I'll Have My Seatmate Beat You

Brother Zhan's birthday is two days before Yimo.

The first round of review is over, what is the result, the exam is very important, everyone is very nervous.

Before Gu Qinan came, the trio would go out to celebrate their birthdays by having a meal outside.Because I don't study at all, even if it's not a weekend, I still go out to eat and play as usual.

But this year's situation is special, except for Lin Xiaobin, the other three are really head-scratching.It made Lin Xiaobin dare not take out his mobile phone to play games after class, and could only pretend to read books, and he made some progress.

Before anyone else mentioned it, Brother Zhan took the initiative to say that he would postpone the meal until the exam was over, and don't waste time because of his birthday.

Everyone has no opinion.

But Gu Qinan secretly discussed with Wu Yuan and Lin Xiaobin that the meal can be skipped, but the birthday cake must be eaten, and it must be eaten on the same day.

Lin Xiaobin wondered: "Why do you have to eat birthday cake?"

Gu Qinan insisted: "Of course you have to eat cake on your birthday. Eating a cake is a ritual! And the birthday gift must be given on the same day, so it's interesting."

Lin Xiaobin: "Our straight men don't eat cake on their birthdays."

Wu Yuan: "All drink."

Lin Xiaobin: "Yes."

Gu Qinan: "Didn't you buy me a cake last time?"

Lin Xiaobin: "It was bought by your good friend Brother Zhan, not our straight man."

Gu Qinan: "...I don't care, I've already ordered the cake. It will be delivered after the self-study get out of class is over that night. If you don't participate, you have to participate."

Of course Wu Yuan and Lin Xiaobin didn't dare not to participate, but they were worried about the gifts to death.

The three of them improvised a small group to discuss birthday presents.

Brother Bin rushed forward: How about the three of us chip in to buy a pair of sneakers?

3: I have already bought a gift.

Brother Bin rushed forward: I'll go!No!The three of us have never given each other gifts before. We just invite you to dinner and we're done. Why do you have so many rules, Brother Nan?

3: I want you to take care of it.

Brother Bin rushed forward: Okay, I made a mistake.

Brother Yuan will definitely do it: give me a game skin?The new hero skins look great!

Brother Bin rushed forward: I think it will work!

3: ...Brother Zhan hasn't played games for several months.

Brother Bin rushed forward: ...I choose death.

Brother Yuan will do it: me too.

The day before Brother Zhan's birthday, Gu Qinan began to doze off at eleven o'clock.He lay on the bed first, and set the alarm clock for 11:59 on his phone.I got up on time and counted down to zero, and sent Brother Zhan a happy birthday message.

Xiao Nanzai: Happy birthday!

Shake, shake: good

Shake, shake: Still asleep?

Xiao Nanzai: I set the alarm clock and woke up!Am I the first person to say happy birthday to you?

Shake, shake: yes

Shake, shake: Wu Yuan and Lin Xiaobin won't wait for midnight, and you'll be the first one tomorrow morning.

Xiao Nanzai: No, I will say it at 00:00!

Shake, shake: Well, go to sleep

Xiao Nanzai: Okay, good night.

Shake, shake: good night

When they met the next day, Gu Qinan stuffed a piece of chocolate into Zhan Ming's mouth and said with a smile, "Happy birthday."

Chocolate is very sweet.

Zhan Ming didn't know what to say, and he didn't know where to put his hands.It was only when the chocolate melted in my mouth that it was so sweet that I remembered that I had to go to class.

On this day, every time get out of class was over, Gu Qinan would stuff Zhan Ming with a piece of chocolate.

There are many flavors of chocolate, matcha, truffle, wine heart, hazelnut...

Lin Xiaobin saw it and wanted to eat it too.

Gu Qinan refused to give it to him, saying: "This is only for brother Zhan who celebrates his birthday."

Lin Xiaobin shivered: "Every day, I can't stand you being so gay."

When school was over in the afternoon, Gu Qinan said that he wanted to stay overnight.Zhan Ming didn't let him stay because he was afraid that it would affect his review.Gu Qinan was so close to acting like a spoiled child on him, he finally said "I just want to spend the whole day with you today" before Brother Zhan agreed to let him stay.

During the evening self-study, Gu Qinan was still very serious, and the group of four concentrated on their studies.Except that Lin Xiaobin sometimes couldn't sit still and twisted all over his body, like ants getting into his clothes.But he didn't dare to take out his mobile phone to play games, Brother Zhan stared, and Brother Yuan also stared.He sighed and could only continue to study.

09:30 Evening self-study is over, and Zhan Ming usually stays until 10:30 before going back.But today Gu Qinan dragged him away after class, Wu Yuan and Lin Xiaobin followed.

After leaving the school gate, the takeaway boy from the cake shop was already waiting with a cake.

Gu Qinan happily took the cake and shouted: "Happy Birthday! Just blow out the candles and eat the cake, it won't waste a lot of time!"

Zhan Ming hadn't eaten his own birthday cake for several years, seeing Gu Qinan so happy now, he couldn't say anything more.

When they arrived at the small rental house, the four of them moved out the small table and put the cake on it.

When the lid was opened, all three except Gu Qinan were stunned.

The cake is a cream cake with a simple shape. The pure white cream layer has no wrinkles at all, and it is as flat as a mirror. There is a small red heart melted on it, and the words written in dark chocolate beside it: Brother, happy birthday.

After a while, Lin Xiaobin sighed: "Xiao Nanzi, I am convinced, good friends, forever."

Zhan Ming was helpless, but he was happy in his heart.

Gu Qinan inserted a candle in the shape of "18", stood up and turned off the lights, and was the first to sing happy birthday.

Soon, Wu Yuan and Lin Xiaobin joined in, and sang the whole song happily and sparingly.

Gu Qinan strictly followed the birthday process, insisting on Zhan Ming to make a wish, blowing out the candles and cutting the cake after making the wish.

Before eating the cake, Wu Yuan gave Lin Xiaobin a gift, a pair of sneakers.Zhan Ming saw that the national brand was not particularly expensive. He knew that they wanted to help him, but he was afraid that he would not accept it.Zhan Ming just said "Thank you", and accepted it without saying anything.

Gu Qinan didn't even bother to eat the cake, and excitedly took out a gift from his schoolbag.It was even specially wrapped in wrapping paper, a standard birthday present.

The three of them surrounded Zhan Ming, watching Zhan Ming unwrap the present expectantly.

Lin Xiaobin said: "This little Nanzai said a long time ago that he has prepared a gift, let me see what kind of fairy gift it is."

Zhan Ming took out a small pure white square from the paper box.

Wu Yuan: "What is this? Power bank?"

Gu Qinan shook his head happily: "No! It's a mini printer, you only need to take a picture with your mobile phone, and after connecting it, you can print out the questions! This way you can save a lot of time in sorting out the wrong question sets!"

The three of Zhan Ming: "..."

Lin Xiaobin admired: "So this is something you've used and found it useful?"

Gu Qinan denied it: "No, I haven't used it. I have relatively few wrong questions, so I don't need it."

Lin Xiaobin and Wu Yuan burst out laughing, which stunned Gu Qinan.

Until the two of them left, Gu Qinan was still a little sullen, and repeatedly asked Zhan Ming: "Is my gift stupid? Do you not like it?"

Zhan Ming hugged him into his arms, let him sit on his lap, kissed him and told him: "I like it very much."

Gu Qinan didn't believe it.

Zhan Ming swore: "I'll use it tomorrow, really. I like everything you gave me, everything."

Gu Qinan reluctantly believed it, he felt that the gift he gave was very practical and good, why did he laugh at him?

He pulled his schoolbag over again and said, "I still have a second gift. They were here just now, so I'm sorry to take it out."

Gu Qinan took out a small, bulging bag from his schoolbag, and pulled the drawstring away. After taking it out, Zhan Ming discovered that it was a short black down jacket, which was light and thin, almost weightless.

Gu Qinan said with a smile: "This is a couple's clothes, I have the exact same one."

Zhan Ming tried it on, and it fit well.

The down jacket is very light, very suitable for the southern winter.In this weather, a jacket and a long-sleeved T-shirt are enough.

Gu Qinan really wanted to buy clothes for Brother Zhan.

He had seen brother Zhan's closet, except for two seasons and four sets of school uniforms, there were only a few pieces of clothing in it.Although there are classes every week and there are not many times when he wears regular clothes, he really wants to see brother Zhan who is not in school uniform, and wants to buy him a lot of clothes.

When he was shopping with his mother, he always thought that Brother Zhan looked good in this dress, and that one must also look good.

Finally, he ran back to the mall by himself and bought an identical down jacket.

He didn't dare to buy too much, for fear that Brother Zhan would not accept it.

He still had a lot of presents he wanted to give Brother Zhan, but he was afraid of scaring Brother Zhan, so he had to give them one by one slowly.

Brother Zhan took off the down jacket and hung it in the closet with care.

The box containing the paper roses was stored in the closet, and there were so many paper roses that it was almost full.

Gu Qinan took out today's third gift from his schoolbag, a paper rose, and put it in Brother Jin's hand.

Zhan Ming held the little paper rose and said in a low voice, "Baby, you have given me too much."

Gu Qinan leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth: "I still want to give you a lot."

Zhan Ming took out another large cardboard box from the closet and opened the lid.

Only then did Gu Qinan realize that it was Lego blocks.

Zhan Ming has not received a gift for a long time.

He was rarely given presents.

When grandma used to be around, she would buy him some small toys.When celebrating a birthday, a birthday cake is the greatest gift.The little toys were broken long ago, and I don't know where they went. Apart from the expensive box of Lego, Zhan Ming didn't leave any presents behind.

When he lived at his uncle's house, he kept Lego in a box and didn't put them together.

Because there is no place to put it.

But tonight, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to put Lego back together.

Put Lego together with his mini printer, paper rose, down jacket.
