Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dinner and Cake
Jin Mei's body recovered well, and she was able to talk to Wen Xun as usual on the second day of surgery. She knew that Wen Xun's end of the semester was approaching, and she also knew that Jiang Xiangyang had gone back to City B, so she began to keep urging Wen Xun to go back to school to study, which made Wen Xun helpless and feel a lot more at ease.
In the end, Wen Xun only stayed with him in City C for two more days before returning to school.
When I returned to school, the time rushed by like a clockwork, changing day and night, and the week passed very quickly. Wen Xun still called home from time to time, in order to reassure her, Jin Mei chatted with her for a long time every time, but Wen Xun was worried that he would affect his mother's rest, so he didn't dare to make so many calls.
On this day, Wen Xun, who had been in the library all day, stretched her waist, moved her neck again, and picked up the mobile phone on the table with the screen facing down, and she saw many unread messages from different people.
Unsurprisingly, there was a "Happy Birthday" in those messages.
Yes, today is July 6th, her birthday. But for most of the people in this school, today was just an uneventful day in the annoying final revision month, and even for Wen Xun himself.
Jiang Xiangyang has been very busy recently, and there is definitely no way to celebrate her birthday. However, in the early hours of this morning, Wen Xun had already checked the small composition he sent on the small planet, and then slept well with satisfaction.
It seems that after a long time, they have gradually become accustomed to the days of gathering less and leaving more, and it has become very easy to be satisfied.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Replying to all kinds of messages received, and packing up the school supplies on the table, Wen Xun went out of the library with his bag on his back. She didn't go back to the dormitory directly, but went to the place where she picked up the courier to get the birthday gift Ruan Jingyu sent her. After taking the present, she went to the dormitory.
Before she could enter the door of the dormitory, Wen Xun's mobile phone vibrated again, and she took out her mobile phone to read the news, it was everyone in the information department who called her out to eat, and the original words were "Celebrate the birthday of our Minister Wen." ”
The previous minister had stepped down a few days ago, and now Wen Xun is the official minister. But she looked at the awkwardness of the title of "Minister Wen", especially when everyone wanted to celebrate her birthday, which made her feel as if she was using her position for personal gain.
Besides, she doesn't remember mentioning her birthday.
She took out her campus card and swiped the door of the dormitory building, and replied to everyone while walking to her dormitory, "Thank you for your kindness, but now is the review month, everyone is very busy and tired, don't bother, I received the heart!"
Everyone's news came up one by one, saying that they had already booked a place to eat, and it would be a waste if she didn't go.
Wen Xun saw that the matter could not be pushed off, so he had no choice but to respond, "Okay, then thank you." ”
After putting his things in the dormitory, Wen Xun set off to the restaurant they had booked. Everyone had already arrived, and Wen Xun was left in the middle position, which made her suddenly remember that she was squeezed by her senior sister because she accidentally sat in this position when she was a freshman. Now that she's a minister, is she qualified to sit in this position?
She was not happy about her "promotion", but thought - I don't know when this kind of bureaucracy will disappear in the campus and even in society, but now it has penetrated into every aspect of everyone's life, and it is really difficult to eliminate.
During the meal, several members of the department seemed to be casual but actually talked with Wen Xun flatteringly, and one of them said to a sophomore girl at the same level as Wen Xun, "Or Ye Lin said that today is the minister's birthday, and we just knew." ”
Wen Xun's gaze moved to Ye Lin's face, he just smiled awkwardly at Wen Xun, it seemed that he should really just mention it casually at that time, this dinner was also unexpected by him.
After all, it was the person sitting in the center, and Wen Xun had to be toasted a few glasses of wine. Fortunately, she was not a person who couldn't help but be persuaded, and after feeling that she was drunk, she said that she would not drink anything. Everyone has seen how Wen Xun replied to He Xian in the group, so they didn't dare to persuade her when they saw that she really didn't want to drink.
- Speaking of He Xian, she didn't come to today's dinner. It's not that she couldn't say it herself, but that several organizers of the dinner acquiesced in Wen Xun's disappointment to seeing He Xian, so they didn't notify He Xian to come over at all.
After finally ending this difficult birthday party, Wen Xun didn't choose to go with anyone, and took the subway back to school by himself. After getting off the subway, the evening breeze of the summer night blew, and the smell of wine on her body seemed to be taken away, not so uncomfortable, but her steps were still a little shaky.
When people are not very conscious, their emotions will be more fragile, and when they walked into the dormitory building and climbed the stairs step by step, Wen Xun somehow wanted to cry. She remembered her eighteenth birthday when she didn't come to City B, the grand and warm birthday banquet her parents gave her at that time, the mobile phone that Jiang Xiangyang gave her and recorded fingerprints on the mobile phone, and Jiang Xiangyang said to her, "Wen Xun, happy adulthood." ”
Before she knew it, she had been an adult for two years. But in retrospect, it really felt like it was just a blink.
Wen Xun walked to the door of his bedroom, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. When she entered the house, the first thing that caught her eye was the small birthday cake on her table and the flickering candle flame on the cake. The candle flame jumped into her eye, swaying with her eyes.
"Wen Xun, Happy Birthday!" Xu Huairou stood up from her position, and smelled the smell of wine as she approached Wen Xun. She frowned, not because she hated the smell of alcohol, but because she was worried that her surprise was too much. "You're out there for your birthday, and I want to have a little surprise for you...... Are you unable to eat cake now?"
Wen Xun's emotions reached their peak at this moment, she pursed her lips, and tears fell down her eyes.
This frightened Xu Huairou.
However, Wen Xun soon waved his hand and said vaguely, "No, Huairou, don't be nervous, I'm so happy." Your gift is 10,000 times better than the weird meal I had today, really. ”
And she didn't feel that she couldn't eat the cake at all, after all, she had been busy refusing to be toasted and greeting all kinds of people who were not very familiar with her, how could she really have time to fill her stomach. Now the little cake in front of me is the most real.
Seeing that Wen Xun slowly recovered his mood and stopped crying, Xu Huairou also smiled.
The sun was almost setting, and there were no lights on in the bedroom. The candle flame reflected Xu Huairou's face, and she seemed to be a little more gentle than she was. She pulled Wen Xun to sit down on a chair in front of the cake and said to her, "Make a wish." ”
Wen Xun folded his hands and made a little big wish in his heart - I hope that all the beautiful people in this world can meet good things.
After making a wish, she opened her eyes and vigorously blew out the candle.
