110. Happy birthday, or happy death day?
At the beginning of winter, there was no snow in the north, but in this ordinary time, there was an extraordinary thing.
"Your birthday...... It seems to be coming. β
The night was damp and cold, and his voice was wrapped in the damp wind, a little soft and muffled.
At this time, the two of them were walking on the sheep intestine path, and they were going to have supper. Eating spicy tang in winter warms the spleen and stomach, and the tongue is refreshing.
Tang Li was thinking about whether to eat rich bone broth this time, or tomato sweet and sour soup base, and when she heard him talk about his birthday, she subconsciously blurted out: "It's tomorrow!"
After saying that, a cold sweat fell. I remembered afterwards that she was no longer Ge Li, she was not born in October, and she was not the 26-year-old daughter (son) of the chaebol group.
Now she is 23-year-old Tang Li, born in November.
Why did Qi Rongxuan suddenly ask her if she had a recent birthday? Does he know something?
Qi Rongxuan...... was silent, and seeing the girl in front of him uncontrollably nervous and flustered, his heart slowly tightened.
What he fears most is hurting her and making her nervous and scared, and he can't bear it......
So he changed his words: "I heard Mrs. Yu say that your birthday is October 11th, isn't it?"
How could Tang Li know that this man was afraid that she would be nervous, so he deliberately said the wrong date.
Tang Li didn't think much about it, and when he heard the doubts in his tone, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile resurfaced on his face, "You remember wrong, my birthday is on November 11th, Singles' Day, have you remembered?"
He hummed lowly, "Hopefully, by then, you won't need to celebrate Singles' Day." β
Tang Li teased: "But Singles' Day, is it Valentine's Day?"
"If you want," he said earnestly, "I'll be with you." β
Tang Li's breath stagnated for a while, and then he returned to normal, "Mr. Qi's Valentine's Day, give it out so easily." β
Is it ironic that he is too casual and sloppy? Qi Rongxuan was a little anxious and explained: "I only treat you, and I only follow you. β
Tang Li's cheeks were hot, and she ...... Originally, she just wanted to skip the topic of birthday, wanting him to forget that she had just said "tomorrow" while clarifying that it was "November 11th", and not giving him a chance to ask "since it was November 11th, why did you say it was tomorrow".
Her topic was successfully transferred, but unexpectedly, she brought herself into an embarrassing situation.
How fat is this Qi Rongxuan, I haven't seen him so eager before, hasn't he always been cold and detached, and his words are concise and subtle.
And she now knows why his old father is seriously ill, and the eldest brother is about to fight for power, and he can replace him at any time, but he still wants to come to Lin City.
It was because of her birthday that she came overnight.
She has not experienced this kind of thing, and it doesn't make her moved.
She changed the subject again: "Let's go, the store will close later." "Well, she wants to eat a fragrant bone broth Malatang to cool down! Add ingredients, add chicken wings! Add pigeon eggs! Add beef offal! Add pig blood!
Tang Li kindly took care of Qi Rongxuan's taste and knew that he couldn't eat spicy food, so he ordered him a non-spicy one. I didn't want him to take the initiative to say: "Since it's spicy, there's no point in not being spicy." Bring me a spicy one. β
Speaking of which, he hadn't eaten any of the non-nutritious things outside.
Since he was with her, he followed her and touched many things that he couldn't look down on before, which were not very healthy and nutritious.
Tang Li, who inadvertently led the big guy crooked, didn't notice it, but felt that this big guy didn't have a good face, and often followed her to eat and drink.
She is obviously not a rich person, especially when she started a company and the economy has tightened, she really can't invite him to eat many good things.
Since you want to eat it, you have to eat spicy tang together. Tang Li saw that he volunteered to eat spicy food, and looked at him with the eyes of a monster, the last time he was in the seafood hot pot, he was so spicy that he couldn't speak, that beautiful picture is still fresh in his memory.
"Are you sure you want it to be spicy?" Tang Li raised an eyebrow at him.
Qi Rongxuan nodded, there is no spicy spicy hot, there is no meaning. It's like milk tea doesn't have pearls, it has no soul.
Although the big guy resolutely wanted to try the spicy taste, Tang Li still took good care of him and told the boss to give him a slightly spicy one.
Qi Rongxuan looked down at the paper towels littered on the inferior brick floor, the wrought iron chair with peeling paint, and the wrinkled and broken artificially made inferior leather sofa, and his handsome eyebrows frowned.
Helplessly, Tang Li seemed to be unaware and pulled him to sit down in the dilapidated double leather chair.
Qi Rongxuan: "......" was inexplicably a little restless, and his butt did not dare to directly touch the inferior cushion.
But seeing her sitting next to him, Qi Rongxuan decided...... Endure it.
The shop was apparently a long-established shop, and the owner cooked quickly and skillfully, but it didn't take long for the hot, spicy soup to be served.
Tang Li watched the cooked meatballs and sliced sausages float on them, and the red and fragrant chili oil sprinkled on the cooked rice noodles, Tang Li's index finger moved, and he was salivating.
It's also great to eat hot spicy tang in the cold winter!
She is also familiar with Qi Rongxuan, at this time she is not as reserved as she was at the beginning, she didn't wait for him to start, she immediately swept the clouds, and when she finished a big bowl of spicy hot, she sucked the last rice noodle, leaving only half a bowl of fragrant and spicy soup, took a sip, let out a comfortable sigh, put down the dishes and chopsticks, she lay on her back on the backrest, and stroked her full stomach.
raised his eyes, but saw Qi Rongxuan's face red and red ears, and he kept drinking a can of herbal tea.
Glancing at the soup powder in his bowl, huh...... I only ate 2/10, and the can of herbal tea at hand was already empty.
Seeing that he reached over and was about to touch Tang Li's jar of herbal tea that had not yet been opened, Tang Li Shi asked sarcastically, "Is it so spicy?"
Qi Rongxuan's face was red, his eyes were moist, and he was so hot that he almost had a snot and tears.
He asked with difficulty, "Are you ...... What level of spiciness?" He guessed that it must be above medium spicy, close to high spicy.
Tang Li saw through his thoughts at a glance, immediately smiled, and replied lightly: "Slightly spicy." β
Qi Rongxuan stumbled and almost bumped into the dining table.
"It's just ...... Is it spicy?" he was confused, surprised, and couldn't believe it.
The big guy, who has always been noble and cold, showed such a down-to-earth expression for the first time, and Tang Li felt an indescribable sense of pleasure in his heart.
Happily handed him the herbal tea. Qi Rongxuan couldn't care about his image and face at this time, and he couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth as soon as he opened the can.
Unexpectedly, he was too thirsty, Qi Rongxuan was suddenly choked, and he coughed desperately in an instant.
Tang Li hurriedly walked behind him, patted him on the back, and asked the boss to get some melon and fruit milk to relieve him of spicy, although this spicy can toss him like this, it is a little funny, but she understands that some people can't touch spicy, and their ability to accept spicy is too low.
The cantaloupe juice was squeezed, mixed with milk and crushed ice, Qi Rongxuan took a few sips, and the hot and scorching feeling in his mouth was finally relieved.
Tang Li handed him a tissue at the right time, saw Qi Rongxuan wiping his eyes, and then pulled another one and pressed his nose, this appearance of him is too vivid and vivid, and he is like two people who were solemn and strict in the past.
Tang Li sighed, if Secretary Zheng knew, he was afraid that he would scold her to death, and he would actually toss his family's seventh master like this.
"Mr. Qi, it's my fault tonight, I know that you can't eat spicy food, and I still brought you to this kind of place. I make amends to you. Tang Li restrained his smile and said seriously.
Qi Rongxuan shook his head, coughed lightly, and whispered: "I don't blame you, you ordered non-spicy for me, I want to try spicy for myself." β
"Anyway, I won't bring you to a place like this again. Tang Li apologized and admitted his mistake very simply.
"Such a place?" Qi Rongxuan was puzzled.
What kind of place is this? He didn't dislike it, but she belittled it like this.
Tang Li smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's also strange that I'm short of money now, and I can't afford to spend that money to invite you to eat high-end meals with a four-figure per capita, so I let you follow me to such a small restaurant that doesn't match your identity, which really makes you condescend." β
"No," Qi Rongxuan said, "I never felt that I had to go to a high-end restaurant to be worthy of my identity, and I never felt that I had any great identity." It's just ordinary people, and since they're all ordinary people, how can they have a meal and be superior?"
"Huh?" Tang Li was stunned. The feeling he gave her has always been that it is a kaolin flower that does not eat the fireworks of the world, noble and cold, unattainable. The first time she heard him say "what is the difference between you and I are mortals", she was dumbfounded.
"What's the matter, am I not right?" he looked sideways, his calm eyes sparkling.
Tang Li came back to his senses and pulled away a smile, "You're right, I just didn't expect you to say that." Uh, I'm ...... Sure enough, I still don't know enough about you. β
She smiled reluctantly, she must have listened to too many rumors, and she was ashamed to label him, based on the preconceived impression of rumors, so she would be like this...... In this way, he is noble and cold, and does not succumb to ordinary fireworks.
Misunderstanding others, Tang Li felt uncomfortable, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry......"
He raised his hand, "No need to apologize, you are with me, never need to apologize." "The person who is favored does not need to apologize, and the person who is favored has nothing to fear.
Tang Li was stunned, a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.
He looked around at the environment that made him frown and sit still, and said honestly: "Although I don't have the idea of superiority and vanity and despise cheap food, I still feel that this environment is ...... Not quite good for dining......"
Tang Li's sense of apology vanished, and he squinted at him, and sure enough, he still said so! I knew that it was impossible for him not to dislike it.
was about to make fun of him a few words, but suddenly his voice weakened, "It's just, no matter how bad the environment is, as long as I have you by my side, even if I eat dregs......
Tang Li was stunned!
"Thank you for inviting me to supper, I had a delicious supper with you. The corners of his lips curled quietly.
Tang Li: "!!" looked at him in shock, and a voice in his heart shouted, big man, you have changed!
You weren't like this before!!How did a stupid and reserved person become so deep in a short period of time...... Isn't it right, it's become so flamboyant??
There was brainstorming inside, and the surface was light, as if mocking but not mocking, "Mr. Qi has been studying and improving recently." β
Then asked: "Presumably, you should have finished reading the whole book of "Teach You to Fall in Love"?"
"Uh......" Qi Rongxuan was a little unnatural and said, "I...... It's been a long time since I've read that book. β
Tang Li stared at him, "Didn't you use that book as a textbook before, why did you abandon it now?"
Qi Rongxuan pursed his lips: "Because that book is very routine, it's all a little trick." β
Tang Li nodded, and was about to praise him for reflecting, but he knew that book was a scumbag book!
Before she could say it, he said again: "Because of the routine, it is not sincere, only if you have true affection and sincerity to you, can you be worthy of you." β
Tang Li: The roots of the ears of the "......" are red.
Annoyed: "You're still finished!"
Seeing that she was angry, Qi Rongxuan didn't know the situation, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"
Seeing his innocent and sincere appearance, Tang Li really couldn't get angry.
"You're talking a lot tonight, it's really ......" is very ...... Tang Li was inexplicably angry and annoyed. If she hadn't known that he was this cold and disdainful character who played tricks, she would probably have kicked him as a scumbag trying to steal his heart.
wanted to lose her temper with him, but his innocent and unpretentious expression made her angry even if she wanted to, let alone do anything to him, she was really aggrieved.
Tang Li ignored him, walked to the side of the street by himself, opened the car door and sat in.
Qi Rongxuan hurriedly followed, with an unconcealed scorch in his eyes, and wanted to hold her hand, but he put it back.
"You...... Don't be angry, I won't talk about it in the future, okay?"
Tang Li turned his head and glared at him, "I just want to know, why do you have to say that to me, do you want to see my embarrassment, is it funny? β
Qi Rongxuan was asked harshly by her anger, his long eyelashes drooped, "I didn't mean to, I just ...... Beside oneself. β
I can't help it, I can't restrain myself, and I want to confide in you.
"If that would make it difficult for you, I'll shut up and say no more. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and no expression could be seen, for the change in his tone became more and more distinct.
He is lost, he is apologetic.
Tang Li's inexplicable anger suddenly disappeared. She began to panic and feel uneasy, why was she so angry? Since she was a child, she was teased by boys and confessed because of her outstanding appearance, and the list goes on.
These actions alone are recorded with a pen, and probably the entire book cannot be memorized.
She has long been accustomed to being noticed, loved, and confessed...... But why did she feel ashamed and angry when she faced him?
Because he was shy, he was annoyed and lost his temper with him...... Tang Li's heart skipped a beat, could it be that she cared about him?
Tang Li suddenly covered his head, no! I can't think about it anymore, that result is too dangerous......
Tang Li quickly calmed himself down, and immediately apologized for his behavior just now. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you...... I'm sorry. β
Qi Rongxuan subconsciously said: "You will never need to apologize in front of me." Also, I'd like you to lose your temper with me......"
As soon as the words came out, seeing Tang Li's wide eyes, Qi Rongxuan immediately realized that he had said that kind of thing again, and said hurriedly: "I, I didn't mean to, I won't say it, don't be angry." β
Tang Li didn't dare to be angry anymore, and waved his hand, "It's okay, just say whatever you want." I'm going back, you can send me home first. β
Qi Rongxuan didn't dare to speak casually, and whispered "Okay".
β¦β¦
Late at night, in the short-term rental villa, the lights are bright, and the crystal chandelier is dazzling.
Fu Lianghua chuckled and thought to himself, the ancients said that looking at a beauty under the lamp is really more pleasing to the eye than usual. Even if the appearance is not high, under the soft white and bright light, the complexion looks softer and fairer than usual.
Gigiro was undoubtedly the best to learn, and she had been coming to his lodgings for the past few days to learn the basics of jewelry.
And once I learn, I don't stop until late at night.
Fu Lianghua's trip this time was very light, and he brought no more than five people, so naturally it was impossible to bring famous jewelry artists, and he couldn't find anyone who could teach Ji Qiluo, so Fu Lianghua had to teach him personally.
He thought that Ji Qiluo had been in the Yu family for so many years, influenced by the environment, and should have learned some basic jewelry knowledge.
Who knows, when she first taught her, she didn't even know the basics...... Fu Lianghua pinched his eyebrows in annoyance, to be honest, he hates wasting time doing things that are thankless and have low returns.
Knowing that Gikiro was zero-based, he wanted to throw off his sleeves and leave for a moment. But whenever he was impatient, he remembered Tang Li's beautiful and arrogant little face...... Fu Lianghua suddenly had the motivation to continue.
He wanted to teach Ji Qiluo well, train her, let her grow up quickly, transform gorgeously, and fight against that little wild cat.
Thinking of her dilemma of being dealt with to the point where she was unable to fight back and was in a dilemma, looking at her delicate and cold little face showed despair and decadence...... Just thinking about it, his blood boiled all over his body, and the kind of enthusiasm and excitement seemed to burn his whole body.
It's been a long time...... It's been too long, and since Ge Li's death, his heart has been as silent as stagnant water, without waves.
Finally, he met a woman who could make his heart throb, and he felt that he was not as empty as the walking dead before.
His life at this time gradually became a little fresher, and he paid attention to her very much and wanted to get her attention.
He dealt with her, saying that he was bored or naΓ―ve, and he himself knew that his heart had been silent for too long, and that he had finally gotten a "toy", and he naturally had to play with it when he was still interested.
Gikiro actually knew that he had a heart for using him, but she didn't care what the purpose was. She wanted to ...... As long as there is a chance to stay with him, no matter what the reason, she wants to desperately seize it.
Tonight, her seventh night, studied in his villa. Can't always ...... It's been seven days, and there has to be a breakthrough.
Tonight, she must find a chance to stay. Just as she was thinking, her figure shook for a moment, and suddenly she held on to the table and squatted down helplessly.
"I'm dizzy......"
Before she finished speaking, Fu Lianghua's mobile phone rang.
Fu Lianghua looked at the "witch sister-in-law" displayed on the screen, and immediately looked at it, threw away Ji Qiluo, and walked to the window to listen to the phone.
As soon as the phone was picked up, the joyful and enthusiastic voice of the witch sister-in-law came, "Uncle, after the early hours of the morning, it is the birthday of the eldest lady." Are you in Europe now, can you be with the eldest lady? The witch sister misses the eldest lady and wants to say happy birthday to her in person!"
