On the 24th, at 7 o'clock in the morning, my mother called Xuezhu to make her a bowl of birthday noodles with eggs.

My father was busy rushing to the unit today. Before leaving, he hurriedly said Happy Birthday to Xuezhu.

Compared to office workers, Xuezhu, which is still a primary school student, is obviously much more leisurely. She has finished eating slowly before she is ready to leave for school.

"Dad ordered a birthday cake for you," Song Yanping said while packing the bowls, "Don't eat too many snacks at school today, and I can't eat the cake when I get home in the afternoon."

Xuezhu said: "I agreed with Brother Ningning that he would take me to KFC first after school in the afternoon."

"I know, Ningning told me in advance. You can't spend my brother's money indiscriminately. Don't think about ordering anything you see. Eat less. KFC's food is fried. Eating too much is not good for your health."

"Oh," Xuezhu stood by the shoe cabinet to change her shoes, put it on, kicked on the floor, "I'm leaving."

"Well, go quickly." Song Yanping said without looking back.

Xuezhu muttered, "Mom, why didn't you tell me happy birthday?"

"Oh, you still care about this formalism, and you have done it for you," Song Yanping had no choice but to laugh and cry, "Happy birthday, okay?"

"It's so perfunctory, I have no sincerity." Xue Zhu was dissatisfied.

Song Yanping almost laughed to death and half threatened: "Why do you have so many requests? Why don't you leave quickly? Want to be scolded by the teacher when you are late?"

"Let's go."

Xuezhu pulled her schoolbag and ran downstairs.

Maybe because today is her birthday, the air on the way to school smells particularly fresh, and the surrounding scenery is brighter than usual.

The morning reading teaching building is full of books and the children's voices are crisp, which is brighter than the birds living among the trees beside the building.

Xuezhu just walked into the classroom and put down her schoolbag. Zhu Qingying immediately ran over and handed her a beautiful small box and a birthday card, grinning and laughing: "Xiaozhu, I wish you a happy birthday!"

"Thanks."

She took it happily.

Several other girls with Xue Zhu also came to give gifts, and those with a slightly more ordinary relationship also gave birthday cards.

These are all tacit agreements that girls agree with each other. As long as they are not homosexuals with bad relationships, Xuezhu will send greeting cards on their birthdays, so that anyone can receive many greeting cards on their birthdays, creating a phenomenon of good popularity.

Zhu Qingying’s greeting card is the most attentive. Not only will it automatically play the birthday song when it is opened, but she also uses colored brushes to draw beautiful love in the inner page.

The little girl wrote in square words.

"Happy birthday to my best friend Pei Xuezhu! Happy every day! Everything goes well!"

Below are two little girls wearing princess dresses and crowns that she drew, holding hands. Needless to mention Xue Zhu, she knew that the painting was her and Zhu Qingying.

Xue Zhu looked at the greeting cards one by one. Although many of them were greeting cards that were exchanged, the blessings written carefully on them were all true.

She couldn't help but be happy. Although she would come to school for her birthday, it was also good to receive birthday cards from her classmates.

The morning reading class ended, and the first part was Chinese class. She hurriedly put gifts and greeting cards into her desk.

"Pei Xuezhu."

Suddenly someone poked her from behind.

Pei Xuezhu turned around and the girl at the back table whispered: "Chi Yue asked me to pass it to you."

She looked down and saw a Minnie doll wearing a red bow.

Before he could take it, he was caught by the hawkish Chinese teacher and said, "Pei Xuezhu, Xu Mengyi, what are you doing below?"

Compared to Xuezhu, who was calm, another girl named Xu Mengyi was obviously not so good in her psychological quality, so she immediately betrayed Chi Yue: "The teacher is not my business, it was Chi Yue who asked me to give the doll to Pei Xuezhu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the class immediately became lively, and the sounds of cheering came one after another.

Xue Zhu's brain exploded and instantly heated from the soles of her feet to her face.

"It's quiet and still in class. I want the principal to hear the noisiest thing in our class, right?" The Chinese teacher coughed a few times, and his tone was serious. "I understand that the students are about to graduate and I can't bear to give each other a small gift, but now it's class time, so I have to wait until the get out of class is over, do you know?"

Xuezhu's hand was huddled under the desk, so embarrassed that she couldn't speak.

Chi Yue, who sat far away, was lazy to admit his mistake: "Teacher, I'm sorry."

"I won't confiscate the things, Pei Xuezhu quickly packs them up and concentrates on class."

After the Chinese teacher gave instructing her, she turned around and continued to write on the blackboard. She smiled slightly at the corner of her lips, and snorted in a voice that the students in the podium could not hear: "These are young kids..."

When get out of class ended, a buzzer immediately surrounded Xuezhu's desk, and the 800-year-old scandal between her and Chi Yue was once again raised.

"Pei Xuezhu, are you and Chi Yue really a couple?"

"I'll have an interview. When did you guys get together?"

The annoying question made Xue Zhu feel disgusted. She ignored these boring boys with a cold face. Zhu Qingying rudely pushed away the boys around Xue Zhu and took her away domineeringly.

"Don't pay attention to them, let's go out for fun."

Xuezhu immediately flattened her mouth and looked at Zhu Qingying pitifully.

Today, she encountered such a thing on her birthday. She was so unlucky.

It’s all because Chi Yue is not given away morning reading classes when you have to take Chinese classes.

No, he shouldn't have given it.

They are not friends, he is simply full and has nothing to do.

However, compared to the fourth grade, Xue Zhu, who was in the sixth grade, was obviously much more mature in dealing with the scandal, and she did not argue with them. The more excited the parties involved in this scandal, the more enthusiastic the more enthusiasts became. Everyone dared not make trouble during class. After class, she slipped out with Zhu Qingying and was not upset, and spent a day safely.

Until the afternoon after school, Xuezhu did not go home with Zhu Qingying, but chose to sit on the desk to do homework.

The classmate on duty asked her why she hadn't come home yet, and Xuezhu said someone would come to pick her up later.

She made an appointment with Meng Yuning, and then went to the school gate to wait for him to come.

After staying in the classroom for more than ten minutes, Xuezhu put all the gifts and greeting cards he received today into her schoolbag, and was about to leave on her round back.

When passing by the playground, the noisy sounds of the boys cut through the evening dusk.

Several boys in Xuezhu's class have not returned home yet and are playing football on the playground.

I don’t know who saw Xuezhu first, and shouted in the direction of her: “Sister-in-law Chi! Come and see your husband play football!”

“…”

The soccer ball was kicked to Xue Zhu's feet, deviating from its original route.

"Sister-in-law Chi helps pick up the ball!"

It would be strange if she could pick up balls.

Xuezhu ignored it, and everyone started to make a fuss, Chi Yue ran towards her with sweat on his head.

"That Minnie doll was bought for me when I went to Hong Kong Disneyland," he picked up the pill, without looking at her, and said quickly, "It's not suitable for me to wear a skirt and a bow, so I'll give it to you."

Even though he said it casually, it cannot be denied that it is indeed a good birthday gift.

Xuezhu said: "... Then why didn't you give it to me when you were in early class? I was scolded by the teacher."

"You are surrounded by girls in the morning reading class. Am I squeezed in?" Chi Yue rolled his eyes and grabbed his head and said impatiently, "Who knows Xu Mengyi will betray me."

"Oh," Xuezhu sighed. He was not willing to do the rumor of the scandal. "Forget it, thank you. When will you celebrate your birthday?"

Xue Zhu still understands this truth when it comes to rituals.

"August 21st," Chi Yue asked, "You want to give me a gift?"

"I can't accept you unilaterally," Xuezhu thought for a while and said, "You Minnie was bought in Hong Kong. When I go to Beijing to watch the Olympics during the summer vacation, I will buy a Fuwa in Beijing for you as a birthday gift."

Chi Yue's father will also take him to Beijing to play during the summer vacation.

The little boy didn't say this and nodded: "Oh, then that's it. Don't forget it then."

"Um."

After making an agreement, Xuezhu looked at the school gate involuntarily, thinking that Meng Yuning should come to pick her up at this time.

"What are you looking at?"

Chi Yue asked in the last second, and the next second he knew what she was looking at.

Perhaps because I didn’t see Xuezhu at the school gate, Meng Yuning walked in along the road and looked for her.

The tall boy stood in front of them and smiled at Xuezhu and said, "I waited for a few minutes but didn't see you coming out, and I thought you were left in the church."

Xuezhu immediately said, "How is it possible? I never make mistakes."

Meng Yuning turned his head and looked at Chi Yue. The last time he met was two years ago. At that time, Meng Yuning had not yet grown so tall. At first glance, she still looked like a young brother. Chi Yue thought to himself why, only two years ago, the brother Xue Zhu suddenly became an adult.

At the same time, in Meng Yuning's heart, Xiaozhu's classmate was still a naughty child two years ago, but became taller and thinner two years later. He had a long haircut and cut a refreshing hairstyle. Like Xuezhu, he went from a child to a teenager.

"Hello," Meng Yuning said in a gentle tone, "I remember you are Xiaozhu's classmate. Is your name Chi Yue right?"

Chi Yue was stunned: "Yes, how do you know what my name is?"

"I heard Xiaozhu mention you." Meng Yuning said.

"Tell me?"

Chi Yue looked at Xue Zhu with uncertainty.
