109 Dinner
When the clock on the wall had already clicked for a quarter of an hour, Yan Yu was still sitting sullenly at the dining table. In the dim light, the delicate cake gift box was still on the side of the table, and since Lao Li left, Fat Eucalyptus didn't even look at it.
"Eucalyptus." Beichen sat opposite the eucalyptus, looking at his unhappy look, and always felt that he should do something. Therefore, Bei Chen took the initiative to break the silence, "Today is your birthday, you should be happy." He patted him, hoping to pull him out of his sorrow.
Yan Yu was contrary to his usual open-mindedness, he lowered his head and sighed deeply, as if the whole person had fallen into a low bone, "Beichen, you say, I just want him to spend my birthday with me, is this request too much?" The expressions on his face were all twisted together, and he looked pained. His voice was low, all the more sad in this grocery store with only two people.
"Not excessive." Bei Chen said lightly, he only has the meaning of Shun Yan now to make him feel more comfortable, "However, uncle also has his own difficulties." He just turned slightly, for fear of making Yan Yu unhappy.
"Does he have a hard time?" Yan Yu smiled, but it was a helpless wry smile, "What can he do?" Isn't it just a purchase? Eucalyptus felt ridiculous when he thought about it, "When will he not be able to enter the goods?" Can't you go again tomorrow morning? I'm going to go tonight. ”
Eucalyptus looked very excited, which made He Beichen not know how to control his emotions. He just paused in his throat, "Eucalyptus, everyone has their own set tasks every day, and Uncle is naturally the same. He also has his own work to deal with. ”
Bei Chen's words made Yan Yu extremely distressed, "Why? Is this work so important in his eyes? Much more important than me. "Eucalyptus is angry and said stupid things again.
"Of course not." He Beichen grinned at him, "Uncle loves you very much, you are far more important in his heart than work." But there really was something waiting for him to deal with. Therefore, he has to have a choice, and naturally he must complete the task that should be completed first. ”
"Alas, but my birthday is like this once a year, and he is the most important person in my life. I really wish he could spend time with me. Yan Yu said that he barely squeezed out a smile on his fat face, and seemed to be laughing at himself for being so big, and he was so childish.
"Alright, Eucalyptus." Bei Chen smiled, he felt that the matter of persuading Fat Eucalyptus had taken a turn for the better, "Look, my uncle also gave you a cake as a birthday gift." It shows that he cares about you very much, he has worked all day today, and he has to go to buy goods at night, and he doesn't want to. Perhaps, he may feel guilty in his heart now. ”
He Beichen's mind has always been very meticulous, he has seen Yan Yu's father, it is a gentle middle-aged man, his face looks soft, like Yan Yu, he also likes to laugh. Such a father should love his son very much, in short, Beichen thinks so.
"What's the use of just having cake?" Fat Eucalyptus said with her little nose wrinkled, "I don't like cakes at all." I don't need his birthday present, I just want his company. Eucalyptus choked up as he spoke, but it was too fragile, so he tried to restrain his emotions and try not to let the tears fall.
"Alright, Eucalyptus." Bei Chen's hand was on his arm, and he didn't feel a little sad, "You are already very happy to have a cake to eat on your birthday." Like me, I've grown so big that I've never had a birthday, let alone a birthday cake. Bei Chen said, a little sad, but pretended to smile easily.
"Won't it?" Bei Chen's words obviously surprised Yan Yu, "You have never had a birthday, how is it possible?" "It was as if he had heard the ridiculous joke in the world.
"What am I lying to you for?" He Beichen rolled his eyes playfully, immediately relieved from Fang Cai's sadness, and continued to talk and laugh with Yan Yu again, as if he was talking about a person who had nothing to do with him, "As for me, my daily routine is normal, you know." Something like a birthday is more time-prolonging. So, I just don't like it that much, anyway, I don't like it that much. Even though he said this, the young man's heart was as sad as a cat's scratch.
"Oh, that's right." Yan Yu nodded as if he didn't understand, and there was a slight sense of guilt in his heart, he didn't know how to cherish it so much, what could the grievances he suffered be in front of He Beichen, at most it could be regarded as hypocrisy.
"So, you should be happy, shouldn't you?" He Beichen's way of comforting people is really special, comparing his sadness with Eucalyptus, as if he is the only way to make Yan Eucalyptus truly happy.
"Well, you're right, thank you, Beichen, I feel really better now." Yan Yan told the truth, but he felt that he was a little cruel, so he smiled embarrassedly.
"Since my dad is coming back later, let's eat first, and we won't wait for him." Yan Yu said and moved the cake box that he had just thrown aside to his side, and Yan Yan looked at the gift box carefully, "Well, it's good, it seems that the packaging is quite exquisite." As he spoke, he took the initiative to pull the gift belt of the cake box with his hand.
It seems that Yan Eucalyptus has recovered from the low tide just now, He Beichen thought about it and smiled inadvertently, as long as Yan Eucalyptus was happy, he would also feel very happy.
"Three, two, one." Eucalyptus pulled the ribbon and chanted words in his mouth, and when Yan Eucalyptus opened the cake box, the eyes of both of them widened.
"Wow, this cake is so beautiful." He Beichen couldn't help clapping his hands, in fact, this was the most beautiful cake Beichen had ever seen. The white cream is covered with chocolate crumbs, and six small strawberries are placed on the top of the cake, with a small white chocolate chip in the center and a few round characters written in black chocolate: Eucalyptus, happy birthday.
Yan Yu, who was still sullen just now, now the corners of his mouth have risen unnaturally. He didn't expect that the cake his father gave him would be so beautiful, he really didn't like cream, so his father chose a chocolate series for him, which was really well-intentioned.
Fat Yan hurriedly took out the mobile phone in his pocket, chose the angle, and took a picture. He now seems to understand why she loves photography, because it can record the beauty of life.
"Well, fifteen-year-old cake, yes, I really like it." Eucalyptus said, a satisfied smile on her cheek. He Beichen picked up the small candle box placed next to the dining table and took out six candles of different colors from it. Carefully insert each strawberry on one side, as if it would crush the cake.
"Beichen, just the two of us, we don't need to light candles." Yan Yu felt that this was too formal, but he and Beichen were just two people, just eat a piece of cake. But Beichen didn't think so, and he lit the candle wick with a lighter on his own.
"Be careful, don't burn yourself." Yan Yu was a little scared when he looked at Beichen, and he was even worried about whether Beichen would use a lighter. Looking at the young man's cautious appearance, it is more difficult than the fat eucalyptus to solve the math problem.
"Hey, Beichen, can you do it? You can't, I'll do it. Eucalyptus sat on the sidelines and was anxious, and simply questioned him.
"Hey, I'm not as stupid as you think." At this time, Beichen had already lit all six candles, and the gloomy hut became bright. Bei Chen shook the lighter in his hand, put it aside again, as if he had completed a big thing, and boasted to himself: "Look, didn't I order it?" ”
Yan Yu smiled at him, revealing two small white teeth, it seemed that he really underestimated He Beichen. And just when he was still stunned, Bei Chen had already quietly walked to the door and turned off the lights of the grocery store.
"Hey." Yan Yu screamed but there was no follow-up, he had to admit that he still liked the atmosphere. He is not a romantic person, and when he occasionally has such an artistic conception, it will make Yan Yu feel extraordinarily enjoyable.
"What? Wouldn't a candlelit dinner be even more exciting? He Beichen doesn't like to laugh, and he doesn't laugh often, but he has laughed many times tonight.
He Beichen said and suddenly paused his voice, "Eucalyptus, I'll sing you a birthday song." Out of tune, don't laugh at me. Bei Chen pouted embarrassedly, he always felt that his five tones were incomplete, but now he had to pull it out and give it a try.
He thought about it and was a little embarrassed, and sang like that, "I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday......" He Beichen's singing voice is not good, even such a popular song is still out of tune as expected, but Yan Yu, who was sitting on the side, was very excited and couldn't wait to applaud him, he grew so big, it was the first time he heard others sing a birthday song for himself. What can you do if you are out of tune, Yan Yu likes it.
"Wow, Beichen, you sang well." Eucalyptus didn't lie, he really felt that He Beichen sang well, although his voice was not very good, but it was warm enough, and this warmth surrounded him tightly and made him feel full of happiness.
"Alright, don't bury me." What his voice is, He Beichen still knows in his heart, "I sing quite well, then the world should be chaotic." "He Beichen is He Beichen, and the self-deprecating index is not ordinarily high.
With great interest, he picked up the birthday hat that had been placed on the outside of the cake box, and the paper hat must have looked a little small. Bei Chen's gentle fingers buckled it to the last square, and he wanted to bring it to the eucalyptus, but it seemed that this was the only way. He gently placed the snapped little crown on the fat eucalyptus's head, and he was eager to see him in the top hat, imagining that the round face and the little golden hat must have been very dramatic.
Who knows, at the moment when it was placed on Yan Eucalyptus's head, He Beichen couldn't help but laugh out loud. I saw that the paper hat that had been adjusted to the largest size also occupied the center part of the eucalyptus's head, and it didn't completely cover his head, not to mention how funny it was, "Big-headed doll." Beichen unscrupulously pointed at his little hat and laughed.
"What to laugh at, don't laugh." The fat eucalyptus pretended to be angry and wrinkled his little nose, but there was an irrepressible smile on his cheeks. Beichen felt that his stomach hurt from laughing, "Okay, okay, I'm tired of laughing." As he spoke, he tried to calm himself down.
"Then, make a wish." Under the red candlelight, Bei Chen's face became more and more amiable, no longer as cold as before, and he looked at him quietly. At this time, Eucalyptus smiled with satisfaction, like Angel in a dream.
"Okay, what do I wish for?" On weekdays, the word "wish" seems very unfamiliar to eucalyptus, two o'clock every day, school, grocery store. No, more precisely, three points and one line, plus a canteen. This kind of study life is boring and monotonous, and he doesn't know what else he wants. Eucalyptus playfully rolled her eyes, "Alright, there you have it." ”
In the small grocery store, in the candlelight, Eucalyptus closed his eyes, and his two hands on the dining table crossed their fingers, like a sleeping baby. Fifteen-year-old Yan Yan seemed to be talking to himself, and it was pitch black all around, and he could only hear his own heartbeat.
"I have a small wish, I hope that my friendship with Beichen will last forever. He is the most important friend in my life and I wish him health and happiness. Also, take care of yourself and don't get so tired. The future is unknown, but no matter what happens, Beichen, I also hope that you can be by my side and celebrate every birthday with me. ”
He silently finished reading the words in his heart, and then opened his eyes gently, and in the flickering candlelight, his dear friend smiled at him, "Wish-fulfilled?" ”
Bei Chen said and picked up the goblet, which was the Coke he had just poured inside, "Come on, Happy birthday Yan Yan." He said, motioning for Yan Yu to clink glasses with him, "I hope your wish can come true." ”
In the next second, the walls of the two cups collided, "Thank you, Beichen." May our friendship endure forever. As she spoke, she returned the goblet to herself, and threw the coke from her back
