Chapter 32 – Birthday

Chi Tang’s cold was not serious, but it didn’t get better until one week later. In previous years, her summer vacation consisted of eating, drinking, and playing on the computer, and she rarely went shopping. Although the summer vacation this year was a little different, most of the time it continues the previous “tradition”.

There were more times of changing meals day and night and less Internet addiction, so naturally there were two dark circles.

“I didn’t rest yesterday, okay?”

You Yu asked who made tea for her.

Chi Tang took the iced tea, poked it, and took a sip. “I didn’t sleep last night.”

You Yu:”… playing games?”

Not all, but Chi Tang was not prepared to explain, so he said. Since the summer vacation, she had watched a lot of live singing, one after another, and she also wanted to try it. She also found Urikke, which had been useless for a long time at home, to practice.

There was a harmonica. She bought it when she was bored. After self-study for a while, Urik played well. She played the harmonica for a while and then put it down with little interest. Later, she moved to Nanlin. She lived at school most of the time. She hadn’t played these again, but now she had an interest in taking them out again.

She was not too embarrassed to tell her friends what she was doing and felt that proactively talking about them was like showing off.

Watching her go home, You Yu sighed and continued to make tea.You Yu’s aunt next to her jokingly asked her: “What was Xiao Yu sighing? Can you play games all night if you are envious of the same table? “

You Yu: “I think she lives alone and often gets turned upside down day and night, and her three meals are not fixed, so she can easily get stomach problems.”

You Yu’s aunt was amused by her words, “Don’t all kids your age like to play? I did when I was young. But Xiao Yu, you look like a parent, and you still worry about such things. ” She shook her head. “By the way, which one of you two is older?”

You Yu: “I was a few months older than her.”

You Yu thought of something and said, “She will have her birthday next month.”

She wanted to give her a gift to express her gratitude, but she didn’t know what to give. She hadn’t thought about it for a long time, so she wanted to ask the boss’s sister.

You Yu’s aunt thought for a while: “Most of my friends have their own jobs, and it is difficult to get together to play together. For their birthdays, I usually order a bouquet to be delivered. “

“You are still students. You don’t need to give very expensive gifts. What birthday gift did you give yourself at the same table?” her aunt asked.

You Yu said: “On my last birthday, she gave me a pair of shoes.”

Sister boss: “Shoes, not bad.”

You Yu said: “There are also thirty-two tutorial books and exercise books.”

You Yu’s aunt’s smile disappeared:”… thirty-two books. Are you great friends with your deskmate? “

If her friends gave her so many workbook tutorials when she was in school, the friendship would probably end.

Chi Tang didn’t know that the tablemate was thinking about her birthday present for her. She went home and mentioned the ukulele for practice. After hesitating for a while, she started the live broadcast. She just sat by the window, and there was a bullet. She hadn’t played for a long time, and now her fingers were a little red after playing for such a long time.

Only the ukelele’s sound was monotonous, and she hummed softly again.

Before she inexplicably became a friend of You Yu, she had no friends for a year or two. She was used to being alone. When she was alone, what she did most often was listen to songs and play with this little Urik.

Music could make her feel calm during long-term family quarrels. She had always relied on songs to avoid parental quarrels. When they quarreled loudly, she listened to the screaming song of the storm, and when she was upset, she listened to cheerful music. When singing and feeling calm, listen to those melodious melodies.

This year, her parents divorced, and only her father was left at home. The hysterical quarrel disappeared from her world, and she slowly let go of some of her previous habits.

In the past, she liked to wear headphones wherever she went, and it was not much worse not to mention listening to music all the time, but this year, the time listening to music was much less.

Picking up the ukulele now, and practicing singing again, was not to escape like before, but because she liked it.

What will she do in the future? Chi Tang occasionally thinks about this question. Before the summer vacation, she asked You Yu once, and You Yu replied: “I don’t know what I should do in the future, but do what I can or like.”

After You Yu finished talking, Chi Tang was a little confused, frowned, and asked, “What do you think I like?”

She was listening to a song, and You Yu smiled and clicked on her earphones with her hand, reaching her ear pinna with cool fingers.

“Don’t you like songs?” she said.

Chi Tang suddenly realized that she felt like a fool holding a key and looking for the key.

“What’s wrong with your fingers?” You Yu noticed the small band-aids on Chi Tang’s right fingers.

Chi Tang: “It was accidentally scratched.”

You Yu: “Then you have to be careful not to soak in the water.”

Chi Tang: “Oh.”

A few days later, the band-aids were gone again. Seeing You Yu staring at her fingers, Chi Tang opened her palm and leaned forward to scare her.

“Oh—”

You Yu tilted her head back and held her hand, and the clerk hat she was wearing fell back. She knelt and picked up her hat, saw Chi Tang learning outside the counter, smiled and shook her hands, and suddenly felt that her actions were a bit like a lucky cat.

You Yu’s aunt looked at them with a smile. She was used to the little desk mate, You Yu, who often came to patronize the business. When there were a few people, the two of them would play around like this, which was funny.

The summer vacation was said to be short or long, and it’s the end of August in the blink of an eye, and there were only a few days left before school.

Chi Tang’s birthday was at the end of August 25. Every year when it was her birthday, Chi Tang knew it was almost time to make up for her summer homework.

She knew that she knew, but she just didn’t want to do it. She always felt that facing the blank homework and the approaching school start date, not just games, but playing Urik and singing, had become more fun.

On the night of her birthday, You Yu knocked on Chi Tang’s door again.

Chi Tang had seen her coming from the window upstairs a long time ago, but when she opened the door and saw that she was holding a box in one hand and a bag in the other, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, because the box was a cake.

It was a relatively novel experience for Chi Tang to be given a cake on her birthday. She occasionally ate cakes when she was not on her birthday, but she never ate cakes on her birthday.

“Can I spend the night at your house?” said her desk mate who came to her for 

her birthday.

Chi Tang didn’t know what to say for a while, stood there, and stared at her for a while before he suddenly smiled, “I will not let you put down the gift and drive you away.”

He brought a friend who was celebrating her birthday into the room, and when she changed her slippers, Chi Tang still saw a bottle of pink champagne in the bag.

She raised her hand and pulled out the soft flower hidden in the paper bag. Seeing that there was a gift box in the paper bag, she became curious. You Yu also prepared a gift for her? What was it?

Thinking of You Yu’s style, who could only learn in normal times, Chi Tang couldn’t imagine what she would give her.
