poor guy

Apart from Shen Lian's parents who passed away, only Wen Yeyan was still thinking about his birthday, even saying happy birthday was unfamiliar to him, so Shen's family naturally wouldn't celebrate it for an outsider like him.

"Then it's better to go to my place." Wen Yeyan said, "That's it, you come over for dinner next Saturday afternoon, and then we will celebrate your birthday."

"Really?" Shen Lian couldn't believe it.

It's just a birthday, the ordinary process of giving gifts and eating cakes is so simple.

Shen Lian was so surprised, so surprised that it made people feel distressed.

"You just look forward to it." Wen Yeyan patted Shen Lian's back, "How old are you? Nineteen? No way? Two years older than me, that won't work, let's say nine years old , nine years old, huh?"

"No." Shen Lian put his arms around Wen Yeyan's neck and said sullenly.

When it comes to birthdays, he only knows that Shen Yanyan celebrates her birthday, which can be regarded as the day he looks forward to the most in a year. As the most favored daughter of the Shen family, Shen Yanyan can have a cake with friends outside, and eat with her family again when she comes back One, Shen Lian, who is barely considered a member of the family, can also eat birthday cake.

His impression of birthdays is only a birthday cake, but he never envies it. The memory of his parents celebrating his birthday when he was young has almost disappeared. Now the person who gave birth to him is gone, so it doesn’t matter what day he was born meaning.

But Wen Yeyan remembers for him, Wen Yeyan knows everything, he is... he is a god, right?

The days of waiting are extremely long, and Shen Lian has never looked forward to Saturday as much as now.

Finally on Saturday, Shen Lian woke up early. He wanted to go to Wen Yeyan's house right away, but Wen Yeyan said that it would be the afternoon, so he could only continue to wait. He couldn't concentrate on his homework, and his mind was full of the afternoon. thing.

Even if Wen Yeyan only gave him a steamed bun, he was very happy.

When the time came, Shen Lian went out with a smile on his face. His excitement was so exuberant that Shen Yanyan noticed his actions and asked, "Why are you going?"

"Go to Wen Yeyan." Shen Lian said.

"Why are you looking for him?" Shen Yanyan was suspicious, she wanted to date Wen Yeyan today, but Wen Yeyan said she was not free.

What answered her was Shen Lian's silly smile of "hehehe".

unusual.

Shen Yanyan became more suspicious.

Shen Lian arrived at the place, and as soon as Wen Yeyan entered the room, he fired a salute first, and colorful stripes fell all over Shen Lian. "Happy birthday." Wen Yeyan said. He was wearing a blue cone hat, which gave him a party atmosphere.

"Well, you're happy too." Shen Lian was shy and embarrassed, a little reluctant to let go.

Wen Yeyan put a garland on Shen Lian, which he wove by himself, blue and white intertwined, it just fit on Shen Lian's head.

Shen Lian looked blank and blinked at him.

"It's so cute!" Wen Yeyan couldn't help but hugged Shen Lian and turned around on the spot.

Walking inside, Mrs. Ji was sitting in the living room drinking tea, also wearing the same style of cone hat, injecting a touch of festiveness into her serious demeanor.

"Xiao Shen, I wish you a happy birthday." Mrs. Ji said, "I don't know what young people like nowadays. I will give you an e-reader. I wish you success in your studies and grow up happily."

"Thank you grandma." Shen Lian was holding his first birthday present since he could remember, and Chaowen Yeyan shared it in surprise, "Gift!"

"Look how happy the child is." Wen Yeyan smiled lovingly, "I also have a gift for you, but I have to wait."

The birthday meal is also Shen Lian's favorite element. Mrs. Ji made a big pot of seafood stew with a big wave of her hand, and fried pork ribs wrapped with stuffed meat. The whole table was full of delicious food. Wen Yeyan still complained about it. It's so delicious, what should Shen Lian do if he won't be able to eat the cake later?

The old lady Ji was quite considerate about this, and she let Shen Lian keep her stomach, "He made you a cake."

Wen Yeyan was immediately dissatisfied: "Why did you say it directly? Isn't there no surprise at all?"

The old lady Ji turned a deaf ear and said to Shen Lian: "You can eat two bites. He ruined my kitchen, and the things he made may not be edible."

Wen Ye stared in smoke.

Shen Lian's eyes glowed, and he tugged on Wen Yeyan's clothes, "You, you make me a cake? I have a birthday cake?"

That look, as if he was the happiest person in the world.

The cake made by Wen Yeyan subtly surpassed the old lady Ji's meals. Shen Lian said he was full after eating only one bowl. He really wanted to see what kind of cake it was, but Wen Yeyan had to cover his eyes.

"Are you ready? Are you ready?" As soon as she put on the blindfold, Shen Lian couldn't wait to take it off.

"Don't move, I will let you pick it." Wen Yeyan emphasized.

Shen Lian's heart was about to jump out of his throat, he had never expected anything so much, today was the happiest day in his life.

Through the cloth of the blindfold, Shen Lian felt that the light was off, and then a faint orange light was coming on, slowly approaching him, as if he could feel the warmth of the candle flame.

"Uh, you can take off the blindfold." Wen Yeyan said, her voice was not very confident.

Shen Lian took off the blindfold, and a ten-inch big cake was placed in front of him. The whole cake was made of blue and white cream, and in the middle stood something that looked like a boat. The reason for its appearance was that it only had a rough outline. The boat, the chocolate cream of the hull collapsed, the sails made of biscuits were crooked, and the "1" and "9" number candles stood below to illuminate its dilapidation, which was really horrible.

"You can watch it when you first make it..." This is the rare lack of self-confidence that Master Wen, a winner in life, has.

"Pretty!" Shen Lian said happily, he stood up and admired it from all angles, not to comfort Wen Yeyan, he really liked this cake.

"Cough." Wen Yeyan clenched his fist and pressed his lips, holding back some untimely thoughts, "Before it completely collapses, close your eyes and make a wish."

Shen Lian sat down obediently, clasped her hands on her chest, "Is that so?"

Wen Yeyan touched his head and slowly sang: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The singing is as soft as a falling star dragging its trajectory in the night sky

The old lady Ji didn't make a sound, but clapped her hands to the rhythm.

Shen Lian closed her eyes and made a wish on the cake.

After the gentle singing ended, Shen Lian opened his eyes.

"Then can we blow out the candles?" Shen Lian asked Wen Yeyan.

"Ah."

Shen Lian puffed up his cheeks and blew out the candles. He officially passed the No.19 year of his life.

"There is light." Wen Yeyan said, and the lights in the living room turned on again.

Outside, Shen Yanyan lingered at the gate for 10 minutes. She wanted to ring the doorbell several times, but she couldn't.Wen Yeyan called Shen Lian, but she didn't call her. She came over on her own initiative. This behavior didn't seem very good.

But she was really curious about what they were doing, Shen Lian's rare joy in those ten years was too unusual.

She saw that the room was suddenly dark, and then lighted up again after a while.

not simple!

She raised her hand for the fifth time and was about to press it down. With a struggling expression, she quickly retracted her hand and took out her mobile phone, squatting at the door to ask her sister for help, then clicked into Moments, and saw a post by Wen Yeyan.

It's a photo and a cute smiling expression.

The photo shows Shen Lian wearing a wreath and earnestly wishing on the birthday cake. His eyelashes cast a gentle shadow under the dim yellow candlelight.

Today is Shen Lian's birthday?

Shen Yanyan stared at the photo for 2 minutes in a daze.

In the end, she left here with her head down.

"Eat cake, eat cake!" Shen Lian was gearing up, almost drooling.

"It's a shame you still have an appetite." Wen Yeyan said emotionally.

Shen Lian took the initiative to cut the cake, and Mrs. Ji only asked for a small portion, "I don't eat sugar when I'm old, I'm tired of eating these days."

After eating this piece of cake, Mrs. Ji went to rest.

Shen Lian is already eating the second piece. The cake looks unsatisfactory (from the perspective of normal aesthetics), but the taste is quite good. The cream melts in the mouth, which is a natural milk fragrance. The cake body is moist and soft, don't forget to eat it after mixing How beautiful.

Although this is not Wen Yeyan's satisfactory work, Shen Lian's reaction gave him enough sense of accomplishment.

"There are a lot of ingredients left." Wen Yeyan said, "Whenever you want to eat, I will make it for you."

"You can do everything, so amazing." Shen Lian said sincerely.

"Can I eat it every day?"

"No." Wen Ye Yanren said lovingly, "You will become fat like a ball."

Shen Lian had no choice but to cherish this moment and eat it to his heart's content, but no matter how delicious he was, three yuan topped the sky, and he was already starting to feel tired, so he licked the oil in small bites.

"Okay, don't force yourself." Wen Yeyan said with a smile, "You can still eat tomorrow."

After eating and drinking enough, it's time to come and see Wen Yeyan's birthday present.

Wen Yeyan asked Shen Lian to sit on the sofa and asked him to wear a blindfold.

"I always wear this, and grandma doesn't ask me to wear it." Shen Lian became dissatisfied, and he wanted to see it right away.

"The surprise must be kept until the last moment." Wen Yeyan smiled and wrapped Shen Lian's hands behind his back, preventing him from touching the blindfold.

In fact, he had no idea, he didn't know if Shen Lian would like it, after all, Shen Lian didn't show any interest in this aspect, so Shen Lian had to eat it.

"Are you ready? Are you ready?" the little blind man urged.

Wen Yeyan held the simple box in his hand, squatted down in front of Shen Lian, opened it, and there was a pair of sneakers inside.

This pair of shoes uses blue as the background color, and uses oil painting brushstrokes to draw ferocious huge waves. A three-masted sailboat breaks through the waves and points straight ahead.

Wen Yeyan took out her shoes, and then took off Shen Lian's shoes.

Shen Lian: "???"

"Why are your socks different lengths?" Wen Yeyan held Shen Lian's feet, feeling the toes curl up uncomfortably.

"About that?" Shen Lian said, wanting to retract her feet, "What are you doing?"

Wen Ye refused to let him smoke, and put his feet into the shoes, "Cinderella is going to wear a beautiful crystal slipper."

...But it's a bit of an oolong, because the shoes are a bit small.

"Aren't you growing up too fast?" Wen Yeyan said, he was too ill-prepared, and the presents were not suitable.

"Are you ready?" Shen Lian was looking forward to it, eager to stand up and take two steps.

"Okay." Wen Yeyan was a little frustrated.

Shen Lian took off his blindfold, and when he saw the beautiful new shoes, he was very happy, and walked carefully with his head down, as if he was afraid of breaking them.

"Don't squeeze your feet?" Wen Yeyan asked.

Shen Lian shook her head, "It's comfortable, I really like it. This boat is so beautiful."

"I drew it." Wen Yeyan laughed, "I hope you can take this boat, cross the sea, and go where you want to go."

Shen Lian raised her head and was stunned.

For the first time in his life, someone told him, go where you want to go.
