In the afternoon, when it was time, Duan Zilian and Luo Xinyan came out of the room and immediately rushed to school.

Back at school, Duan Zilian entered the classroom, and saw that there were only a few people in the classroom, and now when there were more than ten minutes before class, the rest of the students were rushing over from the dormitory one after another.

When he walked to his place, he saw two bags on the table, and when he opened it, one of the bags contained a small and delicate chocolate fruit cake, and in the other bag, a pair of headphones and a bracelet.

In addition, through the transparent box, you can see that on this chocolate fruit cake, the words "Happy Birthday" are also written in cream.

Thinking of chatting with Cui Kairui this morning, Duan Zi couldn't help but smile, and he didn't have to think about it to know that Cui Kairui really asked for leave to go outside at noon, not only bought him a new earphone, but also bought this chocolate fruit cake.

"Really, you just need to buy headphones, but you actually bought this cake......" Duan Zi shook his head and complained, but the smile on his face couldn't be contained.

Cui Kairui not only bought headphones, but also bought such a cake, which made Duan Zilian very moved.

However, in addition to being moved, he was still a little confused.

It stands to reason that Cui Kairui should have just bought this cake and this pair of headphones, so what's going on with this bracelet?

Picking up the bracelet, Duan Zilian took a look, it was a steel bracelet, the whole was black, and it looked good.

Just, what's going on with this bracelet? All I said was a new pair of headphones.

Could it be a gift from someone else?

But this bracelet is put together with the headphones, or when Kerry was buying a cake, the store gave such a gift, so Kerry gave it to me together?

Shaking his head, not thinking about it so much, Duan Zilian put away the bracelet first, and then put the headphones in the backpack, as for the cake, it was wrapped in a bag, carefully put it away, and waited until the afternoon when school was over, and then took the cake home to eat.

A few minutes later, Cui Kairui, the class leader and several boys came to the classroom from the dormitory.

"Pity, you're here so early." As soon as he sat down, Cui Kairui said hello.

Duan Zi smiled and nodded: "It's okay, it's only been a few minutes since I came." By the way, thank you for the gift. ”

"Hehe, it's nothing, everything adds up, it's less than a hundred dollars. Pity, I not only gave you a headphone, but also bought you a cake, how about it, are you very touched now? Cui Kairui said with a grin.

"Yes, it's very touching, it deserves to be my good son, and I am very pleased with your father." Duan Zilian was indeed very moved, but this did not prevent him from joking with Cui Kairui.

After being speechless for a while, Cui Kairui changed the topic: "...... By the way, what about that cake, don't you eat it yet? There's still a little time, and at your pace, you should be able to finish it, right? ”

"It's inside the table, I'm going to take it home and eat it." patted his desk, and Duan Zilian replied.

"Whatever you want." Cui Kairui waved his hand indifferently.

"By the way, what's going on with this bracelet?" Duan Zilian took out the black steel bracelet.

"Oh, this, when I went outside to buy you a cake and headphones, I still had some change left, and then I bought this bracelet and gave it to you together, you can wear it." Cui Kairui said quickly.

"That's right, thanks." Figuring out the origin of this bracelet, Duan Zilian put the bracelet on the wrist of his right hand.

However, seeing that Duan Zilian was not suspicious and put on the bracelet, Cui Kairui breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately showed a somewhat meaningful smile.

After a few more minutes, Xu Ying, Zhou Lan and a few girls came to the classroom from the dormitory.

Entering the classroom, she deliberately came to Duan Zilian's face.

"Pity, the phone sent a reminder, saying that today is your birthday, happy birthday."

"Well, thank you." Duan Zilian nodded in response, not suspicious, after all, he and Xu Ying have added friends, then, on his birthday today, Xu Ying's mobile phone will automatically send a prompt.

Then, Xu Ying said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't go outside now, and I can't buy you any decent gifts at school, why don't I make it up for you at the weekend?" ”

"It's okay, a gift or something, I really don't need it." Duan Zi smiled and waved his hand, so that Xu Ying didn't have to buy a gift for herself.

Noticing the black steel bracelet on Duan Zilian's right wrist, Xu Ying smiled slightly, but the smile was a little meaningful.

"Since you've said so, well."

After speaking, Xu Ying left and returned to her place to sit.

At the same time, she pulled up the sleeve of her left hand, and it could be seen that on her fair wrist, she was wearing a steel bracelet.

Moreover, the style and style of this bracelet are exactly the same as Duan Zilian's, the only difference is the color, Xu Ying's is white, and Duan Zilian's is black.

It is not difficult to see that this is a couple bracelet.

Thinking that she and Duan Zilian were both wearing such a couple bracelet, Xu Ying smiled and couldn't help touching the bracelet on her hand.

……

The class is over, and it's time for the end of the afternoon school.

Carrying a backpack and holding a cake, Duan Zilian rode his bicycle home, buying groceries on the way back.

Considering that today was a direct birthday, he thought about it, so he bought a lot of vegetables, and a large bottle of Coke, and planned to eat something hearty tonight, so he celebrated it in this simple way.

When he got home, he saw that Luo Xinyan had come back and was washing rice and cooking rice in the kitchen.

"Why did you cook your own rice today?" Somewhat surprised, Duan Zipian couldn't help but ask, and put the vegetables he bought back on the dining table.

"I'm hungry, you're coming back so slowly." Luo Xinyan glanced at Duan Zilian coldly, and let out a complaint with an expressionless face.

"Uh......" The joke scratched his head pitifully.

In fact, he wanted to say that he could come back sooner, but he still had to go grocery shopping, so he was delayed for a long time.

However, he didn't bother to explain, put everything in his hand on the dining table, and then went back to his room and put his backpack away.

Put the soaked rice into the rice cooker, Luo Xinyan pressed the button of the rice cooker, and let the rice cooker start to work to cook rice.

Then, she approached the dining table to see what Duan Zilian had bought tonight, and when she came back, she saw the cake on the table together.

"Huh? What does he buy a cake for when he comes back? Seeing this cake, Luo Xinyan was stunned for a moment.

"Cake?" Hearing this, Luo Lingling, who was sitting on the sofa, also made a puzzled sound.

"Well, it's a chocolate fruitcake, but it's smaller, and it has the words Happy Birthday on it." Through the transparent box, Luo Xinyan looked at the cake brought back by Duan Zilian.

"So, it's his birthday?" Luo Lingling then asked, because her eyes couldn't see things, she didn't care about the passage of time at all, and she didn't even know what day it was.

"Hmm...... It seems to be......" Since Duan Zilian rarely celebrates birthdays, and Luo Xinyan doesn't care much, she thought about it for a while, and her tone was a little uncertain.

Luo Lingling was suddenly a little speechless: "...... Sister, we've lived together for so long, don't you even know when his birthday is? ”

"Hush."

Luo Xinyan pursed her lips disdainfully: "What do I care about his birthday?" It's none of my business anyway. ”

No longer speaking, Luo Lingling shrugged.

After a while, Duan Zilian put her things away and came out of the room.

Hearing the footsteps, Luo Lingling asked with some curiosity: "There is a cake on the table, today is your birthday?" ”

Hearing this, Duan Zilian nodded: "Hmm." ”

"No wonder you bought so many dishes tonight and bought a cake." Luo Xinyan said coldly.

"I didn't buy the cake, a good friend in the class bought it for me. I didn't want to have a birthday party, it would be too much trouble, so I just planned to have a hearty meal tonight. The cake is a little smaller, but it should be enough for the three of us, so let's save it until after dinner. ”

Duan Zilian said as she put the coke she bought back into the refrigerator and moved it.

"Oh, happy birthday." It seemed that because there was cake to eat, Luo Lingling seemed a little happy.

"Happy birthday, but no presents." Luo Xinyan also followed along, but compared to Luo Lingling, her tone sounded cold.

Of course, Duan Zilian didn't care: "Thank you, I don't need a gift or anything, I didn't want any gifts anyway." ”

After that, he immediately went to the kitchen to prepare today's dinner.

Because he bought a little more food, he kept busy for a long time, and when it was completely dark, he made a more hearty dinner.

Drinking cold cola and eating dishes that tasted good, Duan Zilian felt that it was good to celebrate his birthday like this, it was not so complicated, it was just a simple meal, so it was very satisfying.

After dinner, Duan Zilian didn't put birthday candles on the cake, and Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling didn't sing him a birthday song, he directly omitted these processes and divided the cake into three parts, one for each person.

"Happy birthday." Looking at the cake in front of him, Duan Zilian smiled slightly, and said softly, which can be regarded as a blessing to himself.

Today, he is eighteen years old, and he has reached the age of adulthood.

Although he is about to become an adult, to be honest, he has no plans for the future for the time being, and he only hopes to play normally in the college entrance examination and be able to be admitted to the city's National University of China together with Luo Xinyan.

If he thinks about the big picture, he hopes that in the future battles, at least he will ensure that he will not die.

After all, there is no one in this world who can carry the power of Light except him, and he is, so to speak, the only hope.

If he had died in battle, there would have been no one to stop the revival and spread of darkness, and by that time, the world might have ended.
