Heinous

The calendar was torn off page by page, and in a blink of an eye, it was already September.

September is a good month for Xue Zhe, and the weather will gradually turn cooler once it enters September, so it won't be as hot as before, making people want to die.Secondly, his birthday is in September, and after today's birthday, he will officially turn 25.

According to the agreement between Xue Qirong and his cousin, if Xue Zhe did not encounter Unforgiveness, then after passing this hurdle, he can say goodbye to Jianghu—but now, this may have followed that rainy day. There will never be a return, and it will never be possible again.

Although this item is missing, this year's birthday seems to be destined for Xue Zhe to encounter some twists and turns. First, his parents who went abroad to play together were trapped abroad due to various relationships, and they couldn't make it back on his birthday.Before his birthday, he received a call that made him feel bad.

"...Are you kidding me...?"

"Am I going to make fun of this?" Gou Wenjuan's voice was extremely bitter on the other side of the phone, "The rescue failed, and the person has already passed away. Auntie doesn't want to make people sad anymore, so she doesn't plan to hold a farewell ceremony for the body, so let me call Talk to some of you who know me well."

"..." Xue Zhe held the phone, unable to say a word for a long time, and after a long while, he said: "I... got it."

The person Gou Wenjuan mentioned was one of Xue Zhe's colleagues. He had a car accident a few years ago and was lying in the hospital.Xue Zhe had a good relationship with him before, and he has helped him a lot in the past few years, but in the end, human affairs cannot beat destiny.

"The car is really not a good thing..." After finishing the business, Gou Wenjuan sighed, and said, "Azhe, you have to be careful, didn't you come here five years ago? Drive carefully and don't get into trouble."

"What did you say?" Xue Zhe was taken aback by Gou Wenjuan's words, "When did something happen to me?"

"No way, you forgot?" Gou Wenjuan was a little surprised, "You took nearly a month's leave for this, I remember it very clearly—and after this thing was over, you directly gave me a bad ending , I’m afraid I won’t be able to forget it even if I want to.”

"That's called an open ending—" Xue Zhe remained stubborn as always, "But I really don't remember that I was in a car accident."

"Please, can you forget such a big event? Think about it, what happened five years ago?"

After hanging up the phone, Xue Zhe pressed his temples and began to have a headache.

five years ago... five years ago...

He did have the impression that something happened five years ago - the reason why "Unforgiveness" was stopped was because of that incident. After that incident, he hurriedly finished "Unforgiveness" because he felt that he could not continue writing.

But, what a thing...

He only vaguely remembered that it had something to do with his family, and in his previous memory, he always thought it was a "family matter", but he didn't think it had much to do with him.He just "helped".

But according to Gou Wenjuan, he... had a car accident?

If there was a car accident, could he still forget it?

There was a mess in his mind. Xue Zhe was leaning on the sofa to make a phone call, but now he couldn't help but lay down and rolled a few more times, and finally fell to the floor with a bang.

The blow hit hard, Xue Zhe hugged his head, tearing up and down, unable to make a sound out of the pain.

His fall naturally attracted Bushe to him, he was startled to see him rolling his head on the ground, and quickly helped him back to the sofa.

"I'm fine..." After resting dizzily for a while, Xue Zhe opened his eyes and said.

The knocking made him wake up a little bit, and he finally caught the shadow of the incident five years ago.It's just still vague and unreal.

"It's fine." Bushe heaved a sigh of relief, poured Xue Zhe a glass of water, and returned to the room.

...Strange, he seems to be very busy recently?

Xue Zhe thought about it with his head, and found that Unforgiveness is indeed a bit mysterious recently, and he doesn't know what he is doing.

He wanted to continue thinking, but his dizzy head didn't allow him to think too much.So he sighed and decided to take a good rest first.

Bushe did have a headache recently, and that was Xue Zhe's birthday, which was coming soon.

He knew about this because he overheard Xue Zhe and Bao Nuan complaining that they couldn't come back and miss his 25th birthday, so he took care of it and started to think of ways to prepare.

Since it is a birthday, it is natural to give gifts.But after taking an inventory of his belongings, Bushe found a little depressed that he can be described in four words now—poor and white.

It is said that he is poor, but Xue Zhe has never been stingy with giving him pocket money. If he wants it, he probably has to pay for it. But since he wants to give someone a gift, how can he buy it by asking for money from Xue Zhe?

But if he starts to make money now, first of all, according to the standards here, he is still a child laborer, and no one will hire him at all.Secondly, Xue Zhe's birthday was less than a week away, so it was difficult for him to find a suitable job in such a short time.

It would be great if we could hold the contest like last time again—later, Unforgiveness even began to think about the feasibility of "find someone to lure him to fight with him and then grab the spoils from the other party" a little bit self-destructively. Fortunately, the only martial arts man he could find in Linshan City was Andre. It was risky to rob and he would not be able to get any good things, so he chose to give up.

Finally, in desperation, at a time when Xue Zhe didn't notice, he called Bao Nuan.

"Birthday gift?" On the other side of the phone, Bao Nuan was a little surprised, but also a little funny, "You want to give Xiao Zhe?"

"What... does he like?" Bushe was a little frustrated to find that he knew almost nothing about Xue Zhe's hobbies.

"I really don't know what he can like. The time when I asked for gifts is over, and now most of the things he likes are bought by himself."

And there's no way I could afford it... Unforgiven thought gloomily.

"I remember that he used to like to collect knives, and he also collected stamps... But basically it was two or three days of enthusiasm, let alone you, even I don't know what to give." After hearing the phone call Bian Bushe seemed to be in a low mood, Bao Nuan comforted him.

"I understand." He could hear Bao Nuan's consolation, but he still wanted to give something to make Xue Zhe happy.After all, this is Xue Zhe's first birthday since they met.

otherwise……

Bushe stretched out his hand and touched a red string hanging around his neck.He gently twisted the thin rope and fell into deep thought.

It was a souvenir he had brought from there, and it was the only relic left to him by his mother.

The weight of this piece of jade is enough to make a good gift.He would not be reluctant to give it to Xue Zhe, but if he just gave it away because he couldn't afford anything else, he would always feel... a bit sorry for this jade.

How to do……

After contemplating for a long time, Unforgiveness suddenly had an idea.

"Auntie, help me, okay?"

"I said Mom, what on earth do you want me to do?" Xue Zhe felt that he was going crazy with the steering wheel in one hand and the phone in the other. "Just to buy such a bunch of things for me to spend all afternoon?"

As soon as he woke up this afternoon, he was dragged out of the house by a phone call, and has been dispatched until now.I ran from the east of the city to the west of the city, because I only bought the designated products from the designated merchants—the supermarket near Mingming’s home also sells them, okay?

Xue Zhe glanced at the back seat, and there was a mountain of large and small bags, with everything from food and drink to clothing.

"Of course I have my uses. Your mother gave birth to you so hard that you don't want to run errands?"

"I'm happy, I'm happy..." Xue Zhe sighed, and looked at the already dark sky, "It's just that I won't have time to cook when I come home late, so can you please let me go..."

"The last thing, you can go home after buying."

This made Xue Zhe a little bit more energetic, and finally followed Bao Nuan's instructions to find a remote small shop, where he bought half a catty of pickles specified by Bao Nuan, and he was finally able to set foot on his way home. road.

"By the way, happy birthday." Just as he was about to enter the door, Xue Zhe's cell phone rang again abruptly. After he connected, Bao Nuan's voice with a slight smile came from inside.

"You know today is my birthday, and you still send me like this." Xue Zhe was annoyed and funny, he pushed open the door, and he walked in with big bags and small bags.

This afternoon was spent running around following his mother's instructions, and he was so tired that he just wanted to lie down on the bed and take a good rest.But tonight's meal hasn't been settled yet, probably I can only order takeaway...

Alas, he had to eat takeaway for his birthday after all, isn't he a bit too pathetic...?

The complaints in my heart stopped abruptly the moment I walked into the restaurant.

He stared at the dining table in a daze, before opening his mouth after a while: "Did I... go to the wrong place?"

The dining table, which was thought to be empty, was actually served with food at this time.

It's not that the dishes are so rich, they are all home-cooked dishes, and if you look closely, you can find that some of them have burnt marks on them. Obviously, the person who cooks is a novice.

only……

Not knowing what expression to show, Xue Zhe slowly turned his attention to the most outstanding dish in appearance, the candied apple placed in the middle of the dining table.The sugar wrapped on the apples gleamed under the light. The four most conspicuous pieces of apples on the plate were not directly peeled off the peels, but were carefully carved. The remaining peels were carved into Four words: life, day, fast, happy.

"Azhe, happy birthday."

Bushe waited anxiously for Xue Zhe's reaction—although he had solved the problem of eating and drinking by himself before, but he was quite confused, except that he was better at meat (but Bao Nuan also said that Xue Zhe didn't like meat ), and almost nothing else.Although he had Bao Nuan's guidance, he didn't want Xue Zhe to find out, so he could only come secretly, and the number of practice sessions was not much in total.Although he paid great attention this time, the results he made...

Still, at least that plate was well done.

"This...you made this?" Xue Zhe pointed to the dining table in front of him and asked with some difficulty.

He doesn't remember when he wrote that Bu'an can cook...

nod.

"birthday present?"

nod.

Opening his mouth, Xue Zhe felt that he should say something, but for some reason, he couldn't say a word.

Really... the brat who can always surprise him.

Glancing at the people waiting for his evaluation over there, Xue Zhe took a deep breath and showed a huge smile on his face.

"I was still having a headache just now, what to eat at night, I don't have to worry about it now." He patted Bushe on the shoulder and motioned him to sit down, "Let's eat together, don't let the food get cold."

"And... thank you very much, it's a very good birthday present."

"……Um."

In his own restaurant, sitting next to him is the male protagonist in his novel, and what he eats are charred, half-baked, and overly sweet dishes made by martial arts masters—Xue Zhe feels that in his life, he probably It is hard to forget this birthday.

I don't know if I will spend my birthday like this in the future?

As long as the kid can improve his technique a bit...it seems to be pretty good.
