star river in my dream

The five o'clock appointment arrived as scheduled.

Jiang Xunze and Zhang Qingqing met at the door of the store, and they had endless quarrels as soon as they met.

"Yo, Miss Zhang is here too."

Jiang Xunze spoke to the opposite person in a strange tone.

"Master Jiang, you are too."

Zhang Qingqing is not to be outdone.

Jiang Xunze is Yang Cheng's childhood friend, and Zhang Qingqing is Yang Cheng's high school classmate. As his roommate, Yang Cheng usually eats, attends classes, and sleeps with Zhang Qingqing.

At that time, Jiang Xunze couldn't accept how Yang Cheng could ignore himself?Obviously, I was the one who had been with her for such a long time, how could my life be disrupted by Zhang Qingqing who suddenly stepped in.

The two dislike each other, of course it only manifests itself in bickering.

Yang Cheng also asked, what a beautiful girl and handsome boy you see, why can't they make a couple?

Zhang Qingqing said, "Jiang Xunze is a bitch, I don't like it." '

Jiang Xunze also said that Zhang Qingqing is not his favorite type.

Okay, okay, it's not easy to be a matchmaker!

Yang Cheng was sitting by the window, carefully studying the freshly made chocolate Oreo cupcake: Oreo biscuit crumbs, chocolate beans and raisins were mixed as the base, and a mini Oreo was inserted in a layer of cream on top.And you're done.

"But that's it" Yang Cheng thought to himself.

Jiang Xunze and Zhang Qingqing stared at each other, one sitting opposite and the other sitting on Yang Cheng's right.

"Good afternoon, Chengcheng."

Jiang and Zhang said in a tacit understanding.

"You guys have a tacit understanding." Yang Cheng joked.

Zhang Qingqing didn't have any tacit understanding with Jiang Xunze, she rolled her eyes and looked at the cupcakes on the table.

"Did you do this?"

Yang Cheng nodded, looked at Zhang Qingqing proudly, and seemed to say, "How about it, I'm good!" '

Jiang Xunze pointed to the cupcakes on the table.

"Can you eat this cake?"

Although the selling price is a little bit rough, but the taste is still very good.

Yang Cheng was very unconvinced, he frowned and questioned the two of them.

"What? Do you have an opinion?"

"No." Jiang Xunze glanced at Zhang Qingqing.

Zhang Qingqing was also very cooperative and praised her too.

Jiang Xunze picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He opened his eyes wide, as if eating something delicious, and gave a thumbs up to show his approval.Picked up another piece and stuffed it into Zhang Qingqing's mouth.

"delicious!"

Looking at the extremely sincere eyes of the two, Yang Cheng was full of pride.

Suddenly remembered, the intention of asking the two to come.

"I've already made an appointment with the store manager. Since their store supports self-made, I thought we'd make a cake together. Come with me to Uncle Zhang's house for his birthday in the afternoon."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Zhang Qingqing and Jiang Xunze made eye contact, and then refused.

"Don't worry, you have met several times, why are you afraid of embarrassment?"

"OK then."

Afterwards, the three of them divided the work and started making birthday cakes.

This is a two-layer cake with bright yellow edges and green sides, with cherries, cantaloupe, apples, oranges, and pears on the top layer.In the middle of the two-layer cake is a Chinese character for longevity, implying wishing for a long life.

After packing the cake, it was already 07:30. After Yang Cheng greeted the store manager, he brought Jiang Xunze and Zhang Qingqing to Taoyuan Community.

The three came downstairs at No. 8, Yang Cheng was holding a cake, Zhang Qingqing was holding a gift, and Jiang Xunze was empty-handed.

"Hey, Jiang Xunze, I'm afraid it's not good for you to treat Qingqing like this."

Facing Yang Cheng's accusation, Jiang Xunze was also very sensible and helped Zhang Qingqing carry things.

"Come on, Miss Zhang, don't tire you out, I'll help you carry it."

Yang Cheng looked at it and thought, 'This is more or less the same. '

"I've already called Uncle Zhang. His son and daughter left an hour ago. It's just right for us to go now."

While speaking, the three of them had arrived at the door, and when they rang the doorbell, Uncle Zhang greeted them with a smile on his face.

Before the three of Yang Cheng opened their mouths to speak, Uncle Zhang warmly welcomed the three of them first.

"Cheng girl is here, come in quickly."

"Hello, Uncle Zhang!"　
Zhang Qingqing smiled.

"This girl is the Zhang Qingqing you often mention, she is very beautiful. What is this young man's name Jiang, what is Jiang?"

"Uncle Zhang, you don't have to remember his name."

Yang Cheng was joking.

"Master, my name is Jiang Xunze, and I am Yang Cheng's younger brother."

Jiang Xunze was not as reckless and aggressive as before, but said to Uncle Zhang in a gentle manner.It's all about making a good impression.

"Oh, yes. Jiang Xunze, you look very smart and capable. Not bad!"

Uncle Zhang suddenly remembered, patted himself on the head, saw that the three of them were carrying things in their hands, and quickly took them.

"You seem to come here, what else do you bring?"

Saying that, he took the things and arranged for the three of them to come to the living room.

"Come, drink tea and drink tea."

Yang Cheng quickly took the tea he handed over to thank him.

"Master, you don't have to be polite. I have been renting here for more than half a year. You have always taken good care of me. Today is your birthday, and I am here to express my gratitude to you."

"See what you're talking about, just come here, don't bring anything with you in the future, the uncle doesn't lack anything."

"This is also my wish, I hope you will accept it."

Uncle Zhang looked at the sensible girl in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I also see that it's not easy for you as a girl to travel abroad. It's what I, an elder, should do to help you. You don't have to be grateful to me."

Hearing what Uncle Zhang said, my eyes were a little moist, and I pointed to something that was put aside.

"This is the cake the three of us made for you. I heard that your neck is not good, so I bought you a massage one. My son and daughter are not around, so you should take good care of your body at ordinary times."

After speaking, he disassembled the massager and placed it on the uncle's neck.

Seeing Yang Cheng's incomparable sincerity, Uncle Zhang was also moved.

"This son and daughter are not around, so I am really lonely. Fortunately, Dabao is with me. Sometimes when I want to talk to someone, Dabao can still listen to me."

As he said that, Uncle Zhang seemed to have returned to the time when his wife was still there and his son and daughter were young.Seeing that Uncle Zhang looked a little sad, Yang Cheng began to liven up the atmosphere.

"Don't keep thinking about the past, we have to look forward, you see we usually play cards, play mahjong, chat with our neighbors, how happy you are."

"That's right, the old man Ma downstairs, his daughter came back after a divorce, and the son-in-law disagreed with the divorce, so he brought the whole family to apologize, that's good."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhang also likes to listen to gossip.All three couldn't help laughing.

Uncle Zhang looked at his watch again, only then remembered that he had already prepared the meal.

"Look, it's 08:30 here. I heard that you're coming. I've already prepared a meal. Come here, come and eat quickly. Are you good at cooking? You can eat together while you're alive."

The three of them walked to the restaurant, looked at the table full of food, and couldn't help admiring, "Uncle Zhang, your cooking skills are really good. There are quite a lot of tricks you cook."

"Overrated overrated."

Uncle Zhang is also modest.

After drinking and eating, the three chatted with Uncle Zhang and left.

When they came downstairs, Jiang Xunze proposed to go to the bar for a drink, and Zhang Qingqing left first because she had something to do.

"Jiang Xunze, why do you think it's so difficult for people?"

After drinking for three rounds, Yang Cheng held up the glass, looked at the light refracted by the glass, his eyes were sad.

"It's so difficult, isn't it all here?"

Taking a sip of strong wine into his throat, Jiang Xunze answered calmly.

"Tell me, Mr. Zhang, his wife has passed away for three years, his son and daughter are away from home, and they only come here once during the holidays. He has no one to accompany him. How lonely he must be."

After all, drink too much.Jiang Xunze realized that something was wrong with Yang Cheng, he woke up and looked at the person in front of him.

"Chengcheng, you?"

"I'm fine! What can I do?"

Yang Cheng's drunken eyes were hazy, he vetoed it, and patted Jiang Xunze's shoulder with one hand and smirked.

"you're drunk."

Jiang Xunze looked at her solemnly.

"I'm not drunk, I can still drink."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine next to him.

Seeing that Yang Cheng opened another bottle of wine, Jiang Xunze snatched it away. Yang Cheng used his strength to lie on the bar counter without making a sound.

Jiang Xunze stared blankly for a minute, and found that Yang Cheng was crying, and felt pity in his heart.Putting Yang Cheng's head on his shoulder, he patted her on the back while comforting her.

"Jiang Xunze, I...I want to go home." Yang Cheng lay on his shoulder, her vision was blurred by tears, her consciousness was blurred, and she could only hear herself saying these words.

"Hey, I'll take you home, don't be sad."

In this way, Jiang Xunze brought Yang Cheng behind his back to 503, 5th Floor, Building [-], Taoyuan Community, and knocked on the door. About [-] minutes later, Li Xinghe came to open the door in his pajamas.

Looking at a strange man with Yang Cheng on his back, he looked at Jiang Xunze warily.

"Who are you?"

"Jiang Xunze, Yang Cheng's childhood friend."

"What's wrong with her?" Li Xinghe looked at Yang Cheng, who was being carried behind his back, who was drunk like mud, and asked.

"She's drunk, I'll send her back." Jiang Xunze came to her room with Yang Cheng on his back, lifted the quilt and put her on the bed, went into the bathroom and wiped her face with a wet towel.

When Yang Cheng became more conscious, he saw Li Xinghe leaning against the door frame.

"Li Xinghe, who let you into my room?" After saying that, he fell asleep.

This woman, even when she was drunk, did not forget the co-tenancy regulations.

Jiang Xunze quietly closed the door and said a few words to Li Xinghe.

"She drank too much wine today, and her mood is a little unstable, so I'll go first, please help me to keep an eye on her, I'm afraid she will do something stupid."

Although Li Xinghe didn't know what happened, he could only agree.

Jiang Xunze walked to the door, said goodbye and left.Suddenly remembered that the most important sentence hadn't been said yet.

"You! Don't take the opportunity to touch her!"

"it is good."

Li Xinghe laughed at his remarks, but nodded in agreement.Only then did Jiang Xunze leave steadily.

Li Xinghe quietly opened the door, saw Yang Cheng sleeping soundly, and was about to go back to his room.He heard Yang Cheng sobbing and saying something from time to time.

'She seems to be having a nightmare' Li Xinghe thought to himself.
