Chapter 13: Birthday Presents

I remember what I said that day, and I remember that the scene was too beautiful that day.

- Xie Xiaonuan

On a Friday in the early winter, after an exam, Xu Jingjing asked Xie Xiaonuan to sit in the bubble tea shop opposite the school.

Xu Jingjing bit the straw for a long time and finally spoke: "One day on the way to school, I saw He Yunye walking with a girl talking and laughing, and the girl smiled beautifully. ”

"I'm scared, Xiao Nuan, I don't even dare to catch up and ask clearly, because I don't have that qualification." After speaking, he lowered his head, and tears fell into the cup, splashing in circles.

Xie Xiaonuan didn't know how to speak, so she had to listen to her quietly.

Xu Jing whispered a lot, how to imagine the dating scene with anticipation, and then the hope was disappointed, like pouring bitter water, and finally stopped crying.

"I'm much better, Xiao Nuan. Fortunately, you have been with me all the time. Xu Jingjing smiled, but a little reluctantly.

When he got home, Xie Xiaonuan flipped through the photos with Jing Jing on his mobile phone and looked at them for a long time.

Jing Jing is her best friend, a good friend who has guarded each other since she was a child. She swore that she would be doubly good to her in the future.

Yes, definitely.

"Xiao Nuan, are you going to have a birthday?" Xia Yuyang suddenly asked when he was solving the problem.

"Well, November 11th." Xie Xiaonuan responded.

Xia Yuyang took a deep breath and smiled uncontrollably, "Your birthday...... What a ......." Raise your hand and rub your face that was smiling a little stiff.

"Laugh, laugh, isn't it Singles' Day. I've laughed quietly many times, and there aren't many more of you. Xie Xiaonuan pursed his lips, and then glanced at him fiercely, "When is your birthday?" ”

"March." Xia Yuyang stopped teasing her and continued to read the exercises in the book.

Xie Xiaonuan put his hands on his cheeks, and his thoughts didn't know where he was wandering again.

Finally on a sunny weekend, ushered in Xie Xiaonuan's long-awaited birthday.

The kitchen was clanging, and Xie's mother was busy with longevity noodles, and Xie's father was choosing vegetables next to her.

It is their family's tradition to eat longevity noodles, and it is best to spread a bowl of longevity noodles and swallow them in one go.

Of course, this is also my mother's best skill.

Xiao Nuan invited Xu Jingjing, Xia Yuyang, and Song Yiyi to come to the house for dinner.

"Our family's dearest Xiao Nuan is one year older, I wish you a happy birthday! I wish our friendship a long and lasting one! ”

Xu Jingjing rushed into the house in a rage and gave Xiao Nuan a big hug, with a smile on her face.

Seeing that Jingjing was no longer as depressed as before, Xiao Nuan put her mind at ease and pinched Jingjing's soft face: "You are the most naughty!" ”

The two of them laughed.

At this time, Song Yiyi also followed up, holding a beautifully packaged gift box in her hand, "Xie Xiaonuan, happy birthday!" I wish you a happy day and progress in your studies. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the gift box and motioned for her to open it and take a look. Xiao Nuan thanked him flatteredly, curiously untied the ribbon and opened it layer by layer.

It's a string of very chic wind chimes, and Xiao Nuan likes it very much, so she hangs it in her room.

A breeze blew, a touch of pink was blown by the wind, and the beautiful sound attracted the attention of the three people.

"Xiao Nuan's classmates are here! Sit down, sit down, Auntie will make all the dishes immediately. ”

Mother Xie came out of the kitchen and was full of joy when she saw a girl as smart and cute as Jingjing.

Song Yiyi obediently agreed and sat quietly at the dining table. From time to time, his eyes drifted out of the door, and he stopped talking.

Father Xie saw that there was one less person in the seat, "What about Yu Yang?" Why haven't you come yet? ”

Xiao Nuan didn't know, but he told him to come over early the day before. So I decided to go and have a look.

There was a knock on the door, but there was no answer inside.

It's strange, where can I go at noon?

Xiao Nuan hung his head and returned and told everyone: "Xia Yuyang is not at home, or we will ...... first"

"I'm sorry, I'm late, and there's a bit of a traffic jam on the way back." A clear voice interrupted her words, and Xiao Nuan was shocked and looked back.

I saw Xia Yuyang standing at the door of the house, his back straight, his breathing was a little short, but the tiredness in his eyes was obvious, and he smiled when he looked at Xiao Nuan.

"Xiao Nuan, happy birthday." Xiao Nuan saw that he was empty-handed, his mood was a little low, and he lowered his eyes and said thank you, let's sit down and eat.

Mom and Dad made a hearty meal with her favorite sweet and sour fish nuggets.

The birthday cake is also very beautiful, with a little angel with wings spread on it, and sixteen candles are colorful, and everyone eats to their heart's content.

After Song Yiyi and Xu Jingjing said goodbye one by one, Xia Yuyang asked Xiaonuan to go to his house to sit.

The first time I came to his house, the house was a little empty, but it was unusually clean and tidy.

The fragrance of gardenias, followed by the loneliness and sadness, she suddenly felt very sad.

"Have a glass of milk, I only have milk and boiled water here." Yu Yang turned on the fiery milk and tilted his head slightly to her.

"Okay." Xiao Nuan smiled and continued to ask, "Where did you go today?" ”

Yu Yang didn't speak in the kitchen, I don't know if he didn't hear it or deliberately didn't answer.

Feeling the warmth of the milk in her hand, Xiao Nuan was a little relieved and drank it one by one.

"I'm ...... today Got out early. ”

Yu Yang lowered his head and said, "I want to prepare a birthday gift for you, but I found it after shopping for a long time...... Nothing is worthy of you......"

He avoided her gaze, seeming a little embarrassed.

As expected, Xiao Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and comforted him that it was okay, as long as everyone could eat together, it would be fine.

Continuing to hold the milk cup, suddenly her neck was cold, and she looked down at a very beautiful necklace, which was set around her neck, and there was a little rabbit on it, shiny.

Surprised, she looked up at his growing gaze.

"Fool, how could I not give you a birthday present." Xia Yuyang reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Happy birthday, there will be many birthdays in the future."

Xiao Nuan stretched out one hand to rub the necklace, smiled, and secretly made up her mind that they would spend their birthdays together in the future.

Leaning diagonally on his shoulder, his head next to her, the feeling of reassurance made her drowsy, and in the haze there seemed to be a warm hand caressing her forehead.

I didn't sleep well, there was Yu Yang's anxious call in my ears, and the voice of my parents, chirping, like the children who were noisy about eating candy in the kindergarten when I was a child.

There was a sudden stinging pain on the back of the hand, as if a mosquito had bitten it, and the surroundings gradually quieted down.

A hearty dream.

The pungent smell of disinfectant made her frown, and she opened her eyes with a grunt, and it was pitch black all around, and she couldn't see her fingers.

Frightened, she sat up sharply.

A feeling of the world spinning.

Just when she was about to fall down without support, a pair of strong arms caught her steadily.

Holding a hand in a hurry, it was him.

"Are you awake?" Yu Yang whispered.

"Where is this?" Xiao Nuan rubbed her eyes in a daze.

"Hospital, you have a fever."

Oh, her sixteenth birthday, unexpectedly, feverish.
