Chapter 55: Happy Adulthood

Bai Mang followed Jiang Chuanyao to a place where Ronghu was nine miles.

It is a certain distance from the suburbs of Lan City, and the environment looks like a scenic spot, surrounded by a large and clear lake, and it is a chic and simple courtyard style house.

Bai Mang doesn't like things to be too unpredictable, and going to an unknown place for dinner is not only dangerous for her, but also full of unknowns.

It's like Jiang Chuanyao, how he feels about her. She likes things that are clear, people who are clear. Jiang Chuanyao seems to have a hundred secrets hidden in his body, and so does his whole person. It is difficult to judge whether it is mixed and mixed together.

The car was parked in front of a yard.

Jiang Chuanyao got out of the car and looked at the house.

"That's it."

Bai Mang also looked at the wooden signboard posted on the wall, which read "Qiuya Homestay".

Turning her face, she looked at Jiang Chuanyao with a straight and clear gaze, and she explained: "My upper limit is two hundred per capita, which is more than you can pay." ”

Jiang Chuanyao sighed.

A light and serious response.

After a while, he smiled at her: "It shouldn't be over." ”

He was refreshed and harmonious into the night. The scenery on the opposite side has the momentum of starry plains and wide fields, and the moon surging and the great river.

The surface of the lake is clear, and the moon shadow is heavy.

-

Jiang Chuanyao's tone is clear and affirmative, and there is naturally a reason.

The old aunt who runs this Qiuya B&B is an old couple who seem to be in their early sixties, and the old aunt in it smiled like an acquaintance when she saw Jiang Chuanyao, and even smiled at Bai Mang.

But there were few words, only a few words, and then I went to the kitchen to prepare.

The house has no guests today.

Jiang Chuanyao took her to the rooftop on the second floor, where there were two or three tables, and he found one with the best view. Bai Mang walked across from him and sat down.

"The fare may not be as expensive as today's meal." She said.

"I'll pay for the fare." Jiang Chuanyao replied to her, inadvertently showing a little connivance.

Bai Mang is not a character who splashes cold water, Jiang Chuanyao deliberately took her all the way to have a meal, and also watched such a magnificent night view, today happens to be his birthday. Blink and enjoy.

Holding his chin with one hand, he asked Jiang Chuanyao out loud: "What does the boss have to do with you?" ”

"The boss's wife used to be a nanny for the Jiang family, and when she was older, she came here to open a shop and make a living."

Jiang Chuanyao is talking about the Jiang family, not his family.

Bai Mang: "Your relationship with your aunt should be quite good before." ”

"It's okay, I know her if I have a memory." Jiang Chuanyao put his hands on the table, and wrote a little comfortably on his face, "So it won't exceed the budget, if it is exceeded, I just need to explain the situation, and the boss will also see that it is not easy for me to come and give us a little cheaper." ”

Bai Mang shook his head: "Forget it, it's not easy for them to do business." ”

The son-in-law of the Jiang family will say such down-to-earth words. Bai Mang felt that there were always some traces on Jiang Chuanyao's body, and he may have suffered when he was a child.

…… I don't know what kind of suffering it is.

The boss and his wife began to serve her, boiling a cup of delicate porridge, with a small pot of autumn health and nourishment, refreshing side dishes, and stir-fried lake fresh.

Bai Mang ate with relish.

Dinner was happy, and she looked at Jiang Chuanyao's appearance, which was pleasing to her eyes.

"I guess it's about the same."

"And one last one."

Bai Mang looked at Jiang Chuanyao and saw that his eyes fell into the thick night, and he seemed a little lonely.

The last thing that came up was-

A bowl of longevity noodles.

It's like longevity noodles made by the family, two poached eggs, and above the thin noodles are oily minced meat and green vegetables.

"I've seen your ID card, and today is your birthday. Eat a bowl of birthday noodles and have a simple time. Jiang Chuanyao spoke.

His voice was clear and tired, with a hint of imperceptible kindness.

There is no flattery, just a simple expression of one's kindness.

It's just that she needs a bad embryo boy to be kind to her?

For a moment, Bai Mang almost felt that Jiang Chuanyao was pitying herself, and she was pitiful that no one had given her birthday today.

Jiang Chuanyao took her bowl and used chopsticks to pick up noodles for her.

He put the two poached eggs in her bowl and said, "You can skip the noodles, you have to eat both eggs." ”

Bai Mang silently looked at Jiang Chuanyao's movements, his eyes stared straight at him, and he didn't say a word.

If she hadn't realized that Jiang Chuanyao had specially brought her here to celebrate her birthday, she would have been able to feel his arrangements today.

Move?

Still sad?

There was a little wind in my heart, and then I didn't know where to go, like a stone smashed into a lake, and only the moment when the calm was broken, the waves suddenly rose.

Jiang Chuanyao handed her a small bowl of noodles.

"Thank you." She thanked her.

Jiang Chuanyao leaned back in the chair: "My eighteenth birthday was also spent here." ”

Bai Mang raised his head and answered: "Then your relationship with your family is not normal." ”

Jiang Chuanyao did not deny it: "It's very abnormal. ”

Bai Mang: "Are you born?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao smiled suddenly and looked at her: "Maybe, no." ”

Obvious jokes, Bai Mang was naturally funny, but he was not too embarrassed to laugh, and after a pause, she replied to him: "I am biological, and I look very similar to my mother." ”

Jiang Chuanyao asked, "What is your mother like?" ”

Bai Mang complained: "It's nothing, it's a very unlooking woman." ”

Jiang Chuanyao: "Ding Jingkai is really your biological father?" ”

Bai Mang squeezed out a smile, and his tone was very relaxed: "They said yes, that's it." ”

Jiang Chuanyao: "It seems that your family ...... It's not normal either. ”

Bai Mang retorted: "So what, I grew up normally." ”

The two have talked so much, it has exceeded the relationship between the two who are not even friends. Bai Mang thought about it, then raised the Coke next to him, and said to the person opposite, "You are kind enough to give me a birthday, and you wish me a happy birthday and a long life." ”

Jiang Chuanyao smiled, raised his water glass, and touched her coke: "Happy birthday, live a long life." ”

The night breeze blew on the two young faces, almost blowing away the anger and rebelliousness, leaving only tenderness and light emotions.

Bai Mang's understanding of birthdays is very simple, to have a cake, blow out a candle, and make a wish. Like Shinko's birthday that day, it was lively and lively. But she has a memory, from childhood to adulthood, she only spent two years at her grandmother's house.

It's like this, simply eat a bowl of birthday noodles.

She has never had a specially arranged birthday full of blessings from others. Buying a birthday cake is a very troublesome request for Bai Hui, she didn't dare to mention it to Bai Hui when she was a child, and when she grew up, she was embarrassed to trouble herself with her birthday.

Even, she didn't tell Fang Zixin today.

She's still not used to it, and she's already made friends.

"If you prepare another cake today, Jiang Chuanyao, I will treat you as a friend for the rest of my life." Bai Mang said a big word to Jiang Chuanyao.

"It's a pity that I missed the opportunity to be friends with you again." Jiang Chuanyao chuckled in a low voice, "I didn't prepare a cake." ”

Bai Mang smiled, his eyes were crooked, as if he had fallen into the vast stars, and he spoke seriously: "It's okay, I'm already very moved, you are better than my mother." ”

Jiang Chuanyao: "It's an honor to be compared like this by you. ”

Bai Mang frowned, and once again pretended to be amorous, and asked, "Don't you really want to chase me?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao shook his head, looked at her and said, "I just want to be with you...... Be friends. ”

Bai Mang: "Didn't you lie?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao: "When you're your boyfriend, maybe next month, it's not." But friends, my request to friends is, for a lifetime. I think you are the same. ”

"Being a friend is better than a girlfriend."

Clear and honest words, but also with some solemn and practical considerations.

"Then we're ...... today It's a friend. Bai Mang raised the Coke and clinked glasses with Jiang Chuanyao again.

"Hmm."

The glass and the Coke collide a second time.

Bai Mang raised his eyes and asked, "Jiang Chuanyao, why are you friends with me?" ”

Jiang Chuanyao praised: "I think you are interesting, energetic, fun and special, rare and very righteous, you have a lot of qualities that I admire." ”

"Really?"

"It's all true."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Anything else? Bai Mang was a little greedy and wanted to be praised more.

Jiang Chuanyao looked at her: "There is also a thought in my heart...... I think you need friends. ”

I need a friend more than a boyfriend. So, he was her friend first, not her boyfriend.

Bai Mang lowered his head, a rare emotion on his face, and it was still a cool sentence in his mouth: "Thank you for admiring." ”

Of course, I was a little moved in my heart, Jiang Chuanyao not only admired her, but also deliberately set up a bureau, just to be her friend.

Jiang Chuanyao looked at him leisurely: "In the future, there will be many people who appreciate you, and there will be many people who want to be your friend." ”

Bai Mang snorted, looked at Jiang Chuanyao, and inadvertently bumped into his dark eyes.

Jiang Chuanyao took out a plastic lighter from his pocket. He held the lighter and gently reached out in the airβ€”

"Click", a cluster of blue flames appeared on the lighter.

A small cluster of light blue firelight, swaying against the night wind.

"Make a wish."

Bai Mang sighed, feeling such a sense of ritual for the first time. She pressed her hands on the dining table, leaned over, faced Jiang Chuanyao, and gently blew towards the flames on the lighter.

The small flame that fell under Jiang Chuanyao's eyes was extinguished.

"Bai Mang, I still have a gift for you." Jiang Chuanyao suddenly said to her, "You look up. ”

There are also gifts......

What gift?

Bai Mang didn't react and looked upward.

Above the sparkling lake, the silent sky was dotted with only faint and brilliant stars, and suddenly, these stars seemed to fall en masse, appearing between the surface of the lake and the night.

It is like a candle flame that lights up the night sky, shining brightly and shocking to the eyeballs.

These lights were controlled by hundreds of drones to control the brightness of the night sky in front of her.

Gather together, and neatly sort, combining frame after frame of cute and creative patterns in the air.

The first image hanging in the sky is a little girl comparing martial arts moves.

In the second picture, the little girl turns into a big mango.

In the third, the mango transforms into a bright bouquet.

The fourth, a birthday cake, stays in the air.

The entire night sky became brilliant in frames, like wildfires and fireworks.

In the distance, there was an exclamation from ahead, an exclamation from someone who also looked up at the night sky, and no one knew who was celebrating his birthday tonight. But those who have a birthday today must have received great surprise and satisfaction.

Today's birthday party, Bai Mang was indeed a little shocked, on this night, on her eighteenth birthday, she didn't expect that she would get such a grand birthday surprise.

"Jiang Chuanyao, you are also ...... to your friends That's great. Bai Mang said softly, his tone in disbelief, but he remained calm.

"I said, it's better to be my friend." Still joking.

"Bai Mang, I wish you a happy birthday again and a happy adult." The tone is a little more serious.

"There may not be anything interesting in the adult world, but I hope you can find interesting things and interesting life in the future." Very seriously.

"Live like your name, always full of hope."

The words that are so sincere that they seem to be carved from the bottom of the heart clearly fall on the ears, and the wind pours into the heart.

Jiang Chuanyao was already standing next to her, not very close, and when she turned her head, she could clearly see his face, clean eyebrows, and a gentle look that had never appeared before.

The young face, so handsome and smooth, when he looked up at the night sky with her, his eyes also sparkled.

Untilβ€”

The birthday cake slowly presented the radiant text.

Stay in the air, it's eight words-

[A bright life, invincible. 】

These eight words, written above the night sky, are like floating lights, and they are so radiant.

A bright and invincible life.

Originally, this was also a blessing he wanted to give himself when he was eighteen years old, and today he gave it to her.

Jiang Chuanyao stood tall next to her, the night was very quiet, and the wind was very light.

"Egawa Yao...... When is your birthday? Bai Mang came back to his senses and asked the person next to him. She accepted such a big gift from him, and when she waited for his birthday, it was not good to pretend that she didn't know.

Hopefully, Jiang Chuanyao's birthday has passed this year.

Jiang Chuanyao spoke: "929......"

What?!

"It's a coincidence, it's today." The corners of Jiang Chuanyao's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at her slowly, his eyes flashing with a strange light, "So, I've spent it with you today." ”

White Mang: !!

Oh, good.

If there is a shock in front of her, she only has the mood of a dog at this time.

-

Dare to ...... Today's luxury pomp is a birthday spell!
