June is our farewell song

Chapter 236 Gifts
"call--"

"I'm so tired..."

Standing in the gusts of evening wind, Gu Yuan, who felt his legs were about to tremble, sat down on a bench by the side of the commercial street.

After coming out of school, he went shopping until the moon was in the sky. He and Qi Yu walked along this street and went to more than a dozen stores, but they were just doing pure physical exertion and found nothing.

"I'm also very tired." Qi Yu also sat down beside him, "Oh... I don't know what to give at all."

To the left of the bench is a trash can, and to the right is a small square flower bed filled with unknown flowers that can bloom in autumn. Behind it is a 24-hour KFC with bright lights, but there are not many people inside.In the nearby coffee shop, the clerks had already started clearing the tables and chairs and preparing to close.

Sitting on the bench, the two sighed almost at the same time.

"Why is there a birthday gift?" Gu Yuan opened the bag and flipped through it. He didn't take out anything or put anything in. He just opened the zipper and reached in to touch it a few times. "It wasn't a particularly memorable day at all. , In the ancient history books, birthdays are also called the day when the father worries about the mother's death, and it is the day of the mother's death."

"What are you talking about, the birthday is to be happy, it's the day when you get your life."

"Although everyone will say happy birthday to each other, I always feel like a consumption trap set up by those unscrupulous merchants." Gu Yuan took out a book from his bag and took it out to see that it was a physics competition exercise booklet. He hesitated for a while whether to put it back, his arm was just frozen in the air, "There is no one day that people must be happy, and there is no one day that must be happy, even if they know that the other party is very difficult to be happy. You must also say happy birthday, happy new year, etc., which are meaningless wishes."

"Huh? You mean Sisi won't be happy on her birthday?"

"No, I just said it casually." Gu Yuan thought for a while, and threw the exercise book into the trash can next to him, "Everyone has a reason to be happy and a reason to be unhappy. How do you feel every day? It depends on which side has the upper hand.”

"Hey! Why did you throw the book away?"

"It's useless anyway."

"you really……"

"What's wrong with me?"

"My mouth is full of nonsense, hum, it's really troublesome to pick out gifts with you." Qi Yu turned around, folded his hands on his chest, lowered his head and pouted, looking a little angry, "I can't do this or that, and I can't do it myself. Can't fault anything."

"……It's not my business."

"Because you said that the things I chose are not suitable."

"That's because it's not suitable..." Gu Yuan gave her a white look, "It's like earrings, bracelets and necklaces, how could Qing Si wear them to school? Have you seen them on her in the past two years?" Have you ever been to any jewelry? Besides, the ruby ​​earring you like, obviously you want it yourself, it doesn't suit her at all. "

"Why is it not suitable for her?"

"Her color is blue, so you should be red." Gu Yuan raised his head and looked at the starry night sky, "Besides, she didn't even have her ears pierced, although I think people like Uncle Liu should also I don't care too much... But Qing Si doesn't give the impression that she is a girl who is very concerned about this aspect."

"And that pair of sunglasses, don't they match her well?"

"...There's nothing inappropriate about that, it's just that I simply don't like it."

"Hmph, since I can't give any constructive suggestions, I'm still pointing fingers here,"

"You didn't agree with any of the things I wanted to buy."

"She won't be interested in your things at all!"

"What's the matter, even if the jersey is not good, what's wrong with those plush toys?"

"You mean the doll whose head looks like a pineapple? That's too ugly."

"...I think it's okay."

——Actually, it's really ugly, but Qing Si really likes pineapples.

"Oh, forget it, I won't discuss this with you, these stores will be closed any later, so think about what to give."

"Hmm..." Gu Yuan leaned forward with his upper body, propped his elbows on his legs, held his chin with his wrists, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Mmm..."

"puff--"

"Why... why are you laughing?"

Before he could think quietly for a long time, just a few seconds later, Qi Yu looked at his side face with a pensive expression, and let out a small laugh.

"It's nothing, I just feel that although you said that you don't need to give gifts and look reluctant, you are actually quite attentive."

"...I'm going to say what I said during the day again." Gu Yuan glanced at him, "Are you still angry because your birthday was so careless?"

"Cut, how is it possible, am I that kind of stingy person?" Qi Yu tilted his head and said, "Besides, when I gave you a birthday present, I was quite casual, and I didn't think about it for so long. "

"Although I don't really care, why does it sound a little uncomfortable?"

"Anyway, it's not that I don't know what you like, so I don't need to think about it at all."

"But when you gave Ziqiu a birthday present last time, you struggled for a whole week." Gu Yuan re-zipped the schoolbag and hung up a shoulder strap, "Finally forced me to take you there." In the old street, I found a video store that specializes in second-hand goods to buy antique CDs, don’t you know what he likes?”

"..."

In the gentle evening wind, Gu Yuan found that Qi Yu became very quiet, with fluttering black hair, the ends of which covered the side face, not at all like that careless, grumpy, bullying girl.

"It's not that I don't know what he likes... It's just that it's really hard to choose a gift for him."

After a while, Qi Yu said something softly.

"Why?" Gu Yuan asked.

"Because his family... Oh, why am I telling you this? Anyway, the most important thing now is to choose a gift for Sisi, not to listen to gossip." Qi Yu changed his expression, turned his head, and said to Gu Yuan , "Why do you look at me like that, don't fall in love with me, let me tell you, I already have someone I like."

"Tch, it's as if I don't have one." Gu Yuan rolled her eyes, "If you have the time to joke around, why don't you think about what to give. In other words, why did you drag me instead of him? ?”

"..."

Not answered.

Realized that I was asking the wrong question, but didn't know how to fix it.Gu Yuan could only sit there in embarrassment, rubbing his hands gently.

"sorry."

"It's okay... He and I have a lot of things that we can't talk about."

"can not say it clearly?"

Gu Yuan looked at her side face against the moonlight, but Qi Yu turned his face to the other side after realizing it.

"If you don't know it, you can't explain it! Asking and asking..."

"Don't get angry... I'm talking too much..."

"No—I didn't get angry. It's just that I'm not in a good mood because I'm a bit cold, and I'm hungry because I haven't eaten dinner. Besides, it's so late, and we haven't bought anything yet."

"But you..."

Qi Yu's irritability seemed to only last for a short moment, and in the next second, her expression eased down.

"It's nothing. If you want to know, I will tell you slowly when I have a chance in the future."

Gu Yuan didn't know what to say, so he could only look at her quietly.

"Oh, okay, you go to a few stores over there and have a look. I'll go here and try to get it done within 10 minutes. If it doesn't work, you can just choose that ugly doll. That's fine, go quickly. "

"……it is good."

Just hit the bad luck, Gu Yuan did not dare to disobey Miss Qi, nodded, obediently raised his footsteps towards the other side of the street.

"Um--"

Seeing Gu Yuan walk into a shop not far away, Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"This guy... doesn't know what this birthday means at all... But even if it's really that pineapple-headed doll, Sisi will be very happy."

"But...how on earth should I tell her..."

Qi Yu spoke softly, casting his wandering eyes on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the shop beside him.

The self in the mirror has put away the smile that always hangs on his face, the corners of his eyes and mouth are no longer slightly upturned, but become straight, and the thin coat is tightly attached to his body, like a fallen leaf Wrapped in a stubborn stone.

"hiss--"

She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, pulled the coat on her body, and wrapped it tighter.

It always feels colder tonight than the weather forecast said.

Autumn...does it get cold so fast?
Or……

Winter is coming?
