Chapter Ninety-Five: Be Your Best Friend
After Li Nian put the cake on the table, he looked at me with tears in his eyes.
It's a look I don't like, a poignant look, a weak look that I've never seen her, straight to the bottom of my heart.
In my eyes, Li Nian... Li Nian has always been an optimistic and cheerful girl, a girl with a big grin, but recently I have seen her eyes red many times and shed a lot of tears.
And most importantly...
These few times it's all about me!
All these times because I'm crying!
And what about when I just saw it, and I didn't see it? Is there more of it?
I don't dare to think...
But I still have this image in my mind, this image that makes me sad.
She must be hiding alone in the dark home, sitting quietly on the sofa alone, in the quiet and dim room, her eyes are ruddy and confused, and finally tears flow out of the corners of her eyes that she can't control.
A drop...
Two drops...
Tears dripped down the couch, on the ground, and down her heart.
For so many years, she has been working hard in Hangzhou City by herself, and I don't seem to have ever cared about her hardships and tiredness.
I never remember her birthday!
I remember Xu Xi's birthday, Liu Yu's birthday, and I remember Brother Xiaoman's birthday.
But...
Her birthday, I never asked, and never wanted to know!
Wait a minute...
Waiting...
I thought of something that had been struggling with me for a long time, and at this moment I finally figured it out.
Ever since I had a mobile phone, every time I have a birthday, I always get a text message, a text message wishing me well.
There are very few words on it, but every year I will receive the blessing of this mobile phone number, and in the past six years, I will receive this one every time: Li Yu, I know that when you see this text message, you will turn off the text message, just as you have never cared about me as a person, but I will also say on your birthday every year, happy birthday.
My throat moved, and finally I held back the words, I really didn't know how to speak.
This moment!
At this moment, my heart suddenly hurt!
Decade...
Ten years have passed in such a hurry, many people have come and gone around me, it is like a dream, and when I wake up, the dream is also shattered.
Then, you take a look, and in the end, Li Nian spent my birthday with me.
She picked me up, she cooked for me, she bought me a birthday cake, she said 'Happy Birthday' to me!
Is she really that idle?
Of course not.
It's not because I care!
It's not because it started with that first acquaintance ten years ago!
Just like I just recalled the past when Li Nian and I used to be, we have had too many stories in the past ten years.
Our story...
I was able to publish a book.
There are mixed flavors in the book.
I've always felt like I've accommodated her too much, but when I think about it, I think about it...
I just found out...
By the end...
It's this woman who has been accommodating me, and I always thought that she was not mature enough, but in fact, I only found out now that I was immature, and childish and ridiculous.
She accommodated me so much, so much, so much that it was incredible.
She showed me her cutest side, in fact, she wanted me to care more about her and let her know that she was different from others.
I...
I always thought that a perfect woman like Li Nian could not be found in this world, she would be surrounded by a lot of people, there would be many people to accompany her on her birthday, and she would have a lot of people to take care of.
But...
Does she really have it?
That's right, of course she really has, she's so good, so unique, how could she not!
But she put all the care, all the care, all the care.
The person she cared about the most, the person she cared about the most, had always kept a long distance from her.
Just like that illness, she was alone at home and endured the torture of her illness, and she didn't think about finding someone else to take care of her.
In the end, it wasn't until I appeared that she regained her former self, showing her cuteness and innocence to her damn self at one time.
When I was endlessly annoyed, Li Nian gently wiped the tears on her cheeks, and then took out a mobile phone from inside her clothes, and then heard the sound of typing from her mobile phone.
As she finished a long string of calls, a 'ding' SMS alert came from my phone.
I turned on my phone...
I received a text message and this number is the number I have been receiving text messages for six years.
It reads: Li Yu, today. Today I can finally celebrate a birthday with you, just as you never cared about me as a person, but I still have to say a word to you!
This was the end of the text message, but Li Nian, who was standing opposite me, threw herself into my arms, and her soft voice came to my ears.
"Happy birthday to you!"
And then...
She sobbed softly in my arms, I don't know what's wrong, my heart hurts so badly.
Li Nian sobbed in my arms for a long time, then finally got a little better, then left my shoulder and rubbed his eyes with his hand.
"Hey, I didn't expect it, the one who sends you a text message every year to wish you a happy birthday is me, don't you think it's a surprise, I... I... I'm not a person who eats so many snacks from you for nothing, I'm not a person without a conscience, and I've been giving you blessings. ”
"Every year in the early hours of your birthday, I must be the first to send you a text message. ”
"Li Yu, Li Yu, you hurry up and praise me, hurry up and praise me, or I.. Or I'll be proud. ”
But obviously...
Obviously it was very relaxed, why did she shed tears again, how much emotion she had pent up, and then finally broke out at this moment.
"Li Yu, if you don't praise me, can I pounce in your arms for a while, I promise for a while. ”
Then, before I could speak, she threw herself into my arms and sobbed even louder.
In the end, he said to me with a crying voice: "Li Yu, I... I'm so tired, I'm not the same person I was ten years ago, I long to have a home, not this house to come home to. ”
"I also want someone to spend my birthday with me, someone to buy a birthday cake for me, and I want someone to say happy birthday to me on my birthday every year. ”
I didn't know what to say, so I could only gently pat her on the shoulder.
I can feel that Li Nian is really tired, and she also has her own pressure.
Li Nian continued: "I... I helped you shoot the last video, you don't know, I was scared to death, so many people rushed into my company, and asked me to come out and meet them, and asked me to give them their phone number. ”
"I also saw a few malicious eyes looking at me, you know what, how scared I was, but I controlled my emotions to celebrate your birthday this year, but I'm sorry, I really can't help it. ”
Originally...
It turned out that Li Nian kept saying to me, 'You killed me', turned out to be the meaning.
I really didn't expect that two videos could bring so much trouble to Li Nian.
Li Nian saw that I didn't speak, probably because he was worried that I was annoyed, and then left my arms, and then burst into tears and laughed.
"Look at what kind of expression you have, I'm kidding you, no.. No one has bad intentions towards me, and I'm not afraid of being disturbed by others, I'm just kidding you. ”
"Okay, don't say such disappointing words, today is your birthday, hurry up and blow out the candles, and then make a wish, let's cut the cake together." ”
I was still in the shock just now and couldn't recover, Li Nian gently patted me on the shoulder.
"Fool, what are you still doing in a daze, blowing out candles, making wishes, cutting cakes. ”
I nodded my head, bent down, and blew out the candle on the cake in one breath, and then closed my eyes to make a wish.
As I closed my eyes and made a wish, I felt a gentle kiss on my cheek.
I was taken aback, then hurriedly opened my eyes, and then looked at Li Nian incredulously.
And after Li Nian saw my expression, he immediately put his hands on his waist and kicked me with his big eyes menacingly.
"Kiss you, aren't you happy?"
I shook my head helplessly, then cut the huge cake into eight pieces, and then took the plate in Li Nian's hand and put a piece for her first, and then put another piece on my own plate.
Li Nian took the cake with a smile in his eyes, and then began to eat the cake on the plate.
This moment...
She seems to be the happiest person in the world.
The two of us sat at the table and ate our cake silently.
Finally, Li Nian put down the cake in his hand and said to me with a serious look:
"Li Yu, I've liked you for a long time, and you may not be able to imagine how long it will take, let's be together, I'm serious. ”
With that, her fingers clasped tightly around her palm.
Has this moment finally come? Did she finally say it?
I don't know how to answer it!
I thought about it for a long time, and Li Nian's eyes were fixed on me for a long time.
Eventually, I pulled out a cigarette from inside my clothes, lit it, and took a deep puff.
"Li Yu, let's be together, just like the video we shot, I... I am willing, I will be you for the rest of my life, whether we are poor or rich, as long as we have you, I am enough!"
When I heard her words, my hands trembled, and the hand holding the cigarette could not be inhaled in my mouth because of the violent tremors.
At last...
I sighed...
Or to her...
"I'm sorry, let's be best friends!"
