Chapter 261: Birthday (Part II)
"Classmate, are you sure these six couriers are all yours?"
"Hmm."
Need a cart?"
"Thank you."
Su Chengyi put six boxes on a cart and transported them back to the dormitory from the school's post station.
He had just seen it, the largest and heaviest one, the sender's signature was Su Zelang, his dear old father.
It's better not to have something that isn't practical.
Otherwise, he would have really packed it up and sent it back.
Su Chengyi took two trips to move things upstairs, only to find that he didn't bring the key, so he had to raise his hand and knock on the door.
It was Li Tao who came to open the door.
"Ho! So much, why don't you send a message asking me to come down and help you move? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to help move the big box in.
"Thank you."
Su Chengyi thanked him first, and then added:
"I'm not sure if I'm in the dorm."
It's a casual reason.
If you just say "you don't need it" or "don't bother", it will seem very unclose and distant.
This is "The Art of Language" that Chu Xiao's squad leader took advantage of the weekend to make up lessons for him.
"What can I do on a weekend night. Remember to call me next time. ”
Li Tao clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you."
Su Chengyi also raised his head and smiled politely.
It's not that he deliberately wants to keep his distance, it's just that it is too difficult for him to get along with his roommates in a short period of time and become those good friends.
"But what are you doing? Do you buy so much at once? ”
Although Li Tao was a little curious, he had a sense of boundaries and did not look at the shipping information.
"No, it's all sent by the family."
Su Chengyi paused, but still didn't say that today was his birthday.
They're not familiar with each other yet, so if you say it like this, people will misunderstand him for a gift.
Li Tao didn't ask, nodded and turned his back and sat down.
Su Chengyi looked around, and Matthew and Shangguan Yu were not there.
But his pile of express boxes is really taking up a lot of space, so he has to open it and clean it up as soon as possible.
He first unpacked the large box that was padded at the bottom.
Sure enough, after the carton was opened, the shape of the leather box inside and the banana fan was already obvious.
Su Chengyi sighed, took the guitar out, and put it down against the desk.
Yamaha's folk guitar, I don't know what the purpose of sending this is.
He doesn't play his guitar very well, and it's an entry-level at best.
The greeting card at the bottom of the box answered his question.
"Happy birthday, son!
Gift Dad thought about it for a long time and felt that a top-notch flirtatious prop - acoustic guitar is exactly what you need!
I believe Dad, no matter what age the girl is, she can't resist the man who plays the guitar and sings "Southern Girl" to her.
In terms of other options, the piano is too forced, the erhu is too classical, and the common problem of flute, flute, and saxophone is that they don't have a mouth to speak when they blow.
You just say that Dad is thoughtful or not!
Come on, strive to get the major events in your life during college, and hold both of you for three years during graduate school.
Daddy loves you, Momoda. ”
Su Chengyi slapped the greeting card on the table with a "snap".
Is there a possibility that he doesn't play the saxophone at all?
There are three more years to hold the two of them.
For some reason, I felt the urge to throw this guitar along with the greeting card.
After thinking about it, forget it.
Su Chengyi sighed and shifted the angle to make the guitar more stable, so as not to bump and fall to the ground.
The sender of the next box is willow, which is relatively light, and Su Chengyi guessed that it should be a winter coat.
I didn't expect it to be a suit inside.
It looks custom-made to his size, with gilded cuffs and classic black and white.
The greeting card was in the pocket of his chest.
"Meaning:
Happy birthday! Did you still enjoy your college life, and did you make any new good friends?
It's okay if you don't have it, take your time.
The key is to eat well, rest well, exercise more, and drink plenty of water.
Recently, winter has come, and I see that the capital has been cooling down, so I should pay attention to keeping warm.
Mom always thinks time is too fast, and in the blink of an eye you will be eighteen years old.
Recently, when I dreamed, I always dreamed that you were lying on the table and doing the Olympiad when you were a child.
Hope for academic progress in the new year of age. No, there seems to be no room for improvement for my children.
All the best, all wishes come true!
The birthday gift mother thought about it for a long time and felt that adult boys really needed such a suit of their own.
Try it when you have time and take a picture of your mom!
Love your mom. ”
Now let's try it, Su Chengyi received the box of the suit in the wardrobe compartment together.
There are no irons in the dorms, which can be a hassle if wrinkled.
During college, there were many occasions when I needed to wear formal clothes to attend, and Yang Liu was very thoughtful.
The next box sender's name is chocolate.
Su Chengyi actually didn't expect this kid to send him a birthday gift, after all, he tricked him before he left, leaving him a box of test papers.
I wonder if it's going to be some kind of revenge trick toy inside.
Su Chengyi looked at the box for a long time before he started to dismantle it.
There's a box of wine chocolates inside; A small rubber soccer toy for decompression, much like the kind often sold at the commissary at the school gate; There are even a few refills.
The greeting card seems to have been made by hand, with ugly lace painted with watercolor pen on the edges.
"Brother Xiaoyi:
Hello! Zhan Xinjia.
Happy eighteenth birthday to you.
This chocolate was delicious, I accidentally stole one.
I'm sorry.
Football toys are the hottest in our class right now, and they are very fun.
I can't run out of refills.
Is college fun? Is there a lot of homework? Mom always said that it would be easy when I got to college, and I didn't believe it, so I believed you.
Please reply as soon as possible!
Sincerely, Regards! ”
The font is crooked, but it's written hard, and it looks like it's done as well as it can.
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh a little, after Sister Lin, a confidant sister, now she feels like she has an unlucky younger brother.
I tore open the wrapper and tasted a piece of chocolate.
It's so sweet that it feels like only a little kid will like it.
No, maybe Chu Qianmian will like it too.
The fourth box was very small, and Su Chengyi put it in his pocket, and he just got up and remembered it.
I don't know the sender's name, and after opening it, it's a USB flash drive.
The letter paper is very classical, even written with a brush, and there is a faint smell of ink when it is opened.
You don't have to look to know who sent it.
Then most of the senders are Li Lao's assistants.
"Chengyi:
See the letter like a meeting. Happy birthday.
How are you doing these days?
The flowers in the courtyard have bloomed a lot, full of vitality, and autumn is better than spring.
What you have entrusted to you has already gained momentum, but you still need to make further plans after you have heard about it.
After thinking about it, Li Mou will take this series of tracks as your adult gift.
I wish you success in both career and study, Zhiyuan is right, and the future belongs to you.
Exactly: it is necessary to know that the young days are the first in the world. ”
Su Chengyi held the USB flash drive, and his mood was a little complicated.
Li Lao's expectations for him are obviously high, partly because of his grandfather, and partly because he really believes that he can do a good job.
Plug the USB stick into the computer, and there are three 45-second or so audios in it, called "Bar", "Street" and "Coast".
There is also a 3-minute audio that has been named "Easter Egg".
Su Chengyi put on headphones and listened to them one by one, and the experience can only be described in a poem.
If you listen to Xianle's ears, it is temporary.
It's hard to imagine that this is the first time Li Lao has dabbled in this type of music, his debut.
The music and drums of the "bar" are confusing and dreamy, and when you listen to it, it is the atmosphere of the last century.
Correspondingly, the "street" creates a sense of bustle and loneliness, and you know that you belong to a stranger when you hear it;
"Coast" is Su Chengyi's favorite, just when he hears it, it is like being on the coast shrouded in night, and the unique smell of the sea breeze is blowing in his face.
It's just too strong.
Li Lao Neng has his current status in the composition industry, and he really doesn't have half a dime.
If you can invite a composer of this level, you don't have to pay for the production budget, and you will be lucky.
Su Chengyi was a little happy for a while, in this way, the game "Disco Elysium" would not be destroyed in his hands.
Even if the game itself is bad, the review will say, "Make music with your heart, make the game with your feet." ”
The last easter egg music was mentioned by Su Chengyi before.
It's best to be demonic and brainwashing, because it's going to be used to make the game BGM of "Meow a Meow".
After listening to it for a short time, Su Chengyi felt that his mind was full of this weird and joyful drum rhythm.
There was even an inexplicable feeling of wanting to shake my legs, and I finally restrained it.
In this case, add BGM, and "Meow Meow" can basically be declared complete.
Only the last two courier boxes remained.
One is from the magic capital, and the sender's name is unknown, but he knows that it is Chen Jinzhi at a glance.
One is from Tang'an, which was sent by Liang Nina, and even sent directly from the guard's room.
Su Chengyi hesitated for a moment and decided to save Chen Jinzhi's to the end.
Liang Nina's box is very small, and when it is opened, it is a glasses case.
Armani's sunglasses.
What is the purpose of this gift?
Su Chengyi opened the greeting card.
"Senior:
Today is also a day to think about seniors to survive.
There are still seven months to go before the college entrance examination, and in the last monthly examination, my score came to the early 600s.
It's getting closer and closer to the seniors, right?
I vaguely heard that the seniors seemed to be very popular at Kyoto University, so I gave sunglasses as a gift.
If you meet someone you hate and don't want to pay attention to, wear it.
Actually, it can't be considered a gift, because you don't need to wait for a birthday as an excuse.
Anything a senior wants, I'll be satisfied.
Aha, it seems a bit perverted to say this, and you should sigh when you see this senior, right?
Hahaha "ヾ (▽) ノ Happy Birthday Oh, senior! ”
Seeing the end, Su Chengyi forcibly resisted the urge to sigh.
But, anyway, she also started to study hard for her own reasons, right?
This can be regarded as a merit.
Children are not sensible, and it will be fine after the second secondary school.
Su Chengyi comforted himself like this, and casually put the sunglasses case on the compartment of the desk.
Chen Jinzhi's gift, which was specially left to the end, Su Chengyi gave the highest respect, sat upright, and opened it with bated breath.
The moment the box was opened, the smell of new tea lingered around after the rain.
Sure enough, in private, she still prefers this light taste.
The gift box is carefully arranged, and on the left is a cashmere scarf from Burberry, a check classic.
On the right is another box, a Rolex Submariner mechanical watch, with a pure black dial, which looks low-key and handsome.
Chen Jinzhi's aesthetic has always been very good.
Su Chengyi put the watch on his wrist and tried it, and he was a little reluctant to wear it for a while.
After removing the scarf, I saw the envelope underneath.
The envelope was glued with a retro fire paint seal, and Su Chengyi pulled it.
In an instant, the pink rose petals fell on his knees.
Su Chengyi was slightly stunned, and then was amused by her romantic little trick.
When I took out the letter paper and unfolded it, the paper still had the fragrance of walking with the petals.
Su Chengyi:
See the words as they are.
As I write this, I'm on my flight to the group's first show.
Before I put pen to paper, I had a brief dream.
Everything I dreamed of until now was a dream, and I went back to the flight back from South Korea.
It stands to reason that you should feel panic and collapse, right?
But on second thought, I was already on the verge of meeting you.
So I actually want to make this dream come true, so that I can like you from the beginning once. ”
"Happy birthday, and happy new year.
Your previous watch was broken, although there were not many opportunities to meet, but I found that you occasionally raised your wrist to look at the watch, so I picked one for you.
Don't be reluctant to wear it just because it's a gift.
The scarf, well, just thinks you'll look good when you wrap it.
Speaking of which, I didn't believe in fate before, and I didn't believe in the so-called "no pole Tailai" and "good things and many grinds".
But since I met you, all the previous suffering has been written off.
When I was face to face with you, you always didn't believe what I said, saying that my eyes would deceive.
Then I will write it down solemnly now, in black and white, and there is no room for comment.
No matter who I am, Chen Jinzhi or Iris, I will always belong to you. ”
The gold content of this last sentence made Su Chengyi a little stunned for a while.
The moment he unfolded the letter, he thought about a lot of what Chen Jinzhi might write, but he didn't think that it would be such a promise.
Su Chengyi folded the letter, picked up the scattered petals one by one, and put them in the envelope.
He raised his eyes to look, and after such a process of receiving gifts for his birthday, his originally neat and simple place suddenly became crowded.
The desk was densely arranged, and it looked a little messy.
Obsessive-compulsive, he got up and wanted to clean up briefly.
But looking at these objects, he pointed his fingers and thought that it was good now.
It is estimated that he received more gifts on this birthday this year than all the birthdays in his previous life combined.
If it had been in the past, he might not have been happy about it, and he might even feel burdened.
Because of the common feelings of people like courtesy, others have prepared gifts for you, and correspondingly, it is reasonable for you to give the same heart when they celebrate their birthdays.
This is one thing that Su Chengyi has been difficult to do in the past, if it is just a money exchange, it is better to say, the problem is that the courtesy is light and affectionate.
At most, he can only be polite and affectionate.
But now his mind has changed. Because receiving a gift is indeed a pleasant surprise and a happy thing from the bottom of my heart.
There was also a very small cake box on the table, made by Miss Chu.
The original plan was to be a three-tiered cake, but it turned out that without the guidance of her family's dim sum chef, it would be difficult for Miss Chu to complete such a great undertaking by herself.
It's a beautiful imagination, but what comes out of the end is a lump of black charcoal, as abstract as the snowman outside the door.
But before she left to go back to school, she still rushed out such a cupcake.
Su Chengyi himself doesn't care at all, he hasn't eaten cake for many years.
But Chu Tingmian insisted that this was a sense of ritual and ordered him to eat it well.
Su Chengyi sat down again and lifted the lid of the box.
The cake base is coated with cream and garnished with simple strawberries.
Su Chengyi took out a lighter from the drawer.
This was bought on the day of registration, he does not smoke, and is going to use it to light mosquito coils.
But the capital is different from Tang'an, there are not so many mosquitoes, so I haven't used it since I bought it.
"Click."
Su Chengyi pressed the button of the lighter, and a cluster of flames surged up, shaking slightly.
He closed his eyes and made a wish.
"Year after year, good times are always there."
