eat, dance, love

Chapter 11 Chestnut Cake

"Do you want to eat?" I showed him the tray in my hand, with a calm expression, "Let's add some energy."

He is good."

The corridor was slightly narrow, and he turned sideways to let me pass.

We went back to his room and his clothes were all over the bed and chair.He has too many clothes, and being out and about doesn't make him simplify in that regard.The accessories are also unambiguous, there are a few earrings left on the table right now.

He hurried over to pick up the earrings, pulled out two pieces of tissue paper and wiped the clean table, then threw the earrings back into the jewelry box.

Looking back at me, with an embarrassed smile on his face, he said, "Thank you."

I put down the mango sticky rice, and replied lightly: "Eat it while it's hot, I didn't steam it for you last time, so I will make it up today."

Before coming here, I didn't think too much.I was just poked in my heart by what Zheng Hao said, so I wanted to come and see him.Maybe ask him when he's leaving, maybe say a few words of farewell.

I'm not a passionate person when it comes to relationships.I rarely have the desire to make anyone or something my own.

According to what Pei Yanya said before he was alive, I am indifferent.So, I know I already like him, I've even fallen in love with him, but I don't have to have him.

If he leaves here today, I can start from tomorrow and continue to secretly follow him like a fan chasing a star.

yes i can.

I twirled my index finger and took the tray away, signaling him to go.He didn't speak, so I turned and went out.But I only took two steps, and I couldn't take a third step.

——No, I'm still not reconciled.

So I stopped and turned around, met his suddenly bright eyes, and asked him, "Did you mean me on the phone?"

He pursed his lips: "...um."

Obsessed, I asked something I hadn't expected: "Do you just want to have a one-night stand with me?"

He stayed there, staring at me blankly.I took a deep breath, strode forward, approached him, and asked, "Do you want to date me?"

"I..." He came back to his senses, his eyes were a little helpless, "Brother Xu, I'll be leaving in a few days."

"How many days?" I asked.

He said: "Two days, three days... I'm not sure about the details, wait for Xu Ran to give me the ticket information."

Then you talk to me about two or three days of love, I thought to myself.However, this is something a 15-year-old child would say... I moved my lips, took a step back, and said, "Ms. Gu, my birthday is next Tuesday."

"Really?" He looked at me in surprise.

I said, "Really. Are you here to celebrate my birthday?"

"Okay." He nodded, "I'll go."

I haven't had a birthday in many years.

In the first two years after Pei Yanya passed away, Zheng Zhiming bought me cakes.Later, I didn't want to live it myself, and this day gradually lost its meaning.So, every year only Zheng Zhiming would serve me a bowl of noodles according to the northern custom.

Now, I actually use this day to stay with Gu Yu for a few more days.

I don't know what is the use of these few days, what can be changed.I have no time to think about these, I can only judge that this was the least impulsive impulse I had at the time.

He was very happy, and even called his agent on the spot, saying that he would stay for another half a month.

So, for the first time, I worried about how to celebrate my birthday.

Zheng Jiabao heard that I was going to celebrate my birthday, so he immediately patted the table and said, he went to Zhang Luo.I didn't dare to accept this kindness, for fear that he would invite eight or ten tables to fill up the entrance of the food stall.

But with my experience and Haibao, there is no way to provide me with any novel methods.In the end, I accepted Zheng Jiabao's suggestion, "Live like others", that is, go to a KTV to open a box, and invite some people to come and have fun.

When we were discussing this, Gu Yu happened to come over, and after listening to it, he clapped his hands and agreed.

It sounds a bit like "love makes people blind". I thought this idea was a fool's errand, but when he said yes, I really felt better.

So, it was finally settled.

I called a few good friends, booked a place, and prepared to celebrate my birthday in a daze.

Every day, I look forward to my birthday very much, but I don't want it to come.Hope, because that is a day that Gu Yu specially reserved for me.Reluctant, because once it passes, the countdown to Gu Yu's departure will be even shorter.

Separately, sooner or later it will always come.

Only when people commit ignorance will they postpone it.

In the few days before my birthday, Gu Yu was still as busy as ever, coming over twice a day at most.Most of the time they came here was teaching Zheng Hao how to dance, and the two of them really looked like masters and apprentices.

At first, Zheng Hao joined the school's dance team entirely because of Zheng Zhiming's nostalgia for Pei Yanya.Later, probably because of Pei Yanya's genes, Zheng Hao quickly revealed his talent and aroused his interest.

When Gu Yu was here, she even used her charm to give Zheng Hao a shocking influence. Her enthusiasm for dancing now is just like the weather of this season, scorching hot.

I love to sit by the door and watch them dance in the yard.

"You are very light, remember to maintain this lightness." He said to Zheng Hao, leading her to open her arms, correcting the angle and strength.

While Zheng Hao was in charge of the movements of his hands, he also carefully maintained a basic foot shape called "strength" on his feet.After a long time, I was so tired that my forehead was sweating, and I asked Gu Yu: "How do you keep it? Are you like the teacher, just eat less?"

Gu Yu smiled: "Lightness is not just light weight, lightness is a kind of temperament, which must be cultivated. Your heart and your attitude in doing things should be careful to maintain an atmosphere of indifference, so that your whole person will maintain a light feeling— —Okay, your feet can go to the ground."

Zheng Hao put down his feet, and the strength on his waist also loosened, and Gu Yu immediately patted him: "Keep your posture."

"Oh." Zheng Hao pursed his lips reluctantly, but he did it very seriously.

My eyes followed him, and I couldn't help but find the standard of his words in him.

When he first came here, everyone secretly called him "Heavenly Fairy Guest" because he was really like a fairy.But even I haven't thought about how immortal he is.

Now I understand that it is the immortal in the lightness.His lightness made him exude a detached aura that seemed not to belong to the world.

"...The most important thing is, don't worry too much about everything, otherwise your mind will be heavy, understand?" When I was in a daze, they had finished a period of practice, Gu Yu took Zheng Hao's hand and walked towards me .

"Rest." Coming to me, he let her go.

I stared at his hand and suddenly felt an irresistible urge.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Zheng Hao entering the room, and his impulse became even more manic.

However, that hand paid no attention to my thoughts and took a towel from the bamboo pole without accommodating me at all.

We didn't talk for a while, I watched him wipe his sweat silently, and my eyes met twice, like oil splashing into water.

"Brother Xu," he finally sat down, opposite me, "Have you ever been in love?"

Me: "...why ask this again?"

"Then just answer me once." He smiled and made me very happy.

I moved my lips, avoiding the conversation: "Don't say it."

He gave a soft "tsk", rolled up the towel, said "Let's go, see you tomorrow", and left.

Tomorrow is my birthday.

The notice to my friends is at 07:30 p.m., I changed my chef uniform at [-]:[-], and went to the hotel to call Gu Yu.He was doing something in the lobby on the first floor of the B&B, with his back to the door and bent over.

He was alone in the hall, so I became a little curious and tiptoed to avoid him noticing.Then I found out that he was writing on a cake.Red Jam unskillfully sketches on the cream, writing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY".

After writing this, he stopped, took a breath, and felt that his attitude was more solemn.I became inexplicably nervous.

"Xu." He suddenly whispered.

I almost thought he knew I was behind him, but then I heard him say, "It's so hard to write."

……

"Let me write it." I couldn't hold back and said out loud.

He jumped away suddenly, and stared at me with a startled look: "Why do you make no sound when you walk!"

I answered truthfully: "In order not to let you find out."

He rolled his eyes speechlessly, and with an "oh", he directly gave me the electric mounting pen in his hand.

I was a little surprised, and took it hesitantly: "Why did you give it to me so easily? Don't you usually insist on writing it yourself?"

"I made this whole chestnut cake. Do you know how hard it is? One less word will not reduce my sincerity." He said confidently, "And I don't remember how you wrote that word, yourself Wouldn't it be better to write?"

It turned out that his busy work these days included learning how to make a chestnut cake for my birthday... I fell silent and bent over to add my name after "Happy Birthday".

"Okay, the box is here. You pack it up, and I'll go change my clothes." After reading the text, he put the cake box on the table and hurried back to the room.

Ten minutes later, we set off from the homestay and drove to the scheduled KTV.

In Haibao, there are only a few entertainment venues available, and I chose the one that my friends like.Everyone is familiar with it, so there is no need for me to go there first.

When Gu Yu and I arrived, there were already many people inside.

I opened the door and went in. Everyone inside stopped playing and focused on me. They greeted me with a smile and said birthday wishes.

I am familiar with these scenes, but it has never happened to me. I am a little inexplicably nervous, but I pretend to be normal and let everyone continue to play.

"What do you want to drink?" I showed the list to Gu Yu, we were studying it, and the door opened again.

Before I could see who it was, there was a burst of booing in the box.The heckling put me in a trance for a moment, as if I had gone back to some distant summer afternoon when my high school classmates made me and a girl do the same.

So, I knew who it was.

She was still the same as before, she didn't care about booing or anything, she walked straight towards me, raised her hand and waved: "Hi, Zheng Zixu."

I paused, handed the pen I was holding to Gu Yu, continued the routine I did just now, stood up, and said with a smirk: "Xiaojue, why are you here?"

"I'm sorry, I came here uninvited." She said this, but without any embarrassment, she sat down beside me naturally.

"As soon as I came back, I heard from Liu Yuan that you were celebrating your birthday here, so I came here. You won't drive me out, will you?"

well.I do.
