Chang Jiu watched Shen Zhi finish making his wish, and then whispered, "It's time to blow out the candle." ”

Shen Zhi heard her voice, and then he came back to his senses from self-deprecation, and he looked at the candle inserted in the cake and gently blew it out.

The next moment, Chang Jiu turned on the lights in the dining room, the warm light illuminated the food on the table more deliciously, he and she had eaten in this restaurant many times, but only today, I felt that this place was extraordinarily warm, like returning to childhood.

Chang Jiu took the candle off the cake, and Shen Zhi noticed that the cake was a black and white invitation on it, and it was still a model of a piano, made of chocolate.

He stared at it for a long time, secretive, and there were ripples in his deep and calm eyes, "This cake was also made by you?" ”

"How do you know?" Chang Jiu was surprised, "Is it not doing well?" ”

Although the baker praised her for her talent, she was a novice after all, and she was definitely not as refined as a professional.

"No, it's pretty, thank you." He stared at her intently, a gaze that made her a little embarrassed, "Let's eat." ”

Shen Zhi "um", sat down with her, Chang Jiu put the cake back in the refrigerator, and after sitting down, he explained to him, "I seem to have made a mistake, the cake should be taken out after eating." ”

But in that case, there would be no surprises.

"It's okay, I love it." Shen Zhi said, "Thank you. ”

He seemed to be in a good mood, Chang Jiu saw him take the wine out of the wine cabinet and drink it alone, she wanted to drink it with him, but he only let her drink red wine.

Chang Jiu said, "It's the first time I've prepared a birthday for someone else, and I don't know if you like it or not." ”

Shen Zhi stopped drinking, "Huh? Haven't you had it before? ”

"Well, Mom and Dad's birthdays are specially prepared, and so is Chang Qing." Chang Jiu said.

She didn't mention Gu Zhen, but Shen Zhi inevitably asked, "Haven't you ever given Gu Zhen anything?" ”

Chang Jiu had already guessed that he was going to ask, "No, he spent his birthday with his friends and never alone." ”

"What about Liang Yin?" Shen Zhi remembered the name again, he drank the wine, his eyes were dyed with a few reds, and he looked at her without squinting, and his inquiring gaze made people feel empty.

Changjiu: "I don't know his birthday. ”

Shen Zhi: "Huh? The tone of doubt is obviously not convinced.

But this is true, Liang Yin was Chang Ruling's assistant at that time, and although Chang Jiu met with him every day in private, most of them were Liang Yin taking care of her, and Liang Yin knew her preferences well, and she didn't know much about him.

Chang Jiu explained to Shen Zhi seriously, and finally Shen Zhi finally laughed, and Chang Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know how to coax a man.

Shen Zhi drank a bottle of wine, he was drunk, and when he ate the cake, he was a lot more excited than usual, and it was the first time he saw him with such a childish smile, and his temperament was completely different from that of usual.

She was stunned, and the corners of her mouth were stained with cream, and she didn't know it, but later, it was he who kissed her and "cleaned up" the cream from her mouth.

"See what?" Shen Zhi asked her against his lips.

Chang Jiu said, "You just smiled very differently than usual, as if you were ...... Not. ”

She wanted to say "It's like a child who hasn't grown up", but the words behind her were blocked by him, and the fiery kiss fell.

She was hugged by his waist, her body was vacated, and the two went straight to the bathroom.

On the floor, there are scattered clothes, shirts and T-shirts are entangled, messy and ambiguous.

At two o'clock in the morning, the tired Changjiu had already fallen into a deep sleep, and Shen Zhi lay beside her, but he didn't feel sleepy for a long time, and his brain became more and more awake.

He stared at the sleeping woman next to him for a long time, picked up his phone, and left the bedroom softly.

Shen Zhi came to the kitchen again, the dinner on the table had not yet been collected, he stood in place, and the picture of her singing a birthday song to him tonight flashed in a trance in front of him.

Alcohol caused him to have a headache, and unfamiliar emotions surged through his chest, rushing straight to his brain and impacting his reason.

Shen Zhi rubbed his temples heavily, took ice water, quickly turned off the lights in the restaurant, he drank half a bottle of ice water, and finally washed down the unfamiliar emotion.

Before you know it, you've come to the living room.

Shen Zhi sat down in front of the sofa, his eyes fell on the gift box on the coffee table, he took out the piano model inside, and the picture of her assembling the model automatically appeared in his mind.

His slender fingers touched the keys, and the redness of his eyes became more and more obvious, and the tails of his eyes were as red as if he had cried.

Shen Zhi hasn't had a birthday for many years, and the last birthday should be before Shen Shuqing died.

Shen Shuqing's physical condition was already very bad at that time, but on his birthday, he miraculously got better, so she carefully prepared a birthday for him.

Like Changjiu tonight, I made him dinner, made a cake, and gave him a song that he wrote himself.

He already knew that it was useless to make a wish, but he still made a wish, hoping that her body would get better, and that day, Shen Shuqing drank a lot of wine.

After Shen Man fell asleep at night, the mother and son sat on the floor in the living room downstairs and chatted together, Shen Shuqing sang him a birthday song, sang and sang, and then cried, and finally couldn't cry.

Shen Zhi took her into his arms, and Shen Shuqing hugged him tightly, and he felt her tears wet his T-shirt and blur in his left atrium.

"Mom." He gently comforted her at that time, "Don't cry, neither Manman nor I will leave you." ”

Unexpectedly, Shen Shuqing cried more and more because of his comfort, she choked up and apologized to him, "Mom is sorry for you, I'm sorry for ......"

She didn't say how to be sorry, but Shen Zhi couldn't be clearer.

He couldn't control it, and shed tears with her, which was also the first time he cried in front of Shen Shuqing after he was sensible.

Once they started, they couldn't stop it, and the mother and son cried downstairs for hours.

Shen Shuqing kept apologizing to him, she said that the most sorry thing in her life was that he and Shen Man, if she could do it all over again, she would definitely not be obsessed and unrepentant, causing their brothers and sisters to grow up with such cold eyes and contempt.

Shen Zhi said, "It's not too late for you to figure it out now, the three of us can still live well." ”

He was relieved at that time and full of expectations for the future, but less than a week after his birthday, Shen Shuqing passed away.

She left very suddenly, and when Shen Zhi received a call from his aunt, he went to the hospital in a drag racing car, and only had time to see her for the last time.

When Shen Shuqing left, she said two words to Shen Zhi, one was "I'm sorry", and the other was "Don't let Manman go my way".

Shen Zhi remembered her expression so far, as if she was waiting for him to come over, and after saying these two words, she closed her eyes.

Shen Zhi had just celebrated his nineteenth birthday that year.

In the next ten years, birthdays became his curse, and even Shen Man knew that he hated birthdays the most.
