I have to go to school that day, so Zhuo Shao went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables after five o'clock.

He bought a duck, some pork belly, some chicken wings, and a few vegetarian dishes.

Originally, he wanted to buy a fish, but thinking that Liang Chen seemed to prefer meat, he didn't buy it.

If he buys too much food, it will take him several hours to cook at night, so how can he help Liang Chen celebrate his birthday?

On the way home, Zhuo Shao carried a large bag and a small bag, and bought three rice balls to take back for breakfast for the two children.

Rice balls are a traditional food in Fuyang County. The main ingredient is boiled glutinous rice, and fried dough sticks are wrapped inside.

The fritters in the rice balls are not ordinary fritters, but the fritters that are usually eaten after being cut into pieces and then put into a frying pan to continue frying until the whole crispy fritters, which are called old fritters by locals.

For sweet rice balls, there will be a piece of old fried dough sticks inside, and two spoonfuls of white sugar with sesame seeds. After wrapping the whole thing, the old lady who sells rice balls will dip it in the white sugar and give it to the customer, so that the first bite can be eaten. , is sweet.

For salty rice balls, there is also a piece of old fried dough sticks in it, but the sugar will be replaced with pickles, and a few peanuts will be added for you.

Of course, there are some people who will ask for both sweet and salty ones, which is also delicious. In a few years, there will be more things that can be put in the rice balls. Zhuo Shao later returned to Fuyang County once. When bought rice balls, saw all kinds of stuffing, including pork floss egg skin soaked cowpea Laoganma... The store dares to put anything.

There are two kinds of rice balls: fifty cents and one yuan. There is no difference, that is, the one yuan is twice as big as the fifty cents, and the fillings inside are correspondingly doubled.

Zhuo Shao bought two salty rice balls for one yuan and a sweet rice ball for fifty cents.

The salty rice balls were eaten by him and Liang Chen, and the sweet rice balls were for Zhuo Ting... Zhuo Shao carried the rice balls into the community, and then saw Liang Chen rushing out of the corridor.

"Zhuo Shao!" When Liang Chen saw Zhuo Shao, his eyes suddenly lit up.

After he got up today, he didn't see Zhuo Shao, so he was a little flustered, and when he found out that Zhuo Shao was not in the room, he was even more afraid.

Does Zhuo Shao... want to leave?

He ran downstairs without thinking, and was relieved until he saw Zhuo Shao coming back with something.

Zhuo Shao was in a good mood at first, but seeing Liang Chen like this, his heart sank again.

The more Liang Chen attached importance to him, the more uneasy he became.

If Liang Chen is cheerful and generous, he can tell him that he already has someone he likes, and then keep a distance from him, but Liang Chen...

It's fine for Liang Chen to be meticulous. He may not realize that he likes him at all. Under such circumstances, how could he dare to say such a thing?

If he realizes that his feelings for him are like and love, this child will probably suffer more than it is now.

"Did you come down for a run?" Zhuo Shao looked away, only pretending he didn't see the emotion in Liang Chen's eyes.

"Ah? Yes." Liang Chen said.

"Then run, I'll go up first." Zhuo Shao said.

Liang Chen nodded and planned to go for a run, but after a few steps, he couldn't help catching up with Zhuo Shao: "Zhuo Shao, why did you buy so many vegetables today?"

Liang Chen knew that today was his birthday, and he wanted to tell Zhuo Shao a few days earlier.

But Zhuo Shao has been very cold to him these days, but he doesn't know how to speak at all.

He thought that he might not have a birthday, but he didn't expect to see Zhuo Shao buying so many vegetables.

In the end, he still asked with expectations.

Zhuo Shao sighed secretly, and finally said, "Today is your birthday, and it's your birthday."

Liang Chen got such an answer, the depression caused by Zhuo Shao's indifference to him in the past few days dissipated, and the whole person seemed to be refreshed as if he had drank ice water in summer, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop grinning back, his eyes widened. It is even more firmly locked on Zhuo Shao: "Zhuo Shao, you are so kind!"

Zhuo Shao can guess what he looks like now, this child is always so easy to satisfy... But he didn't go to see him: "Having lived in your house for so long, I will always repay you.

Zhuo Shao's words made Liang Chen a little depressed, but Zhuo Shao quickly dispelled the depression because he wanted to give him the joy that his birthday brought him.

Liang Chen wanted to run to lose weight, but today, he didn't want to run, he just wanted to follow Zhuo Shao.

Zhuo Shao is willing to celebrate his birthday, so he should not hate him.

Liang Chen was in a good mood, even if Zhuo Shao bought him salty rice balls, he felt it was sweet in his mouth.

Today's Zhuo Shao is still a little cold.

But even so, Zhuo Shao went to school with him, cooked for him, and sat next to him...

During class, Liang Chen couldn't help but peek at Zhuo Shao.

Zhuo Shao was in class very seriously, and that profile face looked perfect.

Liang Chen suddenly thought of the scene where Zhuo Shao kissed him in a dream that day.

One of his heart couldn't help jumping up quickly... Covering his heart, Liang Chen felt that something was wrong.

Liang Chen was a little flustered, but today, he didn't want to feel uneasy all the time.

Zhuo Shao accidentally caught a glimpse of his blushing face, but he couldn't help frowning.

The fourth class in the afternoon was a self-study class. Some of the students in the class were doing their homework, some were chatting in a low voice, and some were secretly reading magazines.

At that time, there were still very few novels, but there were quite a few magazines, and they were quite popular.

"Liang Chen, how do I do this question?" The girl sitting in front of Liang Chen turned her head and asked Liang Chen with a book.

Zhuo Shao doesn't participate in almost any activities in the school these days, but even so, he has recognized all the classmates in the class, and has an impression of this girl.

This girl is a very hardworking person, but her brain is often unable to turn around... Her Chinese and English are very good, but math... even if it is a topic that the teacher has taught many times, she still can't.

Many students don't know how to do it, but she doesn't, but she keeps asking people, and she has asked Zhuo Shao before.

Zhuo Shao would refuse every time. He didn't understand it himself, so naturally he wouldn't tell others. Then the girl went to ask others... And in the past two months, she basically asked Liang Chen.

Liang Chen has a good temper, even if he stammered, even if it was troublesome to give her a topic over and over again, he would still talk about it. This time, when she came to ask, Liang Chen started talking again.

"I'll change positions with you." Zhuo Shao said to the girl, "This way, it will be easier for you to ask questions." From now on, Liang Chen can teach a few more friends.

After Zhuo Shao finished speaking, he stood up. The woman prepared a bunch of questions to ask, and also stood up happily, planning to go around and sit in Zhuo Shao's seat.

But Liang Chen, his whole person has froze.

Zhuo Shaoke wants to change seats with the girl... The girl often asks him questions. Zhuo Shaoke has never said that he wants to change seats before.

After Zhuo Shao left, Liang Chen subconsciously sat in Zhuo Shao's seat, and then let the girl sit in his seat.

The girl didn't feel anything wrong, she just sat down on Liang Chen's seat and asked, "How do I draw this auxiliary line?"

Zhuo Shao's body temperature seemed to remain in Zhuo Shao's position, but Liang Chen's heart cooled down.

He suddenly didn't want to give the girl a topic.

Liang Chen sat on Zhuo Shao's seat, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. Fortunately, school was over soon.

The girl wanted to ask again. Liang Chen, who was not good at rejecting people, said this time without thinking, "I'm going home."

What if he didn't pack up quickly and Zhuo Shao didn't wait for him to go home alone? Some time ago, Liang Chen thought that Zhuo Shao would not leave him, but now he is not sure.

The girl didn't ask anymore, Liang Chen sat back in his seat to pack up.

He wanted to ask Zhuo Shao why he wanted to change positions, but he didn't ask.

On the way home from school, Liang Chen was not very happy until Zhuo Shao took him into the cake shop and bought a cake.

It was a very ordinary cake, because Zhuo Shao was worried that he couldn't finish it. The one he bought was very small, and there were not many decorations on it. He simply wrote "Happy birthday to Liang Chen".

But Liang Chen is such a cake, which makes Liang Chen unable to restrain himself from being happy.

This is the first time someone has bought him a birthday cake when he is so big!

The classmates in the class have birthday cakes to eat. Some parents even take the cakes to the school and give some to the children in the school, but he has never eaten birthday cakes since he was a child.

Grandma never gave him a birthday, let alone his father, and of course other people can't count on it...

Liang Chen's previous worries and fears disappeared because of this cake.

Even when he came home, he couldn't help but want to jump up.

And the happiness continued.

After returning home, Zhuo Shao started cooking. Although Zhuo Ting robbed him of washing vegetables, he could not talk with Zhuo Shao in the kitchen, but he could watch Zhuo Shao in the restaurant.

Zhuo Shao cooks a lot today because today is his birthday.

Zhuo Shao still thinks about him. He must have thought too much about the previous things.

Liang Chen watched the dishes being brought to the table, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Zhuo Shao felt even more embarrassed when he saw him like this.

He has already tried his best to be cold to Liang Chen, but Liang Chen... As long as he treats Liang Chen a little bit better, Liang Chen will not care about his coldness before.

Continue like this……

He really has no love for Liang Chen at all.

For the duck, Zhuo Shao made beer duck, pork belly made braised pork, and as for chicken wings, he made salt and pepper chicken wings, in addition, he also fried four vegetarian dishes.

After he moved to Liang Chen, it was the first time that he cooked so many dishes.

"Brother! Brother! It's great!" Zhuo Ting couldn't be happy, and Liang Chen's eyes also seemed to have stars twinkling.

Zhuo Shao regretted looking at Liang Chen like this.

From the very beginning, he should keep a distance from Liang Chen.

If he hadn't approached Liang Chen, he wouldn't have to hurt Liang Chen. If Liang Chen is so good, he can definitely find someone who likes him wholeheartedly.

But at that time, he really didn't expect that this child would actually like him, but he had thought that this child and Zhuo Ting grew up as childhood sweethearts, and maybe they would be with Zhuo Ting in the future.

"Brother, are you ready to eat?" Zhuo Ting asked again.

"Eat." Zhuo Shao said.

Longevity noodles are not popular here in Fuyang County, so Zhuo Shao still cooks rice today.

"You eat less and eat cake with your stomach." Zhuo Shao instructed, but even if he said so, the two children still ate a lot.

Liang Chen looked at him while eating, and the smile on his face never fell.

Zhuo Shao's heart became more and more uncomfortable.

At this moment, Liang Chen was going crazy with joy.

He ate a lot of dinner, but he thought he could eat the whole cake!

This is the cake that Zhuo Shao bought for him!

Liang Chen put down the tableware and his eyes fell on the cake.

Zhuo Shao took out the cake, lit fifteen candles on it, and sang "Happy Birthday".

Liang Chen couldn't help but sang "Happy Birthday to You". At this time, Zhuo Shao's indifference to him these days had long since been forgotten by him, and all he had left in his heart was the cake in front of him and the fifteen pieces. Pretty little candle.

It was the most beautiful candle he had ever seen in his life.

After the birthday song was over, Liang Chen didn't know what to do: "Then what? Then?"

"You make a wish and blow out the candle." Zhuo Shao said. This kid looks so happy... Some things, I'd better wait for him to have a birthday before giving him.

Zhuo Shao thought about it very well, but he didn't expect the next second, Liang Chen said: "I want to be with Zhuo Shao for the rest of my life!"

Zhuo Shao froze, and then he saw Liang Chen blowing out all the candles in one breath.

After Liang Chen blew out the candle, he immediately looked at Zhuo Shao, and then saw Zhuo Shao's abnormal face.

Liang Chen suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Did he... say something wrong?

Thinking of this, Liang Chen suddenly thought, he seemed to have said just now... Want to be with Zhuo Shao for the rest of his life?

Is it not good for him to say that?

He might have been really dizzy just now... He didn't know himself, how could he suddenly say that.

But he really wants to be with Zhuo Shao for the rest of his life.

Liang Chen's two hands clasped together, and then he heard Zhuo Shao say, "How can we be together forever? When we get married and have children, we will focus on the family."

"Even if they are the best brothers, they will be separated when they get married."

"Look, Zhuo Ting is my sister, and she will leave me sooner or later."

...

Zhuo Shao said several words in a row.

Liang Chen knew that he was telling the truth, but he didn't know why, he just felt very sad and uncomfortable.

Zhuo Shao...will he get married and have children in the future?

He didn't even want Zhuo Shao to get married and have children.

Liang Chen was a little dumbfounded, but Zhuo Shao felt that some things really couldn't be delayed any longer.

"I prepared a present for you, go get it for you." Zhuo Shao said to Liang Chen, and soon took out a schoolbag from his room.

This schoolbag was bought by Zhuo Shao a long time ago as a birthday present for Liang Chen.

It's just that something happened this week, and he added something to this gift.

Liang Chen didn't know why he felt uncomfortable because Zhuo Shao said that he would get married in the future. He only knew that after Zhuo Shao said such words, even if he saw the birthday present that Zhuo Shao gave him, he couldn't laugh.

However, he still smiled at Zhuo Shao, and then took the schoolbag.

The bag is a little heavy, and there seems to be a book inside...

"Liang Chen, thank you for the money you lent me before. If it wasn't for that money, I wouldn't be able to receive that project from Zhou Zhengqiang." Zhuo Shao smiled.

"No thanks, and I gave it to you, not borrowed it." Liang Chen said without thinking.

"How can I take your money for nothing?" Zhuo Shao said with a smile: "The money and your household registration book are all in this bag, don't lose it when you keep it."

Zhuo Shao put 40,000 yuan in his schoolbag.

Zhou Zhengqiang hasn't given him the money for the follow-up soft decoration. He spent some money for Liang Fang to buy decoration materials. For the time being, he can take out so much.

He originally wanted to use this money to open a decoration company, but now, he gave it all to Liang Chen.

Liang Chen opened the schoolbag and found that it contained money in a plastic bag. In addition, his household registration book was also in it.

He was sad before because he didn't have money to give Zhuo Shao, but now...

That wasn't what saddened him the most. What saddened him the most was that Zhuo Shao didn't want his money at all.

"Why..." Liang Chen's expression was dull, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Tomorrow, I will take a leave of absence from the teacher, and I will go to the provincial capital. This time I will stay in the provincial capital for about four days." Zhuo Shao smiled at Liang Chen: "You are the only one at home these four days. Take good care of yourself."

"Am I at home alone?" Liang Chen's expression became even more sullen.

"Tingting is only in the third grade, and the study task is not heavy, so I took her with me." Zhuo Shao said again.

Liang Chen grabbed the schoolbag in his hand, not knowing what to say.

Before Zhuo Shao went to the provincial capital, he either took him and Zhuo Ting, or left them all. Now, Zhuo Shao wants to take Zhuo Ting alone?

Will he move out with Zhuo Ting in the future?

Liang Chen felt that Zhuo Shao was getting further and further away from him, but he couldn't catch Zhuo Shao.

It was Zhuo Shao who suddenly talked to him, and the two of them communicated. Now that Zhuo Shao is leaving, what can he do?

"Forty thousand is too much..." Liang Chen thought about it, and in the end he could only murmur, the money he gave Zhuo Shao added up to less than 40,000, not to mention that Zhuo Shao bought a lot for their family furniture too.

"I thank you very much. I should have given a little more, but I don't have that much money on me." Zhuo Shao said in a relaxed tone.

But no matter how relaxed his tone was, Liang Chen still felt something was wrong, and he couldn't use this relaxed tone to make Liang Chen feel at ease.

This child is very introverted, and introverts are mostly sensitive...

I just hope he understands what he means.

Zhuo Shao didn't plan to make a clean break with Liang Chen. After all, in that case, the child might have an accident.

Even if the grades drop, if something else happens...

Moreover, he remembered that next month, Liang Chen would be kidnapped.

At the beginning of his rebirth, he had already made up his mind to protect Liang Chen and prevent him from suffering like that again. Now he can't ignore Liang Chen just because Liang Chen likes him.

"Don't worry, four days will soon pass, next Wednesday, I will be back." Zhuo Shao said again.

"Come back next Wednesday?" Liang Chen looked at Zhuo Shao expectantly. When Zhuo Shao said he was leaving, he was stunned. Now that Zhuo Shao said he would come back, his heart finally settled down. .

"Yes, come back next Wednesday." Zhuo Shao said.

Liang Chen was holding the schoolbag, his face pale: "You must come back."

"I still have to go to school, of course I'll be back." Zhuo Shao smiled, and at the same time he sighed secretly. At the same time, he made up his mind. After returning, he would look for a place to live in this community.

Although Zhuo Shao said he would come back, Liang Chen knew that they were not the same anymore.

Before, there were many connections between him and Zhuo Shao, and Zhuo Shao regarded him as a family member, but now, the connection between him and Zhuo Shao has all been broken.

He gave Zhuo Shao something, provided Zhuo Shao with accommodation, gave Zhuo Shao money, and wanted to let Zhuo Shao be with him, but Zhuo Shao cut off one of them and separated from him.

Liang Chen didn't eat a single bite of the cake. He hugged it and entered the room in a daze, then lay on the bed and didn't want to move at all.

If Zhuo Shao takes Zhuo Ting away, what will he do?

No one will care about him anymore, will take care of him, no one will cook for him again...

Why is this happening?

Is there something wrong with him?

Or... Zhuo Shao has that pen pal, so he doesn't want his friend anymore?

Liang Chen hated Zhuo Shao's friend even more.

Suddenly realizing this, Liang Chen suddenly felt a little scary.

Could it be that Zhuo Shao didn't want to be with him because he found out that he was actually terrible?

If Zhuo Shao really wants to leave, what should he do?

Liang Chen was very uneasy, he couldn't sleep at all, and he couldn't help opening the bedroom door after a while, and then went to see if Zhuo Shao's shoes were still at the door.

After going back and forth several times, before noticing it arrived in the second half of the night, Liang Chen lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

When Liang Chen woke up again, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. He ran out the door and found that Zhuo Shao's shoes were no longer at the door.
