The only thing that had anything to do with He Chao during the entire He family banquet was getting He Chao to cut the cake.

He Mingyi held He Chao's hand, with a kind face on his face. He first stood in the most central position, delivered a speech sincerely, and then patted He Chao's shoulder with tears in his eyes, expressing that he was really happy to see his son grow up.

He Chao responded one by one, and under He Mingyi's leadership, he slowly cut the cake.

Before he could use any force, the cake knife cut in hard, splitting the whole cake in two.

He Chao was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look at He Mingyi, a strange smile flashed on his face.

After cutting the cake, He Mingyi took He Chao to meet many uncles and friends, and socialized for about half an hour.

He Chao finally found an excuse to sneak out, and just as he was about to sneak out, Bai Shao followed and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Bathroom." He Chao lied without changing his face.

Bai Shao asked the question while looking around, as if he was looking for Jiang Yu, "Don't lie to me, you want to run?"

He Chao didn't deny it either, he pushed Bai Shao away, "Get out of the way, my sister and I agreed to meet at ten o'clock."

Hearing this, Bai Shao properly expressed his understanding, he shrugged, "Then you go, I won't tell your father."

He Chao looked at him expressionlessly, but said nothing.

Bai Shao asked again: "Have you seen Jiang Yu?"

He Chao stepped back when he heard the words, "He's not here anymore, he's looking for someone to go somewhere else, don't hang around here."

Bai Shao chewed on the words full of momentum, always felt that he meant something, which was quite different from the previous dismissive appearance, as if insanity.

He Chao didn't say much, left Baishao, and went straight to the atrium. He hurriedly ran across the corridor, and saw that the sofa where he and Jiang Yu were sitting was empty, his heart was startled suddenly, and his hands and feet became cold.

He subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, and felt a little uncomfortable. When he realized his movements, He Chao quickly put down his hands, stood up straight, and let out a long breath.

He Chao adjusted his bow tie, touched the moonstone that he had just brought up, and wanted to remember Jiang Yu's appearance before, when he heard Jiang Yu say, "He Chao?"

He Chao was startled, turned his head to look in surprise, and saw Jiang Yu standing under the fortune tree beside him, looking at him in surprise.

"What’s wrong with you?"

He Chao felt his teeth trembling slightly, and his fingertips seemed to be numbed by electricity. He was a little confused about the situation. He wanted to laugh and cry, and asked, "You... what's wrong with you?" ?”

Jiang Yu was surprised, "I went to the bathroom."

He Chao stepped forward, held Jiang Yu's hand, then bit his lip in fear, "I thought you were gone."

Jiang Yu shook his head, "I promise you, I won't leave."

He Chao's face turned hot with embarrassment from these words. He always felt that he was too nervous tonight, and seemed to think too much. This kind of real feeling of possession was too illusory, as if it was a dream when he opened his eyes, and it all disappeared. not see.

He squeezed Jiang Yu's hand hard, feeling the sweat in his palm, "Let's go."

······

The bustling city near the hotel is not clean even at night, but the air is much better.

Row upon row of high-end residential areas around are faintly indistinct, and the lights are dimly lit, which is not realistic at all.

He Chao dragged Jiang Yu out of the back door of the hotel, and trotted all the way to the gate of a residential complex.

Jiang Yu was curious, "Your family lives here, right?"

He Chao smiled, "Of course not, I parked my bicycle here."

With that said, He Chao pushed out the bicycle from the parking lot on the right hand side of the community.

Jiang Yu was taken aback, "Are you still riding a bicycle here to celebrate your birthday?"

He Chao pursed his lips, without explaining, he took out the towel he just took out from the hotel, wrapped it on the cushion behind him, and called Jiang Yu, "Come up, I'll take you away."

Jiang Yu hesitated for a while and asked, "Have the towels been disinfected?"

He Chao was full of nonsense, "Well, I watched them sterilize."

Jiang Yu groaned, sat up slowly, pulled the waist of He Chao's suit, and said carefully: "I have never sat on the back of a bicycle."

He Chao laughed, and pulled Jiang Yu's hand in front of his lower abdomen, "Catch it, I'll take you to sit down today."

The two of them rode bicycles on the night road, and they didn't feel cold at all, as if they were still warm.

He Chao's heart seemed to have jumped into flames, like lava that was about to move in a dark crater, and this narrow path, like a Milky Way across the sky, continuously guided their way forward.

The head-on wind blew up Jiang Yu's hair and clothes, puffing up his sleeves. When He Chaomei stepped on the pedal, Jiang Yu felt the wind stronger.

An emotion that he didn't know whether it was joy or fear was rolling in his heart.

He Chao didn't know if he noticed Jiang Yu's expression, he accelerated his pedaling speed, he turned his head and smiled and said, "I want to go faster."

Jiang Yu noticed He Chao's smile. Under the street lamp, that side eye in the night seemed to be plated with gold, shining like the scorching sun.

"Okay! Hurry up!" Jiang Yu called.

Jiang Yu's voice has always been very small and thin, at least not shouting.

However, tonight, Jiang Yu felt that there was something driving him deep in his heart, and this sentence suddenly popped out of his mouth, and it was only after he yelled that Jiang Yu realized his abnormality.

However, Jiang Yu didn't panic or fear, but laughed instead.

Not a light laugh, but a clear, passionate, passionate laugh.

He Chao turned his head sideways, looked at Jiang Yu's face, and couldn't help laughing. In those black eyes shining with pure light, He Chao suddenly realized that if there is so-called happiness in this world, then this person It was Jiang Yu, the perfection and beauty in his heart.

The two laughed loudly all the way, crossed the road, passed the community, and came to the empty stone road by the river.

Jiang Yu never thought that sitting on a bicycle could feel this kind of freedom.

He raised the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes, and felt the wind piercing his face, and the heat under his skin made him more addicted to this strange feeling.

He shouted: "He Chao, I'm so happy!"

This section of the road by the river only took about seven or eight minutes, but Jiang Yu felt that it passed quickly. When He Chao turned left and entered the alley, Jiang Yu still looked back reluctantly.

After leaving the riverside, He Chao's cycling speed slowed down, but he kept his pace and continued to move forward.

When He Chao stopped slowly, Jiang Yu realized that the place He Chao took him to was the White Bird Tavern.

Jiang Yu got out of the car and stood in front of the tavern door, the sound of her heartbeat echoing in her ears.

He Chao took his hand, "Come in."

Jiang Yu was pulled by him as if manipulating, and slowly entered the tavern.

At this time, the business of the tavern was at its best, but there was no one inside, only one light was on, and the sound of them opening and closing the door sounded harsh.

Jiang Yu couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Why did you come to the tavern?"

He Chao let go of his hand, turned to face Jiang Yu, with a happy smile on his face, he opened his arms, "Jiang Yu, welcome to my real birthday party."

As soon as the words fell, He Xu came out of the kitchen with two glasses of drinks, and ruthlessly mocked: "He Chao, don't you feel ashamed for saying such things?"

He Chao: "..."

Brother Xia came out with a plate of fried chicken nuggets. Hearing He Xu's words, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Ah! Youth! It's so beautiful!"

He Chao blushed.

Jiang Yu looked at them in surprise, as if he had come to his senses, "You want to spend your birthday with Brother Xia and the others, not with your parents."

He Chao hummed, "And you."

After a while of silence, He Xu put the drink on the table and reached out, "Hi, I'm He Chao's older sister, He Xu."

Jiang Yu looked at her hand, not wanting to shake it, "Hi, I'm He Chao's classmate, Jiang Yu."

He Xu wasn't embarrassed, and withdrew his hand lightly, then looked Jiang Yu up and down, and asked, "You two just came over from the hotel?"

Jiang Yu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Brother Xia immediately asked, "Didn't you eat the cake?"

He Chao pulled out the chair and motioned Jiang Yu to sit down, "I cut the cake without eating, and Jiang Yu didn't go in to look at it."

Jiang Yu immediately retorted in a low voice, "I went in to see, when you cut the cake, you ruined a good cake!"

He Chao's hands stopped, and then he smiled, "Fortunately, it's not strawberry cake."

Jiang Yu also felt right, "Indeed."

The two laughed tacitly.

Brother Xia clicked his tongue twice, "The cake is in the kitchen, I just made it not long ago, wait a minute."

He Xu followed Brother Xia into the kitchen to get cakes and other drinks to eat, and sat down after busying for a while.

Jiang Yu looked at the candles on the birthday cake that said eighteen, and suddenly remembered that He Chao had never made a wish at the banquet before.

He belatedly felt that He Chao's family didn't seem to be happy, or it was similar to his own.

His parents are roughly the same kind of people as Jiang Zhiyuan.

Jiang Yu looked at He Chao and felt more sympathy for him.

He Xu turned off the light, "He Chao, hurry up, it's past ten o'clock."

He Chao couldn't listen to her at all. He glanced at Jiang Yu first, whispered something in Jiang Yu's ear, and then blew out the candles.

Afterwards, He Chao happily took a cake knife and cut a piece of cake for everyone, adding a lot of strawberries to it.

Jiang Yu took it over, a little happy, "I like strawberry cake."

Brother Xia glanced at He Chao meaningfully, "Yes, yes, I know."

In fact, He Chao insisted on coming here to celebrate this birthday. He didn't even have a birthday song. He just blew out the candles and shared the cake, but He Chao couldn't hide the smile and joy on his face.

He took a bite of the cake, then held his chin and looked at everyone with a smile.

Jiang Yu asked, "Are you happy?"

"Well, I'm very happy." He Chao glanced at He Xu who was looking at him, and quickly leaned into Jiang Yu's ear, saying, "I'm not as happy as when I was riding a bicycle."

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Yu didn't know why her heart was full, and she was extremely happy.

He hummed, "I am also very happy."

He Xu: "..."

After distributing the cake, He Xu and Brother Xia started chatting, eating fried chicken, and talked about the boys' problems in the youth season.

Jiang Yu didn't listen carefully. He wiped his hands, took out his phone, and checked the time. It was eleven o'clock.

He Xu was still talking, a little fiercely, "He Chao, you don't have a few days left, you don't want to get better after that, life is going to be hard!"

Jiang Yu looked up in surprise, "What? Why is there not a few days left in He Chao?"

He regretted that he didn't listen to them. Now that he realized it, why did the plot go wrong?

It's clear that the warm birthday turned into a criticism meeting?

He Xu glanced at Jiang Yu, ready to say something.

He Chao suddenly stood up, pulled Jiang Yu up, and said, "I'll take you back."

Jiang Yu didn't move, and asked, "Are you terminally ill?"

"..."

He Xu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing first, "It's not like that, he's so lively that he can punch you on the spot."

He Chao was angry, "Sister!"

He Xu ignored him, "My brother is very strange..."

He Chao's expression changed, "Jiang Yu, I'll take you back."

Before Jiang Yu could react, he was dragged out of the tavern by He Chao. His face was a little pale, as if he had been hit, and he pushed out the bicycle with a dejected expression.

Jiang Yu stood behind him and kicked the stones, feeling that something was wrong with He Chao's emotional changes.

"He Chao, if you need anything, you can tell me."
