Chapter 31: The Birthday Party

A fashionably dressed boy entered the door with a bag on his back and threw the basketball in his arms towards Zhai Yi.

Zhai Yi caught it, and the boy said loudly: "The gift is for you." ”

"Tao Chengxuan, an old basketball will send Zhai Yi's coming-of-age ceremony away."

The boy named Tao Chengxuan looked back, "That's right." ”

A boy standing beside Zhai Yi leaned his head over and couldn't help exclaiming, "Tie the stick!" (Awesomely) Kobe's signature. ”

"Really?" Even girls who don't know basketball know Kobe's name. After all, Kobe Bryant is the youth of the post-90s.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"This gift is so precious." Zhai Yi raised the basketball in his hand towards Tao Chengxuan, "Thank you." ”

"Zhai Yi......" A girl walked over, "Tao Chengxuan gimmicked, (eye-catching, taking the limelight) But my gift is not bad, right?" ”

The package opens and inside is a HiFi headset.

"Chameleon ......" someone exclaimed, "Fei Shuangshuang, you are really willing to ......"

"Witnessing Zhai Yi's 18-year-old souvenir, of course, can't be sloppy."

Everyone took out their gifts one after another to give to Zhai Yi.

"You guys are too wasteful...... Zhai Yi hurriedly said: "I accepted the gift, and then look at it slowly......"

"It's open now." A boy said, "Pick your favorite gift, and you can play a song alone for the person who gave the gift in return, okay?" ”

Before Zhai Yi could speak, Yang Wendong jumped out at this moment and said loudly: "That must be mine!" Zhai Yi, I want to order the tune myself, just play the childhood classic "Gourd Baby", right? ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

"Yang Wendong, what did you send? So confident. ”

"If you open it and take a look, you'll know."

Zhai Yi saw him with a narrow face, and couldn't help but say, "It's definitely not a good thing." "When you don't want to open it anymore.

Everyone persuaded one after another, but Zhai Yi remained unmoved. As a result, Yang Wendong opened the box by himself, and everyone gathered around to take a look, and what he hooked up with his index finger was a pair of CK's men's underwear!

Zhai Yi's head was full of black lines.

"We've been in the toilet together for so long, I can guess your size......" Before he finished speaking, Zhai Yi picked up a piece of cake and gagged him.

The audience laughed non-stop.

Mother Zhai's face turned green. But Father Zhai just looked at the vitality of these young people with tolerance and kindness.

Rushing Yu was grateful, she knew that Yang Wendong thought she didn't bring a gift, so she made such a fuss.

Because of Yang Wendong, the birthday party directly entered the stage of eating cake.

Zhai's mother prepared a Western-style tea break, drinks and pastries and steak pipes.

Rushing rain sat down next to the rosary, and after a while, the rosary was pulled over by Lu Jian and asked her to play a song. Someone went to call Zhai Yi again, but he waved his hand and said to a boy in the crowd: "Luo Wanghuai, you play the piano well, you play a "March of the Army" with four hands in a row." ”

"What is the difficulty of Schubert's March of the Army", someone said, "What about the Hungarian Dances?" ”

Luo Wanghuai walked over and nodded to the rosary. The rosary returned the salute, and Luo Wanghuai sat down, "No. 5? ”

"Okay, F sharp." Rosary said.

Luo Wanghuai made a "please" gesture to her.

The fingers of the two people slowly land on the black and white keys like a light bird, and the freedom of speed change reflects different tastes. Although it is the first time to cooperate, Luo Wanghuai embodies a gentlemanly demeanor, cooperating with girls to speed up or slow down the finger speed, and people who understand music theory listen not only to the music, but also to the interaction between the two.

"It's a tacit understanding."

Fei Shuangshuang searched for Zhai Yi with her eyes, only to see him walking towards a corner.

"Thank you for coming today."

The rain turned her head to follow the sound, only to find that Zhai Yi had come to her at some point.

"Happy birthday." Rushing Rain took out a small box from his bag and handed it to him, "The gift is meager, please don't dislike it." ”

Zhai Yi was slightly surprised, and after taking it, he raised his glass to the torrential rain with a smile.

Rushing Rain replied with a cup. The two clinked glasses slightly.

"Come on." Rushing rain said softly, "I know, you've always wanted to be admitted to H City." ”

She looked at the faces in the room, "There are many of your friends waiting for you." So, be sure to keep up the good work! ”

"What about you?" Zhai Yi asked her, "This time next year, you will take the college entrance examination, where do you want to get in?" ”

"I don't know." Torrential Rain calmly told him what he hoped in his heart, "The less tuition, the better." The closer to home, the better. ”

She will definitely not be able to go to military school. Jin Minghai had a criminal record when he was young, and it was precisely because of this that his grandfather would desperately prevent his daughter from associating with him.

And Chen Yuyao ...... The political examination of military schools is particularly strict, and under a certain age, you are not allowed to marry. Marriage must also be approved.

"What is your ideal?" He asked suddenly.

Rushing Rain smiled, "You've asked similar questions. I also answered you. ”

Zhai Yi was a little surprised, recalled it carefully, and then said, "That's a New Year's wish." Aspirations and ideals are two different things. ”

Torrential Rain sighed, "An ideal that can't be realized can only be called a dream." In general, I only think about what is possible. For example, go to a better university, study a good major, and find a job with a good salary. That's it, am I both boring and realistic? ”

Zhai Yi shook his head, and then he said, "I want to be a doctor." ”

"A hand that can play the piano can also hold a scalpel." Rushing rain praised sincerely, "It's handsome." ”

"Have you ever thought about going to medicine?" He asked, "Medicine is a good specialty, and the doctor's salary is not bad." ”

Rushing Rain shook his head, "...... I fainted blood. Can't go to medicine. ”

Even she herself never thought that ten years later, she would become a pharmacist.

"Zhai Yi, as the protagonist, if you don't present a song for everyone, it will definitely be unreasonable." Luo Wanghuai said in a loud voice, and the audience responded positively to his words.

Zhai Yi listened, put down the cup with a smile, and walked towards the middle of the field.

As a result, when I sat down, the slender box in my pocket fell out. It was a gift from Torrential Rain.

Luo Wanghuai picked it up quickly and handed it to him: "Your things have fallen." ”

Zhai Yi hurriedly took it and put it on the edge of the music table closest to him.

This move may seem ordinary, almost a no-brainer. But those who know Zhai Yi know that he has always cherished his piano, and he has never allowed others to put things on the piano table.

"Who gave this a gift?" Fei Shuangshuang walked over, "I'll take it for you." ”

"No need to ......" Zhai Yi glanced at the audience, and repeated in a soft voice, "No." ”

Fei Shuangshuang couldn't help but raise her voice, "Yo, such a baby." ”

Zhai Yi and she have known each other since they were four years old, and they are classmates in kindergarten. Seeing his solemn face, she became more and more interested, "Then I must take it apart and take a look." What is in it that makes us Zhai Gongzi so nervous? ”

Rushing rain was a little uncomfortable on his face, and Zhai Yi looked even more embarrassed, getting up from the piano and reaching out to grab it, but Fei Shuangshuang turned sideways to avoid it.

"Frost, don't make a fuss." Tao Chengxuan said, "We're waiting to hear Zhai Yi play the piano." ”

Fei Shuangshuang listened, but instead opened the packaging box three times and five by two, Zhai Yi didn't have time to stop it, and his eyes changed.

I only heard Fei Shuangshuang raise her voice and said, "Who sent this?" An old Pike pen. ”

The rosary looked at the torrential rain. can make Zhai Yi so precious, the answer is obvious.

Zhai Yi gently snatched the pen from Fei Shuangshuang's hand, pinned it to his shirt in public, and then sat down in front of the piano, ready to play solo: "Summe by Hisaishi."

- To 18-year-olds, to this summer. His gaze swept over the crowd one by one, and finally rested on the face of the torrential rain, and then he finished speaking: "To you." ”

The melody of this piece is clean, pure and brilliant, like a wind chime by the window, swaying and making bursts of crisp and pleasant sounds. In the hot summer, the breeze blows, and everything is so fresh and natural.

Torrential Rain was as intoxicated by the beauty as everyone else, and suddenly her phone vibrated in her bag, and although it was not loud, it seemed a little abrupt.

She took it out and saw that it was Chen Yuyao calling. So he took his mobile phone and walked from the living room to the courtyard of the bungalow.

"Hey ......"

"Where are you?" Chen Yuyao faintly heard the sound of the piano and applause.

"I'm attending a classmate's birthday party."

"Oh, remember to go back early."

"Okay."

Rushing rain hung up the phone, and Zhai Yi's piano music was nearing the end.

When she returned to the field, Zhai Yi's eyes immediately caught her, and she felt relieved to meet her.

"Eat fruit, eat fruit...... Mother Zhai brought plates of fruits to the table, and the rosary helped to place them on the side.

Zhai Yi walked towards the torrential rain, and the old fountain pen was still pinned to the snow-white shirt pocket, quite like the bookish atmosphere of the old son.

"This fountain pen ......," Zhai Yi glanced down at it, "it's an old object." ”

"Hmm." Torrential Rain bit her lip, "I haven't used it once." It was so old when it came to me, my grandfather said it was an antique. ”

Zhai Yi obviously misunderstood, "Was it left to you by your grandfather?" This is too precious......"

No. This fountain pen was awarded to her by Uncle Situ. At that time, she scored a double hundred points in the exam, and it happened that Uncle Situ came to be a guest.

Sending a pen means "must be high school".

She sincerely hopes that Zhai Yi can get a good score in the exam. And this fountain pen is also the best gift that can be taken out.

The phone rang again, and she smiled apologetically at Zhai Yi, "I'm sorry", and then went out of the courtyard and pressed answer.

"I bought begonia cake and Qingtuan." Chen Yuyao said, "I guess you won't be able to eat it." Qingtuan, I put the refrigerator fresh-keeping layer, if you don't eat it tonight, you can put the freezer layer......"

"Torrential rain!" The rosary called out to her at the door, "I left you a bowl of yellow peach syrup, come and eat it!" ”

"Okay." Rushing Rain responded, "I'll be over right away after I answer the phone." ”

"The little square cake is out, you guys go quickly." Zhai Yi appeared behind the rosary, "Torrential rain, there is also sugar osmanthus filling, you hurry up and taste it." ”

"Good!" Rushing Rain smiled, "This is here." ”

She hurriedly asked Chen Yuyao, "What else?" ”

"Oh, no." Chen Yuyao said, "What's that...... You'll be you—I'll pick you up later, right? What time do you finish? ”

"At least until half past eight." Rushing rain said, "I'll send the address to your phone in a moment." ”

"Okay."

After the rain went back, he saw Luo Wanghuai smiling and saying something with the rosary, and left each other's numbers.

And Yang Wendong quarreled with Fei Shuangshuang, familiar like an old friend for many years.

She genuinely felt that she might have a social disability.

When the time came, the torrential rain did not stop long. After talking to the rosary and Zhai's mother, Zhai Yi sent him out.

"Where's my uncle?"

"My dad went down to buy mung bean soup." Zhai Yi said, "After you stay and drink, will you leave?" ”

Rushing Rain shook his head, "It's too late. ”

Zhai's mother also rushed over and personally delivered her to the door. She pulled Rush Rain and said kindly: "Rush Rain, thank you for coming over this time." ”

"Auntie, it's me who thank you for your hospitality." "I had a great time today. It's not too early, so I'll go back first. ”

"I'll send you." Zhai Yi said.

"No need, you're the protagonist, how can you leave." Torrential rain stopped: "18 years old, happy birthday." ”

As he spoke, Father Zhai came back with two large bags of mung bean soup in both hands.

"Uncle."

Father Zhai was a little dazed, reacted for a moment, and then said, "Why is this leaving?" ”

"Well, let's go." Torrential rain said, "It's too late to go back, it's not very convenient." ”

When Father Zhai heard this, he didn't keep her anymore.

Rushing rain said, "Zhai Yi, you don't have to send it." Uncle is carrying so many things, you can go in with him. ”

Zhai Yi nodded: "Goodbye, pay attention to safety on the road." ”

Torrential rain effortlessly found Chen Yuyao's car.

Chen Yuyao sat in the car, his arms resting on the window frame, smoking in silence.

This is the first time Torrential Rain has seen him smoke.

"What's wrong with you?" She sensed his displeasure.

"Nothing." Chen Yuyao snuffed out the cigarette butt, "Get in the car and go." ”

Rushing Yu didn't ask again, and sat in the co-pilot of the car according to Yan.

"Seat belts." Chen Yuyao reminded her.

The torrential rain actually didn't forget, she was a little surprised by Chen Yuyao's low pressure. She looked at him, and then stopped.

"What do you want to say?" Chen Yuyao asked.

"Let's go home." Torrential rain said.
