Ye Cheng spent a long time downstairs in the cold wind before going upstairs to the ward.
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't play games this time, and obediently did her homework on the small table.
Seeing him coming, he put down his pen and called "Brother".
Ye Cheng said to her: "If someone takes you to play a game, just take a mouthful of Brother Xiao, anyone can kidnap you."
Ye Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and said, "I called him Brother Xiao because I saw that you two are on good terms."
"How do you know that we have a good relationship?"
Ye Qiaoqiao was dumbfounded, she couldn't say, I think you treat him differently than you treat Huang Shengan.
"From now on, you are not allowed to play games behind my back. After finishing the homework, I will guide you to score higher points." Ye Cheng said lightly.
Ye Qiaoqiao was a blessing in disguise, she was so happy that she almost jumped up: "Brother, will you take me to fight? Really?"
"The premise is that the correct rate of your homework is more than 80%." Ye Cheng emphasized.
"Then I must write well!" Ye Qiaoqiao clenched her fists and said, "Even though brother Xiao is very strong, I think brother is stronger than him."
Ye Cheng said jokingly: "He has to finish his homework before he can play, you two are children."
Ye Qiaoqiao tilted her head: "You're a child too, you haven't turned eighteen yet."
When Ye Cheng heard this number, she felt a little dazed unconsciously.
Eighteen years old... What a distant vocabulary, he coughed twice, and said uncomfortably: "It will be full in five days."
In his eyes, Lu Xiao, like Ye Qiaoqiao, is a brat.
But there is something different, because every now and then, he can't stop falling in love with this "little kid".
The steelyard in his heart was swinging back and forth, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Brother, do you have any special gifts?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked him.
She is a competent little intelligence agent, and she has not forgotten Lu Xiao's entrustment to her.
"No, don't waste your time thinking about it." Ye Cheng glanced at her.
Ye Qiaoqiao timidly raised her hand and said, "Then can you accompany me to the playground for a day?"
Ye Cheng gave her a whole smile: "It's my birthday, playing with you?"
Ye Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, it was Lu Xiao who told her to take Ye Cheng to the playground.
But it seems that Ye Cheng doesn't want to pay attention to her.
"Don't go, take your online class well." Ye Cheng made a final decision.
Ye Qiaoqiao signed up for an online tutoring class and had to clock in to study every day.
She had to lower her head, sighed and said, "Okay."
After Ye Cheng checked her homework, she went back to her home.
As soon as he left, Ye Qiaoqiao took out the phone hidden under the pillow and sent a message to the black-faced monster who had just been added to WeChat.
[Brother Xiao, my brother said he didn't want to go to the playground, what's wrong with that?]
He didn't return to her for a long time, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Ye Qiaoqiao was bored waiting, so she held her mobile phone and watched Qu Tian's costume drama, wondering when she would come back.
She couldn't help but send a message to Ye Gaoyang again. Although Ye Cheng said that he was very busy recently and asked herself not to disturb him, she still missed Ye Gaoyang very much.
None of the three paid any attention to her, and in the end she had no choice but to send a message to Ye Cheng in boredom: [Brother, are you home yet?]
Ye Cheng paid attention to her, and replied quickly: [Are you playing with your phone?]
Ye Qiaoqiao acted like an idiot, only then did she realize that she had made a fool, and hurriedly typed to explain.
Another message was sent over there: [Turn off the phone and go to sleep immediately, otherwise I won't be able to pass tomorrow.]
His deterrence to Ye Qiaoqiao was increasing day by day, and she was too frightened to even reply to the news.
Turn off the phone directly, stuff the phone under the pillow, lie down with eyes closed, and my little heart is pounding.
Lu Xiao didn't see the news until she got home.
He called Ye Qiaoqiao, and it showed that the phone was turned off.
He thought about it and decided to tell Ye Cheng himself.
Suspect X: [I'm home.]
Ye Cheng asked him to talk to himself when he got home, and he sent a message.
Restrain it: [Auntie, how are you?]
Suspect X: [Don't worry, it's stable]
Suspect X: [Are you still in the hospital?]
Restrain it: [I am having dinner with my aunts and grandmas.]
Suspect X: [[Scared]]
Suspect X: [[Scared]]
Suspect X: [[Scared]]
Suspect X: [[Scared]]
Suspect X: [[Scared]]
Suspect X: [[Scared]]
Restraint: [Are you going to die, brush so many posts.]
Suspect X: [I'm sorry, the deep-seated fear...]
Suspect X: [When will they leave?]
Restrain it: [Three days later [cold sweat.jpg]]
Suspect X: [Are you free these few days?]
Restrain it: [Why?]
Suspect X: [Jiang Jin said that he wants to organize Valentine's Day team building, please let us go to Happy Valley to play.]
Restrain it: [?]
Restrain it: [He got out of the order?]
Lu Xiao organized his language and sent a voice message.
"He's been chasing Jiang Yirong recently, and he wants us to go cover together."
After a while, Ye Cheng also sent him a voice message: "That's fine."
There was a lot of noise on his side, but his clear voice overwhelmed the noise, and his tone was a bit lazy.
His voice-changing period has completely ended, and his voice is almost the same as when he was an adult.
It was a little less green and dumb, and a little more low-key and calm.
Lu Xiao listened to this voice over and over several times, and then couldn't help but click on favorites.
He licked his lips and sent another message: "I watched a foreign movie recently, you should like it."
Ye Cheng was probably bored after eating, so he quickly replied: "Send it to see."
Lu Xiao sent him the link to the film, and after seeing him say "I've watched it", the corners of her mouth slowly raised.
During this period of time, he always wanted to share various things with Ye Cheng, big and small, good and bad.
Even walking on the road of Qingshan Manor and seeing a little squirrel passing by in the woods, his first reaction was to take a photo and send it to him.
What made him most happy was that Ye Cheng also responded to everything he had done.
When I see a little squirrel, I will praise how cute it is; when I see a purple-black fruit, I will say it is poisonous; when I see a movie he shares, I will watch it right away;
Does this mean that Ye Cheng actually likes his sharing
Rubbing the corner of her mouth with her index finger, Lu Xiao made a plan for five days in her head.
Then send a message to Jiang Jin.
Suspect X: [Lao Jiang, do me a favor.]
This title made Jiang Jin have to reply in seconds: [Brother Xiao, I'm scared when you call me like that... What's wrong?]
Lu Xiao broke the boat and said: [On Valentine's Day, can you pretend to be a couple with Jiang Yirong for a day?]
Jiang Jin: [? ? ? ? ? ?]
Early in the morning on Valentine's Day, Jiang Jin was woken up by Lu Xiao's phone call.
Jiang Jin returned to the Quuen coffee shop like a dream, and said with a bitter face: "Brother Xiao, didn't we have an appointment for the afternoon?"
Lu Xiao said, "Just to confirm the arrangement with you, is it really all right?"
He was busy looking for someone to order gifts, so he didn't go to Happy Valley yesterday.
"If there's a mistake, I'll twist my head off and kick it for you." Jiang Jin yawned, "It's our coming-of-age ceremony for brother Cheng, how could something go wrong."
Lu Xiao was still worried: "Have you told the staff of the haunted house, don't dress up too scary, I'm worried that he will be scared."
"No, no, he just pretended to be an ordinary vampire." Jiang Jin said, "The cake and bouquet are all ready, the fountain and passers-by are also arranged, and there is a small enclosed space for surprises."
He and Lu Xiao were responsible for half of these, and communicated with the staff of Happy Valley yesterday.
It was Lu Xiao's first time preparing such a large-scale surprise, and she was afraid of messing it up.
Jiang Jin said: "After eating the cake, Rong Rong and I took the little leaves away and put the flowers in a small confined space."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, I still have to act with Jiang Yirong." Lu Xiao said.
Jiang Jin faltered and said: "Actually... it's not acting."
"Oh? Are you really together?" Lu Xiao laughed.
Jiang Jin said: "Hey, not yet, but I think it will be soon."
In the afternoon, there was a long queue at the gate of Happy Valley.
Today happened to be the weekend, and many couples bought tickets for the night show.
Ye Cheng wrapped Ye Qiaoqiao up like a zongzi, and led her out of the hospital.
Jiang Yirong happened to pass by here, so she asked the driver to stop at the hospital gate and wait for them.
Today she put on a dark style of makeup, wearing a black lace skirt and boots, frightened Ye Qiaoqiao and shrank behind Ye Cheng.
"This is your sister?" Jiang Yirong asked with a lollipop in her mouth.
Before Ye Cheng could speak, she pulled the little girl out from behind him and said, "Call my sister, otherwise I won't take you."
"...Sister." Ye Qiaoqiao was a bully, so she could only murmur.
Jiang Yirong smiled and said to Ye Cheng: "It doesn't look like you, but it's cute."
Ye Qiaoqiao stared at her, not daring to speak out.
Ye Cheng changed the subject calmly and said, "How are you doing in the new school?"
"That's it, private schools are so boring, you have to live on campus." Jiang Yirong complained.
Ye Cheng noticed that she was wearing a badge on her chest, which was the nameplate of No. 13 Middle School.
"You've changed schools, and you're still so nostalgic," he said.
Jiang Yirong followed his gaze, her eyes flickered: "Look carefully."
She leaned over slightly, Ye Cheng saw clearly this time, the word "Jiang Jin" was written on the sign.
"Is this Jiang Jin's nameplate?" He was a little puzzled, "What are you doing with his nameplate?"
Jiang Yirong laughed, with a dimple on her cheek: "You don't even know this, it's a good thing you've been in No. 13 Middle School for a semester."
Ye Cheng was puzzled, but she only heard her whispering: "According to the custom of Thirteen High School, if you have a crush on someone, you should give your nameplate to him. If the person who confesses to you agrees, you should wear the nameplate he gave you. "
—What a naive "custom".
Ye Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "So you and Jiang Jin?"
Jiang Yirong shrugged and said in a helpless tone, "My parents won't let me fall in love, so we can only confirm our relationship after college."
"You won't be allowed to fall in love? Then you still chased Lu Xiao before." After Ye Cheng said this, she realized that she also had a little bit of love to turn over old scores.
Jiang Yirong looked at him sharply and said, "Do you seem to care that I chased Lu Xiao?"
"Is there, your illusion." Ye Cheng said indifferently.
Jiang Yirong explained: "I chased him just to tell him that I like him, and I didn't intend to be with him."
Ye Cheng was overwhelmed by her logic, and couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.
Ye Qiaoqiao sat aside, looking at them curiously.
"Children are not allowed to eavesdrop." Jiang Yirong raised her index finger to warn her, and she immediately lowered her head.
When they arrived at Happy Valley, Lu Xiao and Jiang Jin were already queuing up.
Everyone scanned the QR code one by one to enter the arena, surrounded by groups of couples, and some people took selfie sticks to broadcast live.
Jiang Jin first asked everyone to play a few ordinary games, which were not very exciting.
Jiang Yirong took Ye Qiaoqiao to put on makeup at a roadside stall, and after finishing putting on makeup, she suggested, "Would you like to go to the haunted house? I heard that there is a new copy of "Twilight Saga."
"No." Ye Cheng resolutely refused, "You guys go, Ye Qiaoqiao and I are waiting outside."
Ye Qiaoqiao put on a small face and hummed, "I want to go too, brother."
"Then you go." He said.
Ye Cheng didn't want to set foot in any haunted house, not even a movie copy.
Ye Qiaoqiao said, "If you don't go, I won't either. I want to eat grilled sausage."
Ye Cheng took her to the front to buy grilled sausages.
As soon as they left, Lu Xiao immediately made a gesture to beat up Jiang Jin: "As long as you have too many fucking things, I told him that it is impossible for him to enter the haunted house. You let that vampire take out the cake."
"Didn't I want to give you a chance to show yourself?" Jiang Jin said with a sad face, "If you just show it to him like this, wouldn't the surprise be in vain?"
Jiang Yirong suggested: "Let Ye Qiaoqiao act coquettishly?"
Lu Xiao snorted: "He will take Ye Qiaoqiao by the collar on the spot and take her back to the hospital."
"Well, why not..." Jiang Yirong looked at him and smiled maliciously, "You can try being coquettish."
Lu Xiao: "..."
After Ye Cheng came back, he found that the faces of the three people were different, and Jiang Yirong and Jiang Jin seemed to be holding back their laughter.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Lu Xiao hesitating to speak, Ye Cheng asked him.
Lu Xiao took a deep breath, followed his example, and pinched the hem of his clothes with two fingers.
Put a soft voice: "I want to go to the haunted house, can you accompany me?"
The boy's voice was low and hoarse, with a tone of submissiveness, as if scratching his heart.
Sure enough, a smile flashed across Ye Cheng's eyes.
He looked at Lu Xiao and said, "Are you begging me?"
"Please." Lu Xiao gave up and kept a little reserve.
The smile on Ye Cheng's lips gradually deepened: "But I'm also afraid, what should I do?"
Lu Xiao was at a loss for words for a while, just about to call out "Brother Cheng" a few more times disgustingly, only to hear him say again,
"But since you begged me, let's go."
After all, he took the lead in walking in the direction of the haunted house.
Lu Xiao stood there dumbfounded, and murmured: "So he agrees?"
Jiang Yirong saw everything in her eyes, shook her head and said, "Lu Xiao, you really have met a master."
"What?" Lu Xiao looked at her, she smiled and followed silently.
Jiang Yirong saw people right, and she knew it.
Jiang Jin caught up with her curiously: "What do you mean by what you just said?"
Jiang Yirong smiled sweetly: "Do you think Ye Cheng really doesn't know he's acting like a baby?"
Jiang Jin is a dead straight man, scratching his head.
She said, "Just wait and see, Lu Xiao will probably be punished to death in the future."
When Jiang Yirong thought that she almost became a rival in love with such a master, she couldn't help but sweat for herself.
After they arrived at the gate of the haunted house, Ye Cheng was still a little hesitant.
Lu Xiao was very good this time, she stood in front of him and said, "You can just follow me, this haunted house is not big, it will come out in five minutes."
According to the description of the staff, two minutes after entering, a child will come out and sing birthday songs around them.
The atmosphere inside is not scary. The handsome "Edward" will appear with a chestnut cake and light a candlestick to make Ye Cheng make a wish.
The staff said that at first he might throw himself into other people's arms because of fear.
This is also the main reason why Lu Xiao quickly agreed to the plan under their instigation.
However, things were not the same as he thought.
He wanted to reach out to hug Ye Cheng, but was pushed away.
Ye Cheng cautiously grabbed his clothes and said: "You open the way ahead, don't touch me, I hate anyone touching me in a haunted house."
Whether it is a companion or an NPC, being touched is a disaster for him.
With the curtain lowered, they walked into the haunted house together.
Ye Qiaoqiao was so courageous, she was still teasing the NPC: "Are your teeth fake?"
Jiang Yirong giggled, the surrounding scenery did not look very scary.
But there is one person who is the most nervous, and that is Ye Cheng.
He went to a haunted house a long time ago, and was scared by an NPC and punched him in the face. He also compensated for the medical expenses and apologized repeatedly.
He said seriously to the werewolf in front of him: "Don't come here, I will beat someone up, really."
The werewolf pretended to scare him, and left under Lu Xiao's gaze.
They walked forward for a while and reached the stone steps, which is where the old vampire stayed in the movie.
Suddenly there was a thin cry at the end of the stairs, which made people feel terrified.
Ye Qiaoqiao's smile also disappeared, and she and Jiang Yirong shrank behind Jiang Jin.
Among the five people, Lu Xiao stood first.
Therefore, only he can hear the voice of the front staff coaxing the children.
"Don't cry, just sing a song, and after singing, my sister will reward you."
"Wooooow, I can't remember the words..."
Lu Xiaodeng was sweating profusely. He didn't expect such an uncontrollable sudden situation.
He paused in embarrassment and said, "We...shall we rest here for a while?"
The other four looked at him at the same time, and Ye Cheng said, "You must be sick, go quickly."
He can't wait to rush to the exit now.
Also rest a hammer.
At this moment, a child in red clothes suddenly appeared in front of him.
Except for Lu Xiao, everyone was taken aback.
The kid wiped away a tear, choked up and sang, "Hey, Hi Boston, spit oil..."
Before he finished singing, the small door next to him popped open with a bang as if some signal had been opened.
The actor who played "Edward" appeared inside the door holding a small cake.
His face was painted as pale as the walls of a palace, he stared at Ye Cheng with blood-red eyes, grinned his fangs and said: "Dear guest..."
"Fuck!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Cheng yelled, and conveniently covered him with the cake.
"What, go away!"
Lu Xiao didn't expect this to happen, so she stayed where she was.
The child in red was too frightened to cry, and hiccupped.
Jiang Jin and Jiang Yirong were also dumbfounded, "Edward" looked at them innocently and blankly: "Guest?"
Ten minutes later, everyone sat around the table.
On the table was a new blue cake topped with a miniature version of a lobular orange with a tiny crown on top.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao just let the vampire take a small cake, and the real birthday cake was at the exit.
Ye Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You really put in a lot of effort, thank you."
He spoke very tactfully, and the three of them still looked at each other with a guilty conscience.
Jiang Yirong made a false alarm and said, "I almost screwed up, I thought you were going to throw the cake in someone's face."
Ye Cheng smiled awkwardly.
She smiled and said: "But I still wish you a happy birthday. Be happy every day and let your troubles go away."
Jiang Yirong took the lead, and everyone began to say blessings seriously.
"Happy birthday, brother Cheng." Jiang Jin said happily, "I wish you can be admitted to the ideal university."
"Happy birthday, brother, can I eat that blueberry?" Ye Qiao looked at the cake eagerly.
Ye Cheng took off the blueberry and stuffed it into her mouth.
Everyone looked at Lu Xiao, only he hadn't said birthday wishes yet.
Lu Xiao's Adam's apple moved up and down, and said seriously: "Ye Cheng, happy eighteenth birthday."
He paused, then continued: "I hope you will never doubt yourself, you are a person who can illuminate others, just like the sun."
The other three laughed, feeling that his metaphor was straightforward and appropriate.
Only Ye Cheng didn't smile, he remembered the scene a long time ago.
Lu Xiao and him went to Xiamen to watch the sunrise.
When the sun rose, he looked at him with a smile and said, "The luckiest thing for a person to live in this world is to find the sun that can illuminate him."
"Ah Cheng, you are my sun."
After a while, Ye Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you for your blessing."
His hands tightened in his sleeves, as if he was suppressing something.
"Make a wish." Lu Xiao said.
"Okay." Ye Cheng smiled at him.
In the gentle halo of the candle, he closed his eyes, feeling like an undercurrent of emotion.
Jiang Jin sang first: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
Ye Cheng clasped his hands and made a short wish.
After a few seconds, he opened his eyes.
"So fast?" Jiang Yirong asked in amazement, "Could it be that you wished 'I'm going to Peking University'?"
Lu Xiao looked at him steadily, her eyes were deep.
Jiang Jin said: "Brother Cheng won't make such a wish, because he will - go - okay."
Ye Cheng just smiled and blew out the candle in one breath.
"Eighteen years old, congratulations on becoming an adult!"
"Wuuuuu, I'll be eighteen in a few months."
Seeing that he was smiling all the time, Lu Xiao asked curiously, "What wish did you make?"
"Wish is something that won't work if you can't say it." Ye Cheng said softly, "I hope it will work."
Lu Xiao felt that something in his eyes seemed to have changed quietly.
Everyone laughed and ate the cake, gave some to the staff, and then walked to other equipment.
When passing the fountain, the music box played the happy birthday song. The doll on the road handed Ye Cheng a gift box, which was given by Jiang Jin. The little monkey riding a bicycle also sent a gift box, which belonged to Jiang Yirong.
With a smile, Ye Cheng stretched out her hand to Lu Xiao and said, "Where's your gift?"
