After that, every time they talked on the phone, in addition to business, they also talked about some personal matters. When they are fine, the two will occasionally make a phone call to greet each other. This greeting is sometimes during the day, but slowly, there will be evening times.

"I just came back from Osaka today, and the cherry blossoms are blooming again, it's really beautiful!" Chu Mingzhu's voice was full of childish excitement.

Qiu Yan was sitting in the living room of the villa, watching the news on the hour in the evening, and talking to Chu Mingzhu on the phone.

"Then did you go to Tennoji Temple?" Since you are going to see the cherry blossoms at the vendors, Tennoji usually has to stop by for a walk.

Chu Mingzhu's voice immediately added a little more childlike excitement: "Go." It's just a pity that you're not here, otherwise, you'd be happy. ”

The corners of Qiu Yan's mouth curved: "Why?"

"There are so many beautiful women there, I can see that I drool. As he spoke, Chu Mingzhu really swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Qiu Yan heard the sound of swallowing saliva on the phone, and couldn't help wiping a little sweat - this girl, it's really a gender misalignment!

"You're a woman, what kind of saliva do you see a beautiful woman?" Qiu Yan asked with puzzlement, and even with a little playfulness.

Chu Mingzhu was very disapproving: "Why aren't women allowed to drool when they see beautiful women?"

Qiu Yan secretly said "freak", but his mouth complimented: "Why do you want to look at beautiful women, why do you go to Osaka?

Chu Mingzhu, as before, was not shy when he heard such words, but on the contrary, he took it for granted with a look of enjoyment: "Ben Qianjin is looking at it!"

Qiu Yan was sweating wildly, and he couldn't take it anymore, so he had to say, "Is there any drooling then?"

Chu Mingzhu replied honestly: "It's not flowing! I've seen too much, I'm aesthetically tired!"

Qiu Yan provoked her casually: "Then try to change to a beautiful man and see if you can transfer it." ”

Chu Mingzhu "cut" disappreciatively: "How can a beautiful man be as good-looking as a beautiful woman, if you want to have no breasts, you want to have no waist." ”

Qiu Yan was a little stimulated: "You haven't never seen a man's luoti, right? Beautiful men have no breasts or waists, but there are other parts that beautiful women don't have." ”

These words were a bit colorful, and Chu Mingzhu couldn't take it anymore, so he had to say stiffly: "This daughter is not interested!"

Qiu Yan almost imagined that he had teased her, and said, "You're interested if you taste it." However, it was too much, and he swallowed it anyway.

For a moment, there was a brief silence and embarrassment on the phone between the two.

"Actually... Actually, I want to land in this city today. Chu Mingzhu's voice suddenly became a little different, and his words were a little sluggish.

Qiu Yan was still watching TV: "Oh, is there something wrong here?

Chu Mingzhu paused for a few seconds before he replied weakly: "No, today is my birthday! Dad was sick and recuperating abroad, and Mom was with Dad. ”

After a pause, she suddenly regained her cheerful appearance: "It's nothing, I don't like birthdays in the first place, I've been used to not letting friends accompany me in the past few years." When a woman is older, she doesn't like to celebrate her birthday. ”

Qiu Yan's body sat up straight all of a sudden, and his eyes took off the TV screen.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your birthday. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's only nine o'clock in the evening, and your birthday hasn't passed yet, right?"

Chu Mingzhu didn't know why, and nodded: "Hmm." What's wrong?"

"Then you wait, I'll accompany you!" Qiu Yan stood up.

Chu Mingzhu was wearing home clothes, half-lying on the bed in his bedroom, and when he heard Qiu Yan's words, he also sat up straight.

"Why are you going to stay with me? You just rush to the airport now, and it's too late. ”

"Why do I have to be by your side to accompany you? I'll hang up first, so I won't talk about it. ”

An hour and a half later

The aunt at home knocked on Chu Mingzhu's bedroom door: "Miss Mingzhu, Miss Mingzhu! Someone sent a birthday cake! Did you order it? Didn't you say that this year is not a birthday?"

Chu Mingzhu immediately jumped up from the bed, "The cake is mine! Let that person bring it in!" As he spoke, he ran downstairs with some exaggeration.

Soon, the phone rang.

"It's too rushed, and I don't have time to arrange it. Did you receive the cake and flowers? Do you like it?"

As soon as Chu Mingzhu heard that someone had sent a birthday cake, he guessed that it must have been sent by Qiu Yan, and he was very excited. But when I saw the white lilies that were sent with the birthday cake, I was slightly disappointed.

"Well, I got it! I like it!" Although she was a little disappointed, she was still happy in her heart.

"Since I'm celebrating your birthday, why do I have to eat a piece of your birthday cake. ”

Chu Mingzhu was a little confused: "Ah, the cake is with me, do you have such a long tongue?"

Qiu Yan secretly scolded "stupid", "You are online now!"

Chu Mingzhu was very obedient, immediately put down her mobile phone, entered her bedroom with a birthday cake in her hand, and then ran to the studio to move her laptop in. After closing the bedroom door and going online, I connected to a video call with Qiu Yan.

It turned out that Qiu Yan also ordered a birthday cake on his side.

"I'm in a hurry this year, I'll have a good birthday with you next year! ”

Chu Mingzhu immediately threw aside the slight unhappiness when he saw the white lily just now, and said excitedly: "Well, it's ready." ”

The two lit all the candles on the birthday cake together. After singing birthday songs, making wishes, blowing out candles and other fixed ceremonies, the two cut the birthday cake together, and then chatted while eating the cake in front of the video.

"Wait, I've got a birthday present for you. Qiu Yan said as he put down the birthday cake in his hand.

Chu Mingzhu was eating the cake and asked at the laptop screen, "What kind of gift?" If you buy something from any shopping mall, I'm not rare." ”

"I know you're not uncommon. However, when I take it out, you are not allowed to laugh at me. ”

Chu Mingzhu's curiosity was seriously aroused, and he didn't eat the cake, so he kept staring at the laptop screen with expectant eyes: "I promise not to laugh! But, you won't make a handmade rag doll for me, right? I didn't like rag dolls since I was a child." ”

Qiu Yan made an arched gesture at the laptop screen: "I said President Chu, even if you like rag dolls, I don't have the ability to make a rag doll for you as a big man." ”

"Then go and show me the gift you gave me. Chu Mingzhu was a little impatient.

The more anxious Chu Mingzhu is, the less anxious Qiu Yan is, "If you say something nice, I'll go get it!"

As always, Qiu Yan wanted to tease Chu Mingzhu, and Chu Mingzhu would also tease him in turn.

Her eyes widened, and her mouth quickly said, "Nice, nice, nice." I said three things, you have to prepare three gifts for me. ”

Qiu Yan was tricked by her, but considering that today was Miss Chu's birthday, he kindly didn't continue this kind of teasing with each other. He only said, "Your nice sound is repetitive, so I only give one gift." ”

Chu Mingzhu immediately said: "It's good, it's good, it's very, very good." This time the three sentences are different, shouldn't you give me three different gifts?"

Qiu Yan was a little out of temper because of Chu Daqian's oiliness, but he has never been a man who will be led by the nose, especially when facing women.

"No matter how much trouble there is, there is not a single one. ”

As soon as Qiu Yan's side was tough, Chu Mingzhu's side immediately behaved, and he was a little coquettish in a rare way.

"Okay, I'm not going to make a fuss. Hurry up and get it. ”

Qiu Yan left the screen for the time being. After a while, he came over with something less than a foot tall in his hand, which was still covered with a piece of purple silk.

"You close your eyes first!"

Chu Mingzhu was a little unhappy, but he was looking forward to it more and more, "Do you want to close your eyes?"

Qiu Yan was not very happy, this woman was really disobedient, so she said a little fiercely: "Shut it up!"

"Okay. Chu Mingzhu listened again and closed his eyes very obediently.

"My name is 1, 2, 3, and you can't open your eyes until 3. ”

"Good. Chu Mingzhu behaved for the third time in a row for the first time in history.

"1, 2, 3, you can open your eyes. ”

Chu Mingzhu opened his eyes with curiosity and anticipation, and what appeared on the laptop screen was a charcoal drawing, although the lines were simple, but at first glance it was her.

Her eyes immediately widened: "Ah, Qiu Yan, it turns out that you can also paint?"

When Qiu Yan heard this, he was quite unhappy: "What do you mean that I can also paint? Do you think that among the men in the world, only Xiao Tian can paint?"

Chu Mingzhu was a little embarrassed, the meaning of the "also" in her words just now was indeed because she knew that Xiao Tian could draw, and he could draw quite well. She had pestered Xiao Tian several times before, wanting to beg him to paint her a sketch or oil painting, but Xiao Tian just wouldn't paint her.

Chu Mingzhu was so happy that she almost cried, "Qiu Yan, you are really good! I like to die! This is the best birthday gift I have ever received!"

Chu Mingzhu was so moved, which made Qiu Yan feel a little surprised, but it was more satisfied.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a gentle smile: "If you like it, don't die!"

Chu Mingzhu pressed down a little bit of excitement and asked, "When can I get my birthday gift?"

Qiu Yan shook his finger at the screen: "What about this painting, it's just that I made up a number of drawings for you in a hurry, and when I have time in the next two days, I will send you a more delicate painting." ”

Since he knew that today was Chu Mingzhu's birthday, he only had an hour to prepare a birthday gift for her. After thinking about it, with Chu Mingzhu's identity, it was too difficult to find something that could really make her look at it in such a short period of time.

What could she not have for a woman like her?
