After lunch, Li Chen left the cafeteria first, and on the way back to the classroom, she was thinking about how there could be such a coincidence, and when she arrived at the classroom, she saw Xinyue lying on the table and fell asleep, so she returned to her place and sat down, taking advantage of the free time of the few minutes before class to recall everything at noon. suddenly thought that Li Zhenjia said to herself that she had something to talk about, and it wouldn't be Jiang Li's business, so she didn't bother to ask if it was important, Li Zhenjia would say it, so she waited until class.

"Okay, everyone has seen the school rankings on the square." The history teacher dragged his hoarse voice and shouted to the students below.

"See—"

"You can see where you are ranked, this time our class exam is very unsatisfactory, I don't know if the holiday made you slack off or what's going on, none of the top five in our class entered, Xu Jingjing's usually stable grades have also retreated to the back of the fifth, and our first place this time Jiang Li's family has just been transferred to the first place in our school, you can imagine what level he is, he is the class next to us, it's okay, don't just think about playing more and learning from others, how to learn." Speaking of this, Xin Yue's eyes widened at Li Chen, and Li Chen also responded with a smile.

The teacher said for about ten minutes, and Li Chen chose not to hear the back and forth words, and after the afternoon class, the head teacher announced that the evening self-study was normal from today, and everyone happily accepted this fact in a wail, and after the complaint, Li Chen and Xinyue rushed to the cafeteria to grab dinner.

"Did you hear that, just now the old man said that it was Jiang Li from the next class, who was the first place." Xinyue patted Li Chen's shoulder excitedly.

"yes, that's pretty good." Li Chen nodded.

"Cow, the war between handsome guys and handsome guys."

"Now it's a war between the two of us and one canteen, hurry up and grab a place to eat." Li Chen dragged the Xinyueman cafeteria to find a seat, found a place to eat, and like an established pattern, everyone quickly entered the state of evening self-study until the class bell rang again.

The students rushed out of the school gate and walked towards the same platform, it was dark at nine o'clock, the weather had just entered spring, the wind was still cool at night, everyone clenched their cuffs and waited for the bus to come. Li Chen seemed to be looking at something aimlessly, and she didn't wait for the car with peace of mind until Jiang Li's figure appeared. After getting on the car, Li Chen occupied a position, the car was very warm, and she fell asleep in the swaying carriage.

"Li Chen."

"Jiang Li?" Li Chen opened his eyes vaguely

"Well, let's get off the train when we get to the station." Jiang Li patted her shoulder, stood up and walked towards the car door, Li Chen also stood up, got out of the car, the wind was even cooler, and Li Chen was completely sobered up, and she followed Jiang Li when she was about to reach the gate of the community, and the boy in front of him turned around.

"I'm sorry, I should have waited for you." Jiang Li scratched his head and smiled at Li Chen

"Huh? Ah, it's okay, it's okay. ”

"Let's go, let's go." Li Chen nodded, Jiang Li's steps were a little slower than usual along the way, and Li Chen didn't take out his mobile phone to light it, and if there were people around her, she would be much bolder. The road from the gate to the door of Jiang Li's house was only a few minutes away, but Jiang Li had no intention of stopping.

"You've arrived." Li Chen stopped and pointed to the unit card.

"Well, I know I'll get you downstairs, it's pretty dark."

"No, I can do it alone, besides, ......"

"Let's go, if you are a good friend of Li Zhenjia, you should be a friend who helps your friend." Jiang Li motioned for Li Chen to move forward.

Walking to the bright street lamp, Li Chen looked at herself and Jiang Li's shadow and smiled slightly, she felt that she was very happy, and she felt inexplicable when she was happy, just thinking of this, she walked downstairs to her house Li Chen stopped.

"It's here, thank you, Jiang Li." Li Chen raised his head and smiled at Jiang Li.

"It's okay, are the lights in this neighborhood always like this?"

"It's not always, but no one has come to fix it for a long time."

"Then you take this." Jiang Li took out a small flashlight from his pocket and handed it to Li Chen, "This is a small flashlight, you can usually use it for lighting when you walk by yourself." ”

Li Chen was stunned and didn't answer.

"Take it, my mother asked me to take it and said it was dark at night, and I was not afraid of the dark as a boy I was as safe as a boy, so you can take it." Jiang Li handed the flashlight to Li Chen again.

"Thank you then." Li Chen took it.

"You're welcome, go upstairs, I'm leaving too." Li Chen nodded, waved his hand at Jiang Li again, turned his head and walked upstairs.

The lights in the corridor were still the same as always, Li Chen turned on the flashlight, and her steps were faster when the corridor lit up.

Jiang Li got home and put down his schoolbag and took out the hot milk from the microwave, and after taking a sip, he still pouted, and he still hated pure milk as always, so he put the milk back in its place. It was already past ten o'clock after taking a shower, and he returned to the room lightly, and glanced at the light mobile phone with Li Zhenjia's message on it.

"Don't forget to take with you what I dragged you to buy."

Jiang Li looked at the pink packaging next to the table.

"Don't worry, you won't be so girly."

"What do you think, it's for Li Chen, tomorrow it's her birthday." Jiang Li put down his phone and walked to the side of the gift, thought for a while, Li Chen's appearance appeared in his mind, and then linked Li Chen with the little pill in the box, and grinned again, but he felt a bit like when he was very small, looking up at himself with big eyes. He put the gift next to his school bag, read it for a while, and fell asleep when he was sleepy.

"Cheng Cheng, it's time to get up." Li Chen rubbed his eyes when he heard the voice, picked up the mobile phone next to the pillow, and closed his eyes to sleep for a while before the alarm went off at 5:40.

"Cheng Cheng, get up quickly, it's your birthday today, my mother made noodles and ate them at home before going to school."

"Well, yes."

"Mom, I'll leave first when I'm done with the noodles."

"Come home early from school."

"Got it."

When he was about to arrive at the station, Jiang Li saw Li Chen waiting for the train.

"Good morning." Jiang Li walked up to Li Chen.

"Good morning."

"Happy birthday."

"How do you know?"

"I heard what Li Zhenjia said, but I didn't have time to prepare a birthday gift as soon as I knew. ’

"It's okay."

"Then let's get in the car." Jiang Li pointed to the car that was about to arrive at the station.

After getting in the car, Li Chen stood by the window and looked at the flowers outside, spring has arrived, the flowers are blooming, these poetic thoughts are in her mind, together with Jiang Li's happy birthday, she should be very happy today. After arriving at the station, there were a lot of people, and Li Chen and Jiang Li were separated, and they happened to meet Li Zhenjia at the school gate.

"Li Chen."

"Huh." Li Chen waved his hand at Li Zhenjia.

"What a coincidence."

''Is Jiang Li on a bus with you?'' ‘’

''yes, it should be in the back.'' ‘’

"Then you wait a minute, don't go yet."

''What's wrong?'' Li Chen looked at Li Zhenjia and waved his hand towards Jiang Li in the distance.

Jiang Li walked across the road to them, took out the pink box from his bag, and handed it to Li Zhenjia.

"Give, birthday present." Li Zhenjia changed hands to Li Chen.

"Wow, thanks." After Li Chen took it, he raised his eyebrows at Li Zhenjia and entered the school with them.

After arriving at the class, Li Chen also received a gift from Xinyue, she usually doesn't like to make friends, and she remembers that there are only two people who give gifts on her birthday, and her gifts are all collected. After the morning class, she didn't rush to eat, and after a morning of curiosity, she opened Li Zhenjia's gift, which was her favorite small ball-like model and a cup of the same series.

''It's really my good friend''' Li Chen muttered happily.

When she wanted to put it in the box, she saw a card pressed underneath, and picked it up with the words "Happy birthday, peace and joy." ’’

''Li Zhenjia?'' But she felt that this was not what Li Zhenjia could say, and it was not like his handwriting, so she put the card back in its place and rewrapped the gift and went to the cafeteria with Xinyue to eat.
