Chapter 9: Happy Birthday

The passing year was unfavorable, Shi Yu just went downstairs and met Shi Yu and others who were playing cards downstairs, and Shi Yu was shocked to stop going downstairs and took two steps back.

Shi Yu hid at the top of the stairs, probing left and shrinking right, and finally waited until Shi Yu carried her.

Shi Yu hurriedly put the bag on the side of her face to block it, and took the opportunity to run quickly.

But it's still ......

"Look, it looks like Ultraman over there!" A little boy suddenly shouted, "Hey, it seems to be really, Ultraman, Ultraman, are you here for me?" ”

Then, a group of little boys shouted behind her, Shi Yu didn't know if there was Shi Yu in that voice, but she knew.

If you don't run, it's over!

Behind him, Shi Yu looked at the dodging "Ultraman" in front of him, and after thinking for a moment, he instantly shouted: "Shi Yu, you take off your clothes for me!"

Listening to Shi Yu's roar behind him, Shi Yu ran away from the scene without looking back.

……

"Sorry, excuse me, thank you......"

Along the way, Shi Yu wore an Ultraman costume, held a fairy stick, and kept moving forward with difficulty.

It's finally here.

However, it's too dangerous to look at things with a hood!

Shi Yu almost hit a tree several times, or was almost burned by a child passing by playing with fireworks, and was frightened by the sound of firecrackers from time to time.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and Shi Yu arrived at the agreed place safely and alive.

The New Year is lively and festive, the trees around are full of colorful lights or red lanterns, and most of the families in the park walk together, or three or two and a half, and there are few visible and alone.

Shi Yu stood under the tree, looked from afar, and saw Yu Xin standing alone in the cold wind, stamping his feet and rubbing his hands from time to time to get heat, and looking at the children around him who were traveling with their parents with a slightly envious expression.

Even, Yu Xin was a little distracted, and he didn't know what he thought, so he lowered his head and stopped looking, looking lonely.

Slowly, he raised his head again, and looked around with expectant eyes, waiting.

Stupid brother Yu Xin, he came so early, he didn't know how to find a warmer place to wait.

What to do if you freeze it!

Shi Yu's heart was slightly astringent, and she looked very distressed.

Immediately, Shi Yu took out two fairy sticks, carefully struck a match, and lit the fairy sticks.

Suddenly, the fairy stick burst into a sizzling golden fireworks, and Shi Yu couldn't help but smile and dance in the air.

Suddenly, through the fireworks lit in mid-air, in the shaking firelight, it was the young man who was waiting quietly.

What is more beautiful than fireworks is the person in front of you.

Yu Xin stood under the street lamp, rubbing his shoulders with his hands, stomping his feet straight, soaking white air for warmth, and only looking for the familiar figure in the crowd with his eyes.

In the dim light, flakes of snow hung on Yu Xin's shoulders, and it only took a moment to melt and soak his clothes.

From time to time in the park, there are parents holding their children, with fireworks in their hands, and the ice and snow have not melted each other's overflowing happiness, and the fire is more brilliant in the dark night.

"Guess who I am?"

Suddenly, a pair of soft little hands covered Yu Xin's eyes, and in the dark, Yu Xin could only hear the girl's crisp laughter behind him.

"Ayu."

The corners of Yu Xin's mouth are crooked, like a crescent moon.

"Huh. Brother Yu Xin guessed correctly, Brother Yu Xin didn't open his eyes first, and turned around slowly. I'll count three times, and you will open your eyes again! ”

Yu Xin couldn't see what Shi Yu was doing, but seemed to hear the sound of matches, something was lit, and there was a sizzling sound of fireworks.

"Three, two, one. Keep your eyes open. ”

The tide is rushing all around, fireworks are blooming, coming and going, bustling, but Yu Xin can only see the people in front of him and hear the sound in his ears.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you......"

Shi Yu held two burning fairy sticks in her hands, wearing a somewhat tight Ultraman costume, dancing and singing and dancing.

In the park, the crowd on the road saw a little girl wearing an Ultraman costume holding a fairy stick, singing a birthday song to the little boy in front of her, with a childlike voice, funny but warm.

After Shi Yu finished singing the birthday song, she laboriously ripped off her hood, and her hair was a little messy, slightly covering her eyelashes.

Shi Yu brushed aside the broken hair in front of her, took the fairy stick, walked a few steps forward, tilted her head, and cheered with a smile in the brilliant fireworks: "Brother Yu Xin, happy birthday!"

"Crackle, crackle—"

Fireworks were set off in the park, one by one rushing into the sky, the crowd began to gather and stop, the fire trees and silver flowers swallowed the loneliness of the night, and the starry sky fireworks hazy the eyes of the young man.

Yu Xin passed through the sparks, and in the midst of the fireworks, the young man's eyes only filled her with the stars.

In the dark.

His light.

Here it comes.

Shi Yu looked at Yu Xin, who was stunned in place, tilted her head suspiciously, and shook it in front of him with a fairy stick.

Is it because she didn't prepare well enough?

On the ground, his wrist was held by Yu Xin,

Yu Xin smiled peacefully, looking at Shi Yu's beautiful face, and the tenderness in her eyes was even more drowning: "Thank you, Ayu."

Hey, hey, hey.

Shi Yu buried her head in her chest, shyly crawled from her earlobe to her cheek, kicked the snowflakes under her feet, and whispered: "No need to say thank you, Brother Yu Xin is happy."

Shi Yu's voice was originally small, but it was even lighter in the back.

But Yu Xin still sneered, and his eyebrows and eyes were more gentle.

"Ahh

Shi Yu touched the tip of her nose, which was red from the cold, and shivered.

I knew that she would have come out in a coat, it was so cold.

Suddenly, Shi Yu felt a heat in her back, and her whole body was shrouded in warmth.

At a side glance, it was Yu Xin's coat.

Yu Xin's hand was also wrapped by Yu Xin, Yu Xin rubbed it and hummed to warm Shi Yu, and finally simply put Shi Yu's hand into his armpit.

Cold hands.

But the heart is indeed hot.

Shi Yu smiled and pointed to a bunch of fairy sticks on the ground: "Brother Yu Xin, the fairy sticks have to be taken away."

Pity her, alone, wearing an Ultraman costume and holding a large number of fairy sticks, it is difficult along the way.

"Brother Yu Xin, hurry up, there are many people setting off fireworks over there."

Yu Xin picked up the pile of fairy sticks, and looked at Shi Yu who was waving at him with her eyebrows fluttering in front of her eyes.

Immediately, Yu Xin's somewhat sloppy eyes gradually cleared, looking at Shi Yu's smile, Yu Xin muttered, "It's here."

"Brother Yu Xin, look at it, there are so many fireworks,"

The girl turned her head, her red little face was full of excitement, revealing two pear vortices at the corners of her mouth, and her hands holding fairy sticks kept gesturing at him, as if offering treasures.

"Crackle, crackle—"

Shi Yu was so frightened by the sudden sound of firecrackers that her neck shrank, and she subconsciously retreated in the direction of Yu Xin behind her.

Suddenly, Shi Yu's ears were covered by Yu Xin, and everything was silent, as if she could only hear the sound of a wild and powerful heartbeat behind her.

Yu Xin reached the back of Shi Yu's neck, and stopped at the tip of his nose a few minutes from his earlobe, his tone was gentle and intoxicated.

"Happy New Year, Ayu."

……

As soon as Yu Xin opened the door after taking a bath, he saw Yu's mother waiting at the door, and was a little surprised.

"Mom, you ......"

Without waiting for Yu Xin to say anything, Yu's mother picked up the dry towel in her hand and wiped his wet hair for him.

Yu's mother's movements were very gentle, and Yu Xin seemed to be able to feel the warmth transmitted through the towel, along the ends of her hair, and transmitted to her heart.

"Did you have fun with Xiaoyu tonight?"

Yu Xin was slightly surprised that Yu Mu would know, but she reacted quickly and nodded in response: "Hmm." Happy. ”

Immediately, there was an uncomfortable silence between the mother and son.

Yu Xin's silent body was an unexpectedly touched heart.

It seems that since Yu's mother was busy participating in various competitions, she hardly had too much time with him on weekdays.

This is the most recent, the last time......

Never mind.

For a moment, Yu Xin was about to make a sound to break the dull atmosphere, but Yu's mother suddenly took the towel away from his head and took the lead in breaking the silence.

Yu's mother touched Yu Xin's head, her eyebrows and eyes were loving, and her tone was gentle but mixed with some guilt: "Son, happy birthday!"

After that, he hugged Yu Xin and turned to leave.

Yu Xin looked at Yu's mother's back, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she stretched out her hand to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she seemed to be blocked by something, so she could only walk away silently.

Sitting at the table, Yu Xin suddenly saw a letter, on the warm yellow envelope, the five strong and powerful characters shook his heartstrings.

Aison Yu Xinqi.

Yu Xin was stunned for a long time, his hand reached out to the table but retracted it violently when he was about to touch the corner of the envelope, repeating it, hesitating and struggling, and finally lowered his eyelashes and reached out to touch it.

When Yu Xin opened the envelope, his fingers trembled a little, and accidentally, something slipped from the inside onto the table.

Yu Xin fixed his eyes and saw that it was a conch.

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and continued to open the envelope.

There is also a piece of stationery inside.

After taking it out, Yu Xin poured the envelope down again, and after making sure that there was nothing, he slowly opened the letter.

But at the moment when the folded letter was about to be opened, Yu Xin's hand stopped suddenly, and he saw an unfamiliar family photo on the table.

In the photo, it was a photo of him and Yu's mother at the beginning of school, and there were only the two of them.

But now, there is a familiar and strange man on his other side.

A man who could not have been in this group photo.

His, father.

This time he did not wear a military uniform, but changed into ordinary clothes, faded from deep seriousness, and smiled a little kindly and gently.

Standing next to him is like a father, and his wife accompanies his son to report.

The photo is glued on.

But it can also be seen that the person who sticks the photo has intentions, if you don't put your hand on the photo and rub it carefully, people who don't know are afraid that it will be difficult to find that it is just a fake family photo.

However, it is one of the few family photos of the Yu family.

Yu Xin continued to open the letter again, and the moment he saw the content, his heartstrings that had been holding on for a long time were finally broken.

In the dark night, there was the suppressed sobbing of the young man, and then it seemed to release something, getting bigger and bigger, and crying hoarsely like a little beast.

on stationery.

"Son, I'm sorry."

"Dad regrets that he can't spend every birthday with you, witness your growth every moment, it's Dad who is sorry for you. But you have to remember that Daddy will always love you. ”

"This is the conch that Daddy gave you. If you miss Daddy, talk to the conch and Daddy will hear you. Although Dad is not by your side, Dad will always be behind you to protect you. ”

……

"Happy birthday, son!"

Signed: Love your dad.
