The traffic congestion in Z City is like a vicious and stubborn disease that cannot be cured by a city, especially on weekend nights, almost every major commercial street within the Second Ring Road becomes flooded, and electric bicycles roll away from the immobile cars like a rushing river around the reef.

In this case, even Huzi, who was driving an off-road vehicle, could only sigh with admiration, and he finally found an opportunity to get off the road, parked the Wrangler in a paid parking lot, and finally escaped the helpless fate of being trapped on the road.

"Hey, Xiao Nan, I'm Huzi, are you here now?" Huzi called Xiao Nan while closing the car door and pressing the immobilizer switch.

"I've been here a long time ago, where are you now? Shouldn't you be stuck in traffic?" asked Xiao Nan on the other side of the phone, judging from the noisy ambient noise in the background, she must be standing at the entrance of the pedestrian street at this moment.

"I was almost blocked, but luckily, I escaped and parked in the parking lot, and now I am three stops away from the new pedestrian street, so I can only walk there. Huzi said, "Otherwise, if you wait for me at the Su Ji cheese shop at the pedestrian street, I will walk quickly for about ten minutes......

"You want to hurt me, you let me eat fried ice on such a cold day?" Xiao Nan said very dissatisfiedly: "Come on, I hate waiting for people the most, or you go first, I'll drive APE to pick you up." ”

"That's good. Huzi smiled: "It's just that your little mini car can take me? Every time I sit on it, I feel like squatting on the bench......

"You are less picky, some are good to sit on...... Xiao Nan said angrily: "At least it's better than being stuck in a traffic jam." If I hadn't been able to use you for a while, I wouldn't have been reluctant to use my APE to bring people, just your size, weighing as much as a pig, in case you reduced my nitrogen to pressure oil and I wouldn't be distressed to death......"

Xiao Nan hung up the phone, Huzi held the phone and couldn't help but smile slightly, Xiao Nan was not like this before, when he was a boy, if you wanted to tease him to say something, you had to pry his mouth open with a crowbar, since she experienced that incredible "transformation", her mouth cannon combat power has actually risen sharply, sometimes it is like a full-fledged MG42. Many times when she was counted down, Huzi often had an illusion, as if he was not facing Cheng Xiaonan, who used to be a boy, but Qiao Yuting, or the images of the two of them overlapped......

Xiao Nan drove her APE along the slow road and slipped in the opposite direction, and the surging crowd made her have to deliberately slow down. People who have been busy for a whole week seem to appear on the streets of Z City at the same time, the crowd of people shopping and the traffic out of the city have blocked the originally wide road, and Xiao Nan only saw a black and oppressive human head when he looked around.

Fortunately, Huzi was much taller than the average person, and Xiao Nan found him far away. "Huzi, this way!" Xiao Nan shouted loudly and beckoned to Huzi.

Huzi heard Xiao Nan's slender voice with high recognition, and hurriedly followed the sound to look over, and sure enough, through the bustling crowd, Xiao Nan, who was wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket and sky blue skinny jeans, and a red silk scarf around his neck, was holding the handlebar of APE and waving to him.

"Oh, I'll go, what the hell is this day today, there are so many people on the street that it's about to catch up with the temple fair......" Huzi squeezed over from the crowd, and sat on the back seat of Xiao Nan's APE without saying a word of politeness, with two hands on Xiao Nan's slender waist.

Xiao Nan only felt that the body sank suddenly, and Huzi had already sat up, because the APE body was very short, and the two of them were very close, especially the two big hands of Huzi holding her waist, and the hot temperature in the palms seemed to easily penetrate the winter clothes on her body and transmit directly to her skin.

"Don't put your claws indiscriminately!" Xiao Nan slapped Huzi's hand, Huzi hurriedly withdrew his hand, although Xiao Nan didn't hit hard at all, he looked wronged, and asked pitifully: "Why are you hitting my hand?" You drive so crazy, I don't have to find a place to catch you and drive up, I have to fly a kite ......"

"As far as you have a lot to do, I can't run fast at all with so many people on the road!" Xiao Nan glared at Huzi, frowned and said, "Then you hold my shoulder, give me my hand to be honest, and then dare to put it around and be careful to chop your dog paws!"

Huzi stuck out his tongue and grimaced, and gently put his hands on Xiao Nan's shoulders, although he was wearing a thick winter coat, this soft and boneless feel was really ......

What is a miracle? This is a miracle, Xiao Nan has changed from a tall boy to a delicate girl, just like a ball of grass rolling around in the desert suddenly blooming beautiful and holy flowers, but what you see in front of you is not the truth? If it weren't for Xiao Nan's own admission, if it weren't for his ability to tell the past things interlocking without a trace of flaws, who would dare to believe that Xiao Nan was once a boy!

"Dad, you're back!" Xiao Ting put down the jewelry box in her hand and ran over to take the file bag in Lao Qiao's hand and help him put it on the shelf, but Lao Qiao reached out to block it. He silently changed his slippers, walked to the living room with the file bag in his hand, and sat down on the sofa.

Xiaoting had already noticed that her father's face was a little wrong today, usually Lao Qiao always asked this and that with a smile when she saw her, she happily watched herself and her mother take his handbag and coat and help him hang it up, what's wrong today?

Lao Qiao opened his suit and loosened his tie, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his gray shirt, leaned back against the sofa without saying a word, looking at him like this, Xiaoting and Liu Juan both felt an inexplicable pressure.

"Old Qiao, what's wrong with you?

"Dad, you can drink saliva first......" Xiaoting poured a cup of hot tea, held it in her hand and handed it to Lao Qiao, and then sat next to him, looking up at her father.

Old Qiao looked at his daughter's well-behaved little face, the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything, just sighed softly. He pointed to the express package sent by Xia Longfei on the table and asked, "What is this?"

"Oh, it's a birthday gift from the third son of the Xia family to our family Tingting, it's a Scottish prehnite pendant. Liu Juan said: "Although it is not an expensive luxury item, people specially sent international mail from the United Kingdom!"

"Xia Longfei, this kid is quite interested in Tingting...... Old Qiao nodded approvingly, picked up the jewelry box and opened it to see, and then closed the lid again and put it back.

"Tingting, you will be 22 years old in a few days, how are you going to spend your birthday?"

"Birthday...... If I hadn't received a gift today, I would have almost forgotten about it......" Xiaoting blinked her eyes and thought about it, and said, "I didn't think about the birthday problem at all, so I don't know how to ......spend it."

"Last year, we went to the Great Barrier Reef as a family...... "Are we ...... this year?" says Liu.

"Let's take a different approach this year. Old Joe seemed to have a sudden decision: "Why don't we invite relatives and friends over for a family birthday party?"

"Birthday party?" Xiao Ting was a little hesitant when she heard this, her parents are people who like to be quiet, if she has a party at home, there will be a room of relatives and friends, and it will be lively, but can they stand the chaos?

"Yes, let's have a birthday party, Tingting, you can invite your best classmates, friends and colleagues to our house as guests, such as that Xiaolan ...... that day" Lao Qiao said subconsciously patted the old file bag at hand, and asked Xiaoting seriously: "Tingting, what do you think of this idea?"

Commercial pedestrian street, of course, no vehicles are allowed to pass, Xiao Nan asked Huzi to wait at the corner of the street, she put APE in the car storage area, and when she came back, she found that Huzi grabbed a large handful of bamboo skewers with various snacks in each hand.

"You haven't eaten after work, here's what you're going to do. Huzi handed Xiao Nan a few bamboo sticks with an iron plate octopus roasted, Xiao Nan took it and glanced at Huzi, feeling strange in his heart, yes, maybe in the eyes of passers-by, this scene is no different from the pair of young couples that can be seen everywhere around him.

Huzi's expression looked quite natural, as if it was natural for him to do so. "Let's go, didn't you say let me accompany you to buy something?" he asked Xiao Nan as he nibbled on the takoyaki in his hand. "If you let me help you be a consultant, it's pretty much the same, if you plan to let me help you bargain, then you might as well call Xiaoting......"

"If I could call Xiao Ting, I would have called it a long time ago, and I still need you to remind me?" Xiao Nan frowned and stared at the bamboo skewer in his hand, although he was indeed very hungry, he didn't move his mouth to bite. "Just because it was a birthday gift for Xiaoting, I wanted to surprise her, so I couldn't let her know in advance. ”

"Oh~ I also remembered what you said, it is indeed Xiaoting's birthday in a few days, what gift do you plan to give her?" Huzi munched on octopus meat and asked vaguely.

"I don't know what to give, the first year I met Xiaoting, her birthday has passed, last year I gave her a small platinum ring, which can be regarded as a token of love......" Xiao Nan recalled the history of giving Xiaoting a birthday gift.

"Cut, I gave you the idea of giving the ring...... Huzi interjected triumphantly: "I also helped you plan the entire celebration, from the amusement park date day trip to the middle of the lake boating to send the ring to love, until the last five-star hotel opened, but unfortunately you didn't grasp the last item, now that you have become like this, there will be no chance in the future......"
