Gu Mian picked up the small box in his palm, squeezed it tightly in his hand, and was about to say thank you, but Gu Ying's voice suddenly sounded in the courtyard behind him: "Sister? Sister, are you there? ”

Then, she muttered in a low voice: "Strange, where have the people gone, everyone is still waiting for her to cut the cake......"

"Oops!" Gu Mian whispered.

Ji Lingchuan: "Huh? ”

"I forgot to cut the cake." Gu Mian covered his forehead, looking quite distressed.

After the dance, the next part should be tonight's birthday star to make a wish, blow out the candles, and then cut the cake to share with everyone, but as soon as she came out, she left the matter behind.

It must have been her mother who asked Gu Ying to come out to look for her, and she didn't find anyone in the upstairs room, so she found the courtyard.

Gu Mian was anxious, but Gu Ying's voice came more clearly: "Shouldn't you run out?" ”

As she spoke, she prepared to walk out the door.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Gu Mian didn't dare to breathe, if Gu Ying saw this scene now, her screams would attract the entire banquet hall.

Saying that it was too late, she took Ji Lingchuan's hand and hid behind a thick poplar tree, thought about it, felt unsafe, and pulled him to squat down and hide in the gap between the two cars.

Ji Lingchuan didn't understand the situation, he staggered a step to stabilize, and just as he was about to speak, his mouth was covered by a hand, and then he heard Gu Mian "shh

He raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that this time it can be regarded as flattening, last time I covered your mouth, this time you cover my mouth.

Gu Mian said in a low voice: "My sister is your fan, let her see you here, it's over." ”

Ji Lingchuan remembered that she had asked him for an autograph before, which made him think that her name was Gu Ying for a long time. But he didn't understand that since his sister was his fan, he just needed to say hello when he met him, why did he seem to be ...... now Cheating?

Fortunately, Gu Ying just glanced at the door and went back, Gu Mian breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Ji Lingchuan's mouth, and when he looked up, he saw his dark and bright eyes, and there were doubts in his eyes.

Gu Mian explained: "If she sees me with you, she will definitely torture me." ”

Ji Lingchuan looked at her with a smile: "Oh." ”

Gu Mian didn't know what he was laughing at, but he knew that he couldn't stay here any longer, the guests in the banquet hall were waiting for her to cut the cake, and she couldn't be willful.

She stood up: "I'm leaving." ”

Ji Lingchuan got up and asked, "Are you coming back?" ”

Gu Mian turned around and left, took a step and stopped, looked back at the handsome face of the man under the light, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't come back until I finish cutting the cake." ”

Ji Lingchuan sat in the car and looked at the girl through the windshield like a little butterfly, floating away, and couldn't help but chuckle. Laughter rang out from the silent car, and he felt a little silly, and pursed his lips to stop laughing.

Gu Mian was holding the small box in his arms, the corners of his mouth curled, and he was about to open it to see what was inside, but he almost collided with Gu Ying head-on.

She was startled, and hurriedly stabilized her figure: "Why are you still here?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Gu Mian regretted it, since she said that she was still here, it proved that she knew that Gu Ying was here just now. But Gu Ying didn't notice the loophole in her words, and stared directly at the thing in her hand: "What is this?" ”

Gu Mian's eyes dodged, and he said, "This is ......"

At this moment, Aunt Zheng ran over in a hurry and said in a loud voice: "My little ancestor, why are you here, Mrs. is sending people to look for you everywhere!" ”

Gu Mian's breathing tightened, and he hurriedly followed his aunt to the banquet hall. Gu Ying didn't care about satisfying her curiosity, and jumped up to follow.

Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the door of the banquet hall, she saw Tan Man showing an anxious look, and she didn't show her face until Gu Mian came over. Tan Man didn't blame her for running around, he took her hand and said softly: "Where did you go, everyone is waiting for you." ”

Gu Mian felt guilty in his heart and whispered, "I went out to meet a friend. ”

Tan Man was stunned for a few seconds, then looked behind her: "Your friend is here?" Why don't you invite her over for a cake. ”

Gu Mianxin said, he can't come over, the banquet hall is full of guests, there are many people, if the big star Ji Lingchuan appears here tonight, tomorrow morning's entertainment headlines and Weibo hot searches will be booked!

When the birthday star arrived, the crowd automatically parted ways, and the pastry chef in a white chef's uniform pushed an eight-layer birthday cake. The bottom seven layers are rainbow-colored, each layer is full of pulp, and the top layer is black, with a small crown made of white chocolate on top.

The air is filled with the sweet smell of cream, mixed with the scent of flowers and champagne, and everything is so beautiful. Tan Man let go of Gu Mian's hand and let her pass.

The lights went out, and it was pitch black, except for the candlelight on the cake.

Everyone is looking at tonight's protagonist. Gu Mian stood in front of the cake, folded his hands and closed his eyes, silently made a birthday wish, then opened his eyes and leaned over to blow out the candle.

She makes the same wish every year on her birthday, but this year, she made an extra wish, hoping not to blame her for being too greedy.

Everyone applauded and shouted, and the crystal lamps on the ceiling were lit up again.

Gu Mian felt the excitement around her, but thought that there was another person waiting for her.

The pastry chef handed her a toothed plastic knife, and she cut the cake and served it to the guests. However, she didn't finish it all, and she still had a piece.

Everyone was eating cakes, chatting in twos and threes, talking about some business matters, which Gu Mian couldn't understand. Although the banquet didn't end until ten o'clock, the rest of the session didn't require her to be present.

In fact, she also knew that the guests who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony today were not for her face, but to have a good relationship with her father.

Gu Mian searched around and found that his mother was talking to his aunt. The two women look somewhat similar, one is wearing a blue dress, the other is wearing a silver and white dress, and they are very eye-catching when they stand together.

She pondered for a moment, then walked over with the hem of her skirt.

Tan Zhen has no children, and she loves Gu Mian's niece the most, as soon as she saw her coming, she reached out and pinched her face, and smiled: "Mianmian, are you happy tonight?" ”

"Happy." Gu Mian smiled at her, turned to look at her mother, and reported to her, "Mom, I want to go out for a while, my friend is still waiting outside." ”

She didn't lie, Ji Lingchuan was really waiting for her outside, so her eyes looked very sincere at the moment.

Tan Man thought that the friend she was talking about was a classmate, and as for why her friend didn't come to the banquet hall to eat cake, she probably guessed that seventeen or eighteen-year-old children don't like the occasions where adults are there, not to mention that these adults are all people in the business field, which will make people feel restrained.

Before Tan Man could speak, Tan Zhen on the side waved his hand and said very openly: "I don't see you here, let's go play with friends, celebrate your birthday, you have to be happy." ”

Gu Mian looked at Tan Man, only to see her nod her head lightly, and said with a smile, "Go ahead." After a pause, he told her, "Stay safe, don't play too late." Also, bring a piece of cake for your friend. ”

Needless to say, she had already left a piece of cake for Ji Lingchuan.

After getting the parent's pass, Gu Mian no longer had to sneak out of the banquet hall like she had just done, she walked out with a big cake. The excitement made her mouth rise as soon as she walked out of the hall, and even though she was still wearing high heels, she didn't walk as messily as she did then.

Walking out of the villa gate, her eyes were directly locked on Ji Lingchuan's car.

Gu Mian adjusted her breathing without a trace, raised her hand and knocked on his car window, and after a while, the window was lowered, and she handed the cake over: "Please eat the cake." ”

Ji Lingchuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and took it: "Thank you for the birthday cake." ”

However, when he saw the fruit on the cake, his face changed subtly, because a layer of diced mango was spread on it. Probably because of Gu Mian's preferential treatment of him, the diced mangoes are about to pile up into a hill, and he is allergic to mangoes, and he will have a rash when he eats it.

Gu Mian went around to the other side, sat in the passenger seat, and saw that he was motionless: "Why don't you eat?" Is it because you don't like sweets? ”

“…… No. Ji Lingchuan looked into her eyes and swallowed back the words of explanation.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the cake in his hand, thinking that if he ate a few pieces, it should not be a big problem, so he picked up a small spoon, dug a piece like a strong man breaking his wrist and put it in his mouth.

The birthday cake was made by a special pastry chef, of course it was delicious, Ji Lingchuan licked the cream on the side of his mouth, and asked a little curiously, "What wish did you make?" ”

Gu Mian was stunned for a moment, and turned his face away from his gaze.

What wishes were made?

She wished her family good health, peace and joy. Another wish is that I hope that Ji Lingchuan will become more and more popular, more people will like him, and his career will flourish.

She wasn't going to say it, though. Ji Lingchuan waited for a long time, but only waited for the little girl to say, "If I don't tell you, it won't work if I say it." ”

Ji Lingchuan thought about it, as if there was indeed such a saying, he smiled lightly and continued to eat the cake, but the cake she cut for him was too big, he felt that it was not missing at all after eating several bites, and asked, "Do you want to eat a little?" ”

Gu Mian reacted to one thing after realizing it: "I haven't even tasted a bite of cake tonight." ”

Ji Lingchuan was stunned.

"What? Haven't tasted cake yet? That's so undeserved. As he spoke, he quickly scooped up a spoonful and handed it over, his tone like a child, "Come on, come on, take a bite." ”

Gu Mian looked at him, the man smiled on his lips, and his hand was raised in the air, so gentle and patient.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she opened her mouth to eat the cake he fed, the sweetness in her mouth spread, and her heart seemed to be filled with cream, sweet.

A piece of cake is getting less and less in the bite of you and me, and neither of them actually noticed that something was wrong, until the last bite left, Ji Lingchuan paused.

His body tensed, and his hand stopped between the two, not knowing whether to feed this spoonful of cake to Gu Mian or to himself.
