Kou Chen hadn't drank like this for a long time, probably because his family had never held a birthday party for him in such a big way. Although he didn't recognize all the relatives who came, he didn't know many of his parents' friends. Still in a good mood.
"My son is an adult today," Kou's second brother raised his glass, "I'm very happy because he's an adult because he's very similar to me... This is something I only discovered not long ago, but I also understand that he's not destined to be another person. One of me, he will be another adult to make the family proud, and I hope everyone can share this joy with me."
This was the first time Kou Er Er had toasted him. Kou Chen was a little flattered and picked up the cup and drank it. He didn't say anything, just gave Kou Er Er a hug.
"Come on," Kou Er patted him on the back, "don't think I said this, you can fail the final exam."
"...You're better than me in just one weekly test," Kou Chen also patted him on the back, "Don't be crazy too early."
"That's right," Kou Er laughed, "it's still not as crazy as you little brats, you dare to be crazy if you don't understand anything."
"It's only when you don't know anything that you dare to be mad." Kou Chen poured two more glasses of wine, took one and handed it to Kou's second child, "Dad, I toast you with this glass."
"What do you want to say?" Second child Kou looked at him with a smile.
"Don't say anything," Kou Chen tapped lightly on his glass, "I can feel it, and you can definitely feel it."
"Okay." Kou Eryi raised his head and drank the wine.
Kou Chen also raised his head.
He didn't know how much he drank that night. He couldn't count the number of toasts with Kou Er Er. When he finally got home, Kou Xiao drove the car, his mother sat in the passenger seat, and they both hugged Lao Yang and sang in the back seat. all the way.
"How's the singing!" Kou Er pointed at Lao Yang, "Speak!"
"Very good." Lao Yang gave a thumbs up.
"It's definitely good," Kou Chen said, "Talk left and right!"
"Yes," Lao Yang gave his thumbs up and didn't put it down. "Although the left and right channels are not in the same tune, the surround effect is still very good. I'm almost deaf."
Kou Xiao laughed in front of him until his voice broke.
"What are you laughing at!" Mom glared at her, "Drive well and watch the road!"
"Why don't you drive." Kou Xiao said with a smile.
"Forget it," my mother said, "they must have woken up when I started drinking. The two of them have never been so happy. They didn't quarrel all night. When your dad gave Chenchen alcohol, he didn't get angry. He was so drunk. Just a moment."
Mom said this in a very soft voice, but Kou Chen still heard it, leaning on the back seat and giggling all the time.
Second child Kou actually poured him alcohol
What kind of daddy is this!
And no one stopped it
Are you still not angry
Hey hey hey hey hey hey.
Kou Chen took out his mobile phone, the words on the screen looked a bit doubled, and he opened the chat box in a daze.
- Xiao Ranran!
Soon Huo Ran replied.
-
Kou Chen was a little unhappy.
- what about you! So cool!
-Because you posted it to the group, Xiaochen
Kou Chen glanced at this sentence, and found that the avatar was not Huo Ran.
He immediately sobered up a lot, stared again, and found that the avatar was Xu Chuan.
Then a group of people came out and brushed a row.
-Because you posted it to the group, Xiaochen
-Because you posted it to the group, Xiaochen
-Because you posted it to the group, Xiaochen
-Because you posted it to the group, Xiaochen
…
-To shut up!
Kou Chen made a statement.
This time, Xu Zhifan took the lead.
- not really
- not really
- not really
- not really
…
Huo Ran made a hanging expression.
- I want to leave the group
Jiang Lei followed without a second thought.
- I want to leave the group
- I want to leave the group
- I want to leave the group
…
-Private chat
Huo Ran made a sentence.
When Kou Chen exited the group chat and clicked on Huo Ran's chat box, the group was still queuing for "private chat".
-I am drunk…
- I see, was it fun today
-It's not fun, I just keep drinking, I feel like I'm going to break the chapter, so I'll ask you a few words first, if I don't call you when I fall asleep, you don't know what's going on
- It's okay, I can guess it, you keep drinking if it's not fun
- not fun but happy
- Your father is also very happy, isn't he
-Yes
Kou Chen glanced at the second Kou, who was still singing to Lao Yang's right ear.
-In addition to Lao Yuan, I have to thank you, without a spokesperson, I can't say a lot of words at all
-Then let the speaker sleep with you tomorrow
Kou Chen was stunned.
In an instant, he felt that he was completely awake, he quickly turned off the screen of his mobile phone, and swept towards Lao Yang from the corner of his eye.
Fortunately, he was leaning against the car door, and because of the pain, Lao Yang leaned forward to avoid the monophonic noise... He breathed a sigh of relief and focused on the screen.
- are you a fucking jb jerky
- Be civilized!
- Who is the first to be uncivilized!
- you
-…
- Don't say it, it will be bad for people to see later, I am afraid that you will send it to the circle of friends
- not so much!
-Tomorrow at ten o'clock, I'll go find you, after the barbecue of their school, let's meet again
-Um
After putting the phone on the bedside table to charge, Huo Ran lay on the bed, feeling like an old hooligan, the one who had been holding back for many years.
What a shame.
Nowhere to be ashamed.
But he is steadfast and does not want to correct his mistakes.
This kind of thinking continued until he fell asleep and dreamed a lot of related content, but even more ashamed, because of his inexperience, he behaved more like a chef in the dream.
Holding Kou Chen's arms and legs, he turned his face back and forth.
Fry until golden brown on both sides...
They had discussed the meeting at ten o'clock for the barbecue. They went to call Kou Chen early in the morning, and the others went to the scene to check the balloons in advance, strengthen the camouflage, and conduct the last rehearsal.
There are six pits in total, and a small piece of rope is left on each pit. As long as you pull it, the board buried under the soil will be lifted, and the balloon in the pit will rise.
Pulling the rope one by one, I have a secret, and the words will appear in front of Kou Chen's eyes one by one.
very perfect.
Seamless.
Huo Ran was even a bit jealous. He didn't have such elaborate surprise arrangements for his birthday.
Gee.
Kou Chen ran downstairs in his pajamas until Huo Ran arrived at his house, and when he saw Huo Ran, he immediately turned around and ran up, saying, "I thought my dad came back, why are you so early? Here, wait for me in a while, I'll just get up."
Huo Ran wanted to follow him up very, very, very much, but unfortunately was held back by Mama Kou.
"Are you going to barbecue today?" Kou's mother asked.
"Well," Huo Ran nodded, sat on the sofa, and hugged Shuaishuai who rushed over, "It's not too far, we'll go back to school after the barbecue."
This is a bit condescending to say.
"Pay attention to safety," said Mama Kou, "but I'm relieved to have you here."
"You can rest assured when Kou Chen is with you," Huo Ran smiled, "Really."
"You are the best at talking," Kou's mother patted him with a smile. "You are very good. Kou Chen has half of you, and he can't fight with his father."
"Walk, walk, walk," Kou Chen quickly ran downstairs again, his clothes were changed, his hair was still wet, "Let's go."
"Didn't I wash my hair last night, I had to wash my hair in the middle of the night," said Mama Kou, "Why do you wash it again in the morning?"
"I'm sleeping in a mess," Kou Chen pulled Shuaishuai and kissed him on the head. "Today, my brother won't take you to play. My brother is going out. You stay with your mother at home."
Handsome shouted.
When Huo Ran followed him out, he had the illusion that the two of them were going to catch a plane, and was in a hurry.
"Did you come here by bike?" Kou Chen asked.
"Well," Huo Ran nodded, "how did you get there?"
"I rode a bike with you," Kou Chen ran to the garage, "I haven't ridden a bike with you yet!"
"I'll take you on a bike ride after the final exam." Huo Ran said.
"You said that!" Kou Chen turned back and pointed at him as he ran, "Why don't you take me on the road to rob me!"
Huo Ran smiled and nodded.
"To be honest, I'm not satisfied with you guys!" Kou Chen glanced at Huo Ran while pedaling the car, "I'm not satisfied!"
"What's wrong?" Huo Ran asked.
"My birthday, you guys didn't hit 12 o'clock!" Kou Chen said.
"I pinched." Huo Ran shouted.
"They didn't!" Kou Chen also shouted, "I will scold them after I finish eating."
"Okay!" Huo Ran nodded.
It's fine if you don't cry, scolding a fart.
Thinking of what Kou Chen would look like when he saw the words on the balloon, Huo Ran couldn't help but want to laugh.
He wrote the characters himself. Although at the beginning, because his characters were not very good-looking, everyone agreed to let Xu Chuan write them. Xu Chuan's grades were not good, but he was forced by his family to practice characters since he was a child, and his handwriting was good.
But in the end, he insisted that he wrote it himself. It must be written by him to make it more meaningful.
A group of people met on the path in front of the barbecue site, each with three small batteries, Huo Ran exchanged glances with them, and knew that several people had checked the previous arrangement and there was no problem.
"Let's go," Xu Zhifan said, "Shou Xing."
Kou Chen glanced at the pockets of food on the small battery, and expressed his satisfaction: "I brought so much? Whoever made it? Don't you want to marinate it?"
"Leilei and Superman, the mother," Xu Chuan said, "guaranteed to be delicious."
"Where's the cake!" Kou Chen shouted again, "I want to eat cake!"
"Here!" Hu Yi opened the small battery in front of him, with a cake box between his feet, "It's indispensable, don't worry, I promise to make your birthday happy today."
Kou Chen laughed twice.
In order to avoid balloon accidents, everyone put the candle blowing session first, then the gift, and then the surprise, and then you can let go and eat.
There are several slates at the barbecue site. From the traces on them, it should be found by people who came to barbecue before to put things, and it happened to be a table.
A group of people put the cake on it and removed the box.
Hu Yi brought a tripod and put his mobile phone on it to record the video.
"Damn it!" Kou Chen was a little surprised when he looked at the cake full of rose petals, "This is really..."
"Brother loves you." Huo Ran said.
"Brother loves you!" Several people shouted together.
Kou Chen laughed: "Fuck."
"Today is our Xiaochenchen's eighteenth birthday," Xu Chuan took out a candle, "We light one candle each, seven candles in total, I hope our friendship... friendship..."
Xu Chuan glanced at Xu Zhifan: "How can I say it?"
"I hope our friendship is not afraid of time," Xu Zhifan said, "not afraid of distance."
"Don't be afraid of time, don't be afraid of distance!" Jiang Lei repeated, "Zhifan, go write poetry."
"Don't be afraid of time, don't be afraid of distance!" Everyone shouted together holding candles.
Seven candles were lit and inserted into the cake.
"Here's a... Is this a flower?" Huo Ran took out what looked like a small fairy stick from a pile of knives and forks, a small wire with a heart shape on it.
"Should it be?" Jiang Lei looked at it, "Can it be lit?"
"Where to go?" Huo Ran studied it. The heart shape is a complete gray circle, with no interface and no fuse. "Are birthday flowers so advanced now? Are we getting old?"
"The primary school students downstairs called me uncle yesterday." Wei Chaoren said, "I didn't catch up with the guy I wanted to beat him up, maybe he's really old..."
"Click here!" Kou Chen pointed to the little tip in the middle of the heart.
"Okay, listen to Shou Xing, and have a snack." Huo Ran took the lighter and burned it for a while.
Everyone smelled the smell of mush, but no flowers came out.
"Isn't it?" Huo Ran looked at it, "It's all burnt to black, and it's nothing."
"Just here, burn for a while." Kou Chen was very persistent.
"Maybe it's not a flower?" Jiang Lei said, "It's just a decoration?"
"Burning," Kou Chen said, "how can there be such an ugly decoration, what kind of aesthetics!"
"Okay." Huo Ran nodded and continued to burn there.
Two seconds later, a small golden spark suddenly burst out from the light of the lighter, and it burst along the heart shape at a very fast speed.
"Damn it!" Huo Ran shouted.
"Quick!" Xu Chuan shouted, "Put on the cake and sing quickly!"
"Quick, quick!" A group of people suddenly urged frantically.
Huo Ran hurriedly poked the flower in the middle of the cake, and before he could stand firm, Wei Chaoren roared: "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"
The others immediately followed and shouted, "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Kou Chen!"
A roaring birthday song rushed to the beat, and finished singing at the same time as the little 呲花 flashed.
Everyone applauded and applauded as if they had completed some great project, and Jiang Lei also whistled a few times.
"Happy Birthday Kou Chen!"
"Thank you!" Kou Chen couldn't stop laughing, and he didn't forget to reach out, "Hurry up, gift."
Several people took out gifts from their bags.
Xu Chuan sent a set of luminous retractable traction ropes.
"Who are you celebrating your birthday for?" Kou Chen said, "You give Shuaishuai a present for my birthday."
"Hurry up, next one!" Xu Chuan said with a smile.
Xu Zhifan sent a pen, Wei Chaoren sent a pair of custom riding knee pads, Jiang Lei sent an eye protection lamp, and Hu Yi sent a small voice recorder.
"Leilei knows where radishes are," Kou Chen glanced at them, "you three are really worrying about my studies."
"It should." Hu Yi said, "After all, your father is too strong."
Several people laughed for a long time, Kou Chen turned his head to look at Huo Ran: "Where's yours!"
"His gift comes after the surprise." Xu Zhifan said.
"Surprise?" Kou Chen was stunned. "Are there any surprises? I thought that Hua Hua was a surprise."
"Action!" Wei Chaoren shouted.
A group of people jumped up and ran to the back of the disguised pit a few meters away and stood in a row.
Kou Chen was a little puzzled, but the joy and emotion still began to pour in little by little.
"Why?" he asked with a smile, "what a surprise!"
The six people squatted down as they had been rehearsed in advance, and touched the small rope they were in charge of on the ground.
"Kou Chen, happy birthday," Xu Chuan said, "this is a birthday surprise prepared by Huo Ran for you."
"Really?" Kou Chen immediately turned to look at Huo Ran.
Huo Ran smiled and said nothing.
"Happy birthday!" Xu Chuan pulled the rope.
A small wooden board suddenly turned up on the ground, and then a red balloon jumped out with four "I" characters written in circles on it.
"I me me me." Kou Chen looked at it in shock and read it again.
He knew the word. It was Huo Ran's word. It wasn't very well written, but it was very free and easy. To put it bluntly, it was the type where there must be strokes in the frame.
"Happy birthday!" Wei Chaoren also pulled the rope.
Another balloon popped out.
"There are some." Kou Chen continued to stutter in shock.
"Happy birthday!" Xu Zhifan shouted.
"One-one-one." Kou Chen felt as if his throat was lifted.
Then Jiang Lei: "Happy Birthday!"
"All of them." Kou Chen stood up to prevent laying an egg.
"Happy birthday!" Hu Yi also shouted.
"Secret, secret." Kou Chen found that his eyes were a little blurry, and his eyes were hot.
Huo Ran was the only one who didn't shout. He pulled the rope and said with a smile, "Happy birthday, Chen Chen."
"Mi Mi Mi Mi..." Kou Chen decided at this moment to give up his character to force the king, and walked over while wiping his tears, crying: "Fuck, what are you doing..."
Several people smiled and did not speak.
He walked in front of Huo Ran, tears came out, and he wiped his eyes twice: "What's the secret?"
"I've already told you," Huo Ran said, "you've put it all in the box."
"Come on." Kou Chen said.
Tears poured out loudly, and we cried more bitterly than when I was chased by Kou's second child to make sausages.
"I'll take it." Kou Chen sniffed.
Just as he was about to speak, the secret between him and Huo Ran suddenly exploded majestically.
Snapped!
…
Kou Chen was so frightened that he didn't have time to jump aside, and looked at Huo Ran's face suddenly appearing in front of him in shock.
The few people next to him also froze.
"Huh?" Huo Ran was also shocked, and after a few seconds of stunned he took a big step back, "Damn me?"
"Is this a fucking part of the surprise?" Kou Chen's tears were blown back, looking at him.
"... Do you have a deep memory?" Huo Ran asked carefully.
"Profound." Kou Chen said.
"Oh," Huo Ran walked back, held his face, and said solemnly, "That's a surprise for you from God."
