Chapter 3: Happy Birthday

Lin Fan took Cheng Ming and Ke'er to the depths of the supermarket, there was a door here, which happened to block the back of a shelf, so Cheng Ming didn't find it a few times before, Lin Fan pushed the door open, didn't rush in, but turned around and waved to Ke'er, signaling Ke'er to go in first.

Ke'er saw Lin Fan signaling to her, and didn't go in immediately, but looked back at Cheng Ming, Cheng Ming was also a little uneasy, but he was curious about how Lin Fan survived, and hesitated for a long time before pulling Ke'er behind him and walking in first.

Chen Ming walked into the room, looked around, the room was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, Cheng Ming turned around and saw Ke'er and Lin Fan walking in, Lin Fan also closed the door carefully, and his movements were very careful, lest he make a loud noise.

Lin Fan closed the door, and took out a small flashlight from somewhere, shining it inside.

At this time, Cheng Ming vaguely saw the inside of the room by the light of the flashlight, this should be the office of the former supermarket, although there is garbage and scattered mess everywhere outside, but the outline of the desk and chair can still be seen.

"You've always lived here?" Cheng Ming asked in a puzzled whisper.

Lin Fan didn't speak, but took the flashlight and walked to the corner inside, where there were several large boxes, Lin Fan took out a box of biscuits from the box and handed it to Ke'er, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Ke'er couldn't help but swallow when she saw the biscuit, but she still resisted the temptation and pushed it back.

"My name is Kerr, and my dad said that you can't just take strangers' things."

Although Ke'er said no, his eyes were still staring at the box of biscuits, Cheng Ming saw this, his heart was sour, and he sighed in his heart.

"Take it, Ke'er, this is Lin Fan's birthday gift to you."

"Really?" Ke'er looked at Cheng Ming happily, and then turned back to stare at Lin Fan, Lin Fan was stunned by Ke'er's staring, his face turned red instantly, and he stammered.

"Today~ Today is your birthday, so I wish you a happy birthday."

Ke'er happily took the biscuit, said thank you sweetly, and was about to open the box, but at this moment, Lin Fan suddenly called.

"Wait!"

Ke'er stopped his hand about to tear open the box and looked at Lin Fan suspiciously, and Cheng Ming also looked at Lin Fan suspiciously. Lin Fan hurriedly walked to the desk in the corner, slowly opened the drawer, took out a handful of candles on the cake from it, and walked back.

"But~ Ke'er, how old are you this year?"

"Three years old", Ke'er looked at Lin Fan suspiciously, and Lin Fan counted out three candles from the candles in his hand and handed them to Ke'er.

"I'm 5 years old, I'm older than you, you have to call me brother, Sister Ke'er."

Ke'er looked at the three thin candles in his hand and didn't know what to do, looked at Lin Fan suspiciously, and asked.

"Brother Lin Fan, what are you giving me candles for?"

"Mom said that on her birthday, she would put a few candles on the cake. But I don't know what cake is, my mother used to stick it in the cookie box for me, and I think the cake my mother said was the box. ”

Ke'er looked back at Cheng Ming, Cheng Ming smiled and nodded at her, but she was stunned in her heart, once upon a time, cakes were so ordinary for them, and these children.

Then he touched Kerr's head and said to Kerr.

"Your brother Lin Fan is right, there were no conditions before, this time I will give you a good birthday, you have to thank Brother Lin Fan."

After hearing this, Ke'er said sweetly to Lin Fan, "Thank you, Brother Lin Fan." After speaking, he also kissed Lin Fan's face.

Lin Fan's face turned even redder in an instant, a little overwhelmed, Cheng Ming looked funny, and he was very happy in his heart, his daughter has been on the run since she was born, and she has never seen other children of the same age, although Ke'er has always been very well-behaved, but Cheng Ming knows in his heart how pitiful such a childhood is, now it's okay, with Lin Fan here, Ke'er at least has a playmate.

Cheng Ming took the candle in Ke'er's hand, drilled three holes in the box with a knife, carefully inserted the candle on the biscuit box, and then lit the candle, and Lin Fan also turned off the flashlight, and the three candles were left in the whole room with a faint light shining on the three of them.

"I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday~~~~" The immature children's voice sounded, it was Lin Fan who sang, looking at the two cute little guys, Cheng Ming also sang in a low voice, "I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday."

"Sister Kerr made a wish, and then blew out the candle."

"Make a wish?" Ke'er was a little incomprehensible, turned her head to look at Cheng Ming, who was already sitting on the ground, Cheng Ming touched Ke'er's head and said.

"Making a wish is what you want most, or what you want to do."

With an understanding look on her face, Kerr said to the candle.

"I hope I can eat cookies every day, so many biscuits, so that my father and Brother Lin Fan can eat so much." After saying that, he blew out the candle in one go.

Cheng Ming heard Ke'er's wish, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, this era is really evil, the wish of a child who should be innocent, but he can only get cookies and be able to eat, why does God treat these children like this, giving them life, but not giving them a good childhood.

Lin Fan turned on the flashlight again, took off the candle and put it aside, tore open the packaging box, took out the biscuits from it and handed them to Ke'er, and handed Cheng Ming a packet, Cheng Ming took the biscuits, barely squeezed out a smile, tore open the package and ate it.

Cheng Ming just ate a little, and the rest was left for the two children, although Lin Fan was not very old, but he was very good at taking care of people, when Ke'er ate the second biscuit, he didn't know where to take out a bottle of water and handed it to Ke'er, and said "Sister Ke'er, eat slowly, drink some water first, be careful of choking." ”

After eating the biscuits, Cheng Ming looked at the watch in his hand, which was given to him by his wife, and he had been carrying it with him for the past three years, which was also a thought.

The time on the watch was already more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon, because it was already afternoon when he came out of the bomb shelter, so Cheng Ming was not too surprised to see the time, just thinking that it seemed that he was going to spend the night here tonight, so he took out the futon from his backpack and spread it in the corner of the room.

Lin Fan watched Cheng Ming's move, and also pulled his futon from the corner and spread it next to Cheng Ming's futon.

After laying out the futon, Cheng Ming took out a relatively thick candle from his bag, put it on the ground, lit it, and motioned to Lin Fan to turn off the flashlight to save batteries.

After cleaning up, Cheng Ming let Lin Fan and Ke'er lie in the futon, and let him sit on the outside by the door.

"Lin Fan, have you always lived here alone?"

"Yes, I've been hiding here since my parents were taken away, but fortunately, I have food saved by my parents, so I haven't gone out."

Cheng Ming sighed secretly, it's really hard for this child, a child lives here alone, it's not just lonely, even an adult may not be able to stand such loneliness, let alone a child.

Cheng Ming still wanted to ask something, but when he turned around, he found that the two children had fallen asleep, perhaps because there had been no adults by his side for a long time, Lin Fan at this time hugged Cheng Ming's arm tightly and slept soundly.
