Chapter 42

I put the pendant on, and the cold pendant pressed against my skin, bringing a burst of warmth. In the future, I will definitely be more careful and love like my grandfather.

When I came to Yulu's house, I met with dinner again, and there were other people at my aunt's table, some people I didn't know, maybe these people were like Brother Li before, my uncle's friends before his death, and my aunt beckoned me to eat together, but I refused.

Everyone was talking about interesting things at the dinner table, the topics of the adults, vulgar and with so-called jokes. I didn't speak, I didn't want to speak, I just listened quietly. From time to time, I still have to smile, I found that my aunt is actually not so happy, just now there is a slight change in her smile and expression at this time, she is more still listening, and diligently help everyone fill the wine glass.

After a long time of drinking and eating, they talked for a while before leaving. My aunt simply cleaned up, and Yulu also ran out to play with the children.

"What's wrong? Isn't it supposed to be at school? My aunt sat down next to me and relaxed, she had changed into a casual dress.

"I came out to see my mother today, and I happened to come to see Yulu" I didn't open my mouth to talk about yesterday, and I didn't talk about my birthday.

"Oh. So, are you sure you're not hungry? Why don't you heat up the dish again and eat some? “

I politely refused and lit another cigarette.

"Why is the addiction to smoking so big, didn't you promise your aunt to smoke less" My aunt pretended to be angry and didn't stop me.

"Oh, I'm twenty years old today, and this pack of cigarettes was given to me by my father" I have some meaning to show off, I have grown up in my father's eyes, and I can smoke openly from today.

"Twenty today?" My aunt thoughtfully: "You mean it's your birthday today!" My aunt reacted and suddenly became sincerely happy.

"Yes, I have a birthday today" I didn't expect to say it, and I was a little embarrassed.

"Ah, do you have to commemorate it, how many drinks will my aunt have with you?" My aunt was happy, gave me an ambiguous look, ran into the kitchen, picked up a bottle of wine, and ran out again.

"Happy Birthday" raised a glass, and my aunt smiled like a child.

I'm still very happy, this is the first happy birthday I received today, and then I drank the wine in one gulp.

"What a beautiful pendant! Can I take a look? "When I looked up to drink, my aunt noticed the gift I had just received. The eyes have been deeply attracted by the pendant.

"Okay," I replied, I wanted to take it down and show it to my aunt, but my aunt listened to her consent, and didn't want to wait a little longer, so she leaned her head over and put the pendant in the palm of her hand.

I was a little surprised, and I raised my head stiffly so that my aunt could see clearly.

My aunt seemed to be in love with it, and women seemed to be attracted to such beautiful things. I really felt that my neck was a little sore, and when I lowered my head, I saw my aunt's chest at a glance, the casual loose skirt was much larger than ordinary clothes, and my aunt was defenseless and bowed her head and bowed her body, I could be said to have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery on my chest.

His heart began to pound, his cheeks became hot, and he cursed himself for being a hooligan.

When my aunt let go, she noticed the change in me and thought it was just that she was not in a good state today and drank to the face.

"It's so beautiful" my aunt is still praising my pendant,

"This is from my grandfather, it's a birthday present," I was a little embarrassed, and put the pendant into the collar and replied to my aunt a little shyly.

"Oh! So that's it...... Then you have to take good care of it," my aunt didn't look at it anymore after listening to me.

"It's twenty, and my aunt doesn't have any gifts to take, so I'll show you a dance? No, no, no, let's do a dance together, how about it? My aunt looked at me expectantly, and I was really embarrassed by this special birthday present.

I don't know how to dance, and I have to maintain my gentlemanly demeanor to agree, I'm like a robot, completely led by my aunt and dancing around.

My aunt's dancing posture is very charming, and her relaxed and graceful steps in the room are charming, and the only failure is to bring herself, which affects the beauty. My aunt was very serious and asked me to wrap my arms around her waist, raise them back, and raise my hands from the bottom to the top for a perfect curtain call. I didn't dance much, but I was too nervous and sweaty.

"Hey. You have to practice more, I heard that your school doesn't have a dance extension, why does the teacher teach you to pretend to be wood in a daze? My aunt twisted her neck and handed me a towel.

The sweat all over my body and the scent of my aunt still surrounded my body, like a mist rushing into my mouth and nose, and my breathing was a little confused.

"No, no, no, there was a dance event, but I didn't see it," I took the opportunity to turn my head to the side as I wiped my sweat awkwardly.

"Impossible, right? Such a handsome guy, will there be a girl who is unwilling? My aunt looked puzzled, not believing the truth I was telling.

"I'm busy studying......" I smiled.

"You lie to others, you must have rejected others," my aunt's words hit me straight to my heart.

"Your twentieth birthday present, now I've thought of it," my aunt suddenly laughed, leaving me scratching my head again.

"Huh? What is it? "I was excited and nervous at the same time.

"That's me!" This categorical answer almost made me choke on a cigarette,

"Auntie, you're kidding!"

"Haha, I mean my aunt will be your dance partner in the future, what do you think about it? Would you like this unusual birthday gift? My aunt laughed and knocked on my brain, I didn't know that my red face was very pleasing to my aunt, she actually just wanted to see how I didn't know how to be this shy look.

"Oooooooooo......oo I want me to want me to "I hurriedly agreed, trying to make up for my mistakes. But this answer is even more absurd, and the feeling of saying it seems even more marginal and strange.

My aunt couldn't help laughing: What do you want, what do you want...... Silly boy"

I was so embarrassed that I had to smoke and drink to escape, my brain was really not enough, and my mouth was stupid, like a pig. This kind of thing can be said.

The atmosphere was no longer joyful, and after a few glasses of wine, I still told me the purpose of my trip and asked my aunt if I could tell me something about my uncle.

"My love and hate have already gone into the ground with him" This is the first sentence that my aunt said when she lit a cigarette, and it was reasonable.

Sure enough, when it comes to lovers, women are rational and beautiful. I didn't say much, looking forward to the clues that my aunt would bring to me next,

"Our love is already sandwiched with too much pain, you don't understand my feelings, it's just better with rain and dew later, as for the strange things you want to know, I don't know much, but I heard those hunters say a long time ago, my man won't live long" Aunt didn't want to say it very heavily, still smiling. A few words instead seemed breezy.

"Not long to live? Did you say it when my uncle was still in good health?" I asked,

"I don't remember"

"Did you say anything else?"

"Nope"

"Then why do these hunters ......" I realized my impoliteness when I said this, and the continuous questioning was too burdensome for my aunt, and satisfying my curiosity would only tear open the scars in my aunt's heart again and again.

"I'm sorry aunt......" I lowered my head and stopped talking

"Don't say I'm sorry, never...... All right? My aunt's emotions were a little out of control, her tone changed very quickly, and the first half of the sentence seemed to be blaming but suddenly changed to pleading.

I don't think the atmosphere should be like this, so I changed the topic directly, sat closer to my aunt, and talked about the story of being with Guilun at school, I couldn't tell what it was like to her, and my aunt should have some different opinions from myself if she was a woman.

After hearing this, the familiar smile hung on her face again: "Yo, you seem to like someone like this, Guilun, a beautiful name" With a cute face, my aunt has already hidden the sadness just now.

"Okay...... Everything is the best arrangement" I can't see myself clearly in the face of Guilun, if there is no feeling is very strange and hesitant, I want to meet but I am afraid to meet, sometimes my heart is empty, I don't know if these changes in me are all because of her. I don't know if she can understand my feelings.

"It's a good thing not to be understood by others," my aunt thought for a while and then drank another glass of wine.

"Why" I was a little curious.

"As soon as people pay attention to you, you open up, and you think it's frankness, but it's loneliness, right? And if you could understand everything, what a vulgar person you would be. You tell me? “

I smiled, this sentence should have come out of my aunt's mouth, not often appropriated by myself. Sure enough, the perception and understanding of life that the years bring to a person is beyond the reach of oneself and one's peers. It all takes time to fill.

"If you like someone, you must tell her, not to ask her to repay you, but to let her remember that there is still you like her in this world, recognize him and appreciate her, and let her know that she is not useless in the dark and painful days in the future, when she denies herself. Maybe you can save her in this way," my aunt said in a serious voice that I couldn't figure out, could it be that because she had drunk too much, my aunt began to teach herself?

"I know, I know, if there is something I don't understand in the future, I will come to my aunt when I am confused" I looked at the time and it was time to go back to school, I should leave, and I couldn't drink any more alcohol.

"No one is going to be going to be smooth all the time, but there are always people who are not going well. No one is out of love, but there will always be people who are out of love" This sentence my aunt did not say to me, but silently recited to the back of my departure, looking at my back, my aunt was full of thoughts: "This kid's life has just begun, I hope God can treat him well"

On the way back, I felt very fulfilled, although my mother was still seriously ill and could not spend my birthday with me, but in addition to this regret, I was still very satisfied, I received gifts, received my father's approval, talked with my brother well, heard many meaningful words, and inexplicably added a dance partner.

Birthdays always have surprises that make people unexpected.
