Window 2, Seventh Canteen

Jiang Wei always felt that something was wrong with Han Zilu.

Although he used to feel that he was elusive occasionally, it was not as serious as it is now. It seems that since returning home for this holiday, Han Zilu has become more silent than before.

He often stays alone, smoking or teasing the captain. He used to bicker with Jiang Wei for fun, but recently he seldom does.

Han Zilu's silence is not gloomy, but very gentle. He will find out Jiang Wei's needs in advance and take care of him meticulously.

Such days are very comfortable, but Jiang Wei always feels abnormal.

He wanted to find a time to sit down with Han Zilu and say a few more words, but there was no suitable opportunity. Han Zilu was really busy with work recently.

Jiang Wei went to wait for him to get off work almost every night. He worked overtime for half an hour on average every day, and he could not leave until 09:30, so it was almost eleven o'clock when the two of them got home, and they should go to bed after taking a shower.

After a week like this, without a chance to speak, Jiang Wei's pimple in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

That girl named Li Qian went to Han Zilu three times in this week, each time for a reason, either by accident or coincidence, but there are so many coincidences, even a blind man can see that she is interested in Han Zilu.

Of course, Han Zilu's behavior was always polite and alienated. In Jiang Wei's eyes, this was an obvious rejection, but in the eyes of other girls, it may not be the case.

For unknown reasons, women seem to be more likely to misunderstand than men, and they will continue to process what they see in their brains, and then understand it as what they want to see.

Although the girl herself always said that she was a friend, Shaojiang Wei felt that she must like Han Zilu, and she would be mistaken. Maybe she took Han Zilu's refusal as restraint and alienation as character.

Jiang Wei was actually upset all the time, but thinking of Han Zilu's apology at that time, he didn't want to mention it to him again. After all, Han Zilu was right about it. His attitude towards the girl was obviously rejecting, but he didn't Just say it directly.

Moreover, Jiang Wei can't force him to do anything about his own affairs, he should let him choose how to solve it.

Jiang's father taught him that no matter making friends or falling in love, he must leave space for each other, so that he can last for a long time.

The reason is easy to understand, but it is difficult to do.

Regarding this matter, Jiang Wei always wanted to find a chance to talk to Han Zilu.

Calculating the time, it will be Han Zilu's birthday soon, and we will definitely help him celebrate when the time comes. The two of them finally have time to stay for a while, and when the time comes, make good preparations and say a few more words when there is an opportunity.

Jiang Wei took out the lacquer box hidden in the cabinet, opened it carefully, and looked at the beautifully textured kitchen knife inside.

It has been more than half a year since I bought it, and I have been trying to find a suitable time to give it to Zilu. After much deliberation, it is still suitable for my birthday, so I dragged it until now.

Jiang Wei looked at it for a long time, then put away the kitchen knife again, and squatted in front of the cabinet, resting his cheeks in a daze.

Locker, lock in the locker, or get out of the locker has never been a problem for him, but it is Zilu's problem.

The captain was playing with toys, maybe seeing Jiang Wei squatting for fun, he jumped on his back, threw himself on his shoulder and meowed.

Jiang Wei grabbed him, opened his belly and ravaged him.

"Silly hat, tell me, what exactly is your second father thinking?"

"Meow meow meow—"

"You said... your second daddy wouldn't want to find you a mother, would he? He wouldn't want to find someone to marry, would he?" At this point, he shook his head desperately, "No, no, no, Zilu is not this kind of person .”

But Han Zilu is a few years older than him, and the family pressure seems to be very high. If he really considers getting married, it is normal. Although Jiang Wei has never really been in contact with the gay circle, he still has common sense. Anyway, they all plan to get married in the end, especially one.

Although Han Zilu is not one, from his appearance to his personality, he doesn't look like a zero at all. Even if he wants to get married, no one can tell that he is gay...

Realizing that he was thinking wildly again, Jiang Wei shook his head vigorously, hugged the captain and went to play games together.

At the beginning of the new semester, the topics of the students revolved around the topic of the thesis and the direction of the graduation project. Occasionally, there were incidental discussions about postgraduate entrance examinations and going abroad. Jiang Wei listened to their discussions and imagined with them the direction after graduation. Han Zilu.

Zilu works as a cook in Beijing, so he can't go far, right?So the plan for graduation is probably to submit a resume to find a job and stay in Beijing.

If you want to find a job easily, then it is best not to choose pottery as the direction of the graduate school. Daily-use porcelain is more advantageous, so the location of the graduate school...

This year's daily-use porcelain direction is guided by Mr. Li, and the location is set in Chaozhou.

That place is much farther than Jingdezhen, so Zilu probably wouldn't go that far to see him.

At that time, it will take three months to separate, which is enough to suffer.

Jiang Wei went to open the cabinet again to look at the presents he had prepared, and it would be Han Zilu's birthday in a few hours, so he took out the box to check and feel it if he was free, as if he was afraid that it might disappear.

At 59:[-] that night, Jiang Wei rushed into the bathroom on time, hugged Han Zilu who was taking a bath, pushed him against the wall and began to kiss.

After the kiss was over, Jiang Wei held Han Zilu's face with her hair covered.

"Happy birthday!"

Han Zilu laughed, "I'm still wondering, why did you suddenly rush in and kiss me? How do you know it's my birthday?"

Jiang Wei: "How could I not know about such an important day." She rubbed her face on the side of Han Zilu's neck while speaking.

Han Zilu touched Jiang Wei's hair and shaved the water off his face, "Thank you, but it's not my birthday today."

Jiang Wei: "Huh? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"

Han Zilu: "The date on my ID card is wrong."

Jiang Wei: "Damn it, isn't it, when is your birthday?"

Han Zilu: "My birthday is at the end of September."

Jiang Wei was speechless, "Why didn't you say it earlier? It means that I missed one of your birthdays? At the end of September, we've already gotten along by then, why didn't you say it?"

Han Zilu: "You didn't even ask."

Jiang Wei: "Why didn't I ask me? Didn't I just tell you when you helped me celebrate my birthday? I asked when you said you would celebrate your birthday for me. It was too early for you to tell me."

Han Zilu hugged Jiang Wei's head with a smile, "Anyway, thank you for celebrating my birthday. Although it's not today, I'm very happy when you think about it, really."

Jiang Wei: "But I..." The cake and presents are all ready.

Han Zilu: "You bought a cake, right? It's fine, just eat it now. Although the date is wrong, the birthday on the ID card is also counted as a birthday."

"Okay, it's okay, just treat it as your two birthdays a year, just wait, I'll get it now, let's eat the cake first, and then go out to play tomorrow, I have prepared a lot of projects!" If you make a mistake, you can make a mistake. You can’t just cancel the KTV private room and dinner items that you bought and booked!

In fact, the date on the ID card is not wrong, Han Zilu's birthday is indeed in March, but since he changed his home, this birthday is meaningless to him.

The end of September was the day when he officially recognized Han Tiesheng as his father. For him, that day was his real birthday.

Han Zilu turned off the water valve, wrapped the towel and walked out of the bathroom.

It was very cold in Beijing in March. When he entered the house, there was a small layer of goosebumps on his shoulders. Seeing Jiang Wei dealing with the cake box naked, Han Zilu hurriedly followed him and wrapped him in a bath towel.

The cake box was opened to reveal a beautiful square cake with a small sign on it, "Happy Birthday Zilu" and a smiling face.

Han Zilu smiled, "Did you ask the baker to draw this smiling face for you?"

Jiang Wei started to look for candles, "Master almost turned against me, just because of this, I asked him to make it again several times."

This is Jiang Wei's first time buying a birthday cake for Han Zilu, and he didn't know what flavor he likes, so he chose the Black Forest.

This cake is a must-have item in almost every store, but Han Zilu doesn't like chocolate with high sweetness, Jiang Wei deliberately found a lot of stores, and then bought this cake, some of the chocolates have a concentration of more than 70, and the taste is slightly bitter , It will slowly melt in the mouth, revealing the unique sweetness of cocoa between the teeth.

"How many candles to put in..." Jiang Wei pondered, "Can this little cake hold more than [-] candles..."

Han Zilu took the candle and only took out one, "This is your first birthday for me, so let's just have one."

Jiang Wei smiled, "By the way, you can still pretend that you are only one year old."

Han Zilu lit the candles and turned off the lights.

The two stood in front of the table wrapped in a bath towel, the dancing fire reflected on their faces, and their smiles were filled with joy and warmth.

"Make a wish, make it yourself, don't say it." Jiang Wei held Han Zilu's hand.

Han Zilu closed his eyes, paused for a while and then opened them again, "Okay."

Jiang Wei subconsciously asked, "What wish."

"You just said you couldn't say it."

"Okay, okay, blow out the candles, three, two, one, hoo-"

"Happy birthday!"

"They say it's not a birthday."

"It's okay, you have two birthdays a year, and I will give you two in the future."

They held the plastic knife together and were about to strike when Jiang Wei suddenly called to stop.

"Wait! Wait a minute!" An idea popped into his mind—after all, this is also the first birthday cake. Instead of using this plastic knife, it is better to use the kitchen knife he gave to cut it. Commemorative significance.

In a blink of an eye, he found the beautifully wrapped gift box from the cabinet, took it out and handed it to Han Zilu. At this time, he was still naked, and Han Zilu was still only wrapped in a bath towel.

Jiang Wei couldn't help but sneezed, and then remembered that Han Zilu was also cold, so she hurriedly dragged him to the hut, let him sit on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.

This small bed is occasionally used to take a nap, and the quilt is also kept all year round, so it is convenient at the moment.

After stacking all the gift cakes on the bed, Jiang Wei also got into the quilt and stayed next to Han Zilu Guangliu. First, he found his hand and put it in his palm to warm it up. Then he hugged the gift box again and handed it over Let him take it apart.

Jiang Wei bought the big cardboard box from IKEA, but the pattern on it was drawn by him himself. Various vegetables and fruits were changed into Q version, and a pair of round eyes were added to make funny expressions. In the soup bowl, some are lying on the chopping board.

Han Zilu looked at these patterns carefully, and his smile became stronger and stronger, "You are all painted like this, how can I take it apart?"

Jiang Wei pointed to the bottom of the box, "It's okay, you can take it apart, I've reserved all the places, so the box won't be damaged."

Han Zilu inspected it carefully for a long time before removing the first layer of packaging.

Inside the carton is a small linen bag. The plain linen bag has a square cotton cloth stuck in the middle. A pair of cartoon heads are printed on the cloth. Although the lines are simple, it can be seen at a glance that it is a painting. Jiang Wei and Han Zilu were left.

Han Zilu pursed his lips and opened the bag. When the glossy lacquer surface was exposed from the cloth bag, Han Zilu obviously stopped for a moment, and turned his head to look at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei grinned, "Do you still remember the box?"

Han Zilu: "Of course I remember." He took out the lacquer box and looked at it carefully.

Jiang Wei urged, "Open it, open it, and you still say that I bought the box and returned the pearls, so you just look at the box."

Han Zilu looked at it for a long time before he took the kitchen knife out of the lacquer box and held it in his palm carefully like a fragile item, "When did you buy it?"

Jiang Wei: "After delivering it to you, I will buy it when I get back. I dare not delay, for fear of being snatched away by others."

Han Zilu was silent for a while, "Thank you."

Jiang Wei: "Thank you for telling me, do you like it?"

Han Zilu: "Are you asking for praise or a reward?"

"Is it all right?"

Han Zilu didn't speak, he picked up a small corner of the cake with a knife, put it in his lips, and leaned over to kiss Jiang Wei.

The cake is soft, the chocolate is mellow, the cherry has a slight bouquet, sweet and sour, the creamy cream wraps the tip of the tongue, and the fragrance spreads in the mouth as you chase it.

Han Zilu intentionally pushed the cream to Jiang Wei, and after he swallowed it, he stopped and licked his lips, ending this special kiss.

It became hot inside the quilt, and Jiang Wei's part had fully stood up, and it was touching Han Zilu's leg at this moment. He wanted to push Han Zilu down directly, but he glanced at the cake and held back.

Touching Han Zilu's shoulder, "Hurry up, cut the cake first."

Han Zilu: "Alright, let's eat the cake first, then you."
