Chapter 7 Birthdays
Today is Dongyang's 20th birthday, and it happened to be a Saturday, so I blamed him for punching me yesterday, so I didn't want to prepare a gift for him. But then Chubby told me that Dongyang also regretted beating me and took care of me for half the night. After thinking about it, I felt that I should buy him something, after all, I was sick a while ago and it was troublesome for others to take care of him.
What should I buy? Boys send boys, and they can't be too ambiguous. Buy the expensive one, I can drink the northwest wind half a month after buying it, buy the cheap one, it seems that I can't get it. Why don't I just give him 200 yuan in the card? Isn't it too cheesy and seems insincere.
I walked back and forth twice on this crowded pedestrian street, but I still couldn't make up my mind.
What does this guy like? Oh, by the way, he likes to play basketball, why don't you buy a pair of sneakers, Nike, Jordan, Adi walked around the store, and I walked out in a gloomy way. A casual pair of eyes will cost 1,800 yuan, and the price is ridiculously high when he looks up to the sky.
"Hey! Zhang Yao! Why are you here? ”
Someone behind me called my name, and when I turned around, I saw Li Wenjing and Wang Sainan.
"The seniors are also shopping today, what a coincidence, so many people can still meet."
"If we don't say that we are destined, I will find that I can always meet you." Li Wenjing walked up to me and grabbed my arm: "Just in a moment, you can still help us carry things." ”
Think about how good it was to play games in my dorm room on a good weekend, and now it's good to run here and get caught. But it's not useless to be with them, at least they can give some advice, and it's good to buy some gifts for Dongyang for 200 yuan.
Wang Sainan's opinion is that 200 yuan is not too much, and less is not too little, so just buy a cake and eat it.
Li Wenjing felt that the birthday gift still left a little souvenir, and it was impossible to see it after eating, so it was good not to buy a pair of leather gloves, anyway, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it could be used in the future.
After thinking about it, I think that the quiet plan is feasible, and 200 yuan to buy a pair of ordinary leather gloves should be about the same. It is undeniable that girls think more carefully than men in this regard, and maybe they really have to find a girlfriend soon. Thinking of this, I don't know why Ding Xiaorou's face suddenly appeared in my mind, and it seems that it is difficult to forget her.
In the middle of the night, dragging my tired body finally returned to school, and as soon as I entered the dormitory, I saw Lao Cai and Niangniang running to our group again.
"Zhang Yao, you're back, now it's time for you to make a final decision."
The whole room was looking at me, and I hurriedly hid the box with gloves behind my back.
"What am I shooting?"
"Oh, Niangniang said, today Dongyang's birthday he is Dong Dong invited everyone to go to Di Bar to play, now it's up to you to make a statement, Dongyang said that if you go, he will go, and if you don't go, he won't go." Lao Cai is anxious, and he is the most active when he encounters this kind of free and white thing.
"What do you mean by listening to me on your birthday? I'll follow you if you go. I looked at Dongyang, who was sitting at the computer desk and didn't say a word.
I looked around at everyone's faces again: "Since everyone wants to go, let's go." ”
"Come on! Just waiting for your words! Lao Cai was so happy that he jumped straight up.
Niangniang was also very happy: "Hurry up and help the palace, get off!" ”
"Tsk!" Chubby and glasses went out the door while helping him.
In the northern winter, there were no people on the street early, and our group of six people were crowded into the Cruze in Dongyang, and I was better to occupy a co-pilot's seat, and the four people in the back were squeezed into a wolf howl like killing pigs.
Thinking about it, it was the first time I took Dongyang's car, and the four people in our dormitory also had a car and a ticket.
"Is it cold?" He said something casually as he drove.
"It's not cold, can it be cold with the four of them in this car?"
A babbling voice came from behind him: "Where are you touching?!! ”
"Damn, who stepped on my feet."
"Fatty, you squeeze me over there!"
The contrast between Dongyang and I sitting in the front is like enjoying a trip, and the people in the back are like they are suffering in hell, and this stark contrast makes me feel funny.
"What are you laughing at?" He asked me curiously.
"Nothing." Afraid that the people behind me would see my gloating face, I looked out the window.
Suddenly, a crystal clear first snow fell on the window in front of me.
"It's snowing?"
"Huh? Really, the first snow of the winter. ”
There was no sound in the back, and everyone was watching the snowflakes falling outside.
After another half an hour of driving, we finally arrived at the Di bar where we were going, and the four people in the back seat were relieved, and after getting out of the car, they all began to stretch their arms and legs to move their muscles and bones.
"I said that when I went back, let the fat man sit in the front. This guy takes up too much space. Old Cai said with a grin.
"When you go back, you can take a taxi and go, I have something to do tomorrow, and I won't go back to school." Dongyang locked the car and walked with us to the house.
"Why do you think you're so mysterious all day?" The glasses pushed the frame on the bridge of the nose.
Dong ** didn't want to answer him.
The dim light in the disco bar was crowded with people, the deafening music made my head crack, and the colorful lights of various colors flashed and dizzy. I tried to stop the people in front of me only to realize that I was lost on the dance floor. When a few scantily clad beauties around me saw me standing next to them stupidly, they threw flattering glances and twisted up and down against me. I don't know how to dance, and if it weren't for Dongyang's birthday, I wouldn't have come to this place at all. In the midst of this awkward overwhelm, a large hand suddenly grabbed my arm.
I didn't see the person in front of me clearly, so I was dragged off the dance floor by him, and when I came to the front of the bar, there were a lot fewer people, and the music was much less distracting. The man who pulled me let go, sat down in the high chair, and turned to face me.
I looked at him, he looked at me, this person felt a little familiar, I don't know where I had seen him, but I couldn't tell who he was, so I had to wait for him to speak first.
"Why are you running here?"
Well, as soon as he said this, it seems that we really know each other, but how can I pick it up later? I can't remember who he is.
"Oh, I've got a friend on his birthday, so I'm going to hang out with him."
"Well, I didn't see you with them just now, so why don't you have a drink with me first." The man smiled slightly, and two pear vortices appeared on his face.
I was always thinking about his identity just now, and I noticed when he smiled, this guy is quite handsome, older than me, and the look between his eyebrows and eyes is much more mature.
"Zhang Yao! Zhang Yao! Dongyang's voice came from the crowd.
"What about this! What about this! "The savior is here, and finally there is no need to continue this awkward conversation.
"Where did you go? Everyone sat down and realized that you didn't come along. A hint of resentment appeared on Dongyang's face.
"I don't know, I can't see you when I walk, and there are too many people here."
Dongyang looked at me and then at the man sitting behind me: "Professor Pan? ”
'Professor Pan?? No wonder I looked at him familiarly, it turned out that he helped me last time, but I didn't see his face clearly when there were so many people in a hurry.
Professor Pan nodded: "Don't call me Professor Pan when you leave the school, it looks like how old I am." When you come out to play, everyone is a friend, just call me Pan Zhen. ”
"Okay, then Brother Zhen why don't you sit with us, there are still a few classmates over there." Dongyang politely let him.
Pan Zhen glanced at me and shook his head: "You guys go over and play, I'll wait for a friend." ”
Leaving the bar, Dongyang and I walked to a semi-open box on the outskirts of the dance hall. Lao Cai and the glasses have already begun to bet on the dice and wine, and the mother saw us coming back and hurriedly pulled Dongyang to her side.
"Big birthday! Sit down, sit down, and the cake will be here in a moment. ”
Looking at the strength of Niangniang's flattery, Lao Cai teased uncomfortably: "I said Niangniang, you have made a bloody investment on Dongyang's birthday, right?" Is it that the tuition fees for the next semester have made you lose their huhuo? ”
The mother gave him a blank look: "Use you to care?!" I didn't let you take it, I drank yours, there was so much nonsense, this palace was rich and capricious! ”
The glasses shook their heads while shaking the dice and said, "The key is that your motives are not pure." Hey, I said Dongyang, look at him so sincerely, or you will obey him. ”
Dongyang frowned, with obvious displeasure on his face: "What are you talking about!" Since it's my birthday, I'll pay for it myself. ”
The atmosphere around it suddenly became awkward.
"Oh, hey, I said, I haven't given you a gift yet, I almost forgot." Saying that, I took out the pair of leather gloves from my bag, "I don't know if you like it or not, you can take it back and change it if it fits." ”
Dongyang took the leather gloves in my hand and tried them, just right. Stretched out his hand and clenched his fists back and forth several times, and there was a trace of emotion in his eyes when he looked at his hands. Is it my delusion? It's just a pair of gloves, probably not.
"Don't just look at Zhang Yao, this is my gift." As he spoke, Chubby also took out a box.
"And mine." Glasses are prepared for one, too.
Lao Cai grabbed his hair and said a little embarrassed: "Dongyang, you know me, you know that Lao Cai and I value money very much, so give you a gift... As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged Dongyang.
"Alright, alright, sit down quickly." Saying that, Niangniang pushed Lao Cai away from Dongyang's side.
"The cake I ordered is also here, let's blow out the candles." The mother clapped her hands and said happily.
Two staff members of the Di Bar pushed up a three-tiered birthday cake with a small cart.
"Damn, you're really ruthless, isn't this something you need to get married to make it so big?" Lao Cai's eyes were about to fall off when he saw this cake.
Yes, how much does such a big cake cost, it seems that Niangniang really likes Dongyang, true love - just one Ding Xiaorou is enough, this time he is obsessed with a boy again, he has nothing but a stronger appearance and a better temperament.
As soon as I thought of Ding Xiaorou, my jealousy began to flood again. Later, until the end of the meeting, my emotions never eased up. It's almost midnight and everyone is ready to leave, so let's find an Internet café to deal with half a night first, because I will definitely not be able to get in when I go back to school at this point.
Before leaving, I was going to go to the bathroom for convenience, but I didn't expect to encounter strange things again.
