I'm covering this scholar

"Tuk tuk." The knock on the door became more and more intense, as if it came from a distant place, Lin You was startled suddenly and woke up.

The entangled breath in the dream seems to be still lingering around the tip of the nose, but the surroundings are no longer lively and absurd in the dream, only myself.

It was already sunset outside, Lin You got out of bed restlessly amidst the knock on the door, and looked out through the cat's eyes.

It's Zhuo Jue.

Didn't he give him the key, what door did he knock on?

The dream just now came back to his mind, recalling that he was so close to Zhuo Jue in the dream, he felt ashamed and his expression was very unnatural.

There were three more knocks outside the door, and he finally took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Forgot to bring the key..." He was interrupted before he finished speaking, and a group of friends gathered in the corridor at this moment rushed up and shouted at him, "Surprise!"

what's the situation?

Lin You was stunned and speechless. "you……"

"Oh," Zhou He said, "You are so mean, you didn't tell us about your birthday in advance, you don't treat us like brothers."

One and two of them were carrying gift bags and gift boxes, and asked politely, "Brother Lin, can we go in?"

Lin You hadn't recovered from the shock, and said numbly, "I said no, can you go?"

"Of course not." Zhou He didn't agree.Lin You gouged him out, let everyone into the room, and finally grabbed Zhuo Jue, who was also standing beside him.

He gritted his teeth, "What's going on?"

Zhuo Jue walked at the end, pulled him over and led him in, closed the door as if turning his back on the guest, paused for a while, and said with a smile, "Birthday surprise."

I can't say whether it was surprise or fright, but Lin You's mood was indeed disrupted all of a sudden, and he didn't have time to take into account the previous emotions.

The people who came were those who usually hang out with each other a lot, Zhou He, Liu Liu, Chen Chen, Li Xing, and the only girl, Cheng Yingying.They are all small groups, and everyone is not very restrained, and they slumped on the sofa as soon as they came.

Seeing the host's return, they sat up straight with interest, and each handed out the gifts they brought.

When Liu Liu received the gift, he couldn't help but said, "Brother Lin, wait until we leave and then open it, so as not to cause comparisons, okay?"

Lin You was very straightforward, patted him on the shoulder, and agreed, "Okay."

The gifts of several people piled up on the table, Zhuo Jue finally put a heavy box on the gift mountain, and Lin You reached out to get it.

As a result, his hands were held down, Lin You looked up at Zhuo Jue, and raised one corner of his mouth, "What are you doing? Don't let me see the presents?"

A few other people were also booing there, "That's right, our gift is not worth seeing, we all want to see what Brother Zhuo can give."

Lin You listened, and suddenly found that in the eyes of those students, they seemed to have tacitly accepted Zhuo Jue's specialness among him.

While he was in a daze, Zhuo Jue had already refused his request to open his gift very unquestionably with a gentle appearance.

"Okay," Lin You compromised, and he vacated the gift in his room, leaving a clean table that could be hushed, "What about your surprise, is that all?"

"Of course not," Zhou He glanced at Zhuo Jue, "Have you eaten lunch, Brother Lin? If you haven't eaten, it's time for our cooking show." Several bags came out, and he said proudly, "We have all brought the ingredients."

Lin You had completely given up, and waved his hands feebly, "You can do whatever you want."

As long as the kitchen doesn't get bombed, everything is trivial.

He consoled himself.

There was a rumble in the kitchen, and there were a few screams from the macho man and reprimands from the girls.

Zhuo Jue didn't move, just sat on the sofa, as if in a daze, Lin You leaned over and waved his hand in front of him, "What about you, what are you doing?"

Lin You leaned on the sofa with his arms wide open, and his arms were suddenly hugged gently.

Zhuo Jue said, "My task today is to accompany you and be there whenever you are called."

"On call?" Lin You raised his eyebrows and repeated.

"Anything will do?"

"Yes." Zhuo Jue said.

"Okay," Lin You raised his legs like a master, and pointed to the box, "Let's take it apart."

Zhuo Jue's eyes followed his fingers and froze immediately.After a while, he said helplessly, "I..."

The conversation was interrupted by Lin You's teasing reminder, "You can do whatever you want."

Lin You was just teasing him, using this almost unreasonable way to hide his nervousness and discomfort.

Zhuo Jue really took the simple and stylish box, accompanied by a pair of scissors.

He said, "I'm right next to you, can you take it apart, okay?" He seemed to have an inexplicable insistence, Lin You could sense some of the emotions in it, took the scissors, and flinched a little.

"Forget it, if you don't want me to dismantle it now, I won't dismantle it now." He felt that he was really understanding, but at this time Zhuo Jue disagreed again, and said lightly, "Let's dismantle it."

"Okay, you said it." Lin You muttered, the scissors cut through the tape and the gap inside, and carefully opened the box.

Inside the box was a stack of postcards, and Lin You took one out of it strangely, only to realize that it was not an ordinary postcard, with a landscape and a familiar person engraved on it——

Zhuo feel.

He flipped through one by one, different landscapes, different regions, some covered by forests, some with turbulent rivers, some with sunsets, and some with sunrises. There is also a large amount of blank space.

He vaguely seemed to have guessed the meaning, and looked at the boy next to him with a complicated expression.

The boy was sitting on the seat at the moment, looking at him all the time, without moving his eyes for a moment.

As soon as Lin You opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse, and he coughed to cover up, "What do you mean by this gift?"

The sofa beside him slumped slightly, and Zhuo Jue sat down, his voice was still clear, but it was rare for him to say a lot of words at once, "I have been to many places and seen many scenery, but every time I think, Why isn't you by my side?"

"I asked someone to take pictures of me and left a big gap around me. I hope that in the future, the person who makes me feel sorry will travel with me to these places, and even more places, to fill these regretful gaps. .”

Zhuo Jue's eyes were very bright, and he just stared at Lin You without any deviation, "We met seven years ago, and this year is the eighth year. I promise that the previous things will not happen again."

Lin You only felt sore eyes, all the grievances from many years ago welled up in his brain, and his disguise was defeated and defeated under the gentle eyes of the man in front of him.

He really wanted to ask Zhuo Jue, what is your definition of this relationship.

In autumn, it gets dark earlier and earlier. The brightly lit house is divided into two areas, half of which are the cooking team in full swing, and the other half are two people who are silent and ambiguous.

"Brother Lin, Brother Zhuo, come and taste my fried steak," Zhou He rushed out with a plate in one hand and chopsticks in the other, breaking the silence of the two of them instantly.

He seemed to feel that something was wrong. He looked here and there, "What's wrong with you? Did you quarrel?"

"No." Lin You quickly denied, grabbing Zhuo Jue to cover up his gaffe just now.

"That's good." Zhou He took a piece of beef and fed it to Lin You, "Try the first piece of birthday cake first, how does it taste?"

Lin You opened his mouth, swallowed it whole, and watched the same pair of chopsticks send another piece of beef into Zhuo Jue's mouth.Almost fixed in place, seeing Zhuo Jue chewing meticulously, and then looking at the pair of chopsticks, Lin You only felt that he was about to explode.

"How is it? Why don't you talk?"

"It's delicious." The two said at the same time, looked at each other, and then looked away.Zhou He was nervous and returned to the kitchen contentedly.

The cooking team quickly cooked a large table of dishes satisfactorily, with a big cake and candles in the middle.

The candle was flickering, Zhuo Jue turned off the light, stood beside Lin You and said softly, "Make a wish."

This scene seemed very familiar, Lin You thought, clasped his hands together and made a fist, silently thinking, if you make a wish, this dream will never wake up again.

The candle was blown out, and the room was plunged into darkness for a moment. The students all cheered. Lin You was suddenly embraced in a warm embrace in the darkness, and he let go immediately. He heard a voice say.

happy Birthday.

This time I'm finally here.

The lights were brightly lit, Zhuo Jue turned on the light in the living room, his eyebrows were covered with light, and he himself was shining.

"Cut the cake!" Cheng Yingying cheered, and handed Lin You the knife. The round cakes were divided into pieces, and Lin You felt that her heart was being filled little by little.

"Tuk tuk." There was another knock on the door, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Is anyone else coming?"

"No more," Liu Liu said, "Who else will come to this point."

Lin You glanced out and was stunned for a moment. He quickly opened the door and shouted hoarsely, "Dad, Mom."

"Yuyou, happy birthday!" Mama Lin yelled, carrying a cake, and as soon as she entered the house, she realized that there were many people in the house, and she looked at herself a little helplessly.

"Oh," Papa Lin said with a smile, "I'm holding a birthday party at home. It's not the right time for us to come back."

"No," Lin You said quickly, took the cake from his mother, and put it on the table. Zhuo Jue had already rearranged the things on the table and moved out a space.

"Damn, mom and dad should come back early, and leave the night time to yourselves. No, it's too unfortunate."

Mother Lin blamed herself a little, and Zhuo Jue walked over.

"Auntie," he called, "let's eat together."

"Yes, let's go together," the small group were very enthusiastic, and they pulled Father Lin and Mother Lin to sit down.

"Okay," the couple laughed so hard they couldn't see their teeth, "You don't have to worry about us, just play as you like."

Lin You picked up a chopstick dish for his parents, and smiled while holding his chin.

For his birthday this year, he has friends, parents, Zhuo Jue, everything he didn't have before, and he feels that he should also let go.
