little boy [rebirth]

Haiyun City, Ji's private residence.

"3, 2, 1!"

"Woooooooo!"

The balloon exploded with a "bang", and a bouquet-like golden strip hung down, floating in front of the elegant gray marble column, and the words HAPPY BIRTHDAY slowly bulged out from the top.

Today is Ji Ran's birthday, February 2th.

Just after Valentine's Day, in time for the Spring Festival.

According to the usual practice, every birthday, the old lady has to make a big fuss, but the older she gets, the less happy she is. Now it has simply become a small birthday party with only family members.

Su Ning stood aside and touched Ji Ran's soft short hair. One of the dull hairs on it rose up somehow, and she felt like an antenna: "What are you waiting for? Blow out the candles."

Ji Ran looked at the three-story square fruit chocolate cake in front of him, and glanced at the kind grandparents beside him, Ji Wei and Ji Qiuqiu who were smiling, and then there were a few heads staring at the cake with greedy eyes——

Shi An, Li Meng and a few classmates who have a good relationship were also warmly invited.

There was actually another person who was also invited, but there was no figure for a long time.

"Anyone else?"

Ji Ran's eyes drifted to the door and then back to the cake.

Su Ning's expression turned pale: "Mr. Fu has something to do today, so he can't come. Here, the gift has been sent to you."

The old lady also urged: "Okay, let's blow."

"Oh."

Ji Ran's eyes darkened a little, and she scratched her head to make amends: "I didn't look for him, I didn't see the inch head just now."

An inch came out: "I'm here."

Ji Ran: "..."

After blowing out the candles and singing the birthday song, Ji Qiuqiu urged to unwrap the presents, which is also Ji Ran's biggest headache every year...

But this year seems to be different.

His gaze swept across a pile of beautifully wrapped gift boxes not far away, and his anticipation seemed to be a little more than before.

"Come on, be parents first."

When the old lady said a word, Ji Wei and Su Ning handed over the two young ones.Ji Ran looked a little surprised, because the two things were about the same size and looked like one thing...

"Why are they all watches?"

"..."

No one expected that the moment the second gift was unwrapped, the scene would be a little awkward.

Ji Ran had two watch boxes in his left hand and right hand, and he didn't know which one to remove first.

"You two didn't talk about it before you bought it?"

The old lady frowned and said, "Why is it so heavy?"

Ji Wei's face froze with a smile, a little embarrassed.Su Ning paused for a moment before responding: "I've been too busy recently, so I really didn't take care of it. I thought how could it be such a coincidence..."

"Yes."

"What is it..."

The old lady Ji looked at Su Ning with displeasure, "I don't care at all. Nong, as I said before, when Ran Ran is in high school, you can go and study with her, don't be too busy."

"grandmother."

Ji Ran lowered her head and put the watch away, and looked at her with a smile: "I like both those of my parents."

He likes both.

"Okay, okay. It's my turn."

Ji Qiuqiu had sharp eyes, and when the old lady was silent, he squeezed in immediately: "Come and see, my sister-in-law gave our baby a birthday present."

Ji Ran opened the box, it was a thin envelope.I got two tickets for the concert, which said VIP infield, 01 and 02.

"Just take two pieces of paper to fool me?"

"..."

Ji Qiuqiu raised his eyebrows: "Little brat, do you know how hard it is to get one? This is Chanu's first Asian tour, and these two tickets are more expensive than watches."

Ji Ran: "Really?"

Tokigi: "Really."

Ji Ran: "?"

He just remembered that this person is a fan.

The young master who doesn't chase stars quickly skipped this part, opened more than half of the gift, and Ji Ran's eyes were already rolling on the two black square boxes on the farthest side.

Except Fu Yanbai.

No one will use such simple packaging.

Su Ning saw through his thoughts, and simply hugged those two first: "Let's dismantle this first."

"..."

In fact, Ji Ran didn't know what Fu Yanbai would give him.

I haven't seen him for a winter vacation, and I don't even know what this person is busy with, why I don't even have time to come to his birthday party.

"Ca..."

In front of the elders, Tokigi swallowed the words abruptly, and only widened his eyes, expressing his surprise: "UDA's Jordan's signature basketball."

Ji Ran frowned: "What?"

Shi An: "There are only 23 in the world, tens of thousands of one."

"..."

"Oh."

Ji Ran looked at the glittering golden ball, her mood didn't fluctuate much.

He doesn't like basketball...

"Then what's that box next to it?" Ji Qiuqiu opened another black box, and this time Ji Ran knew what was inside, it was a pair of ice blue sneakers.

This time, you don't need to listen to Shi An's howling, Ji Ran can probably guess that this is another pair of limited edition, maybe it is a serial number, maybe it has some signature, anyway, Fu Yanbai thought he fell in love with playing basketball, so he got into such a set Extremely precious equipment.

"Not bad... When you left, I thought you didn't like Fu Yanbai." Ji Qiuqiu thought of Ji Ran's awkward look when he left home, and was really surprised: "He's so good at currying favor with you now."

Really can't say I don't care.

But Ji Ran didn't feel too much surprise.

Subconsciously, he always felt that Fu Yanbai would give him a different gift...

It felt like he showed up in the teacher's office that day, protecting himself.

Gee.

Fu Yanbai, really perfunctory.

Ji Ran accepted the gift, and made a fuss for a while, and finally a birthday was over.Vacations are always short, Ji Wei drove him to Luyang the next morning, and there were only a few days left to leave school.

"Why didn't my mother come?"

Ji Ran unbuttoned his seat belt and asked casually, Ji Wei smiled and patted him on the head: "It was agreed before, Dad will see you off."

"Oh."

Ji Ran didn't ask any more questions, and when he got home, he nestled on the sofa with the rabbit's head in his arms.Fu Yanbai seemed to be very busy during the whole winter vacation, at ten past eight o'clock, there was no one at home yet.

"Look, even you know to meet me at the door."

After sharing a ham sausage with Tutou, Ji Ran's mouth became more and more pouted, and finally when the door opened at ten o'clock, Tutou jumped off the sleepy sofa.

The lights are on.

Fu Yanbai glanced at the sofa: "Are you back?"

Ji Ran didn't make a sound, and jumped off the sofa, her slippers slapping.

As soon as I reached the stairs, there was an extra voice from behind: "I have an operation today, so I came back late."

A moment of silence.

crackle crackle.

The young master stepped on his slippers and sat back on the sofa.

"..."

Fu Yanbai took off his coat, and moved the corner of his mouth helplessly, as if as long as Ji Ran was around, he would always feel this way.

Want to laugh but helpless.

Childish and a little heartwarming.

"Did you have a good birthday?"

"so so."

"Have you received the gift?"

"received."

Ancestors don't look at people.

Fu Yanbai raised his eyebrows: "Don't like it?"

Ji Ran didn't speak, and after a while he muttered and asked, "You...why didn't you come that day?"

"There are patients."

The drawer was opened and closed again, Fu Yanbai came out from the study, his voice came from far to near: "Cheng Duoduo, she just had a follow-up visit that day."

It was the girl who was rescued in Jingpin Square.

Ji Ran was taken aback for a moment, the little unhappiness in his heart quickly dissipated, he stood up and walked to Fu Yanbai's side, and stretched out his head like a chicken: "How is she now?"

"Fortunately."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ji Ran felt that Fu Yanbai's expression was lonely for a moment.

It was as if the dim night light in the corner of the balcony flickered for a moment inadvertently.

Fu Yanbai held a folded piece of paper in his hand, and said in a low voice, "His father did not agree to the transplant."

"Don't agree?"

"Choose conservative treatment."

Ji Ran stood there in a daze, and Fu Yanbai glanced at him.

When it comes to Cheng Duoduo, he always has an inexplicable partiality, as if Ji Ran should be able to understand his thoughts.

Maybe because this is the one who brought her back.

"The result of BPN under load yesterday was not very good." Fu Yanbai said in a low voice, "If the operation was performed at that time, it might be much better."

Ji Ran let out a "hmm".

He knows that the family members have absolute decision-making power in these matters, especially for a 5- or 6-year-old girl like Cheng Duoduo, how to treat the disease and what kind of treatment is almost all up to the parents.

Fu Yanbai: "So that day didn't pass, I'm sorry."

"..."

Ji Ran raised his head, in fact, he had long forgotten about his previous petty temper.

Of course he knew that Fu Yanbai had more important things to do, many times more important than celebrating his birthday.

"No, I didn't…"

"Although it hasn't passed, happy birthday."

Fu Yanbai leaned halfway in front of the table, and handed over the piece of paper: "Gift."

"?"

Ji Ran raised her head "shua".

He looked at the piece of paper that Fu Yanbai stretched out, at first glance it looked like an ordinary A4 paper, very similar to the product of Fu Yanbai's perfunctory series...

Until he opened it and saw the above content.

It's still rudimentary...

Simple crayons, even without too many colors, are the most common black.

In the center of the picture is a crooked villain. Ji Ran can barely tell from the hairstyle that it is a boy. The eyes are even bigger than the cheeks, which is a bit funny.

In the next second, he saw a line of thick and scattered handwriting under the villain——

Brother Xiexie Ji Ran, I wish you a happy birthday.

"You told her?"

In fact, there is no need to ask, he also knows that Fu Yanbai said it.

And let a 6-year-old girl do this kind of painting of small cards...it must be shameful.

"She wanted to write it herself."

Fu Yanbai tore it lightly, Ji Ran folded the paper and put it away, and snorted: "Oh. Then can I go see her?"

Fu Yanbai: "It depends on your performance."

Ji Ran held the paper like a treasure, forced down the corner of his mouth that was about to turn up to the sky, and walked upstairs. Fu Yanbai's lazy voice came from behind him, repeating:

"Don't you like the gift?"

"..."

Ji Ran: "I like it."

After he finished speaking, he felt Fu Yanbai's warm and big hand caressing his soft short hair, stroking it like a cat, leaving only a back view of going upstairs.

"The little girl likes it as a gift."

"?"

Your uncle's little girl.
