The cake is very small, at most ten centimeters in diameter, like a larger tureen.

But it has the appearance that a cake should have, especially the small sign on it that reads - happy birthday.

Yin Xiuzhu looked at it for a long time before asking in disbelief: "I, mine?"

Qi Mu has been gluttonous for a whole day, so greedy that he couldn't even eat at noon. Now when he sees chocolate, his eyes are green: "Of course! Today is your birthday."

"How do you know?" Actually, after Qi Mu said this, he already decided that today is his birthday, even if it is not the day of birth, it is still considered the day of rebirth.

The day he was blessed was his birthday.

Qi Mu said: "The teacher in charge checked your admission information, and it's written in it."

Yin Xiuzhu's heart trembled—yes, he has a birthday, but no one wants to mention it.

Qi Mu took out the candles, lit them and said, "The cake is a bit small, I can't light that many, so can I just put three?"

Yin Xiuzhu came back to his senses: "Order four."

Qi Mu tilted his head: "Why?"

"We met when we were four years old."

Qi Mu doesn't have such a good memory: "It seems to be, middle class in kindergarten."

Yin Xiuzhu lowered his eyes and smiled: "Unfortunately, I can't remember the date." He is too young to distinguish the month from the day, but he will always remember that day and moment, the red light under the setting sun and the moment when he crashed into the sky. The smile of his soul.

"What's so memorable about this?" Qi Mu said, "Anyway, we met, and we will be friends for life from now on."

"Yeah!" Yin Xiuzhu nodded vigorously.

His nose was acidic, his eyes were clouded with mist, but the smile on his mouth was unprecedented.It was as if the joy in his heart had been concretized, as if the blood that had been warmed for six years had finally circulated throughout his body, heating him up.

Qi Mu urged him: "Come on, make a wish and blow out the candles!"

Yin Xiuzhu nodded solemnly, put his little hands together, and closed his eyes seriously.

It's his birthday.His wishing genie.

He has only one wish - to be with Qi Mu forever.

Greedy and humble, he would spend his whole life begging constantly.

Qi Mu was very curious: "What wish did you make?"

Yin Xiuzhu, who was always obedient to him, was silent at this moment: "I can't say it."

"Okay, it won't work if I say it." But Qi Mu was still curious, "Why don't you write it down?"

He is so old, of course he knows the truth that the wishing elf is Ms. Qiao, and he also wants to be Yin Xiuzhu's wishing elf, but he doesn't have Ms. Qiao's piercing eyes, so he can't see what Yin Xiuzhu wants. If he can't see through, how can he fulfill his wish Woolen cloth?

Yin Xiuzhu would never joke about this important oath: "No, it will fail."

Qi Mu: "..." Well... I can only keep my eyes open and continue to observe!Probably related to study, I always feel that Yin Xiuzhu loves study the most...

After Yin Xiuzhu removed the candle, he was reluctant to cut the cake.

Qi Mu was so greedy that he panicked: "Come and eat, I asked my dad to order an all-chocolate one, it's guaranteed to be delicious!"

Yin Xiuzhu's hand holding the knife stood still.

Qi Mu looked at him: "What's the matter?"

Yin Xiuzhu still couldn't do it, he whispered: "Can I not eat?"

Qi Mu, who had been hungry all day, opened his eyes wide: "Why don't you eat it? It's super delicious!" He was so hungry and greedy that he wanted to pounce on it and swallow it in one bite!

Yin Xiuzhu's lips moved, and his voice was so muffled that it seemed to tremble directly from his chest: "This is the first time I have received a birthday present, and I want to keep it well."

Qi Mu: "This is chocolate! Why keep it? It will melt!"

Yin Xiuzhu pursed his lips and remained silent.

Qi Mu was most afraid of him like this, he would probably drop golden beans silently like this.As soon as he dropped the golden beans, Qi Mu's heart felt as if he had been smashed by a gold ingot.

"Okay, okay." Qi Mu said, "I'll just give you another gift."

Yin Xiuzhu raised his head abruptly, how could this work, he couldn't be so greedy.

Qi Mu: "...Let me write a greeting card, this is easy to keep."

Yin Xiuzhu's eyes lit up, like a little squirrel seeing a nut, and he had no resistance: "Okay, okay."

Qi Mu said, "Wait for me!"

He slipped away to Xu Xiaoming's desk, opened it and found a stack of greeting cards—Christmas was still more than a month away, and Xu Xiaoming had already started preparations.

Qi Mu took one and came back and said, "They're all pink, don't dislike them."

Yin Xiuzhu shook his head quickly: "No way!"

Qi Mu opened the blank greeting card and muttered while writing: "Xu Xiaoming is really capable. I bought so many greeting cards. Are you going to give one to each girl in our school?"

Yin Xiuzhu didn't care about this at all, he stared at Qi Mu without blinking, at his hand holding the pen, and at the words he wrote.

——Yin Xiuzhu, I wish you a happy birthday, and hope that we will be good friends for the rest of our lives!

The signature is Qi Mu.

Qi Mu's handwriting and his face are two extremes, he has a cute and cute appearance, his big eyes are more juicy than many little girls, but his temperament is 100% bully, which is the same as this handwriting .

Using flamboyance and phoenix dance is all implicit, it is simply a storm!

Qi Mu picked up the greeting card, dried it and gave it to Yin Xiuzhu: "The writing is not good, don't be disgusted."

How could he dislike it!Yin Xiuzhu took it carefully, looked at it again and again: "That's great."

Qi Mu scratched the back of his head and said, "The greeting card is really pretty, but it's just me, like a flower picker like a hot hand."

Yin Xiuzhu didn't care what the greeting card looked like, all he saw was the words written by Qi Mu.

"I love so much."

Qi Mu quietly looked at him, feeling a little nervous: Is such a pink greeting card so pretty?Does Yin Xiuzhu like pink?How about he give him a pink schoolbag

Qi Mumu thought about the picture of Yin Xiuzhu carrying a small pink schoolbag, and shivered.

——What’s the matter with feeling a little cute!

Now the cake can be eaten, but the two still didn't use a knife, Yin Xiuzhu suggested: "Anyway, it's so big, let's eat it one by one."

Qi Mu: "Okay."

He thought that Yin Xiuzhu was trying to save trouble, but in fact Yin Xiuzhu wanted him to eat more.It's half for each person. If they eat together, Qi Mu can eat more if he eats slowly.

The days that followed were uneventful.The weather is getting colder and colder, but Comrade Xu Xiaoming is getting more and more active.

As soon as Christmas was over, he had a big "scandal".

A group of little girls came and threw greeting cards at him: "Scumbag!"

Xu Xiaoming was beaten to the ground, and kept calling for help.

Even his good brother Fang Junqi ignored him this time, who made him flirt with half of the girls in school by himself?shameless!

Xu Xiaoming was so wronged that he ran to the end and lay down on the table and yelled, "I started to cast the net early. When I enter junior high school, I will have a girlfriend! These cowards just envy me and envy me." I hate me!"

Qi Mu just fell asleep in class, and looked at him in a daze: "Why are you envious?"

Xu Xiaoming: "Maybe I'm handsome?"

Qi Mu gave him the back of his head.

Xu Xiaoming looked sad and angry: "Aren't I handsome? Am I not the grass in our class?"

Since Qi Mu took him a greeting card, he sent him a sentence: "Green dog's tail."

Xu Xiaoming started howling again.

Yin Xiuzhu, who was sitting in the front row, didn't look back, but the hand holding the pen couldn't help exerting force.

Qi Mu is like a magnet, always attracting everyone to him.Whether Xu Xiaoming or Dong Jisheng, they were both afraid of him and loved to be close to him.

Who doesn't like a combination of light and heat?This is the instinct of life.

The New Year's Day holiday, everyone packed up and went home.

Yin Xiuzhu has no interest in going home, he hates vacations, these three consecutive, dull, lifeless days.

But on New Year's Day, the Yin family was bustling like never before.

Yin Zhenggong came back and held a banquet, inviting many relatives and friends to attend.

Yin Xiuzhu's mother, Yu Daiyun, the hostess, still didn't show up. She stayed in her own room, as if she was on an isolated island, so silent that she seemed to be the only one in the world.

It was rare for Yin Zhenggong to be kind to Yin Xiuzhu.Because he came back, the nanny also treated Yin Xiuzhu much better, brought him a neat little dress, and helped him dress neatly.

If it was six years ago, Yin Xiuzhu would probably have been flattered, but now he only felt the cold wind passing through his chest, which made his internal organs numb and hard.

After finishing the superficial work, Yin Xiuzhu hid.

He didn't like the bright hall, he didn't like the fake smiles on the faces of strangers, and he didn't like every word that the man named father said.

He didn't go back to the house, but sat in a small corner of the garden in the cold wind.

On January [-]st, the weather was so cold that people chattered their teeth.

Yin Xiuzhu was wearing thin clothes, but he didn't feel cold because he was holding a pink card in his hand.

There is a sentence written by Qi Mu to him.

--friends forever.

Staring at these five words, he has endless power.

He watched so engrossed that he didn't even notice anyone approaching.

"What is this?" The young man's slow voice sounded, and then he stretched out his hand and snatched the card from Yin Xiuzhu's hand.

Yin Xiuzhu's mind went blank for a second, and he stood up abruptly.

Standing in front of him was a junior high school student. He was wearing a formal dress with a light blue flower pinned to his chest. The silk flower looked real, elegant and unique.The boy's hair was neatly combed back, revealing a smooth forehead, but the pair of eyes under the thin eyebrows were narrow and sharp, full of malice.

He is a child of Yin Xiuzhu's aunt's family, his cousin Wang Zhuo.

"Greeting card?" Wang Zhuo smiled lightly, "Does anyone know your birthday?"

Yin Xiuzhu's face turned pale: "Give it back to me."

"Angry? It's scary, you won't bite like your mother!"

Yin Xiuzhu clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged: "Give it back to me."

Wang Zhuo sneered, and his voice changed hoarsely: "Give it back to you? All right, go and get it!" He threw the greeting card into a fountain not far away.

"No! Don't!" Yin Xiuzhu rushed forward recklessly, his whole body fell on the bluestone brick, but he couldn't touch the greeting card that fell into the water after an arc.

As if hit by a heavy hammer, Yin Xiuzhu almost lost the ability to think.

Wang Zhuo's voice fluctuated from far to near: "A broken greeting card is worth it, what a fool." After saying that, he turned and left.

Yin Xiuzhu was trembling all over, and his brain was buzzing, he couldn't hear any sound, couldn't see anything clearly, only the little card Qi Mu gave him was in his mind.

It's in the water, in this pool, and he's going to get it out.

In the night of minus four or five degrees, the young man who had a deep fear of water staggered to his feet.

He was going to take it out, it was the best and only gift he had ever received in this life.

Yin Xiuzhu didn't know how he stepped into the water, didn't know how he moved his steps, all he saw was the continuously rising water, not reaching his calf, not passing his waist, not passing his chest cavity, and finally blocked his mouth and nose.

"Why did you have to be born, you bastard, why did you have to be born!"

The woman's hoarse voice rang in his ears, shaking his heart and soul.

Not only did she not expect him, she even wanted to kill him.

Being resented by his mother, what a humble life he is.

——My name is Qi Mu, what's your name?

The immature voice resounded in his heart, like a raging fire, stubbornly suppressing all the coldness.

Yin Xiuzhu opened his eyes, holding the small card with trembling pale hands.

It was soaked out of shape, and the words on it were blurred.

Yin Xiuzhu put it on his heart carefully as if he had found a lost treasure.

The water in the fountain was not deep, it just reached his thighs, but the spring water from top to bottom completely drenched his whole body.

He stood in the icy water, as if he was bound by the ghost claws of the endless hell.

He stood in a state of embarrassment, so weak that he couldn't even protect such a small thing in front of his chest.

Too weak, he is too weak.

He couldn't even protect the card Qi Mu gave him well, so what right did he have to covet to be with Qi Mu?

He doesn't deserve to stand by his side at all!

The author has something to say: Cough cough... Forever friends, it’s okay if they are ruined, this is a very poisonous "good person card".

I wrote about Yin Xiuzhu’s birthday today, and it’s my own birthday, what a coincidence 233333
