The sun at the end of April has hung in the sky, the beautiful April days in the world are about to go away, the fragrant flowers in April will be exhausted, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple will bloom, and there are only two days before the May Day labor holiday.

April is pretty good! The distance between Liang Chen and Xue Jiao seems to be farther and closer, occasionally the chat between classes will suddenly be awkwardly still, and the two will end with an inexplicable awkward smile, all the previous relationships seem to have been overturned, Liang Chen and her are becoming more and more strange, and the sweet little days are only looking forward to May.

At the beginning of Wednesday, in the last self-study class of the afternoon, Xue Jiao's upper and lower lips fought, and she was not so attentive to Liang Chen's English tutoring, she was distracted to think about another thing, it was her birthday after Labor Day. Xue Ji's birthday is based on the solar calendar, while most of Liang Chen's birthdays are on the lunar calendar, and the date fluctuates every year. Xue Ji was hesitating to tell Liang Chen, but the time was too close, and Liang Chen had to make trouble.

Xue Ji felt that Liang Chen needed to be troubled, and she wanted Liang Chen to be busy for herself for a while.

"It's my second birthday in May, are you coming?" Xue Jiao's mouth was like inviting an extremely important person, and her words were full of fish stalks in her throat, she seemed to be hiding her uncertainty, Liang Chen, a fool, always had a lot of unwarranted reasons to shirk.

"Come on! Why don't you come? Liang Chen felt that Xue Ji was a little strange, and the tone of her speech was not like inviting Liang Chen to her birthday party, but more like the nervousness and weakness of seeking skin with the tiger.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Liang Chen asked Xue Ji with concern.

"Nope!" There was a bit of relief hidden in Xue Jiao's smirk, and she didn't understand what was wrong with her.

"Didn't you?" Liang Chen's expression was full of doubts, and Liang Chen handed over the cloze he had written, and said, "Then you can help me answer in English." ”

Xue Ji kept a smiling face, her smile service was really rare, every time it made Liang Chen pay a heavy price, she took Liang Chen's English test paper, turned her head, and suddenly turned her head suddenly, and said solemnly: "Remember my birthday gift." ”

Xue Ji is unceremonious, Liang Chen still likes her unwelcome, even if his master Chen Wen, Liang Chen's subconscious cognition of such a Sichuan and Shu woman, it is inevitable that there are small shortcomings of women's hidden intentions, occasionally like a poem as hazy as a hint, the most difficult thing for men to guess is the woman's mind, and the needle in a woman's heart is by no means an empty theory in a book but a real experience.

Liang Chen smiled and made an OK gesture and said, "You are satisfied." ”

Liang Chen impulsively boasted that he was satisfied, and he regretted it at two o'clock in the morning, he thought about this matter for a long time, but after all, he still had no clue, Liang Chen, who claimed to be well-versed in the world, had no idea, so he had to sleep in a dream to meet an answer. In Thursday's morning self-study, Liang Chen's head hit the table several times, and after drinking two cups of hot water, Liang Chen's sleepiness still did not diminish in the slightest. He got through the five classes in the morning, and during the holidays, Xue Ji specially reminded Liang Chen not to let her pigeon go, and she even raised her clenched fist.

After the holiday, Liang Chen ate a bowl of beef noodles in the noodle restaurant, and then pulled Du Ruo around Shihe twice, the huge Shihe did not have anything that satisfied Liang Chen, he was a little disappointed, no, Liang Chen was extremely disappointed, on the car back to his hometown, he actually felt that he was a little sorry for Xue Jiao, and his first promise was going to go with Bo Dongliu.

Liang Chen sighed in the car, looking at Du Ruo, who was sleeping on his right shoulder, an infinite gap rose in his heart, he was so upset, Du Ruo was not worried at all, he shook his shoulders and woke up the sleeping Du Ruo.

Du Ruo woke up with his eyes still squinting, and his mouth was full of resentment, "Big brother, I slept at two o'clock last night, and I also walked around the Shihe River with you inexplicably. ”

"You slept on my shoulder." Liang Chen looked at Du Ruo, who was slumped in the car seat, and refused.

"I've slept all over, what's wrong with leaning on it for a while." Du Ruo opened his eyelids a little and said eloquently.

"Liang Zi, I didn't expect you two to have developed to this extent." The junior high school classmates in the same car stood up from the front seat and laughed and teased Liang Chen.

"Lao Tzu still slept with you!" Liang Chen covered his face and turned him around.

"What's the matter, I'm so angry today." Du Ruo lay on his side in his seat and asked in a low voice.

"Hey! Xue Ji is having a birthday, and I'm worried about her birthday present. Liang Chen sighed.

"Feel free to send it! She likes you anyway, and she likes whatever you send. Du Ruo felt that Liang Chen was very stupid, he actually bothered for a gift for a long time, and wasted a lot of his precious time, he mocked Liang Chen in his heart that Liang Chen was locked by a girl, he usually pointed out the situation of other people's love, strategized, and he was just a clown who jumped off the beam when he entered the love situation.

"Dad usually teaches you to treat your loved ones with sincerity and sincerity, how can you give anything casually!" Liang Chen clapped his hands and educated Du Ruo, who was half awake and half asleep.

Liang Chen was actually waiting for Du Ruo to give him an answer, his love history was blank after all, even if he had come up with countless ideas for others, but when it was Liang Chen's turn, he couldn't use any of his own tricks, Liang Chen's heart always felt that any method was deceiving Xue Ji with a clear conscience.

"Hey! Then you can send something that Xue Ji likes, and then use your expertise to write some literary sentences. Du Ruo said impatiently in his sleep.

"This has already been written, nothing new." Liang Chen shook his head and replied.

"Liangzi, you're in love." The one in the front seat was slapped back by Liang Chen again, and he was in no mood to pay attention to this gossiping friend.

"Send a big white bear, fold a thousand paper cranes and put them inside." Du Ruo replied weakly.

"This is too time-consuming, what year and month will it take to finish!" Liang Chen once again denied Du Ruo's idea.

"Hehe, that's the idea you gave me last time." Du Ruo's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Liang Chen resentfully.

"I came up with an idea." Liang Chen looked at Du Ruo's somewhat terrifying eyes, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and said, "Why don't we make a lantern!" The materials for making lanterns during the winter vacation last time happened to be not used up, and I took a very sincere gift with me. ”

Liang Chen snapped his fingers and smiled, feeling to himself how clever and witty he was.

"So I can't sleep again, can I?" Du Ruo said with extreme resentment: "Only a fool like you thinks this gift is good. ”

"When did I Liang Chen plant a heel." Liang Chen said confidently.

When they got home, Liang Chen and Du Ruo were busy at Old Man Li's house! Liang Chen took a scimitar and cut back a bitter bamboo of just the right thickness in the bamboo forest in the old courtyard, and Old Man Li helped them cut the bamboo and trimmed a rough skin with a scimitar. Liang Chen designed the length of the bamboo strips on the rice paper, he was like a strict craftsman, when he was a child, when the old man Li taught Liang Chen to weave these handicrafts, he never told him that he only needed to feel, and the early planning and design was learned by Liang Chen after watching "Little Dragon Club". Liang Chen's craftsman skills were actually taught by his grandfather, who was not only a farmer but also a half-carpenter, and he taught Liang Chen to weave the simplest bamboo baskets and bamboo mats.

Liang Chen began to cut the bamboo strips, and when Du Ruo retrieved the remaining materials, Liang Chen's hands began to shuttle and cross, and in about half an hour, he had already set up the skeleton of the lantern and Old Man Li and Du Ruo also adjusted the paste, Liang Chen took the brush and brushed the paste evenly on the surface of the skeleton, Du Ruo then lightly attached the cut cotton gauze to the lamp stand, Liang Chen brushed a layer of paste on the pasted cotton gauze, and then glued two layers of single light paper, and then Du Ruo's art was behind.

Du Ruo wrote on the red rice paper one by one - Happy birthday Xue Jiao, in order to write down six words, Liang Chen deliberately made the lantern bigger, Du Ruo was already sweating profusely after writing six golden regular scripts, he hadn't written regular script seriously for a long time, and Du Ruo, who decided that indulging in swaying was his true color, was patient enough today.

Old man Li rarely opened the golden mouth and praised Du Ruo, his six words are already the pinnacle of his regular script career, and being vigorous and upright is Lao Li's last comment.

Liang Chen was very satisfied, when the night slowly fell, he put the only remaining small lamp into the lantern, the small lamp is like an electric lamp but it is the kind with a battery, the dim yellow light illuminates the six big characters after the hollowing, the pale golden Xue Ji stands in front of him, it is so quiet and warm in the dark night.

Liang Chen kept nodding his head, very satisfied with his gift, sure enough, he was never a simple layman, he worked hard and was busy, and he was a beautiful woman.

Liang Chen had a good night's sleep, and he smiled upwards in his dream.
