Chapter 288: Gifts
Halfway through eating, I said I was going to the bathroom and slipped to the restaurant manager.
The music stopped, and the manager came out with a smile and explained, "There is a gentleman's birthday today, and his wife wants to give him a song, please forgive me for delaying everyone for a few minutes." β
Listening to the sound of noise in my ears, I sat down at the back of the piano, stared intently at the black and white keys in front of me, and then mustered up the courage to put my hands on them.
When the melody came out, my heartbeat slowly calmed down, and all my attention was focused on my fingers, for fear of playing it wrong.
For a person who has never studied the piano, it is impossible to have any amazing level, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Lu Zhoucheng.
I saw him leaning on the seat with his head in his hand, with a smile in his eyes, and it was not in vain that I practiced by rote for half a month.
Returning to his seat amid the applause around him, before he could say a word, the manager came over and offered a delicate dessert.
There was something like a fairy stick stuck in the dessert, and after it was lit, the stars shimmered, "This is a gift from our hotel, I wish Mr. Lu a happy birthday!" β
"Thank you!"
Lu Zhou thanked him, watched the manager leave, and then turned back in the ambiguous sight around him, his eyes burning, "You can still play the piano?" β
I honestly shook my head, "This will be the one." β
"When did you learn it?"
"Just, the other day."
was stared at by his scorching peach blossom eyes, which made people a little unbearable, and lowered his head and pushed the dessert in front of him, "Eat it!" β
The spoon was handed in front of him, and he looked up to meet the long eyes, "You can help me taste it." β
I blushed and ate it, and Lu Zhoucheng asked, "Is it delicious?" β
I nodded, and the man shoved the spoon into my hand, childishly opening his mouth, "You feed me." β
In fact, my heart is resistant, I don't have to look back to know that there are several pairs of eyes looking, two people who are almost sixty years old together, don't be so naΓ―ve!
But in the face of those affectionate eyes, I can't bear to refuse, so dare to play such bumpy tunes, what kind of face do you want!
As he wished, Lu Zhoucheng was happy and continued to eat his steak.
I'm already full, absentmindedly munching on the vegetable salad, and he can hear the tune I played just now?
I was going to go to the movies after eating, but now I went to the bar instead, and the thought of seeing Ai Ai later suddenly made me feel unbeautiful.
Zhou Ming looks very shrewd, why can't he think so much about emotional matters?
I itched for a while, so I couldn't help but say a few words, Lu Zhoucheng leaned on the position and said lazily: "It's not that I can't think about it, it's that he owes others." β
Suddenly hearing this, my brain instantly opened, could it be that Boss Zhou was drunk and messed with people?
Lu Zhoucheng took a look at it and knew that I was thinking nonsense again, "That kid dropped out of high school and led a group of children to cause trouble everywhere, and ended up messing with people who shouldn't be messed with." β
Speaking of this, Lu Zhoucheng paused, "What can a bunch of little children do?" Something happened one ran faster than the other, and then a man named Ah Yue called the police and saved Lao Zhou's life, but it didn't take long for Ah Yue to die, and the body was thrown into the river, and it was stiff when it was fished up. β
It's a ghost story!
I rolled my throat and asked in a low voice, "What happened later?" β
"Later, Lao Zhou avenged Ah Yue, fled to other places to avoid the limelight, and became a soldier by chance, and the one who died was Ai Ai's eldest brother."
Speaking of this, Lu Zhoucheng paused for a moment and turned his head to look at me, "Lao Zhou feels that he killed Ah Yue, and he has been blaming himself all these years. β
These were all said by Zhou Ming himself, after that time when they fought.
Over the years, he has been taking care of Ah Yue's family for his sister to study, but unfortunately that girl doesn't like to study, so she has to follow Zhou Mingming.
Of course, Zhou Ming wouldn't refuse, but she didn't expect her to fall in love with Lu Zhoucheng, so that her brother almost didn't have to do it.
As soon as I heard the story and hadn't digested it, Zhou Zhou Ming called and said that they had all arrived and were waiting for us.
I looked at the navigation, it was already nearby, and I said it would be ten minutes.
When the door of the bar was pushed open, I heard a 'bang', and an unknown object fell from the sky, almost scaring people.
Lu Zhoucheng's reaction was not slow, he dragged me into his arms and wrapped me tightly with his coat, which can be regarded as preserving my clothes.
βsurpriseοΌβ
It was Yu Sheng's voice, I curiously probed from Lu Zhoucheng's arms, and unexpectedly saw Yu Xiaoliu's two rows of little white teeth, "Why are you here?" β
"Didn't you say you found an investor? The fourth brother sent me to negotiate, this is not in time for the second brother's birthday, I came in advance, isn't it a surprise! β
Not at all!
I stared at the 'weapon' in his hand, "If you have something to say, put things down first!" β
"Oh!"
Yu Sheng fired two shots at the ceiling, threw it to the side after spraying things, and ran over with his arms open, "Brother, I'm here to celebrate your birthday!" β
Lu Zhoucheng was very disgusted with this hug, threw it to the side with the collar of his clothes, and walked over with a cake.
Zhou Ming took the cake over, and Feng Lei helped to put candles together, "Come on, come and stand here for the birthday star, do you still want to sing the birthday song?" β
Lu Zhoucheng was hugged by everyone in the middle, and reached out to pull me over, who was holding my shoulders for the rest of my life, "Let my wife come to this." β
"Don't!"
"Yes!"
"I'll sing the first two sentences, and everyone will sing the last two sentences together."
Then I withstood the pressure of a dozen eyes and began to sing a birthday song solo for the first time in my life, and my mouth was so close that I didn't go out of tune.
After singing the birthday song, it was time to make a wish, Lu Zhoucheng clasped his fingers against his forehead, and his expression looked quite religious.
I'm still guessing what he's going to make, and the man has already opened his eyes and blown out the candles.
Yu Sheng clapped his hands excitedly, "I can finally eat cake, I rushed here after getting off the plane, and I didn't even bother to eat dinner!" β
Seeing that his hungry eyes were green, I quickly cut a large piece for him, and the others also thought about it, so they got together and went to drink.
Yu Sheng ran over with a cake, "Sister-in-law, where are my eldest nephew and my eldest niece?" Why didn't you bring them? β
"At a friend's house, I was going to go to the movies after dinner, but I bought all the movie tickets." I took out the movie ticket in my bag that was about to be invalidated, it was a recent film, and the reputation was not bad.
Yu Sheng took it over and studied it, and then said excitedly: "Second brother doesn't have time, let's go and see it!" There is still half an hour to start, and it is too late to pass. β
Seeing my expression of being struck by thunder, I forgot to swallow the cake in my mouth for the rest of my life, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Can't even say anything happy? β
"Eat your cake!"
After taking two bites, Yu Sheng suddenly remembered something and took out his phone to show me, "I took a great photo just now." β
In the photo, Lu Zhoucheng was making a wish, I stood next to him and looked at him, this is the first time I have seen myself looking at him, so gentle.
"How's it going?"
Looking at Yu Xiaoliu's expression of 'come and praise me', he forgot any tenderness, and touched his head like a child, "Good shot, I'll send you a big red envelope in a while." β
For the rest of my life, I probably remembered the time when I was in school, and grinned at me, "Have you watched the movie yet?" If you don't go, it's too late. β
ββ¦β¦β
I looked at this stupid boy with some worry, why did he just grow taller, and his IQ didn't grow at all!
This is the first time I have celebrated Lu Zhoucheng's birthday, I don't know how they used to live, I just think these people are very noisy, and they can only play with their mobile phones when they are bored.
At eight o'clock, Chen Yimu called me and asked me when I would go back.
Those people were still drinking, and I was afraid of ruining their fun, so I said to Lu Zhoucheng: "The child is sleepy, I'll go back first, and you can take a taxi later." β
Lu Zhoucheng drank a lot of wine, his mind was still very clear, he took my hand and said, "Let's go together." β
The brothers didn't stop them, so I took them away.
Lu Zhoucheng looked calm, but I didn't feel embarrassed, and said apologetically: "I ruined everyone's fun today, I'll be the east another day, and you can pick the place." β
Yu Sheng was the first to express his opinion, "I'm going to eat 'Buzz Lightyear' flaming ice cream." β
Zhou Zhou Ming and Feng Lei glanced at each other, and the latter said, "This can be had." β
When I got home less than nine o'clock, Zhou Zhou Ming and his children were already waiting at the door, followed by a big-tailed dog who used to cheat on eating and drinking.
Feibao's already sleepy eyelids fought, and when I took it from Chen Yimu's arms, the little girl hugged my neck and coquettishly, "Mom! β
I kissed her pink little cheek, "Come home baby." β
After sending the child back, Chen Yimu refused to leave, and he didn't know how to avoid suspicion at night, and he rubbed a piece of cake shamelessly.
I went downstairs after bathing my child, and I overheard him ask, "Did she tell you about her relatives?" β
Lu Zhoucheng seemed to say something, and then heard Chen Yimu say excitedly: "How is this possible?" β
When I passed, he didn't say anything.
After sending off my neighbors who had come for supper, I turned around and walked back, looked at the people on the couch and asked, "Are you okay?" Would you like to drink some water? β
Lu Zhoucheng shook his head, and when he saw him stretching out his hand, I went to help him, but who knew that this person actually dodged and looked at me with half-closed eyes, "What about the gift?" β
I almost forgot about it, took his hand and said, "Upstairs, under your pillow." β
Lu Zhoucheng looked at me suspiciously, as if he was thinking about what the gift was, and then suddenly stood up and walked upstairs quickly.
I was borrowed by him, and by the time I was on my feet, the man was already far away.
Thinking about the man's reaction to seeing the gift, I was a little unsure, and hesitated to go upstairs, he should like it!
When I went in, I saw Lu Zhoucheng standing by the bed, holding a birthday gift I gave him, a painting, and a red book.
The painting is of a family of four, as well as three small pets that have entered indiscriminately, and a serious Lu puppy, which is just right to be placed at the head of the bed in a photo frame.
The red book is my household registration book.
