Chapter 9: Happy Birthday

Today, April 1st, April Fool's Day.

In this festival where everyone is happy to fool each other, my birthday is like a joke. Nobody believes, no one cares. For many years, even I forgot what this festival meant to me.

Growing up is not smooth sailing, only through experience, will you understand.

Today, I am seventeen years old. I've been single for the past sixteen years, and at this seventeen year old, I can say that I'm no longer alone.

Although Chen Yingjie is by my side, he is not the one in my heart after all. Now, Liu Wei has entered my heart, and my empty place finally feels filled.

Early in the morning, Chen Yingjie was waiting for me at the door, holding a wrapped gift box in his hand.

"Xiaoxiao, happy birthday, this is for you."

"Thanks, you wait for me, I'll put it away." Chen Yingjie's gift, I don't need to get it to the school, it's too much, since it's at the door of the house, I just put the gift back on the bed in the dormitory. Hurriedly pulled him and hurried to the school together. I haven't finished my homework last night, so I'll have to catch up with my homework later.

"Xiaolong, what's the matter with you? Lately, the work has been dragging its feet. On the way, Chen Yingjie nagged me again.

"Hmm...... I didn't want to write when I got home, so I ......"

"What have you been thinking about absent-mindedly lately? Liu Wei? ”

"Oh no."

"What's that?"

"Xiao Ranzi hasn't been to school for a few days, I'm wondering, what the hell is he doing?"

"You're worried about that, too? Is it necessary? He's such a big guy! ”

"But he didn't reply when I sent him a message, I asked Yang Yang, and he said he didn't know."

"Xiaolong, he didn't tell you, he just didn't want to tell you. Besides, why did he report everything to you? Who are you? You, since your relationship with Liu Wei has been made public, you can't treat Xiao Ranzi like this anymore, it will make him worry, understand? ”

Chen Yingjie was right, it was my selfishness at the beginning, and I didn't want to give up the feeling of Xiao Ranzi's pampering of me. Now that I am with Liu Wei, how can I continue to ask Xiao Ranzi to do that to me? Wouldn't this become an out-and-out scumbag? Well, I should listen to Chen Yingjie and not bother him. However, today is my birthday...... I just want Xiao Ranzi to bless me. Forget it, it's an extravagant hope I shouldn't have.

When I returned to the class, looking at Xiao Ranzi's empty seat, all the care and love he had for me in the past poured out. For some reason, the nose is sour.

"Xiaoxiao, happy birthday." Li Jie handed me a cute hairpin, pink, with a small meow squatting on it, lying lazily on her stomach, smiling and smiling with peach hearts in her eyes.

"Thank you, Xiaojie."

"Don't dislike this gift for not being valuable."

"Where will it be, courtesy is light and affection is heavy." As I spoke, I put this hairpin in my hair. Actually, I was already very happy that she could say happy birthday to me.

One morning, Liu Wei didn't show up, and I felt a little lost.

As soon as the fourth class ended, I ran to the door of Liu Wei's class and went to look for him, but I found that he was not there at all, and Zou Honggang was not there.

They still hadn't finished class yet, and Lin Yanran secretly beckoned to me and motioned for me to wait for her.

So, I was at the door and waited for about ten minutes before they finally got out of school.

Lin Yanran rushed out as soon as possible and said to me with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, happy birthday." ”

"Thank you, Sister Lin."

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and get you a present." Lin Yanran entered the classroom, and when she came out again, she had an extra box in her hand.

"Come, Xiaoxiao, open it and take a look."

I took it, "Thank you, Sister Lin." "Ripping off the ribbon and opening the box, my jaw almost dropped.

This is a metallic pencil sharpening, very cute cartoon little plane, blue, the propeller of the plane can be turned, very beautiful and fun.

However, isn't this the gift I told Liu Wei that day? Why did Lin Yanran give me this?

"Sister Lin, I like this gift so much, it's so cute. But ......"

"Xiaoxiao, don't you think it's strange?"

I nodded, it turned out that this was really what Liu Wei told Lin Yanran to find for me. Lin Yanran said that Liu Wei told her that although she knew that what I said at the time was not true, since I said it, I should get it. But he has more important gifts to give, so let Lin Yanran give this gift.

I listened to her explanation and felt that Liu Wei really deserved to be Liu Wei. Everything became so thoughtful with him.

"Sister Lin, where are they?"

Lin Yanran said with a smile: "They went to prepare for your birthday party, and asked for leave today." By the way, you don't have to study at night tonight, tell the teacher in advance and make arrangements. ”

"Huh? That ...... "I wanted to ask, who attended the birthday party, but then I thought about it for a second, don't ask, it doesn't matter who he is, in short, I don't have to worry about it, just eat and drink, hahaha."

"Xiaoxiao, don't call anyone else at night. This time, it's just our own. ”

"Okay, I see, Sister Lin."

"Alright, let's go eat."

Lin Yanran accompanied me to put the gift back in the desk in the classroom, and then pulled me to eat my favorite pork rib rice outside the school.

Originally, Lin Yanran said that she would invite me to eat pizza in a farther place, but I refused. One, I'm too lazy to go, and two, I don't think it's necessary. There must be a big meal at night, so eat less at noon to leave enough room for your stomach at night, hehe.

I wanted to inquire about the arrangements for the evening, but Lin Yanran just wouldn't tell me. Although I will find out soon, I am still very anxious to hide my little mood.

After an anxious wait, it's time for the end of school. Chen Yingjie had made an appointment with me before and wanted to invite me to dinner. He came over as soon as he got out of class, and I had to chase him away. Although he looked reluctant, I knew that he would not bother with me.

I was about to leave, but I heard Yang Yang call me: "Xiaoxiao, wait a minute." ”

"Oh, what's wrong?"

He took out something from his school bag, "Here you go, Xiao Ran asked me to give it to you." ”

Well? Xiao Ranzi? Didn't he come in a few days?

"Oh, what about others?"

"He has something at home, and he may be here in a few days."

"Well, it's not like there's anything wrong with him." I've always felt uneasy in my heart, and I always have a sense of foreboding.

"He's fine, don't guess, hurry up and take it, I still have something to go."

I took the things in Yang Yang's hand, he didn't stop for a second, turned around and left.

I took it and looked at it, and it was a new notebook.

The cover is a large tree outlined in very simple lines, with scattered leaves that fall from the sky to the ground.

opened it, and it was still Xiao Ranzi's delicate handwriting. It's just that...... This time, the words are not as regular as before, but a crooked feeling, which reads:

Happy birthday, my Xiaoxiao.

Let me call you that here.

Once upon a time, I fantasized that one day, I would be able to walk hand in hand with you on the long road of life.

But when I write these words, I know very well that those pictures can only be fantasy.

can't have it with you in reality,

So, let me have it alone in my imagination at this moment.

My Xiaoxiao, even if it only exists in this diary,

But it is also unforgettable, unchanged in this life!

Birthday, miss you.

Fireworks left for you, looking forward to one day,

I can enjoy it with you.
