On Lu Zhu's birthday, it happened to be the first day of the mock exam. This time it is the city's big joint examination, and the difficulty is said to be the same as the college entrance examination, and no one dares to take it seriously.

Gu Cheng proposed to go out to dinner at noon to help Lu Zhu celebrate his birthday, but Lu Zhu rejected it, and she wanted to take the exam with peace of mind.

After a whole day of exams, followed by three evening self-study sessions in the evening, Lu Zhu rode home on the way, his brain had become a mess and he couldn't think.

Jiang Huaining knew that she was prone to nervousness when she encountered the exam, even if she had already taken the exam so many times. The elevator went up slowly, Jiang Huaining leaned against the inner wall and turned his head to look at her: "How did you do in the exam?" ”

"I don't know, I don't feel it." Lu Zhu's shoulders were about to collapse to the ground, and he said blankly.

"It's okay if you don't feel it, as long as you're not nervous, you can do anything." Jiang Huaining's fingertips curled up, wanting to lift the corners of her mouth up, "Don't lose your face, celebrate your birthday today, be happy." ”

The elevator door opened, and Lu Zhu was stunned, he remembered that today was her birthday?

Studying so intensely, she thought he had forgotten.

Jiang Huaining stepped out of the elevator and noticed that the person behind him was not moving, so he had no choice but to retreat, lifting the schoolbag behind her, as if carrying her whole person: "Let's go, go home for your birthday." ”

Lu Zhu was like a chicken, and he carried him all the way into the house.

Sun Jingfang was waiting for them in the living room, and when she heard the movement, she immediately ran to the entrance, smiling: "It's back, you're tired of the exam, right?" ”

Lu Zhu pursed his lips and smiled gently: "It's okay." ”

"Come on, come on, give me all the schoolbag, go eat first." Sun Jingfang took the two children's schoolbags and urged them to go to the restaurant.

The table was topped with a newly purchased white crochet tablecloth with sumptuous dishes and a bouquet of cut flowers in a glass vase. Lu Zhu was stunned at a glance, where is this supper, it is clearly a Manchu and Han full banquet.

There is also a two-layer strawberry cake in the middle, and the top layer is full of strawberries, bright red and beautiful. A sign made of white chocolate was inserted on it, which read "Happy 19th birthday Lu Zhu".

"Auntie......" Lu Zhu turned his head to look at Sun Jingfang, and his moist eyes flashed with emotion.

Sun Jingfang put her schoolbag over, smiled and patted her shoulder: "What are you doing in a daze, sit down and eat." ”

Jiang Huaining gentlemanly helped pull out the chair and watched Lu Zhu sit down. He sat down next to her and poured her a drink.

Lu Zhu's exhaustion faded, and under the bright lights, his whole body was wrapped in warmth and happiness.

She knew that it was not easy for Sun Jingfang to make a table of dishes, so she tasted every dish very sensibly, and in the end she couldn't eat it anymore.

Sun Jingfang saw her thoughts and smiled: "Silly child, keep your stomach for a while and eat some cake." ”

Jiang Huaining got up and turned off the top lights, the restaurant suddenly darkened, and the neon lights outside the window shone in, flickering and disappearing. The small county town is not as bright as the metropolis, there is no dazzling light band at night, only faint lights.

There were two pink candles on the cake, with the numbers 1 and 9 written on them, Jiang Huaining took a lighter and lit it, curled the corners of his lips and said to Lu Zhu: "Make a wish." ”

Lu Zhu was watched by them, a little shy, folded his hands, lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes gently, and made three wishes seriously.

First, I wish my family is healthy, second, I wish that the college entrance examination can be titled, and third, I wish ...... Three may Jiang Huaining be safe and happy, even if they will be separated from each other in the future.

Lu Zhu slowly opened her eyes, in the flickering candlelight, her eyelashes trembled slightly, blew out the candle, bent her eyes in the darkness, and smiled lightly.

Jiang Huaining turned on the light again, and heard Sun Jingfang behind him ask softly, "What wish did Zhu Zhu make?" ”

Jiang Huaining turned around: "Mom, it won't work if you say it." ”

Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment and did not say his wish.

Jiang Huaining cut the cake, ate a small piece of it for one person, and put the rest in the refrigerator.

Xia Zhu called at this time, and Lu Zhu took the mobile phone to the balcony and chatted with her for a while.

There is an exam tomorrow morning, and neither of them plans to stay up late tonight, so they go back to their rooms to sleep.

Lu Zhu's stomach was a little supportive, and after taking a shower, he walked back and forth in the room to eat, and he was afraid of affecting the residents downstairs, so he simply went to the bed and lay down, stilted up with his feet high, and pedaled the bicycle in the air.

"Lu Zhu, have you slept?"

There was a knock on the door outside, it was Jiang Huaining's voice.

Lu Zhu put down his legs and sat up: "No, I didn't sleep." ”

She grabbed her messy hair, frantically put on her slippers, and jumped to open the door before she could get dressed.

Outside the door, Jiang Huaining was wearing a clean white T-shirt and loose trousers, with a refreshing smell after bathing, damp short hair was dark and swarthy, his black eyes were slightly lower, and the corners of his lips brought a little smile: "Happy birthday." ”

Jiang Huaining held her wrist and raised it, palmed it up, and lightly placed a small dark blue box on her white palm: "Classmate Lu Zhu, the 19th birthday gift, put it away." ”

Lu Zhu was slightly stunned, her eyes fell on her hand, she closed her five fingers, grabbed the box, and missed a beat in her heartbeat.

She shouldn't have been, but she couldn't help it.

There was no one in the living room, and Jiang Huaining deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, and the magnetism was low, as if he had plucked the strings of a cello. Lu Zhu's heart beat faster, and his cheeks were slightly hot.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" He said.

Lu Zhu's fingertips were a little numb, and when he opened the box, there was a delicate necklace lying on the velvet cloth, with seven small diamonds at the bottom, which were connected together in the shape of the Big Dipper.

"Do you like it?" Jiang Huaining lowered his eyes, looked at her stunned appearance, and smiled.

Lu Zhu's breathing was completely messed up, and she really wanted him not to be so nice to her, she was easy to indulge in the tenderness he created, and she couldn't get out.

Jiang Huaining proposed: "Do you want to wear it and try it?" Just looking at it may not tell you anything special. ”

She has a fair and slender neck and delicate collarbones, and she must look good in a necklace. He had visually measured that the necklace was just long enough for a few sparkling diamonds to fit between her two collarbones.

Imagination alone wasn't enough, he wanted to see what she looked like.

Lu Zhu tried to adjust his breathing, so that his voice didn't sound abnormal: "Isn't it expensive?" ”

"Huh?" I didn't expect her to ask like this, Jiang Huaining was stunned, and said very calmly, "It's not expensive." It's not really a diamond, it's a zircon, it's cheap. ”

Lu Zhu felt no more burdened, took out the necklace and wanted to put it on, but his hand went around the back of his neck and tried a few times but failed to buckle the lock.

"Turn around, I'll help you." Jiang Huaining grabbed her shoulders and pulled her body, making her turn away from him, he pinched the lock on her hand and easily fastened it, "Okay." ”

Lu Zhu turned around, she was wearing an off-white ruffle collar nightdress, with three small buttons on her chest, the top one was not buttoned, just exposing her collarbone, and the dazzling diamonds were embellished on her pale skin.

Jiang Huaining glanced at it, coughed lightly and staggered his gaze, and said in a low voice: "You look good when you wear it." ”

"Thank you for the gift." Lu Zhu was a little uncomfortable, lowered his head, and touched the cold chain around his neck with his fingers.

Jiang Huaining raised his eyebrows: "Be polite with me." ”

The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted the faint ambiguous atmosphere between the two, Lu Zhu ran back to the room, picked up the mobile phone on the bed, and put it to his ear: "Gu Cheng." ”

Jiang Huaining was about to go back to the room, when he suddenly heard the name, and his footsteps stopped.

"Where do you say you are?" Lu Zhu raised his voice in surprise, raised his eyes to look out the window, and said in disbelief, "Now?" How did you get out? Over the wall? ”

Lu Zhu was more and more surprised, hung up the phone, and hurriedly ran out.

was grabbed by Jiang Huaining, and he wrinkled his eyebrows with a calm face: "Why are you going?" ”

"Gu Cheng was waiting for me outside the community, saying that if he wanted to send me something, I had to go out." Lu Zhu didn't hide it.

Jiang Huaining glanced her up and down, almost wrote the word "unhappy" on his face, and said in a light tone: "You plan to go out like this?" ”

Lu Zhu looked down at himself, it was really inappropriate to go out in a nightdress, so he turned back to the room and took a slightly longer coat to put on, the hem of which could cover his thighs.

After coming out, she found that Jiang Huaining was wearing a sports jacket over her T-shirt and was stunned.

Jiang Huaining tugged at the placket: "I'll go out with you." ”

Lu Zhu didn't refuse, and the two went out lightly, without disturbing Sun Jingfang, who was resting in the master bedroom.

Out of the corridor door, the wind was still a little cool at night, Lu Zhu put on his coat, walked outside the community, and saw the long figure under the street lamp.

Jiang Huaining stopped, didn't go any further, waited at the door of the community with his hands in his pockets, and watched Lu Zhu trot over, his face was dark and uncertain.

Gu Cheng's eyebrows were sharp, he glanced at Jiang Huaining coldly, retracted his gaze indifferently, and gave the things in his hand to Lu Zhu: "I can't eat, I have to give you a birthday gift." ”

In the past, when they had a birthday, the dinner was the most important, and the gifts were secondary, so they didn't care much about these.

"Thank you." Lu Zhu took it and hugged it in his arms, and waved his hand, "Go back quickly, don't go over the wall in the future, let the teacher catch it and it's over." ”

Gu Cheng pursed his lips and chuckled, his overly handsome face exuded a bit of ruffianism, and he leaned over to her: "I came all the way and sent me away with a word?" ”

"Oh, do you want cake?" Lu Zhu said, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow." ”

"Who doesn't know that thing?" Gu Cheng snorted, held Lu Zhu's arm, and raised his eyebrows defiantly, "I'll go back if I hug one." ”

Lu Zhu thought he was joking, so he shook his hand away and hurt him with words: "Did you break your head over the wall?" ”

While she wasn't paying attention, Gu Cheng grabbed her shoulders with one hand, took the person into his arms and hugged her hard, and before she could go crazy, he let go of his hand, turned his back to her, and waved his hand while striding forward in a dashing manner: "Let's go." ”

The bright moonlight gently sprinkled down, enveloping the young man's unbridled face.
