7. Birthday wishes
Today is Guan Xiao's eighteenth birthday, but she spends it alone at home.
Mom is busy with her livelihood, and the night is when she works, so she has no time to take care of it.
The classmates each have their own studies, and Guan Xiao can't afford to invite them to eat together, so he didn't mention it at all.
So, Guan Xiao spent ten yuan of pocket money to buy a small cake for himself in the handicraft cake shop, asked for a candle, and celebrated his birthday.
But God didn't seem to want to give Guan Xiao this opportunity, just when she was about to light a birthday candle for herself, Sun Ya broke in with someone, punches and kicks were inevitable, and she even humiliated herself, in front of Sun Xin!
In the end, if the uncle hadn't arrived in time and beat Sun Xin and them, Guan Xiao didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
But now that the cake has been broken, Guan Xiao has no money to buy another one, and there is nothing to eat at home, this birthday dinner is like painting cakes to satisfy hunger.
"Come to me, I'll make it for you." ”
Ye Yuan pulled Guan Xiao downstairs as he spoke, and in that rental room, he specially prepared an induction cooker.
Although he only cooked one bowl of noodles, Ye Yuan fried an extra ham sausage and two poached eggs, and stacked them neatly on the noodles.
After turning off the only lamp, Ye Yuan lit a red candle that emitted a pale yellow halo.
Ham sausage and poached eggs made up the word "18", and Ye Yuan sang Happy Birthday in his plain and watery tone.
Guan Xiao looked at this bowl of birthday noodles, her eyes were red again, and tears were already rolling.
"I'm not very good at cooking that, if you don't think it tastes, I have a good friend, I can ask him to make it. Seeing that Guan Xiao seemed to be crying again, Ye Yuan hurriedly changed the topic.
Guan Xiao showed a smile, picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and said while eating: "I, I just think the birthday noodles are so beautiful that I don't want to eat them." Hmm, it's delicious. ”
Ye Yuan looked at Guan Xiao, under the swaying of the candle flame, her face was red and full of satisfaction. This kind of taste Ye Yuan is very familiar with, that is happiness.
"Uncle, since my father left, this is the first time that someone has accompanied me for my birthday, and we will spend it together next year, okay?" Guan Xiao suddenly stopped his chopsticks and looked at Ye Yuan and said.
Next year, Ye Yuan came to this alley and became a car mechanic, just to find out the news of Scar's group of people, and finally expose Wu Peng's conspiracy.
Now that his mission is complete, there's no need to stay here any longer.
"Girl, do you have any birthday wishes?" Ye Yuan didn't answer, but changed the topic.
Guan Xiao tilted his head and thought about it, and said after a while: "Well, in fact, I think I'm okay, I don't have any special wishes, if only Sun Ya and the others didn't bother me." By the way, I want to go to Universal Amusement City, I heard that it is super fun. ”
Speaking of amusement city, Guan Xiao's eyes began to glow, and it was obvious that even at her age, it was still natural to play.
Ye Yuan took out his mobile phone and checked the information of Universal Amusement City.
There are a total of eight Universal Amusement Cities in the world, each in eight countries, and in the Chinese Tenglong Kingdom, there is only one in Xinhai City.
In order to build this super amusement city, Ma Tiansheng, the richest man in Xinhai City, invested more than 10 billion yuan, vacated a large piece of land in Jiangxi, and joined hands with Citigroup to build the first amusement park in China.
Now that the summer vacation is approaching, it is the peak tourist season, if you go on the weekend, the price of the full set of tickets is 2,000 yuan, which is a sky-high price for Guan Xiao.
Guan Xiao seemed to know, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, I'll just talk about it, it's not for me to go there, don't dream ......"
"Tomorrow at eight o'clock, you go downstairs, and I'll take you to Universal Amusement City. Ye Yuan put away his phone and said.
Guan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't, uncle, don't do this, I just said it casually." ”
Ye Yuan said seriously: "How can you say your birthday wish casually, I will help you realize it." ”
Guan Xiao looked at Ye Yuan and didn't know what to say, and only replied after a while: "Uncle, you are so good." ”
Although Ye Yuan didn't talk much, Guan Xiao felt very comfortable chatting with him, one seemed to be chattering, and kept talking, and the other nodded his head, as if he had the same point of view as Guan Xiao.
Due to her family, Guan Xiao rarely has any intimate friends, and she usually can't talk to her classmates, but the uncle in front of her gives her a cordial feeling, maybe everyone is a relationship between the poor at the bottom, so she has no burden.
This conversation reached midnight, and at this time, the sound of high heels sounded in the alley, and Guan Xiao seemed to close the chatterbox, covering his mouth and listening carefully.
"It's not good, my mother is back, I want to go up quickly!" Guan Xiao hurriedly stood up, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard footsteps and had already gone upstairs.
Ye Yuan looked at Guan Xiao's anxious appearance and said puzzledly: "Aren't you going to tell your mother about such a big thing today?"
Guan Xiao immediately replied: "Of course, she knows about it, and she doesn't know what happened, and I can't stand her hot temper." At that time, it will be she who will suffer. ”
For Guan Xiao's mother Dai Yazhi Ye Yuan has only seen twice, the only concept is that she is a young woman who is still charming, not a few years older than him, but she is full of sophistication and Jianghu atmosphere.
I didn't expect Guan Xiao to be so afraid of her mother, this should have something to do with their experience.
Just as they were talking, Dai Yazhi obviously noticed the strangeness of the upstairs, and shouted Guan Xiao's name loudly, looking very nervous.
"Hiding is not the way, I'll go up with you and explain. Ye Yuan took Guan Xiao's hand and walked out of the door.
Although Guan Xiao was still a little resistant, he still couldn't get rid of his uncle's aura after all.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the room, they happened to bump into Dai Yazhi, who was running down in a hurry.
I saw Dai Yazhi looking frightened, sweating profusely, and melting her makeup.
Today she is wearing a cheongsam, dressed like a young lady in the Republic of China, she should have gone to some venue.
Just when Ye Yuan was guessing, Dai Yazhi had already shouted: "You, what are you doing, what are you going to do to my daughter?"
Ye Yuan replied: "It's nothing, it's just ......"
Before Ye Yuan finished speaking, Dai Yazhi had already pulled Guan Xiao over, looked at Ye Yuan vigilantly and asked, "Who are you? Did you premeditate? Why is my daughter in your room in the middle of the night?"
Ye Yuan couldn't argue, but Guan Xiao interjected and said, "Mom, uncle is not a bad person, he was celebrating my birthday just now......"
Dai Yazhi interrupted her and said, "What's going on in that room? Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, Mom will protect you!"
Guan Xiao was speechless for a while, spread his hands and said, "Mom, how can I explain to you to listen." Nothing, nothing at all, something in the room that I accidentally knocked over. ”
Dai Yazhi didn't believe it at all: "What about liars, a person will accidentally make it like this, even the table legs are broken, and the walls are cracked......
Dai Yazhi suddenly stopped when she said this, then pinched Guan Xiao's clothes and said, "This is the oil stain of the cake, there are on the table, you, you were pushed down?"
Ye Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, just for such a short time, Dai Yazhi actually observed so carefully, wasn't she the detective who did it before?
But Guan Xiao was afraid that Dai Yazhi would make trouble again, and now it was the middle of the night, and it would be even worse to lure the neighbors out again.
"You're not finished, I say it's okay, it's okay!"
Guan Xiao, who has always been polite to people, went crazy this time, pushed her mother away, and ran upstairs directly.
Dai Yazhi turned to Guan Xiao and shouted, wanting to catch up, but he still stopped, looked at Ye Yuan and threatened viciously: "No matter what happens, I warn you, stay away from my daughter!"
Ye Yuan watched Dai Yazhi go home, and his mobile phone rang at the same time, and when he saw it, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
