Yueming has never celebrated a birthday with friends.

When he was in the third grade of elementary school, the classmates in the class celebrated his birthday. Although he was not invited to the birthday party, he had seen the scene where his classmates surrounded him and wished him a happy birthday from a distance.

Yueming doesn't envy his dazzling array of birthday gifts, but envy that there are so many children around him.

So on his birthday, he bought a bunch of snacks with pocket money that he had saved for half a year, and sent an invitation to every classmate in the class the week before, and made an appointment to come to his house to eat cake on that day.

He was full of anticipation, and arranged it all by himself for the afternoon.

However, no one came.

Yueming lit a candle for himself and made a wish.

As he blew out the candles, he thought that he would never have another birthday.

However

"Make a wish! Blow the candle and blow the candle!!!"

Yoyo, who couldn't wait to share the cake, urged, jumping on the spot, even more excited than the birthday.

Yue Ming blinked hard.

It seems that all this is a little unreal.

Cen Sui: "I haven't sang the birthday song yet!!"

It was only then that everyone remembered, and they started out of nowhere, and everyone sang a birthday song in a mess.

Gu Miaomiao: "...you sing faster, everyone knows you want to eat cake."

Yoyo covered her mouth and smiled embarrassedly.

Who, who asked mom to buy the cake when she came back from yoga class in the morning!

She can't wait to see from the morning to the afternoon that the cake is left there and no one eats... the cake will be very lonely too!

Thinking of this, Yoyo looked at Yueming who was staying in the same place, and asked regularly:

"Brother Yueming, are we reconciled? Would you like to share the cake for me?"

The little girl's eyes were too sincere and bright, and it would be difficult for anyone to say anything that would make her sad when stared at by such eyes.

Yueming, who was surrounded by the crowd, felt his ears get hot, and said in a very small voice:

"……I do not have……"

Yoyo got closer: "Huh?"

"...I didn't...I didn't hate you..."

Yue Ming, who was clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, revealed his thoughts in front of so many people for the first time.

Even when it was the saddest time, Yueming never hated it.

What he hates is that he is not brave enough, not confident enough, and unable to change himself.

"That's great—!" Yoyo jumped up and down, holding Yueming's hand with her little hand, "We're reconciled!"

The little girl's clear voice was like a carefree young bird.

Unlike adults, she doesn't seem to have that fearless restraint and apprehension at all.

She didn't even know what made Yue Ming unhappy, but she just felt that the other party seemed sad, so she asked for peace without hesitation, and didn't think it was shameful to take the initiative to apologize and ask for peace.

The ten-year-old Yueming couldn't help but envy her innocence in her heart.

"...let's get to the table for dinner."

Aunt Zhang, who came out of the kitchen with the dishes, cooked a large table of dishes. She watched Shen Jingchuan take the small crown that came with the cake and put it on Yueming. She was flattered and said:

"Really, it's too much trouble for everyone, and I have prepared so much, I really..."

Seeing that Aunt Zhang was about to begin to despise herself again inappropriately, Gu Miaomiao interrupted quickly:

"Aunt Zhang sits here next to brother Yueming."

Aunt Zhang looked at the center of the table and waved her hand hurriedly:

"No, no, I can just sit on the side..."

Yoyo grabbed Aunt Zhang by the corner of her clothes and pulled her over indiscriminately.

She didn't understand the difference between the main servant and the servant, and she didn't know why Aunt Zhang usually ate alone in the nanny's room.

But at least today, she felt that Aunt Zhang should sit with brother Yueming.

In this way, he will be very happy.

After everyone was seated at the table, the children began to send their birthday gifts to Yueming one after another.

Before Yoyo took out his gift, Yueming was actually a little worried, worried that he had received an overly expensive gift, and there was no way to give the same gift back on Yoyo's birthday.

Although all that she did for him was precious enough.

"this is for you!"

Yoyo took out a small pot of mimosas from the paper bag.

"You can put it in the room, it looks good! It's very similar to my brother!"

The small storage room where Yueming lived was not well-lit, because it was only a short stay for one summer, so the layout of the room was very simple, it seemed too lifeless, and there was no breath of life.

He reached out and took the small pot of greenery.

With a light touch of your finger, the leaves of the mimosa suddenly folded together, magically alive.

"...Thank you." Yueming hugged him, afraid that a simple thank you would not be solemn enough, and added, "I like it very much, really."

He will put it next to the bunch of roses by the bed, water it on time every day, and he will not let it die.

Next is a gift from Gu Miaomiao.

She sent a set of stationery, which is quite satisfactory and practical.

The one sent by Shen Jingchuan was very suitable for Gu Miaomiao. He sent a thick stack of "Golden Scroll for Winning the Championship", "Crazy Practice of Small Questions" and "Xinghuo Reading".

He heard that Yueming had already started to study the first-year courses in advance. These are all the teaching materials he has selected for the first-year junior high school, and they are quite practical.

Yueming's mood was very complicated when he received the gift.

The gifts given by Cen Sui and Yong Ze are all in the same style, that is, they are inhuman, and they are all expensive anyway!

The limited edition Transformers sent by Cen Sui can still be seen as valuable in the shape of the wind, and the Hetian jade longevity lock sent by Yong Ze, who is not here today, is very low-key.

No one can see this big fingernail, dating back at least to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

There are also red envelopes from Yu Lan and Gu Qizhou, and there are so many gifts that add up to a pile.

For the first time, Yueming, who received so many gifts, looked even more stupid than Yoyo.

"Make a wish, make a wish!"

The Yoyo children who liked the wishing session the most were urging them.

Cen Sui, who was sitting opposite, asked curiously:

"What do you wish for?"

Yueming said very few words, and Cen Sui was very curious about what wishes he would like to achieve.

Yoyo raised her hand excitedly:

"Brother Yueming, promise me one! Yoyo want to go to the zoo! I want to see pandas and giraffes!!"

Cen Sui was shocked, can someone help make a wish?

"Then, then I want too! I want to go to see Spider-Man with my parents this year! I want to shake hands with Spider-Man!"

The two children looked serious, as if Yueming was a wish-making messenger who shouldered expectations. As long as he agreed, his wish would definitely come true.

Gu Miaomiao rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Instead of asking for help, it's easier to realize your wish by rolling on the ground in front of your parents.

However, Yue Ming was probably also infected by the stupidity of these two people. He nodded seriously and asked Gu Miaomiao and Shen Jingchuan:

"Do you have any wishes for me to help?"

... Gu Miaomiao felt that his expression was like that of a purchasing agent waiting to collect an order.

So she also placed an order casually: "I make a wish that my sister can be smarter in the future and not be tricked by other children in the community."

Shen Jingchuan followed closely: "I make a wish that my sister can learn addition and subtraction within ten this year and keep her third tutor."

YoYo:"……"

She's going to be in a mood!

She's going to be pissed!

Yueming, who received the wish, folded his hands together and closed his eyes reverently.

He hoped that the wishes of these children would come true.

He hopes that he can grow up quickly and shoulder the heavy burden on his mother's shoulders.

But he hoped very well that time could stop at this moment forever——

Yue Ming opened his eyes slightly, and saw Mian Mian, who put his chin by the window, through the gap.

——At this moment, with the friends in front of me, forever and ever.

After her birthday, Yoyo vaguely felt that Yueming's personality seemed to be gradually changing.

In the past, would only watch them play Yueming from a distance, but gradually would take the initiative to walk into them, and play a game with them, which was already very boring for fifth-grade children.

Occasionally, Aunt Zhang would urge him to go to school unhappily, but Yueming, who has always been obedient, would secretly go against his mother's wishes and sneak out to play in the mud with Yoyo in the yard.

The most surprising thing for Yoyo is that Yueming no longer rejects Mianmian's approach.

Even sometimes when Yoyo needs to practice the piano and doesn't have time to take Mianmian out for a walk, Yueming will help Yoyo to go out for a walk.

And this morning, Yoyo was also overtime by the piano teacher because she didn't play the tune well. The little girl lay on the piano keys with her mouth flat, and looked at Mianmian through the window dejectedly.

"I'll take Mianmian out." Yueming took his book, "It's right next to Swan Lake, you can come to me when you're done practicing."

Yueming led Mianmian out of the yard.

Mianmian is really not a difficult thing. Mianmian is very obedient and will not run rampant like a big dog. Most of the time, it is like a good little child who follows people, occasionally stops to eat grass, and will never run around. .

Yueming will also slow down when it is grazing and wait for it silently.

... When Mianmian grows up, he shouldn't turn into a bad man-eating monster, right?

Thinking of this, Yueming took out a small packet of ham sausage from his pocket and handed it to Mianmian. Mianmian only smelled it, then lowered his head with no interest at all, and continued to nibble on the grass.

Seeing that this person is dismissive of meat, it should not eat people.

Yueming was in a much better mood. While practicing English by the lake, he picked up a handful of weeds and a small daisy, and made a small wreath for Mianmian.

Children growing up in the countryside are quite good at these handicrafts, and the daisy garland passes through the long ears like a girl's small earrings.

"……How do you like it?"

Mianmian looked at her own reflection in the lake, smiled and baa softly, looking like she liked it.

Yueming stared at it for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice:

"sorry."

Mian Mian tilted his head.

"I... shouldn't have stoned you."

"You won't hurt you, I know."

"At that time, it wasn't actually to protect you, but I was too timid and I was afraid."

When no one was around, Yueming dared to reveal to Mianmian that he was ashamed to see others.

"I'm sorry...you're a good monster, you don't eat people, right?"

Mianmian stared at him for a while, slowly approached, and then tilted her head to rub the small head of the human cub.

It's a very warm temperature.

When Yoyo hurried over, all he saw was the scene of Yueming gently hugging Mianmian.

great!

Brother Yueming has finally become good friends with Mianmian!

Yoyo's footsteps are jumping, and can't wait to fly in front of them and play with them in the next second.

But before she walked in, she saw something on the side arcing in the air, hitting Mianmian's body neither light nor heavy.

"Ah! It's coming!"

The boys holding a handful of small stones laughed, as if they had discovered something interesting.

Then don't know who inside waved again, and threw a stone in the past again, hitting Mianmian's head heavily.

This time, Mianmian seemed to be hurt by being hit, and after bleating aggrieved, he quickly hid behind Chao Yueming.

"I just said that someone in our community really has a lamb as a pet."

"Hahaha this lamb is so stupid, I don't even know who is throwing it."

"I want to try, I want to try!"

"Ah, is the owner of that sheep going to be angry?"

"It doesn't matter, I have seen him. He is not the owner of the lamb, but the son of the servant of the owner of the lamb!"

"Hahahaha, isn't that the case, his mother is a servant for others, and he is a servant for other people's pets?"

Wave after wave of cruel laughter, Yo Yo was a little far away and could not hear clearly, she could only see that these people were bad boys who would throw stones at Mian Mian, Mian Mian was so painful, and they laughed so loudly.

Yoyo ran over with red eyes and hugged Mianmian tightly in her arms.

Indignant, she grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, but threw it out with no deterrent force, crying with a cry:

"Don't bully Mianmian! I will hit you!"

Most of these little boys looked like they were in third or fourth grade. They already remembered popular TV variety shows and played with mobile phones proficiently. They recognized who Yo Yo was at a glance.

"It's the one on TV!"

"I've seen her! So she lives in our community!"

In an instant, the little boys seemed to have discovered a new toy, and wanted to come over curiously to see this little sister who appeared on TV before.

However, just when they wanted to push away Yueming, who was in the way, and wanted to surround Yoyo and take a closer look at her—

boom!

The little boy with the beautiful and well-behaved appearance of an angel threw his fist fiercely and decisively.

Without a word, the child who was walking in the front was thrown to the ground.

"... Hit, hit someone!!!"

"...You dare to hit my brother! I, I fought with you——!!!"

Yoyo hugged Mianmian and stared blankly at the group of little boys who were scrambling together.

Yoyo is stupid, but at such a time, he is also very good at judging the situation.

When Yueming had the upper hand, she cheered on the side, but when she saw these little boys beat Yueming to the ground with an advantage in numbers, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Help! My brother is being bullied!! Sister come quickly woo woo woo!!!"

Next to the Swan Lake, an earth-shattering cry soon broke out.:,,,
