Chapter 39: A Birthday Present
In the next few days, Lin Ran did not fold the stars again.
Zhu Chengzhuang's birthday was in November, and when his birthday was approaching, his team leader asked Lin Ran if he wanted to write something for him and put it on the PPT, Lin Ran asked him who had written it, and she keenly identified one in a string of familiar names, Su Qing.
"Since so many people have written it, I won't join in the fun." Lin Ran smiled lightly.
"Isn't your relationship good, it's hard to celebrate your next birthday, you see, after graduation, you won't have a chance to think about it." The team leader persuaded her again.
She wants to say too much, how can a page of PPT be enough.
Besides, there are some words that simply cannot be put on a PPT.
"I don't know what to write, forget it." Lin Ran said, "Anyway, his friends don't lack me." ”
For his birthday gift, Lin Ran put it off again and again, she really couldn't think of anything she could give him.
The day before his birthday, Lin Ran took Su Qing to accompany her to the school's supermarket to pick a birthday gift for Zhu Chengzhuang. She asked Su Qing, "What did you prepare for him?" ”
"I won't tell you!" Su Qing looked mysterious.
Lin Ran smiled shallowly, and casually picked up a larger drifting bottle, which contained twenty small notes, and there was a line of light green words on the bottle: "Twenty reasons to like you."
Lin Ran took the drifting bottle and went to pick a box again.
That night, she finished twenty little notes, each of which wrote down what they had said together, what they had done, and what they had planned for the future.
In the pen, what emerges is the happiness of these months.
They have never quarreled, never held hands, never eaten together, never went back to the dormitory together, and never done anything that a couple would do, but in those days together, every day, Lin Ran was very happy.
Simply standing on the windowsill and looking in his direction would make her happy.
With so much joy, how can twenty little notes be?
Lin Ran wrote a long letter.
From the very beginning, to the present.
"We drifted apart, and I knew it might be my problem, and you could tell me if I didn't do well, after all, I was really in a relationship for the first time."
Lin Ran wrote this sentence.
I thought of the long list of missed calls I saw when I got home that day. If the same thing was happening now, he probably wouldn't have done it, right?
It turns out that people change, and so do feelings.
Since it was because she was too indulgent in this relationship and didn't know how to maintain it, in the future, she believes that she can work hard to change it.
She wanted to keep this hard-won relationship.
When he finished writing the letter, it was already half past eleven, Lin Ran looked at his watch, and looked at the homework in his plan that had not been touched at all. Dig out the paper for folding stars and the box for the stars next to the bed.
One by one, carefully fold it, pinch it up, and gently place it in the box.
It's too far from 999, she doesn't have extravagant expectations, and 99 is not good.
But that night, there were not enough origami, and in the end there were only a pitiful 79.
Lin Ran put the stars and those small notes into the drifting bottle, carefully placed the drifting bottle in the box, folded the letter, and pressed it under the drifting bottle.
He put the box on the head of the bed, covered it with the quilt and went to sleep.
The next day, Lin Ran kept the box in the table hole.
Before the self-study that night, the classroom was as lively as it had been on my birthday. He had many friends, and many of them wrote him blessings.
After reading them one by one, singing the birthday song, and giving a speech, when it was over, the physics teacher was already standing outside the door waiting.
"Why not you?" Qi Bing asked her.
Lin Ran shook his head, "I don't want to write, it's hypocritical." ”
"Oh, by the way, Su Qing gave him an oversized monkey yesterday, it's quite cute." Qi Bing said again.
"Oh."
On today's birthday, Qi Bing and their dormitory were going back to make trouble for a while, so Zhu Chengzhuang left early that day, and when he passed by Lin Ran, Lin Ran reached out and grabbed the schoolbag on his back.
Zhu Chengzhuang turned his head in shock: "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Ran handed him the box, and he smiled happily: "Ah! And gifts! Thank you! ”
