"Red coral!" Wang Wenjuan first recognized the object in Xu Hui's palm, covered with light gray matter, faintly red light, and her surprise was beyond words.

"Ah, you know this thing. Xu Hui was very surprised, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he turned his gaze to Zhang Yi again, "Buddhism says that it represents auspiciousness and nobility, and can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, I hope you are happy!"

Zhang Yi was very excited, although she didn't know much about the value of red coral, she had heard a little, and from Wang Wenjuan's expression, it could be inferred that the things in Xu Hui's hands were very precious. Wang Wenjuan's father is from the Provincial Arts and Crafts Museum, and she deals with jewelry and antiques all day long.

This stupid guy, why did you give me such a precious thing, Zhang Yi was moved, her face turned red, she didn't stretch out her hand, she didn't stretch out her hand, and she was stunned on the spot.

"Birthday present, please accept it. ”

"That's it, my boyfriend sent it, what are you shy. Cheng Jing coaxed, although he was still a little skeptical about the so-called red coral.

"Take it. Wang Wenjuan also said.

"Thank you. Zhang Yi bit her lip and took the red coral from Xu Hui's hand, her fingertips trembled slightly, and her contradictory and bitter mood should have made her refuse this precious gift, but she couldn't do that on such an occasion, Xu Hui would be embarrassed.

Oops, this guy...... Zhang Yi, who was struggling, suddenly found that Xu Hui opened his arms to her, what was he going to do? Too bold, right?! There are two unrelated people here, don't, she wants to struggle to dodge, but her body can't move as if it is rooted, oops...... She has been hugged by Xu Hui.

The two girls on the side were so shocked that they almost dropped their chins on the ground, but Cheng Jing reacted quickly and applauded very exaggeratedly, Wang Wenjuan also hurriedly followed, she originally wanted to study Xu Hui and check for her friends, but two big accidents in a row suddenly made her die down.

Fortunately, Xu Hui was not too much, and quickly let go of the other party, but when the two sides were separated, he whispered in Zhang Yi's ear, "Always happy, happy." ”

Zhang Yi held the red coral in her hand, and suddenly tears fell like rain, her shoulders shrugged, and she cried silently. When the two girls saw this, their expressions suddenly darkened a lot, but they didn't blame Xu Hui for causing trouble at the first time, which was very abnormal.

Wang Wenjuan hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and gently patted Zhang Yi's shoulder to show comfort, while Cheng Jing was silent with a very strange face.

Xu Hui, who didn't know why, panicked, and secretly scolded that his behavior just now was too abrupt, why he always couldn't control himself when he was excited, and he always made such a two-hundred-and-a-half general mistake.

Just when everyone was panicked and embarrassed, Aunt Liu's loud voice came from outside the door, "Young men, girls, let's eat." ”

This shout was undoubtedly a natural voice for Xu Hui, and he hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said, "Zhang Yi, I'm sorry, I ...... just now."

Unexpectedly, before his words began, Zhang Yi stopped crying, she waved her hand at Xu Hui, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and finally cleared her throat and responded, "Got it." ”

The other party's voice was obviously choked and crying, which made Xu Hui very sad to hear, a bad premonition made him feel uneasy, today in Zhang Yi's house, many places are wrong, and he can't say the specifics, in short, it's weird, it's not good.

The lunch was very rich, six dishes and one soup, two meat and four vegetables, placed on the large dining table of Zhang Yi's house, full of aroma, and did not seem crowded at all.

Zhang Yi still had tears on her eyelashes, but she pretended to smile and arranged for everyone to sit, the scene that should have been twittering and lively was very dull at the moment, Wang Wenjuan didn't talk much, and Cheng Jing, who had always had a flamboyant personality, was also silent.

Aunt Liu seemed to know how to observe words and feelings, or maybe she heard something outside the door just now, so she quietly left after taking pictures of the tableware and went to the kitchen.

"Isn't Aunt Liu together?" Xu Hui had nothing to say.

"No, she kept the food herself. ”

"Oh. ”

Then there was silence, and Xu Hui suddenly had a strong premonition that something must happen next.

But the strange thing is that Zhang Yi, who was stunned for a moment, seemed to be back to normal, she cleared her throat and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, "Don't be stunned, everyone, try Aunt Liu's craftsmanship, the dishes she makes are delicious." ”

"You kick ......" Cheng Jing, who had been silent, suddenly became excited, as if she had been hit by something, she covered her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth, glanced at Zhang Yi secretly, and then stood up violently, "Look at my memory, everyone wait a minute." With that, he rushed to the kitchen.

Facing Xu Hui, who looked confused, Zhang Yi just smiled very far-fetchedly. After a while, Cheng Jing appeared at the door of the kitchen, and she shouted, "Let's move and make room for the dining table." ”

In a hurry, Cheng Jing came out with a large disc, on which was a birthday cake with many small candles, "Dangdang...... When, before the meal, the birthday star wants to make a wish, first light the candle. ”

Xu Hui took the initiative to take on the task of lighting candles, but he didn't know if it was because he was restless or for some other reason, his fingers always couldn't get along with him, and he struck three or four matches one after another, but none of them could be lit.

So he changed another box, and Xu Hui, who was sweating profusely, stumbled and lit all the fifteen candles, and was burned N times during the process. But Xu Hui also noticed Zhang Yi's expression, and had been looking at him very intently, and there seemed to be very complicated emotions in his eyes.

"The birthday star closes his eyes and makes a wish, I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday......" It seems that Cheng Jing has also returned to a normal state, acting as a cheesemaster of ceremonies, and singing happy birthday songs with everyone's hands.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi closed her eyes and muttered silently for a long time, and after everyone had sung the lyrics three times, she opened her eyes and got up and blew out the flickering candles on the cake.

"The birthday boy will share the cake with everyone. ”

There was finally a lively atmosphere at the table, although it was only a hint, Zhang Yi still smiled happily, this is what Xu Hui saw today, the other party's first real smile from the heart, it was so sweet.

But Xu Hui also believes that after this smile, I am afraid that all the mysteries of today's birthday party will also be solved.

The silent meal was very depressing, and the cake filled everyone's stomachs half-full, so the main meal could only end hastily. The girls who have always loved to comment on the taste of dishes, except for Cheng Jing's few "delicious", few other words appeared.

Wang Wenjuan seems to be strictly abiding by the principle of eating without saying a word, and is stingy without saying a word, while Zhang Yi often draws circles in her small bowl with chopsticks, and does not eat anything at all.

After Aunt Liu removed the dishes and replaced them with melon seeds and candy, Xu Hui knew that the topic was coming.

As soon as the girls made eye contacts, Wang Wenjuan and Cheng Jing suddenly used the excuse of helping in the kitchen, so they vacated a huge space in the living room, and disappeared very quickly and completely.

"It's your birthday, but I feel like you have something on your mind. Xu Hui, who had been observing for a long time, was naturally blunt.

Zhang Yi smiled faintly, noncommittal, she stood up and said, "It's better to go to my room to get used to it." ”

The two sat down face to face, and there was a brief moment of eye contact, Xu Hui tried to read some information from the other person's eyes, but his restless state of mind quickly made his efforts come to naught.

"I don't know how to start, anyway, I'm sorry. ”

Zhang Yi's inexplicable words made Xu Hui vigilant, but he knew how to leave space for the other party to think, so he was silent.

"I didn't mean to, I just couldn't control myself. Zhang Yi's eyes misted again, and she tried to adjust her emotions, "I admit that I like you very much, but I can't accept you, forgive me." ”

A slow-spoken sentence was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and Xu Hui didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After the biggest hurdle, Zhang Yi seemed to gradually relax, "Next month, I will leave Xiping, my father will transfer to other places, and our whole family will move over." Originally, I thought it was just gossip, but last week, my father told me that the order would come down soon, and my mother had already gone to Beijing to help me implement the school. ”

Xu Hui didn't speak, but buried his head deep in his arms.

"Trust me, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Zhang Yi bit her lip and burst into tears.

Xu Hui couldn't remember how he left Zhang Yi's house, the huge pain made him stumble when he walked, and he felt drunk, and he didn't touch the door of the publishing bureau compound after going around for a long time.

A figure rushed from behind to grab him, it was Cheng Jing.

"I'm fine, I just want to go home and sleep. Xu Hui shook his arms and broke free of Cheng Jing, strode forward, and never looked back.

In the classroom on Monday, Cheng Jing handed Xu Hui a small cardboard box with some trepidation, and opened it to see that it was the red coral, and there was nothing else.

originally thought that Xu Hui would vent his anger, but unexpectedly he was very quiet, silently put away the carton, stuffed it into the belly of the table, and then fell asleep on the table, and slept all morning.

Halfway through, Xu Hui was picked up and reprimanded by the physics teacher and the mathematics teacher respectively, but this guy lowered his head and didn't say a word, and fell asleep afterwards, and actually snored in the last Chinese class. The angry teacher broke the whip, if it weren't for Xu Hui's always good Chinese grades, he would never let go of this student who flouted classroom discipline.

"Don't cry all the time, you have to find time to talk to him, it's not okay to go on like this. Xu Hui's performance in school, Cheng Jing naturally told Zhang Yi without reservation, and a group of people, including Hei Niu, were also asking questions, feeling that Xu Hui was suddenly weird and a little unreasonable, which made Cheng Jing very annoyed.

"Am I excessive?" Zhang Yi, who was wiping her tears, didn't pay attention to Cheng Jing's suggestion at all.

"What's too much, uncle's job transfer is not something you can control, you've done a good job. Cheng Jing was immediately indignant, but he turned his face and sighed again, "I just didn't expect that you and him were so deep." ”

"Do you believe that it lasts forever?"

"What do you mean?" Cheng Jing's eyes widened, feeling incredulous.

"I don't think I'm going to let it go so easily, I'll wait for him. Zhang Yi's eyes suddenly became much firmer, "I hope you can help me keep this secret and help me care more about him." ”

"What is this? You're crazy, aren't you?" Cheng Jing stomped her feet and secretly screamed that it was over.

"I believe that in three years, he will be admitted to Beijing. ”

“……”

Coming out of Zhang Yi's house, Cheng Jing also had a feeling of being drunk.
