I can save it

In the blink of an eye, it was Shen Mian's birthday.

He was born after the beginning of winter, so on his birthday, the weather had completely cooled down, and the osmanthus tree in the yard had lost a single flower, but the wintersweet in the corner began to bloom.

Pei Zhiyi has been staying at Shen Mian's house since yesterday, and is now helping Shen Mian's father to make a cake. The two men, who are not low in height and good looks, are studying flower mounting together in the kitchen, carefully placing cut strawberries on the cake, and occasionally laughing In two sentences, the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

But his own son, Shen Mian, was paralyzed on the sofa. Today, he is the birthday star, so he is justifiably lazy outside. His mother, Su Ying, also doesn't know how to cook, and she also eats sunflower seeds on the sofa with her son.

Su Ying looked at Pei Zhiyi in the kitchen, standing with Shen Changhe, both wearing black turtlenecks, at first glance they looked like father and son, she couldn't help but smile.

Sometimes she felt that she had raised three children, Pei Zhiyi was the eldest son, caring and sensible, but the next two younger ones were not good enough, they were mischievous and mischievous.

Su Ying smiled and said to Shen Mian: "Do you still remember, when I was pregnant with your sister, I made a baby kiss with your Auntie Lian, thinking that the fat and water would not flow into other people's fields, Zhiyi is such a good-looking girl Boy, it's better to be cheaper than Xiaoyu when others are cheap."

Shen Mian knew about this, although the parents only talked about it and didn't take it seriously, but when they were young, adults often made fun of it.

When Shen Yu was playing house, she wanted to be Pei Zhiyi's bride, but unfortunately Pei Zhiyi didn't cooperate and kept pulling him, insisting that Mianmian was the bride.

Now Shen Mian doesn't like to listen to his mother talk about this even more. He used to be able to joke along with him, but now he just finds it harsh.

He said: "What age is it, you still talk about arranged marriages, feudalism is not feudalism."

Su Ying didn't feel her son's depression at all, and continued chatting while eating melon seeds: "Xiaoyu is just a little younger, in fact, we were talking about you and Zhiyi at the beginning. When I was pregnant with you, every reaction was like Girl, it turned out that you were born a boy, which made me so angry."

Back then, she wanted a daughter wholeheartedly, and it took three days after giving birth to Shen Mian to accept this reality.Like her, Yu Lian pinned all her hopes on her before she gave birth to a daughter.

It happened that the last two were boys, which really disappointed them.

When she said this, Pei Zhiyi happened to come out, and as soon as he finished baking a plate of small biscuits, he packed some for Su Ying and Shen Mian to taste.

Because Shen Mian was holding the hot cocoa in one hand and the melon seed basin in the other, Pei Zhiyi habitually fed the cookie into Shen Mian's mouth.

Shen Mian ate one, and said to Pei Zhiyi, "More."

Su Ying looked at the two boys from the side, feeling vaguely strange.

It's outrageous enough that her own son enjoys taking care of him like a little waste, but Pei Zhiyi is not impatient at all, and there are smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows.

If it wasn't for Shen Mian being a boy, she would have absolutely suspected that Pei Zhiyi had taken a fancy to her little fool.

But before she could think about it, Pei Zhiyi asked her, "Aunt Su, what are you talking about?"

Su Ying smiled and said what she just said again.

Pei Zhiyi smiled after hearing this, and said, "If Mianmian is a girl, she should be pretty."

Shen Mian was not happy anymore, and lightly kicked Pei Zhiyi: "I think you are more beautiful when you are a girl."

The two fought childishly for a while, as if they were back in kindergarten, Pei Zhiyi relied on his height, and took all of Shen Mian's snacks away, Shen Mian was so angry that he scratched his waist.

Su Ying watched the fun from the side, and gradually forgot the doubts that flashed in her mind just now.

At five or six o'clock, Shen Yu, who had gone out to take piano lessons, also came back, and the whole family sat together for dinner. As the birthday star, Shen Mian wore a pointed hat on her head.

But Shen Mian and Shen Yu, brother and sister, are naturally restless. After eating for a while, the two of them started throwing nuts at each other childishly and even smeared cream on each other's faces. Talk about future university plans.

He also said that he hoped that Shen Mian would go to x university, and then he would buy a house nearby, and Shen Mian would live with him and someone would take care of him.

Both Su Ying and Shen Changhe were taken aback, but they felt that it was reasonable.

They had long regarded Pei Zhiyi as part of their family, and they even went to the hospital to accompany Pei Zhiyi to take care of him when he was sick, so they naturally knew that he was just like Shen Mian and his brothers.

The two brothers live together, and there seems to be no problem.

But Su Ying still took a worried look at Shen Mian, this little fool and Shen Yu reconciled, and they looked at the phone together head to head.

Su Ying said speechlessly, "Then when will he grow up?"

The elder brother dotes on the younger brother, and this is not the way to dote on the younger brother.

"It's fine if he doesn't grow up," Pei Zhiyi answered naturally. Under the light, his eyes were open and frank, hiding his selfishness, "Aunt Su, I will always take care of him."

Su Ying smiled and didn't think much about it, she just felt that Pei Zhiyi was caring.

She said to Pei Zhiyi: "But he will leave you and us one day. He will have his own life and family."

Pei Zhiyi didn't say anything more, just clicked.

After dinner, Shen Mian began to unwrap presents. His parents gave him an astronomical telescope, Shen Yu gave him a sweater, and Pei Zhiyi gave him an Apple computer.

He likes these gifts very much, and they can use them immediately, Shen Mian said happily: "It would be great if I celebrate my birthday every day."

Su Ying laughed at him: "You are so beautiful."

Shen Changhe pushed the cake out from the kitchen and made it all afternoon. The strawberries on it were dripping red, and Shen Mian's age, 18, was written on it with chocolate.

Shen Changhe turned off the lights, lit the candles, and said to Shen Mian, "Make a wish, baby."

It's already the adult's birthday, and sometimes they still habitually call Shen Mian Baby, no matter how old the child is, in their eyes, it still seems to be the little one who brought him home from the hospital.

Shen Mian obediently closed her eyes.

The most important people in his life are by his side now, and if possible, he hopes that this day will never change.

They are always together like this.

After Shen Mian finished making a wish in her heart, she opened her eyes and blew out the candle.

Birthday wishes can only be kept in the heart, so no one asked Shen Mian what wish she made.

The lights were turned back on, and several people sat down and shared the cake.

Su Ying and Shen Changhe didn't urge these children to sleep, they chatted in the living room until after ten o'clock, and even took out the family photo album and showed them one by one.

From the birth of Shen Mian and Pei Zhiyi, to the birth of Shen Yu, to the time when they went to primary school, junior high school, and graduated from junior high school.

In the end, it's what they look like when they grow up.

Every bit of the three of them was recorded in the photo album by Su Ying and Shen Changhe.

Su Ying said with emotion: "When you were young, I always hoped that you would grow up faster. The three children together made my father and I very tired. But now that you have really grown up, I start to miss your little ones again. It's time."

She patted Pei Zhiyi's head: "Especially you, you have been like a little adult since you were a child, and you are more sensible and mature than those two little idiots. But Zhiyi, you can act like a baby with your family, no matter whether you are outstanding or not , are the best in our eyes.”

Pei Zhiyi was rarely silent.

He looked at the last photo in the album, it was a family portrait, the family portrait of him and Shen Mian's family was taken during a trip last year, five people stood together, he was holding Shen Mian, Shen Mian was holding Shen Yu, and Su Ying and Shen Changhe stood behind, with their hands on their shoulders.

No one could tell that he really didn't belong to the family.

But he and the Shen family are not even relatives, but because of the friendship between his parents, he was loved and raised by this family by chance.

He was suddenly a little sad, he rarely had such emotions, and no one could shake him when he decided on something.

But the atmosphere of such a family reunion today was too warm, and Su Ying and Shen Changhe were too gentle to him, which made him feel guilty.

He asked Su Ying with some difficulty: "Aunt Su, if I am no longer sensible, unsteady, or even rebellious, will you still want me to come back for dinner?"

He asked with a smile, as if it was just a joke.

But he knew it wasn't.

Because what he asked for was one of the treasures that Su Ying and Shen Changhe put in their palms.

If there really was such a day, would Su Ying and Shen Changhe still accept him like they do now?

"Yes," Su Ying replied seriously, "No matter what happened to you outside, when you get home, we are a family behind closed doors. Parents may blame you, but they will never stop loving you. "

She also said this to Shen Yu and Shen Mian.

In fact, raising children is very hard, especially they have three children, but she chose to be their parent, and she will always stand behind them.

Shen Yu whimpered, and threw herself into her mother's arms to act like a baby: "Then can your lovely daughter buy another skirt?"

Su Ying smiled and changed her face: "No, because you have already bought five this winter."

Pei Zhiyi listened to their chat, his expression remained unchanged, but his hands on his knees were clenched and then loosened.

He turned his head and glanced at Shen Mian, Shen Mian blushed and was still flipping through the photo album with his head down, ignorant of the dark tide in his heart.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, the night at the Shen family finally came to an end, and everyone went back to their houses to sleep.

As usual, Pei Zhiyi slept in Shen Mian's room. In fact, he had his own room in Shen's house, but because he didn't live there at all, that room later became a small study.

Shen Mian finally got a little sleepy just now, but after taking a bath, he became energetic again. He was lying on the bed playing with his tablet, and wanted to choose a movie to watch.

Pei Zhiyi gently put a small royal blue box in front of him.

Shen Mian was taken aback, then raised her head and asked, "What is this?"

Pei Zhiyi also took a shower, his hair was still stained with a little water, and his nightgown was half-unbuttoned, giving him a different kind of laziness and sexiness.

"Birthday present," he smiled at Shen Mian, "This is what I prepared a long time ago."

Shen Mian faintly sensed that there was something quite important inside, not a gift that was easy to accept like a computer.

He opened the box suspiciously.

I saw an emerald Guanyin with an excellent water head lying inside.

It's very similar to the one Pei Zhiyi hangs around his neck.

Shen Mian heard Pei Zhiyi say: "This is a pair with the one on my neck, and it was given by my grandma. It was enshrined in front of the Buddha, and it has the effect of praying for peace."

He said it lightly, as if there was nothing special about this gift.

But Shen Mian covered the box and pushed it to Pei Zhiyi: "No, I won't accept it. This is too precious and has commemorative significance. How can you give it to me?"

Pei Zhiyi knew that Shen Mian would not accept it so easily.

He looked deeply at Shen Mian: "It's because it's important that I gave it to you. If it's not important, I won't give it away."

Shen Mian's heart skipped a beat.

The way Pei Zhiyi looked at him almost gave him the illusion that Pei Zhiyi liked him.

But he quickly dismissed the thought.

"Then I can't take it either..." Shen Mian muttered, "Does your grandma know that you give it away like this?"

"She knows, I called her to ask for instructions," Pei Zhiyi said relaxedly, he took out the jade pendant, put it on Shen Mian's neck without any explanation, and threatened, "If you don't wear it, I will throw it away."

He is a man of his word, if Shen Mian doesn't want it, he will really throw it down.

Shen Mian knew him very well, so she really didn't dare to move around for a while.

But he still looked at Pei Zhiyi very tangled, feeling that he deserved it.

He said to Pei Zhiyi a little depressed: "Brother, don't...don't be so nice to me..."

If this continues, he really can't leave Pei Zhiyi anymore.

He has already been eroded by the poison named Pei Zhiyi, and one day, this poison will penetrate deep into his lungs, and he will never be able to remove it.

He looked at Pei Zhiyi, his nose even a little sore.

How could there be such painful and sweet torture in the world, the person he likes is the best person in the whole world to him.

Let him worry about gains and losses, make him sad, but also make him happy.

Pei Zhiyi pressed his forehead and said, "Mianmian, you don't know how important you are to me."

It is so important that he is willing to give everything, just for Shen Mian's promise.
