I See The Galaxy - Chapter 43

    Three days before the end of the middle, Sheng Yi’s birthday came as scheduled.

    The two points of energy spent on this matter are not one or two points. At first, Yu Xing planned to “completely stay out of it”, but now, he has to be forced to “participate a little”.

    The gift she gave was not unusual.

    At their age, there are not many occasions where you need to wear a tie in ordinary life, but Sheng Yi’s background must be a lot when wearing formal clothes, which is a useful item.

    Yu Xing spends his pocket money, and the economy is limited, so he can’t buy too expensive things. A blue plaid tie cost almost three hundred.

    After two o’clock in the afternoon, Yu Xing went out with a packaged gift and went to the pastry shop to pick up the cake. Although it was a small cake, to show her sincerity, she still went to the store to customize it in advance. The styles and patterns were made according to the large cakes of more than ten inches. The main color was blue, and the finished product was gratifying.

    Yu Xing set off to look for Sheng Yi, and went to the place where they had arranged to meet in advance, and Sheng Yi had already arrived, I don’t know how long beforehand. She walked over with something in both hands, and saw him leaning on the car waiting there from a distance – wearing a formal suit.

    Yu Xing approached, frowned and looked at him several times, first said to him: “Why are you here so early? You want to treat guests at night, and there are no guests to entertain at home?” Then he expressed his opinion on his dress, ” And why are you dressed so formally?”

    “The guests have to be entertained, and I am only responsible for entertaining you.” Sheng Yi smiled, stood up straight, and looked more stylish, “I have to wear formal clothes at night, I am too lazy to spare time. Instead, go straight to it later.”

    Yu Xing was speechless. Is he planning to stay with her until the birthday party starts tonight?

    Sighed, Yu Xing didn’t talk nonsense, and took the lead: “Let’s go.”

    The meeting place was chosen here because a noodle restaurant she carefully selected was not far ahead. That noodle restaurant has a good environment, good service, and most importantly, the taste of handmade noodles is top-notch.

    In order to choose his birthday longevity noodles, she looked through the online reviews for several days.

    Sheng Yi followed and reached out to pick up what was in her hand.

    Yu Xing was walking well, he was stunned for a moment when he leaned over, and the next second, the cake was taken by him.

    “Give me that too,” he said.

    Carefully caught off guard, she pursed her lips and said no, “It’s not heavy, just carry one.”

    Sheng Yi did not insist.

    The box is not big, but the brand is formal and down-to-earth. The atmosphere is not suspended at all. Old shop, add a little more appetite.

    After ordering, Yu Xing gave him the gift.

    “What is it?” Sheng Yi was curious, “Could it be something you made by yourself?”

    “Take it apart and see.”

    While speaking, he unwrapped the gift, “Tie?”

    Yu Xing looked at his expression: “Don’t like it?”

    “No.” He smiled, “It’s just that I look forward to the things you make by yourself.” He turned the tie over and looked carefully, “You really didn’t sew it yourself?”

    She curled her lips: “I want to be beautiful. Can I sew so beautifully?”

    “Don’t be so arrogant. Junior girl, you have such a strong hands-on ability, and it’s not a problem at all.” Sheng Yi praised earnestly, and then raised his eyebrows, “…Why don’t you do something for me?”

    Yu Xing hummed: “Then I’ll make you a few kilos of dim sum, what do you think? It tastes exactly the same as last time.”

    “…”

    “…”

    As if nothing happened, Sheng Yi picked up the tie to change the subject: “Look at the school girl, this is actually blue!”

    Yu Xing sneered and took a cup to drink.

    Sample, she has long been very handy in dealing with this shameless person who is so prudent.

    A few words.

    The noodles came up quickly, Yu Xing wiped the chopsticks, handed a pair to Sheng Yi, and they both lowered their heads and started.

    I took a sip and paused.

    In the second bite, the chewing action is gradually mechanical, and the swallowing is slow.

    Third mouth…

    The two stopped their chopsticks at the same time.

    She looked at each other silently for two seconds, then Sheng Yi looked suspicious: “This is what you said, a delicious restaurant?”

    Yu Xing defended embarrassingly: “No, the food I ate last time was really delicious!” He said “what’s the matter” while picking up the menu.

    “Ah!” She found the point, “Yes, I ordered a signboard last time, and this one we ordered today is a new product!”

    “New?”

    “Yes, this new product has just been launched, and it is estimated that it has not passed the market test. What are the people who launched this flavor thinking…” She complained and immediately ordered again, “I want two more, I want Otherwise, order what I ate last time…”

    Sheng Yi stopped: “Forget it. Longevity noodles are just for eating, don’t order them.” He just wanted to tease her and didn’t care how it tasted.

    And people who don’t like it, even if it’s delicious, it’s not fun.

    What matters is not what you eat, but who you are with.

    “Then don’t eat it?” Yu Xing asked him what he meant.

    “Take apart the cake.” Sheng Yi said, “Just eat the longevity noodles, you’ll be fine.”

    Seeing that he didn’t mind, Yu Xing pushed the noodles aside and opened the cake.

    The cake was also blue.

    Put a nineteen year old candle and light it with a lighter.

    Yu Xing coughed and said, “It’s not too bright during the day, you can make do with it.”

    She didn’t speak, just smiled faintly.

    “Hurry up, you make a wish!” She urged, pushing the cake in front of him.

    Sheng Yi stared at her for a few seconds and closed his eyes silently.

    Soon, he opened his eyes and blew out the candle in the expectant and “encouraging” eyes of Yu Xing.

    Yu Xing applauded, and after a few slaps, she suddenly felt childish, and hurriedly closed her hands in embarrassment.

    The cake is not big, it is suitable for two people to eat, plus no noodles, just enough to fill the stomach.

    Eating and eating, Sheng Yi suddenly asked, “Aren’t you curious about what I wish for?”

    “Why are you curious?” Yu Xing said strangely, “You can’t say a birthday wish in the first place, so it doesn’t work, right?”

    “Really don’t want to know?”

    “I don’t want to.”

    Seeing that she was not interested, Sheng Yi shut up.

    The cake is finished, the gift is received, the noodles are not going to be touched again, it is almost time to leave.

    It was still early before dark, and Sheng Yi asked Yu Xing to play with him. For his birthday, Yu Xing agreed. After a short rest to leave, he glanced at the tie.

    “School girl.”

    “Huh?”

    “Since this noodle is not tasty…”

    Yu Xing has a bad premonition: “What do you want to say?”

    Sure enough, the next second Sheng Yi said with a smile: “As compensation, can you help me tie a tie?”

    Yu Xing was stunned, and subconsciously looked at his chest. He was wearing a formal suit, but no tie, and a white shirt under a black suit. After being stunned, of course he refused mercilessly: “No!”

    “Tie it?”

    “Don’t think about it!”

    Kicked him under the table, Yu Xing didn’t bother to pay attention to his nonsense, and urged: “Let’s go.”

    Sheng Yi pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, without further entanglement, took the gift and got up.

    …

    Accompany Sheng Yi to play outside until it gets dark, look at the time, it is half past six. He received several calls, all of them urging him, and Yu Xing couldn’t help but get anxious: “Are you going back… it’s already at this point! Can’t you make it in time? You can go first if it’s too late, I’ll take a taxi home by myself. .”

    Sheng Yi said nothing, “It’s still early, I’ll take you.”

    Yu Xing couldn’t beat him, so he had to agree. Speed ​​up under your feet, for fear of delaying his time.

     Along the way, Yu Xing frequently checked the time, and finally got home downstairs, and his expression eased slightly.

    Sheng Yi laughed: “If you didn’t know, I thought you were in a hurry.”

    “Why are you so leisurely?” Yu Xing angered him, “It’s seven o’clock!”

    He was indifferent and didn’t care much.

    He stretched out his hand to pull the door of the car, but it couldn’t be opened. Yu Xing turned around and saw that he had lit a cigarette, and was momentarily stunned.

    “You…”

    Sheng Yi glanced at her, paused for a while, reached out to unlock the car door, and paused the lighting of the cigarette, “Go back. I will light again when you go down, or I will choke you.”

    Yu Xing rarely sees him smoking, and the number of times is almost non-existent. For a moment, he forgets whether he smokes or not.

    Sheng Yi raised his eyebrows: “Have you seen me smoking?” He said, “Just two, it’s fine.”

    His expression could not be seen clearly in the dim sky, and the lights were not turned on in the car. Yu Xing guessed: “You…are you in a bad mood?”

    “A little.” He admitted, heaving a sigh of relief, “It’s annoying to think about going back, so I take two sips to decompress.”

    The hand that opened the door slowly retracted, and Yu Xing sat back a little.

    “Is it annoying because I don’t like too many people?”

    Sheng Yi nodded: “Yes, but more than that.”

    She stared at him blankly.

      His guests. In the past years, my aunt was still there, but this year she couldn’t make it back from abroad, so…” He shrugged, “There are not many people I really want to see, and I have to be dragged to keep entertaining when I go, which is annoying.”

    Yu Xing was a little surprised.

    I thought that after what happened, his family should take better care of him. However, materially, it may be done, but emotionally…

    Somehow, the image of him lobbying for his birthday party flashed through his mind.

    “There are very few people who really want to see”, so, why do you want her to go?

    My throat was a little blocked for a while, and I couldn’t speak.

    Sheng Yi is just a common confidant—although she wouldn’t do this to others, she said this to Yu Xing, just because she wanted to know, and it didn’t make any sense.

    With a cigarette in his hand, worried that she hadn’t lit it for a long time, he simply folded it in half and threw it into the ashtray between the two seats, not planning to smoke any more.

    “You go back. I’ll wait for you to go upstairs.”

    Yu Xing was silent, hummed, opened the door and got off.

    Get off the car and walk towards the corridor, halfway through, the pace gets slower and slower, and suddenly stops.

     Taking a deep breath, Yu Xing turned back to the car and stopped by the door of his cab.

    The car window was lowered, and Lin Sheng also raised his eyes: “Huh?”

    “You come down.” Yu Xing said, his face was a little heavy, and his emotions were unclear.

    “What’s wrong?” Sheng Yi was a little puzzled, but got off the bus as he said.

    As soon as his foot touched the ground, Yu Xing added: “Take off the tie.”

    Sheng Yi paused for a while, seemingly aware of what she was going to do.

    Besides the door where he turned off the car, they faced each other, one tall and the other short.

    Yu Xing took the tie from his hand, without speaking, he grabbed his collar and pulled him down. With a serious face and a serious expression, she awkwardly tied the tie for him.

    She didn’t say a word, she bent down and looked straight at her face in front of her. Those eyes were really beautiful.

    After doing all this, Yu Xing took a small step back, and his face showed embarrassment.

    “I don’t know how to tie a tie, it’s the first time I can tie it.”

    Sheng Yi stood up slowly, looked down at her, his eyes were thick, and he suppressed the turbulent and unspeakable emotions. His throat moved, and he asked in a hoarse voice, “Why did you put a tie on me?”

    “The noodles are unpalatable, didn’t you say that as compensation.” Her voice was slightly lower, and she still didn’t look him in the eyes.

     She pursed her lips, and squeezed her fingers with her uneasy hands, and Yu Xing slowly raised her head.

    Yu Xing suppressed the enthusiasm on his face and said warmly, “Happy birthday.”

     Without waiting for him to speak, she took a step forward and hugged him gently.

    “…Today is the day you were born, be happy.” She paused and repeated, “Happy birthday.”

    With a light touch, let go immediately.

    Yu Xing took a step back, a flash of discomfort in his eyes: “I’m leaving…”

    “School girl.”

    Sheng Yi stopped her.

    She stopped, “…what, what?”

    “I’ve never made a wish before, and today is the first time.” He said, “Do you know what my birthday wish was this afternoon?”

    She was stunned for a moment, but did not respond.

    Sheng Yi pulled his tie: “My wish is that this year, this year, this birthday will be a little happier. It was originally a random promise, but now…”

    He squeezed the tie knot she tied for him, tightening it a little.

    Smiling lightly, those peach blossom eyes filled with light, curved into a beautiful shape.

    “—My wish has come true.”
