Chapter 28

Before Cheng Yin's eighteenth birthday, a continuous autumn rain disturbed the people.

Moreover, the rain has a tendency to be heavier and heavier. By Tuesday, it has reached the level of closing the door.

After class, everyone was confined in the classroom, and few people went out to walk around.

Cheng Yin brought a red rope from home to school, tied the two ends together, and played with Xie Ying.

There are only a few styles for the two to meet, and after flipping it over and over several times, Nie Nan next to him has seen it.

"Why are you two playing this? What's the point?"

"Don't worry about it." It was almost time for class, Xie Ying turned back to look for the book with an expression of "I'm happy, you know shit", "What else do you know besides playing basketball."

The rope fell into Cheng Yin's hands, she tilted her head and looked at the rain outside the window, sighing repeatedly.

Zhang Yuehai didn't give any lectures, but talked about the latest current affairs news on the podium, which he predicted would be the subject of the college entrance examination next year.

Cheng Yin didn't listen much, so he looked back at the podium.

She sat upright, but quietly stretched the rope around her hands, leaned over and bumped Chen Ran with her shoulder.

Chen Ran glanced at her and ignored her.

Cheng Yin bumped him lightly again, but on the surface he looked straight ahead, looking extremely serious.

Chen Ran whispered: "I won't."

"You watched for so long today, I don't believe you won't."

Chen Ran choked.

Cheng Yin actually knew he was watching.

But he wasn't looking at the rope.

He was looking at Cheng Yin's fingers.

Although Cheng Yin is not tall, his limbs are slender, and his fingers are no exception.

The pampered girl always has extremely delicate fingers, even her nails are round and shiny. When holding the rope, her index finger dances nimbly, and her fingernails gleam in the sunlight.

Others say that the hand is the second face of a woman, but Cheng Yin's second face is not inferior at all.

"No." Chen Ran turned his face away and covered Cheng Yin's hand with the book, "Don't come, I don't do these naughty things."

The rain didn't stop until after school in the evening.

Everyone thought it was going to clear up, but it was up again the next morning.

The forecast is for heavy rain across the southeast, which could continue into next week.

Cheng Yin and Xie Ying turned over the flower rope more and more frequently after class, and almost as soon as Chen Ran opened his eyes, he saw two little girls flipping their fingers in front of him.

Cheng Yin was right, he had to watch it.

But he would never do such a thing with her.

This is the principle and dignity of a man.

Then for the entire physics class, Cheng Yin played with the flower rope beside him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he would occasionally catch glimpses of those hands that were as white as onion.

Chen Ran simply turned his body sideways, propped his head up, and stared at her fingers openly.

"What's so funny about this thing?"

"Sigh." Cheng Yin is already very skilled, she can turn over the flower rope while listening to the teacher's lecture, "Have you never heard of it? The sound of turning flowers will change the sky, sunny days will become rainy days, and rainy days will become sunny days."

Chen Ran: "..."

He all sighed for the physics teacher on the podium.

Cheng Yin poked Chen Ran's arm again, then put the flower rope on his finger, and motioned him to play with her with his eyes.

Chen Ran turned his face away indifferently.

Cheng Yin suddenly lost his energy, and hung his head like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"When will the rain stop?"

"It will always stop when it's time to stop." Chen Ran seemed to understand why she did this, turned her head and asked, "Don't you want a rainy day on your birthday?"

"No." Cheng Yin whispered, "My parents are from the Forestry Bureau. They were in the mountains recently, and the rain was very dangerous. In case of landslides and mudslides, what would they do..."

Chen Ran's eyes loosened.

Cheng Yin held her face and looked at the rain outside the window, "And I can't do anything."

A hand reached out and took the rope from her hand.

"Just play with you once."

Cheng Yin immediately smiled.

Chen Ran really saw it, he didn't need Cheng Yin to teach.

When Cheng Yin flipped the rope, his little finger accidentally touched Chen Ran's hand.

She glanced at Chen Ran quietly, and saw that his expression had not changed, so she thought carefully, and pretended to touch his palm inadvertently.

Dry and warm, with a thin layer of cocoon.

He still didn't seem to notice.

Cheng Yin wiped his little finger lightly again, bowed his head and pursed his lips and smiled.

Chen Ran said that he only played with her once, but in fact he was pestered by her many times.

The rain finally stopped at noon on Friday.

But Cheng Yin was not happy.

After school in the afternoon, she was going to take her classmates to a dinner party, but Chen Ran decided not to go.

After returning from lunch, Cheng Yin lost his face all the way.

"Oh, I have a question for you."

Xie Ying hid the gift in a panic, and then pretended to say casually, "You ask."

"I saw it all, don't hide it." Cheng Yin sat on the seat, not thinking about the gift, and glanced at Chen Ran's empty seat, "You said, if a boy is interested in you, will he give it to you? birthday."

Xie Ying knew it well, but she still pretended not to know: "I'm not sure, what if something happens to the family?"

"What can I do if I wander around every day?"

This sentence is that Cheng Yin is complaining, Xie Ying sees that she is not happy, and wants to say something, Nie Nan suddenly came over from behind and called her.

"Someone is looking at the door."

Cheng Yin looked over, Zhao Weilin was standing awkwardly outside the back door.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Yin walked over and asked.

"Well, I just wanted to tell you, did you prepare your own birthday cake today?"

Zhao Weilin said nervously.

"Birthday cake..."

Cheng Yin slapped his head, "Oh, I forgot to order if you didn't tell me!"

None of the people she invited said they wanted to prepare a cake for her, so when she went out today, she said to remind Cheng Sheng to order one for her, but she forgot when she was going to be late.

"It's fine if you don't order it! It's fine if you don't order it!" Zhao Weilin spoke quickly and said with a smile, "I'll prepare it for you, I don't know what gift to give you."

Cheng Yin nodded, and Zhao Weilin touched the back of his head and left.

Back in the classroom, Xie Ying continued the previous topic.

"I think there might be something wrong, but has he prepared a present for you?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yin felt even more uncomfortable.

Chen Ran didn't come to school today, let alone any gifts.

She shook her head.

Xie Ying didn't know how to patch, so she sat down and read a book in silence.

Cheng Yin was extremely aggrieved, not even coming for his birthday, not even a gift.

In the morning, I received a "Happy Birthday" from him, but there was nothing else.

She was lying on the table, not even in the mood to take a nap.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

She picked it up and it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey, is it Ms. Cheng Yin? I have your takeaway. Please come to the school gate to get it."

Cheng Yin was stunned, and was sure that she didn't buy anything, but it was okay for her lunch break anyway, so she ran to the school gate.

A delivery boy took out a box of birthday cakes from the fresh-keeping box.

After handing it over to Cheng Yin, the delivery boy hurried to the next house, leaving Cheng Yin alone.

The delivery guy was too busy to explain anything, and the delivery list only had Cheng Yin's name and phone number, so there was no way to know who delivered it.

Fifteen inches, Cheng Yin couldn't hold it with both hands.

She glanced through the clear plastic on the box, a beautiful cake with a delicate flamingo on top and a few chocolates in the shape of pink musical notes.

But the more this happened, the more cautious Cheng Yin became.

After all, it is something that is imported, and she dare not eat it casually. And the cake was so big that it would be too conspicuous to get it in the classroom, so she thought about it and put the cake in the security room.

The uncle of the security guard is a very good person and is willing to help Cheng Yin save it, but just reminded her that she must come to pick it up after school in the afternoon.

Cheng Yin said yes, turned around and went back to the classroom.

The last class in the afternoon was an English class. The teacher didn't delay the class and left as soon as the bell rang.

Cheng Yin, Xie Ying and Nie Nan packed their schoolbags and went to a place to eat together.

Originally wanted to find Zhao Welin with him, but he said he wanted to go home first, so Cheng Yin and the others went to eat first, and Zhao Welin came before they waited a few minutes before the dishes were ready.

He brought a cake.

Everyone looked at him, he was a little embarrassed and gave the cake to Cheng Yin.

"I don't know what gift to give, so I prepared a cake for you."

At this moment, Cheng Yin remembered that he had put a cake in the security room and forgot to take it.

But forget it, there is a cake from Zhao Weilin anyway.

And Cheng Yin is a person who pays more attention to the appearance of the cake than the taste. She opened it immediately and took a look. It is even more beautiful than the cake she received today!

Although a little small, but a few of them are enough to eat.

"So beautiful! Thank you!"

Zhao Weilin said embarrassedly, "No thanks, no thanks."

"Oh, but I think this is very expensive." Cheng Yin added, "Don't spend so much money next time."

next time...

Zhao Weilin's heart trembled.

Since he was in junior high school, he has no friends, and he has never participated in other people's birthday parties.

"Thank you anyway." Cheng Yin said again, "It's so beautiful, where did you buy it?"

"I, I..." Zhao Weilin buried his head low, "I did it myself."

"wow!"

His words surprised everyone present, especially the girls who never thought that Zhao Weilin, who looked like a nerd, would still make cakes.

For a while, Zhao Weilin became the focus of the topic, and they also pestered Zhao Weilin to learn how to make cakes with him after the college entrance examination.

Zhao Weilin responded one by one.

At this time, Zhang Sky came, and everyone became cautious when they saw strangers.

Fortunately, Zhang Sky is a very familiar person, and he got along with Cheng Yin's classmates in no time.

After eating, Xie Ying was the first to propose to cut the cake, but Cheng Yin did not agree.

"Let's sing later, let's eat cake at ktv!"

That's fine, anyway, they don't drink alcohol when they go to ktv, and it's more atmospheric to eat some cakes.

Saying so, the group walked towards KTV in a mighty manner.

Today's dinner consumed a lot of wine, especially Zheng Wenxing, who was poured by everyone.

The only person present who didn't drink was Chen Ran.

Zheng Wenxing was drunk because today was the day he retired. He has won awards over the years, and now he is considered to be retiring from the peak. Last week, he was invited to dinner by friends from all walks of life, and it was only today that he set aside time to gather Take care of yourself, who have grown up playing since childhood.

Also because today is his birthday.

And Chen Ran was not drunk because Zheng Wenxing brought good news today.

Chen Ran is about to be recalled, if nothing else, it will be before the Spring Festival.

Everyone is happy for him, and naturally they won't drink alcohol.

So when it came to ktv, Chen Ran was the most sober one.

He first sent Zheng Wenxing, who was walking floating, to the box.

Zheng Wenxing is indeed the most important friend in life for him. Both a brother and a teacher.

After setting up Zheng Wenxing, Chen Ran went downstairs to help.

It was a large group of men who came today. If they drank too much, they would go wild. If no one watched, they might get out of the taxi and lie on the ground.

After helping the last friend to the elevator, Chen Ran's body was already stained with the unpleasant smell of alcohol.

There was no air circulation in the elevator, and he himself despised himself.

As soon as the elevator door opened, he suddenly saw several familiar figures.

Cheng Yin and the others were swiping their cards at the front desk, and then a waiter led them to the box.

Chen Ran supported his friend and walked to the box.

It was still early and there were not many people in the aisle. He clearly watched Cheng Yin jumping ahead, followed by several boys, one of whom was carrying a birthday cake.

Not that he sent that.

Then they turned into a box.

When Chen Ran supported his friend through the box of Chengyin, he made a note of the number.

Also a luxury bag.

Children at home, what ktv is coming?

Entering the box, Chen Ran's first thing was to send a message to Cheng Yin.

"What ktv are you here at night, do you know it's not safe here?"

After a few minutes, there was no reply.

Chen Ran called her again, but no one answered.

Seems to be having fun.

Forget it.

Chen Ran sat in the corner, watching his friends sing and drink.

The hand hanging beside his leg felt a rope. He picked it up and saw that it was a red rope.

If Chen Ran remembered correctly, it should be the red rope that Zheng Wenxing has been hanging around his neck. His mother went to the temple to ask for safety.

However, Zheng Wenxing is so drunk now that if he returns it to him, it is estimated that he will lose it in a while.

Chen Ran played with the rope on the phone.

The lights in the ktv were very dim, and a friend fell down with a wine glass and squeezed beside Chen Ran.

"Fuck!" said the friend suddenly, "Chen Ran, what are you doing? How the hell are you such a motherfucker!"

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment and looked down.

Hold.

He was actually using the red rope to turn flowers.

"Damn it hahahaha, Chen Ran, I can't think of it! You are so girlish! Why don't you go embroidery cross stitch when you are playing with the fucking rope?"

The friend's laughter attracted the others, who laughed along with them.

Chen Ran was annoyed and speechless, and suddenly got up and said, "You guys play first, I'll find a friend and come back later."
