In the afternoon, Ruan Yi received a call from La Susi, saying that the cake he ordered was ready.

After Ruan Yi passed by, the clerk handed him the packaged cake box and a small blueberry cheese mousse.Said that this is a new product recently launched in the store, let him try it to see if he likes it.

Ruan Yi actually doesn't like sweets very much, but he still thanked the clerk for his kindness.He went back with two cake boxes, one big and one small, but he didn't expect to meet Lu Bingchen in the corridor.

In fact, it wasn't too surprising, after all, Lu Bingchen moved across from him.But to be honest, even if they lived next door, they didn't meet many times during this period.

Lu Bingchen seems to be busy with some things recently.Many times, after Ruan Yi took a shower after eleven o'clock, he heard the sound of the door opening next to him.Sometimes at three or four in the morning, he could vaguely hear footsteps in the corridor in his sleep.

He didn't know what Lu Bingchen was doing when he came back so late.Of course, he will not ask.

Lu Bingchen looked at the cake box in his hand and blinked: "You are..." He remembered that Ruan Yi didn't like sweets.

"My sister's birthday is today."

Lu Bingchen was about to speak when his phone rang suddenly, and he glanced at the screen.Ruan Yi didn't have the habit of listening to people's phone calls, so he walked past him, opened the door and walked into the house.

When the clerk gave him the cake, he told him to keep it in the refrigerator to keep the taste.Ruan Yi put the big cake in the refrigerator and thought for a while, he and Li Ke would definitely not be able to finish the big cake, so let's give the small cake to anyone, so as not to waste it.

Li Ke went shopping with his friends during the day, and when he came in the evening, he plopped down on the sofa like an exhausted salted fish.Ruan Yi was going to take her out for dinner, but seeing that she couldn't even roll over, he had to make do with it at home.It's just okay, except for the more formal cake, all the other dishes are finished dishes bought from the supermarket, and they can be served just by steaming them.Fortunately, Li Ke was not picky, so he ate very happily even if he made do.After eating, she stayed for a while before reluctantly going home.

Ruan Yi asked her to take away the unfinished big cake.There was one small cake left, and he carried it downstairs.

The night wind blows, bringing the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and the laughter of children chasing each other.These fragrances and sounds are blown far away by the wind, and then blown away, like the veil blown up on the window sill, there is an unreal vague feeling like a dream.

Ruan Yi suddenly remembered Li Ke when he was a child.At that time, the second aunt and the second uncle arrived home very late because they were doing errands outside. When the meal was ready, the children from other families had finished eating and gathered in the yard to play.Li Ke listened to the sound of them frolicking below, and ran down without even eating. The second aunt couldn't stop her, so she could only chase after her with a bowl and chopsticks. When she caught up, she stuffed a mouthful into her mouth. .

Ruan Yi was watching from the side.He doesn't like to play with other children like Li Ke, he can play with them, but he can also not play with them.He didn't have to be chased by someone to feed him.At that moment, he looked at the people in front of him, some were his relatives, some were his playmates, and suddenly felt a kind of confusion... not knowing where to put himself.

It seems that it is a bit redundant to put it in any position, and he doesn't seem to want to participate so much, so he must be placed in it.

It was the first time in his life that he felt alone.

Later, he met Lu Bingchen.

Lu Bingchen asked him many times how he fell in love with him, or when he fell in love with him.Ruan Yi always just smiled and didn't answer.

That year, on New Year's Eve, he watched him raise his hand to play the guqin, and the sound of the piano was melodious, like a wind blowing in the wasteland.

A single bird.In this wilderness where there is only the sound of the wind, it will never find any companions.This kind of loneliness with no end in sight is enough to make anyone looking forward to company despair.

But it is not panicked, nor is it depressed.It chirps, rather than calling its companions, it sings and confesses—

Why do people have to get rid of loneliness in this life?

Perhaps Lu Bingchen will never know that Ruan Yi opened his heart to him at that moment.

Lu Bingchen has been busy with a lot of things recently. He didn't plan to answer the phone in the corridor before, but seeing Ruan Yi left, he went back to the room and called the other party back.After listening to the situation over there, he went directly over there.

By the time he finished solving the matter, it was past nine o'clock.

When the car drove to the corner of the street, Lu Bingchen suddenly saw Ruan Yi holding a small cake and talking to an old man.

The old man seemed to come to this yard often to collect waste products. Lu Bingchen had seen him several times since he moved here.He got out of the car and walked towards Ruan Yi.Ruan Yi turned his back to him, and Lu Bingchen didn't worry that he would see it, so he stopped two or three meters away from them.

I heard Ruan Yi say: "Do you want to eat cake?"

Lu Bingchen bit his lip, took out his phone, and quickly sent him a WeChat message: [Ruan Yi, in fact, today is also my birthday. ]

The phone vibrated, and Ruan Yi saw Lu Bingchen's new news.

For a while, he couldn't tell whether he was more speechless or more confused.Lu Bingchen's birthday is not today at all.He didn't know what this person wanted to do, and he didn't bother to care, so he replied: [Happy birthday. ]

Then put the phone in his pocket, and continued to chat with the grandpa who collected the waste: "Grandpa, it's quite sweet, try it."

Lu Bingchen watched helplessly as he handed the little cake to the old man, his face swelled up with anger.
