Be affectionate

At the end of October, the sudden drop in temperature makes people break away from the summer state in an instant.

The temperature difference between morning and evening was suddenly widened. After a bleak autumn rain, the leaves fell all over the ground.

Before going to bed at night, Qin Yi came to Lin You and said that it would be Gu Xi's birthday soon, so she came to discuss how to give Gu Xi a small surprise.

Lin You didn't even know that Gu Xi's birthday was coming.

She asked Qin Yi: "When?"

"It's a pity that you and Gu Xi are so close every day, you don't even know his birthday."

After Qin Yi was disgusted, she told her daughter the exact date.

"How? Any good ideas?"

Lin You thought about it, a birthday surprise, naturally it fits the birthday star's preferences best, but what does Gu Xi like?Apart from studying, I really don't see any hobbies for her. I can't give someone a stack of papers on my birthday, right?

The next morning, Lin You tested Gu Xi on the way to school: "You said you don't have anything else you like besides being the first in the exam? Do you have any special wishes that you want to realize?"

"desire?"

Hearing Lin You's question, Gu Xi looked up, with a little undefended confusion in his eyes.

Lin You looked at her like this, and thought that the young deer in the documentary he watched before had such wet eyes, so ignorant and cute that people wanted to rub them a few times.

It was the first time someone asked Gu Xi if he had any wishes that he wanted to realize.

When she was eight years old, Gu Xi's wish was to hope that her parents could return to her. She wanted to have a family like everyone else.

The wish of the 16-year-old is to hope that she has never been born, never came to this world, and maybe the sadness that puzzles her will not exist.

But now, she also has a wish, and it is a completely different wish from before.

She hopes to stay by Lin You's side all the time and watch her be happy.

However, this wish cannot be said or told to anyone.

"I don't have any wishes..." Gu Xi shook his head, "If I have to say it, I want to be admitted to the ideal school and get a scholarship."

Lin You guessed that Gu Xi's answer would be like this, and it was not surprising, so he asked in a different way: "What about the things you like?"

Gu Xi continued to shake his head: "No..."

She looked at Lin You strangely: "Why? What do you want to do?"

She suddenly remembered that her birthday seemed to be coming soon, did Lin You want to prepare some birthday present for her?

Lin You didn't want to spoil the surprise, so he made an excuse: "After the college entrance examination, you will start to enter the world of adults. Don't you have anything to do before becoming an adult?"

It turned out to be like this...

Gu Xi couldn't help but feel that he was a little self-indulgent, so he took a deep breath, trying to wake himself up.

She looked at Lin You: "Then is there anything you want to do?"

Lin You gave a "tsk" and said, "What's the matter, I asked you first, but you didn't answer me, why did you ask me instead?"

"I really have nothing to do. If you have something, I can accompany you." Gu Xi smiled at her.

Lin You blinked his eyes wide and fell into thought.

In fact, she doesn't have any wish that must be fulfilled, but she also talked about this topic with Lu Qing and the others before, what did she say at the time?

"Let's fall in love."

She remembered that if there was anything in her life that she hadn't tried and was curious about, the only option was love.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Gu Xi's face froze instantly.

Falling in love... If you're with Lin You, isn't that...

Lin You panicked, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong? I said I'm in love, but I didn't say I'm in love now! What's your expression!"

Realizing that he couldn't control his emotions and lost his composure slightly, Gu Xi smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't tell you to fall in love now."

After the messy conversation, Gu Xi quickly turned his gaze away to the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window.

Gu Xi secretly flicked the rubber band in her hand, the pain could temporarily relieve her from the state where she was almost unable to breathe.

"I'm just a little surprised..." Gu Xi forced a smile, "I want to fall in love, so Miss Lin has someone she likes?"

Lin You looked at Gu Xi, unconsciously attracted by her face, and her expression gradually became serious.

Gu Xi didn't expect Lin You to look at her like this, and her heart was agitated by her.

Suddenly, Lin You burst out laughing: "Why are you so serious, of course not! If there was, I would have talked about it long ago, why would I wait until today."

Gu Xi: "..."

Speaking of which, Lin You has never felt what it is like to like someone since she was a child.

It seems that in her world, the feeling of "like" has never been brought out of the mother's womb.

From kindergarten to high school, Lu Qing didn't know how many male gods she had changed, and her favorite thing to this day is still playing games and catching dolls, and she has never liked anyone at all.

Lin You also despises none of the male gods that Lu Qing likes.

But now, her favorite thing to do seems to be to do quizzes with Gu Xi, or to recite words with Gu Xi. In short, doing anything with Gu Xi seems to be very interesting.

Gu Xi's originally twisted heart was temporarily rescued by Lin You's words. She sighed in her heart and scolded herself for thinking wildly.

With such an interruption, Lin You even forgot that he was here to trick Gu Xi.

When she got home, Lin You went to the studio upstairs to discuss with Qin Yi about celebrating Gu Xi's birthday, and when she heard that her daughter didn't ask why, she couldn't help but feel disgusted: "It's a pity that you are stuck with Xiao Xi all day long. It's fine if you don't know Xiaoxi's birthday, and you don't even know what gifts she likes, when did our eldest lady become so stupid."

Lin You was in front of Qin Yi's drawing board, looking at this mass of lines and colors, and pouted: "It's not like you don't know that person, Gu Xi, she seems to want to escape from Buddhism without any desires." Yes, what I want and like is inseparable from the scope of learning, I might as well think about it myself if I ask her."

Hearing her words, Qin Yi couldn't help asking curiously: "Then have you decided what to give Xiaoxi?"

Lin You really thought about it.

Gu Xi is a bit stubborn and self-repressed, as if he is not interested in anything other than learning, but when he was at the playground before, Gu Xi looked at the Laurel Rabbit and would show desire like a child expression.

Moreover, Lin You found that Gu Xi seemed to like western fantasy novels very much, and she read all the few volumes of western fantasy novels in Lin's study.

There are also some other details. Although Gu Xi never mentioned it, Lin You also noticed it.

Gu Xi actually likes spicy food, prefers white, and likes everything with bunny patterns.

Lin You looked at Qin Yi's curious face and turned her head: "You want to trick me, so I won't tell you. I want to surprise Gu Xi alone, and I won't play with you!"

Qin Yi: "..."

On the day of Gu Xi's birthday, Lin You held back all day for this surprise, and finally when she got home from school, she took off her shoes indiscriminately and ran upstairs.

Gu Xi, who was following Lin You, thought she was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, and silently helped Lin You put away her shoes.

As soon as she put down her schoolbag, she heard Lin You calling her from upstairs.

"Gu Xi! Gu Xi, come here!"

Gu Xi thought something was wrong with her, so her heart suddenly became aroused, and she didn't even have time to put down her schoolbag, so she hurried upstairs.

When they arrived at the door of Lin You's room, Gu Xi knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered.

She was even more anxious, and couldn't help but say, "Lin You, what's wrong with you? I'm coming in!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly pushed the door open.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw that Lin You's room was full of colorful balloons and ribbons, and the number "Nineteen" was hung on the wall.

Gu Xi was stunned, and only after blinking did she realize that this was a birthday surprise that Lin You had prepared for her.

"Happy birthday!"

Lin You jumped out from behind the door, wearing a cotton ball-like rainbow wig on his head, and holding a small firecracker in his hand. The moment he came out, he pulled it open, and the colored paper and sequins popped out in an instant, floating Gu Xi's head.

Gu Xi shrank her shoulders in fright, and was in a daze. She didn't expect that Lin You would really care about this birthday, which she didn't even care about, and even specially arranged it for her.

"What's the matter? Are you stupid?" Seeing that she didn't respond or express, Lin You was stunned. Was it because he was shocked by the surprise?

It's too cute, right?

Lin You laughed, and waved his hand in front of Gu Xi's eyes.

"Back to the soul!"

Gu Xi slowly turned her head to look at her, with many words running through her mind, her lips parted, and finally she only said two words: "Thank you."

"Little Xi."

Hearing Qin Yi's voice, Gu Xi turned around and saw Qin Yi holding a very beautiful cream cake in his hand.

There is a happy birthday card and a candle with the number "19" on it.

"Happy birthday, little birthday star." Qin Yi put the cake in front of Gu Xi and said, "Quick, hurry up and make a wish."

The emotions that could still be held back were broken the moment he saw the birthday cake.

The day she didn't look forward to at all, Lin You and the Lin family gave her surprises one after another, whether it was a birthday gift or a birthday cake, filled her heart with the trauma caused by birthdays in colorful soft sugar.

Gu Xi's eyes were hot, she quickly sniffed and closed her eyes, afraid that the tears would really fall out, it would be too embarrassing.

On her birthday before she was eight years old, if her parents remembered, they would buy her a small cake, and eating it casually would count as her birthday.

If you don't remember or the two of them quarreled again, Gu Xi can only silently draw a small cake in the picture book in the small room and give it to herself, it is considered as the birthday is over.

Facing a piece of paper cake, the little ones made a wish for their parents not to quarrel again.

Later, she lived with her grandparents. Every birthday, her grandpa would buy her a small cream cake and cook a bowl of longevity noodles.

She made a wish for her grandparents' health and longevity to the candles of the small cakes.

Gu Xi made so many wishes, but none of them ever came true.

But even though God always refuses to listen to her appeal, she still wants to pray to God again.

She hopes that Grandpa Lin will live a long and healthy life, that Uncle Lin will have a successful career, that Aunt Qin will get the prize she wants, and that Lin You...

She hopes that Lin You will be happy and happy, free from illness and disaster for the rest of his life.

Gu Xi opened his eyes and blew out the candle in one go.

Qin Yi handed the cake to Lin You, and then took out three red envelopes to Gu Xi, which were given to Gu Xi by the three elders of the Lin family.

"Don't say no!"

Before Gu Xi was about to refuse, Qin Yi blocked her mouth first: "This is a tradition in our family. Children have to receive red envelopes on their birthdays and New Years. It's a good idea, and you will also have red envelopes on your birthday. So if you don't accept Xiaoxi, you don't treat us like family."

After saying this, how could Gu Xi refuse, and thanked Qin Yi after taking it respectfully.

Qin Yi patted her head in satisfaction: "Okay, be good now, you guys unwrap the presents first. Auntie and I have prepared a big meal tonight, don't eat too much cake, save some stomach for dinner."

After speaking, Qin Yi went downstairs to prepare dinner.

Lin You put down the cake, first pulled Gu Xi into the room, pointed to the large and small gift boxes on the ground and said, "Come on, I prepared this for you, come and see if you like it."

Gu Xi looked at more than a dozen gift boxes in front of him, and was a little surprised: "All of them are for me?"

Lin You showed a natural expression: "That's right, otherwise is there someone else celebrating their birthday today?"

After finishing speaking, he added: "Even if there is a second person celebrating her birthday, I wouldn't be so serious about preparing a gift for her."

Lin You's words made Gu Xi feel a little hopeful in his heart, his eyes lingered on Lin You's face, trying to find some clues from her expression.

Lin You, however, wanted to see Gu Xi's expression when he opened the gift, and urged, "Hurry up, or you won't be able to finish it before eating."

Gu Xi sat down and began to unwrap the presents. She first picked the smallest box, and unwrapped the black wrapping paper. Inside was a transparent plastic box.

Inside the box was a yawning little rabbit, with one ear folded down and the other standing upright, just looking at it would make it cute.

Gu Xi took it out and found that it was a brooch, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Do you like it?" Lin You asked impatiently.

Gu Xi pressed the small gift to her heart, nodded with a smile and said, "I like it, it's so cute."

Seeing that Gu Xi cherished the things she gave so much, Lin You felt satisfied, and immediately urged her to continue unpacking.

Under Lin You's command, Gu Xi started to unwrap the second present.

The second gift looked to be the size of a shoe box, but it was indeed a shoe box after it was opened. Inside was a pair of fluffy rabbit slippers with two fur-ball-like rabbit tails on the back of the slippers.

Gu Xi looked at it, his face became hot.

Lin You seems to know that she likes rabbits...all the things that are given to her are rabbits.

Lin You really paid attention to her...

Although I like it very much, how can I bear to wear such cute slippers on my feet?

And it's too cute, Gu Xi likes it and feels a little ashamed.

Next, the third, fourth, and fifth presents were unwrapped, until all the presents were unwrapped, a total of nineteen.

In addition to the previous brooches and slippers, there are also water cups, mobile phone cases, jewelry hairpins, etc., each of which is in the shape of a rabbit or a rabbit.

And a whole set of hardcover editions of Western fantasy novels that Gu Xi likes very much, and a full range of Laurel Rabbit dolls.

Lin You proudly looked at Gu Xi's speechless expression of surprise.

"Like it?"

Gu Xi was holding the head of the Laurel Rabbit doll, which was a bit bigger than the Laurel Rabbit that Lin You had caught for her before. It was wearing a cute little skirt, made of imitation fur, and it felt soft and smooth to the touch.

She was a little speechless, and Lin You prepared nineteen gifts for her, which meant that she had made up for every previous birthday gift she had.

It's hard not to move people with such intentions, she was afraid that once she opened her mouth, she would reveal her turbulent emotions that were about to become uncontrollable.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin You thought that he had guessed Gu Xi's preferences wrongly, and the surprise was not created successfully.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it...I'll take you to pick out what you like as a gift later, okay?"

Lin You coaxed carefully, for fear that Gu Xi's birthday would be unhappy because of the gift.

Just after finishing speaking, Gu Xi suddenly hugged her.

Lin You: "!"

"Thank you...Lin You." Gu Xi said softly in her arms, wrapping her arms around her waist.

Lin You never expected that Gu Xi would hug her like this...

That Gu Xi who would usually be shy and annoyed at the slightest intimacy actually took the initiative to hug her.

Does this mean that she chose a good gift, all of which Gu Xi likes?

Gu Xi buried her face on Lin You's shoulder, but immediately let go of her within a few seconds, and the turbulent emotions just now calmed down a little.

"How do you know I like this bunny?"

She couldn't help smiling softly, rubbing the rabbit's head, the furry touch was very healing.

Lin You smiled smugly: "Of course it's because I'm smart, so you just say that the gifts I picked for you are all your favorites?"

"Well... I like them all."

Lin You was so happy that he wished he could run around on the roof.

She brought the cake over, pulled out the candles on it, and cut the cake for Gu Xi to eat.

Sitting side by side with her, Gu Xi couldn't help but want to say a few more words to Lin You, "Speaking of which, I'm already 19 years old, but you are not yet, you are not yet an adult. You are much smaller than me."

Lin You said disgustedly: "What's wrong with not being an adult? Even being an adult is taller than you."

As she spoke, she dabbed a little cream and touched Gu Xi's nose with lightning speed.

Gu Xi glared at her, and taught in a very serious tone: "Don't waste food."

Lin You snorted and was about to apologize when Gu Xi smeared cream on his face.

Seeing Lin You's stunned look, Gu Xi couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay!" Lin You immediately scooped up a big pile of butter, wanting to get revenge on the big one.

Seeing the cream in her hand, Gu Xi immediately put away the smile on her face, and begged for mercy flatteringly: "Can't we make it even if we're alone?"

Lin You smirked: "Even? Who will be even with you!"

Immediately after speaking, he rushed forward and spread the cream on Gu Xi's face.

The two of them quarreled in the room for a long time. They didn't eat a few bites of the cake, but made their heads covered with sweet cream.

I had to take a shower before dinner.

The author has something to say: Lin You: I used to make up every birthday present for my wife!

Gu Xi: //////
