The sound of cicadas outside the window stopped, and the winter wind blew through the tree branches, turning the blue into withered yellow and covering the path.The third year of high school seems to be full of strings, and the tension is coming.

And Luming's voice also followed.

In the last class on Friday afternoon, the sound of students from other classes finishing the get out of class could be heard in the corridor, while those in Luming's class were still having a class meeting.

Their class teacher is notoriously nagging throughout the department. After a class, he hasn't finished speaking.

Song Ran lay on the table looking at the math paper she had just finished, and sighed: "My mother, I finished my math paper, and she hasn't finished the lecture yet."

At this time, the head teacher clapped his hands, looked at the students sitting below who were eager to return home, and concluded: "Students who are not used to the rhythm of the third year of high school need to adjust as soon as possible. The round of review is over half, everyone should cheer up .”

"Okay, that's the end of today's class meeting. See you guys on Monday."

As soon as the words fell, there was a messy sound of packing things in the class. Song Ran quickly packed her schoolbag and said, "Really, it's rare that Lu Ming's birthday falls on a Friday this year, and the old class is still nagging like this."

"Yeah..." Lu Ming sighed, she thought that Xi Wang must be at home by this time.

Zhao Rin watched the three walk out of the classroom, and couldn't help complaining: "Your class is really too slow."

"Okay, let's go quickly." Yu Sheng urged behind several people.

Passing through the flow of people after school, several people sat in the car that came to pick Lu Ming home.

Zhao Lin sat in the co-pilot, and Lu Ming, Yu Sheng, and Song Ran sat in the back row. Everyone wore thick clothes in winter, and it was a bit crowded for the three of them to sit in the back row with their schoolbags in their arms.

With an idea, Song Ran put his schoolbag on Zhao Rin's shoulder, nodded, and motioned, "Help us carry the schoolbag."

"Okay, give it all to me." Zhao Rin stretched his hand back, and all three schoolbags were hung on his arms, and his arms fell down because of the weight, "Wow, do you have stones in your schoolbags?"

Song Ran ignored Zhao Rin's complaints, twisted comfortably on the seat, and said, "The head teacher asked us to determine the goal of the college entrance examination as soon as possible. Which university do you plan to take?"

Lu Ming shook his head, "I haven't made up my mind yet..."

Zhao Rin held four schoolbags and said, "I'm going abroad."

"Me too." Yu Sheng agreed.

Song Ran was taken aback, and looked at Yu Sheng over Lu Ming: "Are you really sure?"

Yu Sheng nodded, "I really want to give it a try. If I can't apply, I will take the college entrance examination with you again."

Lu Ming was a little worried, "Then if it doesn't succeed, won't our review be missed?"

Yu Sheng shook his head, "No, I just need to work harder on English because IELTS is required. But generally speaking, there is no problem."

Lu Ming nodded half-understood, "Is that so..."

Yu Sheng glanced at Lu Ming and asked, "Do you want to go abroad?"

Lu Ming shook his head upon hearing the sound, "Going abroad is very expensive, I don't really think about it."

Zhao Rin interjected, "Although it's expensive, Aunt Xi won't disagree, right?"

When Lu Ming heard Xi Wang, he couldn't help feeling a little bit conflicted about this matter, and he didn't even want to go abroad.

Yu Sheng sat quietly by the side, taking Lu Ming's reaction into his eyes, and there was an indescribable light in his eyes.

However, Song Ran "hummed" and interrupted Yu Sheng's thoughts, "Yu Sheng, you are too biased. I said to go abroad to accompany you, why didn't you let me go."

Yu Sheng withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'll go out with you alone and come back with three people."

"..."

Song Ran slumped and had nothing to say.

Zhao Rin's ruthless ridicule came from the front row, "Hahahahaha..."

"You're still laughing!" Song Ran was ashamed and annoyed, and stretched out his hand to give Zhao Rin a knife.

The car suddenly became a mess again.

Lu Ming was holding back and laughing.

It's kind of mean.

Just like that, a few people came to Xi's house playing and playing, and the driver obeyed the order and parked the car directly in the backyard.

The dead branches are hung with small white lights, brightly lit, in the dark world, like stars in the sky, extraordinarily beautiful.

"Wow, this is so pretty!" Song Ran couldn't help sighing.

"Yeah, it's really pretty." Yu Sheng also agreed and got out of the car.

Lu Ming looked at the dream in an area, his face couldn't stop his joy.

She never thought that she would have such an exquisite coming-of-age ceremony, nor did she think that she would be surrounded by friends and family on the day she became an adult.

She got out of the car, glanced at the small dim banquet, looked for Xi Wang who was sitting next to Wang Manyan, and ran over, "Aunt Xi, we are here!"

Lu Ming ran very fast, and Yu Sheng watched her running towards Xi Wang's back, and couldn't help but think of the day when she performed a drama in her sophomore year.

She also ran like this, abandoning herself and looking for Xi Wang.

Yu Sheng stood where he was, and couldn't help but feel a little more unwilling and helpless in his eyes.

The koi pond is filled with running water throughout the year from spring to winter, and maintains a certain temperature. Only in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month will it freeze for a few days.A pool of clear water shimmered under the light, which added a bit of artistic conception to the birthday party.

Everyone sat down under Aunt Xu's call. Lu Ming was the protagonist today, and it was the first time that he took the main seat.

Xi Wang sat beside Lu Ming in silence, while Yu Sheng was also sitting on the other side of Lu Ming.

Xi Wang looked at Yu Sheng calmly, then turned his gaze away.

A gust of cold wind blew past, caressing her hair, she raised her hand when Aunt Xu was about to pour juice for Lu Ming, signaling not to use it.Then he picked up the wine on the side, and kissed the long-necked wine bottle on the champagne glass in Lu Ming's hand.

Xi Wang: "You will be an adult today, you can drink a little wine."

Her voice was as cold as ever, but there was a bit of amiability in the aura that made people dare not take a breath.

Lu Ming sat at the side, and saw very clearly the only jewelry on Xi Wang's wrist - the braided rope she gave her.

It seems that since the day she gave the braided rope to Xi Wang, she hasn't taken it off again.

At least when she noticed it, she carried it with her.

The little girl sniffed the cold fragrance from Xi Wang's body, and felt a little bit of joy in her heart.

She looked at the small glass of champagne, and nodded obediently, "Thank you, Aunt Xi."

Aunt Xu and her servants finished serving and retreated to one side.

Song Ran booed at this moment: "Shou Xing has to say a few words before the banquet begins!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Rin also echoed.

Hearing this, Lu Ming was a little shy and nervous, and subconsciously looked at Xi Wang who was sitting beside him.

——the person she would look at first no matter what happened to her.

It's just that this time, Xi Wang was unusual, she was looking at him like everyone else.

The dark pupils are rare and quiet, like a still vast universe, deep and beautiful, and give countless powers to those who look at each other.

"Say a few words." Xi Wang said softly.

Lu Ming took a light breath, mustered up the courage to hold the wine glass that Xi Wang poured for her and stood up.

The little girl thought for a moment, then pursed her lips lightly, and said, "I only have one wish today, and that is that everyone can get what they wish this year."

"Okay!" Song Ran and Zhao Rin, the two atmosphere groups, applauded with all their might.

Even Wang Manyan, who was sitting on the side, applauded. Lu Ming felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and sat down after taking a sip of his wine.

The wine was not very tasty, it was so spicy that it pierced his throat, and for a moment Lu Ming felt that his tongue was going to go numb.

But when she sat down and looked at Xi Wang, she sipped the wine glass lightly, took a sip of the wine with her thin lips, and there was no ripple between her brows.

That expressionless look, on the contrary, against the background of the moonlight, looked extraordinarily refined.

Lu Ming stared secretly, sipping the remaining alcohol on his lips.

Suddenly it wasn't so difficult to accept.

It is said that he is an adult, but to Lu Ming, it is just an obvious line.

She will not suddenly become like Aunt Wang Manyan or Xi Wang just because she is an adult today.

Even Zhao Rin, who has grown up for more than half a year, couldn't do it. After the four of them had dinner, they started the reserved item that they had to do every year on their birthdays - wipe the cake.

Xiao Wu was also released from the house by Aunt Xu, and ran among the four of them, wagging his tail.For a while, the backyard was rarely filled with innocent voices among children.

"Look at this group of children." Sitting next to Xi Wang, Wang Manyan looked at the four children and a dog with interest, "It's still like a child at this age."

Xi Wang leaned on the table, his gaze stayed on Lu Ming.

When she heard Wang Manyan's words, she couldn't help curling her lips.

She hoped that Lu Ming could continue to be happy like a child.

It was dark and the lights were dim, and Lu Ming drank a few sips of wine, and she began to feel that her footsteps became weak after being overwhelmed by alcohol.

It's just that Song Ran's voice came from behind her, and Lu Ming was still running with a smile in response to his body's instinct...

"careful!"

Yu Sheng gave an exceptionally loud reminder.

In the next second, there was a "plop!" from the laughing banquet venue, which was still full of laughter

The water splashed and drenched a piece of the surrounding lawn.

Lu Ming stepped on a stone beside the koi pond that she thought was an ordinary stone. The moss was wet and slippery, and the little girl slipped and fell into the koi pond unprepared.

The pool water poured into Luming's nostrils, and the sour taste numbed her brain.

Unable to breathe, unable to struggle, Lu Ming shook his arms wildly, but found himself sinking deeper into the pool in despair.

Who will save her.

Aunt Xi...

Xi Wang, help me.

At this moment, a cool hand wrapped around Lu Ming's waist, holding her in his arms.

She saw Xi Wang's cold face, immersed in the bitingly cold winter pool.

Lu Ming hugged Xi Wang tightly, as if embracing her savior.

Or desperate to save his beloved.
