Jiang Manman stood at the bottom of the corridor, faintly hearing the sound of talking in the living room next door, then the sound of Lin Wanxiu saying goodbye to Juan and the car driving away, and then there was silence, only a long, long shadow mopping the floor under his feet was accompanying him.

Jiang Manman sniffed and returned to the dining table, the table was full of dishes of various styles still steaming, and a few idle dishes and chopsticks were still placed by himself ten minutes ago, Jiang Manman was no longer in the mood to go to the next door to call someone to eat.

In order to celebrate his fourteenth birthday, he was left alone at dinner, and Jiang Manman's expectations for the day were all gone, and he sat down in disappointment, and the dishes he usually argued for to eat seemed to have no taste in his mouth, and it was difficult to swallow.

After finishing dinner taskingly, when the dishes were cold, Jiang Manman put all the dishes that hadn't been moved much into the refrigerator, and then dragged up the stairs.

In the past, Lin Wanxiu and Jiang Keqin would prepare gifts before this day and put them in their rooms, Jiang Manman happily went to his parents' room to find a gift as soon as he finished eating the cake, and immediately opened it excitedly after finding it.

Jiang Manman knew that there must be gifts in the room this year, but he didn't bother to rummage through them, so he sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV.

There were crying and laughing on TV, there was heat and noise, Jiang Manman hugged the pillow and watched, the more he watched, the more it was not a taste, and his feet were also cold.

After watching it for less than twenty minutes, Jiang Manman went back to his room and threw himself on the bed, and as soon as he hit the bed, his eyes immediately became sour, and his heart swelled.

She knew that her grandmother's illness was an urgent matter, and she was also very worried, but she couldn't convince herself not to be sad.

This is the first time that Jiang Manman has not had a birthday without Jiang Keqin and Lin Wanxiu by his side, the first time that there is no lively blessing, and the first time there is no sweet and greasy cake.

The more Jiang Manman thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and his vision slowly became blurred.

Even today's night doesn't give Jiang Manman face, in the past, the silver moonlight could shine into the room, but today there is nothing, and if you don't turn on the light, it's dark.

Jiang Manman fumbled for a while, pulled the big bear leaning on the side of the bed, and hugged him tightly.

This two-meter bear was given by Jiang Xiuqi on Jiang Manman's birthday last year, and Jiang Xiuqi's height was not as tall as it is now. Jiang Manman was talking about Sakuragi Flower Road every day, and while chattering, Jiang Xiuqi's size was less than Sakuragi Flower Road's shoulder, Jiang Xiuqi was angry, and he hugged Jiang Manman this two-meter-tall bear on last year's Double Eleven, pointing to the bear's nose and saying to Jiang Manman, he would definitely grow as tall as this bear.

Jiang Manman placed the bear on his bed, and every time he saw it, he felt funny.

"This idiot...... How can it grow to two meters......"

When Jiang Manman thought of this incident this time, he not only wanted to laugh, but also wanted to cry.

No one has ever accompanied him on this year's birthday, not even Jiang Xiuqi......

Jiang Manman's heart was sad and broke the embankment, holding the big bear and crying in the dark, he couldn't breathe, his heart was stuffy, and he couldn't vent no matter how he cried, just like he was in a hurry to untie a nine-link, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't find the rules, and the more he couldn't find the rules, the more anxious he was.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Manman was tired of crying, and he gradually fell asleep while holding the bear, and heard a knock on the door in a daze.

"Knock knock—"
