Every winter, around the time of final exams, it was Mi Xue’s birthday. The little girl’s birthday was in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and if she was lucky, it was during the winter break. At that time, Mi Yang would accompany her to play for several days, go to the zoo, museum, and even take her to the amusement park, buy a ticket and stay there all day, until she had enough fun.
This year was no exception. Mi Yang prepared in advance and took her to the amusement park. At this time last year, Mi Xue was not tall enough to ride the "Jungle Flying Squirrel". Now she is over 1.2 meters tall. She asked Cheng Qing to measure her height early in the morning and followed Mi Yang out confidently with her small schoolbag on her back.
Mi Yang and she were wearing the same clothes, brother and sister outfits, but when they first arrived at the amusement park, Mi Xue had an extra pink cartoon hat. Mi Yang squatted down and straightened it for her, "A gift for the little birthday girl."
Michelle said: "Brother already gave it to me last night!"
Mi Yang smiled and said, "This is an extra little gift."
The little girl stood there and let her brother put it on her, her little face red with joy.
Mi Yang took her out to play for most of the day when Bai Luochuan called. The amusement park was noisy. Mi Yang stared at his sister while answering him. It took him a long time to explain his current location. Not long after he hung up the phone, Young Master Bai came.
The weather was a bit cold. Bai Luochuan wore a pilot-style short lapel jacket and had his hair cut short, looking youthful and handsome. He glanced at the crowd and soon saw Mi Yang waving at him, and strode towards him.
Bai Luochuan asked him: "How long will you play?"
Mi Yang showed the cartoon bracelet on his wrist and said with a smile: "The pass will take a long time, why don't you go and do other things first, you can always go back in the evening."
Bai Luochuan sighed, leaned against the railing and looked at the colorful and flashing lights of the surrounding amusement facilities and said, "It's really troublesome. Forget it, I'll accompany you."
Mi Yang has grown taller this year, now he is 1.7 meters tall, while Bai Luochuan is still half a head taller than him. The two of them are waiting at the carousel and talking in low voices. From a distance, they are still very pleasing to the eye. Both are handsome boys, one is tall and handsome, the other is gentle and handsome.
Bai Luochuan lowered his head and complained to Mi Yang about something, and Mi Yang started to laugh. He was holding a large windmill in his hand, which was turning with a rustling sound. His eyebrows and eyes were curved, which made it easy for people to like him. Just like before, he seemed to have no offensive power, and people could talk to him without worry.
When Michelle got off the merry-go-round, she saw Bai Luochuan reaching out to fix her brother's hair, styling it very naturally. Seeing her, she raised her chin and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next one."
It looked as if he was the protagonist of the birthday and her brother came to the amusement park to accompany him.
The little girl wanted to win the favor of Mi Yang, and said to him, "Brother, I still want to ride the carousel."
Mi Yang naturally doted on her and nodded, "Go, I'll wait for you here."
Bai Luochuan put his arm on Mi Yang's shoulder and leaned over to joke with him: "Why don't you go too? I think that black horse looks like Wule. You can get used to it in advance, so that you won't be so nervous every time you go back to ride a horse during the holidays."
There were little girls on the carousel, so Mi Yang refused to go. He smiled and shook his head and refused: "Next time I go back, just teach me more."
Young Master Bai liked to hear this and nodded in agreement immediately.
Michelle chose a pink wooden horse and rode it in circles, but she was still looking for her brother. The music in the playground was too loud and she was too far away to hear what her brother was saying, but she could see him talking to people and laughing. The little girl bit her lip, feeling a little frustrated. She felt that she and her brother were not the best friends in the world, and had to admit that her brother and Bai Luochuan were the best.
It wasn't just the little girl who had childish ideas. The older, childish children on the other side were also bargaining with Mi Yang.
Bai Luochuan squinted at Mu Ma and snorted, "You played with Michelle for so long today, you have to spend the whole day with me during the New Year."
Mi Yang said: "Why do you always compare yourself with children?"
Master Bai didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and said confidently: "You only spent half an afternoon with me on my birthday. I don't care. I asked Aunt Cheng, and she said that you are not going back to your hometown this year, and will only be back on the fifth day of the New Year. You have to accompany me during the New Year."
Mi Yang thought about it and said, "Okay."
Bai Luochuan became happy and discussed with him where to go for the New Year. Mi Yang had a good temper and agreed with everything he said. Occasionally, Bai Luochuan asked him a question, and he would think for a long time before smiling and saying, "I don't know either. I used to go back to my hometown with my parents. If I have to choose... well, let's go to Nanjing Road for the New Year's Eve countdown?"
Bai Luochuan sneered: "Did a girl in your class say that?"
Mi Yang scratched the tip of his nose and said, "Everyone says so. Many people go there every year. I heard it's very lively."
Bai Luochuan wanted to hide him as soon as the holiday came. He was not allowed to see any female classmates, so he had no intention of joining in the fun. He quickly deflected the proposal. Michelle's wooden horse also stopped at that time. The little girl came out of the queue and asked her brother for her big windmill. She chattered to her brother like a lark.
"Brother, can I tell you about the zodiac?" Michelle held her brother's hand and walked happily. The little girls in her school like to buy those cartoon magazines. The last two pages must have something about the zodiac. They buy them to analyze. The girls are very keen on this. "I calculated it the other day. Brother is a Libra!"
Mi Yang cooperated: “Oh, how about Libra, okay?”
Michelle said: "Very good!"
Bai Luochuan also asked, "What about my zodiac sign? Is it compatible with Libra?"
Michelle had eaten cakes for so many years, so she naturally remembered Bai Luochuan's birthday, but she usually only watched her brother's birthday alone, and hadn't seen other constellations. She thought hard for a while and said, "It should be okay."
Young Master Bai was naturally not satisfied with the result. There happened to be an astrology house in the amusement park, so they passed by there and simply went in to take a test.
Mi Xue was taken in to touch the crystal ball. The little girl was excited about everything she saw, but Young Master Bai didn't have so much time to think about it. He sat down and asked someone to analyze whether his and Mi Yang's zodiac signs were compatible.
"… Libras often like Leos' straightforwardness and bravery, and Leos also appreciate Libras' gentleness and elegance. But if they become a couple and spend all day together, over time they won't have the same feelings as before, and their lives will change a lot." The staff member read the manual dryly. She had just started working not long ago, and seeing the man in front of her face getting worse and worse, she didn't dare to say anything more. She tried hard to squeeze out a sentence that was not in the manual, "Well, there are actually no incompatible zodiac signs, only incompatible people, don't you think?"
Bai Luochuan still looked unhappy. He sat there with a stern face and said nothing.
The staff gave up the manual and started making up stories on the spot, trying to make these two signs particularly compatible and in tune with each other.
Young Master Bai's expression slowly began to ease.
"… In short, these two signs are quite compatible. If you have someone you like, you can pursue them boldly and you will definitely succeed!"
When Mi Yang came over, he happened to hear the staff say this. He glanced at Bai Luochuan and said with a smile: "Do you still believe in horoscopes?"
Bai Luochuan stood up and walked out with him, saying lazily, "I'm just asking because I'm bored."
Mi Yang looked at his sister who was walking lively in front of him, thinking about what he had just heard, and coughed with a little selfishness, "What did you ask just now?"
Master Bai laughed and said, "Nothing."
Mi Yang pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Have you fallen in love with a girl? It seemed like you were pursuing her smoothly just now."
Bai Luochuan held his hand and shook it twice like Michelle did. As expected, his mood improved and he smiled, "It's OK. I'll tell you when I catch up. Keep it a secret for now."
Mi Yang felt a little blocked in the heart, and a little sour, and the tip of his nose was stuffy as if he had a cold. He was in a daze for a long time.
He felt that he was of no use.
Just hearing Bai Luochuan say this made him feel uncomfortable, but with this person by his side, just a few words from him could make his mood go up and down. The hand he held was very warm, like a little bit of sweetness in the sourness, and he had to hold it in his mouth for a long time to taste it.
Among the three, only Michelle let go and had a good time for the day, while the other two were thinking about their own things.
They played until the evening, when the Bai family's driver came to pick them up and took them all the way to Mi Yang's home.
Bai Luochuan was about to leave, but when he saw a car parked nearby, he immediately got out and said, "I'll go up and take a look too."
Mi Yang didn't know what he wanted to see. Master Bai came to his house as often as he went to Bai's house, so he naturally agreed and joked with him: "Why don't you call Aunt Luo and stay at my house for dinner? My mother will definitely cook a lot of delicious dishes today, and braised pork, make it sweeter..."
The door opened, and in the living room of the Mi family sat a boy of about fourteen or fifteen. He had probably been here for quite a while, and had taken off his windbreaker and plaid scarf and hung them on the hanger beside him. He was reading a magazine for children with great interest. When he heard the doorbell, he looked up and immediately smiled and said, "Oh, you're all back? I was thinking of calling you guys later to urge you, Aunt Cheng will have the meal ready soon, and you won't be able to enjoy it if you're late!"
Mi Yang was stunned for a moment, and felt that he looked familiar. Bai Luochuan next to him shouted with a dark face: "Ji Baian!"
Only then did he remember that this was the Young Master Ji, Bai Luochuan's cousin, who was also a problem teenager back then. He would subconsciously hide when he saw him. Maybe he had a better impression of him when he was a child, or maybe he had been particularly well protected by Young Master Bai in recent years, so he was not afraid of him anymore when he saw him now.
Bai Luochuan was more alert than Mi Yang: "What are you doing here?"
Ji Baian put down the magazine in his hand, still smiling: "Come to eat, and by the way, I heard that Xiaoxue is having a birthday, so I gave her a gift."
Bai Luochuan said: "How many times have you seen her? You even called her by name."
Ji Baian thought for a moment and said, "That's right, I should follow Mi Yang and call her 'sister', right?"
Mi Yang said with a stiff upper lip: "It's all right."
Bai Luochuan snorted heavily beside him, showing great dissatisfaction.
The two cousins were at odds with each other openly or secretly, but when Cheng Qing came out, they became gentle and polite again, and their words were sweeter than each other. Bai Luochuan rolled up his sleeves to help serve the dishes, and Ji Baian was pushed aside by him and couldn't get anything, but that didn't stop him from standing aside and praising, and he could shamelessly say anything to praise.
