1. Wedges
The Massachusetts sky was a little overcast, with some light snow drifting, and the surroundings were very quiet, and the man in the light gray coat walked with a heavy heart.
The lines of his face were clear and beautiful, his eyes were as deep as ink, he gently dusted the snowflakes on his shoulders, turned the key, pushed the door open, and only heard a bang-
Colorful streamers and shredded paper fell on his black hair, and a group of people of different colors jumped out of nowhere, shouting in unison, "Surprise.HappyBirthday."
"Jiang Yan, happy birthday." The most beautiful Asian girl in the crowd held a small but delicate birthday cake and said to Jiang Yan, the flickering candlelight reflected on her face, and the curly eyelashes seemed to be trimmed with gold, making her face even more delicate.
She was obviously well-dressed, with a red crossover dress and white stiletto heels, lined with her waist and long legs, from the toes, beautiful to the eyelashes.
Someone in the crowd seemed to whisper, "Jasmine is beautiful." โ
Jiang Yan nodded lightly and said, "Thank you." "I look scared.
Lin Mo hugged the cake, he didn't expect him to be so cold, and he was a little at a loss for a while, but he quickly regained his composure, showed his signature smile, and said lazily: "Everyone said that they learned a lot from you this semester, so I came to celebrate your birthday today." Michael and I were in charge of setting up the scene, and Qin Sheng invited some Chinese ...... from outside the college."
"Hmm." Jiang Yan nodded, looked around, the scene was really well decorated, his clean and elegant little apartment was really colorful now, hung with Michael-style bad color bars, roses were sprinkled on the sofa, and the bar was full of all kinds of wine.
A hysterical music was playing on the stereo, and the shaking crowd was ...... There were people he knew, and more people he didn't know, but there was definitely no Shen Xi.
This is probably his worst birthday, noisy, chaotic, he doesn't like all the qiฤ elements, these noises and chaos are not made by Shen Xi.
Jiang Yan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, raised a glass of champagne on the bar, signaled to everyone, and said two polite words in fluent English.
In fact, he doesn't need to say anything, as soon as the magical music is played, most people are already crazy, there are big beauties who eat and drink, it's really an excellent birthday party.
Jiang Yan turned his head to look at the two "culprits" in the corner. The corners of Qin Sheng's mouth were smiling, and he spread his hands innocently, Michael, who was really "silly and sweet", was whistling, with a bunch of keys hanging from his fingers, and his blue eyes were full of pride.
Jiang Yan's head suddenly popped up with the popular phrase that Shen Xi likes to use recently: Damn, mentally retarded.
Probably seeing his uncertain face, the two mentally retarded still rubbed over.
Michael glanced at Lin Mo, a beautiful woman who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and was also a little depressed, and asked with a little wine: "Oh. Jiang, Jasmine is so proactive, you are not even impressed?" โ
Does it have to be tempting to take the initiative?
Jiang Yan suddenly had this sentence in his heart, and then he thought, it's not that he hasn't seen someone more active than her over the years, but Shen Xi, that little fool, said the sentence "I like Jiang Yan" stupidly at the school radio station.
Thinking of Shen Xi, Jiang Yan's eyes that were originally like snow added some warmth, but when she thought of this whole day, she didn't even call him, Jiang Yan's expression couldn't help but look like a little in the gloomy sky.
On last year's birthday, he returned to China to spend with Shen Xi, Shen Xi found a bar to watch the game together, the bar was noisy to death, Shen Xi was babbling throughout the whole process, fortunately with her, so he endured it.
On his birthday the year before last, he was at the construction base in Ethiopia, and Shen Xi used his iPad to accompany him to watch the sunset in Addis Ababa, although she fell asleep halfway, but she looked very beautiful when she fell asleep, so he endured it.
โฆโฆ
On his birthday twenty years ago, he also spent it with Shen Xi. At the age of five, Shen Xi kissed him for the first time, but the main purpose was to smear a mouth full of cream on his face. The cake was sweet, so he endured it.
But he didn't spend it with Shen Xi this year, he didn't pay attention to birthdays, but Shen Xi paid special attention to it, and often started preparing a month ago.
Shen Xi not only didn't celebrate his birthday with him this year, but also didn't even mention his birthday.
Jiang Yan opened WeChat, and the avatar of Xiaoxi, who loves fish, was quiet.
Her last message on Moments was: "I went out shopping with Aunt Xu Li today, and I forgot everything I bought and bought." โ
So he was so happy to buy and buy in the department store that he forgot his birthday?
But it's clear ...... Since 20 years ago, she has never forgotten it.
The way he walked over absentmindedly just now made Jiang Yan have to admit that he thought about Shen Xi's stupid guy a little bit, compared with Michael, who is mentally retarded, Jiang Yan also felt that Shen Xi was actually quite smart, at least he never brought many strange people to celebrate his birthday every year, except for his own mother Xu Li who occasionally came uninvited.
In a bad mood, Jiang Yan pointed at Michael and said, "You, after the party, within two hours, my apartment must be restored to its original state." โ
Michael had a bitter face, although Jiang Yan didn't say much, he heard Chi Guoguo's threat, and when he thought of the mountain-like presentation and paper, he felt that it was better to listen to Jiang Yan obediently.
There has always been a saying in the School of Architecture, "Follow Team Leader Jiang, A++ at the end of the term". But Michael still made a dying struggle, howling: "Jiang, if you don't like Jasmine, you don't like it, how can you spill your anger on my head." โ
It just so happened that the music paused, and Michael's voice was penetrating enough that the people sitting in the small half of the living room could hear it clearly. But as another piece of music played, the crowd continued to high.
It is really a common thing for Ian Jiang, the well-known flower of Kaolin in the academy, to reject a beautiful woman again. Even if this JasmineLin is said to be the Asian flower of the Massachusetts Collegiate after NicoleLi.
Lin Mo held the red wine glass, pretending to be light and light, and smiled at the female companion, but the slightly sympathetic eyes of the female companion aroused her anger, and she flicked her long skirt with her fingers, and walked towards Jiang Yan with one step.
Halfway through, he stopped, because Qin Sheng, the Wen swallow man with glasses, didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at her, and said to Jiang Yan in Chinese: "You are really guarding yourself for Xiaoxi." Gee. โ
Michael raised his hand in protest: "Don't whisper in Chinese." โ
Jiang Yan translated for him "kindly": "Qin said that today's ideas are all made by you alone. โ
Michael pointed at Qin Sheng angrily: "He made a bet with me." โ
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What are you betting on?" โ
Michael poured beans into a bamboo tube and said, "Bet on whether you will accept Jasmine's confession." Qin said you won't, oh my god, now it seems that he won. Oh, sure enough, Qin is still the one who knows you best. โ
Michael's tone was still faintly unconvinced, Qin Sheng spread his hands, and the expression on his face was a little cheap.
Jiang Yan rubbed his eyebrows, ignored the two of them anymore, and opened the WeChat circle of friends again, but what he saw was a message that made him vomit blood:
Xiaoxi, who loves fish: "I'm really happy to be with Xiaobai today." It turns out that there are so many ways to drink coffee. The photo below is a group photo of Shen Xi and a strange man in a cafรฉ, which is quite intimate.
Shen Xi didn't know when she had permed her curly hair, her flaxen-colored curly hair was draped over her shoulders, the light blue ribbon headband and the light blue tweed coat she was wearing were the same color, fresh and elegant, she had always been very good at matching clothes. The man next to her looks very white and handsome, the corners of his lips are slightly hooked, and there is a pair of dimples that are a little similar to Shen Xi, Jiang Yan is like a cold winter, and this man is like a warm spring sun.
Jiang Yan's face at the moment is even more cold than Winter, he and Shen Xi have known each other since they wore open crotch pants, up to her 80-year-old grandfather, down to her newborn nephew, close to her cousin, far to her roommate's boyfriend, every male creature around her, he knows it, but he has never heard of it, let alone seen this person named Xiaobai.
So, Shen Xi was so happy with this little white that he even forgot about his birthday?!
Jiang Yan's heart jumped, and he faintly felt that his head seemed to be a little green.
He subconsciously wrote a comment: Who is Xiaobai. I thought about it and deleted it again.
In public, writing a comment like this seems too much like questioning. I wanted to dial Shen Xi's phone number, and stared at the address book for a long time, but I didn't click on the familiar name after all.
In the noisy birthday pie, Jiang Yan sat on the chair impassively, brushing Shen Xi's circle of friends.
Xu Li, the empress dowager of the Jiang family, was the first to leave a message to Shen Xi, and her tone was a little sour: Xiaoxi, who is this boy, hey, he looks so handsome, when will he introduce it to his aunt. However, there is still no Xiao Jiang Shuai in our family. Xiaoxi, don't forget our Xiaojiang, oh>0<
Jiang Yan twitched the corners of his lips, his premonition became more and more bad, Xu Li, who was still walking hand in hand with Shen Xi in department stores two days ago, didn't know who this Xiaobai was, what did Shen Xi do in his absence!
Shen Xi replied quickly: ^-^. An emoji without any substantive reply.
The second message is Xiao Shucha, Xiao Shucha is Shen Xi's current roommate Luo Yan in the graduate dormitory, and the tone is extremely fussful: Xiaoxi!! Why are you surrounded by handsome guys!!! Recruit me from the truth, are you going to climb the rhythm of the wall?
Shen Xi's reply was just two words: uh-huh.
Shen Xi admitted it?!! Jiang Yan took a glass of wine in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
Michael exclaimed, "Jiang, this is Martini, is it okay for you to drink like this?" โ
Something, of course there is something, Jiang Yan's throat immediately produced a thick burning sensation, and the stinging pain spread little by little, but this pain also made him sober up quickly.
Shen Xi knew that he could see the comments of these people, so was he deliberately stimulating him and getting angry with him? But he couldn't think of the reason why Shen Xi was angry, so he could only numb and swipe the circle of friends again.
Shen Xi's latest comment was left by Qin Sheng: "Xiaoxi, don't you remember what day it is today?" It was too โกโก to ask, but it was exactly what he wanted to ask. Qin Sheng is Jiang Yan's current classmate, and he and Shen Xi's high school classmates are also together.
Jiang Yan raised his head and glanced at Qin Sheng lightly, Qin Sheng chuckled, and his expression was a little cheaper.
He actually had a time when he was grabbed by Qin Sheng. Jiang Yan poured himself another glass of wine, poured it as slowly as he could, and then took a sip very slowly before looking down at his phone.
Shen Xi really came back again: today is the third day of my hair......-_-
Rao is Jiang Yan has always been cold and self-controlled, and he can't help but be a little disappointed at this time.
Qin Sheng obviously saw the comment as well, jumped off the barstool, and patted Jiang Yan's shoulder with a rather heavy face, as if to comfort him.
"Laugh." Jiang Yan stared at the clear glass of wine, his eyes darkened.
Sure enough, Qin Sheng burst out laughing, leaning forward and leaning back with laughter: "Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan, you actually had a day when you were dumped by Xiaoxi." This is really special, it's a long time to see, a long time to see. Wowha, wowhahaha......"
Qin Sheng's laughter was so swaggering that the people around him stopped to look at him.
Jiang Yan lowered his eyes and unwillingly sent a WeChat message to Shen Xi: ?
The state of "the other party is typing" over there lasted for a while, and finally, Jiang Yan received a line of words:
"I'm going to use a breakup ticket."
So, Shen Xi doesn't want him anymore? โฆโฆ
He actually had a day when he was dumped by Shen Xi. Since twenty years ago, Shen Xi has been the heel behind him, sticking to him tightly.
But suddenly, he was thrown away by Shen Xi in a silent way, he didn't know how long it took him to slowly build a future with Shen Xi, but Shen Xi turned around and left, not even giving a warning.
