Extra: When I was young, I was 14
Jiang Ruo's birthday is approaching.
In the early spring, the snow melts, and the scene of the revival of all things fills the heavens and the earth, and the dead branches are overgrown on the roadside.
In the early spring mornings of March, the clouds are still a little chilly, but by noon, when the sun is high, it is warm.
Jiang Ruo's birthday happened to be a Friday.
Jiang Huai came to pick her up from school at sunset, just in the evening to help her celebrate her birthday, and she didn't need to get up early the next day, she could enjoy this happiness to the fullest.
Jiang Ruo also knew that today was his birthday, and the smile on his face never stopped as soon as he left the school.
"Brother Huai, what gift are you going to give me this year?" She was looking forward to it.
Jiang Huai said mysteriously, "Keep it secret for the time being."
Jiang Ruo pouted: "If the gift from Brother Ahuai is not good, Ruo Ruo will be angry."
Jiang Huai rubbed Jiang Ruo's head, his eyes were gentle, "You will definitely like it."
Jiang Ruo looked forward to it more and more.
When he returned to his shabby but warm home, Jiang Huai took advantage of Jiang Ruo's daytime at school to have set up a birthday atmosphere, filled the house with colorful balloons, and hung a banner congratulating Jiang Ruo on his happy birthday, which looked extremely joyful.
Jiang Ruo's eyes radiated a bright light, and he sighed, "Brother Ahuai, the house is so beautifully decorated."
Jiang Huai said, "Forget your worries, if you like it, these decorations can always exist."
Jiang Ruo tilted his head and thought seriously, "Hmm... Leave these decorations for a week, you can't celebrate your birthday 365 days a year."
After a long time, there is no such atmosphere.
Jiang Huai's eyes doted, "Okay, listen to you."
Jiang Ruo saw the beautifully packaged cake box on the table, and immediately ran forward happily, "Brother Ahuai, what cake did you prepare for me?"
Jiang Huai said, "I know that you like blue, so I specially asked the people in the cake shop to make you a blue butterfly cake."
Jiang Ruo couldn't wait to open the cake box.
Sure enough, a blue butterfly stood on top of the white cake embryo, lifelike, as if it would spread its wings and fly away in the next second.
Jiang Ruo was attracted by the exquisite cake, "It's such a beautiful cake, I can't even bear to eat it."
At this time, Jiang Huai came and stretched out his hand to hug Jiang Ruo from behind, and his low voice lingered in Jiang Ruo's ears, full of bewitchment: "Forget your worries, you are my butterfly."
"You can fly wherever you want, but don't stay away from me."
As he grew older, Jiang Ruo's facial features became longer and more beautiful, and he became more and more worried, afraid that she would be tempted by the flowers and greens of the outside world.
She was raised by him himself, so he didn't want her to be cheated by other men.
She can only be his.
Jiang Ruo turned to look back at Jiang Huai, and his soft and delicate fingers gently caressed Jiang Huai's three-dimensional and thin face, "Brother Ahuai, no, I will be with you forever." You said I was your little daughter-in-law, and we were destined by nature."
She tiptoed and kissed him, and reassured, "Brother Ahuai, don't worry, no one in this world can compare to you."
Jiang Huai couldn't help but deepen this kiss, his eyes were ambiguous, "Forget your worries, I believe in you."
He had no choice but to believe.
It wasn't until the two kissed enough that they remembered to celebrate their birthdays.
Jiang Huai patiently inserted sixteen candles representing Jiang Ruo's age.
And Jiang Ruo, the little birthday star, obediently closed his eyes and made a wish, and folded his hands.
After making a wish, she first playfully opened one eye, and involuntarily laughed when she accidentally met Jiang Huai's gaze.
Jiang Huai's voice was gentle: "After making a wish, blow out the candles."
Jiang Ruo blew out the candle in one breath and swore that "this wish I made will definitely come true."
Jiang Huai asked, "What wish?"
Jiang Ruo grimaced whimsically, "Confidential."
She stretched out her white and tender little hand towards Jiang Huai, and said cutely, "Okay, the wish may be over
Where's Brother Huai's gift?"
Jiang Huai smiled mysteriously and turned around to get the gift box.
"Forget your worries and sit on the couch."
Jiang Ruo's eyes were puzzled, and he sat on the sofa slowly and obediently.
I saw Jiang Huai coming with a gift box in his hand.
The man's bamboo-like fingers slowly opened the gift box.
Strictly speaking, this should be a shoebox.
Jiang Ruo looked over, and a pair of beautiful high heels studded with white diamonds came into view.
Jiang Ruo was both surprised and stunned, but there was obviously more joy in it, "Brother Huai, why did you suddenly give me high heels?"
Jiang Huai approached with these extremely beautiful but expensive high heels, and half-knelt in front of Jiang Ruo, like a pious knight.
Jiang Ruo silently watched Jiang Huai slowly raise her delicate little feet, each finger was as delicate and lovely as jade grapes, and kissed her smooth and smooth instep.
Obviously he has a habit of cleanliness, but he is willing to make exceptions for her again and again.
Probably no one in this world would be so kind to her except him.
Jiang Ruo's eyes were sour and hot in an instant.
"Last time you went to see the school's senior graduation party, you saw that the girls were wearing high heels and evening dresses, and you came back and talked to me all night, did you forget?" Jiang Huai explained.
He has carefully remembered everything about her, and he will realize it for her one by one.
Jiang Huai raised his eyes, looked up at Jiang Ruo rarely, and said affectionately: "Forget your worries, don't envy others, I will give you what they have."
Jiang Ruo propped his hands on the edge of the sofa, his upper body leaned forward slightly towards Jiang Huai, and his eyes flashed with a mysterious light, "Brother Ahuai, when you are your birthday, I will give you a surprise."
She thought she was now grown up to do something that grown-ups could do.
She heard the female classmates in her class talk about it, and it was perfectly okay at her age.
"Okay, I'll wait for your surprise." Jiang Huai didn't think much about it.
..
Five months later was Jiang Huai's twenty-first birthday.
And the surprise and gift that Jiang Ruo said turned out to be...
Give yourself to him?
"Forget your worries, you're too young to be able to." Jiang Huai was still sensible and stopped.
"Brother Huai, I've grown up, it's okay." Jiang Ruo didn't care about it, and he made up his mind to do it.
Jiang Huai said sternly like a brother, "No!"
Jiang Ruo pouted aggrievedly: "Brother Ahuai rejects me, is he disgusting me?"
Jiang Huai immediately softened his tone: "Forget your worries, I feel sorry for your body, and you are afraid of pain."
She couldn't stand it.
Jiang Ruo stubbornly said, "I understand, I can bear it, and it doesn't necessarily hurt, even if it hurts, it will only hurt for a while, I believe in Brother Ahuai."
"Forget your worries, it's the same if you wait another two years." He really had nothing to do with her.
"If it's going to happen, what's the difference between two years earlier and two years later?" Jiang Ruo didn't understand why Jiang Huai rejected her so much.
Obviously, they were destined to be husband and wife a long time ago.
"Forget your worries, I'm afraid you'll regret it." Jiang Huai spoke earnestly.
Jiang Ruo was extremely stubborn: "I won't regret doing this kind of thing, and I won't regret it if I can't get Brother Ahuai."
Jiang Huai sighed softly: "Is it really decided? You want to give yourself to me?"
Jiang Ruo nodded firmly: "This is a gift for you."
