The time of that year passed very quickly, almost every day I worked hard in the repeated exercise rounds, and when the college entrance examination was about to come, the exercise books that Shao Rong had done could pile up into a hill.

Shao Rong's grades have always been very good, and he doesn't have too much pressure on the college entrance examination. As long as he performs normally, it is not difficult to be admitted to a key domestic college.The point is that he wants to study abroad with two friends.

He applied for IELTS together with Xu Jinnian, and reached the score line required by British institutions for international students. Shao Rong thought that after passing the IELTS, he would be a little more confident in talking to his father about going abroad.

However, the simple Shao Rong never thought about it. For Shao Changgeng, studying abroad is the bottom line he cannot tolerate.

Before the college entrance examination, the school had a three-day holiday. Shao Rong had a good sleep at home to recharge his energy. When he got up, he saw Shao Changgeng cooking in the kitchen.

Shao Rong came to the kitchen suspiciously, and asked the man in home clothes, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Shao Changgeng didn't turn his head back, and said in a flat tone: "Please come back to accompany you on leave, so that you can prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

Shao Rong was moved again, and after being silent for a while, he said softly: "Actually, it's unnecessary, you're so busy..."

"It's okay." Shao Changgeng smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Shao Rong, "Go take a bath, and eat after washing."

Seeing Shao Rong standing still, Shao Changgeng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Go quickly."

"Oh..." Shao Rong had no choice but to turn around to take a bath and eat.

For three days, Shao Changgeng pampered and protected Shao Rong like a rare animal, and cooked nutritious meals by himself every day. In order to let Shao Rong relax his nerves, he even took him to watch two relaxing and funny movies .

On the morning of the college entrance examination, Shao Changgeng got up early to prepare breakfast, and drove Shao Rong to the examination room himself.

Sitting in the car, Shao Rong couldn't help joking: "I'm taking the exam, why is Dad more nervous than me?"

Shao Changgeng smiled: "You are my only treasure, your affairs are of course the most important to me."

Shao Rong lowered his head and said emotionally, "I will pass the exam."

Shao Changgeng joked, "It doesn't matter if you fail the exam, Dad can support you."

Shao Rong also laughed, "It won't be so miserable that you can raise it. It should be no problem to focus on the exam..."

Shao Changgeng stopped the car, reached out to stroke Shao Rong's hair, and said softly, "I believe in you, come on."

Shao Rong nodded, got out of the car and walked briskly into the examination room.

Unexpectedly, when he came out after the first test, he saw the familiar car at the door again.

——He has been waiting here? !

In the hot summer, he would be drenched in sweat after spending a few seconds on the street. Although the car was air-conditioned, he parked in a direction where the sun could shine.Seeing the handsome side face of the man in the driver's seat through the car window, Shao Rong's heart was almost overflowing with emotion.Walking to the side of the car and opening the door to get in the car, he turned his head and met Shao Changgeng's deep gaze.

"Why have you been waiting here?" Shao Rong said distressedly.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have nothing to do after taking leave." Shao Changgeng leaned over to help Shao Rong fasten his seat belt, and asked in a low voice, "How did you do in the exam?"

Shao Rong said seriously: "Not bad, the topic is not difficult."

Shao Changgeng smiled slightly, "Well, to reward you, you can choose whatever you want to eat."

"Can we eat Sichuan food?" Shao Rong looked at him expectantly.

Shao Changgeng nodded, "Of course."

During the two days of the college entrance examination, Shao Changgeng stayed with Shao Rong all the time, and even Xu Jinnian said, "Your dad is so kind to you, just like a personal bodyguard."

Although there were many parents waiting at the entrance of the examination room, Shao Changgeng was undoubtedly the most persistent one.

Every time he saw his car at the door after the exam, Shao Rong felt full of gratitude in his heart.He even felt that how could he be able to meet such a good adoptive father after his parents passed away.

After the college entrance examination, I suddenly became extremely relaxed, as if the heavy burden on my shoulders was finally put down.

The students clamored for a party, and the class leader Xu Jinnian personally organized and led the whole class to go camping. Shao Rong wanted to go, but was stopped by Shao Changgeng.

Seeing Shao Rong bowed his head and looked disappointed, Shao Changgeng couldn't help comforting him in a low voice: "It's not safe to go camping outside. Wait a few days for your birthday, and then invite your classmates to play, okay?"

Shao Rong nodded, "Okay."

Shao Rong originally thought that what he said by "inviting students to play" was just ordering a table of meals in a certain restaurant and having a cake with his classmates.Unexpectedly, his father actually arranged a gorgeous birthday party for him, and specially prepared a handsome white dress for him.

When Shao Rong was taken to the door of the restaurant by his father's car, he was even stunned by the scene in front of him.

Shao Changgeng directly booked a western restaurant as the venue for the birthday party, and the venue was very beautifully decorated.The lights on the roof are dazzling, and the wide hall is filled with exquisite fruit salads and buffets. The goblets filled with red wine are shining with luster and brilliance under the light, just like a world in a dream.

What's even more exaggerated is that the students who received the invitation letter and arrived at the scene were all wearing beautiful dresses. Obviously, the dress requirements were carefully marked on the invitation.

Shao Rong was used to their innocent appearance in loose school uniforms at school. Now that they changed their clothes, the students who had just walked out of high school seemed to have undergone a sudden change. Everyone had bright smiles on their faces. The unique charm between astringency and maturity makes people unable to take their eyes off.

The classmates who usually do problems together and play cards together, dressed like this, Shao Rong almost couldn't recognize them.Especially Xu Jinnian and Chen Linlin, the former is wearing a chic black tuxedo, while the latter is wearing a royal blue dress and crystal high heels of the same color, with her ponytails down and her long hair hanging over her shoulders, standing together, like in a fairy tale little prince and princess.

Are you the protagonist of today's grand banquet?

It's unbelievable!

Shao Rong stopped at the door and stayed for a few seconds, his cheeks flushed slightly because of embarrassment, he gently pulled Shao Changgeng's sleeve, and said, "Dad, are you exaggerating..."

Shao Changgeng still had a faint smile on his face, "Your birthday, coming-of-age ceremony, dad wants to celebrate you properly, can't you?"

"..." Shao Rong was speechless.

"Let's go, I'm here, don't be stage frightened."

Having never attended a ball before, and there were so many people here today, Shao Rong was very nervous, took a few deep breaths, and then followed Shao Changgeng into the hall with a smile on his face.

All eyes were instantly focused on the two father and son who walked into the hall one after the other.

Shao Changgeng was wearing a dark gray suit. While he was mature and stable, he also had a handsome face. His eyes swept across the venue, like a king patrolling his territory, making the whole venue instantly quiet.

Shao Rong was dressed in a white dress, standing next to his father with a smile on his face, causing the blood pressure of many girls who secretly had a crush on him to soar.

Even Xu Jinnian stared at Shao Rong for a moment, then realized, and took the lead in applauding: "Our star is here!"

Everyone began to cheer: "Happy Birthday Shao Rong!"

"Happy birthday!"

There was a burst of loud applause in the arena.

Under everyone's gaze, Shao Rong walked to the middle of the hall and stood next to Xu Jinnian and Chen Linlin.

——What should I do next?

— Cutting the cake?But what about the cake?

Shao Rong couldn't cope with this situation at all, and turned to his father who was not far away for help.

Shao Changgeng gave him a comforting look, smiled slightly, walked to the front, and said loudly, "Thank you everyone for taking your precious time to attend our coming-of-age ceremony for Shao Rong."

There was a pause, and a needle could be heard on the spot.

Shao Changgeng has the aura of a natural leader. With his usually sharp eyes, the directors of the hospital dare not show their air, let alone these students who have just graduated from high school.

Everyone stared at Shao Changgeng intently. In the hearts of these students, Shao Rong's father was not only tall and handsome, but also very personable. He was not at all rigid like some parents. Listening to him was more interesting than listening to the principal's speech.

Shao Changgeng smiled slightly, and continued: "I think, besides Shao Rong, there are many other students present who are about to cross the threshold."

"It is an important turning point in your life. It means that from now on, you will take on greater responsibilities, and you will gradually mature and enter the ranks of adults."

"As adults, you no longer need too much advice and care; as adults, don't make people laugh at your youth and ignorance; as adults, you have the right to be adults, and you have to face yourself and face everything more confidently. .”

"It was a vibrant era, I hope you will cherish this beautiful moment forever in your memory!"

There was another burst of warm applause at the scene.

Shao Changgeng's deep voice echoed softly in the hall, like a melodious note knocking on his ears, a few simple words made the young people present excited.

Indeed, for everyone present, it was a watershed in life.Before, they had been obediently listening to the teacher while wearing school uniforms at school, but from now on, after breaking away from the group of childish middle school students, they can finally make decisions for themselves.

Today's dance is not only Shao Rong's birthday party, but also a happy patty for the students to enter adulthood. Seeing the students around them wearing all kinds of beautiful dresses, everyone's faces can't help showing smiles.

After Shao Changgeng finished speaking, a waiter pushed the birthday cake that had been prepared and handed it to him.

The cake is obviously custom-made, pineapple, strawberry, fresh orange, several kinds of fruits are intertwined and embellished, it looks very beautiful, the three-layer cake is big enough for everyone to share, and the top layer is written with red pectin "Shao Rong Happy Birthday" was a line of small words, and eighteen colored candles were inserted around it. The lights on the scene were turned off, the music of happy birthday to you was played, and everyone clapped their hands and sang the birthday song in unison.

In the darkness, Shao Changgeng pushed the cake cart and walked slowly towards Shao Rong. Under the dim candlelight, seeing his gentle gaze, Shao Rong was suddenly so moved that he couldn't be more moved.

"Father..." Shao Rong didn't know what to say, his eyes were red because he was so moved.

Shao Changgeng gently touched Shao Rong's head, and said softly, "Come on, make a wish first."

"En." Shao Rong closed his eyes, put his hands together, and made a pious wish.

Then with a smile, he blew out the candle in one breath.

The lights came on again, Shao Rong scooped up a knife to cut the cake, Shao Changgeng suddenly took Shao Rong's hand lightly.

"Let's cut together." Shao Changgeng said.

"En." Shao Rong nodded obediently.

The two cut the cake together like a couple at a wedding. Shao Changgeng stood beside Shao Rong, holding his hand. Go down, the cake is cut very neatly.

After cutting the cake, Shao Changgeng let go of Shao Rong's hand, smiled at everyone, and said, "Everyone do as you please, you're welcome."

The melodious music sounded, and the dance officially began.

On weekdays, the young couples who were secretly in love with their parents behind their backs boldly stepped onto the dance floor, and some girls nervously scooped up wine glasses and sipped red wine as a fresh attempt after "adulthood".

Shao Rong happily divided the cakes for everyone, and when he came back after sharing a circle, a little sweat was already oozing from his forehead.Stepping up to Shao Changgeng's side, Shao Rong said softly, "Father, my classmates say you are so handsome today."

Shao Changgeng smiled: "What about you?"

"……I?"

"Do you think Dad is handsome?"

"Of course. They are all envious of you. Only you are so careful and specially made a coming-of-age ceremony for me..." Shao Rong paused and said seriously, "Thank you dad, really, this is my happiest one. Birthday."

"You don't have to be so polite between us?"

"..." Shao Rong was a little embarrassed and looked away.

Shao Changgeng smiled slightly, and took out a necklace from his pocket, "It's for you, a birthday present."

Shao Rong took the necklace, only to find that it was an oval jade tablet, tied with a red string, with the word "Shao" engraved on it.This piece of jade is obviously not newly bought, because it is still warm, and it seems to have human body temperature.

"This is……"

"I have carried this piece of jade with me for many years, and I will give it to you today."

——It has been carried for many years, and it is still engraved with Shao characters. Could it be the treasure handed down from the Shao family?

Shao Rong was overwhelmed by the flattery, and even the palm of the hand holding Yu began to feel hot, "I...I can't accept it, this..."

"Take it." Shao Changgeng said lightly, "Is there any reason not to accept the birthday present?"

"But……"

"Come on, I'll tell you to put it on." Shao Changgeng took the necklace from Shao Rong, leaned over, put it on his neck carefully, opened the collar of the shirt with his hand, and put it inside gently.

Seeing Shao Rong blushing and happy, Shao Changgeng couldn't help leaning into his ear and whispering, "Baby, I love you"

Shao Rong was stunned for a moment, and then said emotionally, "I love you too, Dad."

Shao Changgeng raised the corners of his lips slightly.

——He knew that the "love" Shao Rong mentioned was not the kind he expected.

But what does this matter?

Shao Rong will always stay by his side, always following his surname Shao.

He didn't tell Shao Rong what this piece of jade really meant to the Shao family.

Every child of the Shao family will have a piece of jade chosen by their parents when they are born, and take it with them as a talisman for refuge.Although people born in medical families are all materialists, they have such an ancient and strange tradition. They stubbornly believe that the jade worn since childhood will bring good luck to the owner.

That piece of jade actually has another use.

It is as a keepsake, to give to the lover who I believe will be with me for a lifetime.
