Absinthe

Li Wei often comes to the back of the classroom to look for Hao Ai recently. Hao Ai knows in his heart that she is a drunkard and does not want to drink, but Lu Fayan doesn't know. He thought Li Wei was interested in Hao Ai, but Zhong Xiu turned a blind eye to it. , so I was so anxious that I almost broke my heart for my good friend's love affair.

Going to the cafeteria for lunch, Hao Ai and his party met Li Wei at the lunch window, and Li Wei greeted them specially.

As soon as he found a seat after eating and sat down, Lu Fayan leaned next to Hao Ai, covering one side of his face with his palm, lest others would hear: "Ai Ai, tell me, Li Wei doesn't like you, does she?"

"Uh," Hao Ai rubbed his chin and pretended to think about it, then seriously replied, "I don't think so."

Lu Fayan continued, "I think there's something about that."

"Maybe you are thinking too much." Zhong Xiu said suddenly.

"Zhong Xiu, you are wrong. You lack the awareness of precautions against potential rivals." Lu Fayan turned his gaze to Zhong Xiu again, and imparted his love experience with a serious face.

"Hahaha," Hao Ai laughed, "It's so funny."

Lu Fayan felt that the two people in front of him didn't manage their relationship well at all, and failed his good intentions: "What are you laughing at? Dad is so worried about you!"

"Thank you," Hao Ai stuffed a piece of braised eggplant into his mouth, and said casually, "I think you should pay more attention to your relationship status when you have time."

"Yes." Zhong Xiu also said.

Lu Fayan ruthlessly picked up the meat on the dinner plate with his chopsticks: "Oh, I only want to go to college, so I won't be tied down by the love of my children."

Hao Ai said perfunctorily: "...Then I wish you the admission to the ideal university." He felt that Lu Fayan was an elm head without emotion.

In the last self-study class in the afternoon, Hao Ai's cell phone rang, and he deliberately left the phone on mute in order to wait for the call. As soon as the cell phone rang, he immediately ran mysteriously to the corridor to answer it.

"Sister, I'll get it after school in the afternoon..."

"..."

"Please! Uh huh ok, ok, thank you sister!"

Hao Ai hung up the phone and was about to go back to the classroom. When he turned around, he saw Zhong Xiu.

Zhong Xiu listened to him shouting one sister at a time, and felt very uncomfortable.He eased the expression on his face, and lightly patted Hao Ai's shoulder: "Who were you calling just now?"

"It's just a woman who can't get me," Hao Ai began to joke again: "Don't worry, I only have you in my heart!"

"?" Zhong Xiu saw that there was nothing to ask, so he stopped asking.

Hao Ai asked him suddenly: "Do you remember what day it is?"

what day?Zhong Xiu looked at the calendar on the phone, and then remembered: "...it seems to be my birthday."

Birthday is not a special day for him.Parents don't remember, and he doesn't care too much himself.

"How do you know my birthday?" Zhong Xiu asked.

"Do you remember that we sorted out the student files before? I just sorted out yours... so I took a second look." Hao Ai said.

Zhong Xiu remembered that when they sorted out the files together, he also took another look at Hao Ai's files.

It's a coincidence.

"I have a gift for you." Hao Ai said.

"what?"

When the two returned to the class, Hao Ai found a paper among the pile of books and papers on the table: "I will give you an English model test paper for which I only deducted two points for my composition."

"...Thank you so much," Zhong Xiu smiled helplessly, "Why don't you give me a Wusan set?"

But in fact Zhong Xiu was quite happy in his heart. After all, Hao Ai only deducted two points for the composition of the English test this time, which is a great improvement compared to before.

Hao Ai laughed happily, with a triumphant look on his face: "Hahaha, do you really believe it? I was joking."

Zhong Xiu also laughed. He really cooperated with Hao Ai's performance seriously, and seeing him smile, his mood would involuntarily improve.

Today is Friday, and we will be on holiday after the last class.

Hao Ai asked, "Are you going straight home after school?"

"Well," Zhong Xiu nodded, and asked him again: "What's wrong?"

"Accompany me to Lijing Hua Mansion. I want to buy some food for Qu Yihang to take there. He doesn't know how to cook. He probably ordered takeout these few days."

"Okay." Anyway, Zhong Xiu had nothing else to do, so he agreed.

After school, the two arrived at Lijinghua Mansion by bus, and bought a lot of vegetables, fruits and snacks in the supermarket in the community.

Zhong Xiu helped him carry the heaviest bag full of drinks: "Why do you buy so many vegetables? He can't cook either."

"That's right!" Zhong Xiu reminded Hao Ai before realizing this: "Then... let's make dinner first today."

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Hao Ai said, "Qu Yihang should come back at night."

He put the vegetables he bought into the empty refrigerator: "I don't know how long Qu Yihang's parents will be arguing, I heard them quarreling before, and they always scolded him together, and the scolding was very ugly , it's no wonder he... oh."

"It's better to leave early if you don't have feelings." Zhong Xiu helped him take out all the things in the bag.

Hao Ai sighed and said, "How many people can still have feelings at this age? Everyone is making do with it."

"What time is it?" Hao Ai said, looking at the time, and found that it was past five o'clock: "Go downstairs, follow me to a place."

"Okay." Zhong Xiu stood up without asking where he was going, Hao Ai could go anywhere.

"Wait for me." Hao Ai opened the door of another room and went in. He came out with a new helmet in his hand.

"Almost forgot, new helmet, my motorcycle is parked in the parking lot downstairs," he said again, "I bought it specially for you, I always wanted you to ride on the back seat of my motorcycle."

Zhong Xiu took the helmet and waited for him downstairs, while Hao Ai went to the parking lot to drive his motorcycle.

"Come up." A black and red motorcycle stopped in front of Zhong Xiu.

Zhong Xiu supported Hao Ai's waist with one hand, and sat on the back seat as soon as he raised his long legs. He leaned forward and asked in Hao Ai's ear, "Where are you going?"

"Secret it first, you'll know when you get there." Hao Ai's ears were itchy, he smiled and looked back at Zhong Xiu, put on his helmet and started the motorcycle.

After crossing two streets, the motorcycle stopped in front of a cake shop.

Only then did Zhong Xiu understand what Hao Ai was going to do here.

"Sister, I'm here to get the cake I ordered yesterday." Hao Ai ordered a cake here yesterday, and when the cake was ready this afternoon, the clerk called him and asked him to come and pick it up.

The clerk recognized him, and took out the packaged cake for him with great enthusiasm: "Remember to refrigerate if you can't finish eating today."

Inside the translucent packaging box lies an exquisite little dinosaur cake, with delicate cream and jam underneath, and a green crystal little dinosaur in the middle.

"Okay, thank you sister."

"Is it your friend's birthday?" the clerk asked.

"Yes." Hao Ai said.

"Happy birthday! Sure enough, the handsome guy's friend is also a handsome guy." The clerk said.

Zhong Xiu pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."

Walking out of the cake shop, Hao Ai handed the cake box to Zhong Xiu: "There must be a sense of ceremony on birthdays! Happy birthday!"

Just as Zhong Xiu was about to say thank you, Hao Ai said again: "Don't be too moved, don't say thank you, and then I will take you to another place, and there will be a surprise."

So Zhong Xiu sat on the back seat of the motorcycle again, holding the cake in one hand and wrapping his arms around Hao Ai's waist with the other.

The motorcycle stopped outside a shopping mall again, Zhong Xiu followed him up to the third floor, and the two came to a skateboard shop.

The decoration of the store is unique. There is a whole row of skateboards with graffiti on the gray cement wall, and there are a lot of gaudy trendy clothing piled up on the special-shaped shelf next to it.

The boss is a trendy-looking young man, wearing a bright red trendy short-sleeved shirt, sitting in front of the computer watching a video, with a blue denim jacket hanging on the back of the chair behind him.

"Brother, I'm here."

Hao Ai seemed to be very familiar with the boss, and Zhong Xiu sometimes wondered how he knew so many people and seemed to have a good relationship with everyone.

Probably because he is good-looking and sweet-mouthed, and he can boast unambiguously.

Hao Ai stared at the skateboards on the wall: "Brother, are these all new arrivals? They're so cool."

"Yeah, haha, I just entered two days ago."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the boss said: "Your things have been stored here for several days, here." He took out a small box from the cabinet.

It's the kind of pink gift box that can be bought in boutiques, with a bow tied with a purple ribbon on it, and I don't know what it contains.

Zhong Xiu even suspected that it might be a crystal ball that Hao Ai picked out randomly in a boutique.

After leaving the skateboard shop, Zhong Xiu weighed the small box in his hand and asked curiously, "What's in it?"

"Take it apart and have a look." Hao Ai said.

So Zhong Xiu tore off the bow and opened the box.

Hao Ai's gift was an imported skateboard stand.

When we were skateboarding together before, Zhong Xiu mentioned that he needed to replace the board with a new bracket. The skateboard is a whole board, but people like Zhong Xiu who have high requirements for skateboards or professional skaters buy imported parts and assemble them themselves. .

Hao Ai asked: "Can you assemble? If not, I will help you."

"What misunderstanding do you have about me? I just don't know how to mend shoes. I'm sure I can do this kind of basic operation." Zhong Xiu said.

Zhong Xiu carefully observed the bracket in his hand again, and made a new discovery.

The back of the stand has two engraved letters "zx" and a small painted dinosaur.

"You like little dinosaurs so much." Zhong Xiu said.

"Obviously you like it!" Hao Ai said with a smile.

"Well, I like it, I really like it." Zhong Xiu smiled.

"I knew you'd like it."

When the two went back, it was already dark, and as soon as the door of the house was closed, Zhong Xiu called him: "Ai Ai."

"Fuck!" Hao Ai yelled, "Why do I feel so nasty when you call me that?"

Hao Ai was usually used to hearing people call him that, so he didn't feel too embarrassed, but when these two words came out of Zhong Xiu's mouth, it made his face feel hot inexplicably.

"Ai Ai," Zhong Xiu called him again, "I really like it."

"Don't call me that!" Hao Ai glared at him angrily.

"Okay, I won't call it anymore." Zhong Xiu followed suit like a follower of kindness.

Hao Ai inserted the candles into the cake and placed them around the little dinosaur.

"Why don't you want those candles with numbers?" Zhong Xiu wanted to help, but Hao Ai wouldn't let him intervene.

"I think this is more ceremonial." Hao Ai took out the lighter and lit the candles one by one, then turned off the lights, "Okay, let's blow."

The room was suddenly dark, and under the faint candlelight, they could only see each other's faces.

"Aren't you going to sing the birthday song?" Zhong Xiu looked at him with a smile, his handsome face was particularly sharp against the candlelight.

"I... sing out of tune." Hao Ai said embarrassedly, "Why don't you play a song on your phone." As he spoke, he was about to take out his phone.

Zhong Xiu pressed his hand: "No, I just want to hear you sing."

"Oh, no, my singing is really terrible!" Hao Ai was still embarrassed to sing.

"My birthday wish is to hear you sing the birthday song." Zhong Xiu said seriously, "That's the only wish I have. Don't you want me to fulfill it?"

"...Okay, but let's say it first, you are not allowed to laugh at me." Hao Ai agreed helplessly.

"Well, don't laugh."

So Hao Ai sang the whole birthday song that was a bit out of tune in a room with only a little light.

"Happy birthday to Ah Xiu, be happy every day and stay with me."

Zhong Xiu didn't blow out the candle immediately, and put his eyes on Hao Ai wholeheartedly.

"Don't look at me like that, I heard Fang Cheng called you Axiu before," Hao Ai walked in front of him.

"What do you like me to call you?" Hao Ai moved closer, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"Axiu? Xiuxiu?" Hao Ai smiled and saw that Zhong Xiu's ears seemed to be slowly turning red. In fact, he couldn't see clearly in the dark, but Hao Ai felt that his ears were red and his face was also red, as if he was in the dark. Shy, but still unmoved on the face, "Honey? Boyfriend? Baby?"

How could Zhong Xiu bear his teasing, pulled his hand off his body, and pulled him back into his arms.

"I prefer you to call me husband."

Hao Ai avoided his hand and protested: "I haven't eaten the cake yet! I want to eat the cake first!"

"Eat you first."
