Chapter 210: Ingenuity
For a long time to come, Ding Ying was cold to me.
As long as it is in a public place, such as in a classroom, such as in a cafeteria, such as in the Youth Book House, Ding Ying is still the original Ding Ying, and no one can see any changes in her.
As long as there are only the two of us left in the classroom, when Chu Huoyu leaves the Youth Book House for a short time, (as for renting housing, not to mention) Ding Ying is like a different person. The air seemed to freeze because of the relationship between the two of us.
I bear it silently. No matter how painful my heart is, I will bear it silently. No, no, no, you can't make any changes. just secretly prayed that Ding Ying would get out of this haze as soon as possible, and prayed that God would let joy and happiness re-wrap Ding Ying as soon as possible.
I don't know why, Ding Ying is still so close to Chu Huoyu, Sister Huoyu is still so affectionate, and there has never been a little estrangement. This prompted me to understand that Ding Ying had never resented Chu Huoyu, and she felt that all of this was my premeditation, so it was all my fault.
Ding Ying is such a person who loves and hates clearly. This is inseparable from her kind and straightforward personality.
And Zhu Defa did make a big change. One of the changes is that he would show up at the door of our classroom almost every morning and afternoon after school, waiting to go to the cafeteria or other places with Ding Ying. Just like when they first arrived at the Academy, there were many occasions when they were in and out.
It seems that Ding Ying seems to enjoy this. Often when Zhu De came to the classroom, they were not in a hurry to leave, and always wanted to show a little affection in their position.
Zhu Defa's most successful thing was to hold an ingenious birthday celebration banquet for Ding Ying.
On December 15th, which happened to be a Saturday, Ding Ying and Chu Huoyu were in the bookstore, and Cao Shuigen and I went to the bookstore to find treasures. After nearly three hours in the book market, we returned to the college and carried the large bags of books to the door of the bookstore, I saw Zhu Defa chatting happily with Ding Ying in the bookstore.
"Oh, Zheng Qihang, I've finally waited until you come back." Zhu Defa came out to help move the books together.
"What's the matter?"
"Chairman Zhu has to invite all of us to dinner." Chu Huoyu said.
"Please eat, okay. Jin San and I were tired all afternoon and wanted to make up for it. However, I please, the bookstore has been open for so long, and I haven't invited everyone to dinner. I said.
"Hey, don't fight with me about this, my hotel is booked." Zhu Defa said.
"Do you have my share?" Cao Shuigen asked.
"Yes, everyone here goes. and Xu Zhengping, Jin Er of the Jin family, all go. Zhu Defa's dress today is also particularly dazzling, with a suit and leather shoes, and a red tie, spirited and handsome.
"I'm just asking you to bring me one." Chu Huoyu said.
"No, I can't. No one in this room is missing. ”
"What about the store?"
"Sister Huoyu, I'll guard it. You bring me food. Ding Ying held Chu Huoyu's arm.
"That's okay. I've said that no one is missing. Let Zheng Qihang make a message, and the store will be closed for two hours. Zhu Defa said.
"Why do you want me to speak? The shop is everyone's. If you want to eat, of course, the store is closed. I said.
"It's the weekend, and a lot of people are waiting to buy books." Chu Huoyu reminded me.
"Chairman Zhu has the kindness to invite us to dinner, and we don't have to do business."
"Yes, I love to hear that. Enough bro. ”
I thought that it would be held in the small restaurant at the entrance of the school like a normal dinner, and I didn't want the hotel that Zhu Defa had decided to be a star-rated hotel on the street where Ding Ying and I negotiated with Brother Wang of Pegatron Leisure House.
The revolving doors, carpets, and the waiters who greet us at the door give us a sense of nobility.
"Wow, Chairman Zhu, what kind of wind is it today, take us to such a high-end restaurant for dinner, I don't dare to go in." I say.
"yes, isn't there a happy event, let's bring a gift or something." Cao Shuigen said.
"I see you, all the fuss," Ding Ying said, "Defa invited everyone to eat, and they ate with peace of mind." Don't be burdened. ”
"Yes." Zhu Defa said.
"You can say that, but we can't." Chu Huoyu said.
"Yes," Cao Shuigen said, "Chairman Zhu should invite you to a five-star hotel for dinner." ”
"Sister Huoyu." Ding Ying said.
The hotel is on the third floor, and we are stepping on the thick red carpet, and we are talking about it. A waiter in the hallway welcomed us to the door of a private room.
Zhu Defa's two brothers stood at the door of the box. For some reason, the door to the box was closed.
"Big brother, everything is ready." Long hair said.
"Good. Thank you very much. ”
The two brothers stepped aside.
I deliberately stepped back.
"Zheng Qihang, what are you doing?" Zhu Defa said.
"I see this as a prelude to murder. I had to escape. "I'm kidding.
Everyone laughs.
Cao Shuigen, who was walking in front, was about to push open the box door, but Zhu Defa squeezed over and stopped in front of Cao Shuigen, "Brother, you stay." We asked Miss Ding to come forward. ”
"Me? Why should I step forward? What kind of gimmick are you doing, Zhu Defa? Although Ding Ying was suspicious, she still walked to the front of everyone.
"Please push the box open." Zhu Defa is an extremely gentleman.
"Don't be disgusting." Ding Ying said.
"There won't be a hidden weapon, will it?" I'm kidding.
"There's something more powerful than a hidden weapon." Said the short hair.
"What could it be?" Long hair follows the vibe.
Ding Ying pushed open the box door.
There was a large birthday cake on the round table in the box, and the words "Happy Birthday to You" written in cream were clearly visible.
The candle on the cake has been lit.
Our eyes widened.
"Zhu Defa, where are you singing?" Cao Shuigen asked.
"Ding Ying, I wish you a happy birthday." Zhu Defa looked at Ding Ying affectionately.
"What?" Ding Ying was stunned, and immediately smiled, "Today is my birthday?" Oh my mom, I forgot it myself, but you still remember. Thank you, thank you. ”
There was a burst of applause. Birthday greeting songs followed.
"Come, make a wish. Blow out the candles. Turn off the lights, turn off the lights! Zhu Defa naturally put his hand on Ding Ying's back and pushed her into the box.
Long hair turned off the lights. The box was darkened, and the candle flame was dancing.
Ding Ying hesitated slightly, but still stepped forward, silently made a wish, and then blew out the candle.
Turn the lights back on.
There was another round of applause.
Everyone congratulated Ding Ying one after another. Zhu Defa enthusiastically cut the cake for everyone. He dedicated the first cake to Ding Ying.
"Zhu Defa, you are too romantic." When Zhu Defa gave the cut cake to Chu Huoyu, Chu Huoyu said.
"Why are you doing a surprise attack? We could have brought a gift. "I pretended to be calm.
I remember once in a rented house, Ding Ying once told me about her birthday, and I vowed to give a gift at that time.
"My eldest brother carried out a surprise attack just to show that he was special, and only those who have a heart can remember this day." Long hair said.
"That's it." Short hair echoes.
"I just want to surprise Ding Ying." Zhu Defa was quite proud, "Everyone, please take a seat." Short hair, you go and call the waiter in. ”
Everyone take a seat. The waiter came in and cleaned the table.
Chu Huoyu and Ding Ying sat down together, and Zhu Defa sat down on the other side of Ding Ying.
The waiter brought in a bottle of wine. The cork has been pulled out. The waiter refills the goblets in front of everyone.
Of course, Chu Huoyu did not forget to refuse.
Then one dish after another was served. The dishes were plentiful. There are several dishes that Ding Ying likes to eat.
I glanced at Zhu Defa, and he smiled at me knowingly.
"Come," I stood up and raised my glass, "I suggest everyone raise their glasses and bless Ding Ying together." ”
"Wait," Long Hair said, standing up, "I suggest that my eldest brother toast Ding Ying's wine alone." Look at the eldest brother Yushu in the wind, Ding Ying is graceful, what a match. ”
"Long hair, worried I'll cut off a piece of your tongue." Ding Ying said with a smile.
The long hair stuck out his tongue and made a strange motion.
"Long hair, if you don't drink the wine, you will be drunk," Zhu Defa scolded Long Hair, but everyone could see that he was very useful, "However, it is okay to suggest that I toast Ding Ying's wine first." Happy birthday Ding Ying. ”
Zhu Defa took a big sip.
"Thank you," Ding Ying stood up and took a sip.
I froze there.
Fortunately, Cao Shuigen played a round, "It's not wrong for everyone to respect first." Zhu Defa, you invited us here because you want us to bless us, right? Come on, raise a glass together, Jin Daduan's hands are sore. ”
Everyone raised their glasses together.
Next, everyone toasted Ding Ying's wine individually, saying a variety of different blessings. There are also those who toast each other.
The fire jade is replaced by tea.
I stayed up until the last one to drink with Ding Ying, I didn't say any words of blessing, just drank the wine in a sip. Ding Ying took a sip.
Although, although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, I still feel very bad in my heart.
A bottle of wine was quickly consumed. Zhu De gave an order, and the waiter brought a second bottle of wine. The waiter poured everyone a drink.
Storing fire jade or replacing wine with tea.
Ding Ying did a little shirk, but everyone shouted, "It's your birthday, how can you shirk", she gave up, and the cup was full.
Several of us had full wine glasses.
"Today, this is a good place for good wine, good food, Jin Er didn't come, he will regret dying." Cao Shuigen sighed.
"You bring him some." Ding Ying said.
"I thought so. It's the first time I've enjoyed it in my life. ”
"You can't blame me, he went to make money, what can he do." Zhu Defa said.
"Xu Zhengping's independent spirit is indeed commendable." Chu Huoyu said.
"He can't think of that," said Long Hair, "what are you doing with all the hard work?" ”
"Well, I said brother, you're wrong. According to your opinion, wouldn't we be able to open a bookstore? I said.
"Then how can he compare with you? When you open a bookstore, you are an investment. How so? The school advocates that college students start their own businesses. The long hair habitually flicked his head to the left, and his nearly half-foot-long hair followed suit.
"Our Jin Er is also called self-employed." Cao Shuigen said.
"Then how can you talk about starting your own business?" Short hair and a loud voice.
"I'll tell you something," I took a sip of tea, "and the school is planning to prepare a college home service liaison platform, which is to match college students who are willing to be tutors." Then do you think Xu Zhengping is considered to be self-employed? ”
"Really? How come I haven't heard? Zhu Defa said.
"Won't it?" Short hair and long hair said almost at the same time.
