longing

The days of making up lessons and writing questions every day came to an end on the 29th of the Lunar New Year. Xu Yu had dinner with Duan Hefang and the others in the evening. When they parted, he took out the prepared New Year's gift from his schoolbag and handed it to them.

"Happy New Year!" Xu Yu smiled shyly.

Cen Suisui was a little surprised: "Thank you! Happy New Year, Xu Wei!"

Duan Hefang took the bag and said softly, "Don't worry about it."

"Hey." Xu Wei scratched the back of his head, his fingertips were tingled by the hair, and he quickly put his hand down again, "I'm very happy this year, and I made a lot of new friends."

He sneaked a glance at Duan Hefang, only to find that the other party was also looking at him, so he hurriedly smiled.

On the way home, Duan Hefang opened the gift from Xu Wei, which was a very soft scarf, and he immediately took it out and put it around his neck.Cen Suisui also wore it at home, and posted a photo in the group, the style is the same as Duan Hefang's, but hers is pink, and Duan Hefang's is white, bought for Xue Mo It should be black.

Because it was inconvenient to type while walking, Duan Hefang simply sent a private voice message to Xu Wei, mixed with the wind: "The scarf is very beautiful, I like it very much, thank you."

Xu Wei was stunned when he received the voice. He quickly clicked on it and listened to it again. His head was still a little out of tune, so he listened to it again, and listened to it twice before typing a reply.

After typing and deleting the words "You're welcome" and "As long as you like it" in the dialog box, Xu Wei felt that it would be more polite to reply if he received a voice message. He cleared his throat again and said: " You're welcome."

A little stiff, Xu Wei slid to delete, and pressed the voice button to say it again.

After he struggled for a few minutes with what tone to speak and failed, Duan Hefang sent another voice over.

"There is also a box of pecans, did you peel them?"

Xu Yu typed quickly with his sore fingers pierced by the pecan husk: No.

He sent a voice with a trembling tangled voice, and asked softly: "Uh, that, do you like pecans?"

"like."

Xu Yu listened to this voice more than ten times over and over again, and Duan Hefang almost recited it to his ears.

The school starts soon after the Spring Festival, and the urgent study does not leave much time for the senior high school students. They rush back to school after the Chinese New Year to meet the exams again and again.

What is worth looking forward to is that Xu Wei's birthday is on February No. 12. In the early spring when it was warm and cold, Xu Wei ushered in his birthday.

But about his upcoming birthday, Xu Wei didn't tell anyone about it until lunch the day before his birthday, when he said a little bit coyly: "Well, let's go to my house for dinner tomorrow afternoon. "

"Going to your house?" Cen Suisui asked in surprise.

"Yes, my birthday is tomorrow."

"Ah, tomorrow? I haven't even had time to prepare a birthday present for you!"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't give me a gift, my mother said that she wants to invite you to my house for dinner."

"Okay, then let's go to your house together after school tomorrow afternoon." While talking, Duan Hefang's eyes accidentally fell on Xu Yu's dinner plate. The dishes are a bit familiar.After eating, Duan Hefang went to the canteen to buy a few bottles of drinks, brought peach-flavored sparkling water for Xu Yu, and asked casually, "Is it your birthday?"

Xu Wei blushed and nodded.

"Then you are a bit older than Xue Mo and Cen Suisui."

"What about you?" Xu Yu asked.

"I'm one year older than all of you, and I was already full last year." Duan Hefang unscrewed the lid of the drink vigorously, "But I don't like birthdays very much."

Cen Suisui and Xue Mo walked in front, and they walked side by side and chatted.

"Because my mum was physically traumatized when she had me, I didn't really like to celebrate that day."

Xu Yu understood and nodded.

"But I still love it for my friends' birthdays."

Xu Wei grinned, stuck out his tongue and rolled the peach stains from the corner of his lips into his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste smacked between his teeth.

Cen Suisui took Xue Mo and Duan Hefang to pick out gifts for Xu Yu after school that day. She had some headaches and didn't know what gifts would be more suitable for boys.

"I originally wanted to buy a scarf for him, but Xu Wei gave it to us during the Chinese New Year. Hey, he seems to have bought one himself."

"How about I send him a basketball?" Xue Mo said.

"Come on, Xu Yu doesn't like playing basketball, so he can only stay at home to take up space." Cen Suisui quickly glanced at the dazzling array of products, turned around and asked Duan Hefang, "Brother Duan, what are you planning to buy?"

Duan Hefang pointed to an electronic equipment store not far away, and said, "Buy him a small speaker, I think Xu Ting likes to listen to music very much."

"Not bad." Cen Suisui thought for a while, "Then let's go to the bakery in front of the school to order a cake tomorrow, and then go get it in the afternoon."

Xue Mo nodded: "How big is it?"

"Did Xu Wei invite other friends?"

Duan Hefang was startled: "Probably not."

Xu Wei's social circle in class is pitifully small, let alone make friends in other classes. He has a slow temper, and it takes a while before he can talk to others a little bit. Fast high school life is not popular.

"Think about what to buy again. I'll go pick out the speakers first." Duan Hefang walked towards the store with strides, and turned around to tell Cen Suisui: "Sui Sui, don't buy ones with exaggerated prices, Xu Yu will be very upset." pressured."

Cen Suisui immediately withdrew his idea of ​​buying an expensive watch for Xu Wei, and nodded honestly: "Okay bro."

The three of them met Xu Wei's mother at the parent meeting, and high school students rarely made friends and visited the house. As soon as Duan Hefang walked in, he felt the kind of familiarity when he was a child, and he smiled politely. He said hello to uncle and aunt, then changed his shoes and went into the living room.

"You guys go to the 楒楒 room to play for a while, and I will call you later for dinner." Xu's mother smiled and said, "Oh, why did you bring a cake? Auntie bought it. I can't finish it later."

"It's okay, auntie, you can put it in the refrigerator."

"Okay, let's go play."

"Hey Xu, which room is yours?"

Xu Wei subconsciously rubbed the tear mole beside his eyes, led the way and pushed open the door of his room, he whispered: "It might be a little messy."

It wasn't very messy, because Xu Wei spent some time cleaning up last night, threw all the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and then folded the clothes and quilts on the bed neatly.There were several bosom friends and "Fights Break Sphere" crowded on his bookshelf, Xue Mo asked with interest: "You like to read this too?"

"I especially liked it when I was in junior high school." Xu Wei subconsciously stood in front of his desk.

"Boys in our class used to like to watch this, and that Charlie the few."

"Charles IX." Duan Hefang corrected Cen Suisui softly.

"Did you watch this too?"

Xu Wei's tone seemed to be saying how a boring good student like Duan Hefang would like to read such so-called useless extracurricular books, Duan Hefang smiled and shook his head: "Then I don't read it every day. Only study, no entertainment."

Xu Wei couldn't see him smiling.

"Well, I bought soda, I'll get it for you."

The ever-changing peach-flavored sparkling water.

"Xu Wei, your taste is so similar to Brother Duan's."

"Ah? Ah... this tastes delicious."

Duan Hefang grinned: "I think so too."

"Hey, is this another version of your Chinese language book?" Duan Hefang took two steps forward, leaning against Xu Wei's desk and asked.

Xu Wei immediately jumped to the desk and held down the basic language document in a protective posture: "Which one do you want to read? I'll get it for you.

"Hahahaha, did Xu Wei suppress the shameful book?" Cen Suisui giggled.

"Nothing!"

The three of them took advantage of this gap to give gifts to Xu Wei. Duan Hefang originally only bought a small speaker, but when he was shopping, he saw a very delicate and beautiful Walkman MP3, so they bought it together for Xu Wei, Xu Wei Don't mention the surprise when I opened the box, I couldn't hide my love in my eyebrows and eyes.

"Wearing headphones to listen to music all the time is not good for your ears, so I bought this for you." Duan Hefang explained.

"Thank you." Xu Wei smiled and looked up at Duan Hefang, "I like it very much."

Xu's mother was in a good mood during the meal, and had a good time chatting with them. Contrary to Xu Wei's personality, Xu's mother is a very talkative, beautiful woman, and she is very kind. She is willing to chat with them for a few minutes about everything. In short, the dinner table is very harmonious and joyful.

"I didn't bring friends home to play before. I wondered if he was too withdrawn and couldn't make friends."

"Mom! You said this again."

"Hey, but did Xu Wei talk about his girlfriend at school?"

Cold sweat broke out on Xu Wei's forehead. His own mother was asking his crush if he had ever fallen in love, and such a psychedelic thing happened to him.

"Xu Wei doesn't know how to fall in love. Auntie, look at the three of them. They play with a big beauty like me every day. How can they think other girls are good-looking."

"Smelly shameless." Xue Mo scolded.

"Last time, I saw him seriously peeling the pecan fruit. I don't know who peeled the pecan flesh. That's serious. I wondered which little girl with thin skin and tender flesh peeled it for." Xu's mother joked.

"Mom!" Xu Yu said anxiously.

Duan Hefang was startled, subconsciously prepared to say: "Give it to me..."

The word was stuck in his throat, and he found that Cen Suisui and Xue Mo hadn't spoken, and no one had mentioned any memory about the pecan pulp. Duan Hefan silently took a piece of meat to Xu Wei, and decided to watch it. Looking at him, and caught the panic in the other's eyes at the moment when the eyes met, Duan Hefang lightly licked his lower lip: "Happy birthday, Xu Wei."

After they finished eating, they took apart the cake, Xu Yu put on his birthday hat, made a wish and blew out the candles, not daring to look at Duan Hemu the whole time.What his mother said just now has exposed his flaws. If Duan Hefang asked, he could only tell a lie that everyone gave it to him, but it was too easy to be exposed, and Xu Wei panicked. It seems that in the next second Duan Hefang is going to be unbearable and lift up the table, asking him if he is hiding his dirty love by his side, and if he will regret that kind smile on the track and field and eating as a friend with the first meal in the cafeteria In retrospect, I feel very distressed, and put a very strange person by my side with my own hands.

Xu Wei could only answer with a choked throat: "It's not a dirty liking..."

Xu Wei was flustered and anxious, and when he sang the birthday song, he met Duan Hefang's eyes, under the faint candlelight.Duan Hefang's brows and eyes looked extraordinarily gentle, and there was a complicated light in the bottom of his eyes, so frightened that Xu Wei hurriedly closed his eyes and made a wish.

If possible, I hope Duan Hefang will never know that I like him.
