Chapter 144: Happy Birthday
No one thought that Zhou Qi went out last night, not to have fun, but to find Mr. Cai. Deputy Director Liu remembered what he said last night, and his face was hot. I wanted to find Zhou Qi to apologize to him, but he never showed up. I didn't go with them on the way back, I only called to say that something was wrong and asked them to go back first.
Zhou Qi didn't know what he was doing, he didn't show up in the company for a few days, and he didn't know if he hadn't come back yet.
This night overtime, Jian Yi returned home at more than eight o'clock. When I got out of the elevator, I saw Zhou Qi standing at the door at a glance. He was dressed in a formal suit, with a white shirt and black trousers, and a blazer in his hand. It probably didn't take long for Jian Yi to raise his chin and say, "Hurry up and open the door." β
It's like this is his home.
Jian Yi ignored her, stopped, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"I'm hungry." He looked innocent.
"There is a restaurant on the left turn at the door, no thanks." Jian Spaghetti said expressionlessly, still standing still, and did not mean to open the door.
"It's my birthday." Zhou Qi's voice was slow.
Jian Yi couldn't help but be stunned, she wanted to say that it had something to do with her, but in the end she swallowed the words back, took out the key and opened the door without saying a word.
Zhou Qi went straight to wash up when she entered the door, and after she changed her clothes, she opened the refrigerator, and the ingredients in it were limited, not enough to make a rich dinner. At this time, it was too late to buy ingredients, so she cooked with the ingredients in the refrigerator, and at the end of the day, after a little hesitation, she still made a bowl of longevity noodles. Like her grandmother made for her, there was a poached egg nested on it.
Although Zhou Qi had taken a shower early, he didn't come to the kitchen and talked on the phone on the balcony. When Jian Yi called for dinner, he hung up the phone and walked over from the balcony.
It's a very simple four dishes and one soup, the only difference today is that night's longevity noodles, the color is light and light, and there are golden poached eggs and green green onions lying on it.
Zhou Qi was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything and sat down.
The noodles were not cooked much, and he ate them in three or two bites, and the taste was naturally not as good as the carefully cooked soup stock outside, which was very bland.
Jian Yi glanced at him and said, "I haven't been to the supermarket for the past few days, and that's all there is in the refrigerator." β
Zhou Qi sighed and said, "It's pretty good." β
The two ate silently, Zhou Qi didn't say anything, and Jian Yi didn't ask him where he had been these days.
The meal was quickly finished, and Jane went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Zhou Qi rarely went to the kitchen door and asked her if there was anything she needed help with.
He is usually an uncle who doesn't help when the soy sauce bottle is poured, so it's a bit pretentious. Song Jianyi glanced at him, said no, and then continued to work.
Zhou Qi didn't stay at the door for long, and soon went to the balcony to smoke. He seems to be a little preoccupied today, and I don't know if it's because of his birthday that he thinks of other bad memories.
Song Jianyi cleaned up the kitchen, and the cake she ordered when she came back also arrived, the doorbell rang, and she stepped forward quickly to open the door.
When Zhou Qi looked at her from the balcony when he carried the cake into the house, she was very uncomfortable with him, and said, "Come and eat the cake." β
This is actually a bit naΓ―ve, but it's a birthday, so you have to have a cake.
Zhou Qi's face didn't react, the corners of his lips hooked, and he quickly entered the living room.
She quickly put candles on the cake, turned off the lights and lit them, and then sang a birthday song quite awkwardly, and said to Zhou Qi: "Make a wish and blow out the candles." β
Zhou Qi was like an outsider throughout the whole process, and when he heard this, he directly blew out the candle. The living room fell into darkness all of a sudden, and Jian Yi turned on the light by the light of her mobile phone, and saw Zhou Qi looking at her.
Before she could ask him what was wrong, Zhou Qi slowly began to cut the cake, said thank you, and then turned to her, and said slowly: "Longevity noodles have been eaten, and the cake is ready, I want to ask, daughter-in-law, how old is my birthday?" β
Song Jianyi couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, how did she know how old Zhou Qi was. She slowly blushed under Zhou Qi's gaze, but she still knew how to ask Zhou Qi: "Then do you know how old I am?" β
It means that neither of the two knows whose own, and it is even.
But Zhou Qi didn't let her get her wish, and said with a smile: "Why don't I know, I also remember your ID number." β
He said and recited a string of numbers, which was Song Jianyi's ID number. At this time, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and immediately asked, "How do you know my ID number?" β
She looked guarded.
Zhou Qi laughed and said slowly: "You are my daughter-in-law, I have to use some heart, don't I?" So, daughter-in-law, before giving people their birthdays in the future, you have to inquire about the most basic things first. β
Yes, she kindly celebrated his birthday, and now it has become hers. He temporarily dropped a sentence that today was his birthday, where did she go to inquire?
Jian Yi pursed her lips and didn't speak, Zhou Qi quickly cut off a piece of cake and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law has worked hard today, and I have to prepare a birthday cake for me after a day of work, come, eat a piece first." β
His eyes grinned, and his fingers smeared the cream on her face.
The cream was cold on his face, and Jian Yi took a step back and widened his eyes. She moved quickly at this moment, took the cake and wiped it on Zhou Qi's face.
Zhou Qi can dodge, but he doesn't dodge or dodge, and lets people smear the cream on his face. Just as Jane was about to step away, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Time seemed to fall silent, and he leaned over slightly and kissed the soft lips.
This night's Zhou Qi was rare and extremely gentle, and the salty sweat rolled down the sheets, soaking and dyeing little by little.
When he got up to wash, Jian Yi was still curled up and lying on the bed, and after the passion, he inexplicably felt that his chest was empty, a little depressed, and a little uncomfortable.
Zhou Qi was going on a business trip the next morning, so I got up early. Jian Yi opened his sleepy eyes to look at him, he pinched her face, and said, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." The weather forecast is rainy these days, drive me to work, the key is at the door. β
Song Jian was noncommittal, she hadn't woken up yet, she was dumb and cute, Zhou Qi couldn't help pinching her face again, and then turned off the light and went out.
When she got off work, Jian Yi received a call from Chen Qiaohe, who had not been in touch for a long time, and she had just fed it, and Chen Qiaohe on the other end of the phone said: "What have you been doing recently, I heard that you resigned?" β
Jian Yi sighed and said, "Yes, it's been a while." β
Chen Qiaohe didn't speak, Jian Yi was a little puzzled, and was about to ask her what was wrong, so she smiled and said, "Don't tell me either, it won't be Luo Yu who comes back, so you don't plan to deal with me, right?" β
