A foreign city, dear you

Cheng Dianfei silently looked at Cao Xueqian's figure burying his head at his desk, and felt a hint of sweetness in the air in the office.

very nice! This world belongs to the two of us.

very nice! Give me such a good opportunity.

I shared an office with him;

I breathed the same air as him;

I am with him and he is with me;

The wind that came in through the window brushed his cheek and mine;

It would be great if this time and space could stay here forever, even though he didn't look back at me...

Half an hour later, Cao Xueqian stood up and packed his things.

He suddenly saw Cheng Dianfei and said in surprise: "Mr. Cheng, aren't you getting off work yet?"

Cheng Dianfei was immersed in her beautiful thoughts. When she suddenly heard Cao Xueqian's question, she couldn't help but blush. She hesitated a little: "I, I, just have some unfinished business."

"Is there any difficulty?" Cao Xueqian saw Cheng Dianfei stammering and thought she had encountered another difficulty.

"No, no." Cheng Dianfei shook his head and reached for the wallet.

"Oh, then I'll leave first after get off work." Cao Xueqian said.

"Manager Cao!" Cheng Dianfei shouted.

Cao Xueqian looked up at Cheng Dianfei, with question marks in his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Cheng Dianfei brought the paper bag containing the wallet to Cao Xueqian and said shyly: "It's for you."

Cao Xueqian was obviously surprised and said with a smile: "Give it to me? No reward for no merit. I don't accept gifts from others easily."

When Cheng Dianfei heard this, she was afraid that Cao Xueqian would really refuse, so she quickly said: "Isn't it your birthday today? And, thank you for taking care of me all the time."

"Oh? Are you so thoughtful? I accept your kindness and the gift is waived." Cao Xueqian said politely.

When Cheng Dianfei heard this, he became anxious: "No, you have to accept it, otherwise I will spend my money in vain."

Seeing Cheng Dianfei's anxious look, Cao Xueqian found it interesting and joked: "Then you have to tell me what's in this, what if it's a sugar-coated bomb?"

"It's just a small wallet that expresses your feelings. How could it be a sugar-coated bullet?" Cheng Dianfei was a little anxious.

"That can't be accepted." Cao Xueqian still refused.

"Why? Do you think my gift is not good enough? I don't know what kind of gift you like." Cheng Dianfei's eyes began to dim.

Cao Xueqian felt a little sorry, so he accepted the paper bag: "I'm afraid of you, okay, I'll accept it, thank you. Then I have to get off work, so you should get off work early."

Cao Xueqian said and walked towards the door.

Cao Xueqian also wore a light blue overalls, but the pants were the milky white casual pants that Ye Lian bought for him.

Cheng Dianfei originally wanted to follow Cao Xueqian, but just now she was thinking about how to give away her wallet, so she forgot to pack it away, and she couldn't leave immediately.

She looked at Cao Xueqian's figure striding away and said, "I'll be leaving soon too. Happy birthday."

Cao Xueqian turned around, smiled at Cheng Dianfei, then stepped out of the door and disappeared.

Cheng Dianfei stood there blankly, recalling Cao Xueqian's handsome figure in blue and white when he went out, recalling Cao Xueqian's smile as warm as the spring breeze the moment he turned back, a sweet smile rippling like water waves on both sides of his mouth. .

She crossed her hands, held the back of her head, raised her head, and let the silent smile spread joyfully at the corners of her mouth and at the top of her eyebrows.

Would he like that wallet? Will he take it with him?

Cheng Dianfei thought about it, thought about it, packed her things, and left the office.

It was already past eight o'clock when Cao Xueqian got home.

Fortunately there was no traffic jam on the road, otherwise it would have been even later.

Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian were both waiting for him to eat.

"Didn't you say you would go home early today?" Ye Lian took the things from Cao Xueqian's hand and put them on the sofa casually.

"I got off work a little late today." Cao Xueqian said, putting on his slippers.

"Happy birthday, Dad!" Lanshan ran over and said to his father with his head raised.

"Thank you, honey. Have you finished your homework for today?" Cao Xueqian asked lovingly.

"It's done." After Lan Shan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and ran into his room.

"This guy is still running around after eating." Ye Lian scolded.

But Lanshan ran out again after a while: "Dad, look!"

"What?" Cao Xueqian asked.

When Lan Shan came closer, Cao Xueqian saw that it was a math test paper, and there was a big red mark of 100 on the paper.

"Wow, baby is great, got 100 points!" Cao Xueqian was very happy and extended his thumb towards Lanshan.

Lanshan smiled proudly, and then rambled on about how many students in their class had 100 points, how their teacher praised them, etc., and said that the teacher said that students who got 100 points could let their mother go home when they got home. Reward a big chicken drumstick...

"Haha," Cao Xueqian laughed and asked Ye Lian, "Did you hear that? I want to reward my son with a big chicken drumstick."

Ye Lian listened amusedly: "There are no chicken legs, but there are fried chicken wings."

"Wow, there are fried chicken wings. Isn't that better than chicken legs?"

Cao Xueqian deliberately said it in an exaggerated way, and Lan Shan grinned happily.

"Go and put away the test papers," Ye Lian urged Lan Shan, "Go wash your hands and eat."

There were four meats and one vegetable on the dinner table: steamed pork ribs with rice flour, large intestine with sauerkraut, pan-fried chicken wings, steamed Fu Shou fish and a green vegetable.

Basically, they are Cao Xueqian's favorite dishes, but the longevity fish is what Ye Lian wanted to take the meaning of "luck and longevity".

All dishes are light and not spicy.

Cao Xueqian didn't drink at home, so Ye Lian only prepared a bottle of coconut juice.

"It's hard work for my wife to cook so many dishes." Cao Xueqian said to Ye Lian when he saw the dishes on the table.

"Isn't it because of your birthday?" Ye Lian smiled.

"Thank you, wife, I'll open the coconut juice." Cao Xueqian said, opened the coconut juice, and then got three full cups.

"Come, let's wish dad a happy birthday!" Ye Lian raised her glass and said to Lan Shan.

Hearing this, Lan Shan raised his glass as well.

"Happy birthday!" the three of them shouted in unison.

The three glasses clinked together crisply, and the milky white coconut juice rippled with joy under the light.

"How about trying the ribs?" Ye Lian said and put a piece of ribs into Cao Xueqian's bowl.

"Well, it's delicious!" Cao Xueqian picked up the ribs and took a bite, praising them repeatedly.

"Husband, I'm sorry." Ye Lian said suddenly, looking a little guilty.

"What's wrong?" Cao Xueqian asked, "Why are you saying sorry?"

"I don't have any gifts for you today. I was shopping around today and didn't know what to buy." Ye Lian said a little distressed.

"Idiot. Isn't this table of food a gift? You staying with me is also a gift. I just like to celebrate my birthday simply like this. Eating my favorite food, the whole family laughs and laughs together. "Cao Xueqian comforted Ye Lian, but it was also what he was saying.
