I want this sand sculpture

Song Qichen has been very worried these two days because Du Yan's birthday is coming up.

He knew this because of Du Qingqing——Song Qichen went to Du Yan's house to teach Du Qingqing for the first time last weekend. The little girl's eyes lit up and pulled him into the study, and then mercilessly shut her brother out.

"Hey!" Du Yan slammed on the door helplessly, "Don't do anything strange to him!"

Du Qingqing: "Understood, brother, you are so annoying!"

Then he told Song Qichen all the embarrassing things about Du Yan since childhood.

Including Du Yan once celebrated her birthday when she was a child, and took her to provoke a stray dog ​​on the side of the road and was chased and bitten for three streets.

"When is your brother's birthday?" Song Qichen asked.

"You want to talk about this," Du Qingqing blinked, "next Friday."

Song Qichen: "...Oh."

After Song Qichen left, Du Yan grabbed his sister, "Did you tell him?"

Du Qingqing raised her face proudly, "Of course."

Du Yan nodded in satisfaction, then lowered his voice ferociously, "Don't have any unreasonable thoughts about him."

"Why?" Du Qingqing pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction. She really liked this little teacher who was handsome and had a nice voice.

"Because you are still young," Du Yan said solemnly, and added to Du Qingqing's suspicious and hungry eyes, "and he has a bad temper and will beat people."

Du Qingqing was dubious, "Oh."

……

In short, there are two days left until Princess Du Yan's birthday, but Prince Song Qichen hasn't figured out what gift to give him yet, which makes him very annoyed.

Song Qichen wanted to make a gift for Du Yan with his own hands, but his hands-on ability was really not strong since he was a child, and he didn't think of what to do when he wanted to break his head.

Until he saw Zhou Qin and a group of girls secretly weaving bracelets in Chinese class.

Song Qichen remembered that Du Yan seemed to have an anklet, maybe he could weave a bracelet for him?

But after he borrowed a few pieces of Zhou Qin's rope and tried to weave it for half an hour, he decisively gave up the idea. He was really crazy to want to make a gift himself.

Still buy it.

Du Yan's birthday has long been no secret. I still remember that on the day of the first year of high school, the girls at the door of Class [-] came to give gifts from morning to afternoon, which caused quite a stir in the whole school.In the end, this large-scale gift-giving conference ended with Du Yan skipping the evening self-study, and the girls couldn't find a talent and let it go.

So this year Du Yan had already made all-out preparations - he pretended to be sick and asked for leave, and went to the infirmary to lie down for a day.

Song Qichen was very shocked by Du Yan's acting skills. If he hadn't known in advance that Du Yan's stomach pain was faking, he would have believed that this person had acute gastroenteritis.

Zhou Qin and Xu Min prepared a surprise for Du Yan, and Song Qichen was also called to join in the planning. Besides them, Wan Xu Rhubarb, who was far away in the liberal arts class, was also called.

The content of the surprise is the barbecue on the rooftop after school in the evening.

"Rooftop barbecue?" Wan Xu was shocked when he learned of the plan, "How?"

Zhou Qin sighed, and looked at him like a fool, "Of course it's not roasting on the rooftop, but buying barbecue in the store and eating it on the rooftop, referred to as rooftop barbecue."

Wan Xu: "You are too simple."

"Anyway, that's the plan, let's divide the work," Xu Min said, "Sister Qin is in charge of calling people, calling Yan Ge's friends, and Wan Xu Rhubarb will be in charge of buying food and drink with me. The money is waiting for us to applaud It will be shared equally among people."

Wan Xu and Huang Yubin nodded, expressing that they had no objections.

"What am I doing?" Song Qichen asked.

"Brother Chen," Xu Min smiled and blinked, "You are responsible for calling Brother Yan to the rooftop."

Song Qichen: "...Oh."

Everything went very smoothly except that the protagonist who was surprised was lying on the bed in the school doctor's office holding a warm water bottle while humming and playing Bubble Bobble.

When Song Qichen came to pick Du Yan up to the rooftop, it took [-]% of his strength to hold back, and he didn't just throw him out of the window.

"Can't you get up?" Song Qichen gritted his teeth and asked, his patience was almost reaching its limit.

"Immediately," Du Yan poked his phone without looking up, "That's the end."

Song Qichen: "...I gave you a chance."

"……Um?"

So Song Qichen dragged Du Yan to the rooftop amidst Du Yan's accusations of "You can't treat a patient like this" and "Today is my birthday, you can't do anything".

At 10:30 in the evening, there were no lit classrooms on the second floor, and the corridor was pitch-black, with no other sounds except for the breathing and footsteps of the two.

"You..." Du Yan followed behind Song Qichen, hesitatingly speaking.

"Don't ask." Song Qichen cut him off decisively.

Du Yan snorted lightly, but unexpectedly obediently kept silent.

The two went up to the fifth floor in silence, and Du Yan could already see the iron door on the roof—the lock was picked open.

He was suddenly a little excited.

Song Qichen invited him to the rooftop at night, on his birthday.

At night, on the rooftop, there is no one.

Is there something to tell him?Still do something?

Du Yan vaguely began to look forward to it, although he couldn't say clearly what he was looking forward to.

But what he imagined didn't happen.

Song Qichen stood outside the iron gate, stepped aside, and insisted that Du Yan open the door.

After Du Yan did as he did, a cannon blast hit his ears, and then golden pieces of paper fell all over his body.

He was startled, and it took him a long time to react.

The roof was cleaned carefully, and several wooden boxes that were originally placed were neatly stacked and stacked in the corner.There are a few small tables in the middle, with grilled meat skewers in several big bags on them, exuding bursts of tempting aroma, and two bottles of beer are placed beside the tables.There are also several colorful balloons tied to the railings of the roof.

"Brother Yan," Wan Xu shouted with a smile while holding the birthday cannon that was fired at him just now, "Happy Birthday!"

Then everyone was smiling at him and shouting a jagged "Happy Birthday."

Song Qichen didn't know when he walked into the crowd from behind him, and when he came out from the crowd, he held a cake in his hand.

He walked up to Du Yan with the cake, and there was a candle made into the number "18" on it, and the candle's light flickered because of the wind blown by his walking.

Song Qichen stood still, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "Happy birthday, Brother Yan."

Du Yan didn't know how to describe his current mood. Although it was different from what he expected, he was still so moved that he wanted to cry, but he wouldn't admit it!

Because it really is, it really is – it’s awesome!

After a while, Du Yan could only hold back a sentence: "Thank you."

Song Qichen seemed to see Du Yan's thoughts, he raised his eyebrows, leaned close to Du Yan's face and whispered: "If you want to cry after eating, I won't tell others."

Song Qichen's face looked extraordinarily gentle against the candlelight, and his raised eyebrows lost their original provocative nature.

Du Yan stared at his face in a daze again, until Huang Yubin next to him reminded him to blow out the candles, Du Yan suddenly came back to his senses.

Just now there was an urge to kiss her.

Du Yan shook his head, throwing out all the weird thoughts.

Under everyone's urging, Du Yan closed his eyes and clasped his hands together to make a wish, and then blew out the candle.

The teenagers cheered for a while, and after Song Qichen put the cake on the small table, he began to fumble to present his present.

Wan Xu sent a mechanical keyboard and Huang Yubin sent headphones, which Du Yan said he just needed.Xu Min was amazing, she bought the golden curly hair used in the school celebration performance that day and gave it to Du Yan.While everyone was booing, Du Yan put on a wig and asked them to take pictures one by one before letting him go.

What Zhou Qin gave was a blue bracelet, the kind he wove with rope, with the letters DY hanging on it.

Fortunately, I didn't make this up for him, Song Qichen was silently relieved in his heart.

But when Du Yan accepted the bracelet with a smile and said "I like it very much", Song Qichen was a little unhappy.For some reason, he didn't want this bracelet to appear on Du Yan's wrist.

Not at any time.

Fortunately, Du Yan just put it in his pocket, which made Song Qichen feel much better.

"What about yours?" After accepting the last gift, Du Yan raised his eyebrows at Song Qichen who hadn't given him anything for a long time, "You didn't prepare a gift for me?"

The teenagers who finished sending their blessings had already turned around and devoted themselves to the great business of eating barbecue. They didn't care what the birthday star was doing at all. At this moment, only Du Yan and Song Qichen were left beside the iron gate.

"Ah," Song Qichen shrugged and leaned back against the wall, "I forgot."

Du Yan stared at him seriously for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "You liar, you must have."

Song Qichen clicked his tongue, and as if by magic, he took out a small dark blue box the size of a palm from behind and handed it to Du Yan.

"What is it?" Du Yan took the box in surprise, held the phone and shook it lightly, it was quite heavy.

Although Du Yan knew that Song Qichen would never forget his birthday, he still couldn't help being happy when he received the gift.

"Look for yourself." Song Qichen turned his face away with some awkwardness.

Du Yan didn't say anything, and opened the box carefully.

Inside lay a black mechanical watch quietly.

The style of the watch is very simple, but the workmanship is fine. The case and strap are pure black, and the dial is silver, with a metallic luster under the moonlight.

Du Yan looked at the watch, took it out after about half a minute, untied the strap and buckled it on his left wrist.

"Happy birthday." Song Qichen rolled his eyes and said it again.

Du Yan took his eyes off the watch with great difficulty, he lowered his head and touched his nose, "Yeah."

"Do you like it?" Song Qichen asked.

"I like it," Du Yan replied without any hesitation, and kept touching the watch strap with his right hand, "This is the most favorite gift I received today."

"That's good," Song Qichen cleared his throat, took Du Yan's arm and walked towards the crowd, "Let's go, let's eat meat."

In the darkness, Du Yan didn't see Song Qichen's raised corners of his mouth and slightly red ears.
