MTL - Long Time Loved Friend-Chapter 3 birthday wishes

After getting into the car, Yun Zhi didn't say much, sitting in the passenger seat and looking down at the photo album in his hand, the speed of the car was very slow, and occasionally Nan Qiao would say a few words about the past two days, and the two agreed tacitly. Didn't talk about seeing the exhibition.

Halfway through the journey, Yun Zhi received a call from her friend Jiang Yuan'an, asking how long it would take for her to arrive.

Yun Zhi looked at the map and replied, "There is still half an hour."

"Okay, me and... are waiting for you at home, happy birthday to you!"

After hanging up the phone, Yun Zhi looked up at the front window where the wipers were constantly running, and asked aloud, "Are they fighting again?"

"Well, we've been arguing for two days," Nan Qiao replied, and then glanced at her in the rearview mirror, "The reason is similar to before."

Jiang Yuan'an and Zhu Qingmeng are mutual friends of Yunzhi Nanqiao. They met in high school and now, they have been together for ten years. During these ten years, they had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every week. They separated and reunited hundreds of times .

It was always Jiang Yuan'an who made troubles with Zhu Qingmeng, and finally the two reconciled within a few days, and the cycle went on and on. Yun Zhi and Nan Qiao were used to the quarrel and breakup between the two from time to time.

After all, they will reconcile in a few days, so neither of them will get involved in this matter.

"I know, who is that woman you just mentioned?" Nan Qiao asked while holding the steering wheel.

The camera happened to turn to the photo of Yu Mingxia, Yun Zhi paused, not sure if it was because of the angle, but she found that Yu Mingxia's gaze was focused on the camera in the photo.

Yun Zhi watched carefully, didn't pay attention to Nan Qiao's words, and replied casually: "She was beside me before you came, didn't you see?"

"No, you were the only one when I saw you." Nan Qiao replied simply.

Yun Zhi slowly turned his head to look at her, wondering: "You should have seen a figure at some point, right?"

"I didn't see it." Nan Qiao thought she was changing the subject, she exerted some force on the steering wheel, and her fingertips turned white.

"It's so scary." Yunzhi looked down at the crushed ice blue in her arms, touched the petals, the soft touch brought her back to her thoughts, and whispered, "That's because you didn't pay attention."

Nan Qiao pursed her lips, and turned her head to look at Yun Zhi who was stroking the petals with her head down. Seeing that she had a gentle expression, as if she was meditating on something, it was not difficult to think that the bouquet was given by the woman she was talking about.

"Is it your fan?"

"No, it's just a chance encounter."

"When we meet by chance, can she give you flowers?"

Nan Qiao's tone was not good when he said this, and even questioned and puzzled.

Yun Zhi was a little froze, and looked up at Nan Qiao, who was a little out of control, but saw her turn her face to the side.

"brush-"

The car stopped suddenly, Nan Qiao opened the door and walked out.

The rain outside the window was much lighter, but there was still drizzle in the sky. From the rearview mirror, Nan Qiao could be seen opening the trunk.

Just when Yunzhi was about to get out of the car to help her open the umbrella, he heard a bang and the trunk was closed.

Not long after, the car door was opened again, and Nan Qiao was seen holding a bunch of fiery red roses in his arms, got into the driver's seat, and handed the flowers to Yun Zhi.

"Here, Huahua." Nan Qiao stared at her closely. Seeing her staring at Huahua, she said again, "I just wanted to give it to you when the time came. Congratulations on your successful development, and happy birthday to you."

The rain has become much lighter. It stands to reason that the sound of falling on the car shouldn't be so loud, but when Nan Qiao said these words, Yun Zhi felt that the rain seemed to be dripping on her ears.

The sound was so heavy that it seemed to hit the heart.

Yun Zhi raised his hand and took the flowers from her arms. A card was placed in the middle of the bouquet, which forced Yun Zhi to free his other hand to take the card.

It was also at this time that Nan Qiao took the crushed ice blue from her hand, lowered the car window, and murmured, "It's not as beautiful as my flowers."

Looking at her movements, Yun Zhi seemed to have guessed what she wanted to do next, the card she just took slipped from her hand, she raised her hand to stop it: "Give it back to me."

Nan Qiao paused, and slowly turned her head to look at her: "But you already have the flowers I sent you."

"Then put it in the back seat, you can't throw it anyway." Yun Zhi's desire to read the card has faded, and now he only looks at the flower that Nan Qiao snatched.

"why?"

Nan Qiao was already good-looking, but being stared at by her in the small car space, Yun Zhi was a little upset, unwilling to look at her again, and asked her, "Then why are you?"

She probably didn't expect that Yun Zhi would suddenly ask her back, but Nan Qiao was stunned for a while before answering: "Why why?"

"This has gone beyond the scope of friends. Whoever I contact and who sends me flowers are all my business," Yun Zhi heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and turned his head to look at her expression, but saw the other party pursed tightly. He stared at her without saying a word, and then said, "If I really fall in love, shouldn't you bless me as a friend? After all, I gave you a gift when you were in love before."

"Yunzhi."

Yun Zhi lowered his eyes to look at his wrist, his fair skin was now flushed by Nan Qiao's grip, one can imagine the strength of the other party.

The car was quiet, but Yunzhi seemed to hear the sound of the hour hand, tick-tock, every minute and every second.

At last the sound of a bell broke the silence.

The strength of the wrist gradually dissipated, and finally only a red mark remained. Yun Zhi put the flowers on his lap, and gently stroked his wrist with the other hand. Hearing Nan Qiao answering the phone, Yun Zhi turned his head and looked out the window.

She understood that she was just looking forward to it.

As in past years, expect Namjo to be able to tell her that affection for her isn't affection for a friend.

It's a pity that in this matter, her expectations can only be expectations after all.

Maybe she shouldn't have thought this way in the first place.

Having been friends with Nan Qiao for so many years, Yun Zhi didn't like her from the very beginning, but in the third year of high school, she had an accident and suffered both psychological and physical blows. It was Nan Qiao who told her To stand up and let her pick up her dream again. At that moment her feelings changed.

When people have desires, it is easy to be uneasy about the status quo. Perhaps for Nan Qiao, her liking is also a kind of trouble.

"We'll be there in ten minutes."

Nan Qiao finally hung up the phone, and the car fell into silence again.

"I'm sorry, Zhizhi. I really lost control just now. You are right. Friends should bless each other. I am also afraid that you will be deceived too innocently. I want to help you take a look."

Nan Qiao had recovered from the loss of control just now, she had a sincere expression when she said this, and she smiled after she finished speaking.

Not to mention being sad, after all, some things have been experienced many times, and they are used to it.

"Sometimes I feel..."

Yun Zhi didn't continue to talk, she lowered her eyes, held back the soreness in her eyes, and before Nan Qiao restarted the car, she spread her hands towards her and said, "Give me the flowers."

Nan Qiao handed her the flowers in response, and remained silent for a while, but did not say any comforting words, but restarted the car.

Yun Zhi tilted her head to look out of the window, her blurred face was reflected on the glass window covered with mist and rain.

Sometimes I think you like me, your encouragement when I lose my nerve, your care when I'm sick, the possessiveness and loss of control in your eyes when I talk about others.

But Yun Zhi knew that even if she told Nan Qiao what she said, all she got in return was "Because we are good friends."

Yun Zhi doesn't quite understand, do friends also have such a strong possessive desire? Strong enough to drive away everyone she mentioned having a crush on.

It was already half an hour after the car arrived downstairs at Yun Zhi's house, and Jiang Yuan'an and Zhu Qingmeng had already been waiting at her house for a long time.

As soon as Yunzhi opened the door, the colored ribbons fell on her body. Balloons and colored ribbons were already hung on the wall of the living room, and there was a word spelled out of balloons in the center—Happy Birthday, Yunzhi.

"Happy birthday! Happy 27th birthday to my dear Zhizhi!" Jiang Yuan'an walked up to Yunzhi step by step with a cake in his hand.

Yun Zhi smiled, put the flowers in his hand on the porch beside him, and went to pick up the cake in Jiang Yuan'an's hand: "Thank you An'an, thank you Qingmeng."

Zhu Qingmeng, who had been standing aside without saying a word, replied after hearing the words: "Happy birthday, An An made you dinner."

"An An made it?" Yun Zhi was surprised for a moment, after all, Jiang Yuanan's cooking skills are well known to everyone.

"I did what she ordered." Zhu Qingmeng said with a slight smile.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan'an pouted and whispered, "I didn't do it, don't try to please me like this."

As soon as Yun Zhi saw the scene, he knew that Jiang Yuan'an had a bad temper this time, and Zhu Qingmeng couldn't solve it with a single dinner.

"Share one wish for you, one for each of you." Yun Zhi put the cake back on the dining table, looked at them and said.

From the time the four of them realized it, almost every birthday would be like this, and the original three birthday wishes were abruptly changed into four wishes by them.

"Zhizhi, your cake is really effective. Every year, my wish to borrow from you has come true," Jiang Yuan'an clasped his hands together, shaking his head with the ball head, very cute.

Zhu Qingmeng glanced at her and asked, "What wish do you make this year?"

"I want to make a wish to let you stay away from me." Jiang Yuanan blurted out hurtful words before he lost his temper.

Zhu Qingmeng really calmed down when she heard the words, and after a few seconds, she said again: "Really?"

Seeing that the conflict between the two was about to deepen again, Yun Zhi quickly smoothed things over: "An'an always likes to talk irony, and I definitely don't mean it in my heart."

Jiang Yuan'an was about to say something, but Yun Zhi covered his mouth, and finally stomped his feet angrily.

"Thinking about your birthday cake is indeed very effective, and the wish I made last year has also come true." Zhu Qingmeng changed the subject and said suddenly.

"What wish did you make last year?" Jiang Yuan'an forgot the bad remarks he had just made with Zhu Qingmeng, and leaned forward to ask.

"I hope you don't win the Dancer Gold Award." Zhu Qingmeng took advantage of her and grabbed her ball head.

"Cut, I clearly take... Huh, you're talking ironically." Jiang Yuan'an reacted and stared at Zhu Qingmeng with a smile on his face.

"Did the wish you made last year come true?" Yun Zhi looked at the two people who were fighting, and looked at Nan Qiao who was silent at the side.

Nan Qiao nodded when he heard the words: "It has been realized."

"I know, I know, did your wish come true?" Jiang Yuanan's question focused the eyes of several people on her.

"Hmm...Maybe my wish is too much and it hasn't come true yet."

"What wish?"

"Get rich and beautiful?"

"Cut, how rich are you? You're only a little poorer than the Song family. You're not satisfied with being so beautiful!" Jiang Yuanan wanted to pinch Yunzhi's face as he spoke, but was stopped by Zhu Qingmeng, and he vomited helplessly. Tongue sticking out, "There are only three birthday wishes, and fulfilling three wishes is already very powerful. You still have a bit of metaphysics on your birthday."

Yun Zhi nodded upon hearing the words, lit the candle, and said to the others, "Come on, let's make a wish."

"If only three of the four wishes can come true, then we are still competitors, and I have to make a wish quickly." Jiang Yuanan made the three people beside him dumbfounded.

When the candle was halfway burning, Yunzhi turned his head and glanced at Nan Qiao who had already closed his eyes and made a wish, and then slowly closed his eyes, sighing slightly in his heart. If the wish cannot be fulfilled, then change it. Self-centered.

—I hope that this year I can no longer like Nan Qiao and love others again.

By the time she finished making the wish in her heart, the candle had already burned out, and it was too late for her to regret and want to revoke the wish.

Yun Zhi looked at the few people who had already started to play with the cake, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips gradually relaxed.

It would be great if a wish could come true.
