The benefactor is always forcing me to study

The other guests in the restaurant also knew that this was someone's birthday celebration, and they all looked around curiously, wanting to know who is today's birthday star. Cen Zhi was also curious, and then watched the waiter push the cake trolley towards him come over.

Cen Zhi: "???"

Cen Zhi looked at the waiter who stopped in front of him. The three-tiered cake was gorgeous and sweet, with sixteen candles stuck on it. The surrounding guests enthusiastically sang Happy Birthday to you. Dumbly looked at the onlookers, then at Wen Qiang, and finally realized: "You!"

In the candlelight, Wen Qiang's smile was so gentle that people almost drowned in it: "Today is your 16th birthday, don't you remember?"

Cen Zhi froze, and today's date automatically popped up in his mind—May [-]th.

This day, which is endowed with the meaning of "love" by modern people, is his birthday, and it is also the day he...he least wants to think of.

In his memory from childhood to adulthood, these three numbers are like some kind of spell, engraved in his flesh and blood. When others are looking forward to his birthday, he dare not express his longing, because no one will Celebrate him, and no one will be happy for him. After he grows up, he understands why, so he simply forgets that this day is his birthday, and no one will remember it anyway.

He has always thought so.

Until today, someone remembered, not only remembered, but also gave him scenes that seemed to only exist in TV dramas.

Cen Zhi blinked in a panic, suppressing the soreness in his eyes. Fortunately, the candlelight was dim, and no one noticed his momentary hesitation and unnaturalness. Wen Qiang got up and walked to his side: "Happy birthday, let's make a wish."

In the layer upon layer of blessing songs, Cen Zhi closed his eyes, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of any wishes, only Wen Qiang's appearance was very clear.

Wen Qiang watched the young boy make such a wish for a few minutes, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey, it's too much to make so many wishes, hurry up and blow out the candles."

Cen Zhi blushed, took a deep breath and blew out the candles. The moment the candles went out, the soft wall lamps in the dining room were lit up. Wen Qiang cut two pieces of cake for himself, and asked the waiter to distribute them to everyone present. other guests.

Wen Qiang gave both cakes to Cen Zhi: "Eat it, I know you are not full."

Cen Zhi's face was still red, he picked up a small fork and poked it on the soft cake base, and the jam filled inside flowed out, which made people's index fingers move. Cen Zhi was silent for a long time before murmuring: "Thank you."

Thank you for letting me know how it feels to celebrate a birthday.

The two pieces of cake not only filled his stomach, but also filled his heart. After returning to the apartment, Cen Zhi went back to the room, lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling. After a while, he turned over and got out of bed, and found a piece of cake from his suitcase. A very old very old photo.

The photo shows a young man and woman, the woman is wearing a skirt, and the man is holding the woman's waist. The two are happily snuggling together, looking at Cen Zhi tenderly through time and space.

There is a line of small words on the back of the photo: "Cen Ting and Jiang Xinmei were photographed on October 10, and Xinmei was 14 days pregnant."

This is the only "family photo" owned by Cen Zhi.

Cen Zhi caressed the corners of the photo. He made a plastic cover for this photo, for fear that he would accidentally damage it. He seldom took it out to look at it, and only hid it in the clip pocket of the suitcase.

Cen Zhi stared at it silently for a while, and before putting it back, he said a word: "I met a very good person, so it doesn't matter if you are not here."

It didn't take long for Cen Zhi's mobile phone to start thinking about it continuously. They were all birthday wishes, from Jin Qiong, Xu Zhezhi, Liu Xunxue, and Ke Heng. Ke Heng said that he is already on the set, otherwise I can still go to celebrate his birthday, Cen Zhi said that it doesn't matter, as long as he wants it.

As soon as the birthday is over, the college entrance examination is coming. Not many people know about Cen Zhi's participation in the college entrance examination. Chong Yu has a holiday three days before the exam, so that students can go back to adjust their status. Cen Zhi is still in school. He and Zhao Han found Cen Zhi, both of them were in good condition, Xia Meng handed him a small gift box: "I prepared this for your birthday, I have been preparing for the exam recently, so I delayed it until today to give it to you."

Cen Zhi was a little flustered, and waved his hands again and again: "No need."

Zhao Han said, "Just accept it, it's not a valuable item."

Cen Zhi hesitated for a moment before taking it, and Xia Meng immediately smiled: "After I finish the college entrance examination, I will be able to give my cubs to others wholeheartedly!"

A blush appeared on Cen Zhi's cheeks: "Thank you senior sister, let's work hard together for the exam!"

Xia Meng nodded, and left with Zhao Han without staying any longer.

Halfway through the walk, Zhao Han wondered, "What do you mean by cheering together?"

Xia Meng smiled ambitiously: "Whatever he means, I'm finally going to get out of the sea of ​​suffering! After the college entrance examination, I will be the president of my cub's fan support club!"

Zhao Han: "..."

The day of the exam was sunny and cloudless. Cen Zhi's exam room was in another school. Wen Qiang personally sent him to the exam room. The school gate was crowded with people. Cen Zhi suddenly became a little nervous. He almost wanted to say that I didn't take the exam and let's go back.

Wen Qiang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, it's just an ordinary exam, it doesn't matter if you fail the exam."

People around who heard this sentence: "..." Can you stop disturbing the momentum!

Cen Zhi took a deep breath, walked into the campus and found his examination room. After passing the inspection, the examination room was almost full of people, no one spoke, and the air was tense. When the first bell rang, the invigilator began to talk about the examination rules and hand out test papers , the second bell rang, and the exam officially started.

The time of the exam passed very quickly. At first, Cen Zhi was so nervous that his hands trembled, and he almost wrote his name wrong. He paused for a moment, calmed down amidst the rustling noises around him, and carefully read the test paper and answered the questions.

Two days of exams passed by in a flash, and on the day of the exam, Cen Zhi felt relieved. Wen Qiang walked out of the school with the crowd, and Wen Qiang was still waiting at the school gate. When Wen Qiang saw him, he went up to him and took him directly go home.

Although Wen Qiang didn't ask, Cen Zhi recorded his answers for each subject based on his own memory and sent them to Ling Zheng. After the college entrance examination, the test papers and answers came out. If I remember correctly, Ling Zheng can help him estimate the approximate score.

On the next Monday, Cen Zhi, who quietly took the college entrance examination, went to school as usual, and then came the final exam, which is more important to him now. The final exam is at the beginning of July. Fifty... The consequences are disastrous.

But at this moment, in the office, Wen Qiang received a message from Ling Zheng: "The estimated score is around 540, and the error is very large. If there is no accident, Cen Zhi will be able to get to the first line."

Wen Qiang couldn't help smiling, and he made an internal call to Yu Ming: "Give me a list of the scripts that are going to be filmed recently and whose important roles have not yet been determined."
