"Gifts?"

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, thinking that he was going to be embarrassed again.

The last time I talked to Xiao Yufei about Xia Shiyun, he was distracted when he recalled, Xiao Yufei asked him what he was thinking, and he casually said that he was thinking about a birthday gift.

In fact, he didn't take Xia Shiyun's birthday to heart at all, and forgot about it the next day.

Even if he bought that string of prayer beads a few days ago, the first thing he thought of was only to give it to Xiao Yufei for self-defense, and never thought of giving it to Xia Shiyun.

And now, the rosary has been given to Lin Xuanying, and there is nothing in her hand to give to Xia Shiyun.

"You won't tell me you're not prepared, will you?" Xiao Yufei said in surprise.

Xiao Chen said honestly: "Forgot!"

"Oh my God, can you forget this?"

Xiao Yufei helped her forehead, feeling that Xiao Chen was helpless.

......

Xia Shiyun was still dressing up in the room, and there was another girl who had a very good relationship with her who was helping her, named Li Shanshan.

Li Shanshan said with a smile while combing Xia Shiyun's soft long hair:

"Shiyun, you shouldn't be too beautiful today, you will definitely amaze everyone when you go out later, those boys may drool!"

Xia Shiyun said: "How can it be so exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all, you are one of the two school flowers of our Lanning High School, and in my opinion, that Ling Xiaozhu is not as good as you at all. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I've met Ling Xiaozhu a few times, and she is indeed much prettier than me. ”

"You're too modest, aren't you?"

"Okay, don't argue about these useless things, I want to practice the piano, and I'll play later!"

Xia Shiyun said and walked to a piano in the room.

Li Shanshan seemed to remember something, and asked, "Shiyun, I heard that the piano master Wu Fang will also come tonight, is it true?"

Xia Shiyun replied: "Of course, he is my piano teacher, and he will definitely attend the banquet tonight." The piano performance that will be held later is also the answer sheet I handed over to him. ”

"Wow, that really can't be sloppy, come on!"

"Hmm!"

At this time, Xia Mingfeng knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Shiyun, are you ready, the banquet is about to begin. ”

Xia Shiyun said: "It's almost." ”

"That's good, Yufei has arrived, and Xiaochen is also here. ”

When Xia Shiyun heard this, her expression changed slightly, "Xiao Chen is also here?"

Xia Mingfeng smiled: "Today is your eighteenth birthday, why wouldn't he come?"

Xia Shiyun shook her head and said, "I thought he wouldn't come, he has been avoiding me for the past two years." ”

"You ......" Xia Mingfeng hesitated for a moment and asked, "You really don't feel anything about Xiaochen?"

"I don't know what to say!" Xia Shiyun bit her lip and said, "Dad, do you want me to be with Xiao Chen?"

"It's up to you to decide, I'm sure you'll make the right choice!"

Xia Mingfeng knew that his daughter would not choose Xiao Chen at all, so he said this with confidence.

In fact, in the past, he did want to make his daughter and Xiao Chen a couple, but with the continuous improvement of his status in recent years and the increasing number of big names he has come into contact with, his mind has changed.

He has an excellent daughter, and he can find a better man for his daughter, so that the position of the Xia family can not only be stabilized, but also be able to reach a higher level.

It's not that he's selfish forces, but that he's been in the upper class for a long time, which makes him more aware of reality.

As for Xiao Chen, he is becoming more and more mediocre, his personality is becoming more and more introverted, he may be idle in this life, and he will arrange a job and a marriage for him in the future, and he has already done his best.

"I see!"

Xia Shiyun nodded, secretly relieved in her heart.

She was originally afraid that her father would attach too much importance to the relationship with the Xiao family and would force herself to be with Xiao Chen, but now it seems that this is not the case.

In this way, she will have no worries.

She didn't mean to hate Xiao Chen, and she always regarded Xiao Chen as her brother, but she really didn't have that feeling for Xiao Chen.

The love she longs for, not to mention vigorous, at least allows her to have an instantaneous heartbeat experience.

After Xia Mingfeng left, Li Shanshan immediately gossiped and asked, "Shiyun, who is Xiao Chen? Your boyfriend? When did you have a boyfriend? Why don't I know?"

Xia Shiyun glanced at her speechlessly, "I just grew up with Xiao Chen since I was a child, and I don't have so many messy relationships." ”

"Wow, that's a childhood sweetheart, and it's no different from a boyfriend?" Li Shanshan said in surprise, "If those boys who pursue you know about this, they won't be jealous?"

"Can you be serious, I don't know how to face him yet!"

Seeing that Xia Shiyun was a little angry, Li Shanshan stopped joking and asked, "He likes you, and you don't like him?"

Xia Shiyun hesitated slightly, nodded again, and said, "I once rejected him!"

"That's fine, what are you still struggling with?"

Xia Shiyun shook her head and said, "I will definitely meet him later, I'm afraid the scene will be very embarrassing." ”

"What's this, if you're afraid of embarrassment, don't talk about it, I'll help you round the field. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, who called us good friends?"

......

Approaching seven o'clock, the banquet was about to begin, and more and more celebrities walked into the venue.

Before Xia Shiyun's appearance, many people would communicate with each other and get acquainted with each other, and the most important thing in society is the connection, and multiple friends are always right.

There were also many people who came to talk to Xiao Yufei, but Xiao Yufei coldly perfunctory a few words, and let them retreat.

"Miss Xia is out!"

I don't know who shouted, pushing the atmosphere of the venue to the boiling point, and people's eyes were all focused on one place.

There, Xia Shiyun wore a noble princess dress, like a beautiful white swan, radiant.

She is as green as a waterfall, her skin is like a condensed jade, she can be broken by blowing, she faces everyone and focuses on the onlookers, without losing her demeanor, gentle and shallow smile, and generous, while people are amazed, she can't help but admire in her heart.

"Hey, Shiyun is here!"

Xiao Yufei patted Xiao Chen, she was very angry, this thing is actually sleeping?

Of course, Xiao Chen wasn't sleeping, he just squinted.

He opened his eyes, glanced at Xia Shiyun, and said boringly: "She is busy dealing with guests, she won't come to us, don't be nervous." ”

"You should be nervous, why am I nervous?" Xiao Yufei said angrily, "If she doesn't come, why don't you take the initiative to go over and say hello to her?"

"There's no need, it's embarrassing!"

"It seems to be!"

Xiao Yufei didn't continue to force Xiao Chen, took out a beautiful box and handed it to him, and said, "Later, you will give this to Shiyun, for her eighteenth birthday, you can't say it if you don't give a gift." ”

Eighteen years old means that adulthood and entering another stage of life is of great significance, otherwise this banquet would not be so grand.

"What about you?" Xiao Chen asked.

Xiao Yufei didn't care and said: "I have such a good relationship with Shiyun, it doesn't matter if the gift is given." ”

Xiao Chen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, you chose this gift for her, it must have taken a lot of thought, you can give it to her yourself, I can give it to others." ”

Xiao Yufei said strangely: "Didn't you say that you didn't prepare a gift?"

"On the spur of the moment, giving a gift doesn't have to be an item. ”

......

There were many people who congratulated her, Xia Shiyun returned the salute one by one, and finally walked in front of an old man with a gray beard, and said respectfully:

"Teacher, when did you come and why are you here alone?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled with a smile on his eyes: "When I first arrived, there were some young people here, and no one knew me. ”

"How come, you are a famous pianist in China, who has not heard of your name?"

As soon as Xia Shiyun's words came out, someone immediately exclaimed: "He is the piano master Wu Fang!"
