Chapter 56: His Birthday
Since it was a weekend, the business of the dessert shop was exceptionally good. At six o'clock in the evening, Su Wanqing was busy with the affairs of the store, and suddenly the mobile phone rang, it was He Jiaxin calling.
"Hey, Jiaxin!"
"Well, sister-in-law, are you with your eldest brother now?"
"No, I'm in the store now, what's wrong?" Su Wanqing asked inexplicably.
"Oh, it's Big Brother's birthday, don't you know? I thought he was with you, and I wanted to wish him a happy birthday, but the phone kept turning off when I called him! He Jiaxin said anxiously.
"Jiaxin, don't worry, I'll go back now to see if he's at home and wait for my call!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, and..."
He Jiaxin paused and continued: "Sister-in-law, I don't know how your relationship with your eldest brother is, but I always feel that the two of you are a little weird, and it may also be my delusion, no matter what, if he is at home, can he celebrate his birthday today?" This question has been hidden in her heart for a long time, and today she finally couldn't help but say it. And since she went abroad, He Junnan's birthday has been spent alone all these years, and she really doesn't want to watch her eldest brother go on alone like this again.
Listening to her words, Su Wanqing was stunned, and it took a while before she came to her senses and responded: "Okay! ”
After hanging up the phone, Su Wanqing was in a hurry to go back to see if he was at home, so she didn't have time to make him a birthday cake, so she packed the ready-made small cake in the store and took it back, said hello to Wang Xiaotian in a hurry and rushed back.
It was already seven o'clock when Su Wanqing arrived home.
When she opened the door and went in, she saw that the light in the living room was on, she was relieved, I don't know why, she heard that he couldn't be reached when the phone was turned off, she was very scared, and now, she can finally put her mind at ease.
In the restaurant, He Junnan sat there alone. In front of me is a fried steak, and I don't know why there is another one next to it. He opened a bottle of red wine and poured himself a drink for a long time, and when Su Wanqing entered the door, he was already a little drunk unconsciously.
Su Wanqing walked over cautiously, put the cake on the table, and asked softly, "Today, is it your birthday?" ”
He Junnan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became cold again, and he only said a simple "um".
Looking at the extra steak again, Su Wanqing asked, "This is?" ”
"Don't move! It's not yours, I'll make another one for you if you want to eat it! He Junnan said lightly, but there was a little more sadness in his tone. Every year on his birthday, he would prepare such a meal, a pair of dishes and chopsticks, which was for his dead mother, he missed her very much, and sometimes he didn't know whether to thank her for bringing him into this world.
"Oh, no need, I brought the cake back, Jiaxin said you have your birthday today, so..."
"You don't have to come back!" The relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes after a period of running-in, but she came to disturb him at this time, his birthday is not a thing worth celebrating, Qi Haoran knows that he is very sensitive to birthdays, so he doesn't know about his birthday every year, and his sister still doesn't seem to know him enough, in the past, he just didn't want to hurt her heart when she accompanied him for his birthday, so he reluctantly accepted the celebration that she had painstakingly arranged, but he didn't expect him to call Su Wanqing back today.
"Jiaxin can't contact you and I'm worried about you, so let me come back and see if you're not at home!" Su Wanqing didn't know what he meant, but she was a little dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude.
"Huh!" He Junnan smiled bitterly, the only one in this world who really cares about him is this sister, poured a glass of red wine, he looked at Su Wanqing in front of him through the cup and couldn't help but feel a little lost, can't she say that she will come back because she is worried about him? He was very conflicted, obviously he didn't want anyone to bother, but he had a strong desire for something.
"Aren't you happy?" Su Wanqing looked at his bitter expression and asked cautiously.
"What's there to be happy about?" He Junnan was stunned and asked rhetorically, on this day every year, his mood is always extremely low.
Su Wanqing didn't know what to say for a while, she couldn't figure out his uncertain personality like this, so she simply ignored him first, walked to the living room and picked up her mobile phone and dialed He Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, he's at home, don't worry!" ”
"Well, that's good, is he okay?"
"I don't know, it looks like he's unhappy, is he like this on his birthdays before?"
"Well, actually, the eldest brother is very bitter in his heart, he is not happy on his birthday every year, sister-in-law, no matter what he says, don't be angry, okay, care more about him, please sister-in-law!"
"However, why did he become like this, I really don't understand him, it's always cloudy!" Su Wanqing's curiosity has been around for a long time, and they all say that women are fickle, but she thinks that no woman will change her face faster than him.
"This, I can't say, it's better to wait for him to open himself one day and sue you, I hope that day will come soon!"
"Oh! Okay, you pay more attention to your body over there, then it's okay to do it first, I'll go see him! ”
"Okay, sister-in-law, you too, bye!"
Hung up the phone, Su Wanqing returned to the restaurant again, after listening to He Jiaxin's vague words, Su Wanqing thought that he must have a big unsolvable knot in his heart, thinking so, she decided not to worry about these trivial things with him.
Seeing that he was still pouring himself a cup of wine, Su Wanqing walked over and snatched his wine glass.
"What do you do?" He Junnan was stunned for a moment and then yelled at her, he was obviously angered by Su Wanqing's move.
"Is there anything you can say? Don't torture yourself so much, okay? She wanted to say that she was very distressed to see him like this, but she still didn't say it after all.
"It's none of your business!" He Junnan's cold eyes were cold and scary, he could obviously be very gentle with people, she had obviously felt his thoughtfulness and warmth, but now, he had become a thousand-year-old piece of ice, so cold that people couldn't get close.
"Can't you just be normal? Maybe it's better to say something, don't always hold it in your heart, okay? Su Wanqing didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, but she still couldn't rest assured after all, so she said so.
"You won't understand!" He Junnan shook his head and smiled bitterly, who can understand him? Even his favorite sister has been persuading him to let go of his hatred, they have taken the life of his dearest, how can he let it go? He wanted to see the old woman die in despair with his own eyes, just like his mother back then, this is a common hatred, how can she, an outsider, understand.
"But how do you know I'm not going to understand if you don't say it?" Su Wanqing tried again to understand his pain.
"Forget it, I'm tired!" He Junnan shook his head and said in frustration, he ignored her anymore, got up and walked towards the bedroom, his figure was lonely and distressing.
Looking at his back, Su Wanqing's heart began to throb, and she tried to enter his heart, but she failed again.
