regardless of

Before he had time to ask anything, Xi You nodded his chin and motioned to him, "Gu Qiu, look at your feet."

Gu Qiu lowered his head and was taken aback again.

He saw himself standing in the light.

A circle of light with a diameter of about one meter encloses him. The circle of light is crescent-colored and has a pattern inside.

He made a distinction.

It seems to be a long-haired girl wearing a hair crown holding a birthday cake with "Happy Birthday" written on it.

This inexplicable pattern instantly wiped out half of Gu Chou's emotion, and he asked Xi You with a premonition, "Did you customize this pattern?"

Xi You said, "Yes."

He also added: "This picture is simple, I drew it myself."

"..."

Gu Chou: "Didn't you tell me that the painting was me?"

"..."

Xi You raised his brows and said nothing, obviously acquiescing.

Gu Qiu put one hand on his waist, turned around in the circular light circle, and then pointed at Xi You: "Like women?"

Xi You raised her eyes, looked at Gu Chou, and said in a deep voice after a while, "I like you."

"..."

Mensao was like Xi You, who hadn't talked much like that, and Gu Chou suddenly became choked up like someone choked on white sugar.

But as a man, how can the sweet words in Xiaoqingxiaoai be greater than the face and dignity of being provoked, Gu Chou endured his displeasure, and forced himself to make a bad face: "I, equal, a woman?"

Xi You shook his head.

Gu Chou: "?"

Xi You narrowed his eyes, laughed lowly, and his voice became stable again, and said, "You are equal to Cinderella."

"..."

Gu Chou bared his teeth, glared at Xi You, and walked out: "I'm leaving, you continue blowing the wind to wake up your mind."

Xi You suppressed a smile and followed, using the projection lamp in his hand as a flashlight, and the circle of light with his hand-painted Cinderella pattern kept chasing Gu Chou.

Help him illuminate the dim downhill road under his feet.

Putting shoulders together, Xi You asked, "Why didn't you tell me your birthday?"

Gu Chou glanced at him coldly.

Xi You reached out and pulled his arm: "Okay."

"What's good?" Gu Chou waved his hand away and said, "Don't forget that I'm with you, I'm a man."

Xi You: "Are you really angry?"

Gu Chou snorted from his nasal cavity.

As soon as he hummed, Xi You could see that his anger was at least [-]% watery.

"I'm sure I haven't forgotten." Xi You raised his hand, scratching his temples with his fingertips, "Someone came here to remind me that he was Cinderella some time ago."

"I was also brainwashed by him." Xi You moved closer, "What do you think?"

It's about a bet you lost before.

This is almost equivalent to saying that he reaped the consequences of himself.

Xi You can always find an extremely tricky angle in the neglected behavior or speech logic, choking people speechless.

Originally, Gu Chou's two or three points of anger were forced out, but now Xi You directly cut off his way of pretending to be angry, he couldn't get angry, he could only hold back.

Unable to hold back anymore, he used force and kicked Xi You directly.

Xi You, who was kicked unexpectedly, took two steps back to stabilize himself.

On the way down the mountain, he was able to stand still after being kicked. It can be seen that the person who kicked people also used a cat's strength.

Xi You chuckled, and continued to hit Gu Chou's feet with the light from the projection lamp in his hand.

He followed, and the two descended the mountain together.

**

When we got back to the hotel, it was less than ten o'clock.

Gu Qiu took the cake sent by An Beishan at the front desk, went into the elevator with Xi You, and returned to the room.

As soon as he entered the door and put the cake on the hanging board under the TV cabinet, Lao Xue knocked on the door and said that he was going to check the room to see if the two of them had returned.

The door opened, and seeing both of them were there, Lao Xue stood at the door and muttered something like "Go to bed early, don't make a fuss" before knocking on the door of another room.

The door closed again.

Gu Qiu started to unwrap the cake.

Xi You walked over: "I'll come."

Young Master Gu naturally wouldn't be courteous, so he withdrew his working hand without saying a word.

Xi You picked up the cake box and took it to a small round table next to the window.

The small round table was very low, and there were two gray lazy sofas beside it. Gu Chou nestled in, and then watched Xi You squatting on the ground with one leg bent, slowly untying the bowknot, lifting the paper cover, and inserting candles.

During the interval, Xi You glanced down at him.

Meeting Xi You's eyes, Gu Chou called out, "Brother Xi."

Xi You: "Huh?"

Gu Chou asked, "Have you prepared a present for me?"

He added: "You all know that my birthday is today, but I don't believe you just made such a broken lamp."

"Speaking of which, where's the lamp?" He stretched out his hand towards Xi You, "Isn't it for me?"

Xi You raised his eyebrows: "The lights are all broken?"

Gu Qiu ignored the teasing in his words, straightened his upper body, and took out with his hands, and took out the projection lamp from Xi You's jacket pocket after a while.

This lamp is not too big, it is in the shape of an irregular column, as high as two-thirds of the length of the palm, made of metal, with a matte texture on the top, a bit heavy, and it is a very high-end black.

He didn't hold the real thing before, but only saw the sissy light pattern coaxing a little girl, so he was naturally confident. Now he is actually holding it in his hand and weighing it, and he feels that this thing is quite rare.

He pushed up the switch button as if playing, and the moment he turned it on, because it was facing Xi You's direction, the crescent white halo instantly hit Xi You's body, projecting a long-haired Cinderella holding a birthday cake. The stick figure of a cake.

With a "snap", Gu Chou pushed the button back, the light circle disappeared, Cinderella and the cake disappeared.

Gu Chou stared at the place where the circle of light disappeared for a while, and after a while, there was another "pop", the circle of light came back, and there was Cinderella and the cake again.

"Snap" to close, "snap" to open.

So back and forth several times.

After "slapping" for a while, Gu Chou's hands paused.

The private space of lonely men and widowed men, with strange and daydreaming sounds.

Grass.

Gu Chou's playfulness immediately disappeared without a trace, he straightened up quickly, and put the projector lamp back into Xi You's pocket: "Chong, you keep it for me first."

Xi You just watched him play like that, and saw through his whole mental activities clearly.

He took out the projection lamp that Gu Chou had just put back in his pocket, handed it back, looked at Gu Chou with dark eyes, and unconsciously lowered his voice: "Put it in your schoolbag."

Gu Chou couldn't look directly at the thing for a moment, he took it, got up and walked towards the TV wall, and asked Xi You at the same time: "How did you know my birthday?"

Xi You took out the small match specially provided by Amber from the bag, held it in his hand, and was not in a hurry to light it. He stood up and leaned his back against the window sill behind him.

"I asked the monitor to get your ID card." He said.

Gu Qiu asked, "Why did you suddenly think of seeing my ID card?"

As soon as he finished asking, before Xi You could answer, he realized it himself.

He took the initiative to ask Xi You for his ID card that day, and then offered to help him hand it over to the monitor. This level of hospitality really did not match his usual style.

It's no wonder that Xi You saw something was wrong at a glance, and turned to the monitor to find out what happened with his ID card.

Seeing that he had already figured it out, Xi You didn't answer, but asked, "So you deliberately didn't tell me my birthday, what's on your mind?"

Gu Chou put the projection lamp back in his schoolbag, and didn't come over. He pushed his elbows to the edge of the hanging board behind him, and leaned there.

"I don't have any idea." He said nonsense with a calm face, "I just don't want our poor Xishen to spend money for me."

Xi You: "Really?"

Gu Chou: "Otherwise?"

Xi You nodded seriously: "Well, I thought you wanted to take advantage of me."

Gu Chou, who was poked in the heart: "..."

Xi You: "After all, our Lord Gu holds grudges the most. If my boyfriend, if his birthday falls, he can't take advantage of it to get other benefits from me."

"..."

"What do you say?"

Gu Chou's wishful thinking came to nothing, and he was exposed on the spot. He felt ashamed and angry, his ears turned slightly red, and he glared at Xi You: "Shut up, and light your candle."

Xi You smiled: "Do you want to see the present?"

Gu Chou's first reaction was still the lamp, so he was a little confused: "Did you let me put it in?"

"Not a lamp."

Gu Chou's eyes lit up: "Is there anything else?"

"Well, it's in your bag too."

Gu Chou reached into the schoolbag on the hanging board, and asked while touching it, "When did you put it in?"

Xi You said, "Afternoon."

It was when they came into the hotel to put their luggage in the afternoon.

Gu Chou was very clear about what was in his bag, and after touching it for a while, he found what he was looking for in a short while.

It was a square dark blue gift box with a bow tie.

He pulled the box out.

After untying the bow, Gu Chou opened the lid of the gift box, and a key pendant the size of a two-inch photo came into view.

Gu Qiu froze for a moment, picked it up.

The key pendant is made of crystal, the front is smooth and flat, and the sides are narrow and angular. It is small and has a clear luster. There is also a photo embedded in it.

Gu Qiu looked down at the photo and asked Xi You, "Who is this?"

The photo shows the back of a young man, holding his mobile phone by his ear, walking on the avenue covered with reddish sunlight, his body seems to be covered with shining stars, and a fallen leaf freezes in mid-air, like Just slipped off the boy's shoulders.

Before Xi You could speak, Gu Chou asked back, "Me?"

Still not waiting for Xi You to answer, he asked again: "When was this filmed?"

Xi You said, "The afternoon I moved to your house."

Gu Chou recalled it for a while, and remembered that he had just finished the monthly exam that day, so he nodded: "Are you following me?"

Xi You made a "hmm".

Gu Chou looked at him and gradually narrowed his eyes.

"Brother Xi." He called from half a room away.

Xi You: "Huh?"

Gu Chou said: "So when you entered the hall that day, you already had evil intentions?"

Xi worry is noncommittal.

Gu Chou bent the corners of his lips, caressing the crystal image key pendant in his hand, and after a while hooked the clasp on the metal chain with his fingertips, held it up to the light and examined it carefully, asking: "How did this photo get in?" ?”

Xi You: "Print the photo on the transparent film, then paste the printed image on the crystal white blank with uv glue, and then go through a series of polishing and polishing steps, and it's almost done."

Gu Chou said "Oh": "It's custom made again?"

Xi You: "Yes."

Gu Chou turned sideways, found the key from the schoolbag, and put the crystal pendant on it.

After stringing them together, he shook the keychain in Xi You's direction: "Does it look good?"

Xi You said, "It's pretty."

With the corner of Gu Qiu's mouth curled up, he put the keychain back into his schoolbag and walked back: "Light the candles."

The small matchbox twirled between his fingers, Xi You straightened up from the window sill, walked back to the small round table, lowered himself down, took out a match, and was about to light it, Gu Chou said again: "Wait a minute. "

Xi You stopped his movements, and saw him walking to the middle of the two beds, and slapped, slapped, and extinguished all the lights in the room, leaving only the light in the bathroom still on.

The door of the bathroom was not closed, and the light poured out, illuminating the corner of the narrow corridor after entering the door, and also avoiding the room from being too dark.

Faintly bright, just right, so as not to set off the candlelight for a while.

Gu Chou walked back to the small round table, sat on the lazy sofa, rested his chin with his hand, looked at Xi You: "Order."

Xi You lowered his head and lit the match in his hand, and the flame started to jump for a moment.

Holding the flame, he lit the red and blue candles of "1" and "7" on the cake one by one.

"Make a wish." Xi You deliberately lowered his voice, fearing that his exhaled breath would blow out the candle.

Gu Chou looked at Xi You, and said with unclear emotion: "After I was eight years old, I haven't made a wish on my birthday."

Xi You was taken aback, and subconsciously frowned slightly.

Gu Chou quickly added another sentence: "But today I want to make a promise."

After finishing speaking, Xi You saw him close his eyes to the candle, his crow-feather eyelashes swept down, casting a fan-shaped shadow on the lower eyelid.

Xi You looked away, took out the mobile phone whose page had been adjusted, tapped the screen with his fingertips, and the birthday song came out softly and slowly.

Gu Chou opened his eyes, blew out the candle in one breath, and then looked up at Xi You.

Looking at each other, after the birthday song was over, Xi You pressed pause.

The room is so quiet, but the sound insulation of this hotel is not very good. Through a door, you can still hear the sound of people walking back and forth in the corridor outside, talking loudly, and even people in their class laughing and playing around.

The two teenagers looked at each other silently, and there was something frantically surging in their eyes.

Xi You raised his hand, pressed it on the top of Gu Chou's soft hair, pressed it down, and said, "Happy birthday Gu Ye, although I don't know what your birthday wish is, and I don't know if it includes me, but I hope you Always be healthy, safe and happy."

I don't know if the atmosphere tonight was overwhelmed, or there was something in Xi You's words that touched Gu Chou. As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chou's cheek twitched fiercely, and he turned his head away. .

When he turned his head again, Xi You saw that his eyes were red.

Xi You froze for a moment, and just about to speak, Gu Chou interrupted him lightly: "Don't ask anything."

Xi You swallowed back what he wanted to say, and only asked him, "Do you want to eat cake?"

Gu Chou shook his head: "I don't want to eat."

"..."

Xi You asked, "Then why did you ask Amber to deliver the cake?"

"Picture an atmosphere."

"..."

Xi You coaxed and asked, "Just eat a little?"

"How much is one point?"

Xi You stared at him calmly for a while, then stretched out her index finger and wiped a line on the cake.When Gu Chou realized that it was time to run away, the smear of cream on Xi You's fingertips had been accurately wiped on his lips.

The mouth was sweet, soft and greasy, Gu Chou hooked the cream into his mouth with the tip of his tongue, frowned and swallowed it, then got up and planned to beat someone: "Fuck, your uncle's Xiyou!"

But he couldn't get up, Xi You stopped him with his knee, and Gu Chou was sent back to the beanbag sofa.

"Happy birthday, what the fuck?" Xi You lowered his body, almost pressing on him.

Gu Chou propped his elbows down, but the stuffing inside the beanbag sofa is fluid, and he couldn't stabilize it when he applied it, and instead let himself sink into a deeper position.

He simply gave up struggling and looked back at Xi You provocatively: "Happy birthday, do you want to try?"

Xi You froze for a moment, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Gu Qiu groaned, "I'm not a brat."

Xi You stared at him in the dark for a long time, didn't speak, and finally just pinched his waist gently, and when he was about to get up, Gu Chou suddenly raised his hand, hooked his neck, and pressed down.

"What are you going for?" Gu Chou found the right position, and pushed his knees up, "It's much more honest than your mouth."

Xi You paused, took a deep breath, and her voice was almost inaudible: "Gu Chou."

"Ah."

Xi You's eyes moved down along his eyes, and fixed on his lips, as if helpless, and finally said in a low voice: "Then let me eat some cake too."

"Ok?"

Before Gu Chou realized the true meaning of this sentence, Xi You kissed him on the lips.
