you try to mark again

?? At this time point, the Hongyu District is very quiet. There is no moon tonight, and the sky is dark. The weather forecast sent a reminder, ? Saying that it is likely to snow late at night.

??Tomorrow is December 12st, which is also Ji Qiao's birthday,? But in fact, if Jiang Xiao hadn't mentioned the plan to celebrate his birthday with him last time? Ji Qiao would have almost forgotten about it.

?? "Cheng Yu and the others are here too." Jiang Xiao squeezed his fingertips with his hands in his pockets, "Now they are at your house."

?? "Guessed." Ji Qiao said with a chuckle.

?? "You saw the WeChat message, didn't you?" Jiang Xiao also smiled, "Cheng Yu later regretted it in the group and howled like hell."

?? There were few people on the road, and the two held hands until they entered the Tongzilou.This time it was Jiang Xiao who walked ahead of him, half a step ahead, and when he came to the door, he took the key from Ji Qiao's hand: "I'll open the door."

?? "click" sound.

?? The door was unlocked,? Ji Qiao heard a low voice saying happy birthday, ? Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiao turned her body slightly.

??Even though he had roughly guessed what would happen when he returned home, Ji Qiao was caught off guard by an emotion called joy when he focused his eyes and saw the scene in front of him clearly.

?? A birthday song suddenly rang in her ears,? Qiao Xiaoyan was holding the cake, and ? Cheng Yu and Xu Jiacheng followed behind her.On the candle in the shape of "18", there is a small orange flame flickering slightly in the darkness, condensing into a small light spot and falling in the eyes of everyone in front of you.

?? "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Ji Qiao!!"

?? Four people sang together. I don't know who has a loud voice and is a little tone deaf, which makes the whole song a little bit off.

??Cheng Yu jumped over and ran over, put on Ji Qiao's special crown hat for birthday stars, stood beside him, arched his shoulders and said excitedly: "Brother Qiao, make a wish! You can make three birthday wishes!! Enough!" "

?? Ji Qiao blinked lightly.

??The birthday cake in front of me was obviously custom-made with a lot of thought. In front of the small house stood a Q-version villain. The villain was expressionless and pursed his lips. He knew it was him at a glance, but he was dressed in fluffy clothes Milky white dog pajamas, with two small ears on the hat, it looks cute and funny.

??It's hard to describe the feeling at this moment. I'm full of emotions. I seem to have a lot to say, but I don't know where to start.Ji Qiao never expected such a birthday, he breathed out, put his hands together, and gently closed his eyes.

??The first wish is that Qiao Xiaoyan can always be healthy.

??Second wish, hope.....

??He opened his eyes quickly, and saw Jiang Xiao who was smiling at the corner of his mouth in Yu Guangzhong, and seemed to be looking at him too.

??——I hope that future birthdays will be like today.

?? Although you can make three wishes, Ji Qiao didn't say any more.

??As long as the first two wishes can really come true.

??Cheng Yu has been watching secretly from the side, and seeing Ji Qiao opened his eyes, he is busy going through the process again: "Blow out the candles!"

"Yeah." Ji Qiao responded, and took a deep look at the cartoon candle in front of her that said 18 years old. Eighteen... he thought.

??The candles were blown out, and when the lights in the living room were turned on, there were two more "bang bangs" in succession. Xu Jiacheng and Jiang Xiao each held a firework tube in their hands, and ribbons and small sequins fell from the sky, covering Ji Qiao's body.

??"Happy birthday!!"

??Cheng Yu, who was in a frenzy, rushed up to hug Ji Qiao again, but before he got close, Jiang Xiao grabbed Ji Qiao by the collar and pulled him back: "No, I hugged Ji Qiao just now."

"?" He was stunned for a moment, and just about to refute, he saw that the man who was pulling on his collar took advantage of the gap, and used the gap to put his arms around Ji Qiao, so angry that he turned around and went to find Xu Jiacheng Find psychological comfort.

?? Four people laughing together in the corner of the living room.

"Okay, okay, let's make trouble later, let's eat the cake first." Qiao Xiaoyan greeted everyone to go to the dining table, the chocolate-flavored cake was cut into five pieces, and served to everyone on a paper plate before.

"Brother Qiao, this is for you!" Cheng Yu sat on the "special seat" he had reserved long ago, and took out a long black gift box from the schoolbag behind him, "Please give me more advice! Continue to be my big brother!"

??He said these words in a cadence and majesty, as if he really wanted to visit the pier, which amused the people at the table.

?? I didn't stop eating the cake, and I didn't know how to play the cream war.As the birthday star, Ji Qiao was naturally persecuted the most. After a few rounds, his face was covered in patches.

??Qiao Xiaoyan was sitting on the sofa watching the kids making trouble, and while smiling, she turned on the camera mode with her mobile phone.

??Such a cute picture, of course it should be kept, and it can be used to tease her precious son next time.

But when I took pictures from the perspective of the mobile phone, I saw that Ji Qiao was smeared until only two eyes remained in the camera. It was obviously dark and funny, but the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually faded, and the eyes floated There was a thin layer of water mist.

??It's good...it's really good, so there's nothing to cry about.

??Qiao Xiaoyan blinked vigorously, forced back the tears, laughed again, and commanded as if watching the excitement: "Hey Xiao Jiang! Put another piece on Xiao Qiao's right cheek! There is an empty space there !"

??Ji Qiao who was cheated by her mother: "......"

?? The result of making a fuss while eating was that I failed to eat a few bites of the cake, and instead spent ten minutes washing my face and cleaning it up.It was almost one o'clock after this pass, and it was too late to go home and it was not safe, so even though Cheng Yu felt that he hadn't enjoyed himself enough, he could only obey the majority.

?? "Mom, I'll go out and see them off." Ji Qiao washed her face and came out of the bathroom. There were still some tiny drops of water on the tips of her hair.

"Go, let's go." Qiao Xiaoyan waved her hand outwards, her eyes were bent openly, "It's fun with friends, it's okay to come back later."

??Put Xu Jiacheng and Cheng Yu into the taxi, Jiang Xiao didn't go home immediately, he took Ji Qiao and sat down on a bench near the roadside, heaved a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Finally it's just the two of us personal."

?? "Close your eyes and stretch out your hands."

?? This is to give him a birthday present.

?? Ji Qiao closed her eyes obediently, only to hear a rustling sound in front of her. Jiang Xiao unzipped the schoolbag, then handed something over, and placed it lightly in his hand.

?? "Happy birthday baby."

??The touch of fingertips and palms was slightly cool. Ji Qiao opened his eyes and saw a very delicate loose-leaf cowhide notebook in his hand. There was a small hollow circle in the middle, and a little Superman's head was drawn there.

??He couldn't help being startled, this little superman looks familiar, he even saw it before going out this morning, in the small photo frame by the table.

"Why are you in a daze?" Jiang Xiao's eyes were bright, and he raised his chin to signal, unable to hold back his anticipation, "Open it and have a look."

?? Ji Qiao pursed her lips, and was stunned again when she turned to the first page.

??It’s still a stick figure, but this time the scene is in a deep alley. Superman stands there expressionless, and there are four other stick figures lying on the ground at his feet. Instead of emoticons, the four characters "Luo", "Hua", "Liu", and "Water" are on top of each other.

??——This is being beaten to the ground.

?? This painting really has Jiang Xiao's personal style. Ji Qiao smiled lightly. When she raised her eyes, she noticed a time marked on the upper right corner of the page, which said August.

??He suddenly seemed to realize something, and turned down another sheet.

??The second picture is a stadium, with Superman holding his hands behind his back and looking down, with his eyes closed in a cold and disdainful expression.A small bubble followed him, with the words: "85 out of [-] points."

?? Still in August.

??Further back is the basketball court. Little Superman stands outside the three-point line, jumping high with his arms raised.The basketball was thrown from his hands, drew a parabola, and fell into the basket perfectly, while exclamation marks flew wildly, arousing a menacing flame on the basketball hoop.

?? And this time is September.

??Looking at the stick figures one by one, each one is a familiar scene—the first encounter between him and Jiang Xiao, the first close contact with each other, the first time the relationship eased... All the first times, good or bad, were all drawn by Jiang Xiao one by one from his perspective in a cute and flamboyant way.

?? His heart was sour and swollen, and his emotions were piling up to the point of overflowing. When he turned to the last page, he almost couldn't help it.

?? What caught my eye was a page full of birthday wishes in different handwriting, colors, and signatures.

??Ji Qiao looked at the names one by one, and saw Cheng Yu, Xu Jiacheng, Wen Qi, Jiang Qing, Xiaopang......

?? There are even many people who he has never spoken to since the beginning of school, but now they have written blessings on paper.

?? "Happy birthday to the school tyrant! The one who gave us class [-] the town hall is handsome enough!"

?? "Live fast, live fast!"

?? "Fuck, you're eighteen, I thought you were only sixteen! Hahahaha don't say anything, happy birthday buddy!!"

?? "Happy birthday Ji Qiao, be happy every day."

?? "Joe-brother-look-I-, birthday-day-happy-joy-!! (Am I the longest?)"

??......

"In the beginning, I only asked Cheng Yu and Xu Jiacheng to write, but Wen Qi accidentally saw it, so I asked her for help." Jiang Xiao pointed to a place in the lower left corner, where it was simply drawn with a black pen With a heart, he said with a "cough" in a muffled voice, "This is me."

??The street lights beside the bench were dim, and Ji Qiao was suddenly in a trance, as if dreaming and unreal.He stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Xiao, and the next second, he was immediately held back, and a warm body temperature was carried over, from the fingertips to the heart and lungs.

??He seemed to be surrounded by an unquenchable fire.

Year after year, the speed of time has never stopped. Ji Qiao in the first year of high school thought that his life was left far behind, decadent and closed, but he didn't want to be able to harvest like this in the second year of high school friendship and love.

?? The thin snow fell quietly at some point, and when it piled up on the shoulders, it looked like shining stardust.

?? This is the first snow this year.

?? "The back is all empty." Jiang Xiao stretched out his hand and flicked it twice, his voice hoarse and gentle, "Anyway, the days are still long, so I will continue to help you draw in the future."

??The author has something to say: Xiao Jiang secretly unlocked the new title by himself XD.
