After the smoke goes out

I don't know what I'm looking forward to. It's my birthday, but I'm trying my best to prepare a surprise for others.

Before the get out of class was over, Wen Su bent down, slipped out quietly through the back door of the classroom, and waited outside the door of Class One for the door to open.

The voice of the teacher lecturing came from the classroom. The tone was very soft and the speed was very slow. Wen Su listened to it for a long time, thinking that it should be a very gentle female teacher.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the door opened with a bang, and several people came out from inside. The female teacher still stayed on the podium to explain the topic to the students.

Yu Chen was still sitting by the window, as if being caged in the light, with his head down, he didn't know what he was writing.

Wen Su called Yu Chen's name at the door, and several people in the classroom turned their heads to look at him. At that moment, Wen Su felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his voice and called again.

Only then did Yu Chen put down his pen, turned his head and looked out the door, and seeing that it was Wen Su, he walked out and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Su laughed a few times, looked around to see if there was anyone eavesdropping, and then said to Yu Chen with confidence: "The weather is so good today, or we won't have class."

Yu Chen looked at his eyes that seemed to be hidden, and didn't know what he was hiding, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

The teacher came out of the classroom and glanced at them inadvertently.Wen Su felt silent. After the teacher walked away, he said: "Go and play, I haven't come to you for a long time."

If Yu Chen remembers correctly, the last time Wen Su came to see him was in the first two classes. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go and report sick leave to the teacher."

"Ah?" Wen Su was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'm not sick." He really couldn't turn his head around at all.

Yu Chen said: "Don't leave a bad impression on the teacher." After he finished speaking, he pushed Wen Shu's shoulder, and said, "Go quickly." Backpack.

From Wen Su's point of view, this matter was really too troublesome. He thought to himself, what's the use of making a good impression on the teacher but not getting the teacher to give him extra points in the exam.Although he thought so, he finally obediently followed Yu Chen's words.

After he finished, he walked out of the teacher's office, and saw Yu Chen standing outside waiting, with a deflated backpack hanging on his shoulder, and one hand in his pocket.Wen Su laughed, walked over and said, "I'll go back to the classroom to get something."

Yu Chen nodded, and followed Wen Su to the fifth class.Then I was looked at twice by the people standing outside the classroom. Those people lowered their voices and said to the friends around them: "Hey, isn't that the one in the first class with good grades?"

Wen Su put the messenger bag on his back, patted Yu Chen on the shoulder, lifted his chin towards the school gate, and said, "Let's go."

The sky darkened very quickly, like pouring ink, dyeing the sky in the color of crow feathers in an instant.The street is full of passers-by rushing home after get off work, they rarely stay on the street, and the expressions on their faces have not changed.

Wen Su deliberately walked into an alley with very few pedestrians. The road became narrower and narrower as he went in. It was pitch black without even a light, and there were dogs barking in the distance, and women yelling at children.

Wen Su turned sideways and passed between the rooms of the two buildings, then turned around and waved to Yu Chen.Yu Chen followed behind him, and also walked sideways.

Outside there is an open space covered with cobblestones, so empty and quiet that it doesn't fit in with the city. There is a small pond in the distance, and there are some duckweed floating on the water.

Wen Su led Yu Chen to the middle of the open space, then put his backpack on the ground, squatted down to rummage through the contents, and took out several boxes of fireworks that he used to play with when he was a child. of.While taking out the fireworks, he turned his head and said to Yu Chen: "In the few days when my dad called me home during the Chinese New Year, I specially stocked up some."

Yu Chen also squatted down, he reached out to unpack the fireworks, turned his head and glanced at Wen Su, the childish edges and corners of the young man's face had gradually withdrawn, revealing a slightly sharp line of the jaw, so handsome that it made people feel dizzy .

Wen Su took out the lighter, and a faint flame burst out with a click. The flame was blown by the wind as if it was jumping. He lit the fireworks stick, and the firework burst out suddenly, spewing out a short but bright and eye-catching arc.

Yu Chen pulled out a firework stick from the paper box, and met the burned out firework stick in Wen Su's hand, the top was still glowing. The bright yellow thin paper gradually burned out, and the fireworks shot out slowly.

In the place that was originally so quiet that there were no insects singing, it was suddenly filled with the sound of fireworks and cannons, and the sky-scurrying monkey leaped into the sky with a roar, and the palm-sized fireworks exploded cracklingly, bursting into colorful light.

Wen Su ignited the rotating fireworks placed on the ground, and the fingernail-sized fireworks got stuck in the crevices of the stones, and couldn't come out no matter how they turned.Wen Su smiled and looked back at Yu Chen, and suddenly said, "Today is my birthday."

Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, and said, "Happy birthday." He slipped the cannon in his hand and threw it far away, and the cannon exploded with a bang.

Wen Su squatted on the ground and looked up at Yu Chen, thinking how could this person be so good.When he went to an Internet cafe, he clicked on the webpage to learn something, and his heart was filled with fear and curiosity. When he read it, he would look back from time to time, like a thief.However, when he really faced Yu Chen, he didn't dare to step over the thunder pool, he only dared to wait and see from afar.

The colorful fireworks were a bit dazzling, but after a while, the ground was covered with the remains of fireworks, and occasionally a few were so black that they couldn't see their original appearance.

The fireworks on the ground have been burned out, leaving only an empty carton.The excitement lasted but for a moment, and the open space returned to its cool and quiet appearance.People don't stay long, even if there are songs and wine.

The two sat on the dusty cobblestones, silently watching the bright lights in the distance.It was as quiet as time stuck in a cog.

Yu Chen turned around suddenly, and took out a black box from his backpack. The box was very simple, but it could be seen that it was expensive.He said, "A gift."

Wen Su stared blankly at the box in Yu Chen's hand, and asked curiously, "What is that?" Speaking of which, over the years, he has never received a gift other than that from his parents.

Yu Chen opened the box, and there was a silver watch inside. He took out the watch, put it on Wen Su's hand, and said, "I remember your birthday."

Wen Su laughed, and couldn't help but praise: "It's pretty, you have a good memory." It was a bit uncomfortable to suddenly have something on his wrist, but since it was given by Yu Chen, he endured it.He raised his hand, looked at the watch, and said, "How much did it cost?"

"Not much, but I've saved it for a long time." Yu Chen said, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and then disappeared in a flash.
