Jiang Mingzhu's tone was very calm, but tears were dripping silently, as if he had revealed his worst scars to others.

Zhou Li's hand loosened a little, and she continued, "You can call him now."

Zhou Li's hand shifted to press her shoulder, "I don't like people who are full of lies."

Jiang Mingzhu: "You just don't believe that I like you, from the beginning, you felt that I had another purpose."

Zhou Li: "Have you met Zhan Yubai before?"

Jiang Mingzhu's sobbing voice suddenly stopped, and his fingers stiffened for a moment, but they quickly returned to normal.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhou Li blankly: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Li: "Has she offended you before?"

The dog's brain is still quite fast, and he has already thought of this layer.

Jiang Mingzhu nodded, Zhou Li's eyes became a little serious, and he was about to listen to what she said, but he heard her complain aggrievedly: "If it weren't for her, you would like me."

Zhou Li: "......"

For a while, he couldn't tell whether Jiang Mingzhu was serious or looking for excuses to perfunctory him.

Jiang Mingzhu: "She snatched you...... How could I not hate her?"

Zhou Li: "It's just because of this."

Jiang Mingzhu: "Otherwise?"

He didn't even question the fact that she "likes him" today, Jiang Mingzhu thought to herself, it was in vain that she had been acting conscientiously during this time.

The anger on Zhou Li's body subsided a lot, and Jiang Mingzhu took the opportunity to bow down and be small, wrapping his hands around his waist and leaning his head into his arms.

100% weak and coquettish posture.

She sniffed and asked him softly, "Can you buy me a birthday cake?"

Zhou Li stared at her, and his tone was still very cold: "No."

Jiang Mingzhu: "Please, good brother."

She gently scratched his chest with her hand.

Zhou Li felt as if his heart had been scratched by a soft feather, and his heart was itching, so he pressed her hand, which was directly attached to him.

Zhou Li: "Don't come to this set."

Jiang Mingzhu: "I want to eat strawberry cake."

——

An hour later, Jiang Mingzhu was excitedly lighting candles in the restaurant.

Zhou Li sat next to him and watched coldly.

Jiang Mingzhu lit the candles, and then made trouble unreasonably: "Brother hasn't wished me a happy birthday yet."

Zhou Li: "It's not your birthday."

Jiang Mingzhu: "But it's my birthday, just bless me~"

After she finished speaking, she was going to pull the corner of his clothes again, like a child who was spoiled and asked for candy.

Zhou Li ducked back, "Happy birthday, okay?"

Jiang Mingzhu's eyes lit up, and she smiled very happily all of a sudden, "This is my happiest birthday."

Zhou Li couldn't tell if she was acting for a while, her tone was so sincere, her expression was like a child who had eaten candy, she looked very fresh, but because of his blessing, she said that it was the happiest birthday, which was too exaggerated.

He has always been strategic, and it is the first time that he can't see through a woman like this.

Jiang Mingzhu sang a happy birthday song to herself.

She sang with a good pitch, a soft voice, and very delicate, Zhou Li couldn't help but stare at her.

Jiang Mingzhu clasped his hands together after singing, closed his eyes and made a wish, looking at her serious appearance, Zhou Li couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Mingzhu blew out the candle and asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Li: "How old are you, you still believe in this."

Jiang Mingzhu: "Does my brother know what I wished?"

Zhou Li: "I'm not interested."

Jiang Mingzhu held his face and looked at him reverently, a pair of beautiful eyes shining: "My wish is that I hope my brother can like me, and it's okay to have a little bit."

Zhou Li: "If you say your wish, it won't work."

Jiang Mingzhu"

Poof" laughed, "How old are you, and you still believe this."

Zhou Li: "......" Only then did he realize that he was being reversed by Jiang Mingzhu.

The purpose succeeded, Jiang Mingzhu showed a sly smile.

After laughing, Jiang Mingzhu received a call from Fang Qinyang, "Why haven't you come back yet, and said that you would celebrate your birthday together?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "I have to be late."

Fang Qinyang: "Huh?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "I'm busy chasing the man I like."

Fang Qinyang and Jiang Mingzhu had a tacit understanding, and when they heard it, they knew that she was with Zhou Li, so they didn't talk much, "Then you come back early, the cake is waiting for you."

Jiang Mingzhu: "Got it."

After talking on the phone, without waiting for Zhou Li to ask, Jiang Mingzhu explained to him, "It's my best friend's phone, wait for me to go back from work for my birthday."

Zhou Li: "Don't leave yet?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Who made me a person who values sex and ignores friends?"

Jiang Mingzhu cut the cake for Zhou Li, and gave herself a piece and began to eat it, praising while eating, "The cake my brother bought is delicious~"

She ate very deliciously, as if she was eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Zhou Li twisted his eyebrows to see, in fact, it was an ordinary fruit cake, just now she pestered him to buy it, he casually ordered one on the takeaway software, and it was more than 600 yuan.

"Why don't you move? Eat it, it's delicious." Jiang Mingzhu stopped to urge Zhou Li, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with cream.

Zhou Li: "I'm not interested."

Jiang Mingzhu went directly to feed him, and brought his used fork to his mouth, "It's very sweet, taste it."

"I said no......"

Before Zhou Li finished speaking, Jiang Mingzhu used the method of feeding him Dafu last time and fed the cake to his mouth.

The palate is quickly invaded by sweetness, accompanied by aromas of strawberries.

Jiang Mingzhu: "Is it delicious?"

Zhou Li swallowed before speaking, "Sweet."

Jiang Mingzhu: "It's sweet and greasy."

Zhou Li: "Diabetes is waiting for you."

Jiang Mingzhu's tone suddenly became sad, "When I was a child...... I've never eaten cake."

Zhou Li didn't doubt the truth of what she said, there are many children in the welfare home, resources are tight, and no matter how good the conditions are, the welfare home cannot take care of every child.

Jiang Mingzhu fell into memories, "I was so envious when I saw someone eating a birthday cake on TV, my biggest wish when I was a child was to grow up quickly and open a cake shop."

Zhou Li: "Have you ever looked for your biological parents?"

Jiang Mingzhu was a little angry: "They don't want me anymore, so I won't look for them."

Zhou Li: "......"

Jiang Mingzhu: "Besides, my adoptive parents are very good to me, and having them is enough."

Zhou Li didn't answer, his expression was a little complicated, as if he was moved by compassion.

A proper show of weakness is the best weapon, and the man already has a complex to save the stumbling girl, and she exposes her wounds to him, at least to arouse his sympathy.

After Jiang Mingzhu finished speaking, he covered his eyes with both hands.

After a few minutes, Zhou Li spoke, "Crying? Isn't it very capable?"

Jiang Mingzhu: "I didn't cry."

Zhou Li: "The mouth is very hard."

For the first time, Jiang Mingzhu did not refute Zhou Li with sharp teeth, always keeping his head down, and his shoulders were still trembling slightly.

Zhou Li: "Don't eat the cake?"

Jiang Mingzhu suddenly got up, stepped on his legs, straddled Zhou Li, and wrapped his two arms tightly around his neck.

Zhou Li habitually wanted to push her away, but heard her whispering, "Can you hug me?"
