Chapter 36: Happy Birthday
Lu Yaoyao stood still, looked at the person who scared her, and saw an unfamiliar face.
"You, who are you?"
I don't know this girl from afar, and I have never seen her. But now that he can be in Chen Xiuyuan's house, it must be someone from Chen Jiayuan's house.
The girl was stunned by Lu Yaoyao's words, and then stuffed the rose in her hand into Lu Yaoyao's arms, and a big smile bloomed on her face: "Ah, the first time we meet, take care of me." I am his sister, Chen Ziyi. Just returned from abroad and going to stay here for a few days. ”
Chen Ziyi circled around Lu Yaoyao, looked her up and down, and was full of praise: "Sure enough, it's a dancing girl~Good figure~"
Lu Yaoyao was a little uncomfortable by her enthusiasm, but because of her identity, she could only stand there stunned and wait for Chen Ziyi to look at her.
"Ziyi, don't make trouble."
Chen Xiuyuan didn't know when he walked out of the restaurant, frowning, his eyes were a little dull because of his illness.
Lu Yaoyao looked at Chen Xiuyuan's eyes, and his heart twitched a little. Chen Ziyi, who was stopped drinking, pouted and looked at Chen Xiuyuan with a slumped face: "I said brother, can you not be like this." Seriously, like an ascetic monk. ”
An ascetic monk? What the hell is this analogy?
Hearing Chen Ziyi compare Chen Xiuyuan to an ascetic monk, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. She looked at Chen Xiuyuan's seemingly inconvenient movements, and hurriedly put aside the roses that were stuffed in her hands, and trotted to Chen Xiuyuan's side, ready to help him.
"Don't move." Chen Xiuyuan refused her support. After all, she can see with her eyes, and now she looks like this, just to tease her.
Help? Even if he was really blind, he didn't need it.
Chen Ziyi watched the interaction between the two of them, and noticed Lu Yaoyao's vague caution about Chen Xiuyuan, and ran into the restaurant with a roll of his eyes.
Glancing at Chen Xiuyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, Lu Yaoyao thought about it and said, "Sir, since there is nothing else to do, I'll go cook ......"
Originally, because of Chen Xiuyuan's pink mood of letting him go home earlier, he was frightened by Chen Ziyi outside, and it was gone. After seeing that there was one more person in Chen Xiuyuan's family, she couldn't do anything, so she had to say that she was going to cook by herself.
However, what she didn't expect was that Chen Xiuyuan said "no need".
Lu Yaoyao, who looked at her with a confused face, Chen Xiuyuan raised his head, as if looking for her direction: "Today's meal, I asked the nanny who took care of Ziyi to make it." You just need to eat today, which can be regarded as cheering for your game tomorrow, and it can be regarded as ......"
As he spoke, Chen Xiuyuan suddenly stopped, making Lu Yaoyao, who was listening, itch in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "What is it?" ”
"Hug, I'm sorry, sir, I interjected." As soon as the words came out, Lu Yaoyao realized that he had interjected when Chen Xiuyuan was speaking, and immediately apologized.
Chen Xiuyuan just waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing.
Today's gentleman is extraordinarily gentle. Is it because my sister is here?
Lu Yaoyao was moved by his sudden gentleness, and his heart beat fast. can think that Chen Xiuyuan is in a good mood, purely because after his sister came, a feeling of discomfort permeated his heart.
Sure enough, girls who are in deep love are the most likely to suffer from gains and losses, and are emotionally unstable.
"Na~ brother, can I interject?" Chen Ziyi suddenly came out of the restaurant with something and looked at Chen Xiuyuan with blinking eyes.
Lu Yaoyao's eyes were attracted by the things in Chen Ziyi's hand, but because it was covered by the red cloth, she couldn't see it at all and couldn't guess what Chen Ziyi was holding in his hand.
Chen Xiuyuan, who was asked, did not speak, and tilted his head. Seeing his reaction, Chen Ziyi knew that he meant it by default, and immediately looked at Lu Yaoyao with a smile: "It's also because of ...... It's your birthday~"
"My ...... Birthday? Lu Yaoyao froze. She had completely forgotten that it was her birthday. If it weren't for Chen Xiuyuan and Chen Ziyi, she would have to spend her birthday quietly this year.
It's because the dance troupe is too busy, and the Lu family has too many bad things. Otherwise, you won't say that you have forgotten your birthday.
Just as Chen Ziyi was talking, she also ripped off the red cloth on the thing she was carrying. When Lu Yaoyao reacted, he saw a delicate cake.
"Na~ Because the time is short, I had to make such a small one...... I hope you don't dislike it. Chen Ziyi looked at the twelve-inch cake he was holding in his hand, and his tone was slightly regretful.
In fact, when she got off the plane and was picked up by Chen Xiuyuan's assistant, she heard from the assistant about Lu Yaoyao.
The things that the assistant said made her instinctively feel that Lu Yaoyao was very good. So the goodwill towards Lu Yaoyao in my heart skyrocketed.
Then I heard about Lu Yaoyao's birthday today, so I thought about making a cake for her myself - after all, I am also a dessert master, cake or something, a piece of cake.
Lu Yaoyao looked at the cake, his eyes moistened slightly: "Thank you." ”
Now she has no way to say anything other than thank you.
Lu Yaoyao thought of his previous birthday. When her mother was still there, every year on her birthday, she would buy her a big cake, and then the family would sing songs and blow out candles for her and celebrate her birthday together.
But later, after the stepmother entered the door, her birthday was never celebrated with her family again. However, every year on Lu Tiantian's birthday, the family will hold a party to celebrate her......
Come to think of it, she hadn't had a birthday in years.
"Okay, come and blow out the candles and make a wish~"
Chen Ziyi put the cake on the table in the living room, lit the candles that had been planted a long time ago, and smiled at Lu Yaoyao.
Chen Xiuyuan, who was on the side, didn't know when he sat on the sofa next to the table, lowered his eyes, and didn't speak.
Lu Yaoyao slowly walked to Chen Ziyi's side, looked at the cake on the table, closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.
"I wish you a happy birthday~I wish you a happy birthday~" Chen Ziyi saw her close her eyes, and immediately sang a birthday song, with a cheerful and crisp voice.
After making a wish, Lu Yaoyao opened his eyes and blew out several candles on the cake in one go.
"Alright! Happy birthday~" As soon as Chen Ziyi finished speaking, a pleasant piano sound sounded in the living room.
Hearing this voice, her face changed, and she immediately said, "Ah, I'm sorry. I'm sure I can't eat cake with you. ”
Before Lu Yaoyao could react, he saw Chen Ziyi grab the ringing mobile phone and run out of the villa.
Lu Yaoyao, who was holding a knife and preparing to draw a cake: ......
Chen Ziyi left now, Lu Yaoyao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that the air in the living room was getting thinner and thinner.
What to do? Only she and Chen Xiuyuan were far away in the living room...... Why did Chen Ziyi run away in this situation!
Lu Yaoyao shouted in his heart, and cut a piece of cake with a puzzled face.
"Sir, this is for you." Putting the cake on the plate, Lu Yaoyao handed the first cake to Chen Xiuyuan, who was closing his eyes.
Chen Xiuyuan didn't move for a long time, and Lu Yaoyao's hand was slightly sore. When she was about to put the cake plate on the table, she heard Chen Xiuyuan's voice: "I can't see it." ”
His voice was a little low, so that Lu Yaoyao didn't react at the first time. When she reacted, her face turned red.
She actually forgot that Chen Xiuyuan had a problem with his eyes...... Desperate to the point of exploding.
In order to take care of Chen Xiuyuan's inconvenient eyes, Lu Yaoyao handed the cake plate to Chen Xiuyuan's hand. And Lu Yaoyao's fingertips also happened to touch Chen Xiuyuan's.
The slightly cool touch from his fingertips made Lu Yaoyao's heart rise with fire, and the heat on his face accumulated more and more.
Chen Xiuyuan took advantage of her lack of attention and looked at her crimson cheeks with interest for a while.
Under the warm light deliberately turned on in the living room, Lu Yaoyao's cheeks showed a pink and tender look, which made Chen Xiuyuan want to touch it very much. And Lu Yaoyao's lips are also pink and tender.
As soon as the cake plate was taken by Chen Xiuyuan, Lu Yaoyao immediately withdrew his hand, and in a panic, he picked up the knife that cut the cake and cut another piece of cake.
Because of some panic, when Lu Yaoyao cut the second cake plate, she didn't notice the amplitude of the movement, so that the cake was cut to the ground by her knowing the force.
Chen Xiuyuan, who had witnessed all this, smiled imperceptibly, while Lu Yaoyao exhaled deeply with his back to him.
Luckily, fortunately. Chen Xiuyuan's eyes were not very convenient, and he couldn't see it very clearly, otherwise he would have seen this embarrassment of himself, but it was really ......
Thinking of this, Lu Yaoyao quickly got the cake that fell on the ground into the trash, and deliberately wiped the place where the cake fell on the ground with paper.
"By the way, there is a box on the table in the restaurant, which is a birthday present for you."
Chen Xiuyuan spoke out at the right time to alleviate Lu Yaoyao's embarrassment. After Lu Yaoyao listened to the words, he walked to the restaurant and took out the box that Chen Xiuyuan said.
The whole box is rectangular, black, the box is in the style of a flip cover, on the flip cover, there is a line of small gold characters and a golden one, like a dancing villain. The small print reads: The Dance of a Swan.
Lu Yaoyao looked at this familiar box style and roughly guessed what it was for a few years.
She walked to the living room, sat on the independent sofa opposite Chen Xiuyuan, put the box on her legs together, and exhaled deeply.
If she guessed correctly, what was in this box was a pair of dancing shoes that she had been thinking about for a long time, but had not bought for a long time.
Excited, she lifted the flap of the box – and sure enough, it was the dancing shoes.
There was a pair of golden dancing shoes quietly in the box, and Lu Yaoyao looked at it for a long time.
"How's it going, are you still satisfied with this gift?"
"Thank you, sir. I can't take it. ”
Chen Xiuyuan and Lu Yaoyao opened their mouths at the same time, and they also finished saying a sentence at the same time. Lu Yaoyao glanced at the dancing shoes again, then solemnly covered the box and placed it on the table in the living room.
Chen Xiuyuan's face was a little gloomy, he looked at the box on the table and didn't say a word.
"I'm sorry ......"
