Chapter 3: Birthday Party
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, today is the weekend, and it happens to be Lin Rui's birthday. After formulating that bloody plan two days ago, Lin Rui thought of a way to invite Gwen to his birthday party that day, and Lin Rui's method was also very old-fashioned.
Go back to two days ago.
"Be careful!"
Sneer~
Bang!
On Gwen's bike ride home from school, Lin Rui suddenly got out of the corner and hit Gwen's car at once, and then he fell to the ground on the spot.
"Ah, are you okay?!" Gwen, who hit someone, got out of the car nervously and ran to Lin Rui's side and asked with concern.
"Uh! it's okay~ hiss......" Lin Rui, who was half-lying on the ground, shook his head and said that he was fine, but just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly snorted coldly, obviously where he was injured. However, I don't know how much of this is real or acted.
"Ahh Gwen, who had never encountered such a thing, exclaimed, and was even more embarrassed in her heart.
"It's okay, it should be a little broken. Standing up with Gwen's help, Lin Rui smiled and said.
"I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm Gwen from Imperial High School, and I'll be reimbursed if you go to the doctor and have medical expenses. Seeing Lin Rui smiling at herself, Gwen introduced herself embarrassedly.
"Really, then we'll still be classmates. Hello, I'm also from Imperial High School, my name is Jackson. However, the medical expenses are not needed, and it is only a small injury. Seeing Gwen's embarrassed appearance, Lin Rui said indifferently.
"How can that be ......?"
"If you feel embarrassed, can you grant me a request?" Things were going according to their own lines, and Lin Rui threw out his purpose this time in a timely manner.
"Well, what request?" asked Gwen curiously.
"The day after tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday, but I haven't invited a girl yet, I'm worried that my friends will laugh at me by then, you can ......" Lin Rui stopped at this point, he knew that Gwen must have understood what he meant.
"Are you going to invite me to your birthday party?" Sure enough, Gwen continued after Lin Rui's words.
"Yes, is it okay?" Lin Rui felt that his life's acting skills were here, and his eyes looked at Gwen with expectation.
"This ...... Well, I'll go, but you'll have to tell me the time and place first. Being stared at by Lin Rui's deep eyes, Gwen finally agreed.
"Then it's decided! This is my phone number, I'll be in touch when the time comes!" Handing Gwen a small note with a phone number written on it, Lin Rui smiled and limped away.
Looking at the back of Lin Rui leaving, Gwen, who was holding the note in his hand, was a little distracted, the development of this situation was a little strange, "He didn't suddenly rush out and be injured by me just to invite me to his birthday party, right?" The smart Gwen had already guessed Lin Rui's purpose after a little thought, and he didn't know what it was like for Lin Rui to know that his hard acting skills had been seen through.
"But even so what? My dad always took care of me, and going to my classmates' birthday party was the first step in escaping my dad's control. Moreover, this black-eyed and black-haired little handsome guy is not bad. Looking at the phone number on the small piece of paper, Gwen smiled and whispered. Gwen then picked up her bike and continued home.
didn't know that his clumsy acting skills had already been seen through, and Lin Rui was waiting for the arrival of the guests at his door at this time. Lin Rui's mother, Mary, works for a company in Queens, New York, and his father, Lin Hai, inherits his ancestor's business: a relatively large Chinese restaurant. The location of the restaurant is also in Queens, so Lin Rui's home is naturally located in the most beautiful Queens district in New York.
The time was just after five o'clock, and there was still half an hour before the time agreed by Lin Rui and his friends, but he looked at the door in a little anxious. Today's birthday party is not simply to celebrate Lin Rui's sixteenth birthday, but also an important part of the plan he planned. For him to completely break into the circle of Peter and Harry, as well as Gwen's foreshadowing, it is a very important part.
"Hey, Jackson!" Just as Lin Rui was wandering at the door, Tom turned over directly from his yard, still holding a wrapped gift box in his hand.
"Happy birthday!" A few steps in front of Lin Rui, Tom handed the gift box to him and wished him loudly. Behind Tom, his parents were walking in this direction, but they were on the avenue in front of the yard.
"Thank you, Tom!" Lin Rui sincerely thanked Tom for taking the gift. I have indeed neglected Tom a little because of the task in the past few days, but fortunately Tom doesn't mind much, and Lin Rui doesn't want his good friend who has played since he was a child to be dissatisfied with him.
"Jackson, congratulations on your sixteenth birthday!" Behind Tom, his parents also smiled and wished Lin Rui sixteen years old.
"Thank you, Uncle Smith, Aunt Lucy, welcome to my birthday party!" A few steps out of the door, Lin Rui warmly welcomed Tom's parents in. When he was a child, Tom's parents took good care of him, and he also completed many small tasks at Tom's house, including the task of popping the tires of Uncle Smith's car.
"Well, we'll go in first. I heard that you still have a few classmates coming today? You guys are having fun! We adults won't get involved. Tom's father Smith smiled and said a few words, and then hugged his wife into the room.
"Hey, Jackson, which girl did you invite? Why didn't I know you had a new girl at school? Who the hell did you say wasn't from our class?"
"What's the hurry? You'll see it later, anyway. Also, let me remind you, don't hit this girl's attention!" Lin Rui, who knew what Tom was virtuous, reminded in advance, although Gwen didn't really like this dumb big guy.
"Got it! I won't touch it if you like it!" Tom thought that the mysterious girl was Lin Rui's favorite, so he hurriedly showed his attitude.
"Actually...... Forget it, it's good that you know anyway. Seeing that Tom would be wrong, Lin Rui originally planned to explain, but after thinking about it, his plan was not to involve Tom.
Whew!
Just when Lin Rui and Tom were chatting at the door, there was a sound of a car engine outside the courtyard of Lin Rui's house, and Lin Rui and Tom both looked up.
Chirping~
With the almost faint sound of brakes, an extended version of a luxury Rolls-Royce slowly stopped outside the courtyard of Lin Rui's house. Needless to say, it was the son of the Osborne Group who came. Although Harry had never liked the things his father had arranged for him, he couldn't refuse.
Card~
Touch!
By the time Lin Rui and Tom walked to the front yard, Harry and Peter had already stepped out of the car. Although Peter's family is also in Queens, it is also some distance from Lin Rui's house, so Harry went to pick him up and came with him.
"Hey, Peter, Harry, welcome to my house!" Lin Rui welcomed him with his hands outstretched as he walked out.
"Happy Birthday, Jackson!"
"Happy birthday!" Peter and Harry both hugged Lin Rui briefly, and wished him a happy birthday by the way.
"Here, this is our gift! There is only one, you won't mind, right?" After parting from each other, Peter handed Lin Rui a wrapped gift box.
"Thank you! No, I'm glad you guys came!" Lin Rui said with a smile after taking the gift.
Whew~
Just as Lin Rui was about to welcome Peter and Harry into the room, another car drove over from outside the courtyard and finally stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Seeing the car parked outside, Lin Rui's eyes lit up, and the most important part of his plan finally came.
"Well, did Jackson invite anyone else?" Seeing Lin Rui walking past the car at the gate of the courtyard, Peter asked curiously. He thought that they were the only ones who received the invitation, and looking at Lin Rui's movements, it seemed that this person who came was more important than them.
"Hey, hey, you'll find out right away. Seeing Peter and Harry looking at him, Tom said mysteriously.
"It's so mysterious!"
Card~
Lin Rui walked towards the sedan with a smile on his face, and just as he was about to help Gwen open the door very gentlemanly, the driver's door of the car suddenly opened. And the figure who walked out of the car door next directly stopped Lin Rui, because it was an uncle in a police uniform.
"Jackson-Lin, is that your birthday party?" the police uncle who got out of the car glanced Lin Rui up and down, and then asked lightly.
"Uh~ Yes, officer!" was shocked by the momentum on the police uncle's body, Lin Rui reacted for a while before replying. At this time, Lin Rui remembered that Gwen had a daughter-controlled sheriff's father, and if his daughter was going to participate in a classmate's birthday party, of course he would send Gwen over, and by the way, see which stinky boy dared to invite her daughter out.
Card~
Just when the atmosphere outside was a little awkward, the back door of the car opened in time, and Gwen, dressed in a light blue dress, walked out. I saw her walking directly to Lin Rui's side, just in front of her father.
"Dad, you just sent me here, what are you doing here?" Gwen asked in a complaining tone, glaring at her father a little unhappily. Although my father agreed to come to my classmates' birthday party, he had to send himself over in person to rest assured, and Gwen couldn't help it.
"Nothing? Just say hello to your classmate. Seeing that his daughter was unhappy, Sheriff George finally stopped keeping a straight face, and smiled at Lin Rui and said.
"Hehe, yes. The sheriff just said hi to me, and it's fine. Seeing Gwen's father smiling at him, Lin Rui echoed with interest.
"Okay, Dad, you also sent me, now you can go. ”
"Okay, I'll pick you up when you're done. Remember, it's not too late!" Sheriff George's last sentence was obviously said to Lin Rui.
With the last word of the order, Gwen's sheriff's dad finally drove away. And Gwen turned to look at Lin Rui, her face was a little embarrassed, as if she was apologizing for her father's attitude.
"It's okay, let's go in first, and I have a few friends to introduce you. Of course, Lin Rui wouldn't mind a daughter's attitude towards Uncle Control, and said with a smile at Gwen.
"Well, let's go. Gwen agreed, and then took Lin Rui's arm and walked towards the courtyard very casually. At the moment, Lin Rui's body seemed to stiffen, but he recovered in an instant.
"Is that Sheriff George and his daughter?, I didn't expect Jackson to get such a girl!" said Harry, who was standing in the courtyard, with some surprise when he saw the two men getting out of the car. Osborne is one of the top groups in the world, and he obviously knows Harry, the sheriff of New York.
"Ahh Looking at Peter's appearance, Lin Rui's plan is at least developing on the right track.
