very partial

Jiang Wanqiu didn't say which type of jelly it was, she just left enough room for Ji Xia's imagination, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.

After getting off the car, the two did not go far, and settled for dinner in a well-decorated restaurant nearby.

It's just that when I came out of the restaurant again, the sky outside had already started to darken. The small shops on this street all turned on the lights on the signboards, and the colorful signboards dazzled people a little.

Standing at the entrance of the store and looking over, you can see that a lot of people have gathered in the big square in front of the gymnasium. The concert starts at 08:30 in the evening, and the ticket checking process has already started ahead of time. Jiang Wanqiu looked down at the time , leading Ji Xia around the other side of the road.

From queuing up for ticket checking to entering the venue, Ji Xia followed Jiang Wanqiu closely, holding her hand all the time.

The other party was afraid that she would be scattered by the crowd.

I don't know how long it's been like this, and a little sweat has appeared on the palm of her hand, which is a little sticky, but she has no intention of shaking him off at all.

It wasn't until the cool breeze from the central air conditioner blowing over their heads after they entered the venue and sat down that they felt that their bodies were not so dry and hot.

The entire gymnasium is very large, and the lively atmosphere spread to every corner centered on the stage. The moment the deafening music sounded from the stereo, everyone pointed at it, and the carnival tonight began.

Ji Xia witnessed with his own eyes that the "gentleness" and "elegance" in Jiang Wanqiu's body gradually disappeared under the layers of excitement, and he suddenly became an elf born for the night.

Originally, she had been looking forward to this concert for a long time, because this singer was someone she had admired since junior high school.

But tonight, her attention was entirely off the singer.

At the climax of the whole scene, everyone was so excited that they hugged the people around them, and some people were screaming. Ji Xia didn't hug or scream, but he just knew that his hand was being taut and held up high .

"Ji Xia—"

In this loud music and carnival, Ji Xia Music heard the people around him seem to call his name.

She then turned her head and saw Jiang Wanqiu's starry eyes shining brightly, smiling at her: "Happy birthday."

"what?"

Ji Xia couldn't hear clearly, the voice in his ear was too messy.

But Jiang Wanqiu didn't repeat it a second time, she turned her head away and continued to devote herself to the rest of the carnival.

Until the end of the song.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when the whole performance ended, and it was almost early morning when they returned to the University of Foreign Affairs by the same route, but Ji Xia did not forget that today was his 20th birthday.

Although they are exactly 19 years old, according to the customs of their hometown, they all celebrate their birthdays.

Also, she didn't find any suitable opportunity to talk about it with Jiang Wanqiu, but the day was coming to an end soon.

"Sister," after much deliberation, Ji Xia still parted his lips hesitantly, "Actually today..."

— It's my 20th birthday.

"Huh?" Jiang Wanqiu snorted softly, interrupting the other party's words.

She turned her head, waiting for Ji Xia's next words.

But Ji Xia's post, just has no post.

"It's nothing, I'm so happy today."

"Thank you."

"..."

After several times, Ji Xia still couldn't say what she wanted to say, because as soon as Jiang Wanqiu looked at her, she would start to feel a little upset.

"It's getting late, I'd better go back first, otherwise the dorm manager will talk about it when she meets her later. Ji Xia pursed her lips, and finally decided to swallow the matter of "birthday" into her stomach.

Anyway, it was only for a while and today passed.

There is no loss in her heart.

The girl put her hand on the door handle and was about to get out of the car, but at this moment——

"Ji Xia." Jiang Wanqiu said suddenly, and stopped the person who was about to leave, "Wait a minute."

Ji Xia's movement of opening the door froze, and she sat down on the seat very naturally and neatly. The movement was so natural that it made people think that she really didn't want to leave at all.

Ji Xia quietly stared at the person next to him, waiting for the other person to continue to speak.

I saw Jiang Wanqiu bent her eyes, leaned over and leaned towards her, Ji Xia's heart also shrank suddenly following the other's movement, and she thought that Jiang Wanqiu was going to do something to herself again. "Intimate" behavior.

But the other party didn't.

Although the distance between the two of them was very close, Jiang Wanqiu turned his body to the side to open the storage box in front of the co-pilot, and saw a white packing box lying quietly inside. In the center of the box was a very obvious fruit logo .

Jiang Wanqiu stretched out his hand and took out the things easily.

"Birthday gift." The woman bent her lips, and Qing Ling's voice sounded in the quiet carriage, but this smile was remembered by Ji Xia for a long, long time.

She handed the white box to Ji Xia's arms, followed by a late sentence——

"Happy birthday, Ji Xia."

"I haven't forgotten your birthday."

Ji Xia's eye sockets suddenly became hot for some reason, and the phrase "Happy Birthday" seemed to hit the softest part of her heart.

But Jiang Wanqiu continued to say what he didn't finish.

"It's a pity that I couldn't witness every graduation of yours due to some reasons, and it's also a pity that I promised you four years ago that I would accompany you on your birthday, but I left early because of other things." Although he was apologizing, Jiang Wanqiu There was still a gentle smile on his face, "So today, I count it as making up for my breaking my promise."

"I hope you will like this gift," she said, and she reached out and gently pinned the girl's broken hair behind her ears, her movements were gentle and careful, "I also hope that you will study hard in the future and become what you want to be." people."

Tablet plus pen.

It wasn't a very romantic gift, but it was delivered to Ji Xia's heart.

the most important is……

Ji Xia stared brightly at the things in his arms, which were given by Jiang Wanqiu.

She didn't expect that after so long, the other party still remembered her birthday.

It turned out that the date of this concert was not coincidental, but carefully selected by Jiang Wanqiu, and the birthday was not "forgotten", but just pretending to "not know". Ji Xia couldn't accept it with normal feelings.

But, she couldn't refuse.

At this moment, for the first time, a desire called "greed" was born in Ji Xia's heart. She wanted to be greedy and want Jiang Wanqiu's liking more, no matter whether this kind of liking was the kind she wanted.

"Why don't you talk? Do you like it or don't you like it?" At this time, in the quiet carriage, a woman's voice with a smile sounded again, pulling Ji Xia's thoughts back.

"Of course I like it, I like it very much." The girl answered this question without thinking.

But she didn't think about the other party's question, just to pave the way for the next question, she only heard Jiang Wanqiu blinking her eyes and teasingly said with a smile: "Is it someone who likes gifts, or who prefers to give gifts?"
