sanguine and depressive

This year's calendar is finally moving into November.Although I didn't say it, I actually saw the date getting closer, and I was looking forward to it, feeling like I was waiting for good luck to come.Both because someone is supposed to celebrate my birthday this year, and because I will officially be an adult from now on.

The [-]th happened to be Friday, and both of them had classes in the morning, so they were not in the same teaching building.I thought that the celebration would start at noon, but when the bell was about to finish, I received a text message from Wei Chengyu, saying that he had something to do in the afternoon and would not come to see me.He neither wished me a happy birthday nor mentioned eating cake and blowing out candles, maybe he forgot.

I insinuated: "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

He said it depends on the situation and whether he can come back in time.

Although he was a little apprehensive, he still didn't have the nerve to speak out, after all he said he had something to do.And if you ask directly, it's the same as rushing to ask, it seems too thick-skinned.

After class, I had lunch with Luo Qinyu in the cafeteria. I had nothing to do, so I went back to the dormitory to read some books, and the mid-term exam week was due soon.After a while, Luo Qinyu asked me with a clothes bag: "Hey, look, I'm going to practice karate!"

Only then did he know that for the sake of Mao Lilan in his heart, he has been training three times a week for nearly a month, and he has never been absent every time.He said that Senior Sister Huang—whose surname is not Mao, is already friends with him, and every time she is around, she will definitely teach him about safety.

I followed him to the dojo. Today, there are about [-] people participating in the training. The teacher wearing a black belt is leading the exercise in front, and there are a few people sitting on the mat beside me and watching.

The warm-up at the beginning was done by all together, and when it was over, they were divided into two groups with different routines and actual combat. Luo Qinyu wore a white belt and was doing the movements with a dignified face. He also taught five newcomers who were as unranked as him, and he didn't seem to be that special.

I passed the time little by little, and when it was almost five o'clock, the sky was getting dark.Luo Qinyu went back to the dormitory to take a shower. I sat on the bench in the school garden and called my home in Shenzhen. I wished Diandian a happy birthday on the phone. She was one year old in the blink of an eye.Aunt Wu smiled and told me that my mother was going to take her out for a simple birthday party tonight.

Diandian can pronounce more sounds, but when I said a few words to her, she still only responded "Pull, pull!" Her articulation is clearer than last time, I hope she can say brother sooner.

Hanging up the phone, I pinched my phone and read the news that stayed in the morning. Wei Chengyu hasn't contacted me until now, it seems that he is really busy.

Is it true that I forgot, that memory is too bad, this is what I just said more than a month ago.But a month is indeed not short, and a year is only twelve months.It is also possible to record it as the [-]th, [-]th, etc. After all, the date of the [-]th is not very special, it is relatively common.Or maybe I was busy and forgot.Either way, it should be justifiable.

I stood up from the bench, the phone rang suddenly, I answered it, Wei Chengyu asked me where I was.I answered truthfully, and he said he was at the north gate, waiting for me to pass.

When I arrived, I found that he was still driving and parked on the side of the road, which was a bit eye-catching.When I got in the car, I saw that the driver's hair had been tidied, it smelled fragrant, and his clothes were decent. I felt that it took some effort.

"Why are you... so gorgeous." I couldn't help asking.

He cut his hair and said, "Oh, I went to an event this afternoon!" Then he put down the handbrake and set off.That means not dressing up for a birthday, either.

"Where are we going then?"

"Let's go to dinner, I've already reserved a seat." After speaking, he pressed the multimedia button on the car console, and a Japanese song began to play on the stereo.

After driving for a while, I saw that he was indifferent, happy, and even began to hum a song, so I pretended to ask: "Hey, did you forget something?"

"What?" He tilted his head slightly towards me.

Actually really forgot.

"It's nothing." I leaned my head on the car window, not in a good mood, but when I bumped on the road, my head "bang" against the glass, it hurt a little, and I became even more angry immediately.

Driver Wei took me to the open-air restaurant that I passed by during the last college entrance examination. The business was very good, and [-]% of the seats were occupied.The waiter led us to a corner, turned on the heater next to him, and said, "Mr. Wei, let's start serving the food."

I looked around, probably because of the location and the environment, the restaurant attracted a lot of fashionable young people to dine, and Wei Chengyu was also barely dressed, only I was unprepared and wore a gray coat that I put on casually in the morning.The uneasiness of wearing a school uniform and standing in front of an Internet celebrity milk tea shop when I first entered high school came back.

I kicked him under the table and thought he was annoying, but he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" He also asked with a smile.As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face when you reach out, and you look handsome after dressing up today.Alas, why do you have such a happy expression, do you know what you forgot?

I thought it was just a casual meal as usual, but when the dishes were officially served, I found that things were not simple. Chinese and Western dishes were randomly served, and the common point was that they seemed to be quite expensive.Another foie gras steak, another fatty tuna, and braised pork with truffle.The person who looks like a manager puts the plate on the table and introduces the origin of various materials.

I whispered to the orderer: "What did you order?"

He said carelessly, "Those who walk on the ground, those who swim in the water... try them all, try them all."

The dishes were served slowly, each serving was not large, one after another.Finally, dessert was served, and I didn't quite give up, so I started to hint: "Is there any dessert?" Sweet, round, and candle-friendly.

"Yes, homemade yogurt pudding." He replied.

When checking out, the benefactor took out his card and swiped it boldly, and the manager sent us away respectfully.On the way to the backyard parking lot to look for a car, Wei Chengyu walked slowly in front of me, his long and narrow shadow cast on the ground by a street lamp.It's already past nine o'clock, and the fifth is almost over.

Cannibals have short hands and can't do anything out of the ordinary, so I slapped him on the back shoulder.

He looked back at me: "What's the matter?" He smiled and held out his hand to me.Why is he laughing and laughing all day long, happier than Samoyed and Bian Mu.

I waved his hand away: "Today is the fifth!"

He didn't reply me, went straight to the front of the car, took out the key and pressed it, and then he wanted to open the trunk, but failed to open it for a long time, with a very weak look: "Come and help me."

I pushed him away, fumbled for the button below, and opened it smoothly with a light lift.

The trunk lid was lifted slowly, revealing the thrilling layout that had been sitting there for a long time.Surrounded by colorful balloons, they rose together and were exiled quietly into the night sky.In the middle is a cake protected with dry ice, with a transparent cover, and a small bouquet of flowers beside it.

He picked up a small bouquet with a sunflower in the middle and handed it to me: "Happy birthday, you are an adult from today on."

I took it, as if receiving a commendation, my mind went blank, watching him take out the cake, close the trunk, and then sit back in the car in a daze.Wei Chengyu rubbed his nose and said, "I didn't intend to do this at first...I pushed the cake up at the end of the meal, but I made it this afternoon. I didn't learn it before. It's so ugly...I want to buy it again. One, but do it all..."

I whispered: "I thought you forgot."

He said: "Isn't this more surprising? Wang Dong and Tong Ming taught me."

I did not comment, and lowered my head to unpack the cake on my lap. He was still summarizing, all with regret: "It's a pity that there is class this morning, and I have to make cakes, change clothes, and book restaurants in the afternoon. The preparations are too hasty. I have experience..."

"You prepared so much in the first year, what will you do in the future?" I said.

"I think there is quite a lot of room for improvement." He asked, "Do you like it? I decorated the trunk according to the picture given by Wang Dong."

"...Gamous." I pondered for a few seconds, commented tactfully, and turned to look at the cake.I didn't look carefully before, I just thought it was a piece of white, and there was something on it.

I pointed to the unidentified creature on the cake: "What is this?"

"...the penguin made of fondant..." he said, "it was standing up, probably because of the bumps in the car..."

"Why is it just a penguin, it looks lonely."

"Because it was too late, this pinched me for two hours!" he replied.

A whole penguin is on its back, like crawling in the pure white snow.I stared at it for a few more seconds: "Where are the candles, I have to make a wish quickly, otherwise it will be on the sixth."

Wei Chengyu hastily inserted a candle for me, took out the lighter in his pocket and lit it.It was dark outside and inside the car, only the candle in front of me seemed to absorb the light of the whole world, regurgitated into a bright candle, flickering slightly.

"I'm going to sing!" He broke the silence, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." Finally finished singing, he said: "Make a wish."

I closed my eyes and thought about it for a long time. I was very greedy for a moment, and I came up with thousands of wishes. I summarized them, sorted them, and finally said in my heart: I hope that the people who love me and the people I love are healthy and happy every day.

Just as he was about to make the second one, Wei Chengyu said beside him, "You can only make one, otherwise it won't work."

I opened my eyes all of a sudden: "Why is there such a saying!"

"Ah? There are so many wishes." He was a little surprised, "Then you might as well say it... Maybe I can help you realize it."

I looked at the candle, not him, took a deep breath, and blew out the candle.A wisp of blue smoke emitted from the candle wick quietly dissipated in the air, and tears of melted wax adhered to the thin rod.

"I won't tell you." After I finished speaking, I took the candle away, and Wei Chengyu handed me the spoon while making amends, "Although this cake looks ugly, it was made with my own ingenuity... Maybe it tastes acceptable... "

I dug a spoonful and tasted it. The milk flavor was very strong. I was about to give the producer a taste, and found that his body gradually leaned forward, with a slightly deep expression on his face.

I quickly grabbed the hand he extended, and said vigilantly, "You don't want to put cream on my face, do you?"

He said, "No, no." But his body did sit back again.

I lowered my head to dig the butter, and he suddenly asked me, "What if I really forgot?"

"What can I do." I said, "...let's make do with it."

I used a spoon to scrape off the strangely shaped buttercream, and ate it in one gulp, feeling good again, when the light in front of me suddenly dimmed, he leaned over and said, "I'll try it too."

Once warm on the lips, it gradually deepened until the tip of the tongue was numb and then separated.The cream was all eaten.

He kissed the corner of my mouth and said, "It's quite sweet."
