One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, Malan blossoms 32 "The school wants to hold a competition?"

"No." He said, "Where can our school do these things? When I went to the office, I heard the teacher chatting about this competition. It seemed that he would borrow our gymnasium as a venue, and then said that Zhao Lijie also participated."

Miao Jing said oh, nodded, and continued to listen, not interrupting.

Dongzhi looked down at the book, and Wen Cen painted on the paper, as if he didn't hear it, and he was very focused.

...

In the afternoon, the sun cleared away the clouds and went out to dry the sun during the break, and there were a lot of people in the corridor.

Dongzhi doesn't like to walk around and doesn't leave his seat. The deskmate next to him goes to ask others for questions, and is empty. Wen Cen is also surrounded by Miao Jing in the corridor, a member of the sun-bathing army.

He poked her back with his pen cap.

Dongzhi looked back and said, "Hmm?"

Wen Cen lay on the table and asked, "Don't you do it too, that. Will you participate in the competition?"

After a moment of pause, I realized that what he was talking about was gossiping by other people.

"No." Dongzhi said, "I haven't started class for a long time, and I've had my hands."

"Try it even if you want to have a handmade life, what are you afraid of?"

She was silent for a moment and said, "My piano is small and not very good at it. If I haven't changed it to a new one, I guess it won't be able to pull it well."

Wen Cen wanted to say something, she sat upright, her back no longer pressed against the front of his desk, and continued reading on her own desk.

...

On Friday night, Chen arrived home later than usual. He usually went home on time unless something happened temporarily.

Xiao Jingran kept waiting, and asked the kitchen to prepare hot soup as usual, simmering it on the stove. He had just seen it coming out of the kitchen once, and heard the movement, and knew that he was back, he immediately went out.

"Why are you home now?" She walked towards the door with her slippers.

Chen was holding a big bag in his hand and was in the entrance slippers.

She glanced at her and asked casually: "What's the matter with, that big?"

Chen looked up at her and said, "My friend and I were walking outside for a while." After changing our shoes in a few seconds, we stepped upstairs, "I'll go back to the room to change my clothes first."

"Hey—" Before Xiao Jingran could speak, he ran quickly and went upstairs in a flash. She sighed helplessly, "What are you doing when you run so urgently?"

Chen changed his clothes and went downstairs, with empty hands.

Xiao Jingran asked someone to serve the soup to the restaurant table, and Chen pulled out the chair and sat down. Xiao Jingran watched him drink.

Chen scooped a sip of the soup and drank it at her, "It's delicious."

"It's good to drink." Xiao Jingran smiled, "Mom asked someone to stew it for you every day."

Chen said, "Mom, if I come back late, don't wait for me, don't stay up late with me. I'm not a child."

"I know, I know. You drink yours." Xiao Jingran felt very upset in her heart, no matter how she saw him, she was good.

Thinking of the big bag he had just brought home, Xiao Jingran opened her mouth and was about to ask, but stopped by himself.

He ran fast with his stuff, didn’t he just want her to know?

The envelopes saved money in the drawer, her birthday circled on the calendar, and the mysterious tonight... Thinking about it, it already outlined the general appearance of the matter. Xiao Jingran pressed down the smile on her lips and gently patted Chen Zhi's shoulder, "Mom goes to the kitchen and asks you to cook something for you."

"Mom, no need." Chen hurriedly looked up.

She didn't stop Xiao Jingran, but she walked into the kitchen with her slippers, and couldn't stop her.

After drinking the soup, Chen ate another bowl of wontons, which happened to be a little more reading, which could be digested.

When he saw his eyes sore, his stomach almost calmed down, so Chen got up and went to wash.

After washing up, I went to bed and received a message from Zhao Lijie before going to bed.

"Do you go to the library together on your holiday?" she asked.

Chen turned off the room lights, and the screen light shone on his face. The back seat smiled like a thief in his mind. Chen frowned and replied, "No, I don't have time."

She asked again: "Do you have anything else to do? What are you going to do?"

Chen thought for a while and said, "My mother is about to celebrate her birthday. I want to buy her birthday gifts, but I haven't picked it yet."

She said, "That's it."

He replied with the word "yes", and she didn't say anything else.

Sleep overnight.

The next day I arrived at school. During the break after the second class in the morning, Zhao Lijie appeared at the door of the class.

"Chen Ju." She called him, with his back light, unable to see his expression clearly.

Chen got up and went to the door. Zhao Lijie asked him to go to the corner to speak.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Zhao Lijie smiled silently for a while and said, "Has I done something to make you unhappy?"

"No."

"Then why are you hiding from me?"

Chen paused and said, "I didn't hide from you."

Zhao Lijie didn't speak, staring at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"I'm not hiding from me?" she whispered, as if she asked and answered herself. "If I have something wrong, tell me, you must tell me."

She is cheerful and rarely does this.

There is actually a thing to say to avoid her. She was too sensitive and refused twice, and suddenly noticed it. Chen didn't know what to say, so he dodged slightly and moved his lips: "It's really not."

Zhao Lijie took out a piece of paper from her pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to him, with several shop names written on it.

"You said you want to help your mother pick birthday gifts. These are several stores I know. I went to when I bought birthday gifts for my mother in the past, and there are some stores that my mother often visited. I checked out their official website last night. Now many of them are just launching new products. If you go and check it out, you should be able to pick the right gifts."

Chen didn't answer, his eyes fell under her socket, and there was a faint dark circle, "Did you stay up late last night?"

Zhao Lijie didn't say anything, she didn't say anything, nor did she say anything, but she didn't say anything.

Chen took the piece of paper, sighed silently, and said, "Thank you."

She whispered in a low voice: "I may be really annoyed sometimes. If you find it inconvenient, I will look for you less in the future. Don't make things difficult for you."

The things in your hand are light and blown by the wind, and the paper has the unique sound of paper.

"If..." Chen said after a while, "If you don't have to go home too early, I can accompany you to the library after picking up gifts on the afternoon of the holiday."

Surprise and slight joy flashed across Zhao Lijie's face, "Really?" she said, "Then, I'll pick a gift for my aunt with you! I chatted with my aunt at your house last time and felt that she was really good."

Chen hesitated.

"I prepare gifts for my mother every year, and my aesthetic taste is OK," she said.

Chen thought for a while and finally said, "It's OK. Then call me when the time comes."

...

The weather was good on Xiao Jingran’s birthday.

Dongzhi doesn't remember these days, but Dong Qin's wife went to Chen's house early in the morning. She came back after half a day of class and rested in the afternoon, and the house was empty.

The Chen family was busy ahead, and a bunch of people were still busy.

The cleaning started in the morning, and at noon, Chen Ju's parents both had dinner at home. Now after noon, Chen Ju's father went out to meet his friends and was preparing to entertain guests in the hotel in the evening. Chen Ju's mother had afternoon tea with a bunch of friends at home. She guessed that the time was about to leave.

Dongzhi was reading a book in the room. Before the sky was dark, he could see clearly the little light coming through the window.

The cell phone placed in the corner of the table vibrates.

Pick it up and saw Miao Jing sent a message: "Go to watch a movie together tonight?"

Dong Zhiqian said: "Why did you suddenly want to go to the movie?"

Miao Jing: "I have a new movie, I want to watch it. Today, my relatives come to my house. I guess I can't go out before 4 pm. Staying at home is so boring. Let's come out in the evening? I'll invite you to watch a movie, so you should be with me!"

Dongzhi thought about it and agreed: "Okay. What time?"

"Look at it after seven o'clock. After watching it, I got home almost eleven o'clock. Is that OK?"

"OK."

Miao Jing said again: "I'll ask Wen Cen if he comes, and ask him to join him."

Not long after, she said it, "Wen Cen is here too. Now there are boys with you, so you are not afraid of walking at night. I'm just going to make it. I'll buy three tickets."

Dongzhi said yes.

I continued reading, and after turning a few pages, my phone rang again.

It was still a vibrating sound of receiving new messages.

Dongzhi thought it was Miao Jing, but when he picked it up, it was Chen Ju.
