In the quiet night, the sky full of stars shimmered brightly, like pearls, like handfuls of broken gold, densely inlaid in the dark night. The Milky Way is like a faintly glowing ribbon across the starry sky.

It is destined to be a romantic evening.

Meng Zhao blushed slightly, thinking of what he was going to do today, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, but he still managed to calm himself down, and said with a smile: "You will know if you come with me, let's go?"

"At this time...... We don't have to fight all the time, we can't be away for long. Jin Siqi frowned slightly, but his tone was always soft.

"It won't be long. Meng Zhao hurriedly defended at a loss: "I just want to come out with you for a while, just for a while." ”

"Good. Jin Siqi suppressed his curiosity, followed him with a light smile, and turned his head from time to time to study Meng Zhao's expression.

I always feel that he is weird today.

I have always known that Meng Zhao is a good boy, shy and easily shy, but today he is too abnormal, his cheeks and the tips of his ears are slightly red, like a big girl.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Meng Zhao immediately turned his head and looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Jin Siqi coughed lightly, his red lips were still pursed, and he shook his head lightly and said, "No, I just remembered something else." ”

"Oh. Meng Zhao was a little absent-minded, his mind was full of the next plan, so he didn't think much about it.

The place he was going to take her to was a large area of flowers surrounded by mountains, far away from the chaos of war, and it was simply a pure land in the ancient battlefield. Although it was a long way to go, they were fast and arrived in a short time.

The night is deep, the moonlight is sprinkled, and the large flowers are draped in a moon veil, which is more dreamlike and beautiful. The shallow floral fragrance lingers in the breeze and is refreshing.

"...... here" Jin Siqi was stunned, in recent times, he has been used to seeing swords and swords, and smelling blood, such a beautiful scene is really unforgettable.

For a moment, a strange feeling welled up in her heart, and she raised her eyes to look at Meng Zhao, her slender fingertips retracted into her palms.

"How did you find this place? ”

Meng Zhao hurriedly met her gaze, her smile, under the moonlight, was much more beautiful than a dreamy flower.

"I, I found it by accident, I just wanted to take you to see Sansanxin, do you like it?" He only felt that his face was even hotter, and he hardly dared to look her in the eyes.

"My mother said that even if you are nervous, you should combine work and rest and relax, I am afraid that you are too tired. ”

After being silent for a long time, the air seemed to freeze at this moment, and Meng Zhao couldn't help but become even more nervous, and his palms were soaked with sweat.

Until, Jin Siqi's gentle voice sounded softly: "I like it very much, thank you, Meng Zhao." ”

"Really?" The sudden surprise made Meng Zhao's expression brighten, but he scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, what do you do, we are ......"

Pal......

These three words, but he couldn't say anything.

"Huh?" Jin Siqi tilted his head and looked at him puzzled: "What are we?"

Meng Zhao shook his head desperately, lowered his eyes and whispered, "It's nothing, that, I still have a place to take you." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Jin Siqi handing over a handkerchief, which still had a faint fragrance.

He was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took it, and heard her whisper a little embarrassed: "Your neck...... There's a lot of sweat. ”

Only then did Meng Zhao remember that he was only excited just now, but he forgot to continue to maintain his image. And near the collar, Jin Siqi is naturally inconvenient to help him.

"Oh, thanks. Meng Zhao grinned, looking honest.

Jin Siqi pursed his lips, and seeing that he seemed to be at a loss all the time today, he took the initiative to speak: "Aren't you going to take me somewhere else?" ”

"Well, yes. Meng Zhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to walk forward, this time, this place was very close, and it would soon arrive.

Unlike the beautiful scenery just now, here, there is only a big tree and grass everywhere.

But there is one thing that is even more eye-catching.

Next to the big tree, there is a circle of candles, neatly arranged, forming a shining heart shape, exuding a faint halo, and the entire lawn is covered with a layer of light red, which is particularly beautiful.

Jin Siqi was slightly stunned, and his cheeks were quickly dyed red, I don't know if it was because of the smudge of the light, or other reasons?

This heart shape is the most obvious.

Her red lips opened slightly, but the words were stuck in her throat, and she didn't know what to say.

Meng Zhao next to him was even more nervous, looking at her for a long time before he cautiously said, "Siqi, today is your birthday, happy birthday." ”

Birthday?

Jin Siqi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that today was her birthday, if he hadn't said it, she would have forgotten.

So is it a birthday present?

It's a bit special, but there's no denying that she's very happy.

So, Jin Siqi smiled heartily, and a sweet voice sounded: "Thank you, I'm very happy." ”

"Hehe, you're welcome. ”

After speaking, Meng Zhao scratched his head crampedly again, and suddenly continued: "By the way, there is also Kong Ming Lantern, my mother said that it is the most spiritual to make a wish on your birthday!"

Without waiting for Jin Siqi to speak, he quickly ran to the tree and picked up a beautiful and somewhat large wooden box.

Jin Siqi was stunned for a moment, and smiled lightly, he didn't expect him to come up with so many tricks, it was too unexpected.

Opening the wooden box, Meng Zhao stretched out the folded Kong Ming lantern, took out two more brushes, and handed one to Jin Siqi. Facing her puzzled gaze, he smiled: "You can write down your wishes, and then let them fly, it's very smart." ”

"Good. Jin Siqi was interested, nodded lightly and took the pen, the two stood opposite each other, and at the same time wrote on the Kong Ming lantern in the middle.

"I hope that the war will end soon and that my partners will have a good life. Jin Siqi narrowed his eyes, thought about it, and wrote down this sentence.

The "wars" here do not refer to the virtual wars they are experiencing, but to the wars that are taking place all over the world and are still not stopping.

With the development of the times, most countries have lived a peaceful life, but there will still be some remote and small countries that cannot be found on the map, and they will still become the objects of great powers to conquer and collect resources. And the people of these countries are still living in dire straits every day, even less than the refugees of ancient times.

In the past, Jin Siqi had vaguely heard about the war, but because her country was still relatively peaceful, the bloodshed, deaths and injuries in other corners of the world were very far away for her.

Until participating in this trial, she experienced the cruelty of war firsthand, and every time she saw the sacrifice of her comrades, she would be extremely glad that it was just a virtual game. At the same time, she redoubled her cherishing the hard-won peace around her.

Since this is a world-class live broadcast, she hopes to call for peace to the world with the help of this wish, rather than wishing for her to be popular, or a child's feelings such as love. This is not a show on the spot, but her truest hope after experiencing all kinds of battlefields.

Her handwriting is small and delicate, but Meng Zhao is a little worse.

His face was flushed, and he thought for a while before he left this sentence:

"May Siqi be happy forever. ”

After writing, Meng Zhao deliberately showed a few angles in front of the camera, and when Jin Siqi's curious probe looked at, for fear of being seen by her, he hurriedly lit the core and released the Kong Ming lantern.

At night, the stars are dotted, and the Kong Ming lantern is like an orange-red firefly, slowly rising and drifting towards the distant starry sky.

The two looked up and looked at the Kong Ming lantern, and only when they were far away did they withdraw their gaze and look at each other.

"You...... What did you wish for?"

The two of them said in unison, they were both slightly stunned, and the next moment, Meng Zhao shook his head again and again, waving his hands: "No, no, no, you can't say it, what if it doesn't work?"

"Then you still ask me?" Jin Siqi raised his eyebrows, deliberately teasing him.

Meng Zhao coughed lightly at a loss: "Aren't I curious, I just thought about it, I can't say it." ”

"Oh...... All right. Jin Siqi's eyes were full of smiles.

She always forgets her birthday. Because of a small and ordinary girl like her, she never felt that her birthday was such a day to celebrate.

Anyway, it is impossible for her to invite a large group of friends to spend with her on the night of her birthday; no one will make a special trip to send her a "happy birthday" when she arrives; her birthday is even more unlikely to be on the hot search list of micro-time and space, and be celebrated by 10,000 people.

In this case, the so-called birthday is just one of the countless most ordinary days, so what is there to celebrate?

Without enthusiasm, there would be no more expectations, and without expectations, there would be no more sadness and disappointment.

For a long time, no one has ever worked so hard to celebrate her birthday, and there is a long-cooled emotion that is gradually spreading, turning into a hot current that floods her heart.

Seeing Jin Siqi pursing his lips and snickering, Meng Zhao suddenly became happy, forgetting the embarrassment just now, and with a flash of inspiration, he remembered that he still had something to give away.

"By the way, there is also a cake, I, I made it myself, I don't know if it suits your appetite......" he quickly said this, clapped his hands, and soon, several people sprang out from under the hillside.

"Happy Birthday!"

"Siqi, happy birthday!"

Jin Siqi looked at them in surprise. This time, almost all the companions in Group B arrived, whether they were famous and big names that she usually had difficulty accessing, or ordinary people like her and Meng Zhao, they all stood in front of her neatly and shouted "Happy Birthday" to her together.

The scene that I once dreamed of was unexpectedly realized in front of me in such a way.

Although he knew that tonight's lanterns and streamers, as well as the heart-shaped candle ring, would not be arranged by Meng Zhao alone, but thinking that he had mobilized so many people to participate together in order to celebrate his birthday, there would be no less thought spent on it. Thinking like this, the corners of Jin Siqi's eyes couldn't help but overflow with tears.

One of the people on the opposite side was holding a big cake in his hand, and the others were all smiling, which also warmed her heart.

"Thank you. Jin Siqi bent her eyebrows, and was about to take the cake, but a pair of hands stretched out beside her and took the cake away before her.

When she turned around, she saw Meng Zhao holding the cake, his face a little strange.

The crowd hurriedly stepped aside and watched them for a long time.

Jin Siqi's mind was full of questions, and just when she was confused, Meng Zhao spoke.

"Siqi, I ......" He opened his mouth, but it was like he was stuck, and he couldn't make a sound.

"What's wrong with you?" Jin Siqi was even more confused, his dark eyes flashed slightly, full of puzzlement.

Meng Zhao's face flushed, and he finally blurted out: "Jin Siqi, I like you!"

In an instant, the whole world was silent.

Jin Siqi looked at him stunned as if he had been pointed, as if he couldn't believe it.

However, when Meng Zhao opened his mouth, he was much more neat, his heart was crossed, and he continued to say busily: "Today is your birthday, but I don't just want to say happy birthday to you." ”

"I just want to tell you that I love you for a long, long time, since ...... I had a good impression from the first meeting, and even more so later!"

"Siqi, I want to be with you, I want to be with you forever, can you promise me?"

"This ......" Jin Siqi's breathing became more and more rapid. Although she had a vague consciousness from the beginning, when Meng Zhao really confessed to her in front of everyone, especially in front of the audience around the world, she was still nervous and couldn't help herself.

"Together, together!" When she was silent, the onlookers also gave full play to the role of "assist", and the voices rang out one after another.

In the shouts of everyone, Jin Siqi also came back to her senses, a blush quickly flew on her face, her long eyelashes trembled, and she looked at Meng Zhao.

Overhead, sparkling streamers and lanterns tell him of his love, and beside him, heart-shaped candle rings testify to his love. The lights are blurred, the candlelight flickering, and the faint halo is staggered.

Jin Siqi took a deep breath again, and Meng Zhao's care and thoughtfulness for him were also recalled in his mind.

In all fairness, she knew that she had already accepted Meng Zhao. This little boy, who was a little shy, surprised her and moved her from the beginning, but also used his perseverance to quietly break into her heart-

His outstretched hand, as long as he holds it, can have a lifetime of happiness. It's just that before that, Jin Siqi always had some concerns, she was worried that her dark past would make Meng Zhao dislike her. She was afraid that this hard-won relationship would be as fragile and fragile as foam......

Therefore, she repeatedly procrastinated, evaded, and never responded positively to Meng Zhao's expectations.

But in this war, all the things she experienced also changed a lot for her. So that she can finally get to know herself and Meng Zhao again.

What happened back then was not their own fault, if a person really loved herself, even if she knew her painful past, the choice she made would never be to hurt herself again, but should be...... Doubling down on yourself.

And Meng Zhao, he has proved with his various actions that he is such a person who loves himself.

Even if she can't give him a complete family, she will definitely give him more love so that he will not regret choosing herself.

After a long time, she calmed down, looked directly at Meng Zhao's gaze, slowly and solemnly, and nodded.
