Chapter 303: Treasure Map
Xiao Ting's family birthday party began to enter the high stage with the cutting of the birthday cake, Xiao Ting faced a four-layer cake filled with 22 candles, her hands clasped together and her long eyelashes closed, but no one knew what kind of wish she made. Only Xiao Nan could find that Xiao Ting's expression when she made a wish was obviously not as serious and pious as when she blew out the candle of the single-layer small cake he bought in the private room yesterday.
Xiao Ting, who opened her eyes again, blew out all the candles in one breath, and then took the knife from Xia Longfei's hand, and in the blessings of all relatives and friends, just like dividing the circle evenly in a geometry course, cut the cake into small pieces and put it on the plate, and then personally handed it to every relative and friend present.
Although Xiaoting's family background is far from being called a wealthy family, it can be regarded as a rich petty bourgeoisie, and her relatives and friends are almost all figures of this class, and they must be disdainful of a few cakes on weekdays, but the meaning of their family's birthday cake is different, everyone wants to share a piece from Xiaoting's hands to stick to the joy, especially the bear children who love to join in the fun, and they are all hugging around Xiaoting's "aunt" and "sister", hoping that they can grab the biggest piece.
Xiao Nan was unconsciously squeezed to the periphery by Xiao Ting's relatives and friends, and coincidentally stood with Xia Longfei, obviously, this guy is not interested in cakes.
The two of them glanced at each other, but they didn't know what to say, Xia Longfei saw that Xiao Nan didn't have an empty plate containing the cake in his hand, so he took one from the table behind him and handed it over.
Xiao Nan smiled faintly and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it. Xia Longfei just wanted to say something when he saw her like this, and suddenly heard someone behind him calling him: "Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia!"
Xia Longfei turned his head and saw that it was Xiaoting's mother Liu Juan, who was standing beside Lao Qiao and beckoning to him at this time. This "Aunt Liu" has shown a different enthusiasm for him since he entered the door, which makes Xia Longfei can't help but think of the blind date he had with Xiaoting more than half a year ago......
"Aunt Liu, do you call me?" Xia Longfei hurriedly walked over, he didn't dare to slack off on this woman who might be his "future mother-in-law".
"Child, uncle and aunt want to ask you to help do something......" Liu Juan whispered to Xia Longfei mysteriously.
Xiao Nan was happily frolicking through the bear children who had just gotten the birthday cake, and saw Xia Longfei and Xiao Ting's parents talking to each other in a very low voice, I don't know what kind of plane they are doing, the hall is too noisy to hear clearly, and when she was guessing in her heart, suddenly a cake on a plate was handed to her.
"Sister Xiaolan, this is for you......" Qiao Xuerui was very attentive and handed Xiao Nan a plate with a cake: "This cake was ordered from the best pastry house in Z City, you and Tingting should be hungry after playing the piano for a long time......, right?"
Xiao Nan has been a girl for more than half a year, and she has gradually adapted to the various overly enthusiastic eyes that her former peers cast on her, and sometimes some boys who have intentions have learned to be calm and calm, so now she only intuitively knows that this cousin's purpose is obviously not pure.
Although I don't like Xiao Ting's cousin in my heart, it's a pity that Xiao Ting is not around now, and there is no one to "escort" her, Xiao Nan doesn't want to offend Xiao Ting's relatives easily, and just wanted to reluctantly take the cake, suddenly a huge figure appeared next to him, and with a gentle squeeze of his broad and fat shoulders, Qiao Xuerui and the cake in his hand were squeezed to the side and almost fell.
"Come, eat my piece, look at the heart shape of a cherry on it!" Qiao Xuefeng stared at Xiao Nan with a pair of eyes as he spoke, and his eyes drew a figure of eight between her face and chest - if his eyes could show it like a laser pointer.
Vomit...... It's really enough, can't you believe that these two are really the same grandparents as Xiao Ting? Xiao Nan couldn't help frowning and frowning.
Because he didn't want to offend Xiao Ting's relatives, and at the same time, he was worried that the two strange brothers were entangled with him, Xiao Nan frowned and took the plate from Qiao Xuefeng's hand with 100,000 reluctance, and after thanking him against his will, he turned around and fled from the range of the two brothers as quickly as possible, ran to a group of frolicking bear children, and gave the cake to a cute little Lori who looked like Xiao Ting.
Just when all relatives and friends were tasting the birthday cake, Qiao Yuanfan took out a delicate small box from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ting: "Tingting, this is a birthday gift from your parents......
"Gifts?" Seeing the mysterious smile on her father's face, Xiaoting couldn't help but feel a little strange, in previous years, when she celebrated her birthday, her parents gave her gifts often some mobile phones, digital products such as SLR cameras or delicate necklaces, earrings and other jewelry, what will this year's gift be?
Xiao Ting put down the knife that cut the cake, took the small box and untied the gorgeous wrapping paper layer by layer, opened the innermost small box and saw that there was nothing in it except a folded piece of paper. "What kind of gift is this?" she felt a little strange, looking at her parents, Lao Qiao and Liu Juan were both looking at her with expectant looks on their faces, as if they were waiting for their daughter to solve the final mystery.
With curiosity, Xiao Ting unfolded the piece of paper, only to see that it was drawn crookedly with a colored pencil, the content of the painting seemed to be the feeling of looking down on the ground from the air, although the drawing skill was only slightly higher than the level of kindergarten children, but it was also very obvious that there were paths, houses and trees, and even the garbage cans were drawn and marked with words.
It looks like a hand-drawn map, with several consecutive arrows drawn in red handwriting to indicate the direction of progress, and even a special line is used to lead to a note box next to it, indicating with text how many steps each arrow should go in which direction - it turns out that this is a treasure map! Look at the place names marked on it, it seems to be within the boundaries of this villa complex.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing here?" Xiao Ting couldn't cry or laugh when she saw this childlike treasure map.
"This is a mysterious gift from your parents~" Liu Juan said a little proudly. "It's just that this gift is special, and you need to find it yourself according to this treasure map. ”
"That's ......" Xiaoting suddenly realized, seeing the smiles on her parents' faces, she knew that this trick was a proud work of their careful planning.
As Xiaoting, who grew up by "rich daughters" since she was a child, under the care of her petty bourgeois parents, she has been living a life like a little princess without worrying about food and clothing, and her thirst for material things is far less than that of her classmates and friends around her, so she doesn't have too many expectations for what kind of birthday gift her parents give her, but it is quite interesting to let her follow the instructions of the treasure map to find the gift hidden in advance.
"Okay, then I'll go and find out. But ......" Xiao Ting lifted the skirt on one side in her hand, and her slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly. The princess-like multi-layered ruffle dress she was forced to wear by her mother today was simply too much of a hindrance, not to mention that she was wearing high heels on her feet. "I think it's better to change this outfit first, otherwise I'm looking for it, if the heel of the shoe steps on the skirt and falls on the heel, it will be a shame......"
"No, I don't. Liu Juan shook her head with a smile, and stretched out her hand to pull Xia Longfei, who had been standing silently next to her, over: "Didn't Xiao Xia drive a big motorcycle over, let him take you with him." ”
Xiaoting was stunned, when did Xia Longfei drive a motorcycle, didn't he always drive a black Audi, where did he get the motorcycle?
Liu Juan was afraid that Xia Longfei would not be able to seize the opportunity, so she hurriedly gave him a look, how could Xia Longfei be such a smart character and not understand the mystery? Hurriedly took out a car key from his pocket and shook it in front of Xiao Ting's eyes, and the metal car key pendant was engraved with the word TRIUMPH.
This trademark is...... It's a little familiar, I seem to have seen it in the motorcycle magazine on Xiao Nan's bookshelf, but I can't remember it for a while.
Xia Longfei saw that Xiaoting didn't recognize this trademark, and explained with a smile: "It's the Triumph ROCKETIII. I brought back from the UK, a three-cylinder 2300 displacement super heavy cruising locomotive, which is in the run-in period, and I haven't had time to get a license plate yet, I know that you like motorcycles, and I specially drove it over......"
"Ah~ Triumph, I know, the hundred-year-old brand in the UK......" Xiaoting couldn't help but widen her beautiful almond eyes, and looked at Xia Longfei in disbelief: "When did you become interested in motorcycles? I remember that you haven't even touched a motorcycle before, right? Now you have spent so much money to buy a brand-new Rocket Three, rich people are really willful!"
Xiao Ting's comments made Xia Longfei cry and laugh, in fact, his first contact with motorcycles began when he borrowed a BMW1200RT to "date" Xiao Nan, and it was also since that time that Xia Longfei seemed to have come into contact with a new world, and he had a particularly strong interest in motorcycles.
"Buying a car is for driving, not for showing off wealth, especially motorcycles, as soon as I drive it, the oncoming air currents blow across my cheeks at high speed, and the street trees and telephone poles on both sides of the road pass behind me, which makes people feel like flying close to the ground, and I was completely hooked after driving it once. Xia Longfei looked at Xiao Ting and said expectantly: "Let's go, Xiao Ting, let's go treasure hunting together!"
