Chapter 622: A Birthday with Surprises
Although Xu Chuan almost forgot his birthday, there are many people who remember his birthday.
A few years ago, because he basically returned to his hometown before the New Year, and his birthdays were also spent in his hometown, Jinling couldn't find time to hold a birthday party for him.
After determining the itinerary this year, the school leaders of NTU and Xu Chuan's assistant Tang Ran and Lu Ling quietly discussed, preparing to hold a birthday party for him to celebrate when he was still in Jinling this year.
The address of the birthday celebration dinner was set in the villa at the foot of the Purple Mountain.
Anyway, the second floor of this place is basically vacant there in normal times, and Xu Chuan will not go up a few times throughout the year, so it is perfect for deploying the site.
In this way, the second floor, which was uninhabited, was dressed up as a birthday celebration without the knowledge of the owner of the house.
The four students who were driven back by him before the end of the year also quietly hid on the second floor, ready to surprise their tutors.
On the first floor, in the study, Xu Chuan was still picking and screening the journal papers and books to take home, not knowing that the floor above his head had been dressed up in a different way.
At this moment, the doorbell of the villa rang in the room.
Xu Chuan, who opened the door of the study, naturally heard this voice, couldn't help but put down the journal paper in his hand, and walked outside with a little curiosity.
At this point in time, there are still people here looking for him?
Who is it?
Walking out of the study, Xu Chuan opened the door of the villa, and a pretty figure stood at the door.
Looking at the figure standing in front of him wearing a white down jacket and a ponytail, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and stood in place.
The one who appeared in front of his house was none other than Senior Sister Liu Jiaxin.
"Happy Birthday!"
Liu Jiaxin was holding a cake gift box in her hand, with a gentle smile on her face, and a pair of apricot eyes full of blessings and smiles.
Hearing this familiar soft voice, Xu Chuan came back to his senses, looked at the cake in her hand, and said with a smile: "Xu Xiao's girl called me before, saying that she wanted to surprise me, and when I saw you carrying the cake, I almost thought that you were the surprise she prepared."
Liu Jiaxin: "â°(*°âœÂ°*)â¯? â
Looking at the senior sister who was stunned for a moment, Xu Chuan smiled, and then said: "Come in first, it just so happens that there is no one at home now, and I didn't plan to celebrate this birthday." â
To be honest, he really didn't expect it to be this senior sister who knocked on the door.
After all, this point Xinghai Network Technology Company has already had a holiday, and he personally arranged it two days ago, normally, she should be in her hometown in Sichuan and Chongqing.
But looking back, it's normal.
If Xu Xiao's girl ordered a cake for him or something, it would be impossible for the delivery person to deliver it to him, basically outside the villa, he would be stopped by Zheng Hai and his security team, and then take the cake to the laboratory for inspection or something, and only send it to him after confirming that there is no problem.
Only a small number of people whom he allowed and acquiesced in were eligible to enter the villa directly without Zheng Hai and the security report.
Carrying the cake, Liu Jiaxin nodded lightly and followed Xu Chuan into the living room of the villa.
Although this is not the first time she has been here, she has come here in the past to discuss things related to work and academic research, and it is the first time that she has come here with such a trivial daily life as today.
In addition, Xu Chuan just said that there were just the two of them at home, and an atmosphere that seemed like the two of them were dating suddenly rose in her heart.
Thinking of this, looking at the back walking in front, she pursed her lips, feeling that her cheeks were slightly hot.
After pouring two glasses of water in the refrigerator in person, Xu Chuan handed one of them to Liu Jiaxin with a smile, turned on the TV, and asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, what about your sister Jiaying?" Did she go back to Sichuan? â
Liu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Well, she has already had a winter vacation, and she went back before." â
Xu Chuan took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Your income should have been enough for you to buy a villa here in Jinling, why don't you settle down here?" â
Compared to him, this senior sister is definitely a hard-working person, her parents died in an accident when she was a child, leaving her with a younger sister who is still in elementary school and a grandmother who is over seventy years old.
From that day on, it can be said that the burden of the entire family has almost fallen on her. It's just that, at that time, she was just a young girl who could enter high school.
Although her parents left a little money to give her the opportunity to complete her studies, it is clear to imagine that it would not be a lot, otherwise she would not be ready to go out to work after college.
At the mention of this, Liu Jiaxin smiled and said with some longing: "Grandma is still in her hometown, and some uncles are also there, and she always has to go back for the New Year, didn't you stay here?" â
Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded in agreement, like Liu Jiaxin, although he is currently settled in Jinling and is also doing research here, he has never moved his hukou over.
The Jinling Municipal Government mentioned it to him many times, either explicitly or implicitly, but he refused.
As he had said before, the village he had been in his childhood would always remain in his memory, at least until his parents left.
The two chatted for a while, and when it was time for the meal, Aunt Liang, the housekeeper who was in charge of cooking and daily cleaning of the villa, came over with steps.
After completing the controlled nuclear fusion technology, he was stuffed with two assistants, a life assistant Tang Sijia, and an Aunt Liang.
The former is responsible for his daily life and medical health, such as going to Tsarist Russia before, and Tang Sijia followed him.
(Ahem, what I wrote before was Tang Ran, the assistant of Nanda University, mainly because I forgot about this assistant when I wrote it, laughing and crying. JPGã According to common sense, that kind of thing should be followed by this assistant.,I'll revise it later.,It's a patch.,I'm sorry.ã ïŒ
The latter's surname is Liang, called Liang Xian, and she is a middle-aged woman who is less than fifty years old. Xu Chuan called her Aunt Liang, she was mainly responsible for the sanitation of the villa, and sometimes if he was at home, she was responsible for cooking, washing and laundry.
"Aunt Liang, please prepare a meal for two tonight." Looking at Aunt Liang, who walked in with a basket of vegetables, Xu Chuan shouted.
At the entrance, Aunt Liang, who was wearing shoe covers, poked her head out curiously and asked, "Guests?" â
When I saw Liu Jiaxin sitting on the sofa, she had a kind smile on her face: "Oh, Jiaxin is here, what do you want to eat tonight, tell my aunt." â
Although the number of meetings is not much, Aunt Liang is quite impressed and likes this girl who comes over occasionally. Gentle personality, beautiful people, sometimes chat with Xu Chuan late and stay here to eat when he will take the initiative to go into the kitchen to help.
"Aunt Liang."
Seeing Liang Xian, Liu Jiaxin quickly stood up, and after saying hello, she stepped forward to take the vegetable basket from the other party.
Liang Xian smiled and patted her hands, like an ordinary middle-aged woman: "Jiaxin hasn't gone back for the New Year?" â
Liu Jiaxin whispered: "I'm going to go back tomorrow." â
Xu Chuan turned his head to look at the two of them, noticed the dishes piled up in the vegetable basket, and asked curiously, "Why did Aunt Liang buy so many dishes today?" â
Liang Xian smiled and quipped: "Our great scientist has a long tail, what's wrong with making a sumptuous birthday celebration?" â
Xu Chuan looked at the vegetable basket she was carrying with a smile and said, "This is too much, I will go back to my hometown tomorrow, this will be wasted if I can't finish eating, just make two." Birthdays happen every year. â
Liang Xian smiled and said, "It won't be wasted." â
Holding a party for Xu Chuan's birthday, although everyone hid it from Xu Chuan, she must have known that the dishes in the basket were naturally prepared for everyone in the evening.
But since she said that she wanted to surprise Xu Chuan, she naturally wouldn't say it in advance.
Liu Jiaxin followed Liang Xian into the kitchen to get busy, and in the living room, Xu Chuan returned to the study to continue to organize his things.
In order to celebrate his birthday, dinner was much later than before, Xu Chuan went into the kitchen to take a look, it was almost half past six, and Aunt Liang and Senior Sister were still busy.
Although I don't know how many dishes these two people cooked, looking at the incubator and the steaming steamer, there must be a lot of them.
But he didn't stop it, these dishes are made, and they will definitely not be wasted.
If you want to eat, he and his senior sister will definitely not be able to finish it, but he knows that his assistant and Zheng Hai, including Aunt Liang, must not have eaten dinner yet, and Xu Chuan is going to take advantage of the birthday to come over and celebrate together.
At this moment, the door of the villa was suddenly opened, and a footstep came quickly.
In the living room, Xu Chuan turned his head to look towards the entrance.
At this point, what can directly enter his house is probably the 'surprise' that Xu Xiao's girl ordered for him, and it is estimated that Zheng Hai or Tang Sijia sent it to him.
At the entrance, a small figure walked in quickly, and after looking at the living room, he saw Xu Chuan who was looking at this side.
"Dude, surprise! Happy birthday! â
Stepping into the living room, Xu Xiao stood in front of Xu Chuan with a smile, carrying a cake in his hand, and congratulated him with a smile.
Seeing his sister standing in front of him, Xu Chuan was stunned again, almost thinking that he was hallucinating.
"Xiaoxiao??"
With a slightly skeptical voice, Xu Xiao smiled proudly, proud of his actions: "Brother! How's that, surprise?! â
After confirming that he was not hallucinating, Xu Chuan asked in surprise, "No, aren't you still in your hometown in the morning?" â
Xu Xiao replied with a smile: "Yes, I bought a high-speed rail ticket from Baling to Jinling at noon, sat for a full five hours, and then called Brother Zheng to arrange someone to pick me up." â
After a pause, she then lamented: "My poor old brother, no one has given you a birthday, only my sister is here." â
Before she could finish speaking, her eyes fell on the cake box on the coffee table.
Slightly stunned, Xu Xiao asked curiously, "Brother, did you order the cake yourself?" â
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "I didn't order this, but someone brought it to me for my birthday." â
Xu Xiao sniffed his nose and asked with a hint of suspicion: "I don't believe it!" Who else but your cutest sister can come and celebrate your birthday? â
After the words fell, before Xu Chuan could answer, a figure with an apron came out of the dining room connected to the kitchen.
"Xiaoxiao?"
"Sister Jiaxin?"
The two girls looked at each other, and after recognizing each other, they happily held hands and gathered together.
The two of them have known each other for a long time, and they have not broken contact for several years, and the two are about to become best friends. Even when Xu Xiao was studying the control array of brain electrodes before, Liu Jiaxin also helped a little.
"Wait a minute, the food here will be ready soon."
After muttering about the old days, and appeasing Xu Xiao, who was complaining that he was hungry and was poking his brain into the kitchen to smell the aroma of food, Liu Jiaxin turned his head to look at Xu Chuan and said:
"Xu Chuan, Aunt Liang said that there seems to be a problem with the electric cooker and can't be used, there is a spare one in the storage room on the second floor, can you help you get it?"
"Okay."
Xu Chuan nodded, and didn't have any other thoughts, got up and walked towards the second floor, not knowing that another surprise was waiting for him.
Looking at Xu Chuan, who turned into the corner of the stairs, Liu Jiaxin took Xu Xiao's hand, put her index finger in front of her mouth, and whispered: "Don't make a sound, follow me, Xiaoxiao." â
Xu Chuan didn't notice the movements of the two, and he didn't know that there were two small tails behind him.
Following the stairs, he went up to the second floor of the villa.
The duplex staircase rotated upstairs, and the sound of footsteps echoed crisply in the villa, and in the main hall on the second floor, a group of people waiting inside waited in the darkness and listened to the footsteps and held their breath until the lights in the main hall came on.
"Professor! Happy birthday! â
"Happy Birthday!!
"Happy Birthday! Academician Xu! â
In the aisle of the entrance of the main hall, streamers like meteors in the sky slowly fell with a sound of blessings, some fell on the white tile floor, and some fell on Xu Chuan's hair.
The sudden movement startled Xu Chuan, and he almost fell on the ground without stepping on the air.
Holding on to the wallboard in the aisle to stabilize his body, he looked at it and found that he didn't know when so many people were hiding on the second floor of his house.
And the main hall on the second floor, which was originally simple, was also dressed up as another by these people.
"Tutor, Principal Tan, Tang Ran, Yin Shi. You guys"
Looking at the crowd that quickly gathered around, Xu Chuan looked at it blankly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Today's birthday, he is really surprised.
"Happy birthday, Professor!"
Rong Xinji, the youngest of several students, held a colorful birthday hat in his hand and quickly put it on Xu Chuan's head, sending a blessing by the way.
Looking at the crowd in front of him, Xu Chuan was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
Touching the birthday hat on his head, he looked at the carefully arranged scene in the main hall, only to feel that his nose was a little sore, and he couldn't help but twitch, and inhaled hard to relieve it.
Obviously, the group of people in front of him held a birthday party for him without him.
The ribbons that slowly fell to the ground fell on his heart like the sun in winter, warm and bright.
