Chapter 95 Xia Xinyu’s Birthday
"It's so cool. I can actually go to Ningcheng to take the exam at public expense. You really deserve to die——"
Zhou Yu, who was already feeling miserable, felt that Chen Yuan had passed the exam and could play for free because the main competition was in another city. He felt that it was even more painful.
My brother is not only getting better, he is still getting better.
I beg you, please hurry up and get a fan.
"It's just a trip with food and lodging included, not everything." Chen Yuan said calmly.
"Besides food, accommodation and travel, what else is left?" Zhou Fu looked puzzled.
Then, Chen Yuan and Zhou Yu looked at each other in tacit understanding, each showing a smile that said nothing.
"Ah?" Zhou Fu didn't understand.
In this regard, He Sijiao explained: "As for those things about boys that you don't understand, just think in pornographic terms as much as possible."
"Ah...it's impossible for the school to lead students to do such a thing." Zhou Fu said honestly.
"Your serious answer will make these two people look stupid." He Sijiao twitched the corner of her mouth awkwardly.
"So, will there be a bus that will send all the candidates from the school, as well as the team leaders?" Zhou Yu asked.
"Probably, after all, there are a lot of people in our school. And because the candidates for the second examination have to stay one night, they won't worry if the leader doesn't go." He Sijiao guessed.
"But fortunately, it's only 160 kilometers between the two places, so it's a short drive." After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he had a sudden thought, "By the way, that day happened to be the weekend..."
Can I also take Xinyu with me?
"You kid, you are actually planning for us to be your support team?!" Zhou Yu thought he had seen through Chen Yuan's idea, and he immediately dispelled it.
"I'm not, I didn't..."
What the hell, why should I bring my thoughts to you when you are here?
Listen to me and don't even come!
"Ningcheng is close to the sea, and you can go to the beach. It is indeed a good plan." Zhou Fu is often taken there by her father to travel there, so she is familiar with Ningcheng.
Although it is worse than Xia Hai, it is still a big city after all, and it is impossible not to have a strong commercial atmosphere.
"It only takes an hour to take the high-speed train, and it only costs 50 yuan... It's really feasible!" After He Sijiao checked a certain ticket-purchasing software on his mobile phone (advertising spaces are still for rent), he suddenly felt that it would be nice to go out and play occasionally. It's good, after all, the transportation is really convenient.
"One hundred round trip, plus some accommodation, transportation, food... it's really cost-effective." After Zhou Yu started to count the money, his desire to travel became stronger.
I even felt that it had nothing to do with Chen Yuan's exam, and I just wanted to go out and have fun.
"I'm so touched. I didn't expect that everyone sincerely hopes that I will win the provincial award and get extra points for the college entrance examination." Looking at them, Chen Yuan said with emotion.
"No, when you do this, you suddenly feel a little sick again and don't want to go..." He Sijiao showed a subtle expression.
Zhou Yu also held his chin with his hand and nodded: "Forget it, let's not go. If this guy really passes the exam, he will be numb. Then I will die of guilt for being a support team."
Damn it, what the hell are you feeling guilty about?
Are you still a human being, you piece of shit? !
But...it's okay, okay, it's all under my control.
You know what kind of people these people are, Chen Yuan has a complete grasp of these births.
I've said so, they probably won't follow me now...
"You're welcome, we are just your support team."
However, at this moment, Zhou Fu patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, cheer for you, you have to keep up the good work."
"..."
It was obvious that she really wanted to pass the exam.
And I felt that expressing myself like this would seem out of place with everyone, so in order to blend in, I deliberately took advantage of him in terms of seniority.
But she was more restrained when speaking, so she seemed even more out of tune.
After all, because the real source black is...
"Uncles and aunties were joking just now. In fact, deep down in my heart, I still hope that Xiao Chen can do well in the exam."
Making a haha laugh, He Sijiao said earnestly,
Sure enough, I was absolutely right about He Sijiao's pen.
"It would be perfect if we can go to Ningcheng and have everyone have fun while Yuan'er can fail the game." Zhou Yu said expectantly.
But Zhou Yu's pen is more vicious than he imagined!
"What about Tang Siwen?" Zhou Fu seemed to have confirmed her plan to go to Ningcheng, so she began to expand the topic and asked, "When the time comes, should we invite her to join us?"
"This beauty is too aloof..." He Sijiao shook her head, "The atmosphere may be awkward then."
Zhou Yu also echoed: "I feel like if it affects her exam, she will be resented. After all, I see that she has been studying, studying at all times, except for her expression when eating steamed buns..."
No, you were the first one to discover the clues?
"Okay, listen to everyone." Zhou Fu is a newcomer after all, so she still needs to listen to everyone's opinions to avoid unnecessary embarrassment to this trip.
To be honest, hearing what they said, Chen Yuan was still a little subtle.
Not to mention anything else, he and Tang Siwen have become friends, and they can talk a few words at ordinary times. It doesn't really matter if they really want to win people over to eat together. If they eat something delicious, she might just Her true colors were revealed, allowing everyone to discover that she was not cold-blooded, just a silly person...
Forget it, the overall situation is more important.
However, compared to everyone's expectations for the trip to Ningcheng, Chen Yuan is more 'looking forward' to tomorrow's birthday.
At noon today, he received a message from his aunt.
Yun Dan Feng Qing: Xiao Chen, I said you bought the cake, smile jpg.
When he received this news, he was numb.
This smile jpg looks like it’s expressing something!
Three parts mocking, three parts cool, three parts alarming, and one part scary.
Of course, you can't speculate about your aunt without reason.
Perhaps, she just wanted Xinyu to remember this good thing about herself.
Perhaps, she was reminding herself that she should have a good birthday for Xia Xinyu.
There is also a possibility that Xia Xinyu told her aunt that she did not tell her her birthday in advance, which made her aunt realize that she did not know about it.
Then, I made such a smooth favor.
In short, no matter what, I have to thank my aunt.
With all kinds of complicated emotions, I stayed until school was over.
When returning home, Chen Yuan took the bus with Zhou Fu. The other party may have stopped at Jiangning Road in advance to avoid suspicion and got off the bus. So, at the Xuefu Road stop, Xia Xinyu got on the bus and sat next to her.
"Guess what my aunt told me at school today?" Xia Xinyu asked with a smile.
[He definitely doesn’t know what his aunt’s reaction was after seeing his results]
"What did you say?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.
"Auntie can see your results here, and after checking..." Xia Xinyu deliberately made a protracted sound to heighten the sense of suspense and anticipation, and then said when Chen Yuan wanted to know the most, "She said she was arbitrary Yes, I will apologize to you next time I meet Xiao Chen."
"This, this, this..." Chen Yuan was shocked, "Aren't you putting me on the fire rack to roast?"
Xinyu, you are hurting me!
"She's joking, don't be nervous." Xia Xinyu comforted, "She just thinks you are too powerful and can do things that even the students in her class can't do."
To be honest, although I believe Chen Yuan.
But to this extent, it's completely incredible.
He is actually much better than himself.
At least in terms of mathematics, I would be overestimating my abilities if I continued to teach.
Don't, don't, don't, in reality your strength is really strong, but in Chaozi, my strength is fake.
"Please teach me how to do the questions, Teacher Xinyu"
"Then what else did she say?" When Chen Yuan asked, he simultaneously started listening to his heart.
[She also said, if Chen Yuan forgets my birthday, will I be angry? 】
【I won’t be angry...】
[Because I didn’t tell him in the first place, so I can’t blame him. 】
"It's all about praising you. Anyway, you are very good."
Xia Xinyu said this, but she was still hesitant in her heart.
She knew she shouldn't blame herself, because she didn't say that it was okay to have this birthday. After all, she had to study hard, and she also needed to save money, but...
[I know his birthday is August 28th]
"...It's too good. It's too good a reputation."
Chen Yuan was responding to the other party's compliment.
But I don’t remember what the other party praised at all.
No, why does she know my birthday?
I didn’t set it to QQ date either.
Moreover, neither QQ nor WeChat posted updates or posts to Moments on birthdays.
"What's wrong with you? You feel a little unhappy?" Xia Xinyu suddenly noticed that Chen Yuan's mood had dropped, so she asked with concern.
"I, I'm very happy."
Am I very happy?
The heart is such a good thing.
Regarding the word "heart", praising someone for being sincere means having a heart, expressing feelings with "sincerity", liking others means "moving", all are beautiful compliments.
There is also a saying: Those who are willing do not need to be taught; those who are not willing cannot be taught.
After giving her the star that day, she would give her heart to herself.
Use your actions to prove everything, but use your emotions as 'words from your heart'.
But why am I so heartless...
Visibly, Chen Yuan was sad and very regretful. Xia Xinyu didn't know why he was like this, but he didn't say anything when asked. She really didn't know what to do, so she quickly said optimistically: "Let's go to the supermarket to buy more delicious food later to celebrate your passing the first test."
"..."
Originally it was just the guilt of "I really deserve to die", but now Xia Xinyu came to comfort herself, making Chen Yuan even more uncomfortable.
Damn it, Xinbao, please kill me and eat my flesh.
"Um……"
Looking at Xia Xinyu, he even thought about saying that he had prepared a gift, so that the other party would not be a little sad. But for the sake of the completeness of the surprise, he could only endure the torment of "the ant crawling on his body" and said as calmly as possible, "Okay."
………
At Chen Yuan's house, after a celebratory meal, the two of them studied together for an hour and a half. At ten o'clock in the evening, Xia Xinyu said she wanted to go back to bed.
After all, tomorrow is Friday and there are still classes, so Chen Yuan can't stay any longer.
But before leaving, he gently patted Xia Xinyu's head.
"Huh?" Xia Xinyu was a little confused, but she didn't resist. Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't explain, she stood on tiptoe slightly and patted Chen Yuan's head, "I'm going to bed. Good night."
"Good night."
Just like that, she left the room.
In order to ensure that he would not come into contact with anyone else today, Chen Yuan even locked the door.
Sunday is the word of the heart. On Monday, the word of heart is gone and can only be bound to Harvey. Tuesday is accidentally linked to Zhou Fu because she doesn’t know the rules. The little girl on Wednesday is the heart of compassion...
This time, it's up to you.
Looking at the palm that had touched Xia Xinyu, Chen Yuan suddenly wanted to shout out those four words for some reason.
Source God, start.
But before starting, there is something else.
Lying on the bed, he took out his mobile phone and set the alarm clock for 23:59 in the evening.
Although tomorrow is also a birthday, the birthday person should be happy the whole day from 0:00 to 24:00.
Adjust your breathing and look at the pure white wallpaper on the screen.
start up--
It's Xia Xinyu's home.
Chen Yuan is also sitting at the table. Next to him is a gentle woman who looks somewhat similar to Xia Xinyu. On the table is a cake with two candles, 1 and 4, standing on top of the cake.
The woman clapped her hands to Xia Xinyu and sang a birthday song, but Chen Yuan could not hear any sound.
It's a bit strange. In the past, no matter who it was, everyone could hear it.
Could it be because this person is his mother and has passed away? Chaozi cannot pull the dead person into his dream...
Also, didn't Xia Xinyu notice Meng's bug this time?
It seems that she is not always a supermodel.
After singing the birthday song, Xia Xinyu closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and began to make a wish.
Only then did Chen Yuan realize that she had twin tails, just like the one in her junior high school graduation photo. She was even thinner and looked a bit frail like Sister Lin.
So damn cute...
etc.
While admiring the twin ponytails, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered.
Fourteen years old, three years ago.
Niu Qiong said that her father was working in Xingsha, and then he was injured and entered the ICU, and was hospitalized for a period of time.
I don’t know if it was the 8th or the 6th when I borrowed the money, but now on the 24th, I’m probably still in the hospital.
Later, Xia Xinyu knew that her father had a 'fracture', but what about now?
"Didn't Dad say he would be back today? He also promised to give me that gift..."
After making her wish, Xia Xinyu asked her mother a little depressed.
After the other party said something, she nodded. Even though she was disappointed, she still managed to smile: "Well, I'll call dad later."
The words in my heart are really... I cried to death.
Seeing Xiao Yu like this, Chen Yuan felt very uncomfortable.
Chaozi will bring people back to scenes that are deeply memorable or difficult to reconcile.
So this scene made her sad.
But even if only her mother celebrates her birthday, it is generally considered a happy thing.
Maybe she will return to this moment when she is seventeen years old, no, she should be sixteen years old. After hearing about her father in Niu Qiong, she suddenly realized that the reason why her father was absent from her birthday at that time was because It's not that I forgot to fulfill my promise, but that my father was in hospital at that time...
So, she went back to being 14 years old.
I should have come to her dream earlier.
When Chen Yuan was stunned, his mother suddenly handed a piece of cake to him.
"Thanks…"
Chen Yuan took the cake and wanted to express his gratitude to his mother, but realized that she had passed away.
She can't hear me, right?
The birthday scene didn't last long.
The next scene is after the birthday, when her mother returns to the room, Xia Xinyu carefully opens the door.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Yuan asked from behind.
Xia Xinyu turned her head, her ponytails swayed slightly, and then made a 'shh' gesture to herself.
Then, the door was opened.
Chen Yuan followed him out and closed the door behind him.
It was already night, and the bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the entire earth. Although there were no street lights anywhere, one could clearly see the road ahead.
Chen Yuan had seen such a scene when he spent his summer vacation at his grandma's house.
The world is so clear and peaceful.
Following Xia Xinyu, Chen Yuan kept walking.
Then, we arrived at the foot of a mountain.
"Where are you going?" Chen Yuan asked again.
"Follow me, don't ask." Xia Xinyu still didn't answer, and she was quite forceful.
Xiao Xia Xinyu has quite a temper.
In this way, they walked up the mountain from a small narrow dirt road.
At a corner, Chen Yuan slipped slightly and almost lost his balance.
At this time, Xia Xinyu turned around, stretched out her hand to him, and teased with a sense of superiority: "Jingnan is full of mountains. You haven't walked through the mountain roads, have you?"
"There are mountains in Natsumi...but I have never climbed this one before."
The northern and northeastern parts of Haidong Province are indeed plains, and most cities are concentrated here, unlike Jingnan, which has hundreds of thousands of mountains.
Just like that, holding Xia Xinyu's hand, he crossed this hurdle.
Then, Xia Xinyu walked faster, and Chen Yuan followed.
The good thing is that you don’t have to climb the entire mountain in your dream. Just load a few shots and you’ll be almost at the top of the mountain.
But Chen Yuan really felt that it took him a long time to climb.
"What are we going to see?"
Chen Yuan still couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Bamboo." Xia Xinyu said without turning around.
"Bamboo?" Chen Yuan repeated in confusion.
"Dad said that someone planted a lot of bamboo at the foot of the mountain last year, and it should be ready this season."
“Does bamboo look good?”
"It looks good." Xia Xinyu nodded and said as she walked, "When the moon is big, the bamboo will be illuminated very clearly. If there is wind and the leaves of the bamboo are dense, they will roll over like waves."
"Did dad promise to take you to see it?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Yeah. He went to the mountains to collect things before, and I saw him at night."
"He said he could take me to see it anytime, waiting for him to come back."
"I said it would be fine on my birthday. I don't want any other gifts... I just want to see bamboo leaves that look like ocean waves."
Xia Xinyu's tone was obviously low as she spoke.
But she still walked forward.
Suddenly, she stopped.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yuan asked.
"We're here," Xia Xinyu said.
As the vision gradually opened up, the two of them were only a few steps away from reaching the top of the mountain.
Xia Xinyu was a little nervous and didn't dare to go up. At this time, Chen Yuan stood side by side with her, held her hand and said, "Let's go."
Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan and nodded.
The two of them walked to the top of the mountain together, the place with the broadest view.
but,
It was pitch black down the mountain.
There is a bamboo forest.
But only a hazy patch can be seen.
Faced with such a scene, Xia Xinyu was speechless for a long time, then bit her lip and shook her head: "It should...it should be that we came at the wrong time. Or, let's wait..."
When Xia Xinyu was about to explain to him, her eyes were gradually covered by a hand.
Then, I heard Chen Yuan say:
"The bright white moonlight shines on the peaks like falling rain."
"Ten miles of bamboo forest, dyed green, connects into one, like the vast sea on the other side."
"The night wind blows, and the lush bamboo leaves rustle, like ocean waves, hitting your feet and mine..."
His description with soft words gradually made Xia Xinyu's specific imagination emerge.
At this time, the blindfolded hand slowly let go.
The next moment, she saw the forest green sea, with infinite fluorescence, natural creatures, and thousands of hearts coming towards her.
Facing the green waves, her long hair reaching her waist fluttered in the wind...
Looking at the two rubber bands on the palm of his hand, Chen Yuan had to admit that Xia Xinyu with twin tails was cute. But the long shawl hair he saw that day was irreplaceable.
"This is what you want dad to see."
"That's what he wanted me to see."
Xia Xinyu looked at the deep vast sea and murmured softly.
"That's it..."
"That's what I want you to see."
Under the forest green firefly wind, Xia Xinyu, who was like an elf, turned her head, held Chen Yuan's hand, interlocked with his fingers, and said with a smile: "This is a sea of stars and bamboo."
