It's October 20th again, Zhou Minggao's birthday. Although it was Thursday, Shen still sent him a message saying happy birthday after returning to the dormitory in the evening. Then, she received an invitation to Zhou Minggao's party.

He asked her, "A couple of my friends from college want to throw me a birthday party this Saturday." Are you coming? ”

Shen Yuanyuan happened to be worried that it would be difficult to propose to go out with him alone to celebrate his birthday, and when she had such an opportunity, of course she agreed and said to him, "Okay, see you on Saturday." ”

Zhou Minggao originally wanted to reject the kindness of his classmates, he thought that Shen Yuanyuan would not want to be with strangers, so that when she said no, he could say very routinely, "Okay, then let's go and live alone." ”

Why did things turn out differently than he thought? The routine failed, and he put himself in it.

The reason why he wanted to refuse the party was also very simple - the classmates who wanted to throw him a party were almost all girls, and he didn't think he knew them too well, but they didn't say that they usually asked him a lot of questions and wanted to celebrate his birthday. He was very puzzled, and he seemed to be teaching Shen Yuanyuan and Cui Yan in his spare time. It's also because there are a lot of girls at this party, and his two roommates, who are not too familiar with him, are very happy to say that they want to participate, and he thinks it's not a big deal, so of course he welcomes them to play together.

After the exam on Saturday, Shen Yuanyuan walked out of the school gate with his schoolbag on his back. He Youxin didn't know why he caught up and wanted to talk to her, she thought he had something, so she stopped and waited for him to say, but he finally stopped talking, and then walked away. Shen Yuanyuan didn't want to dig deeper, she was still in a hurry to prepare a gift for Zhou Minggao. Fortunately, the party only started in the evening, and she still had a lot of time.

After going home and delivering the schoolbag and talking to her father, Shen Yuanyuan went to the cake shop she had found before. She made an appointment with a pastry chef today to teach her how to make desserts - she planned to make a birthday cake for Zhou Minggao and bring it over. Since she had never touched these things before, she was a little scrambling, and she managed to finish it before the party started. Seeing that it was about to be too late, she had to take a taxi to her destination.

Today's weather is very good, and it is a sunny day that Shen Yuanyuan likes. After the rental, the sunset was still hanging obliquely in the sky, and it was about to set. Somehow, she suddenly became a little nervous, and after taking a deep breath, she walked towards the party hall.

This place was chartered by Zhou Minggao's classmates, so it was all their people who came, but helplessly Shen Yuanyuan didn't know anyone, after entering the house, several girls who were placing balloons in the room on the first floor looked at her. The girls were all wearing delicate and non-exaggerated makeup, with long or short hair, and they sat there like some kind of scenery. Shen Yuanxuan is now the most simple appearance, combing a simple ponytail, and not even wiping sunscreen.

Suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, Shen Yuan froze in place, not knowing what to say.

One of the girls with a balloon walked up to her and asked her in the tone of a little sister, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Shen Yuan said with little confidence, "Zhou Minggao." ”

"Oh, are you his sister?" This girl is indeed just a subconscious guess, but these words are really a bit harsh in Shen Yuan's ears.

Shen Yuan shook his head, "I'm his friend." ”

The girl smiled gently, still in the tone of her little sister, "Come and sit here, we'll set it up right away." Ming Gao hadn't come yet, so we lied to him that it would start at six o'clock, and then we could surprise him. ”

Shen Yuan sat on the sofa in the direction she pointed, she wanted to help them set up together, but it seemed that they were nearing the end, and she added it now to add it to the chaos. So she had to sit awkwardly in place, watching a room of people talking and laughing, chatting about a lot of topics about Zhou Minggao that she didn't understand.

She didn't know that Zhou Minggao was such a powerful person in school. Scholarships, competitions, and various experimental projects, she has never heard Zhou Minggao talk about them.

Is it because I think she's a child, so there's no need to talk about it?

"Come on, come on, take a look!" A girl's hearty voice sounded from the next room, "Can I just push the cake out later?" She walked out pushing a three-tiered birthday cake.

Shen Yuan was stunned, and subconsciously put the ugly-looking hand-made cake in his hand on the ground.

"How can it be you? It's time for us to come. ”

The girl who was called Xiao Yi was the girl who talked to Shen Yuanyuan when she first entered the door, and at this time, she lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly. Shen Yuanyuan felt as if she suddenly understood something, and she didn't want to stay in this place of right and wrong for a long time, so she quickly got up and wanted to leave. I didn't want Zhou Minggao and his roommates to push the door in at this time, and the moment the door was pushed open, the remaining sunset illuminated the room brightly, and Shen Yuanxuan was squinted.

A few girls in the room teased, "The birthday boy is here." ”

Zhou Minggao only saw Shen Yuan, who was standing in place with an embarrassed face and seemed to be leaving, he walked over quickly and asked her how long it had been.

"I'm just here, they're earlier."

Zhou Minggao still wanted to ask something, but the girls sprayed small streamers in the room, covering up their voices. Shen sat down and didn't talk to him again. Then, Xiao Yi came over from next door pushing a cake, and a group of people surrounded him and sang Happy Birthday to him.

Zhou Minggao smiled and said thank you, but he was worried about Shen Yuan's gloomy face.

"Let's make a wish, hurry up, hurry up." One of his roommates urged him to light a candle. "Remember to say it, if you don't say it, you'll be bored."

Zhou Minggao smiled, naturally embarrassed to make a wish that he really wanted to make, so he had to say, "I hope that everyone who came here today will graduate smoothly, those who want to be admitted to graduate school, those who want to work have a good job, and the future is bright." ”

Everyone booed and ridiculed him for being too official. He also smiled cooperatively, glancing at Shen Yuan from time to time.

Shen Yuanxuan didn't have a black face, but Zhou Minggao knew that she just didn't want to make a fuss in front of people, and he could feel that she was unhappy.

- Let's find a chance to coax her in a moment.

Just thinking about Shen Yuan's affairs, Xiao Yi was suddenly surrounded by several people and pushed to him. Before he could react to what was happening, Xiao Yi suddenly held a gift box that he didn't know what to hold and said to him, "Happy birthday Zhou Minggao, I like you." I don't usually have the opportunity to have more contact with you, can I get to know you more in the future? ”

As soon as her voice fell, everyone began to heckle.

Zhou Minggao was frightened, and reflexively took two steps back, but he didn't know what he kicked on. He looked down and saw that the ground was a mess - it was a spilled cream cake, some of which had been splashed on Shen Yuan, who was sitting next to him. Zhou Minggao didn't know the origin of the cake until he found that the cake was written in cute font, "Happy birthday, Mr. Zhou." ”

As if something had collapsed in his heart, Zhou Minggao hurriedly raised his head to find Shen Yuan's gaze, but it was already a little late. She stood up with a complasian face and said to everyone, "I'm sorry everyone, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." And he said to him, "Happy birthday." ”

Of course he wanted to chase him out, but everyone worked hard to prepare a birthday party for him, how could he refute everyone's face. So, he had to watch Shen Yuan's back disappear from sight, but he couldn't catch up.
