Upper portion; Calm and prosperous Chapter 22 Birthday Confession

Time flies! There is only one week left in the blink of an eye, and the life-and-death battle between the Lianguo team and the Juguo team will be held at the Hwaseong National Gymnasium. All the members of the Lianguo team returned to the team for intensive training.

Liang Qiangping trains very hard, although he has a solid foundation, but after all, football is not played alone, it depends on the strength of the team. He relearned the rules of football and studied the latest strategies and tactics. He has cosmic energy, has a strong understanding, and many skills can be learned as soon as he learns them, and he will be able to master them all at once, and his skills have reached the realm of what he wants.

It has been a while since he came to Huacheng, and Song Xi often called Liang Qiangping to greet him, saying that he was greeting, but he actually missed it. It will be her twenty-sixth birthday in two days, and she has made an appointment before coming to Hwaseong, and she will definitely be there to celebrate her birthday. Yesterday, Song Xi also called and invited him back to Jinlin to attend the birthday party.

The big battle was imminent, and Liang Qiangping didn't want to be distracted and concentrate on practicing. But after all, there was a word first, and he personally promised Song Xi that he would accompany her on her birthday and could not break his promise.

Liang asked Kane for leave and was moved by emotion. Impressed by his sincerity, Kane granted him two days off and three days later, after which he had to return.

Joining the national team is to compete in the World Cup, the country has national laws, and the team has team rules. Liang Qiangping is used to being free, and he is not used to suddenly having to accept so many rules and constraints. He is confident in his own quality and the only requirement is that he is free to come and go whenever he wants, to come when he has a game and to do what he likes when he is not playing. He informed Kane of his idea.

Of course, Kane is not allowed, football matches are not individual competitions, even individual competitions must comply with athlete regulations, how can you have such an idea?

Liang didn't want to argue with him, and waited until he won this game before making a decision. At the same time, he asked to use a stage name when he went on the expedition. His ability comes from Chinese culture, and he is grateful for the careful teachings of the white-haired old man. Therefore, he decided to give himself a stage name and call him Zhonghua Boy.

Kane has no objection, as long as he can win this game, he promises you everything.

The scenery of Jinlin City is pleasant, and the scenery on both sides of the Li River is unlimited. Since the beginning of winter, the river has entered a dry period, and the riverbed in the river has been exposed. Despite the colder weather, there is still a steady stream of tourists.

On the east bank of the Li River, a farmhouse manor welcomed important customers today. First, a man and two women came to discuss the banquet. One of the two daughters has long hair and a shawl, a slender figure, and a gentle and delicate face, which is Song Xi. Another woman, with a slightly chubby figure, a hairstyle with bangs, dyed blonde hair, and a similar age to Song Xi, is Song Xi's best friend Lin Qing. The man is tall and has a festive face, it is Lu Hui.

Today is Song Xi's twenty-sixth birthday, and she has made an appointment with relatives and friends to gather together tonight. The important thing is that Liang Qiangping rushed back from Hwaseong today to celebrate her. Therefore, Song Xi deliberately found this farmhouse, firstly, Liang Qiangping likes a quiet and natural environment, and secondly, it is a large place and can also organize activities. It seems that she is holding a birthday party for Liang Qiangping. In her heart, her birthday is small, and Liang Qiangping can come back to celebrate her birthday with her. Her heart was full of Liang Qiangping. If you don't see each other for a day, you can see that you are not young, and it is time to find someone you love to marry. She fantasized that Liang Qiangping would surprise herself at the banquet, and this surprise was important to her. She expressed her heart to Liang Qiangping many times on the phone. Liang Qiangping didn't say accept it, nor did he say no. She believes that Liang Qiangping will love herself, of course, not the kind of love that her brother loves her sister. What she needs is a man who truly loves her.

The trio left the property after discussing the birthday party with the owner of the property. Song Xi and her best friend Lin Qing went to the beauty shop to put on makeup and dress up. Lu Hui drove to the airport to pick up Liang Qiangping.

At 3 p.m., Liang Qiangping's plane arrived at Jinlin International Airport. Lu Hui was already waiting at the exit of the airport.

I haven't seen him for a short period of time, Liang Qiangping is already the main player of the national team, which is really gratifying! After receiving Liang Qiangping, Lu Hui couldn't help but praise him.

Liang Qiangping didn't have the kind of joy he thought in his heart. He originally didn't want to be famous, it was good to be an ordinary person, quiet and quiet, no one bothered him! In order to win the dignity of Lianguo football, he decided to compete in the World Cup. Now it seems that it is difficult to become famous. He encouraged Lu Hui to train hard, and the opportunity would come sooner or later.

Lu Hui put on a pessimistic look, his ability is very clear, he is self-aware, let it be, who knows what the future will be!

Liang Qiangping laughed, being able to have such a mentality means that you have matured and grown a lot!

Lu Hui drove, the two chatted all the way, and when he was young, he asked Liang Qiangping, "What surprise are you going to give to Song Da Beauty today?" ”

Liang Qiangping smiled slightly: "What? You did her undercover? ”

Lu Hui smiled: "I don't have such a big blessing, the beauty of Song is all about you, how can you use me." ”

Liang Qiangping could see that Lu Hui liked Song Xi, and he had been pestering Song Xi since he went to school. At that time, I was young and didn't know love, I only knew how to be cool. But Song Xi didn't have much affection for him. In Song Xi's eyes, he is a rich kid who loves to bully people and is cynical since he was a child.

Lu Hui had shown favor to Song Xi many times when he was playing in Lianjia, and on the day he won the Player of the Year in Lianjia, he confessed to Song Xi with the trophy, but he didn't expect to be rejected by her on the spot, so that he lost face in front of his friends. In the past two years, he has been injured and suspended, and his spirit has been sluggish, mostly related to feelings. Now it's good that Liang Qiangping is back, Song Xi loves Liang Qiangping deeply, and it is even more impossible for her to accept herself. At this time, he was completely dead, and his mood was relieved.

Liang Qiangping was also very conflicted in his heart, he could feel Song Xi's love for him, but he had always treated her as his sister. He is accustomed to being alone, advocating freedom and freedom, and does not like the hustle and bustle of big cities. He loves nature and the feeling of natural harmony with all things. He also felt that he was a strange person, probably from staying in the Daojing Valley for a long time!

When night falls, the banks of the Li River are brightly lit. From the sky, the Li River is like a long dragon winding around the entire Jinlin City.

The farmhouses on the east coast are much busier than usual. The proprietor took over the entire estate. The estate is not big, but it is enough for a birthday party. The owner of the farmhouse has decorated the restaurant according to the owner's requirements to create a strong party atmosphere.

At seven o'clock, the people attending the party came one after another. Some of the people came here for leave, some came in a hurry after work, and some put down their work and came temporarily after handing over to their subordinates.

Song Xi, the protagonist of the banquet, was the first to arrive at the farmhouse accompanied by his best friend Lin Qing. The two of them put on makeup for an afternoon, as if the bride was getting married, and they almost didn't wear a wedding dress.

Song Xi received relatives and friends who came to the banquet in the living room. Most of them are their classmates and colleagues, as well as relatives who live nearby. Her mother Yin Ni and brother Song Quan also came. Father Song Renjie couldn't come back because of a visit abroad, so he had to send her blessings through online video.

The two brothers, Lu Hong and Lu Zhong, also came. They not only brought birthday wishes to Song Xi, but also brought their company's newly developed smart camera to Song Xi to shoot the banquet in an all-round way and send it to Song Xi as a souvenir. For Song Xi, that was the most precious gift.

For a while, the living room was full of laughter and excitement.

Lu Hong and Lu Zhong began to debug their smart cameras. The device consists of five miniature rotary-wing smart cameras, which can shoot in real time from five directions: east, west, south, north and up.

The excellent display of the two attracted the young people present, and they posed for fashion photos one after another, and they were very busy!

Nowadays, most of the people attending the meeting are present.

Song Xi kept looking anxiously towards the door of the living room, wondering why hadn't they come yet? The people she said were naturally Liang Qiangping and Lu Hui.

After Lu Hui picked up Liang Qiangping at the airport, he first took him to the house where he lived to wash up, and the time was nearly six o'clock. Liang Qiangping was in a hurry from Huacheng and didn't buy a gift for Song Xi, so he called Lu Hui to buy a gift with him.

The two walked around the mall and didn't know what to buy. Liang Qiangping hadn't been in contact with the world for a long time, and he couldn't think of what gift to give Song Xi for a while.

Lu Hui gave him an idea and suggested that he buy a ring. Liang thought to himself, this is a birthday party, not a marriage proposal, and it is not appropriate to give a ring.

It seems that Lu Hui wants to promote a pair of them in his heart. Lu Hui continued to give him ideas, saying that he would buy clothes, jewelry, bags, cosmetics and so on.

Liang Qiangping always felt that it was not suitable, Song Xi was not the kind of person who loved vanity.

The two walked to the door of a bookstore, and Liang Qiangping looked into the bookstore and suddenly had an idea. Song Xi likes to read books the most, her articles are first-class and good, I should give her this book. Her favorite copy of "Scarborough Manor" was given to her.

Lu Hui couldn't figure out why Liang Qiangping chose to send the book to Song Xi. Now that we are in the era of Internet intelligence, what books you want to read, you can search for any books on the Internet, and you still need to buy books to read?

Liang Qiangping ignored Lu Hui's complaints and walked into the bookstore quickly to find a book. The bookstore wasn't big, and the books he was looking for weren't sold here. Seeing that the time was not early, Liang Qiangping was very anxious. The owner of the bookstore advised him to place an order online and send it by express delivery.

Lu Hui had no choice but to do it for him, he took out his mobile phone, and completed the order after a simple operation.

This trick really worked, and it took less than half an hour from the time the order was placed to the time the book was delivered to the bookstore in the mall. Liang was very surprised, the power of intelligent technology is indeed convenient and fast!

After receiving the book, the two quickly left the bookstore and drove to the farmhouse on the east bank of the Li River.

Song Xi looked at the clock on his phone, it was almost eight o'clock, why hadn't they been there yet?

Lu Hui had called her just now and told her that she was on the way and would be there soon.

Lv Hong and Lv Zhong have already debugged the smart camera. The people in the living room no longer have the passion they had just now, they are tired of standing, so they find a chair nearby to sit down, take out their mobile phones to play.

Yin Ni saw that Song Xi kept looking towards the door, looking at her face full of anxiety, could it be that something was wrong? She walked over. My daughter is dressed so beautifully today, even more beautiful than when she was younger. Today she is like a bride, a bride to be married. The daughter's mind is the mother's clearest, since Liang Qiangping came back, her life is full of him.

Song Xi saw his mother walking towards him, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly.

Yin Ni asked her, "Daughter, are they still here?" ”

Song Xi nodded.

Yin Ni continued: "It's good to come, and you don't have to worry too much. ”

Song Xi raised his head and whispered, "Mom, what do you think of Crazy Ping?" ”

Yin Ni knows what her daughter wants to say, could it be that she wants to confess to Liang Qiangping tonight? I'm afraid that Liang Qiangping is not mentally prepared. She smiled and said, "Of course he is good, he is a big hero, and his daughter is in love with him?" ”

Song Xi's face was suddenly flushed, thinking that her mother knew what she was thinking, so she nodded lightly.

Yin Ni said, "Okay! Your daughter's vision is good, and your mother supports you. ”

Song Quan saw his mother and sister talking and laughing at the door of the living room, but he didn't know what to say. He walked over curiously, and suddenly exclaimed, "I'm coming!" Are you speaking ill of anyone? "He's not young, but he's like a child who hasn't grown up.

Yin Ni was really taken aback by him. Song Xi's face turned and he said, "Let's just say you, the boss is not small, and he is still like a child." ”

Song Quan grimaced at her and said with a smile: "Who are the children?" What's the matter, I'm your brother too. ”

Yin Ni came to her senses and said to Song Quan: "You kid, when can you let your mother save some snacks, you should learn from your sister." ”

Song Quan was a little unconvinced, and walked away with a grimace.

At this time, there was a car horn outside the door, and it was estimated that they had arrived.

When everyone heard the horn, they all stopped their mobile phones and stood up.

Song Xi walked out in small steps. She wears a silver-white dress with a beige trench coat over it. Her long black hair was tied into a bow and tied around her head. Pure and light makeup was put on on his face. Big, bright eyes sparkled. The little red lips are like ripe peaches in March. Her smile and smile are intoxicating.

Sure enough, it was Liang Qiangping and they arrived.

Everyone walked out of the living room. Song Xi stepped forward. Liang got out of the car, and when he saw that he was late, he apologized. He took a gift box, walked up to Song Xi, handed it to her with both hands, and blessed: "Happy birthday!" Your favorite "Scarborough Manor", like it? ”

Song Xi's face was full of happy smiles, and he couldn't imagine that Liang Qiangping still remembered his favorite book, which was too touching. She took the gift box with both hands, hugged it tightly in her arms, and looked at Liang Qiangping with affection in her eyes.

Lu Hui also walked over after parking the car, and saw Song Xi looking at Liang Qiangping with joy on his face, his eyes were fascinated, how happy she should be at this moment! It seems that Liang Qiangping really understands Song Xi!

Yin Ni stepped forward and greeted, "Everyone is here, let's enter the living room, the banquet should begin." ”

Song Xi took Liang Qiangping's hand and walked towards the living room shyly. Liang Qiangping didn't think much about it and followed her into the living room.

There were so many people at the banquet tonight that a large round table filled the entire living room. Many people don't know Liang Qiangping, but they know him. The famous Liang Qiangping no one knows, although they have been waiting for a long time tonight, but it is such an honor to be able to have dinner with the big hero!

Song Xi is the birthday star, and she sits as chairman. On the left, next to the beam, Yin Ni sits, and other relatives and friends sit in turn.

Song Quan followed Song Xi's meaning and arranged the guests well. Tonight, he's tasked with running errands.

After everyone was seated, Song Xi stood up and introduced her relatives and friends to Liang Qiangping one by one.

When they met for the first time, Liang Qiangping didn't know what to say, so he responded with a little bit.

Song Xi was very happy tonight, this was the first time she had held such a big banquet. At first, I was very nervous, for fear that I would not be able to cope with it, but fortunately, with my mother and brother helping Zhang Luo, the banquet was successfully held.

Everyone asked Song Xi to give a birthday speech.

It's a bit of a bummer for her. Although she could stand on the podium and talk endlessly for three days and three nights, in front of many relatives and friends, she was full of shyness and didn't know what to say for a while!

She thought about it for a long time, and saw that everyone kept urging her, so she said in a hurry: "Open the meal!" ”

The crowd booed...... laughed at her.

My best friend Lin Qing relieved the siege and said: "What we Song Da Beauty means is that everyone is hungry, eat first, eat enough before giving a speech." ”

Everyone was immediately happy and deeply admired Lin Qing's wit in solving the siege.

Song Quan called the waiter and arranged for the food to be served.

The meals at the farmhouse are deeply local, and most of the ingredients are raised and grown in the manor, which is natural and pollution-free. Song Xi knew that Liang Qiangping liked this taste, so he specially found this farmhouse as a banquet venue. She thinks about Liang Qiangping everywhere, and has already married herself to him in advance.

Naturally, drinking is indispensable for banquets. Tonight they drank red wine mixed with Sprite, although the wine was not strong, but it was full of stamina. Everyone took turns to toast Song Xi, wishing her a happy birthday and finding Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible!

Liang felt very unnatural sitting next to her, he didn't like to be lively in the first place, and banquets were his least favorite thing. However, after all, it is Song Xi's birthday, so she can't be ruined.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Song Xi already felt dizzy and couldn't drink anymore.

Everyone asked Liang Qiangping to save the beauty and drink for Song Xi. Although Liang Qiangping doesn't like to drink, he can drink, depending on what everyone means, he has to do it himself. He suddenly came to the momentum, and he did not refuse. He has cosmic energy, his physique is super strong, and alcohol has little effect on him. After a toast, he drank thirty or fifty glasses.

Everyone is surprised, the big heroes are different, and the amount of alcohol is invincible!

Yin Ni didn't want to see them get drunk, so she dissuaded: "It's good for everyone to have fun, but don't get drunk." ”

Song Quan was clever and asked the waiter to withdraw the wine and replace it with a fruit drink.

Lu Hui, Lu Hong, Lu Zhong and Liang Qiangping drank more than ten cups one after another. When I was a child, I was a rival, but now it's okay, I smile at the grudge, and I am a brother when I drink.

The Internet technology company founded by Lu Hong and Lu Zhong is developing rapidly, and they are ready to go public in Xiping next year and do a big job!

Liang Qiangping congratulated his two brothers on their successful careers, and never imagined that the two brothers, who were timid and afraid of things when they were young, would start their own business when they grew up, and they were happy for them from the bottom of my heart!

Lu Hui congratulated Liang Qiangping on joining the national team, and he will definitely come to the scene to cheer for him in the battle of life and death of Lian and Ju next week.

Liang Qiangping encouraged Lu Hui not to give up lightly at any time, persistence is victory.

Lin Qing accompanied Song Xi, and a group of big men took care of drinking and left the birthday star out in the cold.

Song Xi drank a glass of juice and felt a lot clearer, this wine is really not delicious!

The banquet is coming to an end. Song Quan saw that the time was up, so he turned off the living room headlights and turned on the neon lights.

At this time, the music in the living room played. Amid the sound of musical blessings, the waiter slowly pushed the birthday cake in.

Half of the wine on everyone's bodies woke up, and they all stood up, slowly gathered around the birthday star, beat their hands to the beat, and softly sang birthday songs.

Song Xi's face was full of joy, this moment was the happiest and happiest moment in her life, unforgettable!

Under the neon lights, Song Xi's face bloomed with endless laughter, and at this moment she was like Snow White, and everyone sang around her.

Song Quan put candles on the birthday cake, and today is his sister's twenty-sixth birthday, so he put twenty-six candles.

The cake is large and has three layers. Ten are inserted in the first and second floors, and six are inserted in the third layer, which is not only not crowded, but also extraordinarily chic.

It was time to make a wish, and the crowd fell silent. Song Quan and Lin Qing had lit candles. Song Xi was facing the candlelight, his hands were folded, his eyes were slightly closed, he was silent for a while, and then he opened his eyes and blew out the candle with Song Quan and Lin Qing.

The crowd cheered and applauded. Song Quan turned on the living room headlights. The living room suddenly became as bright as day.

The joy on Song Xi's face could not be concealed. Everyone proposed that Song Xi should make a speech, and what had been said before the meal was not allowed to be repaid.

Song Xi looked around, did he really have to say? Her mood suddenly tensed.

Everyone continued to urge her, and she had to say a few words.

Song Xi looked at Liang Qiangping. Liang Qiangping supported her speech. Song Xi paused for a long time, and after a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to say, "It seems that I can't hide tonight!" If I really want to say something, I want to say......" She stopped talking, for fear of saying something wrong.

The crowd waited impatiently and shouted.

Lin Qing encouraged loudly: "Good sister, if you want to say it, you can say it boldly, we support you." ”

Song Xi gently pressed his chest with both hands, forced his composure, looked up at Liang Qiangping and said, "I want to say... Liang Qiangping, I love you. Her face turned red suddenly, and the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time finally burst out.

Everyone applauded her in unison, and it is estimated that this is the game they set up together, and they want to give Liang Qiangping an unexpected surprise.

Lin Qing clapped her hands, squeezed to Song Xi's side, and pushed her into Liang Qiangping's arms.

Liang Qiangping was at a loss for a while, is it true that Sister Song Xi is here? She understands her intentions, but she really has no love for children, only brother and sister!

The crowd pushed them together. Song Xi lowered his head slightly.

Liang Qiangping was worried that things would get more and more misunderstandings, so he hugged Song Xi's shoulders and said, "Good sister, thank you for your love for me!" You know me, I... It's not that I don't like you, in this world, you are my dearest person. We've been together since we were kids, and if it hadn't been for the flood that swept me away more than a decade ago, we'd have been doing well. But now, I am not the same person I used to be, it's hard to say! ”

The crowd fell silent. Liang Qiangping doesn't love Song Xi? So what to do! Can Song Xi's little heart withstand the blow?

Song Xi looked at Liang Qiangping with blank eyes. She mustered up the courage to confess to him in front of everyone, thinking that her dream would come true, but she didn't expect Liang Qiangping to reject herself, her heart was like a broken glass bottle, the heart-rending pain, and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes.

Lin Qing said to Liang Qiangping: "Liang Qiangping, Song Xi loves you so much, how can you bear to hurt her?" ”

Lu Hui pushed Liang Qiangping's arm, stared at him with straight eyes and said, "It's not easy for her, I've been waiting for you for more than ten years, how can you bear it?" ”

Liang Qiangping has a hard time, and he doesn't know how to tell them.

Yin Ni comforted Song Xi and said, "Child, this matter can't be rushed, isn't it too hasty?" You've got to give me some time to prepare, and even Mom was surprised! ”

Song Xi threw herself into Yin Ni's arms and cried: "Mom, I love him so much, I really love him." ”

Yin Ni persuaded: "Mom understands your feelings, Mom was impulsive when she was your age, but Ah emotional matters can't be rushed, you have to give the other party some time, you can't be in a hurry." ”

Song Xi has cried into tears, without Liang Qiangping, she would rather die, what is the point of living!

Lu Hui stepped forward to comfort Song Xi and said, "Xixi, just listen to your mother's words, don't get excited, it hurts your body like this." ”

Song Xi didn't want to listen to anyone, she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, so as not to be embarrassed here. She broke free from Yin Ni's embrace and glanced fiercely at everyone, you are all looking at my jokes, am I stupid? Self-inflicted! I hate you to death. She turned and ran towards the door of the living room, and no one could stop her!

Song Quan chased after him and shouted, "Sister, where are you going?" ”

Song Xi shouted fiercely: "Don't worry about you, you are all bad people......"

The crowd chased out of the living room door.

Song Xi cried bitterly and ran outside desperately.
