A week later, Cheng Lingxi's birthday coincided with a weekend.

She didn't tell Xiao Yunshen about it, and found out in the morning that "Dream Man" happened to be reviewed and put on the shelves as planned, and it was all given to herself as a perfect gift.

The little girl went to a few forums and posted a post, and then saw the slow increase in downloads, and hugged the computer happily and didn't know what to do.

Just then, her phone rang.

Lingxi picked it up and said, "Hey? ”

"Are you awake?" Xiao Yunshen still spoke in a gentle tone.

"Hmm." Cheng Lingxi replied.

"What's on schedule today? Can you accompany me? Xiao Yunshen offered to go on a date, but didn't seem to know her birthday.

"No, where do you want to go?" Lingxi closed his notebook and asked as he climbed down from the bed.

"I have two hours of color class in the afternoon, and then I'm free, if you want, you can come and wait for me first, and then take you to a big meal." Xiao Yunshen said.

It's a bit embarrassing to mention it, when Lingxi missed him too much before, he bought his online class to eavesdrop, but he had never experienced it when he peeked at Teacher Xiao's lecture face-to-face, so he happily agreed: "Okay, you send me the address." ”

"I'll pick you up." Xiao Yun smiled deeply: "When can you get your driver's license down?" ”

"I haven't finished the book of subject one yet...... Cheng Lingxi plucked up the courage to ask: "Then you come early, I'll make lunch for you." ”

"Hmm...... What dishes do you need, make a list for me on WeChat, and I'll bring it over. After Xiao Yunshen finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving her a chance to excuse herself.

It's not the first time that they've inexplicably extended the meeting time longer and longer, and they're still nothing special in the company as usual, but when they're free, they can't wait to stick together all the time.

Is this love?

Ling Xi stood on the edge of the bed and thought about it, thinking that Teacher Xiao would appear in a while, so he hurriedly sent him the shopping list and hurriedly took a bath.

――

The art is very abstract, but the combination of colors is as rigorous and magical as mathematics.

The artists who were about the same age as the group sat in the spacious classroom, but Cheng Lingxi, who was obviously out of the way, seemed the most serious.

She liked the way Xiao Yunshen spoke methodically, liked his eyes, liked his slender hand holding the paintbrush, and this simple fascination had not changed at all from the first time she saw him to this moment many years later.

Everyone's definition of love is different.

For Lingxi, the meaning of love is only three words, Xiao Yunshen.

"Are you tired?"

When she was in a daze, the deity she was in reverie appeared next to the easel.

Cheng Lingxi quickly came back to his senses and shook his head.

"They're going to do the practice on the spot, and there's seventy minutes left, do you want to try it?" Xiao Yunshen looked at his watch and said.

"I won't ......" Lingxi immediately panicked when she saw the model girl walk into the classroom.

"Just play." Xiao Yunshen helped her flatten the drawing paper and clamped it carefully.

As a result, before he could finish his sentence, he was called away by the student in question.

Lingxi's painting level is about the same as that of ordinary people, seeing Xiao Yunshen walking to the easel for a while to paint, and then going to instruct the students, he was too busy to bother more, so he had to paint his scalp and paint.

It's a pity that she struggled for most of the day, and the finished product was miserable, like a clumsy schoolboy.

Xiao Yunshen, who announced the end of class, first put his painting into a wooden frame and wrapped it in silk cloth, and then came over and asked, "How is it?" ”

Cheng Lingxi was ashamed to block in front of the easel: "Don't look at it." ”

"What's the matter, I won't laugh at you, and you haven't laughed at me since I had a handicap." Xiao Yunshen thought it was very interesting.

"You just don't want to look at it." Cheng Lingxi insisted on expressing his position.

"Okay, let's eat." Xiao Yunshen turned around and went back to pack his things.

Taking advantage of this, Lingxi hurriedly rolled up the ugly watercolor scroll and held it in his hand, and then asked, "What did you draw?" ”

Xiao Yunshen turned off the computer and said arrogantly: "You don't show it to me, and I won't show it to you." ”

Cheng Lingxi was speechless and stood aside stupidly.

"The manuscript drawn for the client, nothing new, let's go." Xiao Yunshen patted her head.

――

Like all young girls, Cheng Lingxi couldn't ignore her birthday, but she always felt that it was silly to take the initiative to ask for blessings, so she chose to remain silent.

Fortunately, the western restaurant picked by Mr. Xiao this night was particularly delicious, and the night view outside the window was also super beautiful.

Lingxi, who was celebrating his birthday, felt very satisfied, so much so that he was more lively than usual on the way home: "I put that little game on the shelves, and I only posted it on the forum, but just now a big V saw your name and posted it on Weibo, and now the number of downloads has exploded all of a sudden." ”

"Congratulations, aren't you happy?" Xiao Yunshen asked leisurely in the car.

"Hmmm! There is such a great sense of accomplishment! You can imagine how excited everyone will be when the game of our project is launched at the end of the year. Lingxi smiled and said halfway, and then worried: "But my game is very average, and your fans will be disappointed when they see it......"

"I think it's good." Xiao Yunshen replied: "Besides, I don't care what others say, I can paint if I want to, I know better than anyone if it's good or not." ”

Cheng Lingxi blinked and did not continue to be arrogant.

It just so happened that at this time, Xiao Yunshen had already parked the car firmly downstairs for her.

Lingxi hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and said as he went out, "It's hard work, you should go back and rest early." ”

"Hey, you're really just leaving?" Xiao Yunshen followed and asked.

"Huh?" Lingxi thought about it, and didn't feel that he had forgotten anything, so he was confused.

Xiao Yunshen shook his head helplessly, went to the trunk and took out the painting during the day and said, "Happy birthday." ”

Cheng Lingxi stayed in place and was stunned for a few seconds before he woke up from a dream and went to pick it up with a red face.

"Make a wish first, let me hear it." Xiao Yunshen smiled and didn't let go.

"If you say it, it won't work." Lingxi makes excuses.

"Say it in front of me and it will come true." Xiao Yunshen replied.

Cheng Lingxi helped his glasses in a panic, and as if he had made up his mind, he finally raised his head and said seriously: "I hope you are happy." ”

Xiao Yunshen's eyes widened slightly, and then his tone was very gentle: "Then you will never leave my side." ”

When he was young and frivolous, he also said to other members of the opposite sex that it doesn't count forever, and later after experiencing a lot, he rarely mentioned this kind of emotional vocabulary, but for every word Cheng Lingxi said, this man came from the bottom of his heart.

He speaks of eternity, from this moment to the day he dies.

Cheng Lingxi looked at Xiao Yunshen's beautiful eyes and nodded obediently.

Xiao Yunshen then handed the painting into her hands: "Don't stay up late, good night." ”

――

Unexpectedly, she got a birthday surprise, which simply made the little girl happy.

As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait to remove the silk cloth that protected the painting and flipped it to her eyes.

What Xiao Yunshen painted turned out to be Lingxi sitting in the art classroom today.

The slender and clean girl was exactly like her, her long black hair and the sunlight shining through the window.

Cheng Lingxi was very moved, he is the best at using light and shadow to make his ordinary self so beautiful.

In addition, there is a small greeting card inserted in the frame.

She took it down and looked at it, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"The real you, let me find that my imagination was so barren and boring, I hope to use this life to tell you, the living Cheng Lingxi, in my eyes there is beauty, dear, happy birthday."
