fake god

When Lu Ping went to deliver things, Shen Yuze stayed by the campfire alone and watched the fire.When he just ate roasted persimmons, the juice that flowed out covered Shen Yuze's hands, and it was a bit sticky after it dried. He always likes cleansing, and he couldn't stand the sticky feeling on his hands. Seeing that the bonfire was raging, he didn't need to take care of it, so he just got up and went to the bathroom handwashing.

When he came out of the bathroom, he happened to hear several girls discussing when to give Chen Miaomiao a birthday present.

"I think it's better not to give it one by one." A girl said, "Look, some people know that today is Miaomiao's birthday and have prepared gifts; some people don't know it and they come empty-handed. If everyone gave gifts one by one, how embarrassing would it be for those who didn't prepare a gift! Even if Miao Miao thinks it doesn't matter, the person concerned will feel uncomfortable."

"Then what should we do? We have prepared gifts with great pains, and we will send them out."

"Why don't we give all the gifts to one person, and let that person send them out as a representative. Mix all the gifts together, write their names on them, and Miao Miao will go home and open them, so there will be no embarrassment."

"That's right! You are still smart, so who shall we give the gift to?"

"Leave it to Meng Xin. Meng Xin will sing in a while. How appropriate to give a gift after singing!"

Hearing their chat, Shen Yuze learned that today is actually Chen Miaomiao's birthday.

After thinking about it, he called the driver who was waiting at the foot of the mountain.

The call was quickly connected.

Shen Yuze asked straight to the point if there were any gifts prepared in advance in the car that could be given away.

Generally speaking, moderately priced gifts will be prepared in advance on the commercial vehicle, so that in case of any special circumstances, they can be used in an emergency and there is no need to buy them temporarily.

"Yes." The driver said respectfully, "There are six bottles of Moutai, three Ruan Zhonghua, two cans of tea, and a Montblanc pen in the trunk."

Shen Yuze: "..."

Uh, Moutai, Zhonghua, tea, none of these things are suitable for a 17-year-old girl as a birthday present.

There is really no choice.

"Just that pen, you send it up immediately, I can use it."

A few minutes later, the driver delivered the pen to Shen Yuze.

This fountain pen has a simple and smooth appearance. It is unisex. It can be used regardless of age or gender. It can be regarded as a decent gift for a girl who is still in school.

After Shen Yuze got the pen, he wrote a few simple words on the back of the gift box.

【Happy birthday】

【Shen, Lu】

He thought, Lu Ping must not know that today is Chen Miaomiao's birthday. If he knew, Lu Ping would not have told himself in advance, so Shen Yuze simply wrote down both of their names, so that Lu Ping would not have to spend any more money.

Shen Yuze went to find Meng Xin with a pen, and handed her the wrapped gift: "I heard that everyone's gifts are sent to you, right?"

Meng Xin nodded.

"This gift is from me and Lu Ping together."

"Eh?" Meng Xin was both surprised and amused, "Shen Yuze, what are you and Lu Ping doing? It's just a birthday present, and you want to join hands twice?"

Shen Yuze didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"That's what it means—" Meng Xin took out two square boxes from the plastic bag next to her, "—this was sent by Lu Ping just now, here, look at the signature on it."

Shen Yuze took a closer look, and saw a piece of post-it note on one of the small boxes, with several lines written densely on it.

[I wish the owner of Miaomiao House, classmate Chen Miaomiao: The stars I chase will never collapse, the novels I read will never be cheated, and the cute CPs are all beautiful love!I wish you to be admitted to the ideal university, inherit the family business as soon as possible, and become the richest woman in Jiaojiang! 】

[Gift giver: Lu Ping & Shen Yuze]

There is also a cute smiley emoji at the bottom.

Looking at the cute smiling face that was drawn by hand, Shen Yuze's heart moved, and he raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously, showing a slight smile.

Shen Yuze picked up the box, shook it lightly, and heard a small sound coming from inside: "What's inside?"

"It's orange cake, a kind of snack here." Meng Xin said, "Lu Ping said he made it himself, and made two boxes."

It was actually made by Pingping himself... Shen Yuze rested his fingers on the box, reluctant to let go.

Meng Xin observed his words and asked, "Are you reconciled with Lu Ping?"

"……Why do you ask?"

"Just think of it as a girl's sixth sense," Meng Xin smiled: "This afternoon, when he saw you getting out of the car, his expression was so strange, it was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he wanted to turn around and leave the car. Let's go... I guess the two of you must have had a quarrel. I didn't expect that when he brought the gift just now, it was signed by both of your names, and the gift you sent was also in your name—what the hell are you doing? "

Shen Yuze shook his head: "You misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding what?"

"We didn't make up."

"Eh……?"

"—Because we have never been 'bad'." Shen Yuze pushed the four-figure pen to Meng Xin, and took away a box of orange cakes, the smile in his eyes was fleeting, " Since there are two boxes, I will take this one away."

"???" Meng Xin was dumbfounded, why didn't she realize that Shen Yuze had such a personality before!

……

Shen Yuze returned to the campfire with a box of orange cakes, while Lu Ping was already squatting next to the campfire and started eating grilled squid.

"Where have you been? Hurry up, the skewers are going to be cold, eat them while they're hot. If you can't eat seafood, I'll fix it for you. Don't thank me!" Whoever lives in a coastal city doesn't like seafood ?Lu Ping liked eating squid so much that the corners of his mouth were covered with dipping sauce. He greeted Shen Yuze while eating, "Grilled persimmons and oranges are not enough to fill you up, you still have to eat meat... Wait, what are you holding in your hand?"

Shen Yuze didn't hide it, shook the orange cake he brought back from Meng Xin in front of Lu Ping, and asked deliberately: "Orange cake, do you want to eat it?"

"..." Lu Ping was shocked when he saw the familiar packaging, "Shen Yuze, you are really shameless!"

"Thank you." Shen Yuze said humbly, "I will continue to work hard."

Shen Yuze sat back beside Lu Ping again, and told him how he exchanged this box of orange cakes with a Montblanc pen.

Lu Ping really didn't know what to say, and only Shen Yuze could do something like put a pen worth several thousand yuan and a box of worthless snacks on a balance.

The box of orange cake that Shen Yuze brought back was sandwiched, the outer layer was orange-red, with the smell of tangerine peel, and mint paste was added inside. The small one was not as big as a fingernail, and it had the unique taste of glutinous rice. toughness.

Shen Yuze ate one. The glutinous rice was very soft and sticky to his teeth. He ate very slowly.

Every time Lu Ping made something new, Shen Yuze would taste it carefully. In front of Lu Ping, Shen Yuze's picky eating problem seemed to disappear.

Lu Ping asked expectantly: "How is it, is it delicious?"

"It's not bad." Shen Yuze pondered for a while, then spit out a sentence, "...It's a bit like children's toothpaste."

Lu Ping: "..."

This orange cake has orange flavor and mint flavor. If it is children's toothpaste, it is indeed correct.

Lu Ping was upset, and said with a bluff, "If you don't eat it, you can pay it back to me."

Of course Shen Yuze refused to return it—what's wrong with the children's toothpaste, even if Ping Ping really asked him to eat children's toothpaste, he would still eat it!

The two quarreled for a while, and the highlight of the night finally came.

Zhou Yue covered Chen Miaomiao's eyes and brought her to the bonfire. Shen Yuze and Lu Ping took out the cake they had hidden in advance and gave her a big surprise.

This cake was ordered by Zhou Yue, and it completely conforms to Chen Miaomiao's aesthetics: the main body of the cake is black and white, and fondant is used to make a girl with a ball head and a curtain, which is really girly.

Chen Miaomiao was so moved that she burst into tears, tears and snot dripping down her nose.

Holding the camera in his hand, Zhou Yue warned her: "Don't cry, you won't be on camera if you cry!"

The words "not photogenic" were very effective. Chen Miaomiao quickly stopped her tears, held up the cake with red eyes, and posed for a good-looking photo.

After making wishes, taking photos, and sharing cakes, everyone was eager to start a cream fight.The girls smeared cream on each other's faces with their fingers, and Shou Xing went crazy, running around with his hands full of cream, trying to see who didn't have enough cream on his face, so he had to put a layer on it.

She saw Shen Yuze standing outside the crowd at a glance, the young man's face was clean, not even a speck of cream could be seen.

She suddenly became ambitious, and rushed forward waving her hands, intending to give him a little color.As a result, after she ran in front of Shen Yuze, she suddenly remembered Shen Yuze's "excellent reputation". She couldn't help but meet Shen Yuze's gaze, and suddenly trembled all over, not daring to make a mistake.

"Chen Miaomiao, are you sure you want to do this?" Shen Yuze looked at the cream in her hands with a half-smile, warning.

"Uh..." Chen Miaomiao hesitated.

But at the very second when she wanted to turn around and run away, a figure suddenly jumped up from the side, hugged Shen Yuze's shoulder suddenly, and shouted at Chen Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, come quickly! I caught him!! "

The boy who hugged Shen Yuze had several wisps of cream on the tip of his nose and forehead, and even some on the corners of his mouth.He almost climbed onto Shen Yuze's body with all fours, and loudly encouraged the other girls around him: "Don't be dazed, it's not too late, it's a fault to miss such a good opportunity!"

Shen Yuze: "Hey, you—"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ping had already stood on tiptoe and pressed his cheek to her.There was a lot of cream on his face, and he rubbed half of it on Shen Yuze's face. When the skin touched, the heat on his face even melted the cream.This was the first time they were so intimate in front of outsiders, but at this moment, no one would feel that there was anything wrong.

Lu Ping's smile is creamy, and now, he has "infected" Shen Yuze as well.

Under his encouragement, Chen Miaomiao plucked up the courage to rush over, leaving a streak of cream on Shen Yuze's face, and then, Meng Xin, Zhou Yue, and other girls in the class also came over to leave a little memory for him .

Please, other than tonight, what chance do they have of touching the school girl's face? !

However, everyone was merciful to him, and everyone only got a little bit of cream.After the large group of girls withdrew, there was very little cream on Shen Yuze's face, which not only did not affect his appearance, but made him more casual.

"It's too obvious that they are biased." Lu Ping wailed, "They wiped my face all over, why are they so gentle to you?"

Shen Yuze thought for a while: "Maybe because I look good, they can't bear to do it."

Lu Ping: "...Uh, you don't have to be so honest."

Shen Yuze laughed: "We look good even if we are ordinary."

Lu Ping: "... Otherwise, you should continue to be honest."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Shen Yuze repeated solemnly: "I'm telling the truth."

Lu Ping didn't take it to heart at all.He has a full understanding of his appearance. To put it bluntly, he is handsome and clean, but to put it bluntly, he is ordinary. If Shen Yuze really thinks he is good-looking, it must be because Shen Yuze has installed a super handsome face in Shen Yuze's eyes. Invincible three-dimensional filter for skin care and big eyes.

Or to say——@#%*￥%& Beauty is in the eyes.

(@#%*￥%& has been automatically muted by Lu Ping)

Almost all the cream on the cake was used by the group of children to play with. A dozen of them each cut a small corner of the remaining cake embryo, which was just used to neutralize the meat in their stomachs.

After eating the cake, Meng Xin sang a song on behalf of everyone and gave gifts to everyone. Chen Miaomiao was so happy again and hiccupped from crying.

After playing enough, everyone took turns going to the bathroom to wash their faces. When they were fighting, they were very measured. They only wiped their face and hands, not their hair. They only needed to wash a few times to wipe it clean.

Standing in front of the washbasin, Lu Ping looked at the cream all over his face, feeling regretful: "Suddenly I feel that it is a waste... I have heard of this brand of cakes, they are very expensive, and it is said that they use very good cream."

With the idea that he would not get sick after eating dirty, he stuck out his tongue and licked the cream on the corner of his lips.The tip of the dark pink tongue flickered, rolled up the cream and sipped it into his lips, it really melted in his mouth.

"!!!" Lu Ping exclaimed, "It's delicious! This cream is not sweet at all!"

——"Not sweet", this is the highest praise of Chinese people for a dessert.

"Really?" Shen Yuze stood beside Lu Ping. He looked at the boy in the mirror shaking his head with joy after eating the food, and asked, "Is it really not sweet?"

Lu Ping nodded sharply: "Really! If you don't believe me, try it!"

"it is good."

So Shen Yuze stretched out his hand, and unexpectedly scratched the tip of Lu Ping's round nose.He dipped a smear of cream on his fingertips, then brought it to his mouth, and opened his lips to taste it.

"—I think it's very sweet." Shen Yuze commented in a good mood.

Lu Ping: "........."

The temperature of his whole body soared, even the cream couldn't cover the color on his face: "Shen Yuze, I let you taste the cream on my face, but I didn't let you taste the cream on my face!!!"

"Is there any difference?" Shen Yuze looked upright, "Since they are all cream on the same cake, isn't the cream on your face the same as mine?"

Lu Ping was ashamed and annoyed: "According to what you said, since it's all money from the same bank, isn't the money on your card the same as mine?"

"Yes." Shen Yuze nodded, "You are right in thinking so."

Lu Ping: "???"

Shen Yuze smiled slightly: "Does Pingping want a list of my assets? But it's still in the trust, and I won't give it to you until I become an adult."

Lu Ping: "..."

Does this damn rich man know what he's talking about?

……

The barbecue birthday party did not last very late. Starting at 07:30, several girls received calls from home one after another, asking when they would arrive home and whether their parents should come to pick them up.After all, they are still high school students. It is inevitable for parents to worry about sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls playing outside so late.

Just after eight o'clock, the prepared ingredients were swept away by the boys and girls.They were very conscious, packed up the leftover garbage, and extinguished the bonfire, leaving no garbage here.

Today's picking activity not only harvested [-] to [-] catties of oranges, but also took beautiful photos, ate barbecue, and cut cakes, which is enough to send a Jiugongge Moments!

As the little birthday star, Chen Miaomiao was in the most radiant mood, smiling so much that she could hardly see her eyes.

In the morning, the driver of Chen's family drove a minibus to pick up Chen Miaomiao's friends, and of course he would take them back to the South Bank in the same way at night.

The only question is what to do with Lu Ping.

Chen Miaomiao knew that Lu Ping's house was on the North Shore, so she came here directly by bus in the morning.She asked: "Lu Ping, it's so late now, is there still a bus back to your house?"

Lu Ping looked at the time on his phone. He never thought that he would play until so late, and he didn't check the time of the last bus.

Shen Yuze said directly: "It's okay, I'll send him off."

Chen Miaomiao didn't think much about it, anyway, Lu Ping and Shen Yuze had always been good friends, and Shen Yuze had a private car, so it was just a matter of dropping by to send Lu Ping home.

Everyone bid farewell and made an appointment to meet at school on Monday.

It's not too far from Yongquan Mountain to Lu Ping's house, about 45 kilometers away. It takes 10 minutes to take a bus during the day, and there are fewer buses at night. It takes about [-] minutes to get home.

They descended the mountain and headed east along the embankment.There was very little traffic along the way, and there was not as much traffic outside the window as on the south bank. Lu Ping lowered the window and listened to the sound of river waves lapping on the embankment.

The night in November is only about ten degrees, and the riverside will be a few degrees colder. The air is filled with the unique fishy smell of river water. , this taste is strange and peculiar.

"Speaking of which, what will your birthday look like?" Lu Ping asked curiously, "Is your birthday like the one shown on TV, with a dance party in a mansion, everyone wearing tuxedos and dresses, and a mountain of presents?" One mountain?"

"...More or less." Shen Yuze's tone didn't fluctuate, and he lacked interest. "It's boring, very boring. The so-called birthday party is just a reason for the elders to socialize."

Every year on Shen Yuze's birthday, Deng Hong will make a big fuss, taking the opportunity to build a good relationship with other wives in the circle.But Shen Guoning was busy with work and was often absent, and Shen Yuze's elder brother and sister never said "Happy Birthday" to him.As he grew up, Shen Yuze gradually lost any expectations for his birthday. To him, that date was just another page in the calendar.

Today's birthday party, attended by his peers, setting up a bonfire and grilling with his own hands, and wantonly smearing cream on the faces of his companions, is a unique experience in his life.

Shen Yuze asked Lu Ping: "What about your birthday, is it the same as Chen Miaomiao's birthday? It's very lively to invite a group of friends?"

Lu Ping shook his head: "My birthday is always spent with my family. Every year, I have a bowl of seafood longevity noodles and a piece of brown sugar cake. It's nothing special, but when it comes to birthdays, I have a very impressive thing."

"what's up?"

"When I was six or seven years old, Nan'an opened the first KFC. At that time, An An was not born, and I was the only child in the family. All the classmates in the class had been to KFC, but I hadn't, so I begged my parents Take me there. You won’t believe it if you tell me—KFC is crowded with people, and you have to queue for an hour or two to buy a hamburger, which is even more exaggerated than the current online celebrity shop.”

Shen Yuze was a little surprised that a fast food restaurant would even line up?

Shen Yuze asked: "And then?"

"We waited in line for an hour, and finally walked into the store. The store is very large, with a long platform in the middle. I was shocked to find that there was actually a kid about my age celebrating his birthday there."

Lu Ping can still recall the shock and envy at that time: the girl was like a little princess, wearing a pink dress and a golden crown on her head. The long table was full of children of her age. Standing beside the children, they clapped their hands and sang the birthday song together.

In front of each of them is a complete burger combo, including a burger, fries, chicken nuggets, an ice cream sundae, and a large Coke.The staff of KFC took them to play games, sing songs, cut paper, and there were happy birthday posters on the wall. Almost every child who walked into the store cast envious eyes on that table.

Some parents immediately asked the clerk how much it would cost to book out KFC for their birthday.

Lu Ping no longer remembers how much it costs for a private room. He only remembers that when his parents led him to the counter and saw the price of the set menu on the menu, the couple discussed it and finally only bought one set for their son. Said not hungry, only ate a few chips.

"Thinking about it now, I was so funny and naive at that time. When I celebrated my birthday at KFC, only a seven-year-old child would think 'Wow! It’s true to be envious, and it’s also true to think it’s expensive. Now I can afford it, but if I really celebrate my birthday there, I feel too ashamed.”

When Lu Ping narrated these memories, Shen Yuze listened quietly.

These are the pasts that Shen Yuze cannot participate in.They are like treasures sunken at the bottom of the river, brought ashore by the waves. Others think they are boring and dull gravel, but in Shen Yuze's eyes, they are gleaming gold.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of." Shen Yuze said, "When I was abroad, I saw people getting married in McDonald's."

"marry?"

"Yes, the bride in the wedding dress, the groom in the suit, and their respective groomsmen and bridesmaids ... and their families, eating hamburgers around two long tables."

"...Unbelievable." This was something Lu Ping could never have imagined, "We actually got married in a fast food restaurant."

"If you saw that scene, you wouldn't feel ashamed of them," Shen Yuze looked into Lu Ping's eyes and whispered, "You would only feel that those were two equally interesting souls, and they fell in love."

Innocence, childishness, childishness, childishness... In the eyes of your loved ones, these qualities of you are so beautiful.Whether it's KFC or McDonald's, or any fast food restaurant in the world, as long as there is love and someone who can accompany you to be silly, what's the shame?

Shen Yuze asked, "When is your birthday?"

Lu Ping was half vigilant and half joking: "You don't really want to celebrate my birthday at KFC, do you?"

"What's wrong?"

"..." Lu Ping thought for a while, and he was really looking forward to it, "My birthday is on the fifth day of August. We all celebrate the lunar calendar here, and it will be a long time."

It's really been too long, more than half a year has passed.

Lu Ping asked: "What about you, when is your birthday?"

"January 1 is the Gregorian calendar."

"Hey, I thought you were born in summer. You said that it rained heavily on the day you were born."

Shen Yuze didn't expect Lu Ping to remember it so clearly: "I was not born in the imperial capital. I was in Hong Kong City at the time, and it would rain in January."

Lu Ping excitedly took out his mobile phone and checked the calendar: "January 1 should already be on winter vacation, and I don't know when next year's Spring Festival will be. It would be great if you could celebrate your birthday together, and I can cook for you longevity For noodles, buy another piece of brown sugar cake... ah!"

"what happened?"

Lu Ping pointed to the date on the phone in surprise: "Shen Yuze, your birthday actually coincides with next year's New Year's Day!"

If it's the Spring Festival... Then Shen Yuze will definitely go back to the Shen family's mansion and spend it with his family.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping was somewhat depressed.

However, he soon cheered up: "It's okay, I can celebrate your birthday in advance!"

Shen Yuze: "From January 1, to January 22?"

Although it is difficult to travel between the two cities on New Year's Eve, as long as the time is arranged properly, it is possible to fight.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ping shook his head: "No, it's from January 1nd to December 22nd!"

Shen Yuze: "…………A month?"

Lu Ping smiled slyly: "You are blessed. December 12 is the winter solstice. In Jiaojiang, the winter solstice is a big day!"

Hearing his words, although there is still a whole month before the winter solstice, Shen Yuze has already looked forward to it in advance.

……

After a 10-minute drive, the Cayenne turned into a familiar alley and stopped in front of Lu Ping's house.

The driver opened the trunk and helped Lu Ping out of the 20-jin box of Yongquan tangerines.

"Do you want to save some for you?" Lu Ping asked Shen Yuze, "You came back empty-handed, without picking any!"

"No need." Shen Yuze raised the orange cake in his hand, "I have children's toothpaste that you made yourself."

Lu Ping: "..."

He got out of the car, slammed the door, and walked into the house without looking back.

Fortunately, he still wanted to celebrate Shen Yuze's birthday, but this guy actually laughed at his craftsmanship! ╭(╯^╰)╮Huh!
