Chapter 96 Giving Gifts (Thanks to the Leader of One Pound of Red Beans)

Stars and bamboo sea.

I only gave you one star, so you give me back a sea of ​​stars, right?

Besides, isn't it your birthday?

"It's beautiful, thank you."

Chen Yuan probably knew what Xia Xinyu said she wanted to show him, a place that would also be circled and charged if discovered.

It may be quite different from this scene, the scene that Xia Xinyu imagined under her own guidance, but it is not false.

Everyone has his own bamboo sea of ​​stars.

Chaozi, I won’t scold you today, I’ll give you a holiday.

Xia Xinyu closed her eyes, opened her hands, and felt the wind blowing into her skin. She had never been so relaxed, as if she was storing everything in the world.

This is it. What she wants Chen Yuan to see is this moment.

Opening her eyes, she smiled and turned her head: "Chen Yuan..."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Xinyu suddenly discovered that Chen Yuan beside her had disappeared?

…

"Ding ding ding——"

The soul-torturing alarm bell rang, waking up Chen Yuan.

After being confused for just a few seconds, he opened his eyes and turned on his phone.

23:59.

Then, he called up QQ, found Xia Xinyu, put his hand on the blessing that he had edited long ago, and waited for the time to jump to 0:00 to publish it on time.

Surprises do have to be there.

But how to continue the surprise and extend this time as long as possible?

Proper advance notice is also possible.

Moreover, if Xia Xinyu is also waiting for the zero-point blessing, but finds that there is no blessing, even if she does have a surprise the next day, the joy may not be as satisfying as "I want it all".

Of course, because Xia Xinyu is a good child with a very regular schedule, entering a dream means that she has fallen asleep, so she will probably only see it the next morning.

Then, have a good mood all day long.

While waiting, the time in the upper right corner jumps to 0:00——

Ding dong!

Xia Xinyu, who was still feeling the night breeze and bamboo sea, was suddenly awakened by a QQ message of special concern.

Likewise, after being confused for a moment, she quickly clicked on her phone.

Then, I saw the first message.

Chen Yuan: Happy birthday Xinyu, I’ve prepared some surprises for you tomorrow, waiting for me after school [Cat raises its hand]

"!" Seeing this, Xia Xinyu was no longer sleepy at all. She smiled happily, then hugged the blue scarf cat next to the pillow and rolled it back and forth on the bed.

After rolling around, she lay on the bed, raising her feet in the air and moving around unconsciously.

Turns out he remembered my birthday.

But how on earth did he know?

Like me?

Xia Xinyu was a little embarrassed because after returning home from watching the movie that day, Chen Yuan fell asleep and said such nonsense as "It's okay even if you kill someone in my room, because I'm already asleep", so When she was sitting at the desk drying her hair, she secretly glanced at the ID card he had placed casually on the table, feeling that it would fall into the crack of the table at any time.

She really didn't want to see the ID photo.

Although, after looking at the above photo a few times, I felt that Chen Yuan in the past was really inexplicably well-behaved and a little innocent...

Of course, more importantly, she remembered Chen Yuan's birthday, August 28th.

So, did he also see his ID card?

But the me in the photo on my ID card looks stupid too...

You have to ask him.

However, now is not the time.

What should I do?

Just when she was thinking about it, other people also sent messages to wish them well. After looking at them, she didn't reply directly. She wanted to reply tomorrow morning.

In fact, she was looking forward to Chen Yuan blessing her at midnight, otherwise she wouldn't have set it to pay special attention to him, turned the volume on her phone to the maximum, and placed it next to her pillow.

Than get a surprise.

The happiness of having all your wishes come true is no less generous.

So what should I say...

Wait, did he release it on a scheduled basis?

Xinyu suddenly had a guess. Although she thought it was okay to post on time, after all, she had to go to school tomorrow, but what if she saw it and wanted to reply?

Test it out.

Xia Xinyu: Thank you [Swallowing Yuanbao]

Chen Yuan: Why aren't you sleeping yet? You won't go to school tomorrow?

It’s not a scheduled release!

Her frown suddenly relaxed, and she happily raised her raised feet high, almost touching her thighs. When Xia Xinyu was happy, she inadvertently showed off her better body flexibility.

Xia Xinyu: Then why don't you sleep?

Chen Yuan: I want to give you a happy birthday

His sudden explanation made him look dumbfounded.

Can't you express it a little more interestingly?

It's okay to tease yourself.

Xia Xinyu: I had a dream just now. It was a very real dream. In the dream, I felt my hair being blown up.

The dream this time was as real as when I hugged Chen Yuan before.

Mom and Chen Yuan also appeared in the dream.

But for some reason, she didn't recognize it as a dream.

This should be related to nervousness.

At the time of the funeral, although she was able to accept reality, the reality was still heavy, so she was particularly sensitive in the dream.

It's different now. She can already see some worthwhile and happy things in life.

In the dream, because Chen Yuan was there and he happened to be in his hometown in Shaoxiang, she took him there, a place where she could see the "Stars and Bamboo Sea".

In fact, she had seen it before. At night, the scenery was not that spectacular. The best time to watch it was in the early morning of sunrise and in the evening of sunset.

But because it was called Star Bamboo Sea, she subconsciously thought it would look good at night...

Fortunately, Chen Yuan in the dream covered her eyes and guided her to speak the text, allowing her to create the world in her imagination.

Why is this dream so real?

Just like that hug.

Looking at his hands, he recalled the feeling of intertwined fingers.

It's like really holding me...

Chen Yuan: What dream? Tell me tomorrow

Xia Xinyu: Let me tell you now

Regarding the specific dream, she wanted to edit the text, but she couldn't write it. She wanted to make a speech, but she didn't know where to start. After struggling for a while, she finally decided——

Xia Xinyu: Let’s talk face to face

I don’t want to sleep anymore, it’s impossible to sleep.

Thinking about this and the surprise Chen Yuan would say tomorrow, Xia Xinyu knew that she was more impetuous than the primary school students who were going to have a spring outing the next day.

That's it, I decided to take a nap during class tomorrow.

Chen Yuan: Then I will come to your room now?

Just this sentence made Xia Xinyu panic and her heart beat faster.

In the middle of the night, you come here...what are you doing here?

He may not mean this, but he may also mean something else... In short, he doesn't mean that!

Xia Xinyu: Let’s go out and play

Late at night, she suggested this.

What is worth it in this world is that Chen Yuan responded in seconds.

Chen Yuan: Okay, then I’ll wait for you at the door.

Xia Xinyu: Wait a moment, I need some time

After replying this sentence, she got up from the bed, then turned on the light, opened the wardrobe, and saw that there were quite a few, but basically there were no very bright clothes, so she chose carefully...

As for her understanding of Chen Yuan's aesthetics, Xia Xinyu only knew that he dated a busty woman wearing a hip-hugging dress that day.

Obviously, she didn't approve.

However, girls do need to wear skirts on appropriate occasions.

After selecting a certain dress in the wardrobe, Xia Xinyu unbuttoned her pajamas little by little...

………

Hiss, where are you going this late at night?

Chen Yuan didn't know what Xia Xinyu had in mind, but this was obviously beyond his plan.

I have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and now I only have six hours of sleep left.

Forget it, the first period was Shirley Liu's class, and I was in the back row. She shouldn't hang herself because she fell asleep in class, right?

After all, that's Shirley Liu.

So, Chen Yuan got up, changed his clothes, straightened his hair, then drank a glass of water, rinsed his mouth, and started brushing his teeth.

If a gun appears in a story, the gun will definitely fire.

Likewise, if a toothbrush appears in a story, then...

I put an advertising space for a toothbrush brand here for rent.

After being fully prepared, another ten minutes passed, and just when Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask Xia Xinyu when she would be ready, there was a knock on the door.

After pushing away, he froze.

Standing in front of him is a graceful and graceful girl wearing a forest green lace suspender dress with long hair reaching her waist, fair skin, slender figure...

She looks really good in a skirt.

A girl like Xia Xinyu should try on all the most beautiful dresses in the world.

Although school uniforms can also show youthfulness, after all, the physical beauty of adolescent girls is covered up.

And for Xia Xinyu, these hidden parts are also where she shines.

Seeing Chen Yuan frozen on the spot without speaking, Xia Xinyu asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

"stuck."

"ah?"

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back." Chen Yuan thought that he had forgotten something, so he closed the door and cruelly shut out Xinbao. Then, after turning back and finishing, he opened the door again, "Let's go."

Xia Xinyu didn't know what it was, but she was too sensible to ask.

When following Chen Yuan downstairs, she suddenly asked: "How do you know my birthday?"

"This..." Chen Yuan paused and said, "I asked my aunt."

"You, did you ask your aunt? When...that time in Shaoxiang?" Xia Xinyu was a little surprised. She didn't expect Chen Yuan to be so reckless.

Instead of asking your aunt... you might as well ask me directly.

Chen Yuan did not answer, but nodded in acquiescence, and then said, "Don't tell your aunt this."

"Yeah, I know."

Xia Xinyu made an OK gesture.

The guilt in Chen Yuan's heart also eased a little.

Although I lied, it was indeed my aunt who told me...

Just let me go this time.

From now on, I will definitely fulfill my obligations as a sandwich candy seriously.

Keep 1024 in mind, because I am a soldier of the heart!

The two of them went downstairs like this. Xia Xinyu wanted to take a walk, but she didn't know which direction to take. Chen Yuan, who saw her confusion, suggested, "How about we go to set off the Kongming Lanterns?"

"Yeah, okay."

After Xia Xinyu agreed, she suddenly remembered that it was already very late: "But at this point, where can I buy a Kongming lantern?"

"You just have to tell me you want to let go."

After getting the answer, Chen Yuan went to scan a shared electric vehicle that was still unnamed.

"...What you said is a bit cool." Xia Xinyu sighed sincerely.

This ridiculously reliable look is surprising no matter how many times I see it.

"I'm Doraemon." Chen Yuan got in the car, "Let's go."

Then, Xia Xinyu also sat on it.

The two of them still took advantage of the fact that there was no one around at night and didn't wear helmets, so they drove on the lonely streets of the old city.

Finally, we stopped at a newsstand.

After getting off the car, Chen Yuan walked over there.

"People are sleeping, will it be too disturbing..."

"fine."

Chen Yuan shook his head, and then knocked heavily on the door of the newsstand.

Then, an old man with a crooked mouth woke up, quickly opened the window, and made unnatural movements with his hands.

"A Kong Ming Lantern, a lighter, and a bottle of tea." Chen Yuan said.

The uncle gave Chen Yuan a lighter and tea pie, then pointed at several Kongming lanterns and made gestures in turn: two, five, ten.

"There's also a Kongming Lantern worth ten yuan, Xen Niu?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

The uncle quickly gave a thumbs up and smiled.

"Then take this." Chen Yuan said.

So, the uncle handed the ten-yuan Kongming Lantern to Chen Yuan and then made a sign of sixteen.

Chen Yuan scanned 16 and showed Alipay to the uncle.

Then, the uncle packed the red plastic bag with trembling hands.

Although it was very slow, Chen Yuan watched him finish it before taking it.

In this world, there are always some people who will not be angry even if they are woken up from their sleep.

Chen Yuan woke him up rudely, then paid the original price without any mercy, and finally indifferently let him pack for him because he was handicapped.

Maybe he 'hates' everyone equally.

"Ten yuan for the Kongming Lantern." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Ah? It's so expensive. Shouldn't it cost a few yuan?" Xia Xinyu was a little confused. Even if she bought it at night, it shouldn't cost so many times.

Then, Chen Yuan took out this Kongming Lantern.

"This Kongming Lantern...why is it a cat head?"

"As expected of Kong Ming of ten yuan...ah no, Kong Miao Deng."

"Then where should we put it?" Xia Xinyu asked.

"Last time, the place was a little out of the way. In fact, there is a river beach here in the old city. It's closer. You can sit on it."

Chen Yuan got on the bike with a clear purpose.

"Obviously we are all from other places, why are you so familiar with this place?"

Moreover, they are all places for walking.

You wouldn’t have… really been in love before, right?

In response to this, Chen Yuan didn't think twice and answered directly: "I used to like watching the old man fishing. It was very interesting to sit next to him all day long."

"..."

Well, the chances of him ever being in love have gone down again.

But what kind of person can watch an old man fishing all day long...

It's quite cool tonight. Sitting in the back seat, Xia Xinyu even felt a little cold. After all, it was late autumn.

Therefore, she grabbed Chen Yuan's sides with both hands and brought her body closer to him. In this way, the wind will not blow all over you.

Also, why do you want to wear a skirt so late? Why don't you wear a jacket like Chen Yuan...

The good looks are too much.

Fortunately, five minutes later, we arrived at the river beach he was talking about.

Sure enough, at this point in time, there was no one left.

But unlike last time at the reservoir, this was an urban area, so the street lights were still on.

"It's such a quiet atmosphere. It's really suitable for fishing." Xia Xinyu sighed.

"Suitable for fishing?" Chen Yuan smiled faintly, then pointed down, "Fishing now!"

"Ah? Is there anyone there?" Xia Xinyu didn't even notice the person Chen Yuan was talking about.

The two of them walked forward together, and under the guardrail, they saw several "fishing guys" with emergency lights on their heads, fishing boxes and chairs, and complete equipment.

If there was no one, Xia Xinyu thought it would be fine.

But after knowing that there were some people here, she felt a little embarrassed.

Even if it’s just to put on the Kongming Lantern.

"Take a sip of your drink first." After unscrewing the lid of the tea pi, Chen Yuan handed it to Xia Xinyu.

Then, he began to study the hole meow lantern.

The difference from those two-yuan ones is not only in the shape, but also in quality.

The hole meow lantern is thickened and a bit milky white, typical of the idol group.

The ten dollars will be reflected here.

The one- or two-dollar Kongming lanterns are too thin and can easily be burned through, or they simply cannot be put on and will fall over as soon as they float.

"Let me help."

Xia Xinyu took a sip of her drink, placed it on the stone guardrail, and then leaned over.

"Then take it. Hold it with both hands. This one is very strong."

"okay."

Following Chen Yuan's instructions, Xia Xinyu set up the Kongming Lantern. Chen Yuan lit the candle.

It's a pity that the lighter is not windproof, and it was blown out by the wind several times after lighting it.

"Get closer." Looking at Chen Yuan who was already very close to her because he lowered his head, Xia Xinyu whispered, "Hidden from the wind."

So, Chen Yuan lowered his head, and just when his forehead touched Xia Xinyu's head, the candle was finally lit.

But he did not relax and used his hands to form a 'wall' to protect the flames.

In this way, Kong Miao Lantern became more and more powerful.

Even if no one is holding it, it seems to be able to balance.

Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu held it together.

Afraid of blowing out the candles, they waited in silence.

Half a minute later, the light floated...

"Fly higher."

Chen Yuan also has hopes for it.

up.

Life is about riding a horse upward!

"But you have to fly slowly..."

Looking up at the Kong Miao Lantern that was slowly rising into the sky and could no longer be touched, Xia Xinyu's eyes shone with hope, then she closed her eyes and murmured briefly in her heart.

At night, everything that shines is moving.

Because it can dispel darkness and give people direction.

When it opened its eyes, it was already in the air, and its eyes followed Kong Miao Lantern, which was gradually moving horizontally above the river.

Suddenly, she felt her right hand being gently held.

With a smile on her lips, Xia Xinyu also held the other person's hand, and intertwined her fingers with him as in a dream.

Lowering her head, she was about to say something when she saw Chen Yuan, who was holding her hand and holding a string of shell bracelets in the other hand, and was stunned.

Face flushed, Xia Xinyu quickly let go of her hand, slightly shifted her gaze, and weakly stretched her wrist towards Chen Yuan...

Chen Yuan also turned slightly red.

But she still put this beautiful bracelet on Xia Xinyu's beautiful slender wrist.

Then gently lock the sterling silver buckle.
