Chapter 47: His Birthday
Ever since I found out that I had some liking for Wang Feng, I had been terrified. On the one hand, it is the guilt of Li Jie, and on the other hand, it is that it should not be.
From childhood to adulthood, whether it is teachers or parents, what has been instilled in me is that you can't fall in love at school and that early love is wrong, and I have always followed this requirement very obediently.
But now, I have broken it, which makes me unable to face the reality steadily, and I always feel that this is a shameful thing and cannot be known. My liking for Wang Feng can only be secretly hidden in my heart.
And what makes me even more depressed is that I can't control my thoughts about him.
During class, I would secretly meow him with my eyes, and after school, I would read him in my heart. When I lie in bed at night, I also think about whether there are any happy things between me and him that day. If there was even the slightest bit, I would fall asleep laughing.
I have never had such an experience, I can't stop it, but it's very grinding.
On Wang Feng's birthday, after school, he invited us to his house for dinner. At the same time, several of his friends participated.
At his home, his grandfather had already prepared a table of good dishes for him. As soon as we returned, his grandfather left. When we left, they told us not to play too late. His grandfather was very open-minded, and said that with him here, we would probably not be able to let go. Leave such a happy moment to the young people to play on their own.
Wang Feng took out a large double-layer cake from the kitchen and put it on the coffee table in the living room. Let's sit down at the dining room table and fill the cups with drinks.
We raise our glasses and wish Wang Feng a happy birthday!
The only girls who came to the birthday party were me and Li Jie, and the others were boys. Looking at where a few of them were fighting, Li Jie and I also talked and laughed.
Everything is so happy, everything is so beautiful.
The dishes on the table were gradually half eaten.
At this time, someone proposed, why not drink some beer? It's just a waste of such a good time to drink drinks.
Wang Feng said that there was no one at home, and the boy who proposed it was going to go downstairs to buy it immediately, but I stopped him.
"Wait a minute, no drinking!" I said to him seriously.
"Why?" The boy asked.
"No, no, first of all, we're not eighteen years old, and besides, drinking is not a good thing, I don't like it."
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, everyone is happy today, just drink a little." The boy continued.
"No, you can't."
"Then it's okay if you don't drink it, let's drink it ourselves." With that, he was leaving.
When Li Jie saw such a scene, she leaned in my ear and whispered: "Xiaoxiao, don't be like this, it's embarrassing for people like this, you can be accommodating, okay?" After all, it is Wang Feng's birthday, I hope everyone can be happy and let Wang Feng have a good memory. ”
I shook my head, no, no, no, I have my principles.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the door, I was in a hurry, and yelled at Wang Feng, who was looking at the mobile phone over there to reply to the message: "Wang Feng, tell him that he can't drink!" ”
Hearing me roar, Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said to the boy: "Xiaowen, don't drink, we are all good teenagers." ”
The boy named Xiaowen showed disappointment on his face, and said to Wang Feng: "Why do you listen to her so much, okay, okay, don't want if you say don't." With that, he sat back in his seat.
I looked at Wang Feng gratefully, he smiled at me and continued to reply to his text messages.
When it comes to drinking, I naturally don't want to, not to mention how much I drink, whether I'm an adult or not, just drinking is not allowed in my place. I've always hated drinking since I was a kid, and I hated people who drank drunk all day.
The aversion to alcohol stemmed from my brother-in-law. My uncle-in-law is a very good person, with a good temper, good to people, good at everything, just loves to drink, and he drinks all day long. When you're a few meters away from him, you can smell the strong smell of wine on him.
I don't have many opportunities to see my uncle, except for the New Year's holiday, I hardly see each other on weekdays. But it was this rare meeting, and his love for our younger generation really impressed me. Until now, when I think of him, I feel that he is the person who loves us the most.
I remember not long after I started elementary school, one day at noon, my mother suddenly said to me that my uncle-in-law had passed away, and I was shocked! When I asked my mother why, my mother said that she had drunk and died. He drank all his life, and in the end, he drank until he lost consciousness, fell at the door of the house, and never woke up. Mom also said that it was good that he left like this and died on the thing he loved the most. But he left his laid-off aunt alone, and he had to take care of his cousin and cousin, who were not a few years older than me, and the days ahead would be very hard......
From then on, I had a resistance to drinking, and I had a resistance to people who drank alcohol.
Although, many years have passed since this incident, the aversion to alcohol since childhood has been deeply ingrained. I think that drinking alcohol is irresponsible for yourself, your family, and your life.
How could I have drunk at Wang Feng's birthday party? I can't!
Li Jie glanced at me helplessly, I knew that I would make the scene a little embarrassing, but I still insisted on my principles.
This meal, after all, is still finished, and on the whole, it is still happy. People weren't affected much by my unsympathy and refusal to buy alcohol, which was a little comforting to me.
Li Jie and I accompanied Wang Feng to clean up the mess on the table, "Xiaoxiao, you can help me get all the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher and put them in order." Thank you for your hard work. I went to collect the garbage on the table. ”
Dishwasher? Wang Feng's family actually has such a high-end thing as a dishwasher? I've only heard but I've never seen it, and today opened my eyes.
"Which is the dishwasher, Xiaojie?" I looked in the kitchen for a long time and couldn't find it.
Li Jie held a plate in her hand, stood there, looked around the kitchen, and shook her head at me.
The two of us looked at each other and said, "I can't find the dishwasher, so what should I do?" I asked her.
"Wait a minute, ask Wang Feng." Li Jie replied slowly.
"Xiao Jie, will it be embarrassing to ask him? The two of us can't even find the dishwasher, won't we be laughed at by him? ”
"That's right, or we'll look for it?"
"Hmm." So, Li Jie and I split up and searched in the kitchen.
I couldn't see it left and right, and later, I inadvertently opened a cabinet door and saw a machine with a small transparent glass door, which had different sizes of space for placing dishes and plates, and I pointed at it and whispered: "Li Jie, do you see if this is it?" ”
"Probably, let's put it in and try it." Li Jie said, and took down two dirty dishes from the dishwasher and put them in.
"The size is just right, you see there are a few buttons here, that's it, that's it, there's a boot water injection or something." I danced with joy.
"Hey, you're normal, just find the dishwasher, don't be so exaggerated, shame no!"
When Li Jie said this, I immediately stopped my movements and hurriedly helped Li Jie put all the dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
Wang Feng also cleaned up the restaurant at this time, and everything became clean and tidy again.
We washed our hands and went to the living room, where everyone took out the gifts they had prepared, formally, for today's protagonist.
