The two looked at each other, and the noisy surroundings seemed to fall silent.

The first to break the situation was Shi Di laughing: "Yes, you are my tablemate, of course you have to stand on my side." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the barbecue and ate it, lowered his head and staggered his gaze with Yu Tan.

Yu Tan smiled unnaturally, "Yes, that's what I mean." ”

The two of them ate with their heads bored, and neither of them mentioned the topic just now, as if as long as they didn't mention it, the inexplicable emotions would not exist.

***

The evening breeze carries the coolness of autumn, and the clouds in the sky are full of wisps of clouds in the night sky.

In his ears was the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, and beside him were the people he cared about.

Chen's restless heart was soothed at this moment.

He leaned lazily on the bench by the sea, his hands casually resting on the back of the chair behind her, his fingertips loosely entwining a strand of her hair.

Jiang Yan looked up at the sky and suddenly called him: "Brother." ”

He let out an "ah" in a procrastinating tone, his dark eyes still falling on her, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's your birthday today, I haven't given you a gift yet, what do you want?"

"Nope."

"No," she said disapprovingly, "you can't be like an old cadre, without desires and desires. ”

Chen was most amused by her description and serious little expression, and he thought for a moment: "But my brother has everything now." ”

She's enough to live up to everything in this world.

As for the rest, he didn't care.

"Today is the birthday of the young master of the Shi family, not mine."

Obviously, his voice was understated, but Jiang Yan was still sad to hear.

Today's birthday party came to the elite from all walks of life, nominally to celebrate his birthday, but which one didn't use this banquet as a kind of business entertainment for Vanity Fair.

Jiang Yan said seriously: "Brother, no matter what the past, I will be grateful for this day, just because of this day, you came to this world." ”

The world doesn't have much kindness to you, but you are here, you have come to me, and I will accompany you through this long time and share the wind and rain.

Even if the future is unknowable, as long as you and I can still be like this, this world will not be so scary.

"Happy birthday, brother."

Jiang Yan took out a handmade sunflower from his bag and bent his eyes, "I hope that my brother can be like a sunflower, born to the sun, and I will always come to you." ”

Chen's heart trembled slightly, his eyes burned on her, from his eyebrows to the corners of his lips, he didn't even want to miss a strand of hair.

She gave him sunflowers four times, choosing to tell him today, when he was at his lowest, that she would like to come to him.

The chill in his eyes completely dissipated, and the cage-like haze in his eyes all faded.

"Jiang Xiaoyan, you're pretty good!"

Chen raised his eyebrows, a small smile overflowed from his throat, and he raised his hand to rub her hair indiscriminately, "It's going to make my brother happy." ”

Jiang Yan looked at his reddened eyes, but fortunately, he was smiling, smiling from the heart.

When she was happy to see him, she was happy too.

"Then did I coax my brother well?"

"What do you say?"

Chen took the sunflower with both hands and touched the petals, "Why after so many years, your craft is still..."

Although he was disgusted, it was just his cautious actions that proved that this gift won his heart.

"Besides, my brother is a big man, so it's not good to always collect flowers."

Jiang Yan strained his little face: "Chen Shi, you dare to dislike my flowers?!" ”

"Don't dare," he said with a smile, "my brother will never dare to dislike the flowers of our princess in this life." ”

"That's it, how many people don't want it!"

He narrowed his eyes: "Who else wants?" ”

“……”

Jiang Yan deliberately opened his arms, "So many people want it." ”

She raised her chin proudly, "So, brother, people know enough." ”

"Okay, brother is content."

Chen raised his eyebrows, "Brother will give it up when he goes back." ”

Jiang Yan was amused by his words, and Le's body was shaking.

Chen protected her the most: "Be honest, don't fall again." ”

But she was fearless, and Chen Zhi had no choice but to watch closely.

Finally, she wiped away the tears from her laughter and took out a beautiful gift box from her bag.

Chen laughed at her the most: "Jiang Xiaoyan, who gave two gifts on his birthday?" ”

"My family!"

Her crisp answer stunned him, and then he heard her say again, "Brother, that was your birthday gift just now, this is a gift for your previous birthday, and every year in the future, I will give you two birthdays and two gifts." ”

"If my brother doesn't want to celebrate today's birthday, then I'll give you two copies on another birthday."

Chen's eyes were sour, and the hand at his side was trembling slightly.

In fact, Chen Guang and his family would not give him a birthday before, and even at that time, he didn't know if the date of birth on his household registration was filled in by them.

Before he met Jiang Yan, he never celebrated his birthday.

Because he hated this filthy world, he didn't feel that it was something to celebrate.

But just now she said she was grateful for the day that brought him into the world.

Let him look forward to his birthday again.

Chen knew that he should happily accept her gift at this time, and told her that he liked it very much, but he was thinking in his heart at this time, if he was more pitiful, she would pity him more.

At this moment, he didn't know if it was his illness that was causing trouble, or if he was a shady person himself, taking advantage of her sympathy and holding her tightly.

Then he heard his own voice, "I don't want to celebrate these two birthdays." ”

This stumped Jiang Yan, and just as she was meditating, she heard him say, "I want to take the day we met as my birthday, is it okay?" ”

Jiang Yan thought for a while: "The tenth day of August? ”

"No, the second day of July."

It was not the tenth day of August when he met her again at the gate of the community, but the second day of July when he saw her in the welfare home, and the gears of fate began to turn from that day.

So, if there is any day in this world that is worth remembering for him, it is this day.

"Good! Then set it on this day," Jiang Yan's eyes crooked, "In the future, the second day of the seventh month of July every year will be my brother's birthday, so this gift..."

"How can you give a gift and take it back?" Chen Shi took the gift box, "Just make it up when you make it up, rest assured, even if your craftsmanship is terrible, my brother will not be ......."

As he spoke, he opened the gift box, and all the unfinished words paused in his throat.

The tears that Chen had endured for a long time still fell, and they fell on his arm drop by drop.
