Tomboy

Chapter 51: birthday wishes

    Li Mingzhu didn't get a good night's sleep.

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

    She returned to the attic in the middle of the night, and sat dryly all night until dawn, when she asked for personal leave and took the shuttle bus to Nanshan Cemetery.

    Second Artillery, who originally planned to go with her, brought a bouquet of flowers to Li Mingzhu because she had to accompany her girlfriend temporarily.

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

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

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

    After a person dies, it is normally completely forgotten after fifty years.

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

    She has nothing to do with this world except Su Tianyu.

    The Nanshan Cemetery that Lu Yao went to in the morning, Li Mingzhu deliberately chose the afternoon time to stagger with him to avoid collision.

    She was standing in front of Lu Zhi's tombstone. On the tombstone was a photo of his 20-year-old ID card. She smiled brightly and had two sharp teeth, which was very similar to Lu Yao.

    Li Mingzhu squatted and looked at Lu Zhi carefully.

      Come see Lu Zhi.

    Because those things are more important than Lu Zhi.

    Every living thing is more important than a dead person.

    "Mr. Lu, I will recommend B University." Li Mingzhu said to herself, "When the notice arrives, I will make a copy for you."

    "Lu Yao came to see you this morning, have you seen him?"

    Li Mingzhu put the flowers of the Second Artillery and the flowers he brought together and stacked them in front of the tombstone.

    She suddenly burst into a beautiful smile, unlike her usual indifferent smile, Li Mingzhu vaguely saw the ease of her age in this smile.

    "Lu Zhi." Li Mingzhu put her hand on the tombstone, "The boy you care about has grown up."

    "He's...well."

    "It's better than I thought, although the relationship was bad with me at first." Li Mingzhu burst out laughing, "Like you, don't you know me?"

    "You two brothers look alike."

    "I used to hear you mention him a lot... Later, when I wanted to hear it, I lost the chance."

    "Do you know which aspect of Lu Yao is most like you?" Li Mingzhu said, "You all like to excerpt from sad sentences, Lu Yao and you learn it, don't be rude."

    She sighed and sat here.

    "I'll accompany you for a while, you are so talkative, no one talks with you, not to suffocate you."

    Li Mingzhu talked a lot like every time she came.

     

    She seemed to put all the things she didn't say on this day. Li Mingzhu stopped when she said that her mouth was dry.

    The sky was getting dark, Li Mingzhu stood up, "I'm leaving, Lu Zhi."

    "See you next time." She waved.

    Li Mingzhu thought, next time I come to see him, next time I come to see him too, after sixty years I die, who will come to see him.

     

    Just like the Second Artillery Corps gradually stopped seeing Lu Zhi, he would forget Lu Zhi, and he would forget Lu Zhi.

    Occasionally she can't even remember Lu Zhi's appearance.

    An ordinary person can be remembered for 60 years, and Li Mingzhu walked out of the cemetery and thought: Maybe I will be forgotten as soon as I die.

    Li Mingzhu walked to the first street light, and continued to think sadly: maybe no one knows when I die.

    Light snow began to float in the sky, as if to echo her mood.

    Li Mingzhu felt a bit of coldness in this weather suitable for a piece of erhu music.

    She took two steps, and the cold winter wind was pulled away by Lu Yao's voice.

    "Li Ming...?"

    Lu Yao was panting and holding on to the telephone pole.

    Li Mingzhu looked at him in surprise.

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

    Li Mingzhu: "Where's your car..."

    Lu Yao looked back and indicated that a Porsche was parked a few hundred meters away.

    Li Mingzhu: "Aren't you going to drive over?"

     

    "So you didn't know if it was me, so you came so far?" Li Mingzhu couldn't say what she felt, her heart was hot, and there was a hot blood rushing through her heart, but she was also angry, "Running in such a cold day, sweat soaked clothes for a while to cool down. Are you waiting for a high fever?"

    Lu Yao smiled, "I'm in good health."

    Li Mingzhu thought: ... hopeless!

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

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

    "Can I still have a birthday present?"

    Li Mingzhu dotes on his smile.

    "What do you want."

    Lu Yao's words came out: I want you.

    He thought about it, 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 called the street lamp lost its color.

    "Lu Yao, come here, I'll 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.

    Li Mingzhu wears thick clothes in winter, so she is more courageous, and she is not afraid of being discovered.

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

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

    She patted Lu Yao's shoulder, "Okay, let go."

    Lu Yao refused to let go and tightened his grip.

    He mumbled aggrievedly, "You only give me a hug for my birthday a year, I'll hug for a while longer!"

    Li Mingzhu said helplessly, "What does it look like two big men hugging each other on the road."

    Lu Yao, "You don't care what others do, 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 good today?"

    Li Mingzhu, "Do you want to slap?"

    Lu Yao decisively refused!

    Li Mingzhu, "Because it's your birthday today."

    Lu Yao said: The birthday benefits are so good?

    He reacted suddenly, "Hey! No, then I'm at a loss, I didn't enjoy the benefits in the morning, and now two-thirds of the day has passed, I have to postpone the time!"

    Li Mingzhu didn't know what to do, since she saw Lu Yao tonight, her heart softened and she knew it was wrong, but - what about him!

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

    He took the snow seed with his hand, and the snow fell on his hand, and it melted as soon as it fell.

    Lu Yao didn't walk well, so she insisted on walking with her, and squeezed Li Mingzhu inside, afraid that Li Mingzhu would fall, the other hand firmly fixed her shoulder, She was half in her arms.

    A normal friend walks, Lu Yao wouldn't hug him like that, it's too close.

    Li Mingzhu knew this, but wanted to forget it.

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

    Li Mingzhu looked around and saw that there were no shops around, and she was drowsy, making it difficult to recognize the way.

    Lu Yao didn't know how long the eyes of the dog were, and could recognize her under the dim street light.

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

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

    "I recognized it as soon as I saw it, I knew it was you." He fiddled with the little snowflakes in the air with great joy.

    Li Mingzhu thought: He ran directly from the car.

    For the second time in her life, Li Mingzhu felt valued.

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

    She is both happy and melancholy, not like herself, but like a girl who worries about 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, very cold.

    Lu Yao said, "The snow in the south is too small. I'll take you to see the snow in City B in the future. The goose feather snow is very beautiful."

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

    "It's okay, 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, "As soon as Xiaoxue falls into his hands, it will be gone."

    "People are like this too." Li Mingzhu added, "When you die, it's gone, just like snow turns into water, and water disappears into water."

    "I'm the same way, Lu Yao." Li Mingzhu thought about it and said it.

    She waited patiently, as if to prove some difficult physics problem.

    'The Big Question of Physics' Lu Yao quickly answered, "I won't let you die."

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

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

    Lu Yao, who had poor academic performance, gave a standard answer this time that Li Mingzhu wanted to hear.

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

    "While I'm in a good mood, hurry up and shut up." Li Mingzhu made a stop gesture.

    She has a little complacency that she can't hide, but also a little melancholy like an elder: Could it be that he really likes me?

    Lu Yao didn't know what Li Mingzhu was thinking. As he walked, he thought about the usable value of his birthday welfare time.

    Li Mingzhu really did what he said. No matter what excessive demands he made tonight, Li Mingzhu readily agreed, which made him feel a little overwhelmed.

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

    Lu Yao was thinking about going back and giving Su Tianyu half of it. He knew that Li Mingzhu missed her, so the return trip was very fast. The driver took them downstairs and mentioned something before leaving.

    "Young Master, go home and have a look, Auntie Wang..."

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

    Back home, Li Mingzhu cut the cake and gave Su Tianyu a piece.

    Su Tianyu ate Lu Yao's cake--it was soft-mouthed, so she immediately made him pleasing to the eye, and she asked Lu Yao to come over and talk to him some crazy words.

    Tell him to be nice to Li Mingzhu, and I can't get rid of her in the future, and so on.

    Lu Yao listened patiently, and occasionally responded with a few words. After Su Tianyu fell asleep on the bed, he walked downstairs with the cake.

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

    Li Mingzhu:…

    A large piece of cake was dug before I remembered to light a candle and make a wish, why did you go early!

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

    In the small room, the faint candlelight flickered gently.

    The cake was placed on Lu Yao's desk, Li Mingzhu walked in and sat on the bed.

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

    Lu Yao said, "Sincere is the spirit, what do you know."

    He glanced at the time, eleven fifty-five, five minutes left, and his birthday passed.

    Li Mingzhu was waiting for him to make a wish and blow out the candle, but neither of them spoke.

    Lu Yao's breathing was a little short. He didn't close his eyes when he made a wish, but stared at Li Mingzhu nervously.

    He said his wish:

    "Can I... kiss you."
