"Nalan Shi!" Ling Qingyu was stunned and read it again, the other party was as famous as he was, and he was very elegant.

But no matter so much, Nalan Bing was a little impatient, and said to Nalan Shi: "Brother, it's rare for you to come and give me a cake, you must stay with me for my birthday." ”

"Cake, birthday." Ling Qingyu stared at the birthday cake in Nalan Bing's hand, groaning and wondering what to think.

"There's still something going on in my school, so I'm not going to stay."

Although Nalan Shi looked at the other party lovingly, his refusal made Nalan Bing's expression darken, although he was holding the cake in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little weak.

"But I can't finish such a big cake by myself." Nalan Bing tried to keep the other party.

"Aren't you in the basketball club?" Nalan Shi asked softly.

"Hmm!" Nalan Bing nodded.

Seeing Ling Qingyu's eyes, Nalan Shi looked at Nalan Bing again and said, "Then you can invite your classmates and friends in the department to accompany you for your birthday, I think they will be very happy." ”

This is also where Nalan Bing has been in a dilemma these days. On the one hand, she didn't want to be alone for a precious birthday that only came once a year, but on the other hand, she hesitated to tell her seniors? I am not an important person in the team, and it takes a lot of time to celebrate my birthday.

Ignoring Nalan Bing, who was bowing his head and hesitating, Nalan Shi turned his head to look at Ling Qingyu, and said solemnly: "Today is Bingbing's birthday, but it's a pity that I have something to do and can't stay with her to spend the ......" Jaw Head groaned, he suddenly looked at the other party and said, "You and Bingbing are both on the basketball team, so they can be regarded as friends......

"Friends."

Ling Qingyu, who was listening to Nalan Shi's words in silence, and Nalan Bing, who was half-bowing their heads, couldn't help but look at each other, and the two looked at each other.

"Friends? Are you friends with him? Anyway, this guy probably hates himself. Nalan Bing was afraid that the other party would see through his mind, so he moved his beautiful eyes away.

Nalan Shi continued: "So...... I hope you can spend this birthday with her. ”

"Brother." Nalan Bing shouted.

Looking at Nalan Bing, Nalan Shi turned her head to look at Ling Qingyu with a hint of inquiry.

"She doesn't mind if I eat her cake, I don't care." Shrugging his shoulders, Ling Qingyu said, half of his words came out of the other party's love for his sister.

"Wow!" Nalan Bing glanced at the other party, "Why is this guy still so unpleasant!" ”

"Then I'm here to thank you." Nalan Shi's face was happy, and she turned to Nalan Bing and said, "Bingbing, then my brother will leave first." ”

"Brother!" Nalan Bing shouted relentlessly.

Under Nalan Bing's reluctant eyes, Nalan Shi waved her hand towards Nalan Bing and left, until the figure disappeared from the other party's field of vision.

Looking at the lost Nalan Bing, Ling Qingyu asked, "Today is your birthday?" ”

Lowering his eyes and raising a strange glance at Ling Qingyu, Nalan Bing replied with an "um".

"Why don't you tell the senior sisters?" This time, Ling Qingyu did not raise his head high, nor did he show disdain and arrogance when he spoke to the other party before.

Since she met Ling Qingyu, it was the first time that Nalan Bing had spoken so calmly with the other party, and when her heart calmed down, she realized that the appearance of this boy when he was serious about people was not so annoying.

"It's not a big deal, there's nothing to say." Muttering, Nalan Bing let go of his fragrant shoulders.

His eyes slowly dimmed, and Ling Qingyu's voice was a little low, as if he was saying to himself, "At least ......" he stopped talking, as if thinking about something, "There is also someone who cares about you, and will concentrate on preparing gifts for you." ”

Feeling a hint of strangeness, Nalan Bing looked at Ling Qingyu's face, and there seemed to be a faint sorrow lingering on that handsome face.

"What's wrong with him?" Nalan Bing was slightly alarmed by the unusual Ling Qingyu, and with a hint of concern, he asked, "Hey, Ling Qingyu, are you okay?" ”

At this moment, Nalan Bing didn't even believe that he would say something that seemed to care about the other party, and immediately lowered his head to cover his sudden intentions.

Snorting, Ling Qingyu came back from his trance, turned his head, hoping to cover up his abnormality just now by speaking, and said, "Didn't your brother say that let everyone accompany you for your birthday?" Just in time for a while, you can bring the cake with you. ”

"His attitude today...... How...... Changed? Looking at Ling Qingyu who was walking forward, Nalan Bing muttered in his heart.

Finding that the other party didn't seem to be moving, Ling Qingyu turned to look, but saw that Nalan Bing was still standing in place, looking at the other party strangely, and said, "Let's go!" What are you in a daze? ”

Hearing this kind of dragging cold words again, Nalan Bing reflexively showed the resistance of the language, and said, "Who is in a daze?" I ......," she raised her head slightly, "can't I walk slower?" ”

The atmosphere between the two of them, which had just eased slightly, had changed back to its original appearance again because of Ling Qingyu's words, but at least the relationship between the two was like a piece of ice melting, although the temperature was still cold, it was no longer cold and miserable.

"Ling Qingyu, why are you walking so fast?" Carrying the cake and staggering forward, Nalan Bing asked forward.

"It's you who are too slow." A faint voice came.

"Hey, I've got such a big cake in my hand, okay!"

"I'll get it for you."

"When were you so good?"

"Eat a few more cakes later, as compensation!"

“……”

……

"Your brother should be pretty good at basketball, right?" Approaching the Immortal Lake Arena, Ling Qingyu thought of Nalan Shi, and wanted to poke out some information from Nalan Bing's mouth without moving.

As soon as he mentioned his brother, Nalan Bing became interested and said proudly: "Of course, my brother is on the school basketball team!" ”

"School basketball team!" With a heartbeat, Ling Qingyu was startled, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow, "Fengling University, the school basketball team ......"

"He's from Windling University, right?" Ling Qingyu asked knowingly.

"How do you know?" After being stunned for a moment, Nalan Bing immediately thought that this must be what his brother and the other party said, so he nodded "um".

The two arrived at the indoor stadium, and at this time, Gao Tong, Jiang Feng and others also came in.

"Qingyu, what are you carrying?" Seeing the cake in Ling Qingyu's hand, Jiang Feng asked a few meters away before he could come over.

"Birthday cake." Ling Qingyu said.

"Birthday cake? Who is birthday today? Ji Gongyan asked.

As he spoke, Nalan Bing's bright eyes looked around.

"She's it!" Ling Qingyu's chin pointed at Nalan Bing.

"Bingbing?" Jiang Feng and the others were all stunned, and even Gao Tong couldn't help but look at Nalan Bing.

Nalan Bing pursed his lips and nodded, standing quietly in place, like a well-behaved kitten, but there was irrepressible joy on his face.

Soon, Lao K, Wu Zhenyang, Qin Qing and others also came over, and when they learned that today was Nalan Bing's birthday, everyone was also stunned, no matter how happy they were soon, the festive atmosphere of winning the game added a point.

Because it is not training, everyone is dressed quite casually, and there is a private atmosphere, after entering the quarterfinals, everyone's faces look relaxed, and Jiang Feng and Ji Gongyan, the two partners, are also talking happily, and the group will go towards the town in a mighty way.

Sheshan Town is in the territory of the university town, and it is even closer to Fuxian, at this time, when night falls, the college road leading to the town where everyone is located is also lit up with lights, and the night breeze is blowing slowly, picking up the roots of hair.

Lao K and Shen Qian walked ahead, and the two older people were mixed in a group of young people, and there was a bit of a generation gap in their speech, so they could only chat with each other.

"Bingbing, why don't you tell everyone about your birthday?" Qin Qing and Nalan Bing walked side by side.

"Yes, you can prepare a gift for you." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"No, I ......" Nalan Bing snorted, not knowing how to answer.

"Bingbing didn't tell everyone, but only told Qing Yu." Ji Gongyan gaged on the side.

Everyone looked at Ling Qingyu, who looked embarrassed and hurriedly argued, "What? I happened to meet her brother who brought her a birthday cake, so I helped bring it back by the way. ”

I didn't know much about it in private, and when I learned that Nalan Bing actually had an older brother, everyone else except Ling Qingyu was stunned.

Carrying a large cake, Nalan Bing lowered his head, trying to hide the strangeness in his expression.

"Everyone can have a cake to eat today, and there are no gifts, so why do you have to contribute?" Jiang Feng helped take the cake in Nalan Bing's hand, his eyes flashed and he looked at Ling Qingyu, and said, "Qingyu, since you also helped people get it just now, now you can help people to the end, and take the cake all the way to the town." ”

Stunned, Ling Qingyu inadvertently looked at Nalan Bing's beautiful eyes, and looked at the other party's eyes away in an instant, but he didn't dare to look directly at himself.

Rolling his eyes a few times, Ling Qingyu remembered what he had promised Lu Xiaojie, so he shook his head and took it silently.

"Forget it, help her get it, anyway, I have to help Xiaojie ask her for a phone."

Listening to the energetic young people behind him, Lao K and Shen Qian couldn't help but turn their heads to look, the latter sighed that it was good to be young, and the former was very happy to see that everyone was gradually familiar with the harmonious atmosphere over time.

Along the way, Nalan Bing's heart lake was faint with ripples, the boy who always had nothing to say to himself in the past, actually had a short time with him, even when he got along with Le, remembering the scene just now, she was vaguely grateful to the other party, this inexplicable faint thought has been haunting Nalan Bing's heart like a mist, until she arrived in the town.

Joyful barbecue, a surrounding open space surrounded by greenery is filled with dozens of tables, and there are crowds of people sitting at each table, staggered with ideas, and laughter from time to time.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you......"

Listening to everyone's uneven rhythm, but sincere singing from the heart, Ling Qingyu looked at Nalan Bing blankly like the happiest princess in a fairy tale, receiving the most sincere blessings, and he sang along with it, but his thoughts drifted to somewhere......

Happy birthday to this one, so familiar, so strange......

After an exhilarating blowing of birthday candles, Nalan Bing closed his beautiful eyes with long eyelashes under the glow of the candlelight and the starry sky, and quietly made a wish in his heart.

"I want the people I love, and the people who love me...... They can be happy, healthy, and make their wishes come true. ”

After making this most simple wish, in everyone's expectations and chaotic voices, Nalan Bing cut the cake neatly, but did not forget the boy who helped him carry the cake and helped him with a little enthusiasm, although the other party had no intention on his face, but Nalan Bing did not forget Ling Qingyu's words that she said inadvertently before, when cutting the cake, she divided the other cakes into equal sizes, only three were slightly larger.

Ling Qingyu watched Nalan Bing suddenly become a well-informed girl, and first respectfully handed the cake to Lao K and Shen Qian, and then a circle passed, and his gaze gradually shifted to the cake.

This birthday cake is large and covered with black chocolate tassels, as well as sweet flavors such as red dates and red beans to garnish, giving people a feeling of appetite and wanting to eat it in one bite.

On Ling Qingyu's birthday, family conditions permitted, and he did not eat cake less than once, but every time he ate cake, it was happiness for him, but it was also sadness......

Birthday cake, if you are so pitiful that you can only buy it for yourself, cut it for yourself, and talk about it for comfort, in addition to feeling the sweetness of the cake, what is left?

However, under that sweetness, the thoughts evoked by looking at the cake will always produce a trace of bitterness, destroying the previous sweetness.

Seeing that Ling Qingyu was staring at the birthday cake like a greedy little boy at the moment, Nalan Bing couldn't help but sneer in his heart and thought, "So he will do the same?" ”

"Hey." It seemed that he shouted impolitely, but Nalan Bing's face did not show it, when he faced Ling Qingyu in the past, he had a stiff face, and then handed the cake to the other party.

"Bingbing, why do you feel that the cake you gave to Qingyu is bigger than the one you gave us?" Ji Gongyan shouted loudly.

"Where...... How can there be! Dengshi's face was red, Nalan Bing quickly sat down and said, "It's you who are short-sighted." ”

She threw out a flustered argument without thinking, and quickly lowered her head, picked up a fork and ate the cake to hide her slightly hot pink cheeks.

"Alright, Gongyan, don't be verbose. No matter how verbose it is, I'll snatch your cake! ”

Jiang Feng hurriedly stopped Ji Gongyan, a troubled star, then glanced at Ling Qingyu and Nalan Bing, and then looked at Qin Qing.

"It seems that the relationship between Qingyu and Bingbing doesn't have to worry about me much." Finding that the relationship between the two seemed to have eased a bit, Qin Qing's heart was also a little more stable, and she also looked over when she noticed Jiang Feng's gaze.

At this moment, each other's eyes are the bridge of communication.

Jiang Feng is very happy that in his last year, he has met new people, can make history with the team, and has more hope of touching the championship. But what makes him even happier is that in the past three years, he has experienced bits and pieces with the girl in his eyes......

If it is said that she joined the basketball club because of interest, then for Qin Qing now, basketball has long been one of the most important things in her life, because of it, she met the boy in front of her, because of it, she has changed from a young girl who didn't know anything when she first came to Fuxian to a person who knows how to care about others and plan things.

Perhaps, for the two of them, basketball has long gone beyond sports and become a bridge connecting each other.

While the rest of the people were chatting, Ling Qingyu's mind was completely on the fan-shaped cake in front of him, and after staring at it for a long time, he finally ...... Silently, he scooped up the small pieces with his fork and put them in his mouth......

Mellow, silky, sweet, heart-warming......

A piece of cake is all Ling Qingyu's feelings at this moment.
