Chapter 21: Birthday Surprise
On his twenty-second birthday, Jian Chi made an appointment with Rong Xi to meet at the school gate, preparing to live a good two-person world on this day
But she didn't expect that when she walked to the door, she didn't see Rong Xi, but saw Yan Wenqian leaning in front of the door of his Cadillac, looking at her with a smile on his face
She ran to him in surprise and asked, "Brother Wen Qian, why are you here?"
Yan Wenqian scratched her nose and said, "Mom asked me to pick you up and take you to the hotel to celebrate! You only cared about spending your birthday with your boyfriend in the first two years, and you didn't care about us, so it's going to be our turn this year, right?"
Jian Chi pulled his arm and coquettishly said: "Oh, I'm not afraid that he won't be familiar with you, and everyone will be embarrassed."
"Then you've been talking for three years, you can always meet this year, are you familiar with it?" Yan Wenqian bowed his head and said to her: "We also want to see how good the young man is, he has hooked our Jian Bao's soul, and even abandoned us with a boyfriend."
Jian Chi patted his arm and said shyly, "What did you say! Who was hooked...... However, when you see him, you know that he is really nice!"
When the two were holding hands and talking and laughing, Rong Xi's voice came from the side: "Jian Chi!"
Jian Chi turned around and saw that Rong Xi was holding a large bouquet of bright red roses in his hand, still in a white shirt and black slacks, and the whole person was standing a few steps away from them refreshingly
Seeing Jian Chi looking back, Rong Xi's face also had a rare excitement and nameless nervousness
Jian Chi immediately let go of his hand, ran over, hugged him tightly, buried his head in his chest, and didn't speak for a long time
has been in love for three years, because she knows that Rong Xi's family is not good, she has never been to any high-end restaurants with him, or has had any big consumption
She felt sorry for him and often had to rely on part-time jobs to earn his living expenses and tuition, so he never asked for anything on his birthday, and forcefully asked him not to buy gifts of more than 20 yuan
But now, Rong Xi appeared with this bouquet of roses, which may mean that he will have to cut back on food and clothing for the next month, but he still does it
Rong Xi hugged Jian Chi, who was obviously about to cry on his chest, patted her on the back and said, "Happy birthday!
Jian Chi hugged him and was reluctant to let go, and he didn't speak, just kept nodding
Rong Xi said helplessly: "I knew it would make you cry, so I wouldn't buy it, just buy two cauliflower flowers for you."
Jian Chi burst into tears and laughed, let go of his hand, left his embrace and said, "Aren't cauliflower white?
Rong Xi couldn't help but smile, raised his eyes and saw Yan Wenqian coming over, and nodded to him, very friendly
He handed the flower to Jian Chi and said in the direction of Yan Wenqian, "Won't you introduce me?"
Jian Chi then remembered Yan Wenqian on the side, hugged the flower tightly with one hand, wiped the tears from his face a few times with the other, wiped away the tears on his face, took Rong Xi's hand and walked to him and said, "Brother Wenqian, this is my boyfriend Rong Xi"
"Rong Xi, this is my cousin Yan Wenqian"
"Hello" Yan Wenqian smiled and shook Rong Xi's hand, and then said, "I've heard Jian Bao mention you a long time ago, and I haven't had a chance to meet."
Rong Xi put his arm around Jian Chi's shoulder and said, "She probably thinks I'm not good-looking, so I'm embarrassed, right?"
"How come, you will always be the most handsome in my mind" Jian Chi denied it loudly, and the words blurted out made her feel embarrassed again
Rong Xi hurriedly reassured her and said, "I'm just joking"
Yan Wenqian saw Jian Chi's expression that was not funny with this joke, and he was a little emotional, Jian Bao, who they loved the most, had really grown up, and look, he would coax people a lot
"Today is Jian Bao's birthday, we haven't celebrated Jian Bao for two years, my parents want me to bring Jian Bao this year anyway, I sincerely invite you to come, I don't know if you would like to help Jian Bao celebrate her birthday with us?" Yan Wenqian asked Rong Xi with a smile
Rong Xi looked at Jian Chi, she was looking at him expectantly, she must have hoped that he could be with them, thinking of the surprise he had prepared tonight, he readily agreed
The three of them arrived at the Xuanyue Hotel together, Rong Xi frowned inadvertently, this is the most exclusive hotel in G City, and he only has two thousand yuan in his card, I don't know if it is enough to wait for the checkout?
In the largest box in the hotel, Yan Wenli sat on the seat and played with his mobile phone, Yan Huazhi and Lan Xinyan were looking forward to it, Yan Wenqian pushed the door open, and the two got up at the same time to greet them
Jian Chi rushed in from the door, threw himself into Lan Xinyan's arms, and shouted: "Uncle!" Seeing Yan Huazhi next to him, who was also excited, he hugged him and shouted: "Uncle!"
"I'll see, how much weight have I lost?" Yan Huazhi pulled her away and looked her up and down for a long time, "Well, it's okay, I'm not thin, my face is quite good"
Jian Chi turned around and said, "I'm not thin, I'm still two pounds heavier."
Yan Wenli lazily said: "The nourishment of love"
Jian Chi was a little embarrassed, and asked rhetorically: "You haven't been nourished by love, how do you know?"
"Heh, the sour smell of love is not uncommon," Yan Wenli replied to her with a sneer
Yan Wenqian and Rong Xi, who was holding flowers, walked in from outside, Jian Chi hurriedly went over, pulled Rong Xi and introduced: "Uncle, aunt, this is my boyfriend Rong Xi." ”
"Rongxi, this is my uncle and aunt who love me the most, and the one over there is my second cousin, Yan Wenli"
"Little cousin, not second cousin, I'm not two. Hello, Rong Xi, it's nice to meet you" Yan Wenli stood up and waved at Rong Xi and sat back down
Rong Xi smiled and said hello to Yan Huazhi and Lan Xinyan very respectfully: "Hello uncle and aunt, I took the liberty to disturb me."
"No, no, we've heard Jian Bao mention it many times, saying that you are a very good child, and today I finally met the real person, the young man is great" Yan Huazhi patted him on the shoulder with a smile
"Dad, Mom, let Jian Bao and Rong Xi both sit, don't stand, I'll call the kitchen to serve food," Yan Wenqian reminded
"Yes, yes, sit down, you see we are really overjoyed, standing here for a long time" Lan Xinyan smiled and pulled Jian Chi to sit next to her,
Rong Xi put the flowers aside and sat down next to Jian Chi
After the dishes were served, Lan Xinyan sandwiched a piece of steak to Jian Chi and said, "Your favorite steak since you were a child has the same taste as the chef in S City, try it."
"Well, it's delicious! I haven't eaten it in a long time, and I really can't eat it. Thank you, aunt,"
Jian Chi lowered his head and sniffed it, saliva was about to run down, picked up a knife and fork and cut a piece and put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed a few times, and exaggeratedly shouted: "It's delicious"
"Eat more if it's delicious, and your favorite seafood, your task today is to eat them all," Yan Huazhi said with a smile
"Obey the order!Guarantee to complete the task!" Jian Chi saluted with a knife, almost didn't poke his face, fortunately, Rong Xi, who was sitting next to him, was quick and pulled her hand, otherwise he would see blood
Jian Chi looked at him reproachfully, stuck out his tongue, and whispered, "Thank you, I'll be careful next time"
After finishing speaking, he happily ate the steak, not noticing that Rong Xi's eyes were full of sadness
She has loved steak since she was a child, but she has never mentioned it in front of him, she loves seafood, but every time she eats barbecue, she orders the cheapest vegetarian dishes, and she has never seen those seafoods
Maybe, maybe when he couldn't see, she secretly drooled over those seafood, but she didn't want his hard-earned money to be used on it, so in front of him, she turned a blind eye to those expensive things
Rong Xi's hand on his knee clenched violently, accidentally touching the box in his trouser pocket, his heart hurt, this surprise seemed to become a joke, laughing at his inadequacy
Jian Chi's mouth was stuffed with shrimp meat, turned his head to look at Rong Xi, and said vaguely, "Rong Xi, why don't you eat it?"
Rong Xi smiled and said, "Eat, I see that you eat so hard, I want you to eat more."
Yan Wenli saw Jian Chi's bulging cheeks, and couldn't help but complain about her: "Jian Bao, look at your appearance, haven't you eaten in eight hundred years? Be careful to scare your boyfriend away!"
"I won't be grinning" Jian Chi swallowed the shrimp meat in his mouth vigorously, hugged Rong Xi's hand and said, "No matter what I look like, he will not dislike me"
Rong Xi turned his head to look at her, his face was as doting as usual, and his eyes were full of the most beautiful light in the world
Yan Wenqian and Yan Wenli held their hands in front of them at the same time, shouting: "Oh, someone is spilling dog food, it's too bullying."
Lan Xinyan looked at the picture of Jian Chi and Rong Xi looking at each other, and glanced at each other with Yan Huazhi, and was very relieved
Rong Xi, who found an excuse to sneak out, walked to the cashier, and said nervously: "Splendid China Box pays the bill, please help me calculate the amount"
The waiter at the cashier showed a surprised smile and said, "The Splendid China Box is reserved for our chairman, and there is no need to settle, are you mistaken?"
Rong Xi was stunned for a moment: "The box reserved by the chairman? Are you sure?"
"That's right, Mr. Yan Huazhi, our chairman, is going to celebrate his niece's birthday today, or is it a ...... specially ordered by General Manager Yan Wenqian"
Rong Xi said, "Oh, maybe I made a mistake, thank you" and then walked stiffly in the direction of the box with heavy steps
Halfway through, he picked up speed and rushed into the bathroom
In the quiet bathroom, Rong Xi hid in the last compartment, trembling and taking out the box in his pants pocket and holding it tightly in the palm of his hand
The box opened, and inside was a small silver ring, which was the birthday present he wanted to give to Jian Chi.
He wanted to see her smile every day, to wake up every morning and see her sleeping face, and to see her smiling face cheering for him for the first time when he earned his first pot of gold
He wants to have all of her, he wants to give her full love, even if he eats the cheapest meal together and has her smiling face to accompany him, which is the happiest food in the world
But he didn't think about what Jian Chi's growth environment was like since she was a child, and her favorite things to eat were not what he thought she was, she was as considerate as her, but she was accommodating him
Rong Xi covered her face in pain, tears flowed down her fingers, Rong Xi, what qualifications do you have to let a girl who loves you so much live a poor and miserable life with you?
