May 10th is Youyu’s birthday, his 18th birthday.

It happened to be Sunday, and there was a half-day vacation. Chi Tang came out and secretly hid a small bag under You Yu's pillow. After putting it in, she felt that this was too secret and not easy to be discovered. She hooked the corner of the bag with her hands and exposed it outside the pillow. Only after seeing this did she feel satisfied.

After putting things in, Chi Tang climbed onto his upper bunk, pulled up the quilt to cover it, and pretended to be taking a nap.

Not long after, the dormitory door was opened, and the footsteps of the people coming in were very light. Chi Tang could easily hear that this was You Yu. She would notice if there was someone resting in the dormitory as soon as she entered the dormitory. The others just kicked and slapped and slapped for a while. The movements were very loud, and they had to laugh loudly. Only when they were reminded would they find that someone rested in the room.

You Yu walked in and closed the door, put something on the desk, probably books and notes, and then stood in front of the bed and looked at her for a while. Although he couldn't see it, Chi Tang could feel her gaze. After looking for it for a while, she felt a hand touching her quilt and called her softly.

"Chi Tang?"

The sound was very light, Chi Tang didn't move, pretending that he didn't hear it. You Yu probably felt that she was really asleep and didn't call her again. Chi Tang could only hear the subtle movement, guessing whether You Yu saw what was placed under her pillow now.

She listened carefully, and soon she heard the sound of the material bag rustling and the sound of the box being taken apart.

Then there was no movement behind me again. Chi Tang thought, did You Yu like this gift? She couldn't help but feel angry, and wanted to sit up and look down, but she held back.

Chi Tang thought about what gift to give You Yu this 18th birthday.

She became an adult at the age of eighteen. She felt that the birthday of this year is always a little different from that of other years, and the things she gave should also be meaningful. She thought about it for a long time and finally found a suggestion online - giving lipstick.

It’s not because of the marketing slogans of “women are born to love lipstick” and “how many lipsticks should women have”, but because lipstick seems to have a different meaning in itself. It is always connected to the word “women”, and at the age of eighteen, from girls to women, it is like a flower bud blooming.

Chi Tang had seen a short film of ancient love animation. One of them was about the heroine meeting someone she liked. Every time she went to see her lover, she would light a little red on her lips. Later, she got married, wearing a wedding dress and sitting in front of the mirror to light a red lips. The camera language, accompanied by a red makeup episode, Chi Tang felt that it was very charming. So when she saw the suggestion of lipstick, she immediately made a decision.

They were in high school and the school did not allow students to put on makeup. She usually only used a facial cleanser. This time she went to buy lipsticks. Because time was rushed, she still wore a school uniform. When she walked to the counter, she was a little at a loss when facing the dazzling array of lipsticks. The sister behind the counter looked at her as if she was watching a child wearing adult shoes.

The scene was a bit shameful, reminding her of the time she went to buy a bra in her first year of high school.

After buying lipstick, Chi Tang thought again that according to You Yu's personality and habits, she probably wouldn't like this gift. You Yu usually takes care of herself cleanly and neatly, and never dresses up deliberately. It's different from other beautiful girls of this age. She probably won't use this lipstick even if she buys it.

Moreover, would she not understand what she meant and think it was perfunctory to buy a lipstick? Look at the straight men on the Internet who don’t know what gifts to give to her girlfriend, they all buy lipsticks. Isn’t she the same as those stupid straight men?

So Chi Tang regretted it halfway, but she bought it all, and it was difficult to change it temporarily. She didn't expect other gifts, so she finally took them back and gave them out. In order to avoid facing the scene that You Yu didn't like, she bit the bullet and pretended to be asleep.

The dormitory was very quiet, Chi Tang was very sensitive to the sound and listened carefully. She heard You Yu unpacking the packaging and then ticked it out loud, and then slapped it, which should have been the lid opened.

After reading it, she should put it away, right? Chi Tang comforted herself again. Even if she doesn't like it, You Yu would definitely not say anything. At worst, she would make up for her favorite next time, such as a bunch of exercise books... It's not right. They are almost graduated and they can't finish buying too many exercise books.

Chi Tang had various thoughts in his mind, and suddenly he heard footsteps again, as if You Yu had gotten up and went to the bathroom. Chi Tang felt moved, and sat up quietly, looking at the unveiled packaging box under the bunk. Did she go to try it? She stepped out of the bed on the ladder and walked to the bathroom barefoot to look in.

You Yu stood in front of the mirror, applying lipstick in a very unfamiliar way. It was obviously the first time to use it. Although it was carefully depicted, it was probably because the lips were too dry and some were unevenly applied. The flamboyant and enthusiastic red color had a different kind of beauty on this girl who looked calm on weekdays, because of the bright colors, or because of her expression.

The two of them met in the mirror, and You Yu subconsciously raised his hand to cover it. Chi Tang also felt embarrassed, but wanted to laugh again. After about three seconds, she walked into the bathroom and reached out, "I'll do it for you."

She actually didn't know much.

And when she helped her apply, You Yu kept pursing her lips subconsciously. She had to pinch her face slightly and "open her mouth."

You Yu Yiyan opened her mouth slightly and kept looking at her. Chi Tang could feel the cheeks under her hands getting slightly hot. Even her fingers began to get hot.

After watching her for a while, You Yu lowered his eyes slightly and his lips became bent. This scene seemed to have an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Chi Tang suddenly remembered the animated short film he had watched. The scene where the heroine who was addicted to love was still unable to stop talking but couldn't suppress herself.

"……alright."

It was really a failure to apply it. The outlined lip shape is too rigid and even a bit funny. Chi Tang couldn't help but raise his hand and rub it on You Yu's lips, "...I haven't applied it well, just apply it again."

You Yu held her hand and suddenly leaned towards her.

Chi Tang's throat moved, and he stood there motionless, holding his lipstick on the sink.

The blazing sunlight in May afternoon fell at their feet, landing on the white tiles, reflecting a bright white light.

The two slender girls' shadows in the mirror slowly approached, and after a while, they slowly separated. The two lips were the same red, and the originally dry lips were no longer dry, and the too thick color was diluted and neutralized, making them look bright and bright.

The girl wearing glasses showed a bright smile that she had never seen before in the sun, like a blooming flower.

Chi Tang turned his head and saw himself in the mirror. His lips were bright red, and even a little red was touching outside the lip line, just like You Yu.

She put down the lipstick she forgot to put down, raised her hand and took off You Yu's glasses, and whispered: "Happy birthday."

Then come on—

Warm, fragrant red.

After You Yu’s birthday, it’s less than a month before the college entrance examination.

Everyone is learning in a dim way. On the eve of the exam, Teacher Ke, who has been asking them to study hard, suddenly said to them: "The exam tomorrow, let's have a good rest today. You only have two classes in the afternoon, and you don't need to go to evening self-study, so you can keep your spirits."

After so much of my energy, I suddenly became empty and everyone was a little uncomfortable. I was not allowed to read books and do questions, and I didn’t even know what else I could do.

Because of worrying that students will encounter any problems when going out privately and delaying the exam, all students living on campus can only stay in school.

In the evening, although Teacher Ke said that he didn’t need to go to evening self-study, many people went to the classroom, some of whom were just trying to make a surprise attack before preparing for the exam, and some of whom were simply forgetting that he didn’t go to evening self-study and came subconsciously.

A group of people were in the classroom, so nervous that they couldn't learn anymore, and they didn't want to learn, and they didn't know what they could do.

Wei Xingxing suggested, "Why don't we come and sing."

When it comes to singing, everyone's eyes look at Chi Tang.

During the usual evening self-study period, Teacher Ke walked to the classroom of Class 3 and heard a song. She stood by the door and looked in. She saw Chi Tang singing with a guitar in her arms, singing ancient poems that must be memorized in Chinese. Teacher Ke laughed at me. Unexpectedly, this student would sing all the texts that he had to memorize in Chinese as songs. It was quite interesting and really nice.

The melodious music echoed in the classroom, and many people in the class sat or stood and listened quietly. Teacher Ke also listened outside the door. After these "text songs" were finished singing, another song "Farewell" was changed.

“Outside the long pavilion

The grass on the ancient road is green and the sky is connected

...

The End of Heaven

The Horn of the Earth

Knowledge and friendship are falling

…”

Every year during the graduation season, there is such a farewell. After graduation, each of them has their own direction, and it is difficult to have such a moment.

After listening to the song, Teacher Ke felt a little sad and smiled again. In the end, he didn't enter the classroom and left quietly.

After three days of the college entrance examination, Chi Tang didn't remember how he passed. He only remembered that before the exam, Teacher Ke repeatedly emphasized that he should bring his admission ticket and not be nervous and so on. It seemed that he was just a mistake, and the last level passed.

It was a bit unexpected. I thought about the college entrance examination before, but after really experiencing it, I seemed to feel that it was nothing.

On the day after the exam, the students from the senior high school gathered in the classroom again. I don’t know who started it first. They cheered and shouted in the classroom, and some people tear books, throwing homework and test papers randomly. This seems to be a tradition. At this time of year, a layer of paper is laid under the Zhiyuan Building of the senior high school.

Chi Tang did not participate in the celebration of the liberation of the group. She held the things in her hand tightly, stood in the corridor and looked down, waiting quietly.

After the exam, Teacher Ke was called to get things. She walked downstairs with a stack of paper and heard Chi Tang calling her in a familiar voice.

"You Yu!"

You Yu subconsciously looked up and saw Chi Tang standing in the corridor on the second floor.

Chi Tang smiled at her, stretched out his hand, and asked her in a daze: "Do you want to?"

You Yu saw something in Chi Tang's hand that reflected bright light under the sun, which seemed to be a ring. She was holding another one in her hand, and a red thread was tied to the plain circle, floating in the air.

You Yu suddenly understood something, his heart beat fast, and the smile on his face couldn't help but rise.

"I do!" she said standing under the building.

The entire Zhiyuan Tower was very noisy, and many people were cheering and laughing, and their voices seemed insignificant. But they all heard each other's voice clearly, as if something was isolated from them.

Chi Tang leaned upstairs slightly and raised his arms lightly.

In You Yu's eyes, the ring with a red line streaked across the blue sky on the day of graduation and fell towards herself. She couldn't help but take two steps forward, loosened her hand, and a pile of paper in her arms fell all over the ground. She raised her hand and accurately caught the ring-

The bell rang-
