Eccentricity

Chen Qiran and Gu Qiong stood side by side, two arms' width apart, with their heads bowed, so Gu Qiong couldn't see the sadness in her eyes.

Even if he saw it, Gu Qiong didn't care.When she asked Chen Ziran's birthday, she just wanted to get out of Chen Ziying's birthday.

No one cares about Chen Ziran's birthday, except herself.

The physical education class in the third year of senior high school was very smooth. After the preparatory exercise, the physical education teacher blew a whistle and ordered: "The whole class runs around the playground twice, and then free activities." Then he made a small stool from the equipment room, Holding a thermos, sitting in a shelter from the wind, crossing my legs, I read the newspaper leisurely.

It is said that they ran two laps, but most of the students only ran the first lap, and then stopped and walked slowly on the second lap. Not many finished the serious run, and Chen Ziran was one of them.

Chen Qiran is a dead-headed person who doesn't know how to adapt. He has been like this since he was a child. He is obedient and well-behaved, and he doesn't even know how to be lazy.

In Xichao City in November, the weather was dry and the north wind was blowing. The air seemed to be mixed with fine sand. When running against the wind, I opened my mouth to breathe, and my throat was dry and sore.

Gu Qiong only ran one lap and then slowed down. Seeing that Chen Ziran was about to finish the second lap, he quickly grabbed her wrist and forced her to slow down.

Chen Qiran was puzzled, Gu Qiong waved his hand and said, "I can't run anymore, let's walk for a while."

"But the teacher said..."

"It's okay, everyone is leaving. The teacher is busy drinking tea and reading newspapers, so he has no time to care about us."

Chen Ziran had no choice but to follow Gu Qiong's pace and slowly walk around the plastic track.It was the first time she violated the rules under the nose of the teacher. This feeling was very novel. On the one hand, she was worried about being punished by the teacher, and on the other hand, she felt an inexplicable excitement. She moved, thinking that they would not be discovered, Gu Qiong did not let go of her wrist, seeing her poking around, tugged at her wrist, and smiled, "What are you looking at?"

Chen Ziran scratched her head in embarrassment, "I'm afraid the teacher will find out."

"Coward." Gu Qiong laughed at her.

After walking more than half a circle, Gu Yi inadvertently turned back to the topic about birthdays that had been left out just now, "I see other twins not only look the same, but also dress the same, and they can't tell the difference between sisters when they stand together." Sister, this is the first time I've seen you and Chen Ziying, twins who don't look alike at all. By the way, you and your sister have the same birthday. Will your parents prepare two identical birthday presents for you? ?”

Chen Qiran didn't like the topic of birthdays, and he didn't dare to tell Gu Qiong directly, for fear that she would continue to ask further questions, so he bit his lips, hummed vaguely, and refused to answer.

She recalled that every year on her birthday, her younger sister seemed to receive a lot of presents. In addition to the gifts from her parents, there were also various gifts from classmates and friends. They were piled up in the corner of the living room, piled up high and sparkling. The bright colorful wrapping paper and the beautiful ribbon flowers were too late to be packed until the next day. Chen Ziran passed by, only daring to take a quick look for fear of feeling uncomfortable after seeing too much.

Gift is a beautiful word. It not only represents exquisite items, but also represents the priceless feelings carried by valuable items. Chen Ziying has so many people who love her, so the gifts she receives can pile up into hills.

Chen Ziran also had a gift when she was a child—it was given to herself.

She has no money, so she can't buy the exquisite gadgets displayed in the shop windows, but her hands are very dexterous, and she can fold stars, hearts, origami cranes out of newspapers, fold a lot, and fold a square paper bag, Put all these little things inside, use the cut newspaper strips, tie a bowknot, tie it at the mouth of the bag, and write seriously on the paper bag: For my dearest child Chen Yuran, I wish you a happy birthday.

She carefully put it in her schoolbag the night before, and opened it on her birthday, pretending that it was a distant place. Someone who loved her very much used magic to secretly transform into her schoolbag.

On her birthday, Chen Yuran would be very happy when she dug out this small paper bag from her schoolbag, hid in a place where no one else could see, smiled, and said to herself foolishly: "Thank you, when I grow up, please eat cake."

Just like my sister's birthday, invite those who like you to come, listen to them happily gather together, and sincerely send birthday wishes to yourself.

Chen Ziran didn't understand it when she was a child. She thought that as long as she grew up, she would naturally make many friends.

Unfortunately not.

Later, she didn't even make this humble birthday present for herself.

Because on her 12th birthday that year, Chen Ziying accidentally found the ugly little paper bag she made for herself from her schoolbag. After tearing it open, she found that it was full of worthless origami things. He said to her: "Sister, who gave you this gift? It's so ugly, how dare you give this kind of gift to others? Just throw it away." Then he threw it into the trash can.

Chen Ziran looked at the torn paper bag lying quietly in the trash can, blushing with shame, as if she had been caught by someone for making a mistake, and felt that what Chen Ziying said was right, she was too stupid, no one would care about her in the first place, and she still had to do this It's too embarrassing for such a thing to deceive others.Haven't done it since.

So in this world, the only person who gave Chen Ziran a birthday gift disappeared.

When Chen Ziran grew up, he also laughed at the stupid things he did when he was a child, and he still had naive ideas, thinking that as long as he grows up, he will have friends, relatives, and love.

Actually not.Children who are unloved when they are young will only become annoying adults when they grow up.

Gu Qiong didn't care about Chen Ziran's pale face, he only regarded her as a jogger, and continued to ask her with interest: "What gifts will you all receive? Clothes? Cosmetics? Food and play? What do you like? Then What about Chen Ziying? What kind of gift does she like?"

Gu Qiong was full of thoughts to please Chen Ziying, and giving her something she had always wanted would definitely move her so much that she might even cry into her arms tearfully. Chen Ziying's eyelashes were beautiful, stained with tears, It will definitely be more fresh and beautiful.

She didn't see Chen Ziran's sad eyes that were about to cry.

Chen Ziran didn't want to spoil her interest, so she barely held up the smile on her face, and answered her dryly: "Ziying likes books, if you give her a book she hasn't read, she will be very happy..."

Chen Ziran didn't say what she likes, she's past the age where she dared to be bold and extravagant, and she wouldn't naively think that someone would really give her a birthday present.

Book?Gu Qiong frowned slightly, it was really a cheap hobby, but knowing that Chen Ziying likes books would be easy, it would not be easy to get a book that she hadn't read, it would definitely make her eyes shine with surprise.

Gu Qiong was eager to get excited, completely forgetting that he also asked Chen Ziran what he likes just for the sake of cliché, but Chen Ziran didn't answer.

The author has something to say: I remember that when I first had this idea, I wrote a paragraph of Chen Ziran’s diary. It was originally put in Chapter 1 as a preface, but I forgot it. It probably won’t appear in the main text. , put it here.

----------

Every year on my birthday, I will make the same wish, let me meet such a person, he loves me for a second, and I will love him for the rest of my life.

you ask now?I dare not expect too much.
