Outside the house came a chirping of birds, a long, high-pitched sound echoing at the top of the hill, and the rain reined in its irritability, and the rain began to become fluttering, sparse and soft, showing its gentle side at midnight.

After the music and clocks in the house stopped, there was only the sound of flames burning in the fireplace, and the sound of wood being burned and cracking was crisp, which relieved Xu Xuanyue, who was in shock.

"Today...... Ming, oh no, it's today, it's your birthday, huh? Xu Xuanyue said.

Ke Yuhan got up and turned off the extra lights, leaving only a small lamp in front of the fireplace table, which glowed faintly red. He looked at the clock repeatedly as if he were waiting for this moment, he lay on his back on the sofa, stretched lazily, like a sleepy torrent suddenly breaking through the embankment and coming at him, he took off his glasses, put the quilt on himself, and intended to sleep.

"Hey, don't sleep yet." Xu Xuanyue ran over in small steps and squatted in front of him: "Today...... It seems to be the fifteenth, your birthday! I don't even know, happy birthday! ”

"Well, thank you. It's not early, it's time to sleep. Ke Yuhan leaned over to the side.

"Oh my God, it's your birthday, so what are you going to do?" Xu Xuanyue jumped back on her sofa, crossed her legs and began to imagine saying, "Go out for dinner first!" And then...... Going to the playground? But you don't really like that kind of place, do you want to go to the movies? By the way, who's going with you? It's a bit miserable to live alone, hey! Or ......"

"I'm going to watch from the store." Ke Yuhan turned his back to Xu Xuanyue and said this.

Xu Xuanyue was stunned: "Are you going to have a party in the store?" ”

"Nope." Ke Yuhan vetoed: "I plan to spend this day as usual, receiving customers as usual, making latte art as usual, and cashiering as usual." ”

"It's your birthday!"

Xu Xuanyue climbed over, because the two sofas were placed vertically, so if Xu Xuanyue stretched her neck, she could just see the side face of Ke Yuhan facing the sofa chair, she reached out and nodded his face, soft and slippery, the state of this skin was even better than her own. This made her a little unconvinced, but she used countless skin care products!

"So what." Ke Yuhan's voice was low, as if half of his consciousness had fallen into a dream. "If humans ...... If the concept of year hadn't been invented, birthdays wouldn't have any meaning, would they? ”

"How can you say that? According to this logic, if humans hadn't invented houses, would they have to live in caves all the time? If there is no invention bed, should it lie on the stone? ”

Ke Yuhan opened her eyes and looked at Xu Xuanyue, and she returned with a big smile. He didn't speak, turned his head again, and went back to sleep.

Xu Xuanyue saw his state of ignoring him, and frowned to express her displeasure: "Cut, boring, stupid melon is stupid melon." ”

She burrowed back into her bed, deliberately tumbling loudly, and in irritation stretched out her arm and slapped it on the cover. Looking up at the ceiling, I realized that it was painted with a starry sky pattern.

Counting the stars for a while in this way, she was dazzled, yawned deeply, and turned her head to see Ke Yuhan motionless, as if she was asleep. Xu Xuanyue sighed, took off the contact lens and put it in the box, then turned off the small lamp on the table, and the room was suddenly engulfed in blue light, which was the bright and cold moonlight from the window. It turned out that the fire in the fireplace had been extinguished, and only a faint red light cracked in a messy black mass of debris.

The thunderous rainy night seemed to be over, there was no fierce rain outside the house, only raindrops could be heard falling from the eaves, and the sound was terrifyingly small, Xu Xuanyue's ears couldn't even hear Ke Yuhan's breathing, as if he was sleeping in a quiet valley, no wind and no sound, and the silence made people tremble.

Xu Xuanyue tried her best to empty her brain and wanted to fall asleep quickly, but the stronger this thought, the more bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods popped up in her mind, and in a daze, she seemed to hear many people shouting her name, Su Xin, Xia Yuan, Xun Ran, Li Yang, Zhou Junlan, every time she heard a timbre, the faces of those people began to appear in front of her eyes, until they dissipated in the air like bubbles after gathering together, leaving no trace.

In the same disturbing voice shouting at herself, Xu Xuanyue clearly heard another voice.

"There's no need to do anything else."

Xu Xuanyue opened her eyes suddenly, she should have adapted to the darkness, and taking advantage of the blue moonlight, she clearly saw the coffee table in front of her.

"I'm already satisfied." Ke Yuhan turned around at some point, he put his arms under his head, but his eyes were still closed, because his head was not far from Xu Xuanyue's ears, so she could hear clearly.

"You...... Are you talking in your sleep? Xu Xuanyue asked tentatively.

"Nope." Ke Yuhan moved his body beside him, and this small movement made Xu Xuanyue feel at ease instantly. "I mean, I've already received a gift for this birthday."

"You received a gift?" Xu Xuanyue was puzzled, she curled up and asked, "Who gave it to you?" ”

"The sky and the clouds give."

"Huh?"

"I mean, this rain is the best gift it has given me." Ke Yuhan seemed to open his eyes, and Xu Xuanyue saw two shining dots, shining with warm light in the darkness.

"Are you nervous? This rain is about to freeze me to death, if it weren't for you inside the door, I might have to spend the night outside. ”

"But......" Ke Yuhan paused, and in a quiet atmosphere, the pendulum made a stubborn swinging sound. But this rain has brought you. ”

Xu Xuanyue's body was stunned, under the cover of the night, her face immediately flushed, and she felt as if she was starting to have a fever again, and her head and cheeks were hot. What's worse is that Ke Yuhan's voice is extremely gentle, which hits Xu Xuanyue's heart. So the atmosphere was set to the moment when it was suitable for confession, Xu Xuanyue had the last two experiences, but she didn't dare to act rashly, so she was stunned, planning to let Ke Yuhan continue to respond.

Hearing that there was no movement, Ke Yuhan looked up in surprise: "Xu Xuanyue." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xuanyue buried her head in the quilt and responded.

"Do you hear that? You're the most amazing birthday present for me. ”

"Fleshy, I don't want to hear it."

"Oh...... Is it? Ke Yuhan smiled, wrapped the quilt tightly, and lay on his back, with his arm on his forehead to block the moonlight.

"That ......" Xu Xuanyue continued, her voice was subtle, and Ke Yuhan had the illusion that it was Zhou Junlan next to her. What do you mean by that...... What does that mean? ”

Xu Xuanyue let out a long sigh of relief when she heard Ke Yuhan beside her, and his breathing seemed to become a little rapid and loud.

"Xu Xuanyue, you say...... What is like? ”

"And what do you say you like?" Xu Xuanyue asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, I'm probably too young to understand the word."

"Small? What's wrong with being young? Love is an emotion that can be possessed from birth. When you open your eyes and see your parents smiling at you, they take care of you in every way, so you respond to them with a smile because you like it; When you meet your first friend, you are like-minded and have similar preferences, so you shake hands and call each other good friends because you like each other; Even when you see a cute little animal, a kitten, a dog, a bird, as long as you attract each other like a magnet, you like it. It has nothing to do with age. Like is different from love, like is an arrogant word, but love is often restrained. ”

After hearing this paragraph, Ke Yuhan was stunned for a while, and Xu Xuanyue couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Unexpected...... You understand it quite thoroughly. Ke Yuhan said.

"That's it."

"I like math, especially proof problems, if I like it is also a proof problem, how can I prove it?"

"I don't know, I'm not good at math."

At this time, Ke Yuhan suddenly got up from the sofa and turned on the light on the coffee table. Xu Xuanyue remembered that the light was as dim as a firefly in the grass, but the moment it lit up, she still burrowed back into the quilt because of the stinging pain in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, isn't it a little bright." Ke Yuhan said.

Xu Xuanyue combed her hair in the quilt and slowly poked her head out: "It's okay, it's you, why are you turning on the light?" ”

When Ke Yuhan heard this, his expression suddenly became serious, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, as if he was in a hurry to get up and forgot everything he wanted to say.

Xu Xuanyue sat up, and her subconscious told her that at this time, she shouldn't lie down. She waited quietly for him to answer.

"I hope ......" Ke Yuhan covered her mouth and stopped talking, if it wasn't Xu Xuanyue's illusion, it was Ke Yuhan's face was really a little red, her heart was pounding, and she was about to reach her throat.

"I hope ...... Don't mistake what I'm saying for a confession. I have my own habits. So...... Oh, what the hell am I going to say......" Ke Yuhan scratched his head and got up and went to the bar to pick up water.

Xu Xuanyue didn't move, just looked at him on the sofa.

After pouring two cups, Ke Yuhan's throat was moisturized, and his brain gradually cleared up.

"Xu Xuanyue!" Ke Yuhan seemed to smash a cup on the table at the bar, and his tone was full of energy: "What I want to say is that your appearance is like an energized coil stretched into my magnetic field." ”

Xu Xuanyue couldn't understand this strange metaphor, so he didn't know that Ke Yuhan confused the object of the metaphor because she was nervous, but she was willing to smile and listen quietly.

"Anyway...... My rhythm was disrupted by you, but the strangest thing is that I'm still enjoying it. Ke Yuhan wandered back and forth in front of the bar impatiently, dancing with his hands, and his voice was impassioned: "From home, from junior high school, those experiences, I thought there was no chance to return to the previous appearance, but you did it, although I still don't know what's going on, but this is so subtle and strange, I am very curious, and I have a strong and irrepressible curiosity about your whole person." I always want to see you these days off the holidays, and even I feel incredible, I don't know if it's a liking or not. So! ”

Ke Yuhan suddenly stood still, with his hands on his chest, as if he was holding a basketball in both hands.

"I want to prove it, I want to prove it...... I like you. When he finished speaking, he gasped for breath, as if it had taken all his strength to say these words.

Xu Xuanyue's eyes soon had tears, she nodded formally, went down little by little, and came up little by little: "Then, you...... Just prove it to me. ”

Ke Yuhan was taken aback, as if he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and then he smiled, smiling as brightly as a flower, only he knew that he had never been so happy except for getting a full score for the first time when he was a child.

"You listen......" Xu Xuanyue suddenly turned her ears to the other side.

"Listen to what?" Ke Yuhan asked.

"Rain...... Stopped. ”
