Chapter 24: Birthday
After thinking about it, Su Yue hoped that this birthday gift would not seem so ambiguous, and it could express his vague thoughts just right.
In the end, she chose this bear-shaped figure. In order to cover it, it was also specially paired with a bottle of red wine.
That's right, just when Su Yue and Mu Yao had just met, Mu Yao gave Su Yue a beautiful bear pendant. That day in cram school, Mu Yao also hung it on the zipper of Su Yue's school uniform jacket. That was also the first time Mu Yao took the initiative to express his heart to Su Yue.
And the bear figure carefully selected by Su Yue, and the bear pendant given to her by Mu Yao, both are from the same brand, but the shape is slightly different. Su Yue wanted to use this special gift to reawaken the memory in Mu Yao's heart, and told him that she had always been thinking about him in her heart.
After Su Yue finished dressing up, she took the gift and went out. She specially painted a delicate makeup today and chose it for a long time in front of the wardrobe.
In the end, she chose a small white dress with straight shoulders, which showed the elegant lines of her shoulders. The knee-length skirt was embellished with delicate lace and a simple but special heart-shaped crystal necklace was worn around the neck.
The short black hair, which is very neatly combed, is pinned behind the ears, which looks playful and cute. The bright red lipstick brings out Su Yue's fair and clean skin, and with the pink blush on her cheeks, she is really a delicate and sweet person.
Today, Su Yue also specially wore a pair of white high heels, which were inlaid with crystal clear crystals. Su Yue had never worn high heels, but in order to change herself, even if it seemed unnatural to walk, she resolutely chose to wear them.
At around half past five in the afternoon, Su Yue came to the door of the restaurant where Mu Yao was about to hold a birthday party. It wasn't early, and Su Yue walked into the main entrance of the restaurant with a birthday gift for Mu Yao.
This is an elegantly decorated and sophisticated Chinese restaurant with a chic pine bonsai in the entrance. There are several round tables spread out in the hall, which are covered with clean and neat white tablecloths. Su Yue remembered that the invitation said that the party was held in a private room, so she walked inside.
The waiter in black uniform walked up to him and politely asked Su Yue which private room she was going to. Su Yue flipped through her phone to check the invitation information as she walked inside, and because she was not used to wearing high heels, suddenly Su Yue's feet slammed hard. She staggered forward a step or two, but unable to maintain her balance, the gift she was holding in her hand was about to fall to the ground.
At this time, a figure who had just passed by quickly turned back to Su Yue's side, helped Su Yue's arm for a moment, and then quickly held the gift that was about to fall from below.
Su Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and after she stood firmly, she hurriedly thanked the kind-hearted stranger: "Thank you so much, I'm really sorry." ”
"It's okay." The kind stranger walked straight to the door without looking back.
"What a cool and warm-hearted little brother." Su Yue thought silently in her heart, and then asked the waiter how to go to the "Zifeng" private room.
Under the leadership of the waiter, the door of the private room with "Zifeng" written on it was slowly pushed open, and the bright and spacious interior immediately came into view.
The private room is full of flowers and colorful balloons, and the two large round tables in the middle are full of people, and everyone is chatting enthusiastically. Su Yue saw Mu Yao at a glance, he was surrounded by a group of people, talking to them enthusiastically.
Su Yue walked in with nervousness and excitement, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Su Yue felt uncomfortable, and a pair of unfamiliar eyes stared straight at her.
Some of them expressed doubts, some expressed praise, some kept looking themselves up and down, and some showed new and curious eyes... Su Yue instinctively took a step back.
"Oh, look who this is! Why didn't I recognize it all at once? Li Qianqian ran over with a surprised face, and as soon as she took Su Yue's hand, she began to greet her.
Mu Yao, who was surrounded by the crowd, also noticed Su Yue at this time, he said hello to his friends around him, and then got up and walked towards Su Yue.
He couldn't help but look at Su Yue with a slightly surprised look, and then stared blankly at her delicate face, and could see that Su Yue's dress today really made his eyes shine.
Su Yue was stared at by Mu Yao like this, and she was a little at a loss all of a sudden. She flicked the short black hair around her ear, then lowered her head slightly shyly.
Only then did Mu Yao realize that something was wrong with him, he quickly withdrew his hot gaze, then cleared his throat and pretended to tidy up his clothes.
Then he greeted Su Yue politely with the same calm expression as usual: "Hi, Su Yue." Long time no see. You are welcome to my birthday party! ”
"Well, long time no see. This is a gift for you, happy birthday Mu Yao. Su Yue hadn't completely recovered yet, she responded with a shy and shy smile, and then handed the gift in her hand to Mu Yao.
"Thanks, but... Why did you suddenly cut your hair short? Mu Yao asked curiously while taking the gift.
"Hmm..." Su Yue didn't know how to answer for a while.
You can't generously admit here: "That's right! I changed my hairstyle just to make you feel new to me! "That's the kind of thing you can say. Thinking that he actually cut his long hair for Mu Yao, such a ridiculous idea, even if he said it, it would be hard to believe.
"Mu Yao, what do you think of Su Yue's hairstyle? Is it good-looking? ”
Li Qianqian on the side suddenly interjected, as if she was deliberately teasing Mu Yao, but she also rescued Su Yue who was in embarrassment in time. Sure enough, Li Qianqian's ridicule was immediate, and now Mu Yao's expression was a little unnatural.
"It's good-looking, of course it's good-looking." Mu Yao hurriedly answered.
"What are you talking about? Tell me about it, too! A familiar and exaggerated voice appeared in his ears, and Chu Yixin had come to Mu Yao's side at some point.
She was next to Mu Yao and took his arm, her head gently resting on Mu Yao's shoulder, and her long maroon curls naturally fell on Mu Yao's chest. Chu Yixin looked at Su Yue with a smile on her face, she was wearing a slightly elegant black dress, and a simple silver necklace with the letter "Y" on her chest.
"Welcome, Su Yue! Mu Yao and I are very worried about whether you will be reluctant to come. Chu Yixin squeezed out a slightly contrived expression of surprise, and everyone could see that she was deliberately saying cool things.
"How could you not want to? The relationship between our family Su Yue and Mu Yao is so good, of course they have to come! Li Qianqian suddenly stepped forward, she deliberately glared at Chu Yixin, and said in a cynical exaggerated tone.
Chu Yixin's triumphant smile just now instantly froze on her face, and her expression that gradually became distorted looked a little ridiculous. Su Yue couldn't help but admire Li Qianqian in her heart, she was able to completely suppress this "goblin" in an instant.
"Alright, let's go in and take our seats. It's going to start in a moment. Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Mu Yao quickly opened his mouth to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere, and then led Su Yue and the others in.
Mu Yao put the gifts given by Su Yue and other gifts in a big box, and after dinner, he would open all the gifts one by one in front of everyone to feel and share the joy of that moment together. Su Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, she simply left a message to send her blessings, and fortunately she didn't write any more words to express her love.
"Su Yue, you just sit here." Mu Yao led Su Yue to the round table on the side, and Su Yue found that this was not the position of the main table where Mu Yao would sit.
This also means that he is not Mu Yao's best friend, so he was arranged at the adjacent table. And during the entire party, sitting here didn't have a chance to say a few more words to Mu Yao.
Su Yue didn't want to compromise on this, she was no longer the little girl who didn't fight or grab before, she wanted to fight hard in front of Mu Yao for herself...
