Chu Yun drove the car and turned on the radio. The song "Too Early" by Liu Yunle was playing on the stereo.
(I know, you pretended not to hear,
I can also know that you don’t want mine.
I know I know everything,
It's just a sign of breakup,
But I still want to make you laugh non-stop.)
Chu Yun glanced at Lin Ruoxi. She was sitting in the passenger seat without saying a word, looking at the scenery outside the window, leaving only half of her demure profile.
Chu Yun wanted to say something but didn't. The car passed through a busy downtown area, turned at an intersection, drove onto a small road, and then stopped in front of a building.
Lin Ruoxi raised her eyebrows: "Is this where you want to take me?"
Don't make people laugh when I say this, there are probably few people here who are more familiar with it than Lin Ruoxi, because a little ahead is the main entrance of Hailing Mansion.
But Chu Yun took out the car key and smiled without answering: "Get out of the car."
Chu Yun opened the car door first and went out. Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, but she followed anyway.
Chu Yun did not walk towards the main entrance, but lit a cigarette for himself, then took out his mobile phone and sent a text message.
Lin Ruoxi really couldn't figure out what Chu Yun was planning to do. She looked at him as if he was looking for something on the ground in the dark by the red light of the cigarette butt. She wanted to say that she could take out a lighter or cell phone and take a photo.
Yes, but Chu Yun's slightly high-pitched voice stopped what she was about to say: "Yes."
Chu Yun knelt down and poked the cigarette butt on the ground.
Then, something burned. Because the wicks of these candles were tied with oil threads, all the other candles that had been arranged were lit up. Some of them failed, and Chu Yun took out the candles.
Take out the lighter and refill the fire for them one by one.
The flames of the candles merged together in this dark environment and glowed red. Lin Ruoxi saw her name and the words "Happy Birthday". She felt her breath suffocate and she was almost speechless.
She originally thought that this year would be her birthday alone, but she didn't expect...
"This is?"
"It takes so much time to set up this thing. It took an hour just to set it up." Ignoring the atmosphere of the scene, Chu Yun complained at first, but then he laughed again: "Happy birthday, girl."
"Yeah." The firelight reflected a faint smile on her face.
Chu Yun thought of something and reached into his arms to take it out: "Here, this is a birthday gift for you."
Chu Yun handed a gift box to Lin Ruoxi.
Not a gentle approach at all, but for the sake of these candles, let's give him a pass.
The little girl bit her lip, quickly raised her face, and asked, "Can I take it apart and take a look?"
"Of course, let's see if you like it."
Chu Yun was smoking a cigarette while waiting for others to come down from upstairs.
However, a piece of exquisite music interrupted the tranquility in the open space. Chu Yun was attracted by the sound and couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound, and found that Lin Ruoxi was holding a small music box in her hand.
"Not bad. It's a lot of thought for you. I'm very happy..." Lin Ruoxi blinked and said.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Chu Yun immediately shouted to stop.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ruoxi looked at him in confusion, watching Chu Yun search diligently in the pockets of his clothes and coat.
Until he took out his gift box.
"I made a mistake. Zhen Yan asked me to give that to you. This is mine..." Chu Yun smiled and handed the gift over again.
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him angrily, and opened his gift again.
There was no sound for a long time after Lin Ruoxi opened the package. Chu Yun was quite confident about the gift he chose at first, but now seeing Lin Ruoxi's expression, it didn't seem like that at all.
"What's wrong, you don't like it?"
"No, I'm just thinking that you went to rob me for my birthday, and I feel a little complicated." Lin Ruoxi said while looking at the silver pendant.
"Hey, am I really that miserable in your heart?" Chu Yun smiled bitterly, "I didn't rob you, I just spent a lot of money to buy it. King Zhou You played with the princes, just to smile for the beauty.
"
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were shining. She looked at the gift in her hand for a long time and said, "Put it on for me."
Chu Yun put the cigarette in his mouth, then unlocked the necklace, held the two ends of the chain, put it around Lin Ruoxi's neck, lifted her hair and put it on for her.
This was a close physical distance. Lin Ruoxi only had to stand on tiptoes to reach him.
Her heart was beating so fast, but here she had to follow her instincts.
Just as she was staring at his face and raising her heels slightly, a group of voices came from the direction of Hailing Mansion beside her. Lin Ruoxi paused quickly, while Chu Yun turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
past.
Xu Fanhou and the others were walking over, and Chu Yun also saw Xiao Ya's figure in the welcoming team, although the smile on her face seemed a bit far-fetched.
At this time, Lin Ruoxi quickly let go of her hand, but her slightly raised head movement still caught the eyes of sharp-eyed Zhong Chuchu. Zhong Chuchu did not miss such a good opportunity to tease, covering her mouth and smiling: "Oh, oh, we
Could it be that the timing of the appearance was too unlucky to disturb the two of you?"
But Lin Ruoxi didn't focus on Zhong Chuchu at all. She walked straight past Zhong Chuchu and came to Xiao Ya: "Xiao Ya, you are here too."
"Well, congratulations on your birthday, Xiaoruo." Xiao Ya smiled.
"No one answered when I called you recently..."
"I'm really sorry, because the original mobile phone was lost, and I just recently applied for a new card." Xiao Ya explained.
"Okay, okay, let's let it light up in the open space first. There's nothing that can burn around - let's go upstairs and cut the cake."
Chu Yun looked at his watch. Most of the people here were waiting in vain, and they hadn't eaten yet, so he quickly said hello.
Returning to their base camp on the seventh floor, today in addition to the members of Lemon SLV, there were also several special guests, such as several employees of Hailing Mansion who were close to Lin Ruoxi, Uncle Liang, Sister Zhang, and Bacon.
We were invited, and the house was decorated with lights and colorful, and filled with gifts from everyone.
"Light the candles first." After looking at the table full of dishes and a lot of gifts, Chu Yun decided on his own order, placed the cake specially ordered from the cake shop in the center of the living room, and invited everyone to gather around.
Logically speaking, today is Lin Ruoxi's 18th birthday, so 18 candles were placed on the cake.
Xu Fan diligently ran over and turned off the lights, and everyone gathered around Lin Ruoxi to sing happy birthday to her.
Lin Ruoxi looked around. This year was indeed different from previous years, with so many people accompanying her.
In the past, it was only Uncle Liang and the others, so in order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Ruoxi would always go out and come back after 12 o'clock, but it is different now.
"Make a wish."
Lin Ruoxi glanced in Chu Yun's direction, then closed her eyes.
When she blew out all the candles in one breath, everyone present applauded her.
The lights were turned on again, and everyone gathered around Lin Ruoxi, surrounding her like a star in the center of the circle. They all presented birthday gifts to her and expressed birthday wishes to her.
Of course, some of these blessings are fishy in troubled waters.
For example——
"Congratulations, Ruoxi, you are one year older." Zhong Chuchu said, "Oh, Chuchu's mouth is so stupid. Ruoxi will always be as beautiful as now, and her breasts are also small, eh, Chuchu
I said the wrong thing again."
Although Zhong Chuchu's words were full of ridicule, the gift she gave was not ambiguous at all. The handbag she gave looked very expensive at first glance, as if it was brought back from abroad.
"Let's just say thank you."
"555555, Chu Chu's treatment is so bad."
As for Zhong Chuchu, I would never have thought of celebrating her birthday with her before. Next was Chen Xuyang. He handed a beautifully wrapped box to Lin Ruoxi's hand in a somewhat dull manner.
There is no need to guess the value of the contents inside. Chen Xuyang was slightly disappointed that Lin Ruoxi did not open it. However, he still received Lin Ruoxi's thanks, which seemed to make him willingly worth the price.
.
Now, everyone's gifts were almost given, and Lin Ruoxi began to cut the cakes with her own hands, and then distributed them to everyone, but when she looked around, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be two fewer people in the room.
"Where did Chu Yun go?" Lin Ruoxi seemed to have a bad premonition.
At this time, Chen Xuyang, who had just entered the bathroom after going to the toilet, pointed towards the corridor outside: "I just saw that they seemed to have gone to the rooftop."
(Lyrics: I know, it’s almost endless,
It's too late to repay your kindness to me.
You know I don’t know,
What should be used to calculate?
To exchange every dark hug.)
On the rooftop, Xiao Ya hugged Chu Yun tightly.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yun was a little confused as to why Xiao Ya was suddenly so abnormal. Her mood seemed to have gradually stabilized recently, and she gradually accepted the fact that she broke up with her boyfriend. But just now, she became sad again.
"Chu Yun, I'm so scared..."
"What are you afraid of? I'm right here with you." Chu Yun laughed and touched Xiao Ya's head.
The two looked at each other.
"Kiss me." she demanded.
Chu Yun stared at Xiao Ya's eyes, then watched her close her eyes and slowly pressed her lips to hers.
This kiss had a salty taste like sea water, a little moist and a little bitter.
When his lips separated from hers, he looked into Xiao Ya's eyes again, but Xiao Ya's eyes were full of fear. Chu Yun felt surprised, but those eyes were not looking directly at him.
, but stared behind Chu Yun.
Chu Yun turned around with doubts and some premonition.
Behind them, two figures stood.
Lin Ruoxi stood there straight, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Lin Ruoxi opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but there was a ball of cotton stuck in her throat. She wanted to force a smile to deal with it, but in her wide-open eyes, her vision was completely blurred, and something kept flowing from her eyes.
came out.
Hey, why, why are you crying?
I obviously don't want to cry, but the tears can't stop...
"Girl?"
That was something Chu Yun had never seen her show before. She tried her best to reach out and wipe her tears, but it soon turned into a heavy rain and blurred her face.
Chu Yun forgot to speak, forgot to move, and even forgot to breathe. He could only watch her turn around and stumble away. Chen Xuyang, who came up with Lin Ruoxi, glanced at Chu Yun and also
He quickly chased after him.
Chu Yun seemed to understand something.
Chu Yun had no time to tell who made the mistake for whom.
Unconsciously, he had taken a step forward.
However, Chu Yun soon realized that there was another girl behind him.
"Go and get her back!" Xiao Ya said with her head lowered.
Chu Yun nodded and ran down the rooftop as fast as he could, but he didn't see Xiao Ya behind him, kneeling on the ground like a puppet that had lost its support. The one flying in the wind had already been disconnected.
tears.
(I know you left too early,
I also want to help him buy the right ticket for you,
Who knows my fascination,
At least it's worth you snickering behind my back.
I know you left too early,
I also wish you a long life together in advance,
Everyone knew that there would come a time like this,
