Today is my birthday, a day framed as a celebration of the first breath of air I breathed in this world - as it should be
However, people are always coming and going, which can also be annoying.
"Yeah, that's right. I want to spend my birthday this year with my boyfriend."
"Eh? Has Xiao Mingzi also got a boyfriend? It was only a few days ago since we last met, but he actually brought us this news!"
"It's incredible that someone like you can fall in love with someone like you."
"Hey, hey, tell us what kind of person he is!"
…
I smiled sweetly, letting the cold wind pass through the slits in my hair, but couldn't help but press my face closer under the scarf. Whether it's a romantic partner or a talkative friend, why can't these things that make me irritated for no reason always get around me in time? No matter what, I get tired of spending time and energy dealing with them that I shouldn't.
So, I lied
That's it
'I want to spend my birthday this year with my boyfriend'
If I were facing a truly sincere friend at this moment, I would probably shout loudly, "We've only been together for so long! How could we have been forgotten!" Or "Have you been deceived?" But unfortunately, my friend is not among this group of people. Therefore, all I can face are these 'friends' who share the cold wind with me on the street and use a few words to ease the awkward atmosphere.
It is right not to spend birthdays with such unfamiliar people and not to invite them with low expectations.
"Ah, your driver is here, Mingzi"
I nodded and no longer forced myself to communicate with these people. After saying goodbye softly, I finally stepped into the open car seat next to me as if I was relieved.
"Miss Mingzi, how are you feeling today? Hahaha, I hope I haven't forgotten this..."
The driver's seat did not start driving. The driver sitting in the front seat turned around and opened a gift box for me. After removing the lid of the box, the simple and light yellow cake was clearly visible. It seemed to have been carefully selected, at least in a style that I would not be picky about.
"... Very cute, thank you, Uncle Fujiwara."
I took it over, put it on my lap, and turned to look out the window casually.
Going home,
"Will daddy not come today?"
I scooped out a spoonful of the cake and stuffed it into my mouth. The sweet and greasy taste changed from 'smell' to 'know', filling my entire mouth. I smashed the taste of milk on my lips and tongue, and wandered aimlessly again
"Haha, sir, he is always very busy, so he can't spare time to visit you."
Is that so?
It's obviously because he doesn't want to see me.
I nodded as if he didn't care, then suddenly remembered something and called the driver to stop.
"Stop for a moment... I want to make a wish."
On a birthday, you have to make a wish, right? I noticed that part of the cake on my hand had been eaten, and I thought of this sentence
The wish you make is likely to come true!
This is a sentence that I accidentally mentioned last night when I was chatting with my friend who communicates with me on the computer. After all, it will be my birthday soon. Here is my comment on it.
"Are you still a three-year-old child?"
[My mother said this to me... Really, Mingzi, why do you say the same thing as my brother!
My friend from another city, "Yakami Sayu" said this
Be sure to remember to make a wish!
Make a wish, a wish that can come true... I pulled the thin candle out of the paper bag, rubbed its cold and strange texture with my fingers, and inserted the long golden candle on the cake.
"Lighter."
I took the fluorescent powder lighter from the front seat, and there was a "click" sound, and then a small flame flickered in front of me. Along with my hand movements, it transferred to the candle
It's so difficult to make a wish... What else do I need?
Is it too trivial to make a wish to see Sayu? After all, I just need to arrange for a driver to drive for a long time... But, do I have any other wishes at this moment?
My family's conditions are favorable, and everything is easy to say except that I don't have the love of my parents. I don't like luxury goods or sports cars, and I don't have a hobby of collecting or sharing. Under such conditions, it seems that there is nothing I want that can only be obtained by making wishes...
Ah, if you pick one at random...
Just this wish,
'A boyfriend with more personality should be as low-key as me...'
How about this, so that you can face those strange friends without any guilt, I'm not lying! The so-called boyfriend who accompanied me on my birthday was just late on his way!
I laughed out loud at myself, exhaled a breath to extinguish the small burning flame, and then put everything behind me.

Why does it still have wings?
He seems to be a man, a male...
Eh...? Is this the boyfriend I made a wish for? !
