When I was in my junior year, Brother Xiao Ran was already a senior student, and because of his talent, his professional credits were suspended early, and his senior year career can be described as outrageously free.

Since the last time I fell on my face and ate, he came to see me every once in a while, and every time he left, he didn't forget to take a photo of me secretly, and he didn't know if my photo could be sold for money!

Brother Xiao Ran is about to have a birthday again, I have to say, he is really a boy who loves birthdays, I have never seen a boy who likes birthdays more than him.

But I can understand that he has a birthday this time, because it is his twentieth birthday.

According to the usual practice, he still paid for my evening dress, but I am almost eighteen years old, and I am no longer a shameless little child, and I know that the man's hands are short, so although I have not yet been able to refuse him to buy a dress for me, I have the backbone to write an IOU to him, and I have made a total of the money for the evening dress over the years, and I owe him 30,000 yuan.

To be honest, I struggled for a long time when I figured out the money, but soon I gritted my teeth and signed my name, and I officially pressed the red handprint.

It stands to reason that Brother Xiao Ran, who has always been generous in paying my tuition, will not accept my IOU, but my life is full of accidents, he not only accepted my IOU, but also instructed his assistant to print another IOU for him - my tuition fee IOU for me to sign.

I looked at the close to 10 million fees on it, and I really wanted to roll my eyes and die! But my sanity tells me that now, immediately, immediately withdraw the IOU that was given to him, and the previous thing can be written off.

I didn't want to control my actions, so I immediately rushed up and grabbed the IOU in his hand and said, "Brother Xiao Ran, I wrote this note for fun, I see that your birthday is quite boring, just kidding, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously!" Huh..."

Brother Xiao Ran's attitude was very calm, he held my IOU high, now his height is already 185, my 165 is naturally incomparable, not to mention that he is like a gibbon, that note may not have been so high in the air in his life, swaying under the air outlet of the central air conditioner, as if dancing.

Brother Xiao Ran asked me, "Why do you want to write an IOU?" ”

I was stunned and replied to him: "You don't owe me, I can't take what you give me for granted every time." ”

Brother Xiao Ran smiled lightly: "Who said I gave it to you for free." ”

Hearing this, hundreds of thoughts instantly flooded my mind, and it probably took me about half a minute to cut them off one by one, and then I clutched my chest and asked him, "You won't... You really want me to be your wife, right? ”

Brother Xiao Ran glanced at me, shook his head with a helpless smile, and tore the IOU in his hand to shreds. Then I walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and I followed his gaze, and the building opposite was the headquarters of the Mousse Group, and we were located in the largest five-star hotel under the Mousse Group.

He said: "Actually, I'm not as good as you think, I'm good to you, but I just want you to study hard and grow up to be a strong woman who can be independent." He sighed softly when he said this, which made me even more confused, because didn't he sound like he was just saying it for my good? Why does he say he's bad?

Brother Xiao Ran paused for a long time before turning to look at me and asking, "Do you like Zhuo Ou?" ”

I couldn't figure out why he said that, but there was magic in his eyes that forced me to tell the truth.

I nodded and said, "Yes." ”

I saw Brother Xiao Ran laughing, the curvature of the corners of his mouth slowly blurred, it was that kind of beautiful smile, which was incomparable to the usual humble gentleman's light smile.

He let out a deep sigh again, which gave me the illusion that he liked me but was helpless to learn that I liked Zhuo Ou, but it was indeed my illusion, and the person he liked was not me.

He said in a deep and nice voice: "If you like it, then study hard, go to work at Mushi after graduation, and become a woman who is enough to match him." ”

I stared at him for some reason, but I didn't understand too much.

I asked, "Why do you want to go to Mousse to become a strong woman to match him?" He... Is it a powerful identity? Am I not worthy of him? ”

In fact, I am very stupid to ask, am I worthy of it, is his identity powerful, ask Brother Xiao Ran, what can he say? Contrary to my conscience, I still tell the truth, which will make me, a person with high self-esteem, feel sad.

Brother Xiao Ran naturally understands what I understand myself, so he didn't answer me, but just asked again: "Do you believe me?" ”

I don't believe him? Who else can you trust? From childhood to adulthood, in addition to my relatives, Brother Xiao Ran is the person I trust the most.

He approached me and smiled and touched my head, then bent his left arm out of an arc and said, "Let's go, the feast is about to begin." ”

At the banquet, I was still his fiancée, and I attended with him, went on stage together, and sat at the main table together to accept the envy, compliment, or malicious and vicious ridicule of so many people.

Actually, I don't understand, now that Barbie dolls have a handsome boyfriend who loves to death, who else does Brother Xiao Ran have to guard against? At such an age, isn't he afraid that I will change my heart and fall in love with him and entangle him?

Unlike previous parties, this year's banquet did not have many juniors, only the elders, and I was able to meet Barbie's parents, but I couldn't meet Barbie.

I know that now is not the right time to interrogate, I can only follow Brother Xiao Ran's side obediently, and try to use the fake smile and fake lady I learned from the etiquette training class to cover up my not too noble identity and not let Brother Xiao Ran lose face, despite this, I still met people who refused to let me go.

Since Brother Xiao Ran's fifteenth birthday, I have to go with him to toast the elders, although I drink all low-strength wines, my alcohol consumption is still good enough to support the whole banquet.

Today, I followed him as well, walking slowly and drinking slowly, but I tripped over an outstretched leg while passing through a two-table aisle, I had already learned taekwondo and karate at that time, but wearing a complicated evening dress and delicate high heels made it impossible for me to do difficult tumbling work, so although I grabbed the corner of Xiao Ran's clothes, I still fell.

When I looked back, the leg had been withdrawn, but I could clearly remember what kind of leg it was, what kind of clothes it was, who that person was...

Brother Xiao Ran came forward to help me, I didn't let him help me, I stood up with my hands on the ground, walked not far away, squatted down and picked up the goblet that had been spilled, slowly walked back, stood behind the lady and asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, what did I offend you?" ”

But from the young and lively style of her clothes and hairstyle, I can basically judge that this is either a junior from a rich family, or a junior who is so arrogant before she is in a position, but no matter what, I have no grievances with her.

When she turned her face, I admitted, I was surprised.

When she stood up, I was even more surprised.

She stood in front of me with her stomach up, held her head high and sneered: "You didn't offend me, but I just don't like you and want to teach you a lesson, how about it?" ”

To be honest, I admire such a person who dares to face the facts, and I admire her courage to speak out, but this does not prevent me from unforgiving her vexatious and unforgiving.

I held the glass in front of the waiter, who wanted to take it and get another one for me, but I held it tightly and the situation was awkward.

I opened my mouth and commanded, "Pour the wine and fill it up." ”

The waiter was a little embarrassed, because the wine at the banquet was all high-end red wine collected in the Mousse Hotel, so a whole glass was almost a thousand dollars to pour, and my cup was dirty, which meant that it was a waste to pour it.

Brother Xiao Ran nodded to the waiter, and then went to another table by himself, I think, he may not want to care about the matter between me and this woman, or maybe he thinks that there are too many people watching the excitement, and he wants to attract the attention of others.

As soon as the red wine glass was filled, I removed it, and to be honest, I was a little distressed that this glass of red wine should be used to pour on such a boring woman!

I was taller than her, I poured a whole glass of red wine over her head, and her screams completely drowned out the soft pure music of the scene.

The people around can no longer pretend not to care about not looking this way, because the vast majority of them are noble ladies who are distressed and extremely bored, how can they miss such good gossip?

Of course, what they saw was that I was bullying a pregnant woman, and no one knew about my fall just now except for the guests at the two tables, so in this way, the gossip flew towards the house of Brother Xiao Ran, the host of this banquet.

As soon as the banquet was over and all the guests were sent away, Aunt Mu unceremoniously accused me in front of Brother Xiao Ran, saying some big truths, in fact, didn't she see me fall? The big truth is just an excuse.

Brother Xiao Ran stood behind me and didn't speak, so I didn't speak.

I didn't feel like I was in trouble, but of course, even if I did, it was for my own lifelong happiness.

Aunt Mu really belonged to that group of noble ladies, and her three-inch incorruptible tongue spoke to me for half an hour without giving a single gap for people to interject, Uncle Mu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took her hand and walked out.

Aunt Mu couldn't struggle, so she had to staggered out with Uncle Mu. At this time, Brother Xiao Ran walked up to me, and he asked me, "Are you angry?" ”

I shook my head, "I'm not wrong, I'm just retaliating with a tooth for a tooth, why are you angry?" ”

Brother Xiao Ran smiled faintly, gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay!" ”

I was very upset, and at the same time my mind was a mess, and listening to his good words, the smile that I barely squeezed out must be very ugly.

Brother Xiao Ran sent me home, my father was waiting for me at home, he made a bowl of instant noodles and was eating on the coffee table while watching TV, I hung up my bag, went to the room to change into pajamas, and when he came out, he had finished eating.

When he saw me coming out, he beckoned me to come over, and said to me with a smile: "Li Li, your brother Xiao Ran is two years older than you, and you will be an eighteen-year-old girl soon, can Dad also hold a small party for you?" ”

I looked at him for a moment, pointed to the instant noodles on the table, and asked, "Instant noodle party?" ”

Dad laughed, "Let's go out to eat, Dad still has this money." In the middle of the year, Dad had already paid off all his debts, and now he has a little savings, which are all for you anyway. ”

I asked my dad, "How much money else?" ”

Dad must have been prepared, and immediately took out a passbook from under his butt and handed it to me.

I've seen this book, when my mother was still there, she was always worried that someone would rob me and let me follow her side to escort, I don't know what to think, I was not half a person tall from her at that time, and I was afraid that she would have to protect me if there was a robbery.

I opened it with trembling hands, thinking that what would pop into my eyes would be hundreds of billions of assets, but how could hundreds of billions of assets be put in the passbook! You can imagine how delusional I am.

There are 30,000 yuan in the passbook that is not as expensive as the dress I owe Xiao Ran, I smiled faintly, and then handed the passbook back to my father and said, "Let's keep it for you first, in the future, I will make a lot of money and save this passbook." ”

Dad smiled, shook his head, and handed me the fold and asked, "Can you do it?" ”

I took a closer look, and my father's smiling face was deeply wrinkled, a few gray hairs were faintly visible on his sideburns, and his nose was a little sore.

"No, I don't need a coming-of-age ceremony, I don't have so many vain requests."

Dad was stunned for a moment, and then grinned, "Okay, okay, it's okay if you don't do it, then I'll go grocery shopping then, you cook a few dishes at home, and invite friends to come to the house, okay?" ”

I still can't refuse this request, after all, I am also a child, and I also hope that my birthday will be blessed, especially since I am about to become an adult!

As far as I'm concerned, I don't need much, I just need friends and family who I care about and who I care about, that's enough, so, coming-of-age ceremony, birthday party, there's no need, like Brother Xiao Ran, isn't he also unhappy?

I nodded at my dad in agreement, and then he opened the recipe and began to order...

Oh, my God! Dad, do you really think of me as a hotel chef? My three-legged cat's kung fu, you dare to order a top lobster? Wait, and steak? Red wine steak?

I only felt a tingling on my scalp, and then without hesitation, I took the menu from my father's hands and took all the things on my shoulders, "Dad, I'm the chef, I'll decide the dishes!" Then, regardless of what he wanted to say, he took the recipe and went back to his room to study it.

I looked at the various dishes on the menu, this one without seasoning, and the one without ingredients, and I was depressed, so I remembered the foodie Barbie and called her, yes!
