Today......

It's Chu He's birthday.

But......

Probably, except for Chu He herself, no one in this world remembers her birthday.

The old-fashioned tape recorder played the "Birthday Song" on a loop.

As a matter of fact......

Although it is a song, it is repeated back and forth, and there are only four simple words "Happy Birthday......

Outside the house is the hustle and bustle of the world, full of reunion and joy, outside the window, many parents with their children, walking through the road that is not long, when crossing the road, the father carries the child, the mother touches the child's head next to it, and then, a family of three walks towards the distance.

And inside the house.

Chu He, who had always been very vigilant, silently smiled at the mirror at this moment, and then gently put the cake on the table.

She didn't realize that the door not far away had opened at all, and she didn't realize that Shen Lang was standing quietly outside the house.

She stared at the candle on the top of the birthday cake, her eyes flashing with a hint of yearning, as if that candle could warm her in the dark, so beautiful.

...... in a person's life

There are always the warmest moments.

And now, probably the warmest time.

"Happy Birthday to You......"

"Happy Birthday to You......"

“......”

Back and forth with the same sentence, Chu He seemed to never get tired of hearing it.

With this sound, Chu He seemed to be stuck in a long, long memory.

....................................

Since the last time I saw Chu He's father in Cannes, France.

Shen Lang never saw Chu He's father again.

He originally thought that Chu He's father would go home and then look for Chu He, but in fact, Shen Lang seemed to have a fork.

He never returned to Huaxia, and he never came to see Chu He.

Even, Shen Lang checked the news about Chu He's father, Chu He's father already had his own family and his own children.

Outside the door.

Shen Lang looked at Chu He, just listening to "Birthday Song" quietly and looking at the burning candles......

Then, the whole person was left alone.

I don't know how long it took......

"Mom......"

"I miss you so much......"

"Can you tell me how I should ...... What to do?"

"I'm sometimes, really, really tired......"

"I don't know what to do anymore......"

“......”

At this time, Chu He said this to the candle faintly, obviously smiling, but under the candlelight, tears flowed out unconsciously, and at this moment, Shen Lang realized that she seemed to be smiling strongly.

"I actually...... Very good. ”

"I have some to eat, some to wear, and no one cares about me, so I can do whatever I want...... I can sleep whenever I want......"

“......”

A gust of wind blew slightly, and the candlelight swayed slightly, and then, Chu He slightly protected the candlelight with his hand.

As if terrified that the candlelight would go out.

The door closed slightly again......

Perhaps, because the tape recorder is still singing the birthday song......

Chu He didn't notice that the door was closed.

....................................

"What is a girl's favorite birthday present?"

"A simpler ......"

"Well, it's warmer, it's better to heal, but ...... Forget about bears and stuff......"

“......”

Xu Ying's phone rang......

Subsequently......

She saw the search of Shen Lang she followed and knew that in the account, Shen Lang initiated a new question.

After seeing this, she was a little stunned.

What's going on in this guy's brain?

After casually returning a music box, Xu Ying suddenly realized that something was not quite right...

This man...

Who are you going to send to?

..............................

The candlelight finally stopped flickering.

Continue to shine gently.

"I've worked so hard to stay alive...... This year, I also tried hard to smile every day......"

“......”

Chu He said these words faintly.

When he was done, he stared at the old-fashioned tape recorder.

The sound of the tape recorder slowly began to weaken......

Nuo Da in the room.

Chu He carefully stroked the tape recorder......

For some reason, she felt like she heard applause, and in addition to applause, there were many blessings.

In the blur of tears, she seemed to see a woman, quietly stroking her head.

The woman was very vague, but she felt extremely warm, and then, around, she seemed to see a tall figure standing next to her, smiling and applauding her.

It's like, back to a far, far away day......

It was her happiest day.

"Happy Birthday to You......"

"Happy Birthday to You......"

“......”

The sound of the tape recorder stopped.

Finally finished playing the sound in the tape.

Subsequently......

Chu He lowered his head.

"Happy birthday to me...... Happy birthday to me......"

"Happy birthday to me!"

“......”

She seemed to hear a quarrel again, and then, as if she heard the sound of drips hanging in the hospital, and the sound of slamming doors, every sound of slamming doors made her feel an inexplicable sense of fear, as if there were demons and monsters in the dark......

"Best wishes ......"

"Wish, beautiful, lovely Miss Chu He, happy twenty-fifth birthday this year!"

“......”

She uttered the words and then clapped herself very hard.

Every time I applaud, I seem to be cheering myself on, and every time I applaud, I seem to be working hard.

She lost her mother a long, long time ago......

And then, a long, long time ago, there was no home......

In the end, she was alone in Huaxia, and she lived to the present without knowing why.

On weekdays, there is probably nothing.

But......

Whenever everyone is reunited and full of warmth, her heart will always be empty and she will always be envious.

This morning......

She watched a person leave with a smile on her face, looking at their luggage, and there was a little yearning for no reason.

Some people, after leaving home, will eventually go back when the Chinese New Year comes.

And some people ......

Where is her home?

The candle was quickly extinguished.

She carefully pulled out the candle, and then, subconsciously, divided the cake into three parts, and after dividing it into three, her body suddenly trembled slightly, and then, throwing the other two into the trash.

She picked up the cake and ate it slowly.

But......

I don't know why, but the tears are getting more and more.

I don't know why, she feels very wronged.

The cake was originally sweet, but at this moment it has a hint of saltiness.

She really didn't want to shed tears, but the tears kept flowing......

It was at this time......

"Knock knock. ”

"Who!"

"Chu He?"

"Shen Lang?"

"Well, are you in there?"

"In, what's wrong, I'm sleeping......"

"Oh. ”

After hearing the knock on the door, Chu He hurriedly cleaned up the cake on the table as soon as possible, looked in the mirror, and wiped away his tears......

But......

Just as she was about to open the door, she suddenly hesitated again.

..............................

Outside.

Shen Lang...... Is there anything wrong with you? I'm a little sleepy right now, so I won't come out. ”

"It's nothing, I just want to ...... with you"

"It's good that the rent is on my card, you don't have to say goodbye, you go now, otherwise you won't be able to catch the car home." ”

Outside the door, Shen Lang heard Chu He's voice and didn't seem to be any different from before.

"Chu He...... How are you going to spend the Chinese New Year this year?"

"I don't have the concept of the New Year...... It's finally the New Year, and I want to get a good night's sleep. ”

"Chu He...... Can you go out for a walk with me?"

"Do you want me to take you to the station?"

"No...... I'm not going back today. ”

"If you don't go back today, can you still have a ticket?"

"There should be ......"

"So what are you doing when you don't go home today?"

"There's a movie coming out recently, so come and see it with me. ”

"You find someone else...... I can't ...... it right now."

"It's probably just you and me in the whole company, as well as Aunt Sweeping and Uncle Janitor......"

"Then you wait. ”

"Good. ”

After about ten minutes, Shen Lang saw Chu He come out.

Chu He didn't wear that dress, but changed into another down jacket, tied a pair of double ponytails, and put some eyeshadow on the side of his eye sockets, and walked out very simply.

Her expression was exactly the same as before, and she looked completely different from the one she had just done.

"What movie to watch?"

"Winter Memories. ”

"What's the story?"

"The bar ...... of the literary and artistic small fresh type"

"Oh, yes...... Are you sure this movie will work for you, though?"

"I don't know, what if it helps?"

"Are you sure you're not going back today?"

"There are too many things, I think about it, but I still forget it......"

"Oh...... All right. ”

When Chu He heard this, he nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Shen Lang's smiling expression.

She laughed along.

I don't know why, she felt that Shen Lang's smile was like the light of a candle......

So warm.

..............................

"It's been a good year!"

"yes, really fast. ”

"What's next year?"

"Next year, let's make a movie, it's an extraordinary time, and a lot of things are very busy. ”

"Oh...... By the way, Shen Lang, how long is your new movie expected to be filmed?"

"I don't know, it may be a little longer than the previous movies, there are too many elements, it must be difficult to shoot......"

"The garbage truck is deformed?" Chu He was curious.

"yes!"

On the street, people come and go......

Many children were holding balloons, chasing and playing.

Chu He and Shen Lang walked forward side by side like this, and the two chatted.

The night of Yanjing is brilliantly lit......

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a couple held hands, as if walking towards a very happy place.

Chu He looked at this city that was both familiar and unfamiliar, and suddenly cherished every second of this moment.

The weather seems to be getting colder.

The two walked into the cinema, and then, after buying two tickets, they walked into the screening room.

"Why is there no one in the cinema today?" Chu He looked at the empty cinema strangely, a little strange.

"Maybe it's not movie time yet. ”

"Hmm......" Chu He nodded, but still looked around suspiciously.

It was at this time......

The lights, which had been bright, suddenly went out.

After extinguishing......

A melody appeared on the big screen......

This melody made Chu He stunned on the spot.

And then......

"Happy birthday, Chu He!"

“......”

“......”

At this moment, Shen Lang next to him stood up, as if playing a trick, and a shining music box appeared in his hand......

...... on the big screen

Lines of "Happy Birthday" also appeared......

Very simple......

But......

But it's very warm.

Chu He looked blankly.

Time, as if at this moment, has been completely frozen.

And then.

Tears......

Once again, it flowed down uncompromisingly.
