Chapter Seventy-Four: Birthday

Lin Shanghan doesn't remember when his last birthday was, but he remembers that one day in October every year, his mother would always cook a table of dishes, and then say that today is your birthday, and occasionally send a red envelope to Lin Shanghan. When Lin Shanghan was younger, he would buy a big cake, and then he stupidly lit a candle, naively made a wish and blew it out, thinking that this wish would definitely come true in the future.

It's not that Lin Shanghan doesn't remember his birthday, it's just that Lin Shanghan feels that celebrating his birthday is really not interesting, and he doesn't need to spend a lot of time celebrating his birthday as a big boy. Like those girls, they start to give themselves all kinds of hints to people who play well early, and then receive all kinds of gifts and blessings on their birthdays, and feel very good.

In fact, in this day and age, who will remember your birthday except for the people close to you?

On Lin Shanghan's hometown, people celebrate birthdays or are used to lunar birthdays, Lin Shanghan remembers that his mother said that Chinese will celebrate lunar birthdays, but Lin Shanghan always treats his Gregorian birthday as a real birthday, mainly because Lin Shanghan is too lazy to flip through the calendar, and the number should be the number.

But the meaning and value of this birthday are different from usual, this is Lin Shanghan's eighteenth birthday.

I don't know why, Lin Shanghan's first thought was that "you can legally surf the Internet in the future", which means that Lin Shanghan will start to assume more social responsibilities from now on, and begin to think about problems from the perspective of adults, and he is no longer a child.

Lin Shanghan often likes to say that he is older than others, but when it comes to the day when he becomes an adult, Lin Shanghan suddenly feels a little sad in his heart. Lin Shanghan didn't want to grow up like this.

But time flies, these things that happen according to the laws of nature cannot be avoided, Lin Shanghan can only stand on a new commanding height, look at the people in the past, and begin to face the new world.

When Lin Mama woke up Lin Shanghan in the morning, Lin Shanghan didn't realize that today was his birthday, and after Lin Mama called, she added a sentence "Happy birthday Hanhan", and Lin Shanghan realized that he had a birthday today in a daze.

At breakfast, my mother said, "I'll make something delicious for you tonight to celebrate", Lin Shanghan smiled and left. I found out in a trance that my mother was really old, and I really grew up.

Lin Shanghan felt that his whole person had a fluttering feeling because today was his birthday, although no one remembered or knew that today was his birthday, but he was still very happy.

When he arrived at school, Lin Shanghan saw a box wrapped in purple wrapping paper with a post-it note on it, Lin Shanghan suddenly felt a little excited, would anyone really know his birthday?

Lin Shanghan took a closer look, and the post-it note read: Happy birthday to Lin Shanghan! Eighteen years old! Deng Ziyi.

Hey, how did she know about her birthday today? Lin Shanghan was a little puzzled.

Lin Shanghan took the gift under the table, and then secretly opened it, and inside was a Starbucks mug, but Lin Shanghan was still happy.

If his birthday is remembered, it means that he has been noticed by others, and Lin Shanghan is of course happy.

After class, Lin Shanghan paced leisurely next to Deng Ziyi, "Hey, how do you know that today is my birthday?" ”

"Li Linxi told me last night"

"Oh, that's it."

Unexpectedly, Li Linxi still remembered his birthday after breaking up with him. Lin Shanghan didn't know what Li Linxi thought, but he had an indescribable relief.

When Deng Ziyi told Li Yixuan about Lin Shanghan's birthday, Li Yixuan hurried up when she returned to the classroom after running and exercise, and asked Lin Shanghan anxiously: "Oh, why didn't you tell me about your birthday, you see how I don't know anything." ”

Lin Shanghan was a little embarrassed by Li Yixuan, "It's not a big deal, it doesn't matter if you know it or not." ”

"Then how can I do it, I must know about your birthday."

Lin Shanghan didn't say much, Li Yixuan quietly tested what Lin Shanghan liked next to her, and Lin Shanghan said casually: "Either you can buy a doll for me." ”

Lin Shanghan didn't expect that Li Yixuan really had a lot of things to say casually, and he didn't sleep at noon that day, so he ran to the mall to pick up all kinds of dolls for Lin Shanghan, and finally hesitated and wasn't sure which type Lin Shanghan liked, so he directly bought six whole six and packed a big bag for Lin Shanghan. When Lin Shanghan came to the classroom, he saw such a big bag of dolls next to him, and he couldn't tell whether he was moved or surprised.

Li Yixuan wrote a greeting card inside: First of all, I wish Lin Shanghan's children a happy birthday! Lin Shanghan will be eighteen years old today! Although we have only known each other for a few months and have been together for only a few days, I will always like you, and we will have many, many tomorrows in the future, and I just want to spend it with you.

Looking at Li Yixuan's beautiful little girl's font, Lin Shanghan suddenly felt warm in his heart.

I remember my birthday last year, but my parents and Li Linxi remember that at that time, Li Linxi had already found someone he might know in Zhiyuan Middle School, and then on Lin Shanghan's birthday, he asked someone to give Lin Shanghan a box of chocolates, which contained a very long note, what was written Lin Shanghan didn't remember very clearly, but I remembered that Li Linxi wrote very affectionately, and I was still very moved after reading it for a long time.

A year has passed, but I didn't expect that we would not be together today.

Li Yixuan told her good friend the news of Lin Shanghan's birthday, and then Lin Shanghan received birthday wishes from many girls, and Lin Shanghan's heart was warm.

When Lin Shanghan went out to the toilet, he ran into Cheng Xiang School Committee who came back from dinner.

Cheng Xiang looked at Lin Shanghan with a smile, and Lin Shanghan was inexplicable.

"Your birthday today?"

Lin Shanghan nodded.

"Happy birthday."

Lin Shanghan smiled and replied "thank you".

For Cheng Xiang, Lin Shanghan always has a very special feeling.

When I got home in the evening, because today was Saturday, my parents were at home, and my mother really made a big table of dishes, and bought a small cake for Lin Shanghan.

Lin Shanghan half-pushed and half-made a wish and blew out the candles, and then his parents sighed that they should have gone to Lin Shanghan's university to celebrate Lin Shanghan's birthday this year, but they didn't expect Lin Shanghan to come back to repeat his studies.

Listening to his parents say this, Lin Shanghan also had an inexplicable sadness.

I grew up, but my parents got old.

After dinner, Lin Shanghan returned to his bedroom, secretly took out his hidden mobile phone, and saw Li Linxi send himself a "happy birthday" at twelve o'clock at noon.

Lin Shanghan didn't want to reply, but he still replied with a "thank you", just two words.
