Chapter 32: The Birthday Banquet
Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it is Ji Yunqing's seventeenth birthday, in addition to the Yan family and the Bian family, Sister Yan also invited Li Yu, after all, the relationship between Li Yu and Ji Yunqing is so good, so naturally she still has to invite her.
Zuo Aoqi and Ji Yunqing went to visit the Yan family and the Bian family on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, had lunch at the Yan family, and had dinner at the Bian family, but Bian Chen was not at home, and Master Bian and Mrs. Bian didn't know where he went. But it's only been the New Year for a long time.
This time it was Zuo Aoqi and Ji Yunqing who went to buy vegetables, and Zuo Aoqi made the dishes at night, so they went to buy vegetables and saw what they wanted to do at night.
【Supermarket】
The two of them are alone now, it's always a little embarrassing, they don't know what to say to each other, it seems that what they say is wrong, and if they don't say it, they feel very strange. They wandered around there for six or seven minutes, and the cart that Zuo Aoqi was pushing was still empty.
"Qingqing?"
When Ji Yunqing heard someone calling him, he immediately turned around, and he was really scared! It's Li Yu! Zuo Aoqi also reflexively turned around, this time it scared Li Yu. "Proud chess... Senior, you... You guys... How to be together? ”
"Uh... Ahem, no, I'm just staying at their house temporarily, not together. Ji Yunqing was particularly embarrassed to say this, of course, she also secretly glanced at Zuo Aoqi and found that he didn't say anything else.
"Oh, for the time being, why do you live in their house?"
"Well, I'll tell you in the evening, let's go grocery shopping first, and you can bring me a gift in the evening." Ji Yunqing suddenly smiled and said, in fact, she wanted to transfer this problem quickly and quickly escape from Li Yu's eyes, so she pulled Zuo Aoqi and left, Li Yu stood in place and smiled at her back as she left in a hurry.
"Qingqing, okay, don't run." This is the first thing Zuo Aoqi said to her in so many days, God knows how happy Ji Yunqing was when he said this.
"You're finally talking to me." Ji Yunqing looked at him, the happiness on his face was really obvious.
"So, can you tell me what you were thinking that day?" Zuo Aoqi asked while picking vegetables, but his eyes didn't seem to dare to look directly at Ji Yunqing.
Ji Yunqing looked at him, and also joined the team of picking vegetables, and then said lightly: "To be honest, I was indeed a little confused at first, after all, I didn't know why you liked me, and then I thought about it, it seemed that I was still a little happy at the time, but you didn't wait for me to give you an answer at that time, you left, and you have been cold for the past few days, and I don't know how to talk to you." ”
Zuo Aoqi nodded, and then stretched out his hand to touch Ji Yunqing's head, he could be regarded as understanding her thoughts, and suddenly smiled. took the vegetables in Ji Yunqing's hand and weighed them, then put them in the car, and then went to buy some meat, in short, every time they came to the supermarket, they had to buy a large cart of things, and the final checkout was more than 300 yuan.
【Zuo Mansion】
As soon as Zuo Aoqi came back, he went to the kitchen, after all, it was already more than three o'clock, and Aunt Bing chose to go to the open kitchen over there to make desserts.
"Ah Quan, go open the door, they're coming." Sister Yan ran out of the room and asked Uncle Quan to open the door, and then she hurried down to make tea.
"What about Yunqing? Let's get our birthday star out, I've got a good gift for her. Yan Ze has become "the first to arrive before the sound of the voice" in the past year.
"yes, and my old chess is not there?" They put the gifts on the table and went into the kitchen together.
Ji Yunqing came down from downstairs, and when he saw them, he naturally greeted them first, and then said to Sister Yan: "Sister Yan, I'll go out to pick up Li Yu." She nodded to everyone and went out.
"Li Yu? Lao Li's daughter is in the same class as Yunqing? Master Yan seemed to be a little surprised, he had cooperated with the Li family a few times, and he was very relieved of the Li family's character.
Sister Yan nodded, and sat down to chat with them, but Yan Ze happened to come out of the kitchen and heard this. "Is Li Yu coming too?"
"Yes, how do you know each other?"
"The five of us know each other, and we went out with her on National Day before." Knowing that Li Yu is here, Yan Ze's mood is really excited.
said that Cao Cao Cao would arrive, and Ji Yunqing brought Li Yu in, but Li Yu was still thinking about what they said on the road just now.
"Miss Yunqing, are you sure you don't explain?"
"My mother passed away and entrusted me to Aoqi's mother, so I live here."
"I see, okay okay, I see, let's go, take the gift I gave you, and go in."
"Uncle Hua, Sister Yan, Uncle Yan, Aunt Lin, Uncle Bian, Aunt Gong, hello, I am Li Yu, and I am a good friend of Ji Yunqing." As soon as Li Yu came in, he bowed to them very respectfully and greeted them politely.
"Okay, you were only three or four years old when I first met you, eh, what about Lao Li?" Uncle Yan looked at Li Yu, this girl can be regarded as something he grew up watching, and her character is definitely not worse than her father.
"My father was on a business trip, and then my mother went with him, so let's go on a trip."
"Eh, Yu, you don't know, your Uncle Yan will never take me with him on a business trip." Lin Fangyu deliberately pretended to be lost, and presumably waited for Master Yan to coax her.
"Not only you, we haven't been there." Gong Man chimed in.
Yan Ze walked over and said to Li Yu, "It's been a long time." ”
"Long time no see, Happy New Year." Every time she sees Yan Ze, she is happy, and that happiness is from the inside out, which is very obvious.
Yan Ze gave Li Yu a hug very gentlemanly, and said in a voice in her ear that only the two of them could hear: "This is the first time I have hugged a girl." Then let go of her and touched her head. Lin Fangyu rarely saw her son like this, and she was so excited that she was so excited that she was about to jump up.
Bian Chen and Zuo Aoqi also came out of the kitchen at this time, and when they saw this scene, they applauded in unison! Two red clouds instantly floated onto Li Yu's face, she never imagined that Yan Ze would make this move in a place where there were so many people.
Ji Yunqing walked next to Bian Chen, pulled him away, and then said, "Who is that photo you sent me?" ”
"Duan Yizhe."
"He's good-looking, don't you like him?"
Bian Chen nodded, and shook his head again, "I didn't know we had only met once." Suddenly remembered the picture of the first time he saw Duan Yizhe years ago:
That day, he was sitting alone by the window of the café with a book in his hand, and suddenly heard a very magnetic voice: "Boss, a cappuccino, thank you." He looked up and saw that it was a man in a navy blue suit, with a tall figure and three-dimensional facial features, but he didn't know why, but it gave people a cold feeling, and the chill exuded from his body made people dare not approach him, except Bian Chen, who stood up and said to him when he walked past him: "Hello, can we make friends?" The boy didn't seem to expect Bian Chen's sudden greeting, but he still shook his hand and said a good word. The two of them sat facing each other, "My name is Bian Chen, may I ask Your Excellency?" "Duan Yizhe is a writer." He glanced at the book in front of Bian Chen, and continued: "The book you are reading now is written by me. "Oh, yes, what a coincidence." They chatted very happily that day, and at the end Duan Yizhe left him the phone number, but he never had the courage to call.
"Hey, hey!"
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"It's okay, it's dinner, there's something else going on in the evening." She pulled Bian Chen back to the dining table, and when she saw Li Yu sitting next to Yan Ze, she was relieved.
"Qingqing, it's all your favorite dishes."
"Come, Yunqing, happy birthday." Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
After dinner, they chose to sit in the garden, eat fruits, eat desserts or something, anyway, everyone is happy today, and they don't care about their identity, what truth or dare, balloon stepping on everyone is very happy together.
"Eh, it's nine o'clock, let's go back first."
"yes, it's time for us to go."
"Okay, Li Yu, I'll let Ah Quan send you back."
"Thank you, Uncle Hua, goodbye, Sister Yan." The garden, which was still very noisy just now, was quiet this time, and it would be tomorrow to leave a pile of garbage, Uncle Hua and Sister Yan were really old, they chose to go back to the room, but Zuo Aoqi and Ji Yunqing also chose to sit in the garden and chat.
