An autumn rain and a cool, although the drizzle is not heavy, but it is very melancholy. The city of Seremban is very melancholy, and so are the pedestrians walking on the street.

Most people shouldn't like to get wet, and that includes Jordan.

Jordan walked in front, squinting at the raindrops falling from the sky, and then sighed heavily. He was wearing a peaked cap and carrying a large bag of many things in his hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be the ingredients used in the hot pot, including fresh hairy tripe, kelp, lotus root, potatoes, and beef......

Behind Jordan are Jiang Chao, Guan Tian and Judy.

Originally, Judy only invited Jiang Chao and Guan Tian, but Jordan was also dating Guan Tian, and the time just collided together, and finally Jordan followed with a dead face. Jordan said, "Oh, it's a birthday, it's always more lively when there are more people." I want to be Judy's friend, too!"

That's right. Guan Tian hesitated, so he had to ask Judy if she was willing. Judy thought that Jiang Chao and Jordan would have a good relationship, and Guan Tian would not be able to get it with Jordan in the future...... Thinking of this, Judy agreed.

"Huh, just the four of us?" Jordan was a little surprised to learn that Judy had only invited the three of them. Everyone has their own way of life, Jordan is a person who likes to be lively, and his birthday party is usually a dozen or even dozens of people, and everyone is happy together.

But there are also people like Judy who don't like to be lively, which is consistent with Jiang Chao.

Regarding this, Jiang Chao thought very thoroughly, people will meet many people in their lives, but to become real friends, it means that the two parties must be very similar in interests and personalities, and this probability is very small. A person who can have a few friends in his life can already be regarded as a winner in life.

Therefore, Jiang Chao also doesn't like meaningless socializing and doesn't like to be lively. Most people look back after more than ten years of excitement, and they can't find any traces of those people in the depths of their memories, and even look at the photos of the parties they once had, and you open your mouth to find that you can't call many people's names anymore. Probably Judy has a similar sentiment.

So when he knew that Judy had only invited the three of them, Jiang Chao was also very surprised, and his surprise was even more than Jordan's. Because if it were him, he would definitely invite friends he valued and willing to date...... So that's what Judy thinks?

The four of them made an appointment and went to the park in the morning. Along the way, Judy said very little, and Jiang Chao said very little, but Jordan and Guan Tian were both lively people, talking and laughing in front.

Then it started to rain.

The four of them discussed it and decided to simply go to Judy's house to cook hot pot and eat, which didn't cost much money, was simple, and warm.

At this time, they were heading to Judy's house with the ingredients for the hot pot.

......

Judy's home is not far from Jiang Chao's home, and it is an elegant community.

Building 13, 14th Floor, No. 02.

"Judy's house number is so good! Connecting it is a lifelong love!" Guan Tian obviously didn't come to Judy's house for the first time, but every time he came here, he couldn't help but sigh.

Judy smiled lightly and opened the door.

The room was very clean, the tiled floor was smooth and white and spotlessly clean.

There are disposable slippers at the door of the room for guests to enter the house. Judy went in to change into her Hello Katie slippers, set up the slippers for the three of them in turn, and then smiled: "Come in!"

In addition to Guan Tian, Jordan and Jiang Chao are a little restrained. But Jordan saw a row of figurines in the corner of the living room, and his eyes lit up suddenly, and he involuntarily walked over, leaned over to the figure stand, leaned down to look, and said excitedly: "Wow! One Piece! Luffy! And my Suoda!"

"Hey, you've got pretty sharp eyes! Don't break it!" Guan Tian looked at it and hurriedly ran over.

"I'll just look at it, don't touch it! I'm not a bear child. ”

"Hey, Nami, this Nami has big breasts......"

"Where do you look!?"

Seeing that Jordan and Guan Tian both went to the figure shelf, Judy and Jiang Chao couldn't help but smile slightly.

Suddenly, Judy lowered her head and whispered to Jiang Chao, "Thank you......"

"Huh?"

"The first few times...... I haven't been able to find a chance to thank you formally, so please come to my birthday party......" It seems that to find a suitable reason for inviting Jiang Chao, Judy said this, her face flushed.

"I really don't care. Jiang Chao smiled gently.

Next, they took a short break in the living room and began to prepare the hot pot for the evening.

Obviously, both girls can cook. Jordan clamored for help. And Jiang Chao, who has always been calm, is also eager to try, although the food he cooks for himself is often dark cuisine, but it does not affect his heart as a small Chinese master.

Fortunately, Judy's kitchen is quite large, and the four of them are not too crowded in it.

"Oops! Wear gloves when handling yams!

"Oh my God! Pumpkins can't be cut so small!

"I'll take it, peel it, and cut a potato into half ......"

In the kitchen, there was always the sound of Guan Tian complaining, and Judy couldn't stop laughing, her eyes laughing like crescents. In the end, Jiang Chao and Jordan were invited out by Guan Tian.

in the living room.

"Brother...... Is it still itchy?" Jordan looked at Jiang Chao with ill will.

Jiang Chao was expressionless: "It's not itchy." ”

"Why do you scratch it if you don't itch, hahahaha......"

"Get out. Jiang Chao snorted in a deep voice, and then scratched his hand again.

......

"As for hot pot, it is said that it was invented by slender men. In ancient times, the slender men had no money, so you took some food, I took some food, mixed it together and boiled it in a pot, and everyone could eat different dishes to make a tooth sacrifice. Guan smiled sweetly and gave Judy Science.

"Is that so?" said Judy, smiling thoughtfully.

The four of them gathered in front of the induction cooker, and the hot pot juice was churning in a small pot, and the aroma was overflowing. Guan Tian was busy serving. Although it doesn't have a strong taste of hot pot in a hot pot restaurant, it is cleaner and warmer, and there is a sense of accomplishment in making it yourself, and the four of you eat it very deliciously.

Jiang Chao subconsciously observed the three of them.

Jordan eats the happiest, he loves meat, and the taste is heavy, the sesame oil is not addictive, and he eats it with dried chili noodles. Guan Tian also likes to eat meat, but she doesn't eat much, almost every dish eats one or two, and she doesn't have many clips. Both of them talked and laughed while eating, because the atmosphere of their hot pot meal was very lively.

And Judy's eating appearance can be said to be the best looking among the four. She didn't eat much, and every bite of food had to be chewed gently for a long time before swallowing.

Jiang Chao and Judy didn't have many words.

After eating the hot pot, they are ready to cut the cake.

Jiang Chao doesn't eat sweets. Sweets, with a high glycemic index, cause blood sugar to rise rapidly, and then insulin is released, which converts blood sugar into fat. So sugar is the number one culprit that causes obesity, and Jiang Chao would rather eat fat than sweets. This is the self-discipline of a sportsman he has cultivated since childhood.

Jordan also doesn't eat sweets, for similar reasons to Jiang Chao. But the two girls love to eat, and sweets will not only produce fat, but also a sense of happiness.

"Are you really not going to eat it?"

Jordan and Jiang Chao both shook their heads.

"Alas. I heard that girls' taste buds are more developed than boys, so girls like food more than boys. Guan Tian said with a grin.

The cake is small, but delicate. There is a candle stuck in it. Since the age of 18, girls are reluctant to use the number of candles on their birthday cake to remind themselves how old they are.

"Make a wish!" Jiang Chao lit the candle.

Judy nodded, closed her eyes slightly, silently made a wish, opened them again, and blew out the candle.

Everyone sat in front of the sofa, eating fruit and cake and chatting.

Jordan and Guan Tian are both active. Needless to say, Guan Tian is Judy's best friend. And Jordan doesn't seem to treat himself as an outsider anymore, and the two talk and laugh.

"I said Judy, it's not that I'm too talkative, can I ask who gave you this name? Judy...... Hehe, I feel like a boy's name. ”

Jiang Chao also looked over.

Before Judy could speak, Guan Tian frowned, gently touched Jordan with his hand, and motioned for him not to ask.

Judy hesitated, looked at Jordan and then at Jiang Chao, laughed, lowered her head and whispered, "This name sounds quite boyish...... But I love the name. Because it's about Dad. ”

"Your dad?"

Guan Tian frowned, and stopped talking with some distress: "Judy......"

Judy shook her head and said with a smile, "It's okay. ”

Then, Judy began to tell the story of her name slowly.

"I ...... I am a child of a single-parent family, and I have never been held by my father since I was a child...... I've even seen only his photo. ”

When Jiang Chao and Jordan heard this, they looked at each other and were obviously stunned.

Judy smiled, her eyes sparkling.

"Dad was a cop. His favorite music is the Beatles' "Hey Jude". Dad said that this song is warm and sunny, and people will be moved when they listen to it. ”

"When pursuing my mother, my father deliberately chose a restaurant where music could be played, and then asked the boss to play this song as background music. At that time, my mother was a college student and didn't understand anything, but she could understand the lyrics. Dad told Mom the story behind the song. ”

"Dad said that this song is a song of love and hope. You listen to the lyrics, Hey Jude, don't make it bad, Take a sad song and make it better. Don't be depressed, come and sing a sad song to happiness!) How warm, how uplifting?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Jiang Chao's eyes are complicated, her father is really a romantic and warm man.

Suddenly, Judy lowered her head, was silent for a moment, then raised her head and smiled very brightly: "Later, Dad was seriously injured while chasing a bad guy. At this, Judy's tone paused, as if reminiscing. "When he died, he asked his mother to play this song next to the hospital bed. Then Dad said to Mom, if you are not happy in the future, listen to this song, as long as you hear this song, you hear me. At that time, my mother was pregnant with me. ”

Guan Tian looked at Judy sadly, with tears shining in her eyes, clasped Judy's hand, and whispered: "Judy......"

Judy bit her lip, shook her head and continued to laugh, smiling proudly: "Later...... That's what my mom gave me. Because my father also happens to be surnamed Zhu, Jude, is Judy. That's why I'm called Judy. ”

"So...... I really love my name!" Judy let out a deep sigh of relief and relaxed.

There was a moment of silence.

Jordan's expression was very guilty, and he said, "I'm sorry, Judy......"

Judy shook her head slightly: "It's okay. My dad is a hero and I'm proud of him. So I'd like to share with you the story of my name. ”

"Thank you so much for accompanying me on my birthday today. Do you want to listen to a song?" Judy stood up and walked over to the stereo.

Everyone nodded.

The music started slowly, and it was a warm voice.

hey，jude......
