Birthday Wish

Li Mingzhu didn't sleep well at night.

Lu Yao leaned against her tiredly, numb half of her shoulders.

She returned to the attic in the middle of the night, and sat dry until dawn, she took personal leave and got on the shuttle bus to Nanshan Cemetery.

Er Pao, who originally planned to go with her, was extremely sorry to bring a bouquet of flower baskets to Li Mingzhu because he had to accompany his girlfriend temporarily.

"I can't go, Li Ming ... Hey, apologize to Teacher Lu for me."

Li Mingzhu took over the flower basket and did not blame him.

Lu Zhi has been dead for eight full years, this time is too long, long enough to dilute all feelings.

After a person dies, they will be completely forgotten after 50 years under normal circumstances.

When Li Mingzhu got out of the car, he thought: People like me will probably be forgotten immediately after death.

Except for Su Tianyu, she has no contact with the world.

When Lu Yao went to the Nanshan Cemetery in the morning, Li Mingzhu deliberately chose the afternoon time and staggered with him to avoid the collision.

She was standing in front of Lu Zhi's tombstone. On the tombstone was his 20-year-old ID photo. She smiled brilliantly, with two pointed tiger teeth, which were very similar to Lu Yao.

Li Mingzhu squatted halfway, watching Lu Zhi carefully.

She almost forgot what Lu Zhi looked like. Every time she remembered a little, she would forget a little. Soon, she might be like Er Pao, because of this and other reasons, she couldn't get out to see Lu Zhi.

Because those things are more important than Lu Zhi.

Everything about a living person is more important than a dead person.

"Teacher Lu, I was recommended to University B.," Li Mingzhu said to himself, "When the notice arrives, I will make a copy and burn it for you."

"Lu Yao visited you this morning, have you seen him?"

Li Mingzhu put the flowers from Er Pao and the flowers he brought together and stacked them in front of the tombstone.

She suddenly burst into a beautiful smile, unlike her usual smile. In this smile, Li Mingzhu vaguely saw how relaxed she should be at her age.

"Lu Zhi."

Li Mingzhu put his hand on the tombstone, "The teenager you are concerned about has grown up."

"He's good."

"It's better than I thought, although at first, the relationship was with me." Li Mingzhu snorted and laughed, "Just like you, don't you know me if you don't fight?"

"You brothers look alike."

"I used to hear you mention him ... Later, when I wanted to listen, there was no chance."

"Do you know what Lu Yao resembles you most?" Li Mingzhu said, "You all like to excerpt sentimental sentences. Lu Yao and you learned it. Don't rely on it."

She sighed and sat here.

"I will stay with you for a while, you are so talkative, no one speaks with you, not to suffocate you."

Li Mingzhu talked a lot like every time she came.

Take out all the little things that you don't have, all the little things that you have all year round, and talk about the previous paragraph.

She seemed to have put all the things she wants to say on this day. Li Mingzhu said that her mouth was dry, and then she stopped.

The sky has gradually dimmed, and Li Mingzhu stood up and said, "I'm leaving, Lu Zhi."

"I'll see you next time." She waved.

Li Mingzhu thought, next time I come to see him, I died 60 years later, who will come to see him.

Whenever a person dies in the world, as long as sixty years have passed, and the person who remembered him finally forgets him, he will really die.

It's like Er Pao didn't come to see Lu Zhi gradually, he would forget Lu Zhi, and she would also forget Lu Zhi.

She even occasionally couldn't remember what Lu Zhi looked like.

An ordinary person has been remembered for 60 years. Li Mingzhu walked out of the cemetery and thought: Maybe I will be forgotten when I die.

When Li Mingzhu walked to the first street lamp to light up, it was rare to continue to think sadly: Maybe no one knew if I died.

Snowflake began to float in the sky as if to echo her state of mind.

Li Mingzhu felt a bit of coldness in the weather suitable for pulling on a piece of sorrowful music.

She took two steps, and the cold wind of Winter was torn away by Lu Yao's voice.

"Li Ming ...?"

Lu Yao was panting and leaning on the telephone pole, looking like he was running over, running in a hurry, and his whole body was steaming.

Li Mingzhu looked at him in surprise.

Lu Yao said, "It's really you. The back looked a bit like you, I was in the car, so I ran out of the car."

Li Mingzhu: "Where is your car ..."

Lu Yao motioned backward that a Porsche had stopped a few hundred meters away.

Li Mingzhu: "Would you not drive the car over?"

"If you don't come over there, you have to make a circle from the road next door. After the round, you will leave. Where can I catch up with you."

"So you didn't know if it was me, so you just ran so far?" Li Mingzhu couldn't tell what it felt. Her heart was hot, and there was hot blood rushing through her heart, but she was also angry.

"Sweat your clothes and cool down, are you waiting to get a high fever?"

Lu Yao smiled, "I am in good health."

Li Mingzhu thought: ... hopeless!

Lu Yao, as if discovering the New World, said with joy, "Are you here to celebrate my birthday?"

Li Mingzhu's tight hand gradually loosened, "... Well, yes, but there is no birthday present."

"Can I still ask for a birthday gift?"

Li Mingzhu smiled in favor of him.

"What do you want."

Lu Yao's words are ready to come out: I want you.

He thought for a while but didn't say anything.

"Can you give me a hug?"

Li Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, "Princess hug?"

Lu Yao looked at her, "I don't think the feasibility is high." He added, "The reverse is still possible."

Li Mingzhu laughed and told the street lights to lose their color.

"Lu Yao, come here and I will hug you."

Lu Yao thought: There must be a reason for something abnormal. This may be a trap.

He reminded himself that it was a trap, but his body embraced Li Mingzhu without hesitation.

In winter, Li Mingzhu dressed thickly, so she was more courageous, and she was not afraid of being discovered.

Because she needs a match to keep warm now, and Lu Yao has become a little sun very considerately.

Li Mingzhu thought: Unfortunately, it is not my sun.

She patted Lu Yao on the shoulder, "Okay, let go."

Lu Yao refused to let go and tightened.

He murmured aggrievedly, "You only give me a hug for my birthday once a year, so I will hug a little longer!"

Li Mingzhu helplessly said, "What are the two big men cuddling and hugging on the road."

Lu Yao, "What do you care about others, I didn't hug them."

Li Mingzhu thought: Today is a special day, I should agree to his request.

Lu Yao hugged enough and wondered, "Why are you so behave today?"

Li Mingzhu, "Do you want to slap?"

Lu Yao decisively refused!

Li Mingzhu, "Because of your birthday today."

Lu Yao said: Birthday benefits are so good?

He reacted abruptly, "Hey! No, then I lost, I didn't enjoy the benefits in the morning, and now two-thirds of the day has passed, I want to postpone the time!"

Li Mingzhu doesn't know what's wrong. Since seeing Lu Yao tonight, her heart has been soft and messed up. She knows that this is not right, but - leave it alone!

Lu Yao was sad for the day because of Li Mingzhu's appearance, he turned a little bit.

He followed the snowflake with his hand, and the snowflake fell on his hand and melted as soon as it fell.

Lu Yao didn't walk well, so he insisted on walking with her, squeezing Li Mingzhu inside, and was afraid that Li Mingzhu would fall. He firmly fixed her shoulder with the other hand and half-wrapped her in his arms.

Lu Yao would not hug her like that when a normal friend walks, it is too close.

Li Mingzhu knew this but wanted to forget it.

"Have you had dinner? I'm so hungry!" Lu Yao complained.

Li Mingzhu looked around and found that there were no shops around, and he was dizzy and hard to recognize the way.

Lu Yao didn't know how the eyes of these dogs were long, so he could recognize her under the dim street lamp.

Li Mingzhu asked him, "How did you recognize me?"

Lu Yao has seen a lot of snow in the north, but until now he is still interested in the snow in the south.

"I recognized it when I saw it, and I knew it was you." He fiddled with the small snowflakes in the air, and he was very happy to fiddle.

Li Mingzhu thought: He ran directly out of the car.

For the second time in his life, Li Mingzhu felt that she was taken seriously.

But she didn't think it was a good sign, because the last person who valued her has returned to the sky.

She is both joyful and melancholy. She is not like herself, but like a girl who suffers from gains and losses.

But no matter what Li Mingzhu thinks in her heart, no matter how young she is, she looks like a dead person on the surface and is very cold.

Lu Yao said, "The snow in the south is too small. I will take you to see the snow in City B in the future. The goose feathers are heavy snow and it looks very beautiful."

"Well, I heard from my friends." Li Mingzhu replied, "He also said to take me to see it, but unfortunately there is no chance."

"It doesn't matter, I'll take you to see it." Lu Yao said, "When do you want to see it?"

Li Mingzhu did not speak.

Lu Yao arrived, "The snowflake is gone as soon as it falls in his hands."

"The same is true for people." Li Mingzhu added, "After death, it is gone, just like snow melts into water, and water disappears in the water."

"I'm the same, Lu Yao." Li Mingzhu thought for a while and said this.

She waited patiently, seeming to be trying to prove some difficult physics problem.

Lu Yao quickly answered the 'Physics Problem', "I won't let you die."

He said, "You are so young and you won't die."

Li Mingzhu smiled without saying a word. After saying this, she felt happy for several degrees.

Lu Yao, who was in a mess with poor academic performance, said this time a standard answer that Li Mingzhu wanted to hear.

Lu Yao looked at Li Mingzhu and smiled, thinking that Li Mingzhu didn't believe him, so he added, "I can recognize you when you turn into ashes."

"When I am in a good mood, shut up quickly." Li Mingzhu made a stop gesture.

She is a little bit proud, and she is also a little bit of elder melancholy: Is it possible that he really likes me?

Lu Yao didn't know Li Mingzhu's twists and turns. As he walked, he thought about the value of his birthday welfare time.

Sure enough, Li Mingzhu said that he could do it. No matter what excessive request he made tonight, Li Mingzhu readily agreed, which made him a little ecstatic.

He passed by a cake shop and took out the ready-made birthday cake directly from it. It was not too big or too small, and it was just right for three people.

Lu Yao was worried about going back to give Su Tianyu half. He knew that Li Mingzhu missed her, so the return journey was very fast. The driver sent them downstairs and said before leaving.

"Little Master, go home and see more, Aunt Wang ..."

Lu Yao replied perfunctorily. Before the driver had finished speaking, he grabbed Li Mingzhu and ran upstairs.

Back at home, Li Mingzhu cut the cake and bought a piece for Su Tianyu.

Su Tianyu ate Lu Yao's cake, people's mouths softly, so she immediately saw him pleasing to the eye, she told Lu Yao to come over and said some crazy talk to him.

Ask him to be nice to Li Mingzhu, and he can't let her get married later, etc.

Lu Yao listened patiently and occasionally responded with two sentences in cooperation. After Su Tianyu slept in bed, he walked downstairs with the cake.

Li Mingzhu asked him what he was doing, and Lu Yao said, "Light a candle and make a wish!"

Li Mingzhu: ...

I have dug a large piece of cake before I want to start a candle to make a wish. Why did you go there early!

Li Mingzhu still went downstairs. She saw that Lu Yao had turned off the lights in the room, and carefully lit the candles with a lighter.

In a small room, the faint candlelight beats gently.

The cake was placed on Lu Yao's desk, and Li Mingzhu came in and sat on the bed. She couldn't laugh or cry when she saw Lu Yao's cautious look.

"How old you are, you still believe in making a wish."

Lu Yao said, "Since you are sincere, you know what I want."

He glanced at the time, at 11:55, and five minutes before his birthday passed.

Li Mingzhu waited for him to make a wish and blow the candles, but the two of them did not speak, the night was sultry, and they were silent.

Lu Yao's breathing was a bit short, and instead of closing his eyes when making a wish, he stared at Li Mingzhu nervously.

He read his wish:

"May I ... kiss you."
