Xu Jiaman looked at her bright smile, and his heart was even more awkward.

"Sister, I know that you have prepared a lot of surprises for me, in fact, I have also prepared surprises for everyone, don't be scared by me." Le Biran raised his eyebrows and said.

"Tomorrow you are the protagonist, as long as you are happy." Xu Jiaman said.

Le Biran smiled: "Okay, then I'll go to sleep first, so as not to be listless and unbeautiful tomorrow." ”

Xu Jiaman nodded and let her go.

Han Chenmo took a deep breath and asked, "How are you going to arrange it?" Do you want to prepare a gift for He Hua? ”

"Well, it must, even if it's a lie, let Bi Ran have a happy eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony." Xu Jiaman said seriously.

The night passed.

Xu Jiaman got up just after dawn, she came to the kitchen lightly, and cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for Le Biran with Mrs. Le.

"What a coincidence, it's actually a double yolk egg, a good sign." Xu Jiaman said with a chuckle.

Mrs. Le smiled and said, "Yes, I hope she will always be favored by good luck in the future." ”

"I'm going to get her up." Xu Jiaman took the initiative to say.

Mrs. Le nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Jiaman trotted upstairs and knocked on Le Biran's door: "Get up, little princess, I cooked longevity noodles for you." ”

After two minutes, Le Biran opened the door and complained with a smile: "Can you eat the longevity noodles you cooked?" ”

"Don't be dissatisfied, I did it with my mother, do you not believe me or not?" Xu Jiaman stretched out his hand and was about to pinch it on her face, but suddenly thought that it would not look good if he left a red mark, so he had to change it to a caressing.

Le Biran looked at her funny: "Today I am the heroine, you have a better attitude towards me." ”

"Cut, you'd better not be too arrogant, otherwise you'll have to settle accounts tomorrow." Xu Jiaman squinted his eyes and threatened.

Le Biran snorted, ran downstairs and coquettishly with Mrs. Le: "Mom, you take care of her, she threatens me." ”

"I'm eighteen, and I still have to find my mother to complain, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed?" Xu Jiaman leaned over with a smile and asked.

Mrs. Le held her two daughters in her arms: "No matter how old you are, you are my daughters, you can be coquettish with me." ”

The family had breakfast in harmony, changed into their dresses and prepared to leave for the hotel.

Le Biran wore a water-pink lace princess dress, a small diamond crown on her head, and sat quietly in the car like a doll.

With a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but show off to Xu Jiaman: "He sent me a message at twelve o'clock in the morning, saying that he wished me a happy birthday." ”

"Hmm." Xu Jiaman nodded.

"He must like me, right?" Le Biran asked with a burning gaze.

Xu Jiaman hesitated for a moment and continued to nod: "It should be." ”

"He's looking forward to it, right? Just like Mr. Han is looking forward to your twentieth birthday. Le Biran asked with a chuckle.

Xu Jiaman's eyes flickered, not knowing how to answer.

Suddenly, her mobile phone rang, Xu Jiaman looked at the "It's done" sent by Han Chenmo, and a big stone on her chest finally fell to the ground.

"Forgot to officially tell you, Happy Birthday." Xu Jiaman said softly.

"Thank you." Le Biran said with a happy face.

After a while, they arrived at the hotel, which was decorated with pink for the girl, balloons, and flamingos...... Everywhere you look, it's all romantic.

Professional photographers followed Le Biran every step of the way, recording her eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony in every detail.

Xu Jiaman looked at her happy appearance, her eyes flashed with envy, and she suddenly missed Xu Zhenkang and Shen Ruoyun a little.

"When you celebrate your birthday this year, I'll give you an even more fantastic one." Han Chenmo took Xu Jia into his arms and said softly.

Xu Jiaman subconsciously hugged him tightly: "I'm not envious of this." ”

"I know, but we can't change the past, so we can only look to the future." Han Chenmo said.

Xu Jiaman took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Yes, I have you now, with them, and many friends, I am very satisfied." ”

Han Chenmo gently dropped a kiss on her forehead: "We will always be by your side and spend many birthdays with you." ”

With the brisk music playing, the guests gradually entered the seats, and Xu Jiaman held Han Chenmo's forearm to greet the guests at the door.

"Mr. Le is so blessed, his two daughters are so beautiful, and Mr. Han is such a promising future son-in-law, which is really enviable."

"In the blink of an eye, Biran is so big, I don't know what kind of boyfriend I want to find in the future, can my son who is not a good family get into her eyes?"

Mr. Le said helplessly: "She has just come of age, and I still want her to stay with me for a few more years, and the marriage is not in a hurry." ”

"If you're not in a hurry, you can get along first."

Han Chenmo looked at Xu Jiaman with a happy face, fortunately he passed the future father-in-law early.

Xu Jiaman looked at him funny, and he almost wrote the word smug on his face.

Le Biran's eyes kept staring at the direction of the door, it was almost the time marked on the invitation, but He Hua hadn't come yet.

"It's almost time, isn't it? It's time for the feast, and the guests are waiting. Mrs. Le reminded.

"No, wait, I have an important guest who hasn't come." Le Biran insisted.

Mrs. Le and Mr. Le glanced at each other: "But the time is almost up, and your classmates and friends are already seated." ”

"Wait a little longer." Le Biran's expression was not very good-looking.

Xu Jiaman hurriedly interjected: "Just wait a little longer, let the host warm up first." ”

Mr. Le and Mrs. Le nodded helplessly, and took the first step to arrange.

Xu Jiaman hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Biran, you are already an adult, not to mention that there are still many guests here, so you can't be too willful." ”

"So you told me not to wait, did you?" Le Biran asked coldly.

Xu Jia took a deep breath and persuaded softly: "He may just be delayed by traffic jams on the road, it's nothing late, if you delay time for him with great fanfare, don't you deliberately make him lose face?" ”

Le Biran was silent for a while, her expression softened slightly, she looked at Xu Jiaman and said, "You said he would come, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Jiaman could only agree stubbornly.

"Well, I believe you." Le Biran said expressionlessly.

She walked to the center of the living room with her skirt in her hand, and her heart was infinitely sad with every step she took.

"No wonder everyone doesn't want to grow up, it turns out that growing up is to take care of other people's face and pretend to believe other people's lies." Le Biran passed by Xu Jiaman and said with a smirk.

Xu Jiaman's heart tightened, and he watched Le Biran walk to the crowd to accept everyone's blessings, with mixed tastes.

Her face sank, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to He Hua: "If you plan to escape today, never appear in front of her in the future." ”

Han Chenmo reminded in a low voice: "Your current expression will make others think that you sisters are not compatible." ”

Xu Jiaman reluctantly hooked the corners of his lips, pulled out a smile and looked at Han Chenmo, and said with emotion: "What Bi Ran said is not wrong at all, growing up is really boring." ”

Han Chenmo patted her back soothingly: "It's hard work." ”

Xu Jiaman grabbed Han Chenmo's arm and muttered in a muffled voice: "Fortunately, with you, I have more expectations for the life I grow up in." ”

"My pleasure." Han Chenmo coaxed softly.

The two of them slowly walked to their places and sat down, their eyes on Le Biran, who was standing in the center of the banquet hall.

With a fake smile on her face, she waved at everyone.

"Thank you all for attending my bar mitzvah ceremony, I will turn 18 years old today and enter a new stage in my life." Le Biran recited the speech she had prepared earlier without any emotion.

She looked at the guests in front of her and suddenly felt a little bored.

"Actually, these scenes are not my sincere words at all, and I don't think you will believe these polite words." Le Biran said sharply.

Mr. Le and Mrs. Le's faces changed immediately, and the two of them invariably turned their heads to look at Le Biran, and stopped her willfulness with their eyes.

"But I'm just me, whether I'm eighteen or not eighteen, I want to do what I want to do, I want to say what I really want to say, everyone is living for the first time, why should I be wronged?" Le Biran continued.

Xu Jiaman frowned slightly, looking at Le Biran worriedly, Han Chenmo quietly held the back of her hand, and said softly: "She knows the severity and will not disgrace her uncle and aunt." ”

"It's like there was someone who was very important to me today who didn't show up, it's his freedom and his choice, he doesn't want to wronged himself, I ...... Respect his decision. Le Biran looked at the closed door and raised a bitter smile.

There was an uproar in the banquet hall, and everyone was speculating about who it was that made the protagonist of the birthday party sad.

"Anyway, thank you for coming." Le Biran pretended to be relaxed and said.

Mr. Le and Mrs. Le breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned the hotel staff to push out the prepared birthday cake.

"It's your birthday, don't be unhappy, look how beautiful this cake is." Mrs. Le coaxed Le Biran and said.

Le Biran looked at the beautifully made cake in front of him and chuckled: "It's very beautiful." ”

There was a dark current of sadness in her eyes, she really didn't want to continue this meaningless coming-of-age ceremony, but she couldn't do it.

Le Biran didn't even have the strength to force a smile, she just wanted to end the troublesome process as soon as possible, return the venue to the mature adults, and let them communicate politely at will.

Originally, all they cared about was socializing, did anyone really care about her birthday and mood?

Le Biran smiled self-deprecatingly, she felt that she was extraordinarily sober at the moment.

She slowly closed her eyes and pretended to make a wish.

If only all birthday wishes in the world could come true, heh.

Le Biran opened his eyes in the expectant eyes of everyone, and blew out the candles on the cake with a "whew".

"Wow! Happy birthday! The crowd applauded and offered their blessings.

Le Biran smiled and nodded at them, bathed in a sea of blessings.

"Ranran, you are eighteen years old, you will be a big girl in the future, Dad gave you a sports car, and you can go wherever you want in the future." Mr. Le opened the small gift box in his hand, and the car keys tied with red ribbons lay quietly inside.

Le Biran took it with both hands: "Thank you, Dad, I will try to get my driver's license as soon as possible." ”

"At the age of eighteen, it's time to have your own space and freedom, and if you want to take your friends to have a party in the future, you can go to your own turf." Mrs. Le handed her the key to the villa.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Le Biran's tone was always light, and it didn't seem like he was really happy.

Xu Jiaman took a deep breath and handed her the gift he had prepared: "There are only a thousand of the latest customized bags in the world, remember to keep them." ”
