In the latter part of the road, Wen Chenyang drove all the way to the urban area of ​​Nancheng City. There were many cars in the urban area, but Wen Chenyang, who had already gotten started, did not panic, and shuttled freely like an old driver.

This Saturday, Ye Zhiying and Gu Zhennan were both at home, and they happened to be in time for lunch.

Wen Chenyang called his uncle and aunt sweetly, and then went to the table to eat with them.

After eating, Wen Chenyang and their family of three sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting. Ye Zhiying said: "Chenyang, I heard from your mother that you also applied for Nanjing University, right?"

Wen Chenyang nodded, "Well, that's right, I applied for a marketing major at Nantah University."

"Our family, Xizhe, also applied to Nanjing University, majoring in finance." Ye Zhiying glanced at Gu Xizhe, "I don't know what he thinks, his total score is the third in the province, and it is more than enough to go to Beijing University, so he insists on choosing Nanjing University."

Gu Xizhe said lightly, "It's close to home."

Ye Zhiying sighed, "That's the benefit."

Gu Zhennan, who kept silent all the time, said: "If you choose your child, you can choose it. It doesn't matter if it's Nanjing University or Beijing University. It won't affect your son's future."

"Okay, I won't talk about it."

Wen Chenyang glanced at Gu Xizhe, he chose Nantah University because it was close to home?In the novel, he went to England in the western hemisphere, and he didn't seem to complain about being too far away from home.

Ye Zhiying said: "Chenyang, you came at the right time. Today is Xizhe's birthday. Tonight, I asked my aunt to cook a table of delicious dishes. Let's celebrate together."

Wen Chenyang was a little confused, today is Gu Xizhe's birthday?He has no idea.

He also made an appointment with Gao Hang and the others to have dinner at the music restaurant in the evening. Before he could say anything, Gu Xizhe replied, "We're having dinner outside tonight."

Ye Zhiying didn't know that they had a party tonight, "Well, what are you doing eating out?"

"classmate reunion."

Ye Zhiying understands that when a child grows up and has friends of his own, it is normal to want to celebrate his birthday with friends, "That's fine, you can get together with your friends, but I still have to prepare a cake at ten o'clock in the evening Before you two came back, we cut the cake together."

"Ah."

The weather cleared up in the afternoon, Gu Xizhe and Wen Chenyang drove back to school by themselves, and met some boys in the class to play basketball together.

The driver was Wen Chenyang. He was driving the steering wheel with ease on the intricate urban roads.

He is very familiar with this area, "There is a good cake shop in front, why don't you go and order a cake first."

Gu Xizhe said: "My mother ordered it."

"I mean the dinner with Lao Gao and the others tonight."

"No need." Gu Xizhe said deliberately, "There's no need to tell them about their birthday either."

Wen Chenyang knows Gu Xizhe very well, this guy doesn't like too much excitement, if a bunch of people celebrate his birthday, he might feel embarrassed.

"Okay then, let's get together with them until around 08:30, and then go home for your birthday."

The campus in August was very deserted, there was no one on the school road, only a few groups of alumni returning to school to play on the playground.

There were seven people in total, Gao Hang didn't participate, and watched from the sidelines. The remaining six played half-court and were drawn into groups. Gu Xizhe and Wen Chenyang were in the same group.

Wen Chenyang has not played basketball for a long time, and he is a bit unfamiliar. After playing for a few minutes, his body's memory cells will be awakened, and he will start to move around the court with ease.

Coupled with the tacit cooperation between him and Gu Xizhe, Xu Junhao's team had very few chances to touch the ball.

After playing for 10 minutes, Xu Junhao quit, "Chenyang, Young Master Gu, you two have joined forces, and we came here together to serve as a foil for you."

Qiu Yue was running with his hips akimbo, sweating profusely. He hadn't even touched the ball after he came on the court, "Yes, you two have to separate, otherwise the ball can't be hit."

Gu Xizhe and Wen Chenyang looked at each other and smiled, and the latter said: "OK, OK, I'll go to your group, which one of you will come?"

Tan Qianwen raised his hand, "Let me go."

"Okay, let's start again." Wen Chenyang wiped his sweat while grabbing the collar of his jersey, and smiled, "Why don't we play something exciting, and whichever team loses will be treated tonight."

Gao Hang, who was enjoying the shade under the tree outside the court, clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay, that's it, I'll time and score for you!"

Qiu Yue said, "I'm fine."

Tan Qianwen said, "I'm fine too."

No one objected, so it was happily decided that the losing team would have a treat tonight.

After four and 10 minutes of playing, the final score was 42 to 39, and Gu Xizhe's team won.

Wen Chenyang was willing to admit defeat, he said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Gao Hang said, "Didn't your team invite them together?"

Wen Chenyang wiped off his sweat, "It's okay, I proposed it, and I'll invite it."

Han Junjie smiled, "Chenyang, then we won't be polite."

After the game, everyone was sweating and went home to take a shower and change their clothes. They agreed to meet at Gao Hang's music restaurant at seven o'clock.

Gao Hang's music restaurant business is still booming. Most of the people who come here are young people. It's summer vacation, and many students come here to party.

Gu Xizhe didn't want others to know that today was his birthday, and Wen Chenyang kept silent.

Seven people gathered at a table and ordered ten dishes.

On the stage of the restaurant, no one sang, and the stereo played soothing light music.Gao Hang said that usually on some important festivals, part-timers are specially invited to sing, and the rest of the time the stage and those musical instruments are just decorations.

In the afternoon, I was only focused on playing ball, and I hadn't said a few words yet. At this time, a group of boys sat together and had endless topics to talk about. They talked about their respective volunteers, and talked about some interesting things in the classroom and dormitory.

Wen Chenyang looked at the time, it was eight o'clock, and they ate for an hour, and the dishes on the table were almost done.

He patted Gao Hang on the shoulder, leaned over and said, "Old Gao, I'll go up and sing a song, okay?"

Gao Hangdao: "Of course it is possible, I wish for it."

"Okay, I'll go up." Wen Chenyang got up and left his seat. Gu Xizhe, who was sitting next to him, thought he was going to the bathroom and didn't pay attention to where he was going.

Until, a familiar singing voice came from the stereo, and the deep boyish voice sang in Cantonese:

I haven't forgotten to eat fried noodles with you in the shop, this birthday is too classic

Make your heart sweet with Zhu Ersheng and start to develop from then on

……

Gu Xizhe looked towards the stage. Wen Chenyang, who had just left his seat, was sitting on a high stool on the stage, with one leg stretched forward and the other slightly bent on the crossbar of the high stool. The microphone was resting on his lap at will. With a smile on his face, he sang softly in a nice boyish voice:

Today I will be with you one year older and still as pure as clear water

If I love you is a golden sentence to tell until you fall asleep

I will accompany you all my life and still know your heart every year

……

Gu Xizhe looked at the stage and couldn't move his eyes. Some people around praised him for singing well, and some people asked what the name of the song was. Gao Hang said he didn't expect his Cantonese to be so standard.

But only Gu Xizhe knew that this song was sung for him.

His birthday is in the summer vacation, and every year, my mother will definitely remember it. It is nothing more than cooking a table of delicious dishes, buying a cake to celebrate, and occasionally trying to celebrate my birthday alone, because my parents are too busy.

For him, birthdays are all the same, and have no special meaning.

But today, for the first time, he felt that it was good to have a birthday.

After Wen Chenyang sang the song, he chatted with other people for a while after stepping off the stage. Seeing that the time was almost up, he said he had to leave first. He promised Ye Zhiying that he would go back to cut the cake at nine o'clock to celebrate Gu Xizhe's birthday.

When she got home, Ye Zhiying took the cake out of the refrigerator. It was a very simple cake with happy birthday written on the white cream with black chocolate sauce.

Ye Zhiying handed the cake cutting knife to Gu Xizhe, "Come on, cut the cake."

Wen Chenyang was a little confused, why cut the cake as soon as it was taken out? "etc."

All three of the family looked at him, Wen Chenyang said: "I haven't lit the candles yet, sang the birthday song and made a wish."

Both father and son Gu Zhennan and Gu Xizhe have dull temperaments, and Ye Zhiying doesn't expect them to be able to clap their hands and sing birthday songs, and put their hands together to make wishes, so the Gu family always cuts the cake directly on their birthdays.

Gu Xizhe said, "Cut it directly."

"No." Wen Chenyang said, "Light the candles, I'll sing."

Ye Zhiying smiled, "Chen Yang is right, it's better to light candles and make a wish, otherwise there will be no atmosphere at all."

Wen Chenyang took out all the candles, Gu Xizhe had just turned 19, he inserted nineteen of them, and lit them one by one.

Gu Zhennan went to turn off the lights, and then Wen Chenyang and Ye Zhiying clapped their hands and sang a birthday song, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The orange candlelight reflected everyone's faces. Gu Zhennan didn't sing, but clapped along, while Wen Chenyang sang with great concentration, with a sunny smile on his face.

Gu Xizhe didn't feel embarrassed, but for the first time felt the special significance of being a birthday man.

After singing the song, Wen Chenyang said: "Quick, close your eyes and make a wish."

Gu Xizhe closed his eyes, made a wish, and then blew out the candles with Wen Chenyang.He remembered the last time he lit candles on his birthday, it should have been before he was ten years old.

After the cake was cut, everyone ate a token bit, and the birthday was considered over.

Wen Chenyang was in Gu Xizhe's room as if he was in his own room, and there was still a set of his toiletries here.After taking a shower and changing into Gu Xizhe's pajamas, he lay on the bed and looked at his phone for a while.

He found that both Gao Hang and Qiu Yue had posted photos of their party today in Moments, and he clicked in to save some of the photos.

I suddenly felt a little emotional in my heart. After I entered university, I would have less contact with my high school classmates. Fortunately, he and Gu Xizhe are still in the same school in university, and we can still see each other often in the future.

Gu Xizhe came out of the shower and lay down too. Wen Chenyang leaned over and showed him the photo on his phone. In the photo, Wen Chenyang was wearing a ball uniform, jumping up and shooting, "Look, I'm super handsome in this picture. "

Gu Xizhe hooked the corners of his lips, "Will you die if you are not narcissistic for a day?"

"People who are not narcissistic show that they are desperate for themselves, and they will really commit suicide."

Makes sense.

Wen Chenyang got into the bed and lay down, Gu Xizhe reached out to turn off the light, and lay down too.

In the dark room, Wen Chenyang lay on his side, facing Gu Xizhe, but couldn't see him clearly, "Gu Xizhe, you don't look like someone born in August at all."

"How to say?"

"August is a Leo, but you, I don't feel like it."

"Do you believe in constellations?"

When Wen Chenyang was also learning to drive, he watched it boredly, "It feels pretty accurate."

"Then what zodiac sign are you?"

"Capricorn." Wen Chenyang said, "I think you are more compatible with Capricorn."

Gu Xizhe: "Then what are the characteristics of a Capricorn?"

Wen Chenyang began to count: "It's cold on the outside, but hot on the inside, smart, responsible, honest and kind, and affectionate and dedicated in terms of feelings."

Hearing the last sentence, Gu Xizhe said, "It seems to be more suitable."

Wen Chenyang thought of Gu Xizhe's birthday today, but he didn't give any presents, and he was still living in someone else's house. He felt a little sorry, he picked up the phone next to him, and sent Gu Xizhe a red envelope with a message: Every year there is today, every year there is today .

Wen Chenyang found that Gu Xizhe's phone didn't ring, probably because it was turned on silent or airplane mode, "Gu Xizhe, look at the phone."

Gu Xizhe touched the phone from the bedside table and turned it on, turning off the airplane mode. He saw Wen Chenyang's red envelope, but he didn't turn it on.

Wen Chenyang deliberately explained: "I didn't know your birthday was today at first, and I didn't buy a gift, so I sent a small red envelope, which means something."

"Didn't you mean it was over?"

"Have it?"

"Please have dinner, and I sang "Every Year Today". This gift is enough."

Wen Chenyang didn't regard these as his birthday presents, "But I sent all the red envelopes, if you don't accept them, it doesn't seem too good."

Gu Xizhe opened the red envelope and accepted it. It was 188 yuan. This person knew how to pick auspicious numbers. He said, "As a gift in return, I will send you back to Cangcheng tomorrow."

"drive?"

Gu Xizhe put down the phone and covered the quilt, "Well, you drive there, I'll drive back."

Although it sounds good, Cangcheng is 110 kilometers away from Nancheng. "It's too troublesome to go back and forth."

"Just think of it as driving practice."

The author has something to say: Wen Chenyang: It’s not that I’m poor, but the upper limit of WeChat red envelopes is 200. [dog head]
