029 Birthday Banquet

When I got back to the apartment, it was half past four in the afternoon. Si Kouxing was in Zhuang Rui's room, nesting on the sofa watching TV, and when she saw Zhuang Rui coming back, she looked a little sober, "Are you out of class?" ”

Zhuang Rui came over and sat down next to Si Kouxing, in the TV screen, the male and female protagonists were hugging and kissing each other, Zhuang Rui's eyes were off by three points, and he didn't fall on the TV.

Si Kou Xing leaned over and asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhuang Rui's most powerful skill is to change the subject stiffly, and he cleared his throat slightly, "Are you hungry?" ”

Si Kou Xing's mind didn't react for a second, and she smiled, "Well, I want to eat a big meal." ”

Zhuang Rui turned his head to look at her, "Then let's go eat outside." ”

Si Kou Xing got up and half-knelt up, "Okay." She reached out and put her arms around Zhuang Rui's neck, and the red marks on his white neck that spread from his shirt fell into her eyes. He tilted his head uncomfortably, "Let's go." ”

She lowered her legs off the couch, put her feet in her boots on the ground, and bent down to zip them up.

Zhuang Rui stood up and watched Si Kouxing slowly straighten up from her bent posture, the whole process seemed to take a lot of effort on her part. She smiled at him, "Gone." ”

As she walked, Si Kouxing arranged her hair until she went out, her hair was tidied up, and she tied a low ponytail with a rubber band.

After getting into the car, Si Kou Xing asked, "What are you going to eat?" ”

Zhuang Rui held the steering wheel in his hand, did not squint, and asked Si Kouxing, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Si Kouxing said, "Why don't we go eat hot pot, don't you like to eat it the most when you go to high school." ”

In the past few years, he has been accustomed to eating lightly abroad, and Zhuang Rui has almost forgotten the taste of hot pot.

When he arrived at the hot pot restaurant, Zhuang Rui felt that the fireworks were too heavy at first, and he couldn't help but choke a little, until Si Kouxing ordered the dish and the waiter put the bottom of the pot, and he slowly got used to it.

Si Kouxing said, "I ordered it according to your previous taste." You have been abroad for a long time, and I am afraid that you will not be able to eat spicy, so I ordered a mandarin duck pot. ”

Zhuang Rui said, "It's true that I can't eat it as before, but I can still eat the general spicy." ”

Si Kouxing smiled and waited and seeed.

Zhuang Rui took off his glasses, and the heat in the hot pot made the glasses a mist.

When the dishes were ready, Si Kou Xing put some meat in the pot first, and put some meat in the two pots respectively.

Smelling the fragrance, it is indeed much more appetizing than those dry meat and bread abroad. Si Kou Xing scooped up the cooked meat and put it into Zhuang Rui's bowl, "Eat it quickly." ”

Zhuang Rui took a bite when he heard this, and Si Kouxing looked at him, "Not bad." ”

Zhuang Rui nodded, and also fished out a few pieces of meat for Si Kouxing, "You can eat it too, don't look at me." ”

Si Kouxing lowered his head and ate, Zhuang Rui ate very gently, Si Kouxing restrained his sitting posture a little, and learned Zhuang Rui's uprightness. She glanced up at Zhuang Rui from time to time, Zhuang Rui lowered his eyebrows, even if he was eating, it was a picture.

After eating for about an hour, Si Kouxing felt that her stomach was about to burst, Zhuang Rui settled the bill, and the two of them came out of the hot pot restaurant slowly.

When I returned to the apartment, it was not yet eight o'clock, Si Kouxing pulled Zhuang Rui to continue chasing the drama she watched during the day, tomorrow is the weekend, Zhuang Rui doesn't have to prepare for class, so he will accompany her to watch.

Halfway through, Sister Qiao called Si Kouxing, the publicity of the last drama is about to start, Si Kouxing, as a young actor, has the opportunity to show up, and if she can go, she will go.

Hanging up the phone, Si Kouxing sighed, sometimes, she didn't want to continue to live such a life of working day and night, she was too tired, and she didn't even know what the point was even if she really made a name for herself in this circle. But after thinking about it, she really likes acting very much, and she is also looking forward to being able to mix well on this road. Grit your teeth and stick to it, if one day, she doesn't want to hold on, then come back, marry Zhuang Rui, and return to the family to be a wife with husband and children, which is also good.

On the phone call with Sister Qiao just now, Zhuang Rui, who was sitting next to him, all fell into his ears, knowing that she couldn't stay by his side for a few days, and seeing her frowning, he reached out and touched her head, not asking knowingly, only comforting with a caressing.

After breakfast, the two of them went to the mall, and after learning that today was Yi Jing's birthday, Si Kouxing had to go to the mall to buy a birthday gift for Yi Jing by herself. Although Zhuang Rui doesn't like to mention Yi Zhonghe and Yi Jing in front of Si Kouxing, Si Kouxing also knows a little bit, they are a reorganized family, and she also knows that Zhuang Rui and Yi Jing have a good relationship, so it is natural for her to be good to Yi Jing.

After walking around the mall, Zhuang Rui bought a necklace and Si Kouxing bought a skirt.

Coming out of the mall, Zhuang Rui took Si Kouxing home.

The last time I came back, there were rows of lush trees formed by the Hongsen locust, and it was not two months before the leaves of the Hongsen locust turned yellow, and occasionally a piece fell, and was blown to the side of the road by the wind, the wheels were crushed, and the exhaust was blown into the grass on the side of the road.

Si Kouxing sat in the car, looking left and right, she knew that Zhuang Rui's family conditions were good, but she never thought that it was so good.

In the process of driving from the outside to the inside of the villa in the European architectural style, Si Kou saw that the palace-like house was getting closer and closer to him.

Zhuang Rui parked the car out of the garage, and when he entered the door, Wang Wanruo, Yi Zhonghe and Yi Jing looked at the door at the same time, Si Kouxing was frightened by this atmosphere, although this is Yi Jing's birthday, but for Si Kouxing, this is the first time to officially see Zhuang Rui's family, and the focus of everyone's attention is more on her. Zhuang Rui took Si Kouxing's hand and walked her in.

Wang Wanruo stood up and greeted her, "Coming back?" ”

Yi Jing also stood up unconsciously, she looked at the two people who came in, and did not speak.

Si Kou Xing held Zhuang Rui's hand tightly to show her uneasiness and nervousness, and Zhuang Rui held her hand with more strength.

Zhuang Rui said, "Mom, she is Xing'er." ”

Wang Wanruo smiled gently, "Xing'er, come and sit." ”

Zhuang Rui pulled Si Kouxing to sit down on the sofa, and Yi Jing sat down after Wang Wanruo sat down.

After Si Kouxing sat down, he greeted politely: "Hello, uncle." ”

Yi Zhonghe raised his head, looked at Si Kou Xing for a second or two, and nodded with a casual smile.

Si Kouxing looked at Wang Wanruo again, "Auntie, hello." ”

Wang Wanruo said, "When you come to the house, don't be restrained, Zhuang Rui, I often mention you, and today I can be regarded as seeing people." ”

Si Kouxing said, "Zhuang Rui often mentions my aunt to me, my aunt is so young. ”

Wang Wanruo smiled, "Really?" It's all a handful of years. ”

Si Kouxing said, "Auntie is not only young, but also beautiful. ”

Wang Wanruo smiled again, this girl not only looks good when she cries, but also has a sweet mouth when she praises people.

Si Kouxing looked at Yi Jing again, "You are Jingjing, happy birthday." ”

Yi Jing also smiled: "Sister Xing, hello." ”

Si Kouxing handed the gift she bought to Yi Jing, "I don't know what you like, I went to the mall and picked out a skirt for you, the style that little girls like to wear now." ”

Yi Jing took it with both hands, "Thank you." ”

When it was almost dark, Yi Jing went out to pick up a friend. This friend of hers is a classmate in elementary school with her, and Yi Jing's birthday will not be absent every year, so the whole family knows each other.

When Yi Jing and her friend entered the door, the two of them were still and moving. Wang Wanruo stood up as usual, "Xiaoxiao is here?" ”

Huang Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, does Auntie miss me?" ”

Wang Wanruo said, "You kid. ”

Huang Xiaoxiao grinned.

Wang Wanruo said, "Xiaoxiao is here, then let's have dinner." ”

Huang Xiaoxiao glanced at Si Kouxing and found that there was one more stranger, she asked Yi Jing in a low voice, "Who is sitting next to your brother?" ”

Yi Jing also whispered, "My brother's girlfriend." ”

Huang Xiaoxiao glanced at Yi Jing meaningfully, "Girlfriend! ”

Yi Jing was a little uncomfortable by Huang Xiaoxiao, "What are you looking at?" ”

Huang Xiaoxiao was still smiling, "I didn't see anything." ”

When eating, the family is quiet, Si Kouxing knows Zhuang Rui's habits, and knows that his family is probably like this, Huang Xiaoxiao doesn't have to say it, and she can't stop talking for a moment at the moment. Obviously it was a table of delicacies, but Huang Xiaoxiao put away his movements and sat in a regular manner, very uncomfortable.

After eating, just waiting for the arrival of 12 o'clock, Si Kou Xing sat straight on the sofa, very tired, she couldn't imagine how Zhuang Rui was holding on like this every day, but looking at his posture, he was not nervous, it seemed to be quite comfortable, but looking at his back again, it was so straight that he couldn't find fault.

Although Yi Zhonghe's back can't be straight, his sitting posture is always upright.

Yi Jing also sat up straight. Wang Wanruo is more relaxed, but her gentle temperament makes people feel comfortable.

Si Kou Xing and Huang Xiaoxiao rolled their eyes to look at the family. Aren't you really tired? Isn't it really boring?

Huang Xiaoxiao lowered her head and played with her mobile phone, smiling from time to time because of the content on her phone.

Si Kouxing, like the other three, watched the evening news. Although she didn't know what was on TV.

At 12 o'clock, Yi Zhonghe personally took out the cake he bought for Yi Jing.

Huang Xiaoxiao immediately stepped forward and "cut the cake." ”

Yi Jing and Huang Xiaoxiao put twenty candles on the cake together, and Huang Xiaoxiao counted them carefully, "Congratulations, you have entered the twenty-year-old mark." ”

After lighting the candle and turning off the light, Yi Jing closed her eyes and made a wish, her eyes were full of red light, and she silently recited in her heart, "This year's wish, the whole family is safe." ”

Yi Jing opened her eyes, blew out the candle, it was pitch black in front of her, in the dark, Yi Jing 'looked' at Yi Zhonghe according to the location of everyone in her memory, and then looked at Wang Wanruo, and finally, her eyes stayed at Zhuang Rui's location.

"Slap" Huang Xiaoxiao turned on the light, and her eyes suddenly brightened, and Yi Jing quickly looked away.

Wang Wanruo took the knife used to cut the cake, "Cut the cake." ”

Huang Xiaoxiao glanced at Yi Jing, and immediately turned his gaze to the cake, "Okay." ”

Wang Wanruo handed the first cake to Yi Jing, "Jingjing, it's a year older." ”

Yi Jing took the cake: "Thank you, Mom." ”

Because Si Kou Xing has developed the habit of losing weight, she doesn't eat much sweets, Zhuang Rui saw that she didn't eat much, and when she ate it herself, she also ate some of the things on Si Kou Xing's plate. Si Kou Xing knew what he was thinking, after all, it was the birthday of her future sister-in-law, and the cake on her plate didn't look good as if it hadn't moved.

After eating the cake and cleaning up the things on the table, Wang Wanruo arranged a guest room for Si Kouxing.

Originally, Huang Xiaoxiao wanted to sleep with Yi Jing, but I don't know why, Huang Xiaoxiao also asked to sleep alone.

Yi Jing washed up, sat on the bed, and waited.

Finally, there was a knock on the door, Yi Jing immediately stood up, restrained the expression on her face, walked over and opened the door.

Outside the door, it was Zhuang Rui.

Yi Jing called softly, "Brother." ”

Zhuang Rui put his hands behind his back, the corridor was very dark, Yi Jing couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but he could probably guess that he lowered his eyes and looked at her.

Yi Jing gave Zhuang Rui a way: "Come in and talk about it." Yi Jing deliberately waited for Zhuang Rui, she remembered the three years she lived with Zhuang Rui, every time he gave her a birthday gift, he only knocked on her door after her friends left, and then quietly gave her the gift.

Yi Jing sat down on the sofa, then raised her eyes and said to Zhuang Rui, "Brother, sit down." ”

Zhuang Rui sat down when he heard this, Yi Jing had already been slim, but unfortunately, he couldn't witness it with his own eyes. Now, Yi Jing has become quieter and more sensible, and she is not the same as before when facing him, fortunately, she used to be coquettish and angry, she has been good at hiding her emotions since she was a child, and now she is only even worse. Zhuang Rui took out the gift, "I haven't told you yet, happy birthday." ”

Yi Jing took the strip-shaped box in Zhuang Rui's hand and opened it, it was a necklace with no masonry on it, a simple style, but also exquisite. The tip of Yi Jing's nose soured, even if time passes, things are people, some things will not change, even if it is just a trivial thing that is not worth mentioning, there will be people who will be moved by it.

Yi Jing, who concealed her emotions without a trace, raised her head and said calmly, "Thank you." ”

It was covered up too much, so that Yi Jing looked a little cold.

Zhuang Rui said, "Don't you like it? ”

Yi Jing said, "I like it, how can I not like it." ”

"If you like it, it's fine." Zhuang Rui glanced at Yi Jing again, then stood up, "Rest early." ”
