Chapter 561 Birthday Cake
Everyone had a tacit understanding that the final spot would be reserved for Miss Chu, so Lin Tong stood up consciously.
“Mr. Yi.”
He was obviously a little nervous, and he choked and coughed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hey, slow down and say it, Mu Mu, you can handle it."
Xu Yang laughed and looked like he wanted to make some more jokes, but Su Chengyi glanced at him lightly and sat down again.
"Mr. Yi, among the few of us, I was probably the last to get to know you. But after I transferred to No. 1 Middle School, I quickly noticed you. At first, I thought we were the same kind. Man."
"Later I found out that it is completely different. You are a real genius, completely different from the type like me who only memorizes things by rote. Therefore, I feel that we can never produce anything one by one. contact.”
"I never would have thought that you would take the initiative to help me out with Hou Xiaohong and get into a lot of trouble because of me. During that time, I was very conflicted every day."
" On the one hand, I am very happy because I have made you as a friend. I have never been so happy in my life, just like winning a lottery. On the other hand, I feel very inferior and don't know how I could have met this luck. .”
Having said this, Lin Tong sighed softly. Now that he recalls the panic and complicated emotions during that time, he still feels that they are vivid in his mind.
Just like a child who has never had a toy suddenly gets a beautiful crystal ball, he is worried that it will break no matter where he puts it.
Su Chengyi originally wanted to say a word of comfort, but after thinking about it, he chose to listen quietly.
“Being able to meet such wonderful people like you is as incredible as a dream. It seems that my life has become a turning point from that moment on, and the sun suddenly shines in the dark room covered with cobwebs.”
"And the person who opened this door is you, Mr. Yi, thank you for pulling me out of the quagmire. I was already prepared to struggle in it for the rest of my life.
I am a cowardly and timid person, and I always live with a muddled mentality. But now I feel that because people like you exist, this world is really beautiful. "
Lin Tong took a deep breath, picked up the cup, and said solemnly:
"Happy birthday, Mr. Yi. You saved my life, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you at any time, even to the death. ”
The weight of his words can be said to be very heavy. To others, it may just be a nice scene talk, but when it comes from Lin Tong’s mouth, it means that he will really do this. .
Su Chengyi, too.
Mu Mu has already carried such a big secret for him, which is no different from carrying a time bomb all over his body. It is not too much to say that he will die through fire and water.
"I didn't save your life, I just happened to appear in your life at the right time."
Su Chengyi clinked glasses with him with a smile and continued:
"It's not easy to be friends with someone like me, and you will have to work hard next."
The implication is that probably only the two of them here who are clinking glasses can understand it.
Lin Tong exhaled, his tone sounding like a strong man who is ready to die.
“I wish you peace and success in your nineteenth year, and whatever you wish for is what you get.”
Putting aside the literal appearance, it is actually simple and plain:
Qian You must survive well, Mr. Yi! ! Don't die! ! ! God, if it doesn't work, just let him achieve Consummation! !
The last person to make a grand appearance was Miss Chu. She had just finished eating a whole plate of small glutinous rice cakes. When she stood up, there was still a little bit of bean flour on the corner of her mouth.
Su Chengyi reached out his hand to wipe it off for her knowingly, and flicked her forehead.
“Do you also want to go through this process?”
“Of course.”
Chu Qingmian picked up the Coke cup, her watery almond eyes in the private room. It looks very warm under the goose yellow light.
“Ahem, after tonight, our classmate Su Chengyi will turn nineteen! If all counts, this will be the twelfth year we have known each other.
If you don’t count the time you ate my rice cake when you were a kid! Well, except for the Go match! "
"For me, you occupy not only my youth, but my entire life. No matter which memory you look back on, you are the most vivid and important person. "
"Su Chengyi, happy birthday, thank you for appearing in my life. Not only at nineteen, I will be by your side every birthday from now on. ”
“No matter how old we grow, my love for you will only grow and never diminish, forever, forever. "
Chu Qingmian pursed her lips slightly, holding back her tears with great difficulty, and finished the toast that she had been brewing in her heart for a long time.
Su Chengyi looked at her intently for a long time, and suddenly wanted to sigh softly.
Anyone who has Chu Qingmian’s affection will make people feel very happy, but he is the only one who feels indebted at this time.
“I also want to thank you for appearing in my life. Speaking of which, my life has meaning only after meeting you.”
This meeting is actually what Chu Qingmian said. It's not the same, but it refers to the chance encounter at the subway station after rebirth.
Su Chengyi lightly touched the cup in Chu Qingmian's hand. After hearing the crisp sound of the glass colliding, he continued to think:
Chu Qingmian was the first person he met after his rebirth. It could also be said that she guided him step by step to understand the meaning of rebirth.
If we talk about the intention of "gift", Miss Chu herself is probably the best gift, the most important "golden finger" given after "rebirth".
The toast session was over, Su Chengyi coughed, pulled out his chair and sat down again.
“I hope that when you wake up in the middle of the night, you will never be so disturbed by your disgusting words that you can’t sleep.”
“Damn it, Mr. Yi, when you say that, I will now I feel a little goosebumps.”
Xu Yang rubbed his arms awkwardly, feeling that his emotions were really harmful. Those words he just said were not something that could be said between grown men.
Han Bing took a sip of Coke and spread his hands indifferently.
"It doesn't matter, what I said is true, and I can't regret it at all."
"I think so too."
Although Lin Tong said this, Thinking about it carefully, I'm still a little embarrassed.
For such a good thing as a birthday, he actually said something like "I will never give up". It was a bit too heavy, and it sounded very unlucky.
Miss Chu is also very confident. After all, after being with Su Chengyi, she has been saying words like "I like it" and "My favorite in the world" every day. I'm afraid that he won't feel loved by me.
She will not be stingy about expressing her love. If she likes it, she must like it openly and openly.
“Come on, come on, keep putting food in!”
As the owner, Xu Yang consciously continued to help with the food.
"Don't take out that boneless duck paw, this thing has to be eaten last!"
"Look at the wakame you ordered, if you don't eat it, it will multiply until it's all over the pot. , give it all to you! ”
"You're sick. How can I finish eating after scooping so much?!"
"I didn't order it anyway, you ordered it."
"If you dare, take what you just ate from me." Spit it all out.”
"Why? You even ate the crispy pork I ordered. Why didn't you vomit?"
"."
Xu Yang and Han Bing, the happy enemies, soon started to develop. A new round of elementary school-style quarrels broke out.
Su Chengyi slowly picked up a small piece of crispy pork, dipped it in some dried chili noodles and put it in his mouth.
The crispy pork was well fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was a little cold, but it still tasted good when paired with chili noodles.
"It looks like there is no more food. How about ordering some more? Wood, what else do you want to eat?"
Xu Yang held up a large colander, like a chef in charge of cooking.
“No, no, I’ve almost eaten.” Lin Tong just stuffed a potato slice into his mouth and quickly shook his head in confusion.
“Don’t order, the pot is almost finished, there will be cake later.”
Han Bing checked the large amount of leftover vegetables in the pot and pinned his hopes on Chu Qingmian.
"Mianmian, how about it, can you still fight?"
"I want to eat cake more."
Chu Qingmian said honestly.
"Okay, okay, if you can't eat it, forget it. Don't force it, you'll be exhausted soon."
Han Bing nodded, turned around and pointed the finger at Xu Yang.
“Eat quickly! It’s a shameful waste!”
“Why don’t you eat?!”
“Let’s eat together. Hurry up and stop worrying.”
Han Bing snatched his large colander and began to share without explanation.
"I don't like tofu, don't scoop it out for me!"
"You must eat it."
"Don't eat lettuce!!"
"You must eat it."
“I really can’t accept winter melon, sister.”
"Must eat."
"."
In the end, with the efforts of everyone, the pot was cleared away.
Just like the first time we came out for dinner, everyone relied on willpower to complete Operation CD and put an end to wasting food.
Xu Yang then called the waiter and pushed in the cake he had ordered early.
The three-layered vanilla ice cream cake was decorated with Su Chengyi's favorite strawberry, and the top layer had "Happy Birthday" written in four colors of jam.
The fonts don’t fit together and the colors are inconsistent. It really doesn’t look pretty.
“Each of us wrote a word!”
Xu Yang emphasized happily.
Should I say it or not, that’s what it is.
Su Chengyi looked at it and saw "生" written on the green applesauce. The font was very delicate. It should be Han Bing.
"日" is chocolate jam. This person is obviously impatient and wants to pretend that he is good at writing, so that the "日" is written like the Greek letter "θ". There is no one else except Xu Yang.
"Kuai" is a regular script font, and each stroke is made of mango jam made of wood.
The last "楽" is specially written in traditional Chinese characters, strawberry jam. It is obvious that it is Miss Chu's beautiful font.
“I know you are very attentive, but don’t be attentive yet, practice your calligraphy first.”
There was a bit of ridicule in Su Chengyi's tone, which was his favorite tone on weekdays. It was very flattering.
“What do you mean!!!”
The four protested in unison.
“Are you saying that our handwriting is ugly?! Come on, brother, our hands are shaking so nervously that we look like Parkinson’s!”
“I always thought this person used to That’s how you talk! I was thinking about it when I wasn’t familiar with him. You said it’s a miracle that no one found trouble and beat him up!”
"You are dreaming that you are number one in grade, future science champion, and the lifeblood of the principal. If you dare to beat him, you don't want to live, right?"
"Although, how does the words "the lifeblood of the principal" sound? It's a bit weird."
"Believe me, I've wanted to beat him for a long time, even when we first met! The type of person makes you feel as lifeless as punching the air."
The other four people nodded in agreement with Chu Qingmian's accusation.
Amidst the commotion, 19 candles were evenly inserted on the cake, carefully avoiding the strawberries and fonts.
Xu Yang took out a lighter from his pocket, looked at Han Bing with a guilty conscience, and explained in a subtle way:
"I don't smoke, this is when I order a cake. "Gift."
Han Bing snorted noncommittally, pulled out an extra candle, and motioned for him to light this one first.
The two of them lit one side each, and soon all nineteen candles were lit.
Lin Tong walked to the door and turned off the light.
The candlelight shines on everyone's face, bringing a warm feeling.
Su Chengyi suddenly understood why the habit of "eating cake on birthdays" is sought after by so many people.
Because on such a day, you are surrounded by your closest friends, and everyone’s expectant eyes have a heart warmer than candlelight, which makes people feel that happiness can be embodied.
Chu Qingmian quietly folded the crown for the birthday boy behind his back, stood up on tiptoes and quietly placed it on his head.
Su Chengyi subconsciously reached out to take it off, but with her coquettish look, he had no choice but to accept this ritual.
It was rare to see this great god looking uncomfortable. Xu Yang clapped his hands while suppressing a smile and said loudly:
"Okay, okay, let's sing Happy Birthday! Let's count down. , three, two, one!”
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you~~~”
“Happybirthdaytoyou~Happybirthdaytoyou~HappybirthdaydearX1~Happybirthdaytoyou!”
After singing birthday songs in both Chinese and English, the four of them cheered in unison.
“Make a wish, make a wish!!”
Su Chengyi’s face turned a little red by the firelight. He slowly closed his eyes and said silently in his heart:
“I I hope everyone around me is healthy and happy, I hope this kind of happiness can continue, and I hope everything will settle down next year.”
If rebirth is just an accident, he is glad that there are still people in the world. Such chance can add so many memorable moments to his life.
Putting aside everything else, this friendship is always worth touching.
If he had not been reborn, he would have lost many, many things now. He would not have the status of a talented producer Zhi Jinchen, nor would he be the young boss of X1 Studio.
Maybe he is just an ordinary male college student, but as long as he can take this step in his previous life and take the initiative to walk towards his friends, he will definitely be able to have the warm candlelight in front of him.
Maybe this is the meaning of rebirth, Su Cheng thought, the most precious things in the world are sometimes within reach.
