For this birthday lunch, Yu Rui obviously made full preparations in advance.

Stir-fried shrimp with green and white broccoli, sweet and glutinous pine nut corn with yellow and yellow powder, fish head with chopped pepper covered with thick material, and oily shiitake mushroom and rapeseed—four plates The main course was served on a translucent white plate accompanied by three bowls of rice, and Yu Li, who was talking to Xie Li at the table, opened her eyes wide.

After recovering, she moved the stool to Xie Li's ear, hooked her fingers, "Brother Xie Li, let me tell you."

Feeling a glance from Yu Rui's side, Xie Li looked back with a half-smile, and at the same time leaned down towards Yu Li very "obediently", "Well, I'm listening."

Yu Li covered her mouth with her hand, and she thought she said "quietly", "Usually there are only two of us in the family, my brother has never cooked so many dishes, this is the first time."

"Oh? First time?" Xie Li raised his eyes and looked at Yu Rui, "Then I'm really honored, monitor."

"..."

Yu Rui remained silent, looking helplessly at his "little traitor".Being warned by her brother's gaze, Yu Li slowly lowered her head and dragged the chair back to her original position, not forgetting to make eye contact with Xie Li several times.

Xie Li divided the dishes and sat down by himself.

"Xiaoli, wash your hands."

"Oh, good." Yu Li jumped off the stool and ran to the bathroom.

Yu Rui's eyes fell on Xie Li.

Xie Li innocently shrugged, "I've already washed it." He paused, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Many times."

Yu Rui: "..."

Yu Rui was so angry that he gritted his teeth slightly, but there was nothing he could do about this person, so he could only endure it aggrieved.

Xie Li smiled, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, "However, the meal at noon today is indeed too rich, I am a little flattered, monitor."

Yu Rui looked away a little uncomfortably, "...you gave me gifts on my birthday and when I first met Xiaoli, and you also helped a lot before, cooking a meal is nothing."

"Well, if one meal is nothing, can you cook for me every meal in the future?"

Yu Rui looked up at Xie Li expressionlessly.

Reading the meaning of "you are dreaming" from Yu Rui's eyes, Xie Li smiled even more cheerfully, "You can make a condition, any price is fine, I will give you everything."

"..." Yu Rui was silent for a few seconds, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he smiled mockingly, "Give me everything? You are not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue."

"You do not believe?"

"Why should I believe it?" Yu Rui asked calmly, "Although you are two years older than me, you are only 18 this year. You are only 18 years old. You may not be sure about the next two years. How dare you say what the price is? What can you do to give me this kind of life-changing words?"

"..."

After Yu Rui finished speaking, the restaurant fell silent.After waiting for Xie Li to respond for a long time, Yu Rui frowned slightly.

He knew he was taking it a bit seriously - obviously he was the last person who would take it seriously.But when he heard Xie Li say that just now, he just couldn't hold back, and even forgot the time and occasion...

"turn out to be."

"..." A low laugh suddenly sounded in Yu Rui's ear, and Yu Rui, who was still annoyed at himself, raised his head blankly, and saw Xie Li lowering his eyes, and an uncontrollable joyful smile overflowed from the voice——

"It turns out that the squad leader has already thought that a lifetime is so long?"

Yu Rui choked for a few seconds, and it was rare for him to feel ashamed and indignantly speechless: "You, what nonsense are you talking about."

Xie Li smiled, "I'm not talking nonsense, it was you, the monitor, who said it yourself."

"I'm just saying that it's too much for you to say such big words at your age!" Yu Rui explained.

"..."

Xie Li still looked at him and smiled.

When Yu Rui couldn't hold back the playful look in his eyes and wanted to give up arguing, he suddenly heard Xie Li ask——

"If only I could take responsibility for my words."

"?" Yu Rui looked up.

The laziness in Xie Li's smile faded away, and his brows and eyes were dyed with a rare serious emotion. He stared at Yu Rui for a moment, "I made the bet you said that day. We will see the result at that time." Bar."

Xie Li paused and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"But I want to remind you of one thing, squad leader. How could you have the option to stay out of it so easily when you provoked a patient? ——If I win, I will definitely give the 'reward' that I should get by then. Bring it back."

"..."

Under Xie Lina's aggressive gaze, Yu Rui subconsciously avoided his eyes.

-

In the evening, Xie Li went out to buy a birthday cake for herself.

Although it was said to be for him, it was completely according to the preferences of a girl of Yuli's age.In a hurry, he found a cake shop near Yu Rui's house and hurriedly made it, then walked back with the cake.

Along the way, Xie Li took the birthday greeting call from Lin Yihuan and the other three, and explained in the most perfunctory manner what is meant by "emphasizing sex over friends", and walked towards Yu Rui's house in a happy mood.

Until another phone rings.

Xie Li originally thought it was Lin Yihuan and the other three, who were frowning impatiently, but saw "Yu Li" on the caller ID.

Xie Li's footsteps stopped suddenly.

——Yu Li knew that he was out to buy cakes, so he wouldn't rush for no reason.The sudden call at this time is more likely to be...something happened.

The smile on Xie Li's face suddenly turned cold.

He immediately picked up the phone, "Xiao Li?"

"Thank you... Brother Xie Li..." Yu Li's voice trembled slightly on the other side of the phone, "Can you come back quickly? That person is back...he hit my brother again..."

"—!"

Xie Li's hand holding the cake ribbon suddenly clenched into a fist.

He understood who "that person" was almost at the first moment, and the word "you" made his heart full of rage for a moment, and his eyes were tearing apart.

"I'll be right there."

Every word seems to be squeezed out from the cracks in the bones, with a creaking sound of clenched teeth.

The cake was thrown on the ground, and Xie Li ran forward.

When Xie Li rushed to the door, the outer door of Yu Rui's house was wide open, and the man's drunken cursing could be heard intermittently from inside.

Other than that, there was no other sound.

Xie Li stopped and ran all the way so fast that his chest heaved violently.Those pitch-black eyes were filled with extremely gloomy and violent emotions, like the black clouds that weighed down when the mountain rain was about to come.

He pushed open the door and walked in.
