Yaoyuan prepared a birthday gift for Tan Ruikang.

On your birthday, please go to the barbecue restaurant in China Plaza. Lin Xi smiled and said, "I admire you for a long time, my brother Milk, you are so famous. You are the top ten most popular figures in the university town of the year."

Yaoyuan smiled and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Lin Xi said: "Yes! Didn't the milk tea shop ask you to go back to work? Last time I went to buy a cup of milk tea, and many people were asking you."

Yaoyuan said: "I called me, but I don't have time to go. I'm too busy with my junior year."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Your brother talks about you every day. When you see him every time, you will talk about you every three and a half words. When I went to buy milk tea during the summer vacation, why didn't you give me a thread?"

Yaoyuan was stunned and then said, "Have you been here too?"

Lin Xi said: "Yes, I was wearing a braid at that time..."

Yaoyuan: "Ah! You are that..."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "You must have forgotten, forget it, remember to give me a discount next time."

The distance is so funny and laughed: "Okay."

Tan Ruikang parked the car and sat with Yaoyuan, saying, "The location is wrong, get out to the opposite side."

Lin Xi smiled so hard that her stomach hurt. Tan Ruikang said: "It doesn't matter, just sit like this..."

Yaoyuan kicked him to the opposite side of the table and said, "Get out!"

Tan Ruikang went over and sat next to Lin Xi, leaned on the table, stretched his hands under the table to tie his shoelaces, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Talk about how to celebrate Xiaoyuan's birthday."

Yaoyuan smiled and didn't say anything. Tan Ruikang said, "How can I live without a chat?"

"Aren't you here now?" Lin Xi and Yaoyuan said in unison.

Tan Ruikang shook his head and said, "There is no way to deal with you. Now you two are riding on my head together. Alas! Order the food and bring the menu."

"Come on, Ma Liu, I will give you a birthday gift." Lin Xi took two paper bags, one for Tan Ruikang and the other for Yaoyuan, and said, "Xiaoyuan also has one."

Yaoyuan said: "What is this?"

Tan Ruikang opened the packaging inside and it was a plaid shirt. Yaoyuan also had one, the style was exactly the same. Yaoyuan said: "Thank you, thank you so much, I didn't prepare a gift for you..."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Hey, don't say that. When I first met you two outside a Chinese worker, Xiaoyuan wore this brand of clothes. My cousin also has one. You guys seem to like this brand very much."

Tan Ruikang said: "You only pay attention to him."

Lin Xi said: "That's right, Xiaoyuan is so dazzling...you can order food."

Tan Ruikang: "Let's stay away."

He said far away: "Click."

The three of them pushed the menu and finally Lin Xi ordered the dishes. The barbecue that came with Yaoyuan liked to eat. He didn't like eating mutton. Lin Xi didn't order, and the chicken wings and tribute balls he ordered were all the ones Yaoyuan wanted to order.

During the meal, Lin Xi liked Yaoyuan very much. He kept asking questions from him in three sentences. He almost didn't say much about Tan Ruikang. Yaoyuan kept hurting Tan Ruikang endlessly. Lin Xi just smiled and didn't lose with him.

Yaoyuan even doubted whether she would like herself again after she went back to dinner.

During this period, Tan Ruikang went to the bathroom, and Lin Xi said, "Are you going to mess with him today? Do you need my cooperation?"

Yaoyuan smiled and said, "No, but I will mess with him. I will mess with him once every year on my birthday."

After dinner, Yaoyuan took out a box and said, "Brother, I'll give this to you, you can go back first."

Tan Ruikang looked at the box and said far away: "You can open it any time, it's best to open it later. I'll go back by myself, you can go for a walk."

Tan Ruikang said: "No, I'll send you back."

Yaoyuan said: "No, you will know when you open the box, I'll leave."

He walked backwards and said, "You will open it after I walk away, remember!"

Tan Ruikang: "I'll send you back!"

Lin Xi said: "Listen to him, stop chasing him, and see what it is first."

After running away, Tan Ruikang was confused. When he opened the box, Lin Xi couldn't help laughing.

Inside is a hotel room card plus a box of condoms.

Leaning on the iron rod of the subway from afar, quietly watching the yellow light on the platform.

Early the next morning, Tan Ruikang sent him a text message: [Brother, thank you for your birthday gift, but don’t do this next time, we are not that far... She blew all the condoms into balloons and played with them.]

Yaoyuan turned off his phone when he woke up in the morning.

Yaoyuan started to take his professional courses, and Tan Ruikang didn't understand these courses, and they were two different directions from his major.

Tan Ruikang is no longer omnipotent, and it is useless to accompany Yaoyuan to class. Both of them have many junior high school courses and it is very difficult, so they each do their own experiments.

It is impossible to tutor him for professional knowledge anymore. I can only remind him from time to time not to skip classes and remember to listen.

Yaoyuan can only rely on himself. He studied hard. He had no talent in communication engineering and even the entire science subject, and he did not like this course. But he could only do his best to learn it and could not fail the subject.

He didn't understand Tan Ruikang's automation even more. The two of them learned their own learning, but every day, as long as Tan Ruikang had no classes, they would definitely come to find Yaoyuan for dinner. If Tan Ruikang had classes in the evening, Lin Xi would come to find Yaoyuan, run to his classroom to sit with him, help him take notes, chat, bring him some small things, and accompany him for dinner.

The classmates in the class thought Lin Xi was the girlfriend of Yaoyuan’s foreign school, so Yaoyuan smiled and introduced to them, "This is my sister."

He could see that Lin Xi was trying hard to find a way to enter his life, but he couldn't stand it. He didn't want to have too much contact with Lin Xi. Lin Xi's enthusiasm and kindness made him almost unable to refuse.

One day in October, he had a cold, but no one said that he skipped class and slept in the dormitory for a day. When Lin Xi came to find him, he found that he was not in class, so he called him and bought some medicine to deliver it. That night, Tan Ruikang also came and touched his head to confirm if he had a fever.

After the cold, Yaoyuan had a little coughing, so Lin Xi stewed rock sugar pears in her dormitory and brought them to him for drink.

Yaoyuan wanted to die, but he didn't know what to do. He couldn't even hate him. He would rather Lin Xi be a person like Shu Yan, at least he had an imaginary enemy.

His love for Tan Ruikang and his hatred for falling in love finally changed directions and fell into his own heart. He could not resolve it and accumulated more and more. He suspected that he would go crazy one day, so he decided to change cities after graduation, find a job, and start over.

But before that, Tan Ruikang would come to him, and sometimes he would come with Lin Xi, exactly the same as before, which made Yao Yuan unable to even find an opportunity to blame him.

"You should spend more time with Lin Xi." Yaoyuan said: "Don't always run to me, otherwise it will be unfair to her."

Tan Ruikang smiled and said, "She asked me to come to you for dinner in class. They have a lot of classes this semester."

Yaoyuan said: "I have a lot of classes, too."

Tan Ruikang was stunned and then said, "Xiaoyuan, are you unhappy?"

Yaoyuan said: "No, I was scolded by the teacher when doing an experiment today..."

Tan Ruikang said: "Or should I invite a senior brother to tutor you?"

Yaoyuan hurriedly said: "No, look at my experimental book. I did a good job in the experiment. Today, I was the best one in the class..."

Tan Ruikang said: "I'm scolded when I did the best?"

Yaoyuan was stunned at first, and then said, "Because I was late for half a class."

Tan Ruikang was amused and cried, saying, "You have been like this since you were a child."

After the cold, Yaoyuan still had a little cough, her face was a little pale and her hair was long.

He didn't want to see Tan Ruikang again, he just wanted to say to him, let me go and don't come again. He had to find something to refuse Tan Ruikang's care for him, otherwise he would drive himself crazy.

A few days later, Yaoyuan said to a cute little girl in the library: "Qingqing, can you do me a favor?"

Qingqing: "Ah? How do you know my name?"

After a moment of quietness, Yaoyuan said, "I want to find someone to pretend to be my girlfriend, okay? Do you mind?"

Qingqing looked at Yaoyuan a little strangely and finally nodded.

She was one year older than Yaoyuan. A few days later, Yaoyuan took Qingqing with Tan Ruikang and Lin Xi to have dinner together. He and Tan Ruikang sat in the front row, and Lin Xi held Qingqing and chatted in the back row. The four of them were talking and laughing, Yaoyuan did not say who Qingqing was his own, and Tan Ruikang did not ask.

After returning, the relationship was considered as certain.

Qingqing took the gift Lin Xi gave her and said, "What should I do if this?"

I took a look away from afar and saw two couples scarves.

"You keep it." Yaoyuan said: "My sister-in-law has a little bit of his heart."

"Milk boy." Qingqing said: "Do your brother want you to date?"

Yaoyuan shook his head and said, "I want my brother to go and have a date."

Qingqing's eyebrows frowned beautifully, Yaoyuan smiled and said, "Don't always frown, it's easy to grow old. No matter whether you are happy or not, you should be happy outside."

He stretched out his fingers to relax Qingqing's brows, like a polite gentleman, and said, "Good night."

In the next week, every time Tan Ruikang or Lin Xi came to see him for dinner, he would bring Qingqing with him.

He slowly began to send text messages to Tan Ruikang or Lin Xi, saying that he would accompany Qingqing to class or go on a date with her, and told them not to come to him tonight.

Tan Ruikang finally came less, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he achieved his distant goal.

In November, the weather turned colder, I sat on the roadside far away and sent a text message to Tan Ruikang: [Brother, I want to spend my birthday this year with my wife.]

Tan Ruikang: [Xiaoyuan, do you want your brother if you are in love?]

Yaoyuan looked around with his cell phone, thinking that it was time to change his cell phone. It's been so many years, and he still remembers when Zhao Guogang bought them a cell phone, Tan Ruikang was so moved that he cried.

He didn't reply to the text message, Qingqing came out of the classroom and said far away: "Here!"
