Life is more than just living

Chen Xu's original intention was to accompany Liu Jingsheng to finish the cake and then go back to the library to study. But seeing Meng Xiangyu come out in a mess, Chen Xu suddenly didn't want to go back to school right away, because Meng Xiangyu would blame himself for all the trouble he suffered from Liu Jingsheng. Come on, there is another encounter, and Chen Xu is really not willing to face it.

Liu Jingsheng said to Chen Xu: "Chen Xu, you said there are no classes today, can you go play with me?" Chen Xu looked at him and said, "Where do you want to go?" He was a young man in his 20s. Those are just e-sports games or something, and I'm not interested in them either. Unexpectedly, Liu Jingsheng said something shocking, "I want to go to the amusement park."

Chen Xu was a little surprised, no, very surprised. She thought for a moment and said, "Okay." Liu Jingsheng drove the car and the two of them came to a large amusement park in the city. After several years of schooling, many students from other places were there. I have been here before, but Chen Xu has not been here because she was busy working and really didn't have time.

Today is not a weekend or a holiday, so there are not many people in the playground. Liu Jingsheng pulled her to the carousel and said, "Do you want to sit on this?" Chen Xu nodded. When he was a child, there was a simple carousel in the county playground. Many children had ridden on it, and he wanted to sit on it too. , Zhou Fenglan said at that time that when Chen Xu celebrated his birthday, he would take her to sit on it. Unfortunately, he did not wait until his birthday, and his family suffered a change, so the promise about riding the merry-go-round became an empty promise for more than [-] years. Liu Jingsheng went to buy a ticket, and the two of them sat on it. The music was playing, which was very suitable for the occasion. The music played was "Auld Lang Syne". When the music stopped, the two people looked at each other with tears in their eyes. Those old times were familiar to each other. All my shortcomings have been made up for at this moment.

Liu Jingsheng took Chen Xu to ride the Ferris wheel again. The two sat across from each other. Liu Jingsheng looked outside and said lightly: "Chen Xu, do you know? I am afraid of heights!" Chen Xu suddenly looked at him in surprise. Liu Jingsheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid now. I went to the amusement park when I was a child and wanted to ride on the merry-go-round. My grandfather and father said that it was for girls. I guess it was because there were more little girls queuing that day, and adults didn't Be willing to wait! My father asked me to ride the Ferris wheel, but I didn’t want to. My father said he could hold me and sit on it, but I refused. I thought at that time that when I have a friend, I must ride the Ferris wheel with him. It’s friendly. It turns out that power can really make me forget fear." Chen Xu burst into tears again.

When the car rose to the highest point, Liu Jingsheng and Chen Xu looked at the ground together. The scenery on the ground became smaller but their field of vision broadened. Slowly, the car began to descend slowly. Chen Xu looked at Liu Jingsheng seriously, "Liu Jingsheng, thank you for being my friend." Liu Jingsheng's eyes were moist, "Why are you stealing my lines?" The two of them were like children at the playground. We played all the items that adults can play.

As soon as he got into the car at the parking lot, Liu Jingsheng received a call from his mother, "Mom! Yes, it doesn't count as beating her, just putting the cake on her head. She deserves it! I came over today to find Chen Xu and eat cake with me. That crazy woman came over and scolded both of us. She called us two bitches, and she also called me a sissy. I was still too shameless at the time, so I should have whipped her instead of depriving her of the cake. It was a pity that it was my birthday cake. When she heard this, Han Hui was also very angry, "She actually cursed like this? She is still a doctoral student! Does she have any qualities? Okay, I understand. You and Chen Xu can have fun, I will handle it here."

Han Hui gasped, "Meng Xiangyu, this kid is so unreasonable, he actually dared to complain first." Han Hui pressed the intercom, and the secretary came in. Han Hui ordered, "Meng Xiangyu will double the money and clean her hair." , face washing and skin care, it’s such a waste of time, no, triple charge.” The secretary quickly agreed and started to make arrangements. Han Hui picked up her bag and went out. Meng Xiangyu's mother, Li Lanfeng, was also a regular customer of this store. She didn't expect her daughter to be so virtuous. It’s okay not to do their business.

Chen Xu felt a little uneasy when he heard Liu Jingsheng's call. Is this causing trouble for Aunt Han? Liu Jingsheng put down the phone and said, "Meng Xiangyu, this paper tiger, went to my mother to file a complaint, and even asked people from the beauty salon to help her clean up. My mother runs a beauty salon, not a bathhouse, so what does she use our house for? But don't worry, I Mom didn't scold me but asked me what was going on. With my mother's character, if she knew Meng Xiangyu called me a sissy, she would definitely kill Meng Xiangyu and charge her more for her service." Chen Xu looked at Liu Jingsheng in surprise and said You can do this. Liu Jingsheng nodded firmly. Chen Xu felt more relieved now. Unexpectedly, Meng Xiangyu would go all the way to Liu Jingsheng's mother to file a complaint. It was like a déjà vu of kindergarten children fighting.

Liu Jingsheng looked at the time and said to Chen Xu: "Let's go to dinner! What do you want to eat?" Chen Xu thought for a while, "Today is your birthday, what do you want to eat?" Liu Jingsheng scratched his head, "I don't want to eat anything in particular. Anything is fine as long as I eat it with you."

Chen Xu's head suddenly became hot, "Have you eaten longevity noodles today?" Liu Jingsheng shook his head, "No, our family's rule is that the elderly will not celebrate the birthdays of the younger ones." Chen Xu thought for a while, "Then let's find a day. Let's rent a house and I'll make you a bowl of noodles. But my cooking skills are average." Liu Jingsheng was happy, "Really? That's great. Let's go, don't go to the daily rental house, come to my place, but we have to go there first Buy something, I don’t have anything in the kitchen." Chen Xu went to the mall with Liu Jingsheng. When he saw what Liu Jingsheng bought, Chen Xu felt that he was hasty and it would cause too much trouble for Liu Jingsheng. Liu Jingsheng was now purchasing cutting boards, knives, noodle pots, dishes, spoons and spatulas, and Chen Xu took him to buy a one kilogram bag of flour. A few small rapeseeds, a box of prawns, and a few eggs. Just as I was about to leave, I remembered that there was no cooking oil, salt or soy sauce. When everything was ready, Chen Xu took a look and decided to add a few more dishes, otherwise he would be sorry for the new kitchen utensils.

The two of them arrived at Liu Jingsheng's house carrying large and small bags. Chen Xu felt a little silly when he entered because it was too big. Chen Xu asked, "Why is this house so big?" Liu Jingsheng said casually: "When it was sold, it said it was a large flat floor. It was just a gimmick. It is actually a large apartment. I am a little afraid of loneliness and don't like living in a villa. Looking out at night Look, you can see the lights of thousands of houses." Chen Xu quickly cleaned the stove and prepared to cook. Liu Jingsheng was by his side. Chen Xu saw that it was getting late, so he made some noodles and arranged some side dishes.

Liu Jingsheng followed closely, waiting for the dishes to be served. Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, "Liu Jingsheng, I don't know how to cook many dishes, and here is cooked food. I will do this for your birthday today, and I will cook it for you when I have the opportunity." Birthday.”

Liu Jingsheng looked at the four dishes on the table. The beef with soy sauce was bought ready-made. Chen Xu cut it and put it on the plate. Chen Xu also made steamed sea bass, salted prawns and a plate of meat slices fried with bamboo shoot tips and carrots. There is also a large bowl of hand-made noodles with a few small green rapeseeds and two round hard-boiled eggs. Liu Jingsheng and Chen Xu sat down, and Chen Xu picked up the water glass in his hand, "Liu Jingsheng, happy birthday, happy forever. Again, I'm glad to have you as a friend." Liu Jingsheng also raised his glass, "Today is my 26th birthday, and I celebrated it too. The first truly meaningful birthday, thank you for having you in my life. I hope you will be happy every day in the future, cheers!" The two of them finished the meal quickly, and the portion was just right. Chen Xu helped clean up the kitchen, while Liu Jingsheng helped.

The two of them were sitting by the window looking at the scenery outside. Chen Xu was a little curious, "Liu Jingsheng, you are so good-looking and have a good family background, how come you don't have any friends?" Liu Jingsheng sighed, "I don't understand either. My aunt was my favorite when I was in kindergarten. He pinched my face, and the children also touched my face, which annoyed me, and later I refused to touch it. After I went to elementary school, boys didn’t play with me, but girls liked me, but the male classmates always made fun of me. I also accepted it, thinking that as long as someone sincerely makes good friends with me, it will be fine. When I was in fifth grade, my birthday happened to be on a Saturday. I told my female classmate at the same table a day in advance that it was my birthday tomorrow. Have you ever been together with me? She agreed, and we made an appointment to go to the amusement park today. We agreed to eat cake, ride the merry-go-round, and ride the Ferris wheel together. That day I put on my best clothes and broke I took out all my New Year's money from the piggy bank. But I held a small cake and waited for the girl named Li Sisi at the entrance of the playground for more than three hours. She didn't come. It was very cold that day, and my hands were frozen. , I didn’t dare to leave, for fear that she wouldn’t be able to see me when she came. Then I started to think wildly, would she have been in a car accident? I carefully placed the cake on the ground, and then called her home. She answered the phone, and I asked When did she come? She said it was too cold outside and her grandma wouldn't let her go out. She just explained the reasons without any apology for breaking the appointment. I cried on the way back that day. I don't know whether it was because of the cold or because of disappointment. From now on, I will never go out again. I didn’t dare to hope for friendship. Until I met you.”

Chen Xu didn't know what happened today, and his tears were very low. He cried again as he listened, "Liu Jingsheng, love yourself well from now on. People can't be too affectionate, otherwise they will be easily hurt." Liu Jingsheng wiped Chen Xu's tears with his fingertips, " Having you as a friend is enough. Sometimes I sit by the window and look down, and I think, how lonely it is to come to this world alone! Now that I have you, not only are you my good friend, And that guy Han Yidao will also give me a surprise next, he will not be willing to let you be my good friend!" Chen Xu smiled, "I think you two are too naive to compete." Liu Jingsheng laughed sincerely "I guess he will try his best to be nice to me, prove that he is my good friend, and let you take a back seat." Chen Xu laughed, "I'm looking forward to his performance. By the way, I've always wanted to ask you , why did you agree to Yidao’s mother to chase me?”

Liu Jingsheng was a little embarrassed, "One time I went to a beauty salon to deliver something to my mother, and I happened to run into Aunt Li. She kept chasing me behind me, begging me. She said that you are both scheming, money-worshipping, and nymphomaniac." If I can succeed immediately, I just want to help that guy Han Yidao once! Because everyone knows that he was tricked by Zhang Li when he was in high school. He is obviously not Zhang Li's boyfriend. As a result, Zhang Li himself promoted it everywhere, and he also I'm so stupid, I'm sorry to expose him. I hate iron, so I thought he was soft-hearted again, but..."

Chen Xu smiled maliciously, "Hey, why do I think you two are true love?" Liu Jingsheng rubbed her hair, "What nonsense are you talking about!" It was getting late, and Liu Jingsheng was about to send Chen Xu back. At school, Chen Xu said, "Send me to my grandma's house! It's the weekend tomorrow, so I'll stay there tonight."
