Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 51

The holiday after the college entrance examination seems to be no different from other holidays. Before graduation, Zhan Ping had planned to invite four members of the Rocket Class to form a tour group and everyone would travel together. It was exciting just thinking about it.

But then Lin wanted to visit relatives in other places, Lu Guanhai and Luo Zeli were working summer jobs, and Wu Bo was the only one left who didn't want to join them.In the end, Ni Manhua and Zhan Ping were the only ones who stuck to their travel plans. They used their family's large sponsorship to eat, drink and have fun for a month before returning.

Zhan Ping was generous and still thought about them. Before returning, she took Ni Manhua to visit a specialty store.Later, we made an appointment in the group to get together and chose a half-day time, and finally decided that everyone would come out to celebrate Ni Manhua's birthday together.

Ni Manhua was a little speechless while flipping through the chat history between Zhan Ping and them: "On the day of my birthday, shall we give them gifts one by one?"

Zhan Ping waved her hand: "It's okay, won't we also accept gifts then? In this way, when the time comes, I will stand at the door, and if the gifts are not as good as those I gave out, I will rush them away without letting them into the house. Do you think that's okay?" "

"It sounds like I'm in desperate need of gifts. It's embarrassing." Ni Manhua said this with a smile.Ni Manhua discovered that Zhan Ping was really a little treasure. As long as he was with her, Ni Manhua would not feel that there was an almost 30-year-old soul living in his body. Instead, he felt like a child, more beautiful than in the mirror. It looks smaller.

Ni Manhua looked at himself in the dressing mirror: "The lipstick you painted on me made me look older by a few years."

"This is called maturity. How come you can't stop talking with your mouth?" Zhan Ping glanced at Ni Manhua displeasedly: "We are adults now. I am an adult and you are almost an adult. We are going to do it." Do what adults do. On your birthday, I’ll give you a gorgeous royal makeup to make sure their eyes, which have never seen the world, can see straight.”

"Aren't we just going out for a quick get-together? Doesn't it need to be so grand?"

"It's your birthday, Ms. Manhua, please pay more attention to it."

Zhan Ping and Wu Bo spent their birthdays at school, celebrating with piles of homework and test papers. Zhan Ping had always been very regretful, so she planned to start with Ni Manhua and play some tricks.

The last time Ni Manhua celebrated his birthday, Zhan Ping rented a tent on the top of a hill in a nearby park and took them to climb the mountain to make skewers, which made Ni Manhua very tired.

Ni Manhua vaccinated her in advance this time: "Then you arrange it. Remember, I don't want physical exercise. Give me a more relaxed game."

"Then what else? Sing and eat? It's too ordinary."

"It's better to be ordinary. We are just ordinary people. We don't need to be too unconventional."

On the day of Ni Manhua's birthday, Zhan Ping posted the location of a restaurant for dinner in the group in the afternoon, and then rushed to Ni Manhua's house in person to do her makeup and pick out clothes.

They each had lunch at home, because Zhan Ping and Wu Bolin thought that the three of them would sleep in, so they couldn't make appointments in the morning and noon. Zhan Ping kept tinkering with the cosmetics in the afternoon.

Ni Manhua was still a little confused: "Why don't we sing in the afternoon show but in the evening show when we sing?"

"Ambience! How many times have I told you about atmosphere! Romance! A date with a handsome guy requires atmosphere!"

"I celebrate my birthday on my home court. Handsome guys are not the focus. Besides, I'm tired of looking at the faces of the four of them. No matter how much atmosphere there is, there are no surprises."

"Then I'll take you to find a new handsome guy. Sit down first and don't move around."

During dinner in the evening, Zhan Ping dragged Ni Manhua to the hotel. Ni Manhua felt a little awkward all over.Apart from being on stage, in life, Ni Manhua has never worn such rich makeup on such a young face.

Lu Guanhai and the others came together. Lin Xiang jumped up on the street as soon as he saw them: "My sisters, how did you grow up? We haven't seen each other for a month, and you have transformed from beauties to fairies. .”

These words made Zhan Ping very happy: "You still have a sweet mouth, and the fairy will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."

"Thank you, sister. Hey Man, happy birthday!"

As Lin Xiang spoke, he took out a small box from his pocket and handed it over. The other three people also handed over gifts.

"Happy birthday."

Ni Manhua thanked each one. The gifts from the other three people were all in small bags. Only the gift from Wu Bo was in a large paper bag, so Ni Manhua put all the gifts in that paper bag. .

Wu Bo said proudly: "Look, my bag is still big and can hold everything in one bag."

Lu Guanhai smiled softly: "Do you give such a big bag and such a small gift to match? The gift only accounts for one-third, and the remaining two-thirds are for us to fill, aren't we?"

"It's not me... Brother Lu, why are you so venomous? Did you steal a lesson from Luotuo?"

Luo Zheli said slowly: "What does it have to do with me? I didn't receive the tuition fee."

Zhan Ping also distributed the specialties, one for each person, which were actually candies, but the making process of the candies was quite special and rare in their area.

Lin wanted to continue flattering: "The gift brought by the fairy is really special, sweet and beautiful."

Wu Bo couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't be disgusting before eating. How will we be able to eat later?"

Lu Guanhai turned his head to look at Ni Manhua, Ni Manhua and him looked at each other for half a minute, Lu Guanhai remained silent, Ni Manhua asked him: "What's wrong?"

Ni Manhua thought it was the first time Lu Guanhai saw her like this, and she was a little uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Lu Guanhai pointed at her cheek: "Your lipstick is stained on your face."

"Oh..." Ni Manhua was a little embarrassed, took out his phone and wiped the screen.

Zhan Ping really treated Ni Manhua's birthday with a very high standard. Although they didn't set up a table, Zhan Ping ordered a table of dishes according to the standard of setting up a table.

Wu Bo and Lin Xiang were stunned to see cold dishes, desserts, longevity noodles, and various other dishes with auspicious meanings.

Ni Manhua was a bit dumbfounded after serving the food: "You make me feel that I am not 80 years old this year."

"Then let's wish Mrs. Ni a happy birthday." Zhan Ping raised her glass proudly. She didn't buy wine today. Ni Manhua was a little surprised. She thought that according to Zhan Ping's temperament, there should be someone with wine talent in such a crowded occasion. yes.

At the dinner table, it was inevitable to talk about where to go after school starts. Lu Guanhai actually went to Beijing. He majored in archeology. He really wanted to take a completely different path from before.The other people were almost the same as what Zhan Ping had reported earlier. The places where the six of them went were divided into three places.

Wu Bo said: "It's good. Although we won't be able to get together often in the future, we can still take care of each other by working in pairs."

"Skinny Monkey, how could you be in the same city as me?"

"I didn't expect it either, and I didn't see your volunteering. This must be fate."

Luo Zheli said: "When the time comes, you can go together. Xiangzi and I will go see you off, if you start school earlier than us."

Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai: "When will you report?"

Lu Guanhai said: "No. 19, I have already bought the train ticket for No. 17."

Ni Manhua stopped talking. In fact, she could go on the 17th day, but she couldn't take the train.

Zhan Ping and Wu Bo were also having a lively discussion there. The city where they went to school was very beautiful, with the sea as Zhan Ping expected, so they planned to go there a week in advance and walk around, treating it as a short trip. .

Ni Manhua actually wanted to take a walk with Lu Guanhai like this, to see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, but she knew how much financial pressure Lu Guanhai was under at this time. He had been working for a whole month during the summer vacation. They will see the Great Wall with her. Although they are about to go to the same destination, their life trajectories have actually been separated for a long time.
