Chapter 36: Happy birthday under the camera

"A Heng...really?" The girl opposite was drunk, "If you sincerely advise, I wonder if you would take it to heart?"
"What?" A Heng was stunned, and there was noisy surroundings. After being poured a few glasses of wine by Si Wan and Yan Xi's old classmates, his consciousness was a little dull.
Today, it was Si Wan and Yanxi's junior high school classmates gathering. Seeing that she was bored at home, Yanxi pulled her over.
I thought it would be embarrassing, but unexpectedly, it was a group of really cute people who were together, drinking, and chatting without much alienation.
Next to them, Yanxi and Si Wan whispered in whispers, and they were laughing happily without knowing what they were talking about.
Sitting next to her was Yanxi's former tablemate, a beautiful and clean girl, who was joking with Yanxi, which was also related to each other.
"Stay away from words." The girl sighed as she looked at her.
"Huh?" A Heng had a drunken nasal voice.
"I mean..." The girl attached to her ear.
"What are you talking to Aheng, Lin Wanwan?" Yan Xi slightly raised her glass and interrupted her.
"Tell me about your glorious deeds in junior high school. Every time you finish a bad thing, you throw the evidence on someone else's desk, and then pretend to be white and innocent. Everyone doesn't know how many times you have been criticized by the class leader!" .
"You still remember the old rotten millet!" Yan Xi smiled, "Ah, I said Lin Wanwan, don't have a crush on me! Pay attention to Lao Tzu."
"Fart!" Lin Wanwan cursed with a smile.
Others laughed: "My buddy, since junior high school, I love to watch these two jokes, every time they can make people die."
"But there was such a thing at that time, Yanxi, you are not kind, who was the one who was most affected at the time?" Someone thought.
"Who's all nonsense, who else is there besides Si Wan?" Someone was angry.
Yan Xi kicked the two of them: "Go on, so and so, don't think that Lao Tzu is so dedicated to bullying Wen Siwan, remember the love letter that the school flower back then, it was written to Lao Tzu..."
"Damn! Our brothers also fought for a whole semester because of the ownership of the love letter. It turned out to be written to you! Brothers, come on, get rid of this disaster and help the people!"
A group of boys fought and made a mess, and looked like a smoky, lawless look.
"Aheng, you have the right to watch a joke." Si Wan walked to Aheng and handed her a bottle of juice.
"Wen Si Wan... Si Wan, I toast you a glass of wine." Lin Wanwan stood up, walking a little erratic, his cheeks were unnaturally red after drunk.
"Lin Wanwan, you are drunk." Si Wan smiled, revealing a refreshing dimple.
"The old classmate asked you to drink, do you want to drink or not?!" Lin Wanwan raised the beer and handed it to the young man, staring wide-eyed with an angry and charming appearance.
"It's eleven o'clock." Si smiled at the watch, and calmed down, "Wanwan, you go home drunk, aunt will worry about it alone."
"What about you? Wen Siwan, how about you?" Lin Wanwan smiled and murmured.
Si Wan frowned slightly and kept silent.
Aheng looked at the sky, feeling that he heard something that he shouldn't listen to.
A gust of wind blew her black hair messed up, and she stretched out her hand to push her ears, but there was a soft cold in her fingers.
Turning back, it was Yanxi's smile. He took her hand to the other side, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Children, making light bulbs is annoying."
Ahengmo nodded.
In a blink of an eye, the man smiled brightly, and pulled her to the front of a group of old classmates with a proud and proud expression: "Look, look, this is my A Heng, he looks pretty, cooks but delicious, and talks cute. It's also fun, how about it?"
Everyone laughed: "Yanxi, Yanxi, don't choke to death, say such a string of words."
Yan Xi bared his teeth: "A group of uneducated people know what is articulate?"
"Hey, isn't A Heng saying that it is Si Wan's sister? How did you become your family?"
"Fart! This is obviously my daughter!"
It is conclusive and plausible.
Aheng stunned, and roared: "Ah! Yanxi, it's so noisy!"
Yanxi shut up, turned around, with an apologetic expression: "We, Aheng, are just shy. We are still very gentle and good children. Don't get me wrong... Who, don't laugh... Ah, yes, yes, just say it. As for you, big fat, don't you tremble, all the fat is shaking out."
Everyone Khan said in unison: "We Aheng...Thanks for your hard work!"
Aheng went back softly and happily: "Serve the people."
Everyone laughed, this child is also a treasure.
The boy called the big fat laughed particularly hard: "Yanxi, I haven't laughed so happily since you dropped out of school that year."
The atmosphere, suddenly, became a little cold.
Drop out of school? Who? Yanxi?
A Heng was puzzled and looked at the people. Everyone seemed to think of something, and his expression became a little subtle.
Yanxi smiled: "Do you still remember our next class Banhua? I was so fascinated at the time, but now I don't know what happened?"
Everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, it's been a long time, I don't know what happened, you have always been charming."
"you are welcome."
Yanxi greeted her with a smile, taking Aheng, and left calmly with a smile when her ears were hot.
Walking to the front of the hotel, Si Wan and Lin Wanwan were arguing about something.
"Si Wan, if this continues, you will be dragged down by Yanxi, and your life will be completely destroyed by him!" The girl said fiercely and loudly.
"Lin Wanwan, you don't understand Axi, don't talk nonsense." Si Wan's eyes were a little cold.
"He looks like a time bomb. I don't know when it will explode and it will hurt you." Lin Wanwan was a little bit depressed, his words depressed.
Yanxi stood not far away, her eyes light and unpredictable.
A Heng pursed his lips and said in a clean voice: "Go home."
"Don't you want to listen?" Yanxi's voice was unreal with clouds drifting past.
"Listening to the foot of the wall is not what a gentleman should do, right?" Aheng smiled.
"A Heng, I dropped out of school. It was the third year of junior high school." Yan Xi put her hand in her pocket, glanced at the two people who were still focused on the dispute not far away, and spoke lightly.
Aheng nodded.
"Because... I fell ill and spent a long time recuperating at home. Lin Wanwan accidentally saw me being sick." The boy had a cool voice and a cool tone.
"That's it." A Heng lowered his head, and under the street lamp, the shadows of the two people stretched very long.
"Then the doctor said, this disease will recur."
"And then?" A Heng raised his eyes slightly.
"Then, no more." Yan Xi sighed, her fingertips hanging down lightly.
"Oh." She nodded, remembering how uneasy Yan had been with Yanxi when Yan was leaving. She frowned and let go again.
"A Heng, I know, what Lin Wanwan wants to say to you today." Under the street lamp, sparse pedestrians, he stared into the distance, thinking of something.
"What?" Aheng smiled. In fact, she didn't want to know much.
"Yanxi is a candy wrapped in poison. No matter how sweet it is, there is so much viciousness." Yanxi's voice is extremely calm.
"How do you know?" A Heng sniffed.
"She told me just now, before eating." Yanxi gently clenched her hand into a fist, placed it on her lips, and smiled slightly.
Aheng rubbed her heart lightly, wondering if there was some discomfort there, she felt that she could hear the sound of tearing the paper.
"Why tell me?"
Yanxi turned around and stopped, still with big clear eyes, looking into the warm light in the depths.
"I taught you your dirty words."
A Heng was embarrassed. A few days ago, Chen Juan gave Yanxi vividly the scene of her swearing that day.
"So, only I can tell you bad things about me."
laugh.
This is what a proud thing, and it deserves to be so solemn.
Aheng shook his head, convinced.
In July, the sky was already very hot, small insects dangling, accompanied by crickets' calls, it was also lively.
Originally, they took a taxi home, but the two took out their pockets, and together, it was less than ten yuan.
If the two go out for a specific purpose, neither of them has the habit of bringing money.
How to do?
Yanxi grabbed the crumpled money, looked at the clean noodle stall with the light in front, and smiled: "Go, eat the noodles."
A Heng wondered: "Is it enough?"
Yanxi stretched out a finger: "One bowl is enough."
Aheng nodded, with an expression of "I knew it": "I watched you while you were eating, right?"
Yanxi's black line: "I'm enlightened in your heart? I'm a man anyway, alright, huh!"
Aheng smiled: "Oh? Then I will eat you and watch."
The boy had no confidence: "Let's eat together."
Aheng pursed his lips and smiled disgusted: "No, you love spitting so much..."
Yan Xiang: "When do I love spitting!"
A Heng stepped back with a solemn expression: "Now, with you as the center, water molecules are spreading..."
The teenager became angry from embarrassment: "I shouldn't have taught you how to speak Mandarin, a dead child, you can speak smoothly!"
A Heng didn’t buy it, and he spread his hands:
I’m self-taught, it has nothing to do with you. What else do you teach except for those that begin with the word
Ma
.
Yanxi waved her hand, angrily: "Eating noodles, I'm starving to death!"
The noodle cooker was a young girl who looked like a fourteen or five-year-old.
"Is this girl a child laborer?" Yanxi whispered to Aheng.
"Bah! How to say it, you are a child laborer, your whole family is child laborer!" The little girl despised.
Yan Xi pouted: "Are you eighteen? Take out your ID card, household registration, and health permits!"
"Why should I show you, who are you?"
"Why should I tell you who I am, who you are, you!"
"Somewhere in the middle of the night, did you kick the stall!!" The little girl went crazy.
A Heng stepped forward and laughed: "Little sister, a bowl of noodles, no dried shrimps, cook more crispy meat." Then he squinted at Yanxi.
What an older girl, she can still quarrel with others, she is completely mentally unsound.
Yanxi blinked her big eyes, whistling and looking at the sky innocently.
In this room, the little girl gave Yanxi a fierce look, turned around, and started cooking noodles. After a while, the crystal clear noodles, all the ingredients, and the bone broth gurgling on the side came into the pot quickly.
"It smells good." After a while, A Heng smiled as he smelled the fragrance of his face everywhere.
"It's not me. The noodles we make are the best in our street." The little girl proudly held the noodles and put them in front of A Heng.
"It's so amazing, I have to taste it today." A Heng smiled and handed the soup spoon and chopsticks to Yanxi.
The little girl was very winked, and held a pair of bowls and chopsticks again, before leaving, she did not forget to snorted at Yanxi with her nose.
"Are you annoying?" A Heng sneered.
Yanxi rolls the noodles with chopsticks and spreads them into the spoon, one by one, with a shiny color.
He stretched out the spoon to A Heng, and said casually, "This little girl is as fierce as the thief when Lin Wanwan was a child."
A Heng was stunned for a while before he took the spoon and put it in his mouth unconsciously. The chewy noodles were delicious and delicious.
He also lowered his head, wheezing and eating noodles, his side face under the faint light cast a faint shadow, and his face was a bit unclear.
Suddenly, Aheng felt that this scene seemed familiar.
Oh yes, she saw him for the first time in front of the breakfast stall in the alley, and she was also profiled like this.
However, at that time, the young man's hair was still long, almost without his neck, right now, it was short and thin at the ear.
"Hey, it's getting on my hair again." A Heng sighed, took out his handkerchief, and wiped the soup on the broken hair of Yanxi's forehead.
"It's really troublesome to have more hair." Yanxi raised her smooth forehead and smiled. She took a piece of crispy meat from the bowl and put it on Aheng's lips, "eat."
A Heng smiled and carefully took the meat with another pair of chopsticks before daring to put it in the mouth.
"Hey, are my chopsticks poisonous?"
"...Slobber."
"..."
In the past few days, Yanxi was behind Aheng, hesitating to speak, dangling like a tail.
"Are you busy?" Aheng tried his best to be calm.
"Heng Heng..." The smile was bright.
"Speak well!" A Heng lost his goose bumps.
"Uh...A Heng, you should know what the day after tomorrow is, right?" Seriously for a minute.
"What day, of course, is the day when you return to school to get your transcript!" A Heng said plausibly.
"Mao? Why don't I know that I will get my report card the day after tomorrow?" Yanxi was shocked.
Aheng sniffed: "I remember you were tearing books and stacking airplanes."
"This world is so cruel to me, I even let Lao Tzu know such bad news on the day of great joy..." Yan Xi burst into tears.
"What big day? Are you engaged or married?" A Heng leaned over, piercingly.
"Fart! Lao Tzu's birthday!" Yanxi rubbed her hair and pointed angrily, "As the daughter of this young man, you don't even know this young man's birthday, it hurts him too much!"
"Oh, go to the living room and it hurts, don't block in the kitchen, it's too hot." A Heng smiled lightly.
"Hengheng! My daughter Wen Hengheng!"
"roll!"
Get your transcript, oh, it’s said that it’s someone’s birthday. The classmates gathered around a group and muttered: "Ah, you guys say that the beautiful lady is so sad today because I didn’t do well in the exam or I was broken in love. Dude, come over and place a bet! Hurry up!"
"I bet a steamed bun, broken love!"
"I bet a bun, I didn't take the exam!"
"A pile of sugar, broken love!"
"Two Oreos, they didn't pass the exam."
"Then our three grimaces must be grimace, it must be a broken relationship. Haven't you seen the undercurrent between Yanxi and Rousi looming?"
Pork, wearing high heels, sneered by: "My old mother, four cool old popsicles, sit in the village, take all!"
"A bunch of people who lack the heart and eyes, don't know how to say that the fairy birthday is today. Someone didn't give gifts..." When a certain shredded meat hated iron for not making steel, and said "someone", the phoenix eyes slightly glanced towards Ah. Balance.
"Oh." Everyone is doing things like birds and beasts, and other people's housework is not an anthropomorphic history, but a fart!
"A Heng, are you really not prepared?" A black cloud appeared above Yanxi's head.
"Oh, sorry, I accidentally forgot." A Heng replied softly.
Sindayi snickered.
"Laughing Mao!" Yan Xi was angry.
Sindayi was not anxious: "Hey! You are so promising, why don't you yell at Aheng? I even gave you a game console. After saving for two months, the pocket money is gone!"
Yan Xi Liangliang took her mouth: "You pay attention to the correct use of Chinese. It's obviously that you broke Laozi's game console. This is a'compensation', not a'send', you know?"
"Stingy." Xin Dayi suddenly remembered something, and said, "Lu Liu's mother put up a table in Shangri-La today and said that she would like to celebrate your birthday and ask you to go early."
Immediately, Yan Xi pulled her face: "Don't go, A Heng made lunch."
A Heng said slowly: "The rice at home is gone, I didn't make it today..."
Si Wan had just received the transcript and walked over and smiled: "Let's go, Yanxi, Aunt Lin has been preparing for a few days."
Aheng glanced at Yanxi lightly, and walked forward with Si Wan.
Yan Ximo reluctantly moved his steps.
In Shangri-La, the pomp did not lose the last banquet, or even worse. Lin Ruomei is still wearing a white cheongsam, bright red with silver plum blossoms, and white sea pearl earrings, gentle and noble.
"Birthday star is here." She smiled and got up and greeted Yanxi.
As soon as A Heng lifted her left foot, Yanxi stood in front of her and smiled lightly: "Aunt Lin, I trouble you today."
Si Wan and Sindayi were a little surprised.
Lin Ruomei looked at Yanxi, and Yu Guang happened to take a glance at A Heng: "Today you are celebrating your birthday. Uncle Yan went to the United States. Auntie was afraid that your two children could not cook well at home, so let the chef here do it. Some of your favorites."
Two? Yanxi glanced at Si Wan, and Si Wan compared her mouth: My mother said it.
Sindayi looked around, but didn't smile, "Oh, Aunt Lin, you brought your bodyguard with you for dinner."
Lin Ruomei stunned and waved, and the leading secretary walked out with a group of sturdy men in black clothes and sunglasses. The gentle-looking secretary I met last time seemed to be surnamed Chen, and gave Yanxi a deep look when he left.
A Heng looked down subconsciously, Yan Xi's left and right feet were in such an overlapping posture.
When everyone was seated and the waiter was free to arrange dishes, Lin Ruomei smiled and said to Si Wan: "Looking around, watching around, A Heng is really a beauty, but his looks concentrate the best of your parents."
Si smiled at his sister and laughed: "Yes, grandpa, mom and dad are all treasures of her."
A Heng smiled: "Where is it, Aunt Lin, you are polite."
On the cake, Si Wan and Dayi lighted candles, and Yanxi made a wish.
Lin Ruomei smiled softly and secretly: "Baby, tell auntie what you wished."
Yanxi grabbed the cream and smashed it on Lin Ruomei's face, smiling freely: "I, I make a wish, let me live a few more years before I go crazy. Aunt Lin, do you think this wish is good?"
Si Wan and Xin Dayi were dumbfounded, looking at the elegant and graceful Lin Ruomei with a creamy face at a loss, funny.
"My dear, this wish is not good." Lin Ruomei smiled without anger, wiped off the cream gently, with gentle eyebrows, "You have been a crazy boy since you were a child."
Baby, your behavior is like a childish doll, a clumsy prank.
Seeing that Lin Ruomei was not upset, Si Wan kept wanting to suppress some things that made him afraid, trying to cover up the mistakes, so he grabbed the cream and started smashing everyone.
Sindayi was a heartless lover, and soon the whole box was turned upside down, and the cream was everywhere.
Yanxi is the birthday star, and the cake is three-layered, so she almost became a snowman in the end, with a lot of cream on her hair, face and even her eyelashes.
A Heng laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright, but Yanxi wiped something sticky and sweet on his face.
The box door opened, and Secretary Chen walked in with a black camera.
"Xiao Chen, look at what these children are like, take a picture of them and keep a memorial." Lin Ruomei smiled, lit a female cool cigarette, and pointed at a group of people.
Xiao Chen was a little surprised, looked at Lin Ruomei, hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "Yes, Lin Dong."
"Ah, Yanxi, it looks like I haven't photographed with you for a long time, hasn't it?" Xindayi put Yanxi on the shoulder.
Si Wan frowned slightly: "I remember, Axi seems to have not taken pictures in two years, but always takes pictures for others."
Yan Xi smiled: "It's two years and seven months. How to shoot?"
He stood there, the melted cream dripping drop by drop, covering the face under the white, except for the faint outline, like a sculpture, his eyebrows were empty and pale.
"Sit down, okay?" He sat on the sofa, raised his head slightly, and smiled, "Is that okay?"
"Xiao Chen, your photography skills have always been good. Today, we must take pictures clearly. Don't just waste our Yanxi's good looks." Lin Ruomei spit out a smoke ring, her lips are plump and full of stars.
Xiao Chen's hand holding the camera was shaking.
"Give it to me." A Heng said lightly, standing opposite Xiao Chen.
"What?" The man was pretending to be calm, and she stood beside him, feeling the panic of his breath strongly.
"Camera, give it to me." She was neither smiling nor angry, neither warm nor cowardly.
Xiao Chen looked at Lin Ruomei, but Lin Ruomei smiled, indifferent gesture: "It's her."
Aheng took the camera, looked through the lens, and sighed softly.
That young man, frozen in it, with his left and right feet, would he feel more at ease when he stepped on it? It is very difficult, I would rather use the soul of the left foot to save the soul of the right foot, but can't easily believe others.
"Yanxi, look up."
The boy straightened his neck with some difficulty, but what he saw was not a shot of malicious mockery like a black hole.
The girl's thin lips smiled, her eyes filled with gentleness that calmly drifted into the distance, casually like Dimo ​​that had been submerged in clear water and melted away.
He was a little confused.
She looked into his eyes and smiled with the same color: "Yanxi, camera, camera, yes, look at the camera like this."
Yanxi also smiled for a moment, looking back into her eyes.
She blinked, and at the same time, clicked the shutter.
The camera is facing the nameplate of the three-layer cream cake on the table-Yanxi, happy birthday.
Later, when the photo was washed out, Aheng handed it to Yanxi: "Here, a late birthday present."
Yanxi, Yanxi who appears inexplicably, Yanxi who says strange things, Yanxi who will burst out when others bully her, Yanxi who will gently say "I know" to her...
Because I will continue to be happy, I didn’t want to say these four words at first, Yanxi...
happy Birthday.
Are you satisfied with this birthday gift?
He accidentally hid the incomplete cream cake for a lifetime because the lens was too close and the blurred font. Do you think he is satisfied?
