I’m showing off my shame

Xie Yuan held the sword on her waist and straightened her back. The scene of her mother asking her to wear women's clothes and learn the rules flashed in her mind. She raised her chin, and Danfeng narrowed her eyes and said:

"I'm happy. This birthday is the happiest birthday I have ever had."

"Didn't your birthday pass earlier?" Guan Yifei finally asked.

Shen Liuzhen said with a smile: "No... in order to raise money, Ayuan asked the teacher to hold the birthday party as an excuse to convene people to donate. So I went ahead of time."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Guan Yifei and said, "My birthday is coming soon. I am a few months younger than her."

Guan Yifei was a little moved, but also a little guilty. After all, these two children were so much younger than him. And he had always been the big brother and parent of the street children.

So he lowered his head and looked at the children who were holding him, and said: "How can we not have a lively birthday?... Go and call everyone over, someone is celebrating a birthday."

As soon as he finished speaking, the children surrounding him jumped up happily and ran excitedly to spread the message.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen were a little surprised when they saw the unusual excitement of the children. Xie Yuan asked:

"Why are they so happy?"

"How do you celebrate birthdays at home?" Guan Yifei asked with a smile.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen looked at each other.

Shen Liuzhen said: "My father is a military general and is away from home all year round." He paused, with a look of regret on his face, and added, "...Besides, my birthday was not very good, and I almost never celebrated it. My teachers and my wife have helped me in these past few years."

Only then did Guan Yifei remember that Shen Liuzhen once said that her mother died in childbirth when giving birth to him, and his birthday was the anniversary of his mother's death... It really couldn't be said.

Xie Yuan sighed and said: "There is nothing special about celebrating birthdays in my family. We usually just choose that day. My mother will make me a girl's clothes and make my favorite food. After dinner, I will give my father a serious meal. The discipline. He said that he has grown a year older and should pay attention to his words and deeds in the future, so as not to embarrass the Xie family..."

Guan Yifei was confused when he heard "dressed in a girl's clothes" and asked:

"Is it so strange for a wealthy family to celebrate their birthday? What's the point of dressing their son as a girl?"

Xie Yuan frowned. She was unhappy because of this matter and didn't know what to say.

Shen Liuzhen had no answer and was in a dilemma. Guan Yifei suddenly said as if he had a sudden enlightenment:

"I know... I heard that some noble families will find ways to deceive God and give their children a cheap name in order to support their children. Your parents probably want you to pretend to be a girl to fool them, right? "

Xie Yuan looked at Guan Yifei's excited expression in surprise, and was confused for a moment. She looked at Shen Liuzhen and asked with some stuttering:

"Is...is it because of this?"

Shen Liuzhen held his sleeves and thought about it very seriously, and said: "This reason... also makes sense."

At this moment, all the children ran back and gathered excitedly around Guan Yifei, asking: "Brother Guan, whose birthday is today? I am not prepared."

"There is no need to prepare, just perform the performances that you are good at in the past. Xie Langjun has never seen it, so anything will do." Guan Yifei said.

"Oh~oh~that's good." The children began to cheer.

"It turns out it's Brother Xie's birthday... Brother Xie, I'll cook whatever you like best." A five-year-old child with messy hair bit his finger and looked at Xie Yuan with bright eyes, his expression very serious.

Shen Liuzhen felt that the scene was a little out of control. He subconsciously leaned closer to Xie Yuan and continued with a smile:

"She likes to eat persimmons the most."

Xie Yuanze stared at the child with wide eyes and asked, "Can you cook at such a young age?"

The five-year-old child grinned sheepishly, seemed to be blushing, and ran away before saying anything.

Guan Yifei said with a smile: "Xunya doesn't know how to cook. She was talking about something else... If you like to eat persimmons, you really can't get them at this time of year, so she has to take action."

As he spoke, he waved to the children who were surrounding him and said loudly: "Behave as usual...form a circle and take out all the good things you have."

When the children heard this, they cheered and sat down on the spot. Even Guan Yifei sat down, leaving only Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen standing there at a loss.

"Come on, since your birthdays are so close, let's get together. The birthday girl will come first and perform a show for everyone." Guan Yifei sat on the ground and waved to Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen.

Xie Yuan was confused... about the performance? She had only seen others perform it, had she ever performed it before, or was she performing it for others on her birthday?

"I can't." Xie Yuan said.

Shen Liuzhen was also a little confused, but he was always used to being a "good guy". In order to avoid embarrassing the situation, he took Xie Yuan's arm and walked to the court, smiling and saying: "I don't know anything, what can I do? Woolen cloth. "

"Nonsense, no matter what, you know more than us, just show off whatever you want... Hurry up and stop whining, everyone is waiting to see." Guan Yifei raised his head and frowned deeply, He urged her with a smile.

She usually talks about other people's ink marks, but this was the first time that others mentioned her ink marks, so she took a step forward, pulled out the sword in her hand, made a sword flower with a "swish" sound, and said:

"Then let's do a sword dance."

Immediately, he spun around and rushed out from Shen Liuzhen's side. He jumped into the air again and steadied his body like an eagle spreading its wings. After landing, there was a phantom of sword light, his body was like a swimming dragon, and he was graceful and frightened. Hong.

Shen Liuzhen stood in the field, surrounded by children sitting around. The lively applause and cheers were endless, but he felt quiet. Only Xie Yuan's tall figure seemed to be prancing in his eyes. Every move seemed to be slowed down. In his world, it has become the most unruly and unrestrained calligraphy on paper, which touches people's hearts.

He likes to watch her practice martial arts. It is his favorite thing besides reading books.

"Hey...it's your turn, Mr. Shen." Guan Yifei said loudly.

Shen Liuzhen woke up from the illusion, only to realize that Xie Yuan had finished dancing at some point, received a burst of warm applause, sheathed his sword, and walked towards him.

The unconscious smile on his face became deeper and the dimples were obvious, but it was no more genuine than the smile just now. He said to everyone:

"What can I do? I can handle it... I can play the piano quite well."

Everyone's eyes widened...

Xie Yuan said neatly: "There is no Qin now, please change it and tell us a story you have read."

After saying that, he walked directly to the side and sat with the children. Like them, they looked up at him expectantly.

"Okay, okay... tell a story, tell a story, tell a story." Seeing his hesitation, the children clapped enthusiastically again.

Shen Liuzhen took two more steps to the middle, thinking as he walked. When he reached the middle, he raised his arms and cupped his hands, and performed a Confucian etiquette in front of everyone. His wide sleeves were closed in front of him. Said: "Then let me tell you one thing, I'm going to show my disgrace..."

The children had never seen such behavior before, and they all laughed out of curiosity, and some even shouted happily:

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

Xie Yuan was amused by this conversation. He sat in the crowd and kept laughing "hahaha" with his eyes bent.
