Han Yi remembered the twenty-third day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and the day of his birthday was also the first meeting between Han Yi and Bai Xue in more than two years, and it was also a few days before Zhong Yinger came to him.

When he woke up in the morning, he looked at his phone and received a blessing from Cheng Wu, it was still zero o'clock, that is, the first person to say happy birthday to him. Then there were also twenty or thirty blessing messages on QQ and WeChat, but he didn't receive any news from Zhong Yinger, and he was a little lost in his heart. The bad mood seems to be more compatible with the rainy day, so this day is not beautiful to join in the fun. Maybe it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the bad mood is a bit down, but the mood is a little down, after all, I'm used to it, although his birthday is only 14 days later than Zhong Ying'er, but in the past three years, she has sent a blessing text message, and she still got the wrong time, two days late. It's actually like a complaint, yes, yes, yes. Although Han Yi pretended not to care, in fact, deep down he hoped that Zhong Ying'er cared.

Loss is loss, and a momentary mood swing can't affect the next day's arrangement, not to mention so many people waiting for me. If it weren't for the annual class reunion without the image of getting wet clothes and messing up hairstyles, Han Yi would have wanted to try the feeling of walking in the rain. Dressed in a black hooded sweater, a red down jacket and black slim-fitting trousers, and wearing his favorite white sneakers, he went out with an umbrella. He didn't know if such a color match was reasonable, whether it looked good, or whether it would be too exaggerated, and whether it would be unsuitable for him, who had always been taciturn and pretended to be cold. He just depends on the mood and mixes it at will. Han Yi's clothes are basically black, white and gray, this red short down jacket is an exception, his mother bought it for him when he was hospitalized, and he personally feels very good-looking, and he likes it more.

Although the rain was heavy, it did not reduce the lively atmosphere in the streets and alleys, and there was no empty seat on the bus.

He arrived at the predetermined place alone, less than 10 o'clock, and there were still more than two hours before the agreed time, which was relatively early. The environment here is really good, the floor-to-ceiling windows and doors go straight to the balcony, hanging on the lake, the rain slaps the lake hard, stirring up a circle of messy ripples, the sound is crisp, a bit of "noisy cut miscellaneous, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate" feeling. The open-air balcony is quite large, with two painted swings and a round glass table, which is slightly empty.

Han Yi called the waiter and said, "You see it's raining, but there is no wind, can you help me set up three tents on this side of the balcony, put a few together, there will be a lot of people coming later, you can sit here." The waiter readily agreed, he said that if the weather is good, you can barbecue outside, the tent is there, and when there are no guests, it is packed up, and immediately find someone to arrange it in full swing.

"Hiroko, are you up yet? Come and sing, I'm here. "I, Han Yidun, felt bored, and wanted to fool someone to come over and help decide the food and drinks at noon, and it happened that Fu Bo was close and could be there in a few minutes.

"Sing a yarn, I went to KTV with my family last night and sang until more than eleven o'clock, and I couldn't sing anymore." Listen to his voice, like he is chewing something in his mouth.

"Are you eating?" Han Yi asked.

"Yes, my mother just made dumplings, do you want to come over and eat some?" You can clearly hear the sound of drinking water.

"Don't be crooked, come here! Help me look at the menu and order the lunch dishes. Han Yi angrily put down the cruel words, because he couldn't stand the sound of eating dumplings. He hadn't eaten in the morning and was a little hungry.

"I didn't eat anything in the morning, bring me a bowl of dumplings······" Han Yi said shamelessly.

only heard a "poof", Fu Bo was laughing at Han Yi and almost squirted out the dumplings in his mouth.

"How much are you going to eat? I'll help you down. "When I heard it, it was Fu Bo's mother's voice.

"Auntie is good, Auntie is good······ Seven or eight would be fine, thank you, Auntie, I'll come to you in a few days to greet the New Year. Han Yi said hurriedly in a little flustered.

Although I am very familiar and have eaten the food cooked by my aunt many times, I am still a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll let Hiroko bring it to you later."

Han Yi's respectful appearance seemed as if his aunt was in front of him.

"You wait, I'll come over when I'm done." After speaking, Fu Bo hung up the phone.

While waiting, Han Yi turned on the LCD TV hanging on the wall, ordered a few songs, picked up the microphone and tried the sound effect. His must-have tracks "I Thought", "Be Your Man", "I Can", "You Love Her So Much", "Stubborn", "Simple Love", "Maple", "Coral Sea", "All the Way North" and so on, it seems that this must-have is a bit too much, yes, Han Yi is suspected of being a Maiba.

"Be your man

Twenty-four hours without sleep

Keep it carefully

This enthusiasm does not go away

No matter how chaotic the world is

The two of us hugged each other tightly

······”

Just as Han Yi was singing affectionately, the door opened.

"Early in the morning, is it appropriate to complain on such a day? Can you update your library? Throwing these words to Han Yi head-on.

Han Yi thought to himself: If it weren't for the dumplings in your hand, I wouldn't have given you a flying leg.

Hiroko put the dumplings on the table less than half a meter away from Han Yi and said, "This is a birthday present!" Then he picked up another microphone and walked to the computer where he ordered the song.

"It's not that I'm talking about you, maybe you're really not suitable, there's no need to be so tired. She's like a free person, leaving and coming back at any time, and you know very well how much time you spend together, how many times she touches. As a brother, I support your decision, but as a bystander, perhaps I see and know more than you. Something like this, Han Yi heard him say it once, and he always felt that he had something in his words and knew something he didn't know, after all, Fu Bo was their mutual friend, and Han Yi's emotional experience was the person he knew best, but he had never said it so seriously. Facts also proved that Han Yi's guess was not wrong.

"Just singing a song, are you there?" Han Yi pretended to be very innocent and retorted.

"I had suspected that I was walking in the desert

Never bear fruit, no matter what kind of dream

As soon as he spread his wings, the wind became silent

Can the pain of habit be considered a gain?

······

Only when you get out of your frustration do you see a new universe

The sea and the sky are after the bravery

Break the lock of fate with attachment

······”

Han Yi was singing, he cut off his song and started singing, Han Yi looked at him with a confused face, thinking, "This is what you said you can't sing?!" But he couldn't say a word. Fu Bo can still sing, not long after they met, when he sang at the party, he sang the song "Sea and Sky" by the letter orchestra, as well as "If", which was unanimously praised by the audience and praised like a tide.

After eating the dumplings, I discussed with Hiroko, ordered more than 20 dishes, and prepared claypot rice with a high praise rate here, which can be enjoyed by friends who are late. Hiroko said that because there are many people, it is not good to get drunk, and suggested that Han Yi should not order alcohol, and as far as Han Yi knows, there are not many people who drink, so this suggestion is adopted, all drinks, non-alcoholic drinks. After telling when to start serving, the two of them began to play billiards, and the rain outside became lighter.

Yang Ke suddenly called and said that he and Yuan Zhe were still in the car, and it was estimated that they would arrive at half past 12. In order to prevent some students from arriving a little late due to special circumstances, after comprehensive consideration, Han Yi went to the waiter again and asked them to postpone the serving for half an hour, and start serving the food at half past twelve.

A lot of people came one after another, most of them knew each other, of course, their common intersection was Han Yi, and some of them hadn't met, so they introduced each other to Han Yi who didn't know each other. A few brothers brought a large cake, which was very large, saying that it had three layers, and it was estimated that it was enough for more than 30 people to share. The three girls in the repeat class met, said that they were not familiar with each other, and asked Han Yi to pick them up. So he hurriedly went downstairs and took a taxi to the station, fortunately the distance was close, but only six or seven minutes. In fact, they could have taken a taxi to tell the driver the location and came directly, but Han Yi had to greet him in person out of the courtesy of the host. After getting off the bus, I saw three beautiful women in the waiting hall, maybe they all knew how to dress up after going to college, or they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and suddenly saw a little speechless.

"Long time no see!" I said a little confused.

"It was raining heavily when I went out, and I waited for a long time for the bus." Jiale grumbled. In fact, the last time they met was a year and a half ago, when she came to Han Yi's school to play, she happened to ask him to have a meal, after all, studying in the same city, they usually have a little contact.

"It's been a great job, it's been a great job······ Let's go to the teahouse first. Han Yi hurriedly said and handed the umbrella to them.

"Happy Birthday!" Bai Xue and Yuanyuan said in unison. These two classmates hadn't seen each other for more than two years, and they avoided them without daring to stay on them for longer, perhaps a little nervous.

"Happy birthday, for you." Bai Xue handed Han Yi the light blue gift bag in his hand with both hands. Jiale then handed him a small box in the shape of a rectangle, and Yuanyuan handed him a large cardboard box with a ribbon tied with a bow on it.

"Didn't I say no gifts? I'm not going to return the favor. "Han Yi had already informed the group not to give gifts. But it's still nice to receive a gift at the moment.

When he was in the car, Han Yi tried to find something to talk about and break the awkward atmosphere. Although Jiale is very arrogant, it feels very ladylike and very righteous, and the other two are more introverted, so he wants to break through Jiale.

"Won't you look at the gifts we gave?" Kara breaks the silence in the car.

"Can I dismantle it now?" He seemed to be asking for permission, but his hand was already unconsciously opening the gift.

Bai Xue sent Jay Chou's "Twelve New Works", everyone who knows Han Yi knows that I basically only listen to Jay Chou's songs throughout junior high school and high school, this seems to be his latest album released in December, and it is also said on the Internet that this is Jay Chou's last album. This undoubtedly touched him, but she didn't expect that she still knew that Han Yi liked Jay Chou, and she didn't expect her to give him this. Jiale sent a golden fountain pen, the packaging is very exquisite, he opened it and looked at it, the big pen head, is what he likes. I remember that when she graduated from high school, she asked Han Yi to write a list of classmates, and asked him to write a message in the best state, at least 800 words, and he had to use rice paper. This rigid requirement, he seemed to have to submit a college entrance examination essay, Han Yi seemed to say that there was no rice paper at the time, and he never thought that she would prepare it in advance. The reason is very simple, she said that Han Yi's words are very individual, and she also has a sense of beauty, she is an art candidate, learning to paint, and Han Yi is powerless to refute her beauty. Yuanyuan is a thousand paper cranes that she folded with her own hands, full of glass jars, saying that each paper crane has a sentence of chicken soup for the soul. He is very fond of this kind of hand-made things, because he likes to give homemade gifts.

"It's all so kind, thank you." Han Yi couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and said.

"If you like it, if you like. You said in the group not to give gifts, and we didn't want to, ahaha······ But after all, it's the first time to attend your birthday party, and it's not good to come empty-handed. Jia Le looked at Han Yi and said.

After arriving at the big private room, he introduced the three of them to the other friends one by one, and Hiroko said that he had seen Jiale, and indeed Hiroko was there when she came to see me at school. "When did you remember so well? Don't talk to people, greet people well! Han Yi reprimanded Bozi: "Today you are a waiter!" ”

A few boys were playing billiards, the mahjong table was also full of four people, two microphones were also occupied, there were also a few girls sitting on the two swings on the balcony, and there were three or four boys sitting around the round table chatting about something, and a few lying on the sofa playing with mobile phones. are all old classmates, so they don't need Han Yi to greet them one by one. All but two roommates arrived. I Han Yi called, they said that they had gotten off the car, Han Yi asked them to take a taxi to come directly, and they didn't pick it up, it would be faster.

The dining table is a large round table, fortunately, it is also big enough, but the problem is that not all of them can be seated, and a few students who are standing say that it doesn't matter, so that it is convenient to pick up vegetables, so that the meal is more lively, and this is indeed the case. Before starting, everyone first expressed their satisfaction and gratitude to Han Yi for his arrangement, and then raised a glass to wish him a happy birthday with Coke orange juice. This is not only his birthday party, but also the annual class reunion, and Mo Ti has no words how satisfied he is in his heart.

There was talk and laughter, and friends who had never met each other before and didn't know each other also began to talk to each other, playing small games collectively, and they were very happy.

Chen Kai, a roommate who rented a house off campus in the third year of high school, slipped to Han Yi's side and whispered to Han Yi: "Your female classmates are so beautiful!" They didn't even introduce us to these single dogs! ”

"Which one do you like again? Collect your fraternity. Han Yi said sarcastically and seriously. Because Chen Kai is too easy to fall in love with a girl, but he has always been single, maybe he just secretly likes to never confess, or his confession is rejected, he doesn't know why.

"Who do you like, I'll introduce it to you, add a WeChat chat slowly." Han Yi said seriously.

"The white coat one!" I looked in the direction of his finger and it was snow.

"Are you sure? The vision is quite high! She's very introverted, I'm afraid it's not easy, so you might as well just give up. Han Yi said to him hesitantly, more like persuading him to retreat. Han Yi did not mention that she had written a love letter to herself to confess. And Han Yi didn't pay attention to Bai Xue at that time, he didn't know that Bai Xue would enter his heart step by step.

"I'm sure! It's okay, just get acquainted, it's not going to happen, you don't know me yet! He kept pleading.

"I know you're a coward, but what if it happens? You see one and like the other, I'm afraid you'll hurt others. Han Yi tried his best to explain.

"You don't like people, do you?" He looked at Han Yi with a smile and evil eyes.

"You think too much, then I'm only responsible for introducing you, don't ask me anything else!" Han Yi compromised, but there should be no element of weakness, he really didn't like Bai Xue at this time, he didn't like it at all.

"Okay, three grams of oil!" Chen Kai was so happy that he left with his mouth closed, and said that he would let Han Yi help him later.

After the meal, Yang Ke sat on the mahjong table, and Hiroko and several other college classmates were his military advisors, watching the battle from behind. Seven or eight high school classmates were rolling the dice to play truth or dare, and Han Yi pushed the three female classmates into them and played together. Sitting on the balcony swing, Chen Kai also ran in and participated in it.

Han Yi was like a patrolling security guard, wandering around and talking one by one. Suddenly, he found that there was still a wheat empty, so he quickly grabbed it in his hand, and Mai Ba's true nature was exposed. clicked on "I Can", which I wanted to sing before but was rejected by Fu Bo, and then completely ignored others and began to sing. Many classmates stared at him from time to time, and he responded with a smile, whether he listened to him or not, and on happy days, he just sang. After singing, first heard sparse applause and shouts, followed by collective shouts and applause, and everyone let go of what they were doing. Instantly, I was a little embarrassed. Then I ordered a song "Red Sun", this song has a kind of magic, every time it will make the atmosphere of the scene explode, which can drive the atmosphere. Almost all the boys came up to the microphone and sang along.

"Oh

Fate is a displacement

Fate is twisted and bizarre

Even if fate threatens you, it's not interesting to be a human being

Don't shed tears and be sad, and don't give up

I would like to be with you forever for the rest of my life

······”

After singing the song, everyone gathered around and played Truth or Dare. Points are drawn with poker, and the penalty for choosing a small one is Truth or Dare, or the penalty for a refusal is three Cokes. I thought this game was boring before, and Han Yi basically wouldn't participate, but this time, I thought it was quite interesting, probably because there were so many familiar good friends to play with.

I don't know who suddenly turned off the lights, and with the birthday song that sounded, the waiter walked in with a cake, and everyone came over around Han Yi, singing to the beat of the music. asked him to make a wish and let him blow out the candles, and then gave gifts one after another, it turned out that they were all prepared in advance, just waiting for this moment. The scene made him so embarrassed for a while, he had never been so ceremonial as this, and he was a little uncomfortable.

At more than four o'clock, it began to end one after another, sending away batch after batch, and when he left, Chen Kai said that he didn't find a suitable opportunity to go to Bai Xue's WeChat, and asked Han Yi for her mobile phone number. Han Yi could only say that he wished him good luck.

When I got home, it was already six o'clock, and the other three good brothers were already at Han Yi's house. It has basically become a habit, and they will get together on his birthday, and they will go to his house to celebrate his birthday on this day in the past three years. Originally, they were asked to attend the party together, but Qinglian and Chengwu said that they couldn't go if there was something, and Ze also said that he was too lazy to go alone, so he simply got the three of them together. It was also Chinese New Year's Eve, his parents made a table of home-cooked food, his sister bought a small cake, and his brothers bought him a set of pens and two diaries. Because the little nephew is only a few months old, it is inconvenient to go back and forth, and my sister said that she will not come back for the Chinese New Year this year, and she will come back when the weather is a little warmer, and the child is a little older.

After dinner, my parents and sister were watching TV and chatting. He was about to say that there was only one computer and two notebooks in this house, and only three people could open the black, but he didn't expect them to be prepared in advance, bring laptops, and start playing games together after arranging the formation. After playing a handful, I saw that Bai Xue was online among my game friends, and left me a message if I wanted to play together. When Han Yi told several brothers that this girl's ladder points were almost 2,000 points, they were all dumbfounded, and hurriedly said, "Don't play with her, let's just swim in the fish pond together." ”

"Do you have a trumpet? I'm playing at home with three brothers, and I just add you to one to make five people black. If you don't hit the ladder, you won't be able to carry it and lose points. Han Yi replied.

"It's okay, let's play together." Do people who play the game well type so fast? Han Yi likes and admires such a second reply.

"No, no, no, you still use the trumpet, we just mix up 1,200 points all year round, and occasionally rank 1,45. It's okay if you're there, but we're beating you sadly. Han Yi picked the keyboard very seriously and sent it out.

"Okay, you wait for me a while." Same second reply.

"Behave well, don't play too much, let a girl laugh at you!" Han Yi said proudly, as if he was the master.

"Is it that powerful? I haven't met a girl playing DOTA, and the ladder score is so high, are you sure she didn't buy the number? Ze asked Han Yi with great skepticism.

"I lined up with her twice a few days ago, and it's really amazing. She has a lot of games very good.,You play LOL now, she hasn't been playing for long, and now it's an electric diamond.,The dance troupe we played at the beginning.,I saw her dance bpm197's song "I Sing This Song For You" with my own eyes.,It's very easy.,Think about it, we just play a 120 to 140 and don't feel like they can keep up.。 You'll find out later. Han Yi seemed to be a salesman, making them believe that she was indeed very strong!

"Damn, this shadow demon has gone berserk again······" Qinglian stopped what he was doing, stared at the screen and said in surprise. Then the public screen played one: "strong", Han Yi then played "+1", Cheng Wu also played "+1", Ze actually played "I want to increase the difficulty!" ”

"How do you lie down comfortably?!" Han Yi smiled, feeling that the operator of this shadow demon was like playing by himself, but in fact, he was a soy sauce player.

"No, let's make it more difficult, I'll play a super soy sauce ice girl and don't be passive, send it a few more times, and see if I can lie down!" Ze seems to be iron-hearted.

Unconsciously played four or five games, Ze was also convinced, and several of them were really tired, so they were ready to go offline.

"I won't fight today. I'm going down, so you should rest early. Han Yi sent these words out in the chat box of his game friend with admiration.

"Okay." Two words flashed on the screen.

"By the way, thank you for the invitation and hospitality today, and I wish you a happy birthday and good night again." Then another row of words popped up.

"Bye-bye" Han Yi unhurriedly picked out two words, and then went offline. Glancing at the time in the lower right corner, it was almost 12 o'clock.

This is also the most typing and chatting between Han Yi and Bai Xue in more than two years, except for inviting her to a birthday party, he has never been in touch.

Can anyone imagine four big boys sleeping in one bed? But they seem to be used to it, and the junior high school is crowded like this. Even if it is Han Yi's two-meter by two-meter bed, to be honest, it can't accommodate four people. Fortunately, Han Yi's mother had already prepared a quilt in advance and laid out the sofa. Qinglian kicked Cheng Wu down, "Just play with your mobile phone, go sleep on the sofa" and then laughed wildly and hugged the quilt tightly, for fear of Wu's counterattack. "Okay, okay, I sleep on the sofa, I just can't sleep and watch TV." While walking in a gray way, he was playing with his mobile phone, because Cheng Wu was the youngest of them, and for Han Yi and Lian Lian, who were late readers, although they were at the same level, they were more than two years older than him, which became the reason for them to "bully" him.

On this day, there are too many touches, the friendship that has not changed for many years, and the mutual understanding has not changed. The only regret that made Han Yi feel was that he did not receive Zhong Yinger's blessing. In fact, he thought about telling her, "Today is my birthday." Don't you give me a word of blessing? "But is this begging pity really what he wants?

And the official meeting with Bai Xue this time has countless more stories in the future.
