"Master, do you know that I miss you very much? Your Ah Chong has grown into an adult."
Many nights, when I close my eyes, what appears is that kind of beautiful, gentle and cold smile...
My eighteenth birthday happened to be on a Sunday.
As early as a month ago, Tang Xinyu and Yao Nan had said that they would make the arrangements! This "coming of age ceremony" can never be simple.
Because Tang Xinyu's family bought a new villa in downtown Chongqing City in the middle of the year, and her parents didn't live there much, they planned to go directly to her villa to have a party.
It is said that a lot of people were invited... In addition to the three big animal roommates in my dormitory, there were also some of our common friends, as well as their respective best friends-the ones who are usually familiar with us.
But anyway, seeing how enthusiastic they were, I didn't bother to ask, so I just acted as the shopkeeper.
As for my friends in the spiritual world, I will gather with them in the stilted building in Ciqikou one day early on Saturday.
In addition to a few close colleagues from Xiuxing Company, there are also brothers Xiao Yuan, Niu Biniu Deheng, Hu Xiaoyue, Bai Suhuihui, Xiaosong...
That's right!
Bai Su and Huihui had moved from Luojiaopo outside Lianghe Town to Gele Mountain in Chongqing City more than half a year ago, and lived with the fat squirrel demon "Xiaosong".
It is said that they were very pleasant to get along with!
…
Early on Sunday morning, I was bombarded with calls from Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu.
"Sluggard, get up quickly! If you don't get up, I'll hit your head with [Blue Dragon Claw]." - This is Yao Nan, a violent woman.
"Wu Zhong, it's time to get up, right? We agreed to go to the mall to buy clothes first. But don't worry, Nannan and I can wait for you." - This is Tangtang, much gentler.
I saw that my three animal roommates were still sleeping, and I became very angry.
Before leaving, one person punched everyone and woke them all up.
"What are you doing?"
Duan Xinyu looked confused and dissatisfied.
"You got up and didn't let us sleep?"
Ou Xiaofeng glared at me.
I laughed.
"I can't help it. I was woken up by Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu's phone calls and had to go out. Brothers, we share the same responsibility."
After saying that, he quickly slipped away, and their angry roars could be heard behind him.
"Damn it Wu Zhong! Two beauties are crying and shouting to buy you new clothes for your birthday. You are the only one who enjoys this blessing. Just treat it as if you can't sleep in, right?"
As I ran, I whispered in my heart...
"You think I want to go?"
To be honest, I'm not a fool either.
I can certainly see what Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu are thinking.
But if people don’t make it clear, I can’t say anything unilaterally, right?
More importantly, I am really afraid of losing a good friend...
Growing up, my parents always said that the emotion between people is the most precious thing.
Okay, okay, then just pretend to be stupid!
No matter what they think, I treat them as good friends who grew up together. They are still young now. When they go to college or grow up and join the society, they may not be like this anymore.
When they arrived at the school gate, Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu were standing there chatting and laughing.
The sun was shining brightly, falling on their black hair, as if it was dyed with a faint golden light.
Full of youthful beauty!
People coming and going couldn't help but take a peek.
Seeing me coming, Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu both stopped talking and greeted me with a smile.
"Wu Zhong is back!"
"What did you do to my deskmate? I took you to buy clothes and made Tangtang and I wait for so long. How can any girl wait for a boy for so long?"
At this time, I noticed that the people around me, especially the students from No. 1 Middle School around me, were staring at me with resentful eyes.
I was a little embarrassed and scratched my head sheepishly.
"Sorry sorry."
My mother has taught me since I was a child that women are not very reasonable creatures, especially when they start to complain, they shut up quickly. Don't try to be reasonable!
Over the years, I have discovered that my mother is indeed a very wise woman...
"But my master is different. She is reasonable."
I thought silently in my heart.
I went to the mall with Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu, and I was at their mercy. After someone bought me a set of clothes, I took a taxi to Tang Xinyu's villa with satisfaction.
Several classmates with whom we usually have good relationships have already arranged the arrangements here. After we arrived, Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu also smiled and went over to help...
"I'm here to help you too!"
I said as I stepped forward, rolled up my sleeves and prepared to blow up the balloons.
However, Tang Xinyu stopped her and said with a smile.
"The birthday boy doesn't have to work today and go play on the side! There is a very high-end computer in the study next to it. I bought it newly and can play World of Warcraft."
"Yes, yes, the birthday person can't do anything today..."
"Wu Zhong, just play next to me."
"Uh, okay."
Seeing everyone saying this, I could only touch the tip of my nose helplessly and go play games nearby.
In the afternoon, more people came. The entire villa hall is also very beautifully decorated, with balloons, lanterns, and youthful and energetic classmates and friends...
Everyone was talking and laughing and having a good time.
Looking at this scene, I just felt warm in my heart and my nose was a little sore.
"This is life!"
Whether they are practitioners yesterday or ordinary classmates today, they are all my important friends!
Whether it is the dangerous supernatural world or the ordinary secular world, it is my real life!
By six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was here.
Tang Xinyu turned off the lights in the living room. The huge three-layer cake was filled with eighteen candles. The warm orange candlelight illuminated the outline of our faces softly.
Everyone sang happy birthday.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
I'm really happy.
"My tablemate, please make a wish quickly! We are waiting to eat cake and we are all hungry."
Yao Nan deliberately urged me anxiously.
Hahaha!
Everyone laughed.
I also smiled and closed my eyes and started to make a wish...
"I hope I can see my master soon. I hope I can become stronger quickly and be able to fight side by side with the master! Help her take revenge and share her worries."
After reciting it silently in my mind several times, I opened my eyes.
At first glance, I saw Tang Xinyu smiling naughtily at me and winking.
"Have you finished making your wish? Don't say it out loud. Your wish won't work if you say it out loud!"
I smiled and nodded.
"Cut the cake!"
Yao Nan shouted happily, holding a long plastic cake knife in his hand, and began to cut the cake.
With just a few knives, the cake was cut nicely and evenly.
Everyone applauded and said that Yao Nan was very good at cutting cakes...
Only I know that this little girl used the Bagua Knife technique when cutting the cake!
This makes me feel a little funny.
"A master of Anjin, it's fun to cut cakes with martial arts and win praise from everyone."
Everyone took the cake, said happy birthday to me, and then played, made trouble, and laughed together...
I came to Tang Xinyu's side, smiled and said softly.
"Tangtang, thank you."
She had a nice smile.
"as long as you are happy."
Unexpectedly, when we were playing until about ten o'clock in the evening, an accident happened!
