The mysterious box is finally about to be opened.

Chi Cheng held the box with one hand, and touched the switch of the box with the other hand, as long as the delicate little latch on the box is pulled out, you can see the surprise hidden in the box.

But Chi Cheng suddenly felt a sense of being close to his hometown.The moment when the expected surprise is about to reveal his true body in front of him is coming, and he feels both anticipation and anxiety in his heart.Just like when he left school with Chi Yuan without hesitation the night before.

"Brother Cheng, open it!"

With Chi Yuan's soft reminder, Chi Cheng finally pulled the latch and opened the box.

The box is covered with a layer of beige flannelette, and a set of guzheng strings are coiled together, lying quietly on the flannel, and fixed in the box by red threads tied into bows.

Chi Cheng picked up a string and touched it. Chi Cheng, who had learned the guzheng for many years, immediately felt that this was a good set of strings.Chi Yuan must have done a lot of homework in private in order to understand these things that he didn't understand at all.

"Brother Cheng, I heard from you in the summer that the original strings haven't been changed for a long time. These days, I've been thinking about it, and I might as well give you a set of strings. But the original packaging of the strings is not very pretty, I just ordered a wooden box, took out the strings and put them in the box. I thought, anyway, you can change the strings on the weekend after you receive it..."

Of course Chi Cheng understood the cautiousness in Chi Yuan's words. He was worried that if he unpacked the strings, the quality of the strings would be affected.This is how much he cares about himself, so he loves his house and crows, and even treats every string with the utmost care.

The corners of Chi Cheng's mouth raised unconsciously.The strings are as thin as silk, and have always been the objects of literati's pens to entrust their emotions.How could Chi Cheng not know that all these strings were soaked in Chi Yuan's emotions.

"Yuaner, I don't want to wait until the weekend, I want to change the strings now! You stay with me!"

Hearing Chi Cheng's words, the twists and turns in Chi Yuan's heart were instantly smoothed out.

The two sat in front of the guzheng, the old strings were removed one by one by Chi Cheng, coiled into concentric circles between Chi Yuan's fingers, and put into the box.

"The strings are so flexible. Brother Cheng, do they look like Yuelao's red strings, holding you and me? Hehe..."

Chi Yuan caught the last red string that Chi Cheng handed over, and looked at Chi Cheng's hand that hadn't let go, as if what the two of them were holding between their fingers was their marriage in this life.

"Brother Cheng, when I start working and can live independently, I will marry you, okay?"

Chi Cheng looked at the red strings that were holding the two hands together, and met Chi Yuan's pious and serious eyes.

"Ok, I will wait for you!"

Chi Cheng installed all the new strings, carefully tuned the sound, and improvised a piece of "Love Is Like the Tide" for Chi Yuan.

Chi Yuan closed his eyes and leaned on Chi Cheng's back, amidst the soft sound of the piano, his heart was full of love surging like a tide.He was willing to indulge in this tide, sinking into joy, enjoying it like a sugarcane.

On the way to school in the afternoon, Dai Guochao teased and slowed down with lemon essence on his upper body:

"Hey, brother Cheng, when you were sleeping at noon today, did you hear the sound of the piano? At that time, the whole upstairs people should have just finished eating and lying on the bed. Oh, it's not easy to hear it. Goose’s god, it’s still "Love is like the tide", who is this? What is the meaning of Da Noon? Is it a confession of love? Hahaha..."

Without changing his face or squinting, Chi Cheng said, "Go your way", quickened his pace with his long legs, and threw Dai Guochao several meters away.

Dai Guochao was suddenly happy.

"Ah! Look, look, is this person shy? I've hit my point of thinking carefully, haha... Don't run away, just wait for me!"

Chi Cheng was unmoved at all, still walking like chasing the wind and chasing the sun.Dai Guochao couldn't keep up, and jumped forward to catch up.When he got to the school, he was sweating profusely. Dai Guochao was so angry that he complained to Mao Jiang:

"I will never go with Chi Cheng again, sir, bully me because of my long legs. Maomao! You are not allowed to go with him, you have to come with me!"

Xiaobawang came online domineeringly, and made a camp for Mao Jiang without leaving any room.Mao Jiang just smiled and agreed to "Okay, okay", and took out a tissue from the hole in the table and handed it to Dai Guochao who was sweating profusely.

After school in the afternoon, Dai Guochao, who usually eats the most actively, was uncharacteristically calm. Most of the people in the classroom ran away. He was still sitting in his seat and doing his homework. I didn't know how enthusiastic he was about studying.

Mao Jiang on the side didn't rush, and followed Dai Guochao's rhythm to tidy up the desks in an orderly manner.

Chi Cheng was a little strange, and asked, "Are you two going on a hunger strike?"

"Hurry up and go first, I'm thinking clearly right now, I'll go on after finishing this question."

Chi Cheng was very surprised.Does a person who used to throw away half-written words for dinner when the bell rang after school now regards learning as his lifeblood?

"Let's go, let's eat first!"

Chi Yuan was not polite either, he just took Chi Cheng's arm and walked out.

After dinner, Chi Yuan got Chi Cheng's cell phone on the pretext of looking in the mirror. When Chi Cheng was unprepared, he quickly sent a message, and then pretended to turn on the front camera, facing the camera by himself After lovingly taking photos for a long time, he dragged Chi Cheng to the classroom.

After going upstairs, Chi Cheng found that the classroom door was locked, he couldn't help being very surprised.Usually when I come back after dinner, some people in the classroom have already started reading late, but today it is actually dark, and the door is not even opened.What's going on?

Chi Cheng turned his head to look at Chi Yuan behind him.

Chi Yuan smiled and didn't explain, just knocked on the classroom door.

The classroom door opened in response to the sound, followed by two "bang bangs", and colorful fireworks scattered and fell with the crackling sound, like a shining rain of flowers, falling all over Chi Cheng's body.

The lights in the corridor came in from the door. Dai Guochao and Tong Yan respectively led a large group of men and women in the class, as if they were welcoming important guests, and stood at the door of the classroom to welcome them.In the open space behind the classroom, four desks were put together, and a three-layer black and white cake was placed in the middle.

Chi Cheng froze.

This was an accident beyond the accident, a surprise above the surprise, a grand ceremony that he had never experienced before, and a scenery that had never appeared in his life for more than 17 years.

With a sound of "pop", the lighter lit the candles on the cake, and the students seemed to have received a unified order. In the dim light of the jumping flames, amidst the burning fireworks, they sang in unison " Birthday Song".

This song was sung to Chi Cheng by everyone.Until the birthday song was over, Chi Cheng still had a dazed expression, as if he was still immersed in a dream and couldn't wake up.

"Brother Cheng! Happy birthday!"

"Student Chicheng! Congratulations!"

"Chicheng! I hope you are happy every day!"

……

It wasn't until the students' blessings rang in his ears one after another that he finally came to his senses. The scenes of the students singing for him and sending him blessings played repeatedly in his mind. He looked at this grand scene, he Looking back at Chi Yuan who was pushing him forward, he was smiling softly. He leaned close to Chi Cheng's ear and said to Chi Cheng amidst the cheers of his classmates:

"Brother Cheng, it's all my own initiative, don't blame them!"

Chi Cheng's eyes were red.He tried hard to restrain his emotions, bowed to everyone with red eyes, and said loudly in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Besides, Chi Cheng couldn't think of what else he could say.Those frequent witticisms and fine sentences seem to only appear when writing a composition. At this time, his mind is blank, and the only thing he can think of is the simplest sentence, which is worth a thousand words, "Thank you ".

There was thunderous applause and cheers, causing students from nearby classes to come to watch, and the front and rear doors of the classroom were blocked.

A female voice struggled to emerge amidst the cheers:

"Welcome our male god to come down to earth and enjoy the world of fireworks! Come on, classmate Chi Cheng! Come and make a wish and blow out the candles!"

Chi Yuan's shoulder was pressed against Chi Cheng's back, holding his shoulder, and pushed him to the cake.

"Brother Cheng! Hurry up and make a wish!"

Chi Cheng looked at the expectant eyes around him, clasped his hands into fists, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and silently recited his wish devoutly.

After opening his eyes, he blew out the candle amidst the laughter of his classmates!

When the light came on, there was already a touch of white cream on the tip of Chi Cheng's nose.

"I'm stupid! Whose claws are so fast that they snatched this first blow?"

Dai Guochao roared angrily, and while Chi Cheng was still looking at and laughing with Chi Yuan, he quickly picked off the cream with his finger and attacked Chi Cheng's face.

Mao Jiang and Tong Yan were not to be outdone, and they all left a mark of cream on Chi Cheng's face.

Chi Cheng smiled the whole time, and didn't even hide for a moment, allowing his classmates to smear him into a big face.His eyes were full of warmth and emotion, and he was completely different from the iceberg-like youth in the past.

"Hey! You guys! It's almost done, the roof is almost torn off by you, Director Gao should come over later!"

Gao Wuwu calmly reminded everyone, and Tong Yan responded immediately after hearing this:

"That's right, come on, come on, let today's birthday star share the cake with us! If you continue to make trouble, you won't have anything to eat!"

"Save the small ones on the top floor for the teachers? The teachers should be back soon, so let's send them over!"

"That's right! Come on, Brother Cheng will personally divide the cake for everyone!"

"Brother Cheng, I want chocolate!"

"Brother Cheng, leave me a strawberry!"

"Ah! There are so many people and you still pick and choose. What's wrong, you've got used to it. Go and go, whatever you get!"

"Ah... No, brother Cheng, why don't you favor me a bit!"

"Tong Yan, you girls will help Cheng Zi share a share. The knives and forks are very rich. Otherwise, you should wait for him to finish cutting the cake by himself, and he should go to study by himself next night."

"Students are queuing up! Those who want chocolate go to Brother Cheng!"

……

The classroom was full of people, as lively as a vegetable market in the early morning.Chi Cheng and a few students who helped divide the cakes took care of everyone's wishes as much as possible. The students shared the delicious cakes in an orderly manner amidst laughter and quarrels. There is one more person.
