After lunch at noon, Ling Mo sent Ning Yuanlan back to the villa, but he didn't get out of the car, "I have some things to deal with, I'll come and pick you up in the evening." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road!" She stood at the door of the villa to say goodbye to him, and watched his car drive out before she turned back to the villa.

When he went up to the Ding Building, Zhou Jiayao was still painting in the next room, his progress was very slow, it took a long time to paint a corner, the three-dimensional effect was not very obvious, Ning Yuanlan walked over and pointed to a few places that needed to deal with shadows, "In this place, the paint should be a little darker, so that there will be a shadow effect, otherwise it will not be three-dimensional." ”

"Okay, I'll make it up!" Zhou Jiayao nodded.

Ning Yuanlan smiled, turned around to go to the guest room he was responsible for, stretched out his hand and Zhou Jiayao stopped her, "Yuanlan." ”

"Huh?" She turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Happy birthday." He said as he took a box out of his pocket, "I'll give it to you." ”

"Thank you!" Since it was a birthday gift, Ning Yuanlan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Seeing that she accepted her gift, Zhou Jiayao was very happy, then walked to the table on the side, picked up a box, and opened it, "The cake I bought when I came this morning, I want to celebrate your birthday, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Ning Yuanlan's expression changed, although she told Zhou Jiayao very clearly, but he didn't seem to see it.

"Don't be cranky." Zhou Jiayao opened the cake box, "My paintings are not very good, so many years have passed, and there are no good works, so it is not easy to find a job, now you are willing to teach me to paint murals, and also contribute your own guest room to me to do experiments, I should celebrate my birthday, otherwise I will feel bad!" ”

"Okay." Ning Yuanlan nodded, as long as she corrected her mentality, it was impossible for her to love Zhou Jiayao, so why worry about this.

Zhou Jiayao was overjoyed, lit two candles representing the numbers "2" and "3", and began to sing birthday songs for her: "I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you happiness and health, and have a warm family ......"

"Thank you!" Ning Yuanlan laughed, always feeling that it felt strange to celebrate his birthday like this.

"Blow out the candles!" Zhou Jiayao said.

She nodded, leaned over to blow out the candle, Zhou Jiayao took the candle away, and cut a cake for her, "Yours!" ”

"Thank you." She thanked her, took the cake and took a bite, "It's delicious!" ”

"You can't eat too much of it, I just know you've had lunch!" Zhou Jiayao cut a piece of himself and pulled a chair to sit down.

"Yes." Ning Yuanlan sat across from him.

"Yuanlan, am I the first to celebrate your birthday today!" Zhou Jiayao suddenly asked, presumably everyone in her family will start to celebrate her birthday in the evening.

"It's not." She shook her head and said truthfully, "Ling Mo got up early this morning and personally rolled noodles for me to make shou noodles to eat!" ”

"Oh, that must be delicious!" A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhou Jiayao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared again.

"Well, it's really delicious, everything he makes is very delicious!" Ning Yuanlan didn't notice the flicker of loss in Zhou Jiayao's eyes, and continued to reminisce about the sweetness of today's breakfast.

In the evening, Ling Mo personally came to pick up Ning Yuanlan, and there were two people sitting behind Cayenne, Ling Shuhan and Gao Xueqing.

"Mom and Dad, why are you here too!" Ning Yuanlan was very surprised, and after sitting in the passenger seat, he turned his head and asked the two old men.
