When he came, the stars fell

Chapter 111 The Birthday Wish Mentioned You
After the evening self-study, it took Su Bai some time to pack up the gifts from everyone. When she was ready to leave, there were not many people left in the classroom.

Jiang Mo seemed to come in a hurry, and appeared at the front door just before she walked out of the classroom.

"I'm here to give you a birthday present."

Before he could even catch his breath, Jiang Mo first explained his reason for coming.

For some reason, Su Bai suddenly felt his heart beating very fast. He had received many gifts today, and he was never as excited as he is now.

She didn't even know what Jiang Mo was going to give, but she was very excited.

Trying to calm down, Su Bai said, "Take your time, don't worry."

She raised her foot to go out, but Jiang Mo stopped her in front of her and said quickly, "Happy birthday."

After all, Jiang Mo took a step back and let her come out.

"You are this?"

"Many people should say blessings to you in this classroom, and I can't miss this sentence."

A little... childish, Su Bai thought in his heart, but his heart beat still fast.

Geng Mianmian forgot her things and went back to her seat to get them, so Su Bai and Jiang Mo waited for her at the door.

"Actually, you can be at the school gate without running over." Su Bai said.

Jiang Mo shook his head, "Then I can't say what I just said."

Although it wasn't necessary, he just wanted to say that fortunately Su Bai didn't leave the classroom soon, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch up.

Su Bai only thought it was his intention, and nodded, "Yes."

In the classroom, Cheng Yan walked out slowly with his bag on his back, his face was slightly cold and expressionless.

The moment he left the classroom, Cheng Yan met Jiang Mo's gaze.

It's so white.

Jiang Mo's gaze stayed on his face for a few seconds before he came to this conclusion.

Subconsciously looked at Su Bai, wondering if the other party is admiring the handsome guy she likes.

Sure enough, Su Bai was staring at Cheng Yan, but his brows seemed to be slightly frowned.

Cheng Yan is really wronged, Su Bai thought.

Although thanks to her efforts, Qi Yu would not target Cheng Yan openly now, but he really didn't like Cheng Yan, and the occasional hostile eyes and displeased tone were quite hurtful.

Thinking about it this way, Su Bai's gaze towards Cheng Yan became softer and full of worry like an old mother.

This kid seems to like Qi Yu quite a bit, but don't lose your mind because of it.

After the eye contact with Jiang Mo ended, Cheng Yan followed his gaze to look at Su Bai, but found that the other party's expression was even weirder than Jiang Mo's.

After being slightly startled, he turned around and walked down the corridor.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled that he had heard that Su Bai asked Qi Yu to treat him better.

Almost everyone in the intensive class likes Su Bai, it's not without reason.

At the door of the classroom, Jiang Mo leaned on the balcony, lowered his eyebrows and pointed at the things in the transparent plastic box in Su Bai's hand, "Is this your birthday present too?"

Following his line of sight, Su Bai saw the small tank in his hand, and smiled helplessly.

"Well, Jiayu gave it to me."

"A man?" Jiang Mo asked.

The person who can give this gift must be a boy.

"No." For the first time, Su Bai felt that Jiang Mo was forgetful, and was about to continue explaining with a smile, when he caught a glimpse of Cheng Yan coming back from the corner of his eye.

The tall and thin boy stood in front of her, frowning slightly, as if making up his mind.

"Well, happy birthday." Cheng Yan said.

Su Bai was slightly taken aback, then smiled, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Cheng Yan."

Cheng Yan didn't answer, nodded to her, turned and walked away.

Seeing Jiang Mo looking at him, Su Bai explained: "Cheng Yan usually doesn't talk much, and since he just arrived, I didn't expect him to tell me this."

"It's normal when you think about it. You are very popular, and it takes only a few minutes to influence new classmates." Geng Mianmian came out of the classroom, "I guess everyone in our class should say happy birthday to you, right?"

Su Bai thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't remember too well either."

The three of them didn't stay at the door of the classroom for a long time, because during this time, Director Zhang liked to wander around the teaching building, catching some male and female students who had been in close contact.

When passing the playground, Jiang Mo suddenly asked: "Su Bai, have you eaten cake today?"

"No, but I ate noodles in the morning." Su Bai said.

"Then shall we go to the playground to eat cake?" Jiang Mo held up the cake box in his hand to show Su Bai.

"Wow, this is from that chain cake shop in the south of the city." Geng Mianmian whispered in Su Bai's ear: "It is said that his home tastes delicious, so you have to make an appointment long in advance."

This is true, Jiang Mo thought.

Although he doesn't understand, will there be so many people's birthdays every day, and the appointments are always full.

After he heard about this store from Chen Yun, he immediately made an appointment, but the appointment could only be until tomorrow at the earliest.

It was he who took out the membership card that Chen Yun had accumulated thousands of points to get them to agree to work overtime at night to finish it for him.

It was for this cake that he came late.

"Going?" Jiang Mo asked again, looking forward to it.

"Go." Su Bai said.

"Then I'll go back first, you two go." Geng Mianmian said she wanted to leave, she felt like staying here was a bit like a light bulb.

"Let's go together." Jiang Mo said, before Su Bai.

In this way, even if their director finds out, Su Bai will not be suspected of being a puppy love.

Not far from the school gate, there is a protruding room, which is at a right angle to the wall, just enough to block some sight from the road, and the lamp diagonally opposite also provides a light source.

Picked a slightly clean place in this corner, and three people sat cross-legged, forming a small circle.

Taking out the cake from the box, unpacking the candles, Jiang Mo inserted them one by one.

The cake was not very big, so Su Bai asked him to cut down a few sticks. Jiang Mo picked an auspicious number and put in six sticks.

It was quiet and windless that night, so there was no need to worry about the candles blowing out, so Jiang Mo took out the lighters and lit them one by one.

"Su Bai, happy birthday."

"Thank you." Su Baiyang smiled, "It's only seventeen."

Jiang Mo was startled, and quickly realized, "Oh, should it be one year old?"

Shaking his head, Su Bai continued: "One year old is sixteen."

Jiang Mo: "???"

Like the grove to the west where there was no wind, Jiang Mo froze in place, unable to speak for a while.

He even had the urge to take a look at his notebook, but the fact is that he clearly remembered what was written on it. It said Su Bai's birthday, but not his age.

Regarding age, he subconsciously believed that those who entered the third year of high school were all eighteen or nineteen years old, especially since Su Bai's birthday was so late, he never thought about being 17 years old.

"Susu, I feel Jiang Mo is shocked." Geng Mianmian whispered in Su Bai's ear.

"It seems to be." Su Bai looked at Jiang Mo and explained, "I went to school a year early."

"Looking for a relationship?" Jiang Mo asked.

One year younger and born in the second half of the year, it stands to reason that they cannot be at the same level as them.

Nodding his head, Su Bai said, "It should be."

Originally, Jiang Mo thought that the other party was half a year younger than himself, but now he suddenly became one and a half years old. He felt inexplicably guilty that he was trying to trick the little girl.

Putting this idea aside for the time being, he put the birthday hat from the cake on Su Bai's head and said, "Su Bai, happy 17th birthday, make a wish and blow out the candles."

"I still make a wish."

"The cake is all there, so there is a sense of ritual, of course it is necessary to make a wish." Geng Mianmian raised his hand to cover Su Bai's eyes, "Close it quickly."

"it is good."

Su Bai just closed his eyes and made a wish in his heart.

——I hope that on her birthday next year, her friends will still be there, and so will Jiang Mo.

When he opened his eyes, he happened to meet Shang Jiang Mo's gaze, which was so gentle that it made people unconsciously feel at ease.

After blowing out the candles, Jiang Mo proceeded to remove the candles, not forgetting to ask Su Bai to send a message to his family, saying that he would be home a little later.

"Qi Yu and I were also shocked when we found out that you were one year younger than us, because you looked much more mature than us in terms of appearance and personality."

While waiting for Jiang Mo to cut the cake, Geng Mianmian leaned on Su Bai's shoulder and said.

Su Bai's eyes fell on Jiang Mo's hand, and he responded casually, "It's only a year difference, there won't be any difference in appearance."

"Yes, don't you think you are well-developed," Geng Mian straightened up and looked in front of Su Bai, "Are you outstanding? I think so since the first time I saw you."

Su Bai who understood her words: "..."

"Everyone is the same, growing up is only a matter of junior high school."

While speaking, Su Bai winked at Geng Mianmian, reminding her that there was Jiang Mo next to her.

"Oh—" Geng Mianmian's eyes widened before he realized, "Yes, it's the same in high school, the main thing is that the personality is mature, um, that's right."

However, Jiang Mo didn't seem to pay attention to what they said.

Handing the first cut cake to Su Bai, Jiang Mo was a little embarrassed, "I thought you were eighteen, so I asked the store to make a little tiger."

"It's okay, tigers are cute."

When Su Bai raised his hand to take the paper tray, he accidentally slid it over Jiang Mo's fingertips, letting it cool off a little.

Frowning, Jiang Mo looked at Su Bai's clothes, which were quite thick, why his hands were still so cold.

The sweetness of the cream spread in his mouth, Su Bai frowned, "It's delicious."

"That's good."

Geng Mianmian also cut a piece and handed it over. Jiang Mo picked up the phone, leaned back, and took a photo of Su Bai.

"Crack-"

Su Bai raised his head, and looked at Jiang Mo behind the phone with some embarrassment.

She smiled, "Take a picture with Mianmian and me."

"it is good."

Jiang Mo responded, got up and backed away, and under the lights of the playground, took a few consecutive photos of two girls who were leaning side by side, each holding a plate of cake.

Thinking that his father would be called ugly by his mother every time he took a photo, Jiang Mo nervously handed the phone to Su Bai.

"Look, can you?"

Although he himself thought it was a pretty good shot, because Su Bai in the photo was very pretty.

"Well, yes."

Su Bai changed hands and handed Jiang Mo's phone to Geng Mianmian, "Take a picture with Jiang Mo and me."

"Ah?" Geng Mianmian blinked, "Okay, okay."

Under the night background, Su Bai was sitting on the ground with legs half bent, smiling gently, Jiang Mo squatted behind her, hesitated for a while, raised his hand and gestured "yeah" to her right ear.

"Okay." Geng Mianmian said, but his hand was on the shutter button and did not move away.

When the camera was pressed for the second time, Jiang Mo withdrew his hand, and his eyes fell on Su Bai, as gentle as if he had been rubbed into the starlight.

The third time, it was Su Bai and Jiang Mo looking at each other.

"Remember to send me." Su Bai said with a smile.

"Ah."

"Mianmian, did you take more than one picture?"

Su Bai was about to stand up, but Jiang Mo naturally held her arm behind him.

"Take three pictures."

Geng Mianmian stared intently at the photo, feeling more and more that the two were a good match, especially when they looked at each other, as if there was only each other in their eyes.

She is so redundant.

They each ate a small piece of cake, and they didn't stay in the school for too long. When they reached the gate of No. [-] Middle School, Geng Mianmian said goodbye to them.

When she and Jiang Mo walked side by side near the newsstand, Su Bai realized that she seemed to be used to Jiang Mo going home with her from time to time.

When turning the corner, Su Bai looked at Jiang Mo, "A gift."

"Ok?"

"Is my birthday present the cake just now?" Su Bai asked.

"No." Subconsciously holding up the cake box, Jiang Mo said, "The cake is for birthdays, and the presents are bought separately."

"Oh."

Su Bai's eyes scanned Jiang Mo back and forth, and blinked a little embarrassedly, "Where is the gift?"

She is curious and anxious.

"Um, it's in the schoolbag, but don't expect too much, because I don't know what to give you." Jiang Mo looked down, "I don't know that you still like small tanks."

"I don't like little tanks." Su Bai laughed, "Jiayu gives similar things every year. I always think that the gifts she gives are boys' favorites."

"Because he himself is a boy..."

Seeing Su Bai staring at him, Jiang Mo's voice gradually weakened.

"Jiayu, Lu Jiayu, is the beauty of our third middle school, the one you met at dinner last time."

"Ah, so it was her, I didn't remember the name." Jiang Mo scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Well, I think she took Shen Huai'en's advice into consideration, otherwise she wouldn't send these every time." Su Bai said.

Come to think of it, as if caught in a strange loop.

When Shen Huaien gave Lu Jiayu a gift, he asked her opinion; when Lu Jiayu gave her a gift, he asked Shen Huaien for his opinion; when Lu Jiayu gave Shen Huaien a gift, he asked her; when she gave Shen Huaien... No, she and Shen Huaien did not give gifts to each other.

"It's not bad to put on."

"Well, the shape is pretty." Su Bai said with a smile.

Only she knows that there are always all kinds of books and learning materials on the bookcase at home, and the gifts she receives that have nothing to do with learning can only be kept in the cabinet forever.

After walking two steps, Jiang Mo suddenly said, "I bought you a book."

"Book?"

"Well, books, some learning materials, and some small objects."

"It's more than the same?"

"Well, I don't know which one you like, so I bought them all, and I'll bring them to you later."

"it is good."

At the intersection, Jiang Mo asked, "What birthday wish did you make?"

"I just hope that this time next year..." Su Bai paused, "Isn't it going to work if I say it?"

"It seems that there is such a saying."

"Then don't make it clear. It's probably the expectation for the future. Then, I mentioned you in my birthday wish."
