The water in the pot was gurgling and boiling, and the white steam was pressing against the lid of the pot restlessly, trying to get out of the pot.

Shi Jin stood by the door, her expression slightly paused.

Yes, today seems to be his birthday too.

Shijin's birthday is on the same day as Mid-Autumn Festival, every year.

It's just that after his parents abandoned him and went abroad when he was five years old, he never celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Birthdays too.

He doesn't like Mid-Autumn Festival, and he doesn't like celebrating birthdays, so all the information about birthdays on his certificate is wrong, and he never remembers which day is Mid-Autumn Festival.

After a long time, Wang Ma and Shi Yi are used to giving him blessings according to the date on the certificate, and there is only time, and they will persistently take him to eat mooncakes with her on the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and serve him after enjoying the moon. cake, and sang happy birthday to him with a smile.

The video happened to be at the end, and a girl's soft and happy singing voice came from her hand: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Shi Jin came back to his senses and turned off the video.

He pursed his lips, sent Time the same happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and then turned off his phone.

The water in the pot has boiled.

He threw the thawed chicken breast into it, and the boiling water that was still boiling just now calmed down instantly.

When the chicken breast was cooked, Shijin took out the meat, cut it into small pieces and put it in a small black bowl.

Xiao Hei Miao crawled out of the rabbit's nest with a whimper, ran to the bowl with his eyes fully open, and rubbed his owner's trouser legs coquettishly before eating.

Shi Jin bent her lips, reached out and rubbed Xiao Hei's head.

Xiaobai and Coal also woke up, staring at him with two pairs of water red eyes.

Shi Jin took two small pieces of carrots for them, and watched the two rabbits, one big and one small, gnawing on the carrots, and his heart, which was still a little dazed just now, calmed down slightly.

Shi Jin washed his hands, and when he walked out of the kitchen, his footsteps stopped slightly, and his eyes stopped briefly at the entrance.

Speaking of which, since he came back from City B, he seemed to have not seen Yu Ci for a few days.

The fireworks outside the window are still crackling, and the colorful fireworks draw colorful paintings under the night.

Shi Jin suddenly lost his mood.

He lowered his eyelids and turned around calmly.

"Crack-"

The sound of the door lock turning came from the entrance.

Shi Jin paused slightly, then turned around.

There is no light in the living room, only the bright light from top to bottom when the fireworks explode outside the window invades from top to bottom, the dim light penetrates the glass of the balcony, and outlines a long blurred shadow of coldness and loneliness on the clean floor of the living room.

Shi Jin stood in the shadows, looking up at the entrance.

The night in September has become a bit cool, and the coolness is mixed in the air, refreshing like mint water in summer.

The door was closed, and a tall figure appeared at the entrance.

"Close your eyes."

Hearing this slightly deep voice, Shi Jin subconsciously closed her eyes.

"Snapped--"

The chandelier above the head started its work after a soft sound.

The closed eyelids dimly felt a little orange-yellow light, slightly bright and slightly warm.

Shi Jin stood still for a while, and opened his eyes after getting used to the light.

Yu Ci had already changed his shoes, and he put the box in his hand on the table with natural movements, his sharp eyebrows and eyes were softly illuminated by the warm light above his head: "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"It's open." Shi Jin explained, with a clear voice just like this cool night: "Just closed."

"have you eaten?"

Shi Jin didn't eat, but he pursed his lips: "Eat."

"En." Yu Ci nodded, as if he was just asking casually: "I'll go up first."

"it is good."

The sound of footsteps stepping on the stairs gradually faded away, leaving the living room in silence.

Shi Jin stood there for a while, then turned and went into the study.

A dimly warm lamp was turned on in the study, and a faint light spilled into the living room through the crack of the door.

Shi Jin sorted out her thoughts, and typed a line of words on the keyboard with her fingertips.

With the beginning, the following plot will naturally flow smoothly, Shi Jin pursed her lips, and her fingertips landed on the keyboard quickly.

"Snapped--"

Until a certain moment, the lights in the study suddenly went out.

Shi Jin stopped her fingertips, her thoughts were a little confused.

power cut?

There was no light in the study, only the computer screen was on, and the faint white light barely reflected the space around the desk.

Shi Jin pursed her lips and got up.

He didn't bring his mobile phone to the study, so he could only walk out of the study with the help of the faint light of the computer.

There were also no lights in the corridors.

Shi Jin pressed the switch in the corridor, but the light didn't turn on.

A man's voice came from the same dark living room: "Shijin?"

"En." Shi Jin responded lightly, and asked again: "Is it a power outage?"

"It should be." Yu Ci's voice was separated by a distance: "The utility bill is in arrears."

"I remember there are candles in the living room, I'll find out and use them first."

There are indeed candles in the drawer in the living room, and Shi Jin saw it when she was looking for things before.

He responded and walked to the living room: "I'll come."

"Don't move!"

Shi Jin's footsteps paused slightly.

"I found it." Yu Ci's voice came closer, and then Shi Jin heard the sound of a lighter being turned on, as if Yu Ci was lighting a candle.

Before the lighter was lit with a candle, Yu Ci said, "Sudden light can hurt your eyes, so close your eyes first."

With the previous precedent of turning on the light in the living room, Shi Jin has no doubt about him.

He closed his eyes, and at the same time, his sharp nose smelled the smell of burning candles.

"Are you ready?" He heard Yu Ci's footsteps coming this way.

The candle wax smell from the burning candle seemed to be getting closer. I don't know if it was Shi Jin's illusion. He even smelled a hint of sweet milk fragrance in the candle wax smell.

The footsteps stopped in front of him: "Okay."

Yu Ci's voice with a smile rang in his ears: "Open your eyes."

Shi Jin opened her eyes.

The warm yellow candlelight radiates bright orange light, illuminating people's vision slightly.

Shi Jin tilted her head slightly, and only looked in front of her after her eyes got used to the light.

Under the bright candlelight, there is a cake dotted with snow-white cream.

Shi Jin's gaze stopped.

"Roommate." Yu Ci called him.

Maybe it's because of staying up too late recently, Shi Jin's thinking is strangely slow at this moment.

He heard Yu Ci's words, but he didn't think about it as if he was blocked: "...Huh?"

The brain didn't stop running, but simply played back the scene just now in his mind, and the triangular progress bar became very clear when it reached the scene where the candlelight was on.

The warm yellow line extended from the man's slightly hooked lips to the tall bridge of the nose, paused slightly in front of the peach blossom eyes with a lazy smile, and then extended all the way to the protruding Adam's apple.

He pursed his lips and raised his brows, showing Shi Jin's usual and familiar appearance.

But not the same.

Yu Ci raised the corners of his lips, and the smile in his eyes completely spread: "Happy birthday."

Shi Jin came back to her senses, her lips pursed slightly: "...Thank you."

Yu Ci was holding the cake, and Shi Jin couldn't understand the depth of emotion in his twinkling peach eyes, he curled the corners of his lips, smiling: "Make a wish."

"...a wish?"

"Well, three wishes." Yu Ci hooked his lips: "Say the first two, and make the last one in your heart."

Shi Jin paused slightly: "...I have no wish."

"You can promise peace and success, you can promise success in your career, of course, you can also—"

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows, and the smile deepened on the corner of his mouth: "...Maybe you have me in the future."

When Shizuo lowered his eyelids, his eyes fell on the cake dyed with candles.

Closing his eyes, Shi Jin glanced at Yu Ci.

The man's outstanding face was hidden in the darkness behind the candlelight, only his smiling eyes were reflected in the light, bright and gorgeous, just like colorful fireworks burning outside the window.

The thin white eyelids drooped, and Shi Jin closed his eyes: "One promise, relatives and friends are safe and well."

"Er Xu, the future will be smooth and smooth."

"Three promises..."

Shi Jin paused, and for a while, he made a strange mistake——

Allow me to have you in the future.

He opened his eyes and blew out the lit candles on the cake.

-

The warm temperature in Spring City came to an end after the National Day.

There was once a saying that one can know the depth of autumn when a leaf falls. From Chuncheng's point of view, this saying is indeed appropriate.

The leaves on the roadside are dyed red or yellow when the autumn colors first come, and they are covered with crimson clothes after the deep autumn. Accompanied by the cool autumn wind, they flutter and fall to the soil.

When Shi Jin arrived with the autumn breeze, the warm sun above her head had already turned into a pool of drunken red oil paintings.

He looked up at the signboard in front of the door, put away his umbrella, and stepped up the stone steps.

This is what Shi Yi saw when he came out.

Above the head is the gorgeous evening sun that wantonly infects the world. The young man walked slowly from under the eaves like this, shaking off the broken light that fell on the corner of the windbreaker, neither fast nor slow, and his complexion was pale.

Across the huge artistic stone statue in front of the store, Shi Yi smiled and said, "Shi Jin, here!"

Shi Jin looked sideways, and his shallow eyes accurately identified the position.

He walked towards Shi Yi.

Shi Yi opened the store door for him: "Do you have any ideas about clothing?"

Shi Jin pursed her lips: "No."

"It's okay if you don't." Shi Yi responded simply: "Then let the designer recommend it to you."

"what--"

Shi Yi stared at Shijin's wrist suddenly: "When did you start wearing jade?"

He stared straight at the red string on Shijin's wrist, a little puzzled: "I remember you didn't have it before."

Shi Jin lowered his eyes, followed his gaze to his wrist - a white jade attached to a red string was shaking slightly with his movements.

Shi Jin raised her eyes, and the corners of her lips were shallow: "It was a gift from a friend."

Seeing his expression, Shi Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Friend? Which friend do I know?"

He asked several questions in a row, and suddenly thought: "Could it be the person who rents with you?"

Shi Jin didn't look at him: "You talk a lot."

Shi Yi felt that he had guessed right, so he deliberately sighed: "If you have a new love, then don't want me as an old love."

Shi Jin stopped: "You can't come in."

Shi Yi hurriedly followed: "Jin Jin Jin, here we come."

SUKU is a well-known high-end custom brand in Spring City. It occupies a place among many high-end brands with its luxurious and concise design style.

And because of the extreme production, many famous people in Chuncheng will come to his house to customize clothes.

Theoretically speaking, SUKU's custom order has already been queued for a year later, and many big shots who wanted to jump in the queue were strictly rejected.

Shi Yi is not a big shot, but the design director of SKKU happens to be his cousin.

After learning that the time of the author conference was set, Shi Yi immediately thought of Shi Jin.

Shi Jin doesn't like to go out or socialize on weekdays, so she definitely doesn't have the dresses to attend, so Shi Yi directly called his cousin and made an appointment to have the clothes tailored today.

In addition to customizing, SUKU also makes ready-to-wear, so there are some customers who look at the clothes in the store besides them.

A staff member in uniform greeted him: "Hi, do you have an appointment?"
