Xueba, don't look at me, look at the question!

"Where did you... my picture come from?"

"Ask Uncle Mu for it."

Mu Nanyu glanced at his uncle who was still looking for nail clippers in front of his desk: "Why don't I know when it happened?"

"I'm going to give you a birthday present, how can I tell you in advance?"

"Then when did you make such a book out of photos?"

In his impression, Bai Jingtan rarely spends time by his side all day long. Logically speaking, it should take a long time to make such a book. Where did the other party get the time?

The notebook in his hand was torn away, Bai Jingtan's fingers were beautiful, and when he turned the pages of the book, he looked like bamboo and jade.

"Every night after the lights are turned off, I use my mobile phone to play the flashlight for a while. Since the two of us have been together until now... I have been preparing for more than a month."

Bai Jingtan slept on his upper bunk, and the bed was shaded by curtains, no wonder he hadn't noticed it all this time.

I have been preparing for more than a month...

The corners of Mu Nanyu's lips couldn't help but curl up, and glanced at the side face of the person beside him who was flipping through the book with him, the curve widened a bit.

"Xiaoyu, why are you smiling so happily? The corners of your mouth almost reach your ears—"

The boy who grinned almost to the ear was caught off guard, raised his head in a daze, and saw his uncle had come out of his bedroom.

Quickly adjusted her expression: "...I'm looking at the birthday present that Bai Jingtan gave me."

"Xiaotan is here. Uncle made you an egg pancake today, with tenderloin and extra sauce."

"Thank you, Uncle Mu."

"Why are you being polite——Xiaoyu, can uncle see the birthday present?"

Mu Nanyu hesitated for a moment, then handed over the notebook.

Mu Wenjun flipped through a few pages: "Hey, this photo is well pasted, and the words are beautifully written... Co-author Xiaotan, you asked me for Xiaoyu's photo before, just to do this?"

Bai Jingtan nodded: "En."

"Xiaoyu, you have to keep this well. It's a childhood memory of the two of you. When you grow up, enter the society and start working, you will know how rare it is to have friends who grew up together..."

Mu Nanyu's ears were numb after hearing these words, so he hurriedly coaxed his uncle.

"I know, I know, uncle, aren't you looking for nail clippers? If you find it, go and cut it quickly. It's time to eat later."

"This brat—that's fine, Xiaotan, you can stay here for a while, and uncle will be fine soon."

Mu Nanyu and Bai Jingtan finished reading the book together.

The last page is a photo taken when they went to the playground together, the surrounding was very lively, the two of them hooked their shoulders, intimate and natural.

"Although my uncle was nagging a little bit, there was one thing he said was right." Mu Nanyu closed the book and hugged it to his chest, "I want to keep this well and put it in the safe. "

Bai Jingtan is not only his "brother" who grew up with him, but also his present and future partner.

There are so many photos of them and handmade gadgets in this book, it brings back a lot of memories every time I see it, so I should keep it well.

Ten years later, 20 years later, 30 years later... Looking back, you should have a lot of feelings.

"Since it's given to you, of course you can put it wherever you want. But the safe... isn't it a little exaggerated?"

"Then I'll take it to school and put it on the desk. I can see it every day if I want to, and it's not easy to lose. What do you think?"

"it is good."

"Eat—Xiaoyu Xiaotan, come here, the omelette is still hot, and there is milk over there. I know you two don't like hot drinks, so I didn't heat them up for you. Take it and drink it yourself."

Bai Jingtan walked to the side of the box, took three boxes, handed one box to Mu Nanyu, and put the other box on the table for Mu Wenjun.

"Uncle Mu, don't be too busy, come over and eat together."

Mu Nanyu had already pulled a pancake into his bowl, biting it down, the fresh and salty taste of the seafood sauce spread in his mouth, making him squint his eyes happily.

"Yes, uncle, you don't need to wash the pot. I'll make it after I finish eating. Come and eat together!"

"Okay, here we come—you two are in college now, and it's rare to come back once. I'll just do these things."

Mu Nanyu took one bite of cake and one mouthful of milk, and in less than 5 minutes a large piece of egg cake was wiped out by half.

Mu Wenjun shook his head again and again: "Xiaoyu, can't you eat more politely? You look at Xiaotan, and then look at you, the reincarnation of a starving ghost—"

Bai Jingtan curled his lips and added in a gentle voice.

"Eat slowly, chewing slowly is good for the stomach."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Mu Nanyu took a sip of milk, and moved the empty box aside, "I have something to say."

"It's just... Didn't I go to my father's place yesterday morning? He asked me to accompany him to the suburbs this weekend to look at a piece of land."

With a soft "click" sound when the chopsticks fell to the ground, Mu Nanyu turned his head in astonishment, and saw that Bai Jingtan had already bent down to pick up the chopsticks.

"Baijingtan?"

Bai Jingtan was silent for a while, and his abrupt Adam's apple rolled up and down: "It's okay, I accidentally dropped my chopsticks with trembling hands, you can continue talking."

"I didn't want to go at first, but Zhao Liang promised me that if I go with him, I won't be allowed to go abroad until my junior year...so I may have to go with him this weekend."

After breakfast, the two of them set foot on the way back to school early.

Mu Nanyu quietly turned his face to look at Bai Jingtan a few times, a little puzzled by the sudden quietness and silence of the other party.

"...Are you upset that I promised to go out with my dad on weekends?"

Bai Jingtan raised his eyebrows: "No."

"You are talking nonsense. Since I just said this at the dinner table, you have been keeping a cold face... If you don't want me to go, I won't go. I'm serious."

"Didn't you say that he promised you not to let you go abroad before your junior year? Go on... I happen to be free this weekend. I can go to the cemetery to visit my parents and tell them about me and you."

"...Then you tell your uncle and aunt this time, take me next time you go, and I will go too."

Bai Jingtan smiled softly: "Okay, I will take you there next time too. Xiaoyu, you will always be here, right?"

"Of course, don't be so nervous, I'll go for half a day, and I'll be back to accompany you soon."

"Ah."

On Saturday morning, Mu Nanyu received a call from Zhao Liang just after washing up.

"Dad is already waiting for you at the door, come out quickly, there are other people in the company waiting!"

"Understood." Mu Nanyu hung up the phone quickly, and waved at Bai Jingtan, "Then I'll go first, the weather is bad today, and it might rain later, are you sure you want to go to the cemetery to see your uncle and aunt today?"

"Well, I'm holding an umbrella. You also remember to take an umbrella to go out... Send me a WeChat message if you have anything to do."

"Okay, I'm leaving!"
