Lin Jiajia's birthday is on the tenth day past New Year's Day.

Because she likes to be lively, everyone gets together around this time every year to prepare a surprise birthday party for her.

But because this year is her eighteenth birthday, the Lin family's parents attach great importance to it, and directly on her birthday, they held an extremely grand dinner party for her by the river, and invited almost all of her good friends over, so Lin Jiajia should feel that there should be no other surprises on her birthday this year.

Li Cang glanced at He Minglang on WeChat and the new message they sent to him, and before Lin Jiajia came back with milk tea, he quietly flipped over the mobile phone screen again.

"What kind of moth is Tao Jingran doing, why do you have to let us come to his school?"

Lin Jiajia sat back opposite Li Cang with two cups of freshly made milk tea, obviously being called out to play early in the morning, and she was not in a very happy mood.

"I don't know." Li Cang leaned back on the sofa, as if she was as unaware as she was.

The two sat in the milk tea shop opposite the gate of the experimental middle school, waiting for more than half an hour, and waited from nine o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock for a few minutes, Tao Jingran was late, and pushed open the door of the milk tea shop with a cold chill.

"I've been waiting for a long time, there was a little accident, I met a student from our school on the way, and I chatted with him a little more."

He smiled and pulled out his chair and sat down, his face showing a little guilt.

Lin Jiajia patted the table dissatisfied: "Come on, what are you asking us to come out for?" I looked at the weather forecast, and it seems to be snowing today, and I guess I'll be cold to death when I go home later. ”

"Don't worry." Tao Jingran was unhurried, and after sitting down, he began to take out his mobile phone to order milk tea, "Anyway, I'm going out, it doesn't matter if it snows, as long as you don't hang around outside and stay indoors, no matter how big the snowstorm is, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Today, Tao Jingran's task is to drag Lin Jiajia outside with Li Cang, until the venue is set up over there, and then bring her over.

After he ordered the milk tea, he began to chat with them without words: "Anyway, the top student I just met on the road, aren't you curious about who it is?" ”

"Who is it?"

Lin Jiajia didn't have any special desires to know, but when he talked about it, she couldn't help but follow his train of thought.

"Shao Qingfang!"

Tao Jingran's eyebrows fluttered, she seemed to be very confident, and when she mentioned this person, they would immediately be interested.

It's a pity that Lin Jiajia just sneered: "That's the one who escorted Tsinghua?" What do people have to talk to you about? It's not like you're holding on to people all the way and refusing to let go, and pulling people to chat, right? Want to get a taste of the joy of a top student? ”

"Say what, say what!"

When Tao Jingran heard this, he slapped the table, and his face was a little grim.

"You're completely looking down on people, Lin Jiajia, then he and I are both men, both carbon-based creatures in this world, what can't we talk about? What's more, according to what you say, then Cangcan's usual grades are good, don't I have nothing to talk about with Cangcan? You ask Cang, when am I not her most loyal listener? Does she agree with you? ”

“……”

Li Cang didn't expect that she sat on the side and didn't speak, and this war without gunpowder would affect her.

She glanced at Tao Jingran, as if she couldn't listen to it, silently picked up the milk tea, pinned her face to the window, and chose to refuse to answer this question.

Although it is Saturday today, public schools have to make up classes even on Saturdays, so there are guards standing guard at the school gate, and although the semi-closed gate is deserted, there are occasionally students in school uniforms who come in and enter through the small gate on the side.

She shielded Lin Jiajia and Tao Jingran from the ongoing quarrel, and bracked her head boringly, looking at the eye-catching plaque directly above the gate of the experimental middle school from this perspective.

It is said that it was an inscription left by the first principal of Sikko.

Li Cang doesn't know much about calligraphy, but he can also see that it is calligraphy.

She stared at the plaque for more than ten minutes.

She's been like this lately, and when she sees something, she likes to stare at it in a daze, not knowing what she's thinking.

By the time she came back to her senses, the two people sitting opposite her had stopped arguing and miraculously began to discuss the topic of girls' hobbies.

……

"So you'd suggest I'd better give her a bag?" Tao Jingran humbly asked.

Lin Jiajia hates that iron is not steel: "Tsk, how many times have I said it!" Creative bags, flowers, and cards, no one is missing! ”

"That's a bag." Tao Jingran, a straight man of steel, understood in his heart, "Wouldn't it be good to call the store to help pack the flower card when the time comes?" I spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a bag, and they won't even prepare a flower card for me? ”

“……”

"Of course, if you ask for it, they will still prepare it for you."

"That's it!"

……

These two heads got together, and Li Cang didn't know how whimsical they were, and soon, they talked about cyberpunk and mecha warriors from what kind of creative bags they had......

She frowned, changed her posture and propped her head, and after listening carefully for a few minutes, she finally figured out the routine.

Tao Jingran deliberately made up a girl he liked in order to delay Lin Jiajia's time, and asked her to give him advice.

She raised her eyebrows, admiring his brain circuits incomparably, stretched out her hands for a lazy gap, and saw the door of the bubble tea shop being pushed open again, and a few girls came in.

She glanced at the time, and before she knew it, it was already noon.

The girls who just entered the door were all wearing the uniforms of the experimental middle school, and they seemed to be the first to rush out of the school gate.

They stood not far away and ordered, and several of them seemed to know Tao Jingran, and after squirming at their table for a while, someone stood up and shouted Tao Jingran.

Tao Jingran finally stopped communicating with Lin Jiajia and turned around to say hello.

"Wow." Lin Jiajia squeezed her eyebrows, "You are still quite popular in the experiment?" ”

"That's it! Who am I? ”

After Tao Jingran said hello to others, he turned around and planned to continue to have in-depth exchanges with her on how to chase a girl who loves art and is not short of money.

Li Cang was not interested in listening more, and after yawning, he finally found the mobile phone that had not been moved for a long time.

He Minglang and the others sent her a lot of messages in the morning, all to inform her of the progress of the party preparations.

According to their plan, the party was officially ready, and they could take Lin Jiajia over at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so they had to settle a lunch outside at noon.

She replied "received" to He Minglang, raised her head, and was about to ask the two people opposite what they wanted to eat at noon, but unexpectedly found that there was a gaze not far away, which was carefully falling on her.

She crossed over to the two figures across from her and met the gaze directly.

It's a pretty cute girl with a good look and temperament, and she looks quite harmless.

Li Cang's eyes were so cold that there was no temperature to speak of, and as soon as they were projected, they frightened people and quickly lowered their heads.

Li Cang stared at her for two seconds, remembering that she was the one who had just greeted Tao Jingran.

She didn't know why she kept staring at her, but she had never lacked staring eyes since she was a child, so she only looked at her for two seconds and didn't take her to heart anymore.

She withdrew her indifferent eyes, quickly tapped the desktop with her mobile phone, and asked, "What do you eat at noon?" ”

"Huh?"

Tao Jingran was suddenly interrupted, as if he had only realized that the time was actually noon.

He looked around and said, "Wait a minute, I ordered a private dish on Hengshan Road at noon, I just forgot to tell you, Shao Qingyan will also eat with us at noon, my dad is planning to change my brother to a math tutor recently, hasn't he always been very good at math?" I told him about it in the morning, and I was going to talk to him about it at noon. ”

"Did you really run into someone else's top student in the morning?" Lin Jiajia was surprised, and always thought he was joking.

"Just kidding, who am I? Is it possible to tell such a lie? ”

Tao Jingran was very disdainful of her conjecture, opened Shao Qingyan's WeChat page on his mobile phone, and shook it triumphantly.

"I don't just know people, I chat with them, and I exchanged WeChat with them in the morning. Wait a minute, I'll send a message to ask him if he's done, he seems to be going back to school this morning to do some materials, busy with him escorting that matter......"

Speaking of the escort, Tao Jingran's face always had a sense of pride and pride.

Seeing him talking to himself, he began to bury his head in contact with the other party, Lin Jiajia finally got free and took the opportunity to sit next to Li Cang.

"Look at his deterioration, as if he was the one who escorted Tsinghua."

Li Cang smiled, and indeed felt that Tao Jingran had such a consciousness.

Lin Jiajia quietly leaned closer to Li Cang, and continued: "Fortunately, I remembered to put on makeup when I went out this morning, I didn't expect that the top student I missed two days ago can still meet today, Cangcan, remember to remind me later, keep my ladylike image, I'm afraid that I will be choked by Tao Jingran, so I can't help but quarrel with him." ”

Li Cang was puzzled: "Are you looking forward to it again?" ”

"Hee-hee." Lin Jiajia smiled, "It's okay if I didn't meet before, then I happened to meet today, and I have to eat together, how can I not look forward to it?" ”

She blinked her eyes in a flash, and when she laughed and didn't speak, she really looked like a lady and well-behaved.

Li Cang couldn't help but snort, and promised to watch more for her later.

In Cloud City at noon, fine snow really began to fall in the sky.

Tao Jingran finally raised the phone after typing and communicating with the other party for a while.

"Forget about eating, I'll just tell you about the make-up class now, what do you want......"

Li Cang faintly heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

It was clean, crisp, but it was blurry, like the snow was falling outside.

Tao Jingran was in the increasingly noisy milk tea shop, and talked back to him: "Oh, Xueba, the seats in my restaurant have been booked, and the number of people who said that they are all ready, and the dishes and tableware are all ready, if you don't go now, then the three of us will eat the dishes of four or five people, and we won't be able to finish it......"

I have to say that Tao Jingran has always had a good ability to persuade people to eat, maybe he went to school with his father's business.

In the face of his attack, it seemed that he couldn't parry, and it didn't take long for Li Cang to hear a slight sigh on the other end of the phone, and then spit out two words - "Okay".

Tao Jingran immediately smiled, and reported to him the location of the bubble tea shop where they are now.

Li Cang didn't know why, but when he listened to Tao Jingran report the direction, he seemed to suddenly have some kind of magical induction.

She turned back with a sense of happiness and looked out the window again, which was already crowded.

Outside the window, the sky is covered with fine snow, the students who are starting to raise their umbrellas one after another, the background that is getting whiter and whiter, and the teenagers in black down jackets who are slowly approaching......

That was the first time that Li Cang and Shao Qingyan looked at each other.

Many years later, separated by a distance of time and space, a straight distance of more than 5,000 miles, she will inevitably remember that noon in the experimental middle school.

The young man was cold and stood quietly outside her glass window.

And what she reciprocated was a pair of arrogant eyes in winter.

They looked at each other through thick glass windows.

Falling from the windows was snow and the sound of people.
