When walking back to the police academy along the road, I bought the necessary drinks and snacks for the New Year's Eve, and there were not many students who stayed at the police academy for the New Year's Eve, at least there were only six of them in the Onitsuka class.

I agreed to take a shower and go up to the rooftop, but when Sasashima came to the public bathhouse with toiletries, I found that I was alone.

Putting things in the cabinet with doubts, Ritsu Sasashima stepped on his slippers and walked towards the rooftop, and before he had finished the last few steps, he could hear Matsuda Jinpei's loud voice.

"Ah, what's the matter with this lighter? Can't click it? Is there a match! ”

"It's good that I have matches, but are you sure that Sasashima will come to us on the rooftop?"

"According to Alu's character, he will definitely come up."

Ritsu Sasashima was very entangled in whether to open the iron door directly, they obviously underestimated the speed of their arrival, and the surprise they prepared had been exposed by this loud conspiracy.

In fact, he didn't forget that today was his birthday, but no one mentioned him and he didn't know.

Now I know that they are preparing a birthday surprise for themselves, and my heart is touched, it turns out that they have always remembered... There is a feeling that I am being missed.

"Shall I go down and talk to Sasashima? What if he thinks we're just going late and have already started washing? ”

"There's this possibility, squad leader, go quickly!"

Hearing footsteps coming from inside, Sasashima lowered his footsteps as much as possible and quickly walked downstairs in the direction of the bathroom, he picked up his toiletries and walked out of it, and met Date Airlines who came to him.

"Squad leader? How did you get over there? ”

Date was full of skill in this nonsense, and he explained with a smile: "That guy Hagiwara yelled to see the red and white first, so he called us to the rooftop and said to take a shower and wait until the red and white were finished. ”

"Oh, then I'll put my things down and go up with you."

"Okay."

Pretending not to know, Sashima and Date walked towards the rooftop together, and as soon as they opened the door, two small hand-pulled salutes were fired.

Zhufu Jingguang holds a cake he made himself, and the pattern on it is still cherry blossoms, which are the symbols of the Japanese police.

“ハッピーバースデートゥユー！”

“Happy birthday to you！”

Gu Ling, who is not good at singing and even sings birthday songs out of tune, is still persistent, even if it is night, even if it is wheat-colored skin, there is no way to hide his shyness.

Ritsu Sasashima's eyes widened and he showed a look of surprise, and his body subconsciously took a step back, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his superb acting skills in his heart.

"Happy birthday, Sasashima! (・ω<)”

"Eru, I wish you a happy birthday!. ◕ᴗ◕｡ ”

The wind of the deep winter night is cool, blowing the hair on the forehead. Subconsciously raised his hand to cover those deep pale blue eyes, he turned his back to suppress his emotions, even though he already knew that they had prepared a birthday surprise for him, he was still so emotional that the tip of his nose was a little sour.

I don't like to expose my emotions very much, and I don't want them to see that side of me. When Ritsu Sasashima turned around again, there was a mist in her eyes, and her face was filled with unprecedented softness.

A gentle smile, like a gentle breeze in early spring, illuminates the dimly lit rooftop.

It turns out that Sashima can also show such a smile, simply like a child who has been given a toy.

"It's worthy of our flower stamen, it's so handsome!"

“？”

Hearing Date Hang call himself that, Ritsu Sasashima tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Flower stamen?" What do you mean? ”

Zhu Fu Jingguang pointed to the cherry blossoms painted with strawberry cream sauce on the cake, and said with a smile: "Cherry blossoms are generally five-petaled, just like the police badge is a pentagonal sunburst chapter... We are the petals, and you are the stamens that make up us. ”

The stamens are surrounded by a cluster of petals, and Sasashima, the youngest, is in the eyes of the five older brothers... Always a child, an object that needs to be cared for and protected.

They are all police officers, so it is also very vivid to compare them to cherry blossoms.

"Make a wish, the candles are running out." Falling Valley Zero reminded loudly.

Ritsu Sasashima folded his hands and closed his eyes, and he silently made his wish for this year in his heart.

The first wish is to be with the five of them forever. The second wish is that all employees can pass the test in March next year to become police officers. The third wish is that they can all be healthy and live the rest of their lives safely.

There is also a desire that I want to be there to protect them.

More greedy than ever, Ritsu Sasashima opened his eyes and gently blew out the candle that was about to burn out, and he said sincerely, "Thank you for preparing this birthday surprise for me, I'm very happy." ”

"The ritual is over, look at the red and white, come and see my masterpiece!"

Matsuda Jinhei smiled and tinkered with the TV set plugged in the antenna, and after adjusting it to "NHK Red and White Song Club", he said, "This TV set couldn't be played here, so I tinkered with it!" ”

Praise me.

Date and Zhufu are the best champions, and in just a few words, Matsuda is so proud that he can't find the south, south, and north.

"Alright, hurry up and take out the gifts you have prepared!"

Date Hang took out the ring he bought in the afternoon from his pocket, handed it to Sasashima, and said with a smile: "To be honest, I was super worried that you would find Ni Duan in the afternoon, but fortunately it was not exposed!" ”

Looking at the ring, Ritsu Sasashima was a little stunned, he didn't expect to go to the jewelry store to choose a birthday gift for himself, he originally thought he just wanted to get himself out of the police academy.

When the black ring box was opened, there was a platinum men's ring inside, the ring was very simple, in addition to the surface engraved with Ritsu, there was also a small diamond.

It's no wonder that they chose the brand Ritsu, and the Chinese character name for this brand is [律].

"Thanks, but there's something embarrassing."

"Huh?"

Ritsu Sasashima scratched his cheek, took out an identical ring box from his trouser pocket, and when he opened it, it was a rose gold women's ring from a different series, and said, "I thought that the squad leader didn't have enough money, so he bought the ring for the proposal without permission." ”

“！！！”

"This diamond is bigger than the one we gave us?"

"I took out the New Year's money I saved to buy a ring in a joint venture... It is worthy of Sasasama, and the ring that costs hundreds of thousands of yen can be bought. ”

Sashima was confused: "So the marriage proposal is fake?" What to do with this ring? ”

"The proposal isn't fake, but it's not now... And the engagement ring must have been bought by myself, and this ring will be returned tomorrow. ”

"Okay."

Ritsu Sasashima put the ring they gave him directly on the middle finger, and it was a little loose for fear of falling off, so he had to move it to the position of the ring finger.

Anyway, he has no intention of falling in love, and this ring may be able to block the rotten peach blossoms for himself.

After this year, I will be nineteen years old, and I will only be one year away from adulthood.

Ritsu Sasashima held the Calpis in her hand and clinked glasses with them holding beers, her eyes falling on the picture on the television. Although the screen of the TV is much smaller than the large LCD screen in my apartment, it is quite warm for a few people to gather around to watch.

As for the birthday cake made by Zhu Fu, they ate more than half of it, and a small half was used to play.

It's like Sashima now, his entire handsome face is attacked by whipped cream, as if he has put on a mask.

"Let's go wash it, it's not good to wash it later."

"Hmm."

"Sasashima, do you choose the red group or the white group!"

Ritsu Sasashima's pace couldn't help but pause, and after thinking for a moment, he replied.

"White group, I prefer white."

White represents light and hope.

He wants to live all the time where there is light.
