Chapter 5: The Late Cake

Today, Wu Wei, as before, refuses to accept the birthday gift prepared by his mother.

Go straight back to your room, lock the door, and force yourself to study. Others wish they had birthdays every day and the New Year every day, but Wu Wei hates birthdays the most.

It wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that Xie Lan asked Wu Wei to eat, and he was willing to come out. The candles on the cake flickered with flames, and Wu Wei stared at the flickering flames, and the resentment in his heart hissed.

"Eat." Wu Wei ignored the cake and sat on the chair to eat with his head buried in it.

After eating in twos and threes, they got up and went back to the house, and the candles were still burning.

The parents sitting in the living room were extremely embarrassed, and the more they loved it, the farther away they became.

"I don't eat so many meals, I don't even look at the gifts and cakes, tell me where that wild girl is." Xie Lan clasped her arms in her hands, indignant, and said to her husband.

"Don't say a word, the child is older, and now high school students, the pressure to study is also greater." Wu Yajun didn't want his son to get farther and farther away from him, so he stopped his wife's nonsense words.

The more I didn't want to, the more I missed, and seeing that the hands of the clock stayed at eight o'clock, Wu Wei got up and went into the kitchen.

Take out the cake in the refrigerator, cut a large piece, place it in a paper plate, and put the remaining cake back in the refrigerator.

Wu Wei held the paper tray in his hand, covered it with plastic wrap, and went out.

"No, I have to go and see, my son can't be destroyed in the hands of that wild girl." Xie Lan was a little uneasy.

"Enough, I don't think I can manage enough. Do you really want your son to run away from home? Wu Yajun yelled at his wife for the first time.

"I... I...."The first time in her life that she was yelled at by her husband like this, Xie Lan was speechless for a while, and she was very aggrieved.

"Over the years, in addition to not being close enough to us, Xiao Worry has been praised by the teacher for learning and dealing with people, and we don't have to worry about it, and we don't necessarily do it right." Wu Yajun still couldn't teach his wife a hard lesson, so he coaxed her and said.

Probably the son's gentleness comes from his father.

Wu Wei didn't know whether Mu Yuxun would get home at nine o'clock or get off work at nine o'clock, holding the cake in both hands, standing in the place where she was waiting for her at school every day, this wait was two hours, but he didn't feel hard.

Mu Yuxun walked on the street with 16 yuan of hard-earned money in his hand, and occasionally met some stalls on the side of the road, walking and stopping, not knowing what to buy.

Seeing a pendant in a stall, a small dolphin made of copper, Mu Yuxun squatted down and held the pendant in his hand for a long time.

"This... How much. Mu Yuxun's confidence is a little insufficient, and he is not very good at bargaining, although he often buys some bargains from stalls.

"30 yuan, you want to buy it, give 25 and it's done." The owner waited for a counteroffer.

Mu Yuxun opened his hand, a little uncomfortable. "I'm only 16, are you still there tomorrow?"

"16 is 16, take it." The boss took the money, apparently it was too much money.

Mu Yuxun, who was holding the pendant in both hands, strode back, and did not feel that this was too expensive to buy.

Mu Yuxun, who had been walking for a long time, kept wrapping the pendant with his hands, extremely careful. At the intersection of my home, I saw a familiar figure, sitting on a platform on the side of the road.

Wu Wei also saw Mu Yuxun and stood up with the cake.

"Are you waiting for me?" Mu Yuxun walked up to Wu Wei and lowered his head.

"Well, I want to eat cake with you." Speak a little shyly.

"Come, sit here, let's eat cake." Wu Wei continued.

Wu Wei sat on the side of the road and took off the plastic wrap.

"Happy birthday." Mu Yuxun sat next to Wu Wei, holding the pendant in both hands and handing it to him.

"For me?"

"Hmm," Mu Yuxun nodded.

"Thank you." Wu Wei took the pendant with one hand, and there was still the residual warmth of Mu Yuxun's palm.

"That..."Wu Wei stretched out to Mu Yuxun with the cake, indicating that his hands were not enough.

After Mu Yuxun took the cake, Wu Wei took the pendant in his hand and looked at it again and again, and hung it around his neck.

"Thank you, it's the best gift I've ever received." An innocent smile appeared on Wu Wei's handsome face, as if he had returned to the age of ten. Then take out a small plastic fork from the bottom of the cake, twist off a piece of cake wrapped in cream, plug it with a fork, and feed it to Mu Yuxun.

Mu Yuxun, who held the cake on his lap, looked at all this, his cheeks were slightly red, and he was shy and didn't open his mouth.

"This is what I owe you, the last time I was cowardly and didn't have the courage to chase it out, I made you miserable for six years, I'm sorry." The voice blames itself, gentle and pitiful.

"Hmm~Hmm~" Mu Yuxun hummed the first word long and high, and the second sound was short and low, opposing what Wu Wei said.

"You regard me as your best friend and invite me to spend your birthday with you, I have never forgotten it, I am very happy and grateful to you." His eyes were a little red, and he thought: Pity me really enough.

"Come, eat cake, this is my wish when I was ten years old, I have waited too long."

Mu Yuxun opened his cherry mouth and tasted the sweetness sent into his mouth by Wu Wei, the sweetness of his heart.

"Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's soft and sweet." Pursed his lips and savored.

Wu Wei smiled more like a child, and continued to hand the cake to Mu Yuxun's mouth, but Mu Yuxun did not refuse, but this time the taste in the mouth was sour, because the dream was broken.

"It was a wish I had before I was ten years old, and it took so long to come true. Thank you, Yu Xun. Wu Wei cried a little, remembering Mu Yuxun's grievances that day, and his heart was like a knife.

"That...... I still have a wish. "I changed my mood, and there was no more crying.

Mu Yuxun pinched the plate containing the cake with both hands and listened quietly.

And Wu Wei forked another piece of cake with a fork, and followed it with his other hand underneath, afraid that the cake would fall, "Is it okay to be my girlfriend?" ”

Mu Yuxun's already moist eyes widened, looking at Wu Wei, thinking that he was hallucinating.

"Is it okay to be my girlfriend?"

Mu Yuxun didn't answer, nor did he shake his head or nod.

Confessionally, it was only a moment of waiting as if centuries had passed. Wu's anxious and uneasy mood can be said to be accompanied by fear, and if he is rejected, he may lose the only piece of pure land in his heart.

What is clear is Mu Yuxun, moved, his heart is like a deer, Mu Yuxun of the girl's heart wants to agree, but Mu Yuxun, who has low self-esteem, is afraid.

Wu Wei cherished everything now, pinched the fork, and sent the cake into Mu Yuxun's mouth one by one, worried, and understood that there was no chance.

Thinking of his years of hard work, I thought: even if I wake up from the dream, I must make this dream more complete, and I must persevere, the empty envelope has some thickness, even if I can't let my dream continue, I must let this girl's dream no longer wake up.

"If you don't like it, you don't say it, we're still friends, best friends." Wu Wei's secret love and admiration for many years turned into his first love and ended.

The nose is pantothenic, suppressed and does not cry, but it cannot be stopped without sadness. "Here, eat cake, there are some." Wu Wei burst into tears, but said softly with a smile.

The heart is like glass, and the body is like iron. Wu was worried and painful, but he was persevering.
