Chapter 246: Empty rejoice
He really didn't know if Su Yimo had taken Gu Lichen's birthday to heart, whether he would be interested in buying gifts, cakes, and preparing birthday surprises for him, so he didn't have much to say.
"Sullen, have something on your mind?"
Gu Lichen saw his depressed little face, pinched his little face, and asked, "Don't want to go to grandpa and grandma's house?" ”
"No, it's just a little reluctant Mommy."
Xiaobao casually found a reason.
"Bullshit, it's not like you haven't been separated from your mommy." Gu Lichen could see at a glance that he was lying, but he didn't continue to get to the bottom of it, everyone should have secrets, including children.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. After eating, you go up and pack your things, we won't be back tonight. ”
He led him to the table and carried him to the chair.
"Oh."
Xiaobao picked up a burrito and ate it tastelessly, and when he was halfway through eating, he suddenly raised his head, stared straight at Gu Lichen, and said, "Dabi..."
"Huh?"
Gu Lichen swallowed the milk in his mouth and glanced at him.
"Nothing..."
Xiaobao's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything after all.
He was afraid that if Mommy really prepared a surprise for Dabi, wouldn't he be exposed when he said this? And isn't it more embarrassing to be unprepared?
Forget it, he doesn't care, let them "fend for themselves".
He was really tired.
Every time they have to worry about the relationship status of the two of them.
Bearing the maturity and stability that he shouldn't have at this age, he is really hard!
…
After a few days of busy work in the factory, Su Yimo finally returned to the company.
As soon as Andy saw her, he hugged her.
"Yimo, you're finally back, I miss you."
"You're exaggerating, I'm not going to be there for a few days, right, look at your appearance, how can it be like I've been away for two or three years."
Although Su Yimo's tone was disgusted, her expression was as happy as hers.
She hugged her, patted her on the back, pushed her away and asked, "Is there time for noon?" ”
Andy raised an eyebrow, "Of course you ask, why are you?" Invite me to dinner. ”
"It's okay to eat, but you have to go shopping with me!"
Su Yimo walked to the desk and took out the computer, design drawings, and materials in the bag.
"No problem, it's not a problem, as long as there is food, you let me accompany me."
"Look at my lip shape, g-u-n!"
The two laughed and joked for a while, and began to get to the point.
"What are you going to buy? In such a hurry, do you have to go shopping at noon today? ”
"Gu Lichen has a birthday, I'll buy him a birthday gift."
Su Yimo threw a few roses into the teapot, walked to the water dispenser with the teapot, and said.
"Oh~ It turned out to be a birthday present for him, hey, you two... To what extent? Did you roll the order? When to get married? When will I have a second child? Not! ”
Su Yimo thought she was verbose, and took a strawberry to block her mouth.
"Go to work, look at the papers on your desk, they're all piling up!"
Su Yimo didn't want to hear her buzzing in her ears like a fly, so she pushed her out.
"You're so cruel!"
As soon as he heard the word work, Andy suddenly languished like a deflated ball.
During this time, Su Yimo was busy, she was not easy, and the workload was huge, prompting her to return to the overtime career of getting off work at nine o'clock.
After sending Andy away, Su Yimo was just about to return to his desk to concentrate on his work, when there were several knocks on the door.
"You're not finished, if you don't work hard, I tell you that I can tell Mr. Shen to lower your salary, Shen... Brother Zhuo? ”
Su Yimo thought it was still Andy, and turned around impatiently, but she was shocked as soon as she opened the door.
Because it was not Andy who was standing at the door, but Shen Zhuo.
"Otherwise, you think it's Andy?"
The corners of Shen Zhuo's mouth hooked a warm smile, and he said softly.
"yes, she just came to bother me, I kicked her out, I thought she was back."
Su Yimo touched the back of her head embarrassedly and said.
"You... Looks like you're skinny again? ”
Shen Zhuo saw that her face was smaller again, her chin was sharp, and she asked distressedly.
"No, I don't know, I'm too busy to even have time to weigh myself."
Su Yimo blinked her big eyes, pinched the flesh on her face, and pouted.
She looked cute, Shen Zhuo was tempted for a while, and couldn't help but raise his hand, wanting to rub her hair.
Seeing that his hand was stretched out, Su Yimo was startled, and then reflexively took a step back and dodged.
She lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at him, frowning, her expression tinged with a hint of distress.
Shen Zhuo regretted it after raising his hand, regretting why he was so abrupt and embarrassed her.
But after seeing her move of taking a step back, his heart was instantly pinched fiercely, regretting being squeezed away by a huge sense of loss, and his whole heart was stuffed.
Neither of them spoke again.
Their actions towards each other just now seemed to have opened a huge chasm between them.
After a few seconds of silence, Su Yimo took the lead in breaking the embarrassing atmosphere.
She glanced at Shen Zhuo apologetically, pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry..."
Shen Zhuo shook his head, the corners of his mouth were still hooked, but there was a little more bitterness in this smile.
"You're not sorry for me, it's me... I didn't have a good grasp of proportion, you are busy, I am going to be busy too. ”
After speaking, Shen Zhuo turned around, pushed the door and left.
Su Yimo looked at his back, her eyes were red, her lips moved, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything after all.
Loving someone is happier than being loved, at least you don't feel indebted.
…
In the evening, Su Yimo did not work overtime and got off work normally.
She drove to the supermarket, bought two large bags of vegetables, went to the cake shop, picked up the ordered cakes, and then returned to Jinghua Art Garden.
As soon as she came back, she changed her shoes, didn't even change her clothes, and went to the kitchen with two large bags of vegetables.
She had to make this sumptuous meal before Gu Lichen got off work, so she was in a hurry.
She washed and chopped vegetables, and was busy for more than an hour, and her tired waist was about to break, so she made this meal decent, full of color, flavor, and flavor.
Su Yimo brought the dishes to the restaurant one by one, dismantled the cake, put it in the middle, and put the candles in it.
After doing all this, she looked at the time, it was just right, it was perfect.
She took off her apron, endured hunger, and sat down at the table waiting for him.
After sitting for more than ten minutes, she realized that she hadn't heard Xiaobao's movement since she came back. He's still in class?
It should be, he is actually not much easier than her, Gu Lichen added a few more classes to him, and he almost went from morning to night.
Thinking like this, Su Yimo put her mind at ease and continued to wait for Gu Lichen.
But she waited for more than half an hour, but she still didn't see him come back.
Did you work overtime?
Why did you come back so late today?
Confused, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Gu Lichen's number.
Family.
The Gu family is celebrating Gu Lichen's birthday, so it's not lively.
But Gu Lichen didn't feel very happy, he only felt noisy and annoying, he didn't like this kind of deliberate, even some contrived occasions.
Everyone is wishing him a happy birthday, but how many people are truly happy about his birth from the bottom of their hearts?
Seeing Su Yimo's call, a hint of joy flashed in his boring eyes.
He got up, went to the balcony, and pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
Song Yihan, who had finished lighting the candle, saw him go to the balcony to answer the phone, and a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he also followed.
"Where are you? Are you still in the company? ”
Su Yimo's white fingertips rubbed the red wine glass and asked.
"I'm in the old house, my grandparents said that I miss Xiaobao, and I happened to have time, so I took him over for two days."
"Old mansion? Then you're tonight..."
Su Yimo just wanted to ask him if he wouldn't come back at night? Did you spend your birthday there, or did you spend it with her? A female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Song Yihan walked behind Gu Lichen and spoke, "Brother Lichen, it's time to blow out the candles." ”
Her voice was neither loud nor small, which happened to be heard by Su Yimo.
Su Yimo's hand shook and knocked the cup on the table.
Su Yimo took a breath and wanted to help, but it was too late.
Half a glass of red wine was spilled, and it happened to be spilled on the cake, and the bright red liquid stained the snow-white cream red, looking miserable and embarrassed.
Gu Lichen glanced back at Song Yihan, and his dissatisfaction was overflowing.
Song Yihan pursed his mouth aggrievedly, "Then I'll go back first, remember to hurry up, the candle will burn out later." ”
She turned to leave, and then, the corners of her mouth hooked into a smug smile.
Gu Lichen didn't look at her again, and gave a perfunctory "um".
"What did you just want to say?" He asked Su Yimo.
"It's nothing, it's late, sleep, I'm sleepy."
Su Yimo didn't wait for him to say anything, his finger tapped the screen and hung up the phone.
She put her phone on the table, looked at the table in a daze, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Originally... He went back to his old house to celebrate his birthday with Song Yihan.
She exhaled, raised her hand, wiped away the tears from her face, picked up her chopsticks, and ate the dishes on the table as if she were chewing wax.
She tasted it after making it, and it was obviously delicious, but why did it become so unpalatable now.
It was so unpalatable that she wanted to cry.
…
The old house of the Gu family.
Gu Lichen put down the phone with a disappointed expression.
He thought she had called to wish him a happy birthday and wanted to celebrate his birthday with him.
But it's not...
He doesn't care what other people think, because if he is really happy or unhappy about his birth, he doesn't care, but he cares about her, and if there is only one person in the whole world who is happy because of his birth, he wants that person to be her.
But she... I didn't know his birthday at all, because she never asked.
She never wanted to get to know him, to know what his birthday was, his preferences, his life...
He knows that in this relationship, he is the one who takes the initiative and is the one who gives more affection.
But sometimes, he also hopes to get a little care and love from her.
He's not really invincible, and he also has moments of vulnerability that he wants to lean on.
Jinghua Art Garden.
Su Yimo couldn't hold on anymore, but she still didn't want to stop.
Finally, her stomach couldn't take it anymore.
Her stomach was churning, she covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
She lay on the toilet and vomited out all the brains she had just eaten.
