Order... Engaged. ”

Shingo Harano also fell silent.

Although I went to Yukino's house last time, I was a little hasty, and although the behavior of the Kitagawa couple was a little strange, it seems that they are serious now.

But Ai-chan doesn't know about the engagement yet, and if she knows, she doesn't know how she will react.

After all, he and Ai-chan are not engaged, but they are suddenly engaged to Yukino...

If you don't get engaged, you can't explain to Yukino's parents.,If you don't tell Ai-chan, you'll be found out one day.,That's when the real disaster.。

He sighed, and was about to say something when the phone in Kitagawa Yukino's pocket vibrate.

She took it out and looked at it, then looked up at Shingo Harano and whispered, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" He was stunned for a moment.

Xue Nai glanced at him with strange eyes: "Of course I went downstairs to eat, otherwise?" ”

Speechless, okay, you can end the topic so casually, just to avoid a little embarrassment just now.

The two walked downstairs side by side, only to find that the lights in the house had gone out, and by this time it was almost dark, and the only light was the light of the neighbor's house projected through the window.

He walked down the stairs with the handrail, and asked in a loud voice, "Ai-chan?" What's going on, is there a power outage at home? ”

But I thought to myself that it shouldn't be, and I saw that the lights in my neighbor's house were still on, and if there was a power outage, it could only be tripping.

Because the island country is a place where there is basically no power outage, it is even said that Tokyo will not have more than five minutes of power outages a year.

There are too many earthquakes in the island country, and if the cable is broken, it is necessary to dig the road to determine the breakpoint, and the accuracy of the breakpoint detection equipment is limited, so it is not as clear as the telephone pole at a glance. Now there are cable tunnels and urban utility trenches, which may not be so sensitive to earthquakes, but the cost is really high.

Therefore, the island countries are promoting cables, but only new lines.

Telephone poles are resistant to wind and snow, and the island nation of Tokyo Electric Power Company opposes the construction of an underground power grid, and telephone poles are resistant to wind and snow. In the event of a flood or mudslide, it is difficult to distinguish which parts of the underground cable system are damaged, adding to the time it takes to salvage power, they argue.

Telephone poles can also serve other simple functions, such as setting up streetlights and providing positioning space for maps and address markers, which can be very helpful for navigating villages and towns in island nations, where only a small percentage of streets have names.

Reliability and cost are indeed the two main considerations for the island nation's officials.

The probability of an underground power system losing power is 50% less than that of an above-ground power system, but once an underground system is de-energized, its average duration is 58% higher than that of an above-ground power system. So it takes longer to make repairs, so customers who rely on underground roads are usually the last to restore power.

As the underfloor road gets older, the less reliable it becomes. The cost of replacing the underground line is several times, or even 10 times, higher than the cost of replacing the overground line.

In fact, the most fundamental reason for laying so many cables is that there is no money.

The island country was an early developed country, and the pipeline over Japan's cities was a problem left over from history, and the amount of work into the ground was too large, and it was difficult to return. Although the pole is not beautiful, it does not hinder its use, so it is naturally not an object of consideration in the budget arrangement.

When he walked down the stairs, Yukino gently pulled him behind him and said softly, "Happy birthday, Harano-kun." ”

“？？？”

Just when he was still in doubt, the lights of the room turned on instantly.

The sudden light was a little dazzling, and he was in a trance for a moment, and then he heard a familiar voice.

"Shingo, happy birthday!"

He settled down, and saw Fukuhara Aiting in front of him standing at the dining table, his little face seemed to be a little red because of emotion, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

Next to her was a table full of sumptuous dishes, and in the middle of the table was an oversized cake, but it didn't look too exquisite.

Yuan Ye Shingo was stunned, scratched his face, and said with some uncertainty: "Today, is it my birthday?" ”

He himself was a little unsure, but seeing what he saw in front of him undoubtedly proved that it was his birthday.

Since he came to the island country, he didn't care about such a thing as a birthday, after all, even if it was a birthday, there was no one to spend it with him, and then even if he had a precious friend, he forgot about it.

In the past, he could be said to be a full social animal in his hometown, leaving his hometown and going to the big city to live alone and celebrate his birthday? Inexistent.

Shigo Harano looked at Ai Fukuhara, who was happy in front of him, and then turned sideways to look at Kitagawa Yukino, and found that he also had a rare smile on the corner of his mouth, and he felt in his heart... Pretty good.

"Is my birthday today?" His nose was a little sour.

Because he remembered how his family used to celebrate his birthday when he was a child, and now... It's a long way off.

Ai Fukuhara said with a natural face: "I knew that Shingo would forget his birthday, so I and my senior sister secretly prepared, are you happy?" ”

Shigo Harano smiled slightly and touched her little head, "Happy." ”

After saying that, he didn't forget Xue Nai, turned to look at Xue Nai in front of him and said, "Thank you, Xue Nai." ”

"It's nothing, it's just that Fukuhara-san mentioned it." She twisted her face to the side and muttered quietly, but he could hear the stubbornness in her tone clearly.

"Okay Shingo, let's order a cake and make a wish!" Ai Fukuhara was very happy today, and on such a good day, she didn't care about the relationship between Shingo Harano and Yukino and was jealous, but pulled him to the cake with a smile.

From his chair he took out the small candles that had been prepared, a full seventeen, though he was not legally seventeen.

Plugged in turn, Yukino and Ai-chan lit the candles, and then Ai-chan looked at the smiling Harano Shingo and said, "Hurry up and make a wish!" ”

"Okay."

The mood was not very excited, but some warmth kept flowing in his heart, and he put his hands on his chest and folded them, and slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, he blew out all the candles and a smile spread across his face.

"What kind of wish did Shingo make?" Ai Fukuhara asked with a little star in her eyes.

Although Kitagawa Yukino didn't look here in particular, her ears were pricked up to show her attention.

Stretched out his hand and tapped Aichan's little head a little dotingly, rubbed it twice, and said helplessly: "Wishing for this kind of thing, it won't work if you say it." ”

"But I want to know what to do~"

"I can't even want to know."

"Don't."

"It's about you, that's all I can say."

"Oh! Understand! ”

Ai Fukuhara was not dissatisfied when she heard the words you, as long as she was enough, but she happily saluted Shingo Harano, but she looked a little cute and cute.

In a happy mood, Shingo Harano beckoned the two girls to eat together, the dishes and utensils were already set up on the table, and the girls were all seated and waiting for him to come.

"I'm moving."

Tofu, greens, bean sprouts, kayako, miso soup, these are just some side dishes, and there are also tempura, several kinds of sashimi, and Wagyu beef bought at a specialty store, and even a small sukiyabe, which shows that the two of them have put a lot of effort into it.

After seeing it, Shigo Harano was even more moved in his heart, he went to work during the day and came back at night to warm up, this kind of day seems to be very... Happy.

"Shingo, I made the miso soup."

Just after eating a bite of green vegetables, Shingo Harano saw Ai Fukuhara looking at him with an expectant face.

Naturally knowing what Ai Fukuhara was looking forward to, Shingo Harano took the bowl of miso soup in front of him, and he observed it first without directly tasting it.

It looks like the usual miso soup, and it smells okay, and it seems that Ai Fukuhara is very talented as long as she is willing to do it.

Much relieved, Shingo Harano no longer hesitated and took a sip directly.

"How's Shingo? How do you feel? ”

This time, she put in a lot of effort, stayed up for a long time, and added a lot of supplements.

"Well... It's quite distinctive, isn't it? ”

It didn't taste so good that it was about to burst, but he felt that this bowl of soup was not as good as usual, just... After drinking it, it feels hotter and smells more medicine?

This bowl of miso soup is so fresh, fresh and salty, in short, it's quite distinctive in one bite...

"Well, I like it, Ai-chan really has the style of a chef."

Taking another sip, Shingo Harano smiled and touched Ai Fukuhara's head.

"Uh-huh! When I go to university, I won't join other clubs, and when the time comes, I'll join a cooking club and hone my skills. ”

"Okay, then I'm going to look forward to what you're going to cook."

Shigo Harano pinched Ai Fukuhara's face, but he was relieved.

Everyone's birthday has an important meaning because the first cry of your birth announces your arrival and sends out your energy vibrations. This energy is both your innate advantage and a constraint on your future development. Success is also it, and defeat is also it.

In the West, the date of birth is called the restriction number, and in the East, it is called the eight characters, both of which are different paths to the same end. If a person is not aware of his limitations, he can only interpret his life in terms of fate. If you know your limitations and work hard to break them, it is called destiny and destiny, and your fortune is changed by yourself.

For example, Sun Ce and Sun Jian during the Three Kingdoms were brave and adventurous warriors, which made them young and promising in troubled times, quickly stand out, and achieve a career.

However, only caring about personal courage and radicalism also brought them the scourge of killing. The courage of the horseman pursued the enemy and was killed by a cold arrow. If they can correct their too bold and arrogant character traits, history will be rewritten.

Therefore, the message that birthday brings to us is very important.

It can make us more aware of our strengths, strengths and weaknesses.

You can know everyone's birthday, mother's day of suffering, the advent of a life, which makes this day more sacred and meaningful.

Birthday, which gives too much meaning to life, is a good time to remember and remember.

From babies to adults to the elderly, everyone has their own birthday. In the previous generation, due to the poor conditions at that time, many elders did not celebrate their birthdays at all, and even forgot their birthdays.

With the development of the times, life is getting better and better, and the sense of ritual is becoming more and more important in everyone's heart, whether it is a birthday or other anniversaries, they will give themselves and their families an unforgettable memory on such a unique day!

Birthday is accompanied by the whole process of life, it witnesses a small cry to the world, but also records every mark under the passage of time, in fact, everyone has a special emotion for the birthday in their hearts, some people show strongly, some people hide in their hearts.

Nowadays, birthday is more than just a cake and a gift. It is more important to look back at the road you have walked, look at your own growth, and the love of the whole family for you, and never forget those good times and happy moments that you have not forgotten.....

In fact, Shingo Harano's understanding of birthdays is not so much a thing.,Birthdays,Anniversaries.,It's just a happy day.。

In the past, every birthday, my heart was full of fear and anxiety, and I didn't understand why death was a happy or celebratory thing, and I didn't understand why I had to set such a day to constantly remind myself that I was old again, so I didn't want to live it, I didn't invite relatives and friends, and I didn't do celebrations or special ceremonies, and I wanted to downplay it as much as possible.

Now that I slowly understand, even if you don't remind yourself, even if you dilute it, even if you don't call relatives and friends, even if you don't set a birthday, you will still grow old day by day, no matter if you can't get by, death is waiting there.

And it is precisely because aging is a terrible thing that this day needs the blessing of friends to ease anxiety, the company of relatives to resolve anxiety, and the use of gifts and banquets to build a Pavlovian conditioned reflex of happiness and aging in the brain.

He suddenly remembered that it was in "The Little Prince".

The fox said to the little prince, "It would be better if you could come at the same time every day." For example, if you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, from three o'clock, I start to feel very happy, and the closer the time gets, the happier I feel. After four o'clock, I will be restless, I have discovered the value of happiness, but if you come at any time, I don't know when to be ready to welcome your mood, the ceremony is still needed."

The fox said to the little prince, "It (the ritual) is to make a certain day different from other days, and to make a certain moment different from other moments."

Probably the birthday is what makes this day of the year different from other days. I will think of a certain day when I have the symbolism of the length of the year every year.

Isn't that great?

The three of them were about to eat the cake after eating, and Shingo Harano was still looking for a small plate, but he didn't expect Kitagawa Yukino to grab a piece of paste on his face.

Before he could react, Ai Fukuhara joined the battle group again.

He finally understood, so he rushed to the cake and grabbed two handfuls at once, and wanted to wipe it off the second girl's face.

It's a pity that it was dodged.

How willing he was, by the end of the day, the faces of the three of them were full of marks left by the cake cream.

They all laughed in unison.
