The gap between reality and ideal is too big, and before she came, she took into account that the conditions did not allow it, so she retreated to prepare a small cake, but the small cake was gone.

Compared with the eight-layer cake on the night of her birthday, I feel more and more that Ji Lingchuan's birthday is miserable.

Seeing her expression, Ji Lingchuan hurriedly took it from her hand and held it in the palm of his hand: "How could it be gone, isn't this a birthday cake, although it is not very good-looking, it must be delicious." ”

Gu Mian looked at the miserable cake, she chose a famous cake shop, and the taste was naturally not bad.

"Do you want to eat?" She asked.

"Of course I'll eat what was given to me."

Ji Lingchuan put the cake on the bedside table, tore open the small bow on the box, and very carefully pinched the edge of the box to take it from the bottom up.

"Wait, I remember there were candles in there." Gu Mian rummaged through the paper bag, and she deliberately asked for a birthday candle from the store, explaining that there were only two numbers, 2 and 4.

She took out two pink candles and put them on the cake, Ji Lingchuan took out a lighter from the drawer and lit it, and turned off the lights in the room by the way.

Gu Mian looked at the beating candlelight, and the bad mood caused by the damage to the cake was instantly cured, and urged: "Ah Chuan, make a wish." ”

In the candlelight, the little girl knelt on the bed, her hands on her chin, and her beautiful eyes were full of joy, as if helping him celebrate his birthday was a special joy.

In fact, Ji Lingchuan himself can't remember the last time he made a wish on a birthday cake, five years old? Or six? He only remembers not having a good birthday since he was eight years old.

This kind of small candle burned very quickly, Gu Mian watched them decrease inch by inch, and was a little anxious: "Hurry up, hurry up, make a wish to the candle of the birthday cake and it will come true in the coming year." ”

Ji Lingchuan obediently closed his eyes, clasped his hands together as he did on TV, and silently made a wish in his heart.

He is not greedy and only wants his little girl to be happy.

Gu Mian tilted his head to look at him, only to see that the man's face was shrouded in warm candlelight, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his expression was very reverent, as if he was praying.

Her hand was itching, and she wanted to poke his long eyelashes, but before his fingertips could touch it, he brushed the ground and opened his eyes, Gu Mian quickly withdrew his hand and behaved: "Blow out the candle." ”

Ji Lingchuan leaned over and blew out the candle as he said, his eyes were still sincere, as if he had completed the last step, and his wish would really come true.

The lights in the room came back on, and Gu Mian took out a small spoon and handed it to the birthday star: "Okay, you can enjoy your birthday cake now." ”

Ji Lingchuan scooped up a spoonful, he didn't eat it, but he brought it to her mouth, and his eyes flashed with a moving light: "Thank you for the surprise you prepared for me, for me, your arrival is the best birthday gift." ”

It's also one of the happiest birthdays I've ever had.

Gu Mian took the first bite of the cake, licked his lips and said with a smile, "It's delicious." ”

Ji Lingchuan tasted it, and sure enough, it didn't look good, but it tasted excellent, nodded and evaluated seriously; "Well, it's delicious."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Like Gu Mian's birthday night, a small cake was eaten by you and me.

Ji Lingchuan got up and packed the box and threw it into the trash, and was about to wash up when his mobile phone rang.

He saw the caller ID, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

Who called, and why was he so happy? Gu Mian was a little puzzled, but he picked up the phone, looked at her with his eyes, and said to the person on the phone, "Dad, haven't slept so late?" ”

It's Ji Lingchuan's father!

Gu Mian sat on the bed, put his hands on his knees, like a primary school student listening carefully in class, pricking up his ears to listen to the conversation between Ji Lingchuan and his father.

Ji Lingchuan didn't avoid her, and even got closer to her to let her hear more clearly.

On the other end of the phone, Ji's father said with a smile: "I didn't sleep, I was watching TV, did you get off work?" ”

Ji Lingchuan explained to him that in fact, celebrities are also one of many professions, just like going to work, there will be working hours, the difference is that the working hours are not fixed.

Ji's father remembered this and always regarded "starting and finishing work" as "going to work and getting off work".

The last time Ji Lingchuan called him was a week ago, saying that he had joined a new crew, and he was very busy with work, and he often needed to work overtime until late, so he waited while watching TV, and deliberately delayed calling him until now.

Ji Lingchuan said: "I didn't work overtime tonight, I got off work a long time ago." ”

"I don't have anything else to do, I just want to say happy birthday to you."

"Thank you, Dad."

"And what did you eat for your birthday? Is there a longevity noodle? What about boiled eggs? Oh no, people in the city don't like to eat these, and there should always be a birthday cake. ”

The conversation between father and son Gu Mian was a little difficult to hear, Ji Lingchuan spoke Mandarin mixed with hometown dialect, and what Ji's father said was completely her hometown dialect that she couldn't understand. After holding on for a minute, she gave up and collapsed on the bed looking somewhere in a daze.

Ji Lingchuan noticed her movements and couldn't help but smile, and said: "At a dinner party with colleagues from the crew in the evening, the chef made a table of good dishes, and I didn't eat longevity noodles, but I ate delicious cakes." ”

Father Ji was finally relieved when he heard this, he was worried that his son would be busy and even forget his birthday.

"It's rare not to work overtime, so I won't delay your time, and have a good rest." Father Ji was about to hang up the phone, thinking of something and chattering, "Also, a person pays attention to his body outside, stays up less late and supplements more nutrition, every time I see you on TV, you are as thin as a matchstick, can you hold your daughter-in-law?" ”

Ji Lingchuan was suddenly happy, and looked at Gu Mian from head to toe: "You can hold it." ”

Father Ji didn't know why he laughed out loud, and when he thought about it, he didn't say anything funny: "Then let's talk about it here today, I'll hang up." ”

Ji Lingchuan: "Well, you have to take care of yourself at home, don't be reluctant to spend money." If you feel unwell, you must call me as soon as possible, and if no one answers, call the number I saved for you, which is my agent's number. ”

"I remember it all."

After hanging up the phone, Ji's father chattered to the old man, and every time he called, he had to emphasize this, he had a leg injury and not a brain injury, so he couldn't remember it.

said this, but there was a smile on his lips, and his heart also felt ironed.

Ji Lingchuan put his mobile phone on the bedside table, looked at the girl on the bed condescendingly, and thinking of his father's words, he suddenly hugged her waist with one hand and picked her up.

Gu Mian was startled, and heard him say, "Dad said that I was too thin, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to hold my daughter-in-law, so I needed to verify it." ”

Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law?

Whether it was because the gesture was congesting her brain or because of the overly intimate title, she felt her cheeks heat up rapidly.

She gasped and patted him on the back, "Let me go." ”

Does this need to be verified now? Obviously he had hugged her many times before, and he had hugged her once just before eating the cake.

Ji Lingchuan put Gu Mian down, the only feeling was that she was really thin, he looked at the girl with a flushed face, and said seriously: "Eat more in the future, you are too thin." ”

Then, he picked up his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a bath, leaving Gu Mian alone to lose his mind for the sound of "daughter-in-law".

He...... How could he say it so naturally.

Gu Mian turned over and covered her chest with her hands, it was not her illusion, her heartbeat was indeed a little rapid, as if she was beating a drum.

She couldn't help but think, did Ji Lingchuan and her father usually call her that? He already took her for his wife?

Just thinking about it, the heat on her cheeks was about to rise again.

It's terrible, she is only eighteen years old, and she is still ignorant about falling in love, and she has not thought about getting married for the time being. She firmly believes that she will be with Ji Lingchuan forever, but she always feels that there is still a long time before she gets married.

Gu Mian thought about it, maybe it was because she was still in school, she was only a freshman now, and it would take more than three years to finish college, maybe she would want to take the graduate school entrance examination or a doctorate in the future.

As her thoughts drifted away, she thought that there seemed to be an example of getting married first and then going to school......

Stop, stop, Gu Mian, you want to go there!

Gu Mian changed his position and lay on the bed, his face sucked into the pillow, embarrassed by his own thoughts. She must have been influenced by Ji Lingchuan, yes, she must have been influenced by him, who let him call him indiscriminately.

Gu Mian felt that he was about to suffocate himself, so he changed back to his original side lying position, who knew that he was facing Ji Lingchuan's handsome face.

He came out of the bathroom at some point, noticed Gu Mian's strange appearance, squatted on the side of the bed and touched her cheek: "Isn't it a little hot?" In fact, this quilt is a winter quilt, and it should have been changed to a spring and autumn quilt a long time ago, I forgot. ”

Gu Mian replied indiscriminately, using the reason he gave to cover up his weakness: "It's a little hot." ”

"Do you want to change it now?" Ji Lingchuan said, "The quilt is in the wardrobe, just put on the quilt." ”

"No, it's not very hot."

In the next second, Gu Mian wanted to retract her words, and when Ji Lingchuan lay beside her, she felt a heat source continuously releasing heat, and such a strong sense of existence could not be ignored.

She subconsciously held her breath and tried her best to be calm, this was not the first time she had slept in the same bed with Ji Lingchuan, in fact, in addition to holding her, he behaved very gentlemanly and did not have any overstepping the rules.

As soon as the thought flashed, Ji Lingchuan hugged her, and Gu Mian's back only stiffened for a moment before he relaxed and buried himself softly in his arms.

His chin was against her forehead, because of the beard, which was tickling on the skin.

Gu Mian couldn't help but touch his chin, Ji Lingchuan was a little uncomfortable, he tilted his head and didn't let her touch it, and there was a little more indescribable emotion in his eyes.

He said in an awkward tone: "Isn't it not as good as before?" ”

He didn't have to listen to her to know it was true. The movie needs a sloppy criminal image, straw-like messy hair and an unkempt beard, and the character image is basically half completed.

Gu Mian tilted his head back and saw his appearance clearly: "No, he is still very handsome." ”

Ji Lingchuan had an expression of "I don't believe it", and decided in her heart that she said this to make him happy. Even Zhao Chengdu teased him, saying that he could directly squat at Gu Bian and ask for food with a broken bowl.

Gu Mian sincerely suggested: "You can take a selfie and post it on Weibo to ask the fans if this image is good." ”
