half thorns, half joy

A few days later, it was Xiao Yuebai's birthday.

Since Tang Xuan returned to Xiao Zhai, the atmosphere in the family has been very low. Although Zhao Suizhi and Tang Xuan did not have any conflicts, and did not give each other any face, they did not speak and lived in the same room. Under the eaves, they get along like two strangers.

Therefore, Xiao Zihan deliberately took the opportunity of Xiao Yuebai's birthday to make the family lively.

He held a small birthday party for Xiao Yuebai at home, and naturally only those acquaintances were invited.

But compared to the past, this time there was one more person who had never been here before: Fang Yu.

It just so happened that Fang Yu graduated and returned to China to participate in an event in the fashion industry, so Cai Jinyu invited Fang Yu to be her girlfriend to Xiao Yuebai's birthday party.

Besides, there were Cai Lin, Deng Langyue, Xu Yang, and a friend named Xiaohu that Xiao Yuebai made at school.

Although the number of people is still small, compared to the usual gatherings, it is already considered good.

It was Cai Jinyu's first time to bring Fang Yu to a party, and his mood was very high. He changed from the previous lazy way of throwing his hands at the shopkeeper, and was very diligent in helping Tang Xuan.

Several people knew that he was acting deliberately in front of Fang Yu, but in front of Fang Yu, on this happy day, everyone tacitly agreed not to tear down his stage, and let him perform vigorously.

As soon as there were more people, Xu Yang returned to his cute and well-behaved image. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a very delicate collar stay, sitting on the sofa, talking to Tang Xuan The first time I saw exactly the same.

However, now, Tang Xuan and Xu Yang have become close friends like best friends. She often listens to Xu Yang's dirty jokes, and even shares with Tang Xuan the private affairs between him and Fan Ming. There is no morals at all.

However, Fang Yu, who met Xu Yang for the first time, did not know Xu Yang's private character.

She saw that Xu Yang was good-looking, dressed in tasteful clothes, and his manners were more polite than polite, so she became curious about Xu Yang and took the initiative to chat with Xu Yang.

After this chat, they found out that the two of them were walking together, so they talked more and more, chatting happily and eloquently.

Tang Xuan knew Xu Yang's orientation, and she could also tell that Fang Yu chatted happily with Xu Yang just because of speculation, so she didn't have any superfluous thoughts.

But this scene fell into Cai Jinyu's eyes, it was not the same thing.

After Cai Jinyu hung up the colorful balloons, she turned around and saw Xu Yang tell a joke, which made Fang Yu laugh out loud, and the corner of her mouth immediately rolled down.

Holding the pump, he walked over to Xiao Zihan's side, and said sourly, "Look at that Xu Yang, he was so close to Tang Xuan at first, and now he chats so happily with Fang Yu, what's the matter with him?"

Xiao Zihan glanced at Cai Jinyu's gaze, shrugged indifferently, "Probably more likable."

"Aren't you angry?" Cai Jinyu couldn't help asking.

Xiao Zihan was surprised, "Angry? Why should I be angry? He and Tang Xuan are best friends. Why should I be angry?"

Cai Jinyu was completely surprised. Compared with the anger at Xu Yang chatting with Fang Yu, Xiao Zihan's indifferent attitude surprised him even more.

You know, Xiao Zihan is very jealous. If he gets closer to Tang Xuan, Xiao Zihan will be very unhappy.

But looking at Xiao Zihan's performance, he really didn't care, he didn't pretend, and Xiao Zihan didn't need to pretend.

How could this be?
Cai Jinyu fell into confusion. It happened that Tang Xuan came over with a cake. Cai Jinyu immediately stopped Tang Xuan and asked, "Tang Xuan, what do you think of Xu Yang?"

"Ah?" Tang Xuan blinked her eyes, "What's the matter? She has a very cute and likable personality. What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." Cai Jinyu choked out two words dryly.

After Tang Xuan walked away with the cake, Cai Jinyu asked Xiao Zihan again: "Your wife praised other men as attractive, are you not jealous?"

Xiao Zihan was actually a bit jealous, and before he knew Xu Yang's orientation, he was also unhappy because Xu Yang and Tang Xuan got close.

But after knowing that Xu Yang only liked men and had no interest in women since he was a child, he didn't worry at all.

If she insisted on being worried, Tang Xuan should be more worried. After all, Xu Yang praised him for being in good shape and very interesting.

But Xiao Zihan didn't know whether to tell Cai Jinyu these words. Although it was a bit immoral to hide Cai Jinyu's secrets like this, it was still interesting to see Cai Jinyu nervous like a headless chicken.

While Xiao Zihan was struggling, Tang Xuan had already set up a table and called people over.

Xiao Zihan immediately put away his meddling thoughts, and bumped his arm against Cai Jinyu, "Let's go, let's sing the birthday song."

"……All right."

On both sides of the huge dining table, Xiao Yuebai was surrounded by Zhao Suizhi, standing at the end of the dining table at the head of the table, wearing a small crown on her head and a small cloak with Pikachu printed on her body, she looked very cute.

Candles were lit, and several people standing around the dining table began to sing birthday wishes.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."

"Come on, make a wish and blow out the candles, baby."

Xiao Yuebai nodded, closed her eyes, and murmured: "I hope that the whole family can be happy and reunite. Grandma is happy, mother is happy, father is happy, brother is happy, and I am happy too."

He directly stated his wish, so simple, cute, but also sour.

Tang Xuan almost couldn't hold back anymore and shed tears on the spot.

She knew what had happened during this time, which caused her precocious son to have many thoughts that only adults had, and made him frightened.But she didn't expect that it would have such a big impact that a four-year-old child would make such a birthday wish.

Not only Tang Xuan, but also Zhao Suizhi's eyes turned red.

At the moment when Xiao Yuebai finished saying his birthday wish, there was a moment of silence around him. He didn't seem to feel that he had said anything serious. After speaking, he opened his eyes and smiled, and slapped his hands, "Okay, I'm going to blow out the candles!"

He took a deep breath and blew out the four candles in one go.

"Can we eat cake now?" He looked very happy, and asked Tang Xuan happily.

Tang Xuan nodded, "Yes, mother will cut the cake for you, baby, which piece would you like to eat?"

"I want to eat the one with the little moon. The tengu eats the moon, and I eat the moon too. I am the big tengu." He said excitedly to himself, "Mom, have you played that game? The big tengu in it is so handsome." So handsome."

Naturally, Tang Xuan had heard of the very popular card game in China, but since she was busy and didn't play games as a hobby, she never played it.

But in order not to spoil Xiao Yuebai's interest, Tang Xuan still said, "It's a pity that mom didn't play. You can show it to mom later, so mom can see how handsome she is, okay?"

"Okay! You're really handsome!" When Xiao Yuebai said this, there seemed to be twinkling stars in her eyes.

At this moment, he doesn't show the slightest sign of precocity, as if like all children of this age, he likes cartoon characters and connects the cartoon world with the real world.

But the birthday wish he just made made Tang Xuan and Zhao Suizhi feel a little bit stuck in their hearts.

Seeing Xiao Yuebai happily eating the cake, Tang Xuan couldn't help but look at Zhao Suizhi. At the same time, Zhao Suizhi also looked at Tang Xuan. Their eyes collided, and they didn't move away quickly this time.

Instead, in each other's eyes, they both saw endless sorrow.

And helpless.
