Some things don’t matter if you don’t remember them, but if you don’t do something when you remember them, you always feel sorry for them.
The waiter raised a polite smile and said, "Hello, a total of 106 yuan. May I ask if it is a credit card or cash."
"Wait." Ye Zhou pointed to the cake that the woman just took away and said, "Is that kind of cake still available?"
"I'm sorry, we only made one of each cake for display. The lady just bought our window display, and we have no stock here. Why don't you take a look at the other cakes?"
The remaining three cakes, a tiramisu, a matcha mousse, and a cartoon cake for children. Except for the cartoon cake which has two strawberries, the other two cakes have no strawberries.
"Can you help me make another strawberry cake like the one just now?"
The cashier said, "We all have to pre-order this cake."
"I can add more money." Ye Zhou pleaded with his hands together, "Can you apply for me?"
Failing to withstand the handsome guy's offensive, the cashier blushed and asked his colleague to ask the store manager.
The store manager agreed, but he had to wait until half past eleven to start helping him.
Ye Zhou glanced at the time and said, "Okay, call me when you're ready, and I'll go shopping nearby." Ye Zhou paid the money, put the receipt in his pocket, and put the dessert he chose along with it. in the shop.
Cakes are just for eating, and they are not birthday gifts at all for Ye Zhou.
Therefore, Ye Zhou went to the nearby shopping mall for a while, thinking about what gift to choose for Shang Jin. Shang Jin seems to be a person who lacks everything, and the feeling of playing will be thrown by him in the corner to collect dust. Unfortunately, he doesn't play games, otherwise it would be great to buy a piece of equipment directly in the game to give him. Use it.
Unconsciously, walking into an alley, Ye Zhou saw an old lady pushing a cart with a lot of plants grown in vinyl pots.
Spring is here, and many people start to grow balcony vegetables.
Ye Zhou glanced briefly and only recognized the pepper seedlings.
Perhaps Ye Zhou had been staring at the things on the cart, and the old lady asked, "What kind of seedling do you want to see?"
Ye Zhou squatted down, he was no stranger to plants, whether it was from books, videos or around him, they could be seen everywhere. But really looking at a small seedling, from growing leaves to blooming to bearing fruit, has never been such an experience.
Plants are not like animals, they cry when they are happy and howling when they are sad. If they start to breed, they also need to pay a lot of effort, even more trouble than animals. When an animal is sick, it can be sent to a pet hospital to be handed over to a doctor. If there is any problem with a plant, it is up to the owner to find out the cause and take care of its growth.
Looking at these little seedlings, Ye Zhou thought about a gift to give to Shang Jin.
Shang Jin, who knew nothing about this, saw Liang Jingmin's three missed calls since he woke up in the morning.
On a Saturday morning, starting at seven o'clock, calling every hour is quite busy.
Before he got out of bed, Liang Jingmin's call rang again on Shang Jin's cell phone.
Shang Jin clicked his tongue and picked it up.
"Son, happy birthday. Mommy is at school today to celebrate your birthday."
"no need."
"Why not, my son's birthday is a big event." Liang Jingmin asked again, "What about your dad? Did you call you today? Forget it, needless to say, he must have forgotten that his current thoughts are all on his little wife. , how can you tell if you care about you? If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. You have to remember that now only your mother is closest to you. I only have your son, but your father is not necessarily. "
"It's just a birthday, so what if you ask, what if you don't ask?"
"This shows whether he cares about you. When the little girl was celebrating her third birthday, your dad specially invited a planner to hold a birthday party in the sea view villa. At that time—"
Hearing that Liang Jingmin wanted to bring up the old story, Shang Jin interrupted her directly, "I appreciate your kindness. I'm already an adult, and I should have the right to decide how to spend my birthday. That's it, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Jin flipped through the contacts and saw Ye Zhou's name, suddenly he didn't want to celebrate his birthday alone.
When it was lunch time, Shang Jin hesitated to send a text message to Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou hurried back to school with the cake in one hand and the gift he spent buying all morning in the other.
It was a bit difficult on the way back to the dormitory. Both the cake and the gift wanted to surprise Shang Jin. At this point in time, Shang Jin must be in the dormitory. Besides, when Shang Jin saw the gift he gave, he would definitely invite him to lunch. He was going to see Tang Dongdong at noon. It would be too pitiful to refuse an invitation from a birthday star on his birthday.
After thinking about it, Ye Zhou went downstairs in the dormitory, instead of going upstairs, he put everything in the carriage behind the tricycle.
If Shang Jin used a small tricycle, he would definitely ride on it and go without looking at the rear compartment.
During this time, the weather was good, and no one asked them to borrow a car.
What a convenient and secret hiding place.
Ye Zhou couldn't help but sigh, the three wheels are really versatile, and it's worth spending so much money on them.
Who knows that Ye Zhou's imagination is beautiful, but reality still forces him to make a choice.
At 12:30, Ye Zhou was sitting in the cafeteria. Su Yin and Tang Dongdong were on the third floor of the cafeteria. The two had already agreed in advance. When Su Yin sent a message, Ye Zhou was going to pretend to meet with dessert.
Unexpectedly, in just two minutes, he received news from Shang Jin and Su Yin successively.
Shang Jin: Have you eaten yet
Su Yin: You can come up.
Ye Zhou was caught in a dilemma.
Shang Jin, why don't you play cards according to the routine
He clearly planned to meet Tang Dongdong at noon, summon the guys in the dormitory in the afternoon, bring the cake back in the evening, and go to the cafeteria to help Shang Jin celebrate his birthday, and give gifts to each other after returning from dinner.
But now...
It would be nice if he didn't remember in the morning that today was Shang Jin's birthday, so that he could refuse Shang Jin without any burden...
This tangle, time has passed for a few minutes.
Su Yin sent a message urging: If you don't come, you will finish your meal!
Ye Zhou hesitated for two seconds, glanced at the dessert in his hand, and replied to Su Yin: As soon as I have something to do, I will give you the donuts I bought and leave.
After sending it, I quickly replied to Shang Jin.
Ye Zhou: I'm in the second canteen, how about you
I sent it this time, but there was no reply from Shang Jin.
There were not many people in the cafeteria on Saturday. As soon as Ye Zhou went up to the third floor, he saw Su Yin, Tang Dongdong and a table sitting in the middle.
He tidied up his clothes, went around the third floor to buy a cup of milk tea, pretended to pass by Su Yin's table, and waited for Su Yin to stop him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
"Isn't this Ye Zhou?" Su Yin pretended to be surprised with his poor acting skills, "Long time no see, are you coming to eat on the third floor too?"
"Su Yin?" Ye Zhou sat rudely opposite the two of them, his eyes fell on Tang Dongdong's face, Tang Dongdong was still the same as in memory, with a round face and big eyes, like a puppy, people couldn't help it I want to touch my head, "Who is this?"
"This is my friend Tang Dongdong." Su Yin took the opportunity to introduce them to the two, "Dongdong, this is my friend Ye Zhou."
Tang Dongdong nodded to Ye Zhou lukewarmly.
Ye Zhou wondered why his personality was different from what he remembered...
When he saw Tang Dongdong for the first time, Tang Dongdong was enthusiastically feeding the stray cats, with a healing smile on his face, he hit Ye Zhou's heart at once, and firmly believed that this must be the legendary love at first sight. Knowing that Tang Dongdong and Su Yin knew each other, he even tried to get Tang Dongdong's information from Su Yin's mouth, so he didn't hesitate to take photos of Shang Jin in exchange.
Before Ye Zhou could figure out what was going on, Su Yin looked at the stairs on the third floor and exclaimed. Ye Zhou followed his line of sight and immediately lost his mind.
At the entrance of the stairs on the third floor, Shang Jin was holding a little girl, followed by a beauty. Although the beauty was beautiful, she was older than Shang Jin at first glance.
At this time, Ye Zhou wanted to know who the people around Shang Jin were more than why Tang Dongdong looked different from the first sight.
Shang Jin never mentioned his family, so Ye Zhou took it for granted that Shang Jin was like him and had a bad relationship with his family. It was precisely because of the same illness that Ye Zhou thought about helping Shang Jin celebrate his birthday... Unexpectedly, the other party would not need.
The little girl hugged Shang Jin's neck and looked around, but there was no trace of impatience on Shang Jin's face.
Su Yin pulled Yezhou's sleeve and asked, "Who is that?"
"how could I know."
Tang Dongdong also looked in the direction of Shang Jin, and sighed after seeing Shang Jin who was blocked by the little girl: "The boys in your school are really handsome."
After Ye Zhou heard this, he became even more depressed.
Shang Jin came to the second canteen with Shang Youyou in his arms. Qin Fei and Shang Youyou's arrival was unexpected, but because of the Chinese New Year, Shang Jin took the initiative to Shang Youyou. By Shang Jin. On Shang Jin's birthday, she even urged Qin Fei to bring her over to deliver cakes to Shang Jin.
Going up the stairs, Shang Jin saw Ye Zhou at a glance.
Ye Zhou told himself about his affairs, and Shang Jin didn't mind letting Ye Zhou touch his own life. Just as he was about to walk towards Ye Zhou with Shang Youyou in his arms, he saw the person opposite Ye Zhou. When he passed Ye Zhou, he paused, nodding at him, and left without a word of greeting. Ye Zhou opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
After Su Yin and Tang Dongdong finished eating, Ye Zhou didn't say anything, handed the dessert he bought to Su Yin, and returned to the dormitory with little interest.
Waking up too early in the morning, Ye Zhou read a book for an hour, then lay on the bed with his eyes closed and fell asleep unconsciously. When he woke up, it was already dark outside the window, and Shang Jin was sitting at the table reading a book.
Ye Zhou pretended to ask casually, "Noon... Who is that?"
Shang Jin turned a page and said, "Auntie and sister."
"Auntie..." Ye Zhou felt relieved from the breath he had been holding in his heart, and boasted without hesitation, "You look so young and beautiful."
Shang Jin put down the book and looked at him complicatedly, "Don't you like men? I didn't expect to focus on women."
"It doesn't matter if you like it or not. Who doesn't want to take a second look when seeing a beauty."
"shallow."
Ye Zhou didn't care, his gloomy mood cleared up, he glanced at the clock on the table and said, "I'll go downstairs to get something, you help me prop up the desk on the bed."
"Eh..." Shang Jin said dissatisfiedly, "how to say wind is rain." After all, Shang Jin still propped up the desk on the bed in the middle of the dormitory.
Ten minutes later, Ye Zhou ran up out of breath, with one hand behind his back and the other carrying a reusable bag. Ye Zhou put the bag aside, closed the door, walked to Shang Jin, and put the cake box in it. Say, "Happy Birthday!"
Shang Jin said in surprise: "How do you..."
Before Shang Jin could finish his question, Ye Zhou replied proudly: "Who am I, can there be something in the world that I don't know?" An inch strawberry cake comes into view.
"I remember that you didn't seem to make a wish at noon." At noon, he saw the cake sent by Aunt Shang Jin was cut open as soon as he opened it. Ye Zhou took out a slender candle and inserted it in the middle of the cake. He took the lighter from Liu Yutian's table, and with a "pop", the flames flashed. Ye Zhou lit the candle and walked to the door to turn off the light.
For a moment, the room fell into darkness, only the warm yellow candlelight shone on the cake.
Ye Zhou half squatted aside, resting his arms on the small desk, looking at Shang Jin expectantly, "Make a wish."
The candlelight was imprinted in Ye Zhou's eyes, but it seemed to scorch Shang Jin's heart.
Shang Jin stared at Ye Zhou for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
Not a sneer, but a genuine smile from the heart.
This smile made Ye Zhou look stupid. Even though the two were in the dormitory now, Ye Zhou felt as if he heard the sound of an iceberg melting.
"Thank you, I... very happy." Shang Jin closed his eyes and started to make a wish on the cake.
Ye Zhou's heart pounded a few times faster. Before Shang Jin opened his eyes, he buried his face in his arms and smirked uncontrollably. Fortunately, he remembered Shang Jin's birthday.
very nice.
