Chapter Eighty-Four: The Birthday Party
"So we'll collect all the pairs." And then said.
No need to let acquaintances tease.
At this moment, in the eyes of every passerby, they are a little couple.
"It's not too early, let's go back." Chen Xingying said.
It was already past four o'clock and close to five o'clock, and the "date" between the two ended.
When I got home, I was about to knock on the door and found the door open on its own.
Chen Xingying pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Chen Xin. There was no one in the living room.
Could it be that Xiaopeng, they haven't arrived yet?
"Bang! Happy birthday! ”
With the sound of birthday flowers, Xiaoyu Xiaopeng and Xiao Chu jumped out and showed Chen Xingying the prepared surprise.
Streamers fluttered in the sky.
"So you're all here?" Chen Xingying said with a little surprise.
"Of course, but your master, you and Sister Xiaolin have been dating long enough, I watched the window for a long time before I saw you come back." Xiao Chu pouted and said, looking the same as Xiao Chu usually.
"Yo, Xiaoxin, Chenxin, you're back."
"Mother" came out of the kitchen,
"You guys play in the living room for a while, I'll be busy for a while, and when Xiaoxing and his dad come back, it's almost time to eat."
"Huh? Where's Dad? Chen Xingying actually blurted out and asked.
"Your dad seems to have something going on in the company today, he went to deal with it first, and he will be back in a while."
"Mother" replied.
Chen Xingying herself was also surprised, after only a week of getting along, the relationship with her "parents" has become natural.
"Auntie, I'll help too." Chen Xin ran to her "mother" who was about to walk back to the kitchen.
"No, no."
Although the "mother" refused, Chen Xin still insisted on helping her.
"Ah, let's watch the animation then, it's just time that the animation prime time is about to start"
Xiao Chu turned on the TV directly.
"I said how old are you, and you still watch cartoons on the children's channel." Xiaopeng complained.
"You have to take care of it!"
After the quarrel, the TV still compromised on the children's channel.
In the kitchen...
Chen Xin is helping "Mother" to put on the plate.
"How about it, I played with Xiaoxing today."
"Mother" asked.
"Very good, very happy, we went to the newly renovated park nearby in the morning." Chen Xin replied.
"yes, the renovation is pretty good. By the way, has that stupid boy been alone with you for the past few days, has he done anything out of the ordinary? If you have something to say, tell your aunt that she will teach you a good lesson. Mother continued.
"No, how could the professor do such a thing, he only knows how to think about problems all day long."
"Hahaha, too, this stupid boy is almost the same as his dad when he was young." Mother laughed.
"yes, how did you and your uncle get along?" Chen Xin asked.
"Your uncle and I both went to the same university, then did a doctorate, and were in the same institute, and we were put into a group. Your uncle had very good grades at that time and was liked by several professors, but he was too arrogant in his way of dealing with people. And he was assigned to a group and, saying that I can't do it, I can only be his assistant. Then I couldn't get angry with him, so I fought with him day and night in academic research, fighting and fighting, and fighting feelings. ”
Of course, "mother" omits a lot here.
"I see. That's pretty special. Chen Xin sighed.
"Isn't it true that it is said that excellent people are easy to attract each other."
Silence ensued for several minutes.
"By the way, Auntie, you and your uncle are not AI, right?" Chen Xin asked in a whisper.
But the "mother" didn't seem to hear it and was still busy doing her own thing.
In the evening, when the "father" returned home, the dishes on the table were almost ready.
"Happy birthday, son!" Father said, then took out a box of things from the paper bag he was carrying and handed it to Chen Xingying.
"Come, Xiaoxing, this is a birthday present for you."
"What is it?" Chen Xingying took it in her hand and couldn't wait to open it to see that it was actually a wallet. The black style looks very atmospheric, but it doesn't look old-fashioned.
"This is the latest model of the year, and it is best for young people. When you grow up, you just learn to manage yourself well. ”
Father said.
"Well, thank you, Dad." Chen Xingying thanked her.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot to give my gift to Master." Xiao Chu ran over.
"Bang Bang!" Exaggeratedly pulled out a pendant around his neck.
"What is this?" Chen Xingying asked.
"It's a famous brand." Seeing that the "father" was no longer on the side, Xiao Chu whispered to the metal brand-like ornament and said,
"You see the names engraved on it, including your partner in the Inner Paradise World, all of us."
"Really?"
Chen Xingying took a closer look at the names on it: Chen Xingying, Lin Chenxin, Qin Yichu, Li Xiaopeng, Li Xiaoyu, Wang Xuanjun
"Huh? Why is there still Wang Xuanjun's name. Chen Xingying asked.
"Okay, the dishes are ready, and the development is complete, everyone."
At this moment, "Mother" and Chen Xin walked out with the last two dishes.
"Yay! I starved to death. Xiao Chu happily ran to the table and ignored Chen Xingying's question.
Today's dishes are particularly rich, and at first glance, they are what children like to eat.
Japanese curry, hamburger steak, chicken wings and a few Chinese stir-fries satisfy "father's" appetite
"Eat these first, there will be fried rice in a while, and the aunt who wants to eat it will help you serve it later."
"Mother" said with a smile.
"Good!"
Everyone agreed in unison to start moving.
"Wow, Auntie, your cooking is so delicious, it's just like the one in the restaurant." Xiaopeng praised while eating.
"Uh-huh." Xiaoyu also nodded in agreement.
They have no false memories, and this is the first time they have tasted "mother's" food.
"Haha, as long as you think it's delicious."
"Mother" is still the same sentence. Indeed, complimenting one's own cooking is the best reward for this person.
Xiao Chu then asked "Mother" to serve two bowls of fried rice in a row.
"Auntie, I just think your fried rice is delicious!" Xiao Chu, who still had rice in his mouth, said there.
"Okay, Xiao Chu, save some stomach for a while and have a birthday cake." Chen Xin looked at him from the side, as if he was afraid that he would eat badly.
"Xiao Chu, why didn't your parents come together."
"Father" asked kindly.
"They've thought about a two-person world, and I just don't need to bother them." Xiao Chu returned.
After eating everything, my mother took out the birthday cake that was in the refrigerator.
"Wow it's chocolate Black Forest! Auntie, did you do this too? Xiao Chu asked.
"I learned to do this with the teachers in the training class, and I didn't have the right tools at home."
"Mother" said with a smile.
"Don't look at it, let's help light the candles." Xiao Peng motioned for Xiao Chu to give way.
So, after lighting the candle, Xiaoyu turned off the lights on the side, and everyone sang a birthday song around Chen Xingying.
This atmosphere is something that Chen Xingying has never felt in her 17 years of life.
