Chapter 10: Birthday Present

A smile is a kind of magic that makes everything feel like it was before, as if you go back to the time when you didn't write that note. They still often met, in the morning when the air was filled with the fresh smell of leaves and earth, on the green swaying grass, under the light and breezy sky, in the silent gaze of everyone, she still did not dare to look at him, he still smiled at her and his face was flushed.

When established facts cannot be changed, they will always learn to get used to it.

Time is going day by day, like an innocent child who does not know the world, running forward quickly, without stopping to see the joys and sorrows of the world. They all knew that the parting bell had already been ringing overhead.

Tomorrow is the birthday of rebirth, and An'an looked at his classmates to confirm the words he wrote on May 22. She wanted to give him a special gift that would remind him of herself in the days to come without her.

An'an has a particularly beloved photo frame, pink smooth hard plastic, the outer frame and the inner frame are three finger widths apart, and there is an extra cylinder at each end, stuck in the slot. There was a small picture in the inner frame, and there was a painting on each side, because the picture was so beautiful, An'an was reluctant to put in the photo to cover them, so she kept the picture frame empty, as if those two paintings were the memories she wanted to place.

One is two villains sitting opposite each other on dark brown high-legged leather chairs, a cup of cold drink with ice cream on the round table, two straws inserted in the cups, two ends extending into the pink mouths of the two villains, two round smiling faces, creamy yellow bows, one flying on the placket of the little boy, the other on the little girl's hair, the fluffy princess skirt, the peach cheeks are red, full of girlish hearts, and the wrought iron round table legs are rolled into the shape of hearts. The other is the two villains sitting on the same bench, looking at the same book, and the boy is holding a cream cone in his hand, and the cone is being licked with his tongue by a golden retriever squatting on the bench, which is a warm man in the dog world.

It was the beginning of February in Cardamom Tips, two girls went to the boutique to pick out gifts for the birthday of the boy they liked, An'an was just a companion, she didn't have anyone she liked, they encouraged her to pick one she liked, and send one to the person she wanted to give in the future. I didn't care about it at the time, and I bought this frame just because she really liked it. She didn't expect that the day they were talking about would really come after three years.

But just such a photo frame, naked to send will always seem insincere, or need a beautiful packaging, she thought so, went to the stationery store to turn over all the wrapping paper, and finally found a piece of kraft paper, compared to those gorgeous and gorgeous, will make her pick dazzling paper, she always loves these feel comfortable, low-key and introverted, some wonderful textures, like the palm print of time, like the memory of yellowing, mysterious paper.

She wrapped the picture frame in wrapping paper, although her current hard work is going to be torn after all, no matter how beautiful the packaging is, it seems that many things, that's it, seemingly futile but indispensable. That's probably a sense of ritual. Finally, carefully consider the meaning of the words, and attach a greeting card for a boy in the class to bring to rebirth.

She stood by the classroom window and watched the boy take her gift to Regeneration, and she was relieved. She thought about giving it to him herself, but she didn't know what to say when she met, she was still so shy, so overwhelmed, instead of letting him see his embarrassment, it was better to observe his expression when he received the gift in the dark, convey his heart, and then watch him accept it with joy, and the honeypot in his heart was overturned.

Regeneration opened the greeting card, and the words "Happy Birthday" surprised him, is it his birthday today? He didn't even know! I am very happy to receive a gift from An'an. He cautiously tried to follow her trajectory as little as possible to unwrap and destroy the integrity of the paper, peeling off the joints little by little, revealing a clear strip of milky tape, and waited until there was enough space before taking out the frame, and then pressing the joints firmly with his fingers. He knew the paper had done its job, but he didn't have the heart to throw it away, just shoved it into a drawer. And the photo frame is always placed next to the pillow! That was the closest place to his breath.

"An'an, thank you for the gift! How did you know my birthday? ”

"You wrote it in your classmates!"

Because there are no text messages, no mobile phones, and small notes still need to be passed on by classmates, those A, B, C, D, have become postmen in their first acquaintance.

Regeneration thought to himself, it turned out to be the birthday recorded by his classmates, May 22nd, it turned out to be this day! In fact, it was the 22nd day of May in the lunar calendar. Since he was a child, he has never had a birthday, he was just told that his birthday was May 22, no one told him the difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, and he didn't know whether his May 22 was a solar calendar or a lunar calendar, he didn't know which day it was, he couldn't figure out what it was, and he didn't care.

And An'an has always remembered birthdays on the solar calendar. Knowing his birthday from his classmates, and then giving him a gift, it was his first birthday present, and he thought it was his birthday, because he never suspected that An Shore would be mistaken.

These days, Regeneration has been struggling, and he hasn't forgotten to fill in the volunteers. In fact, he also knew that if he didn't go to the same school in high school, the chance of him and An An meeting was very small, and the sentence of the distance difference was just that he was comforting himself, and he didn't know what better words could he have besides saying that. If he could, he wouldn't want any distance. So he did something that even he felt brave.

He walked into the head teacher's office and lied that he had filled in the wrong volunteer, that he had not considered the actual situation at that time, and that he wanted to revise it now. Because of his current grades, it is indeed unlikely that he will be admitted to Shengyue High School, so the teacher did not even ask the parents of the regeneration to confirm the matter, and agreed.

He took the pen and crossed out Shengyue High School in the first column of the volunteer, just like crossing out all the previous doubts and impossibilities, crossing the distance between them, and writing Tianhe High School, like writing the beginning of their story, writing a new beginning.

He was excited about his decision that day. For the first time, he felt the sense of freedom and power that control gave him, and he wrote a note to An'an. Although he didn't tell An An the specific situation, he firmly told her that he wanted to be with her, that he wanted to go to Tianhe High School with her, and that he would definitely do it.

When she received those words, her heart suddenly blossomed, and it was a miracle for her. She was willing to believe in him at all costs.

So An'an shared her good mood with Rose, and she told her that miracles can happen if you work hard, so Rose decided to work hard for Su Jingyi.
