"Wow, Xiao Xinxin, you finally made a choice, poor Brother Chen, I sympathize with him." After Yin Jingshu let out a long sigh exaggeratedly, her eyes showed excitement and happiness again, "But I still want to bless you, in terms of conditions, Xiao Gongzi will definitely be stronger than Brother Chen, if you become a wealthy daughter-in-law in the future, don't forget to share some of our benefits." She couldn't find the slightest breath of depression in her body, and the impact of Qin Feng's engagement on her had dissipated without a trace.

In fact, after getting drunk at the RV holiday camp that night, she seemed to have "drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows", and when we met again, she had returned to her optimistic appearance, except for complaining that I was heavy on sex and light on friends, leaving her to go first. This is Yin Jingshu, she is always free and easy, and no worries can stay on her for a long time.

"Where have you gotten to, you haven't written a word yet." I couldn't help but laugh, "It's just a birthday cake, don't think too much about it." ”

"Don't worry, I will keep it secret for you, and I will make it public when the eight characters are written." She winked at me slyly, "But as hush money, you have to make me a cake too." ”

Naturally, I said yes.

When we spoke, Yu Meng was smiling and listening, but her smile couldn't dissolve the melancholy in her eyes, I knew that she was still suffering from emotional turmoil, I thought that the relatives from her hometown would make her relax and laugh a little, but after that, her state was even more depressed, and a pale and quiet little face always seemed extremely silent and melancholy. She wouldn't say anything to me about that man, but I knew that that person, that love was like a thorn in her heart, piercing deep into her heart, hurting her heart and lungs, but she couldn't pull it out.

On Xiao Se's birthday, I went to Yin Jingshu's dormitory at five o'clock in the morning, she opened the door for me as if sleepwalking, and immediately went back to sleep with my head covered. And I tinkered with it alone for hours, and finally finished a birthday cake that satisfied me. The cake is topped with honey beans that I made myself, and the cake is coated with cream, decorated with whipped cream, garnished with mangoes, strawberries and crushed chocolate, and the words "Happy Birthday Xiao Se" are squeezed with jam in the middle. I carefully packed the birthday cake, put it back in my dormitory, and went to the rehearsal to my heart's content.

After the rehearsal at 5:30 p.m., I couldn't wait to take out my mobile phone and call Xiao Se, but unexpectedly the mobile phone was turned off.

One of my hearts suddenly cooled half, he was still recuperating, he didn't want to be disturbed or changed his mobile phone number, and he didn't want to contact me anymore In desperation, I had to ask Mu Mian for help again, Mu Mian said that she was busy, and she would inquire and reply to me later when she was free. I told her not to reveal that I was asking, and I was going to give Xiao Se a surprise birthday present.

I went back to my dorm and sat on the small couch and waited. Raindrops pounded on the glass windows, and the sound was monotonous and lonely. The room was getting darker and darker, the air was freezing, and in my numb mind, a question kept appearing, like a slide show: What should I do if I can't get in touch with him, I miss him, and I desperately want to see him. For this day, I have seen through the autumn water, and I am really unwilling to give up like this.

Finally, the phone rang, and I pressed the answer button with trembling fingers.

"Tong Xin, Xiao Se is not in Haicheng, he went to Blue Mountain City, what can I do." Mu Mian said with deep regret, "I've been so busy these days, and I haven't contacted him, I just called his home to find out that he has been going to the Blue Mountains for many days, and he has a very good friend there, who is our junior high school classmate." That classmate bought a house in the Blue Mountains, and Xiao Se used to go to him when he came back from vacation, and lived with him. ”

A thought flashed through my mind, and I made a decision, one that was crazy to me. "Do you know the address of that friend's house?"

"You" Mu Mian paused slightly, and quickly said, "Wait a minute, I'll send you a text message." ”

After receiving the text message, I glanced at the time, it was close to 8 p.m., I didn't eat dinner, I didn't feel hungry, I simply packed my bag, took the birthday cake and left the dormitory.

I walked into the rain with my umbrella, and the cold, thick chill surrounded me, but I was hot all over, and my whole chest was hot. The night rain brought me a passion that was almost sour. Oh, Xiao Se called in my heart, I don't care about anything at the moment, my only wish is to say happy birthday to you in person, and let you taste the birthday cake I made myself.

It took nearly two hours by bus from Haicheng to Blue Mountain, and it was 10:40 p.m. when I arrived, and it was also raining in Blue Mountain, and the rain was heavier than Haicheng, so I stopped a taxi at the station and went straight to my destination. It was a large residential area, lined with high-rise buildings, with only vague and dull silhouettes in the dark night and rain and fog.

I was immersed in my own thoughts, and I walked thoughtfully and calmly, with my head raised and my eyes squinted, laboriously identifying the number of the building. Finally finding the building in the address, I walked under the eaves at the entrance of the building, put the umbrella on the ground, suppressed the beating heart, suppressed the unrestrained enthusiasm, and pressed the button of the building's electronic door lock. "Beo" is ringing, one, two, three times, each of which is torture for me, quick, come and answer

However, no one responded until the call stopped. I pressed the door number again, but no one answered. I looked at the time on my phone, it was 11:20, there were only 40 minutes left, Xiao Se's birthday was over, and I called for the third time without relenting.

Finally, the other party had a voice, a slurred, sleepy, male voice: "Hey"

"Hey" I suddenly had a cowardice, who is this Xiao Se's friend or Xiao Se I stumbled, "May I ask if Xiao Se is there?"

"Xiao Se" The other party seemed to be sober, "Xiao Se is not here, who are you looking for him, what's the matter?"

These words are like the heavy rain that pours down on the head of this night, and it is cold to the core. "Do you know where he is," I chimed in my last hope.

"Sorry, I don't know, you can give him a call and ask." The other party replied.

I had no choice but to call Xiao Se, but his phone was turned off, and my hopes were completely destroyed.

I stood blankly outside the door, the cold wind and rain were blowing in my face, and it was a misty darkness as far as I could see, and there was no one left.

In the middle of the stormy night, I came with enthusiasm, but I lost myself in this strange city. It was so late and there was no bus for the return trip, so I had to find a place to stay. I was helpless and desperate, I wanted to scream, and even wanted to cry. But I didn't do anything but stand there, staring at the empty night, and the clammy air. Listening to the sound of rain and wind, my mind became trance-like.

In a trance, a car drove by, and the light of the headlights shot at me through the rain and fog, and I covered my eyes with my hands. The car seemed to stop, and I took my hand away to see that it was a taxi, and someone got out of the car, opened an umbrella, and walked in my direction.

The car drove away, and it was dark again, except for a street lamp in front of me, which shone cold and faint in the rain.

I looked down at the birthday cake box that I had been carrying in my hand, and I felt a lot of sorrow. That's it, since God is unwilling to fulfill me and let me run this trip in vain, I can only accept the reality, find a place to stay, spend the night, and take the bus back to Haicheng early tomorrow morning.

The sound of footsteps came, and I thought it was the people who had just gotten out of the taxi living in this building, and everyone had a home, but I was the only one who was left behind. I looked up with a wry smile, but for a moment my heart was panting. The figure that was close at hand was clearly Xiao Se, and I suspected that I was hallucinating, so I rubbed my eyes with my hands.

"Tong Xin, why are you here" A familiar and surprised voice. I finally confirmed that it was not an illusion, and that standing in front of me was indeed the gloom that I had called out in my heart countless times tonight.

I was nervous and dazed. "I made a birthday cake Happy Birthday" I was already incoherent.

Xiao Se looked at me steadily, his young and beautiful face was pale, and his eyes were dark and shining. His jacket was covered with raindrops, and his hair was drenched by the rain, which dripped from a lock of black hair on his forehead. I saw surprise, confusion, and even incredulity in his eyes, but there was no element of surprise.

I was extremely disappointed, and I suppressed the bitterness in my heart, and the corners of my mouth barely supported a smile. "I'm here to deliver you a birthday cake, and since it's delivered, it's time for me to go." I held the rain-soaked cake box in both hands and sent it to him, "For the sake of me doing it myself and sending it all the way over, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

Xiao Se reached out and didn't take the cake box, but he grabbed my wrist, and it was so heavy that it almost hurt me. His eyes were strange, and he said in a forced, slightly irritated tone: "Where are you going so late?"

I gritted my teeth and was silent. My silence visibly uneasy him, his gaze on me grew more and more nervous, and his face became paler than before. I wanted to speak, but I couldn't, I just felt suffocated and flustered.

Finally, he slammed his head and dropped a lot of droplets. He said in a dumb voice, "You gave me a big surprise, Tong Xin." I don't know how to express my excitement. ”

Our eyes were intertwined, and a wave of heat rushed into my eye sockets, blurring my vision, and I saw only his long figure, fixed there like a fossil. I heard my own voice, weak and weak, but I couldn't hide my joy: "I thought I was going to run this trip for nothing, but I didn't expect to see you before 12 o'clock." ”
