Chapter 55 Happy Adulthood
Bai Mang followed Jiang Chuanyao to a place nine miles away from Ronghu Lake.

In the suburbs a certain distance from Lan City, the environment looks like a scenic spot, surrounded by a large and clear lake, it is a chic and simple courtyard-style house.

The eaves are undulating, looking horizontally as ridges and sideways as peaks.

Bai Mang doesn't like things that are too unexpected. Going to an unknown place for dinner is not only dangerous for her wallet, but also full of unknowns.

Just like how Jiang Chuanyao felt towards her.She likes clear things and clear people.Jiang Chuanyao seemed to hide a hundred secrets in his body, and so did his whole body.Mixed together, it is difficult to judge.

The car was parked in front of a yard.

Jiang Chuanyao got out of the car and looked around the house.

"That's it."

Bai Mang also looked at the wooden signboard on the wall, which said "Qiuya B&B".

Turning her face away, she looked at Jiang Chuanyao directly and clearly, and she explained: "My upper limit is [-] per capita, which is more than what you pay yourself."

Jiang Chuanyao snorted.

A light and serious answer.

After a while, he smiled at her: "It shouldn't be too late."

His figure is refreshing, blending harmoniously into the night.The scenery on the opposite side has the momentum of starry sky, wild fields, moon surge and great river flow.

The surface of the lake is clear and clear, and the shadow of the moon is heavy.
-
Jiang Chuanyao's tone is clear and affirmative, and there are naturally reasons.

An old couple who seem to be in their early 60s run this Qiuya B&B. The old aunt inside saw Jiang Chuanyao smiling like an acquaintance, and even smiled at Baimang.

But he said very little, and after only a few words, he went to the kitchen to prepare.

The house has no guests today.

Jiang Chuanyao took her to the rooftop on the second floor, where there were two or three tables, and he found the one with the best view.Bai Mang walked across to him and sat down.

"The car fare may not be as expensive as today's meal." She said.

"I'll pay the fare." Jiang Chuanyao replied to her, showing a little connivance inadvertently.

Bai Mang is not the character of splashing cold water, Jiang Chuanyao deliberately took her all the way to have a meal, and saw such a magnificent night scene, it happened to be his birthday today.Blink and enjoy it comfortably.

Resting his chin with one hand, he asked Jiang Chuanyao, "What does the boss have to do with you?"

"The boss' wife used to be the Jiang family's nanny, and when they got older, they came here to open a shop together to make a living."

Jiang Chuanyao was referring to the Jiang family, not his family.

Bai Mang: "You and your aunt should have a good relationship before."

"It's okay, I know her as long as I can remember." Jiang Chuanyao put his hands on the table and wrote something comfortable on his face, "So it won't exceed the budget. If it exceeds, I just need to explain the situation, and the boss will come to see me. It's not easy, give us a little cheaper."

Bai Mang shook his head: "Forget it, it's not easy for them to do business."

The son of the Jiang family can say such down-to-earth words.Bai Mang felt that there were always some traces on Jiang Chuanyao's body, and he might have suffered when he was a child.

... I don't know what the pain is.

The boss and his wife began to serve her dishes, boiled a cup of fine porridge, paired with a small pot of autumn health and nourishment, refreshing side dishes, and stir-fried lake fresh.

Bai Mang ate with relish.

Having a good dinner, she liked Jiang Chuanyao's appearance.

"It should be almost there."

"There is one last thing."

Bai Mang looked at Jiang Chuanyao, seeing his eyes falling into the thick night, he seemed a little lonely.

The last thing that came up was——

A bowl of longevity noodles.

It looks like the longevity noodles made by the family, two poached eggs, and greasy minced meat and vegetables on top of the thin noodles.

"I've seen your ID card, today is your birthday. Eat a bowl of birthday noodles and have a simple life." Jiang Chuanyao said.

His voice was clear and tired, with an imperceptible kindness.

There is no flattery, just expressing your kindness.

It's just that she needs a bad boy to be kind to her?

For a moment, Baimang almost felt that Jiang Chuanyao was pitying herself, that no one celebrated her birthday today.

Jiang Chuanyao took her bowl and sandwiched noodles for her with chopsticks.

He put two poached eggs in her bowl and said, "You don't have to eat the noodles, you have to eat both eggs."

Bai Mang watched Jiang Chuanyao's movements silently, staring straight at him without saying a word.

If she didn't realize that Jiang Chuanyao specially brought her here to celebrate her birthday before, she can still feel his arrangement today.

Moving?

Still sad?

There was a little wind in my heart, and it turned and disappeared, like a stone thrown into a lake, and only at the moment when the calm was broken, the waves suddenly rose.

Jiang Chuanyao handed her a small bowl of noodles.

"Thank you," she said.

Jiang Chuanyao leaned lightly on the back of the chair: "I also spent my birthday here."

Bai Mang raised his head and answered: "Then your relationship with your family is not normal."

Jiang Chuanyao didn't deny it: "It's very abnormal."

Bai Mang: "Is it your own?"

Jiang Chuanyao suddenly smiled and looked at her: "Maybe, no."

It was obviously a joke, Bai Mang was naturally funny, but she was not too embarrassed to laugh out, she paused, and she replied: "I am biological, I look very similar to my mother."

Jiang Chuanyao asked, "What's your mother like?"

Bai Mang complained: "It's nothing, a very ugly woman."

Jiang Chuanyao: "Ding Jingkai is really your biological father?"

Bai Mang squeezed out a smile, and his tone was very relaxed: "They said yes, that's it."

Jiang Chuanyao: "It seems that your family... is not normal either."

Bai Mang retorted: "So what, I grew up normally."

The two talked so much, it has surpassed the relationship where the two are not even friends.Bai Mang thought for a while, then held up a can of Coke next to him, and said to the person opposite, "You are kind enough to celebrate my birthday, so please wish me a happy birthday and a long life."

Jiang Chuanyao smiled, raised his water glass, and touched her Coke: "Happy birthday, long life."

The night wind blew on the two young faces, almost blowing away the hostility and arrogance, leaving only tenderness and a touch of emotion.

Bai Mang's understanding of birthdays is very simple, there must be a cake, blow out candles, and make a wish.Like Xinzi's birthday that day, it was lively and lively.But she has memories, from childhood to adulthood, she only spent her birthday at her grandmother's house for two years.

Just like this, simply eat a bowl of birthday noodles.

She has never had a specially arranged birthday full of blessings from others.Buying a birthday cake was a very troublesome request for Bai Hui. When she was a child, she didn't dare to mention it to Bai Hui, but when she grew up, she was too embarrassed to bother herself with her birthday.

She didn't even tell Fang Zixin today.

She is still not quite used to it, and she has already made friends.

"If you prepare another cake today, Jiang Chuanyao, I'll treat you as a friend for the rest of my life." Bai Mang said big things to Jiang Chuanyao.

"It's a pity that I missed the opportunity to be friends with you again." Jiang Chuanyao laughed softly, "I didn't prepare any cake."

Baimang smiled, his eyes curved, as if falling into the vastness of stars, and he spoke seriously: "It's okay, I'm already very touched, you are better than my mother."

Jiang Chuanyao: "It's an honor to be compared like this by you."

Bai Mang frowned, pretending to be affectionate again, and asked: "Don't you really want to chase me?"

Jiang Chuanyao shook his head, looked at her and said, "I just want to be friends with you..."

Bai Mang: "Aren't you lying?"

Jiang Chuanyao: "Being your boyfriend may not be the next month. But my friend, my requirement for a friend is for a lifetime. I think you are the same."

"Being my friend is better than my girlfriend."

Clear and honest words, but also some serious and practical considerations.

"Then we... are friends today." Bai Mang raised the Coke and clinked glasses with Jiang Chuanyao again.

"Ah."

The water glass and Coke collided for the second time.

Bai Mang raised his eyes and asked, "Jiang Chuanyao, why do you want to be my friend?"

Jiang Chuanyao praised: "I think you are interesting, energetic, fun and special, rare and just, you have many qualities that I admire."

"Really?"

"It's all true."

"...Is there any more?" Bai Mang was a little greedy, and wanted to be praised more.

Jiang Chuanyao looked at her: "There is also a thought in my heart... I think you need friends."

I need friends more than boyfriends.So, he was her friend first, not her boyfriend.

Bai Mang lowered his head, showing a rare emotion on his face, and said coolly: "Thank you for your appreciation."

Of course, I was a little moved in my heart. Jiang Chuanyao not only admired her, but also deliberately set up a situation just to be her friend.

Jiang Chuanyao's eyes wandered: "In the future, there will be many people who appreciate you, and there will be many people who want to be your friends."

Bai Mang let out a hey, looked at Jiang Chuanyao, and inadvertently bumped into his dark eyes.

Jiang Chuanyao took out a plastic lighter from his pocket.Holding the lighter, he gently stretched out his hand in the air——

"Kacha", a cluster of faint blue flames appeared from the lighter.

A small cluster of light blue flames swayed against the night wind.

"make a wish."

Bai Mang let out an oh, it was the first time he felt such a sense of ritual.She pressed her hands on the dining table, leaned over, faced Jiang Chuanyao, and blew lightly on the flame on the lighter.

The small flame that fell in Jiang Chuanyao's eyes was extinguished.

"Baimang, I still have a gift for you." Jiang Chuanyao said to her suddenly, "Look up at the sky."

And presents...

what gift?
Bai Mang didn't react and looked up into the sky.

Above the originally shimmering lake, the silent sky was only dotted with dim and brilliant stars. Suddenly, these stars seemed to fall collectively, appearing between the lake and the night.

Like candle flames lighting up the night sky, the bright light is so bright that it shocks the eyeballs.

These lights were controlled by hundreds of drones to control the brightness of the night sky in front of her.

Gather together, and order neatly, combining cute and creative patterns frame after frame in the air.

The first pattern hanging in the sky is a little girl gesturing martial arts moves.

In the second picture, the little girl turns into a big mango.

In the third, the mangoes transform into bright bouquets.

The fourth picture is a birthday cake, and then stays in the air.

The entire night sky becomes extremely bright frame by frame, like wildfires bursting out and fireworks blooming.

In the distance, there was an exclamation from the front. It was the exclamation of the people who also looked up at the night sky. No one knew whose birthday was celebrated tonight.But people whose birthday is today must have received great surprise and satisfaction.

Today's birthday party, Bai Mang was indeed a little shocked. On this night, on her birthday, she did not expect that she would get such a grand birthday surprise.

"Jiang Chuanyao, you are... too kind to your friends." Bai Mang said softly, his tone was unbelievable, but he remained calm.

"I said, it's better to be my friend." Still in a joking tone.

"Bai Mang, I wish you a happy birthday and a happy adulthood again." The tone was a little more serious.

"There may not be any interesting things in the adult world, but I hope you can find interesting things and an interesting life in the future." Very serious words.

"Live like your name, always full of light of hope."

Words that were so sincere that they seemed to be carved from the bottom of my heart fell clearly on my ears, and poured into my heart with the wind.

Jiang Chuanyao was already standing beside her, but the distance was not very close. When she turned her head, she could clearly see his face again, clean eyebrows, and a gentle look that had never appeared before.

His youthful face was so handsome and smooth, when he looked up at the night sky with her, his eyes sparkled.

until--

The birthday cake slowly presented the radiant text again.

Stay in the air, it is eight words——

[Life is bright and invincible. 】

These eight characters, written above the night sky, seem to be floating in the sky, and they are so radiant.

Life is bright and invincible.

Originally, this was also the blessing he wanted to give himself that year, but today he gave it to her.

Jiang Chuanyao stood high next to her, the night was very quiet and the wind was very light.

"Jiang Chuanyao... When is your birthday?" Bai Mang came back to his senses and asked the people beside him.She received such a big gift from him, and when it was his birthday, she couldn't pretend to be ignorant.

I hope that Jiang Chuanyao's birthday has passed this year.

Jiang Chuanyao said, "929..."

what? !

"Coincidentally, it's also today." Jiang Chuanyao turned his mouth slightly, and looked at her slowly, with a strange light in his eyes, "So, I spent today with you."

Bai Mang:! ! !
Oh, very good.

If the front was shocked, she could only be in the mood of a dog at this moment.
-
Dare to love... Today's luxurious ostentation is a birthday party!

　Jiang Chuanyao: Do ​​you spell the order?Celebrate your birthday together, the kind that lasts a lifetime. q
