I heard you are a junior

Hearing Zhong Yuxiao's words, Liu Jinya was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly recalled that she had written down the date of October 10th in her notebook and mobile phone.

At that time, she was very serious, and even set a reminder in her mobile phone—Zhong Yuxiao said that she had to find out who she was flattering, and sending a blessing on her boss' birthday should be something she should do, right?

The date has not arrived, and there is no reminder on the mobile phone. For Liu Jinya, October 10th is just an ordinary day in the middle of the long vacation.

She forgot, if Zhong Yuxiao hadn't stood in front of her and said this, she wouldn't even remember trying to memorize such a thing.

Obviously thought of sending a text message to please...

"That's it." Perhaps because she was disappointed with her memory, Liu Jinya felt inexplicably embarrassed. She squeezed out a bright smile as if to make up for it, and asked Zhong Yuxiao softly, "How do you want to celebrate your birthday? I will accompany you."

Zhong Yuxiao stared at the flowerpot in front of her, and lowered her voice so that no one could hear her emotions, "I haven't watered for several days."

Liu Jinya remembered that the watering can was in the assistant's office, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get the watering can." After that, she turned around and left. When she got to the door and took out the key to open it, she heard an unhurried voice from her side. He turned his head to look at the sound of footsteps, and sure enough, he saw Zhong Yuxiao who was following suit.

Zhong Yuxiao hugged the big flowerpot with her thin arms, her white and tender fingers clenched tightly, her face was obviously expressionless, and she looked like she was bewildered and cute.

Liu Jinya couldn't stand being stared at by watery eyes, her heart softened for a moment, and her voice softened endlessly, but it was out of place in front of the office where she was standing now, "Wait a minute, it will be soon."

"Hmm~" Zhong Yuxiao didn't regard herself as a boss, and responded with a soft nasal voice.

Liu Jinya opened the door, didn't bother to turn on the light, and found the watering can directly by the light reflected outside the window.

"Come." Liu Jinya worried that Zhong Yuxiao was tired, and pointed to the window in the corridor, "Let's go there."

"why?"

"We'll leave later, the doors and windows of the office will be closed." Liu Jinya said, "It doesn't matter here, let her bask in the sun and enjoy the air."

Zhong Yuxiao didn't believe it, and directly refuted it with experience, "When I was at work, I let it dry and bask in the sun every day, and it always looked listless."

"You blow it with air-conditioning air." Liu Jinya said helplessly, "Especially when it's hotter, with a 20-degree cold wind blowing, can it be fine?"

Zhong Yuxiao curled her lips, but still muttered unconvinced, "Qi Su will take it out to bask in the sun."

"..." The words were full of meaning that she was irresponsible, Liu Jinya didn't follow Zhong Yuxiao's cuteness at this time, "I'm sorry, Qi Su's notebook didn't write this point."

Touching the small young leaves in the flowerpot, Zhong Yuxiao hummed softly, noncommittal.

Liu Jinya didn't care about the angry Zhong Baobao, picked up the watering can and sprayed it twice, seeing the water stains on the green leaves and reflecting the moist brilliance, she smiled with satisfaction, "It's okay, I will definitely live to bloom."

She said it with certainty, Zhong Yuxiao took it seriously, and asked softly, "Have you raised it before?"

"No, I can't stand the need to bend over and squat down to grow flowers." Liu Jinya told the truth immediately.

Zhong Yuxiao scanned her up and down, "Really?"

"I'm not spoiled." Liu Jinya hurriedly defended, "My waist was injured before, so I can't be too tired. Although things like growing flowers and vegetables are very suitable for people who are at home to cultivate themselves and pass the time, they are essentially physical labor. The poor physical fitness can't bear it."

"How did you get hurt?"

"I fell down." Liu Jinya sighed, "If I was alone, I would have avoided it, but as soon as I let go...Mom...Auntie will fall."

She almost followed the habit of calling mom again.

Xu Rongyuan treated her badly, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were kind to her, especially her mother-in-law, from the first time she saw her, she didn't have prejudice because of her family conditions, but liked her gentle and obedient temperament very much.After she got sick, her mother-in-law felt very sorry for her hard work in taking care of her. She kept crying on the hospital bed and said sorry to her while crying.

After learning of her husband's cheating, she made up her mind to divorce. She was in a hurry, and she didn't have the time, let alone the mood, to contact her in-laws.The day after the formalities were completed, the mother-in-law asked her sister-in-law to call her. She was tidying up the room in a daze. Seeing that the remark was changed and the number was still familiar and recognizable at a glance, she felt complicated, so she pressed the mute and never got through.

After several attempts, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law understood her attitude when they saw that she didn't answer the phone, so they didn't try to contact her again.

Liu Jinya also chose to forget, busy with work, and now being asked by Zhong Yuxiao, when recalling the past, she forgot to change her name when she mentioned it.

Zhong Yuxiao didn't seem to notice this detail, and continued to ask, "Is it serious?"

"Fracture, recovery is okay, if you pay attention to life, the impact will be small."

"When you were in N City, you must have been in pain at night."

Liu Jinya was stunned, "How do you know?"

"I didn't fall asleep at that time." Zhong Yuxiao said lightly, and after listening to her words, he put the flowerpot on the window in the corridor, and changed the screen window for ventilation so that he was no longer confined.

"No wonder you got up so early," Liu Jinya said apologetically, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, because I was in dizzy pain and didn't have much control over my voice and movements."

Zhong Yuxiao turned to look at her, "Why talk so much about the past."

"I'm sorry."

"Then I have to apologize to you tens of thousands of times for Xu Rongyuan's matter."

"..." Liu Jinya was speechless, and it took a while to squeeze out the next sentence, "Okay, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about how to spend your birthday."

Zhong Yuxiao pointed to the mooncakes behind the door, "Eat mooncakes?"

"How about it? You don't like moon cakes, so you still use them to celebrate your birthday?" Liu Jinya walked to the window and looked, "The store below is still open. Let's go and buy something."

On matters other than work, Zhong Yuxiao was always easy to talk, went back to the office, took her bag and followed her.

The guard pouted impatiently when he saw them coming over in the middle of the night and running up and down again.

Liu Jinya also felt that the office was not a good place to celebrate, so she asked Zhong Yuxiao, "Is your home close?"

"A long way to go."

"Oh," Liu Jinya thought about the distance, "let's go to my house and walk over while shopping."

"Ah."

There were many pedestrians on the night of the holiday. Liu Jinya looked at Zhong Yuxiao who was parallel to her and two steps away, feeling awkward, walked over and directly linked her arms, and said in Zhong Yuxiao's surprised eyes, "Xiaoxiao, it's time to get off work now." Time, we don't need to keep distance one after the other, right?"

"No need." Zhong Yuxiao responded softly, and the hands surrounded by her finally relaxed and became less stiff.

Liu Jinya saw a cake shop and was attracted by the cakes filled with strawberries on the poster.The dishes ordered at the class reunion were all big fish and meat. She ate a stomach full of greasy food. Seeing the beautifully photographed fruits, she couldn't resist at all, and yearned for the sweet and sour taste.

"Buy it." Zhong Yuxiao saw it, and dragged her in without saying a word.

They went in and out in less than 10 minutes and bought two bags.

"They say I'll pay for it." Liu Jinya complained in a low voice.

This cake shop is not expensive, and she will be able to afford the salary at the beginning of next month.It's a pity that scanning the payment is not as fast as taking banknotes from the wallet. As soon as she lowered her head, Zhong Yuxiao had already handed the cash to the cashier.

Zhong Yuxiao deliberately ignored this sentence, and glanced at the fruit stand next to her, "I want to eat pears."

"..." Liu Jinya was clever this time, and strode forward to buy it.

Zhong Yuxiao looked at Liu Jinya's hurried back and smiled without saying a word.

Carrying things, the two of them can't walk so lightly. The heaviest cantaloupe is packed in a bag, and each of them pulls it aside, but it's a disguise to hold it well, and the pedestrians who come and go can't pass through it.

After arriving home safely, Liu Jinya put away her things and sat on the sofa.

Zhong Yuxiao put on the slippers from last time, and asked out of the blue, "Why do you buy couple slippers."

"What couple slippers." Liu Jinya said bluntly without any scruples, "I bought it online, buy one and get one free. I originally wanted to change a pair if I wore it out, but when you come... just treat it as a guest."

Zhong Yuxiao stopped talking and unwrapped the cake.

Liu Jinya noticed that there were only two thick red candles in the bag besides the knife and fork, and she was unwilling to pick it up and look at it, "This cake shop is really cheap, we bought something for 200 yuan, and it only gave it... It will bloom when it is placed on the cabinet The singing kind."

"There have been reports of explosions caused by poor workmanship." Zhong Yuxiao said seriously after thinking about it.

Seeing that her birthday was approaching at 11 o'clock, Liu Jinya tapped Zhong Yuxiao's head with a candle angrily, "It's almost a birthday, why are you talking?"

Zhong Yuxiao held the place where she had knocked, with a face full of disbelief.

"Xiaoxiao, it doesn't hurt." Liu Jinya patted her shoulder to comfort her, then looked at the candle and worried, "This is ugly... how to put it on the cake."

She thought about it, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and ran to the room to bring a small carving knife, and skillfully carved numbers on the candles.

"You know how to carve?" Zhong Yuxiao was a little surprised to see her carve a beautiful number "2" in twos and threes.

"A little bit, I used to play with rubber stamps to decorate the pocketbook." Liu Jinya said, stretched out her hand to make a stamp, and when she was about to move the knife, she was dazed, and turned her head to ask, "How old are you?"

"25."

Liu Jinya muttered, "You are so young."

Zhong Yu suddenly started to speak, "You are also very young."

"Older than you." Liu Jinya carved out a "5" and raised it in her hand, "When I was my age, I was eating and dying at home. You are already a little leader."

Zhong Yuxiao's eyes dimmed slightly, "You got married at the age of 22, I probably won't get married in this life."

"Ah?" Liu Jinya was dumbfounded.

Zhong Yuxiao took her candle, and reversed the order to become "52", "Maybe when I was 52 years old, I was exactly the same as now. No one at home was waiting, and I pulled my subordinates to celebrate my birthday with me."

Liu Jinya couldn't listen anymore, "Impossible, you are so beautiful, even if you don't know anything, there will be many people queuing up to marry you."

"Shouldn't the point be whether there is anyone who makes me willing to marry?"

Liu Jinya sighed quietly, "Yes."

Regarding marriage, Zhong Yuxiao was not interested, and Liu Jinya had no hope. The two pessimistic people could not say anything positive when they got together.

"Don't think about it." Liu Jinya turned on the TV to make some noise in the house.

However, the TV station is full of quarrelsome mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas.

"..." She switched to the news on one station and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I save money and don't pay the fee, there are only two stations."

Zhong Yuxiao's attitude was casual, "It's okay, I don't like watching TV."

"What do you like to do?"

"Work."

"..."

Liu Jinya felt that there was no way to talk that day, so she took the Sydney pear and cantaloupe, washed them, peeled them, cut them into pieces, placed them on a plate, and returned to the coffee table to find that only 15 minutes had passed in despair.Zhong Yuxiao seemed to be looking at stocks or something on his mobile phone. He was calm and focused, and he was more calm than the old man playing chess in the park.

"Eat fruit." Liu Jinya greeted.

Zhong Yuxiao obediently ate a piece of pear and a piece of cantaloupe, then glanced back at the phone.

"Hey." Liu Jinya felt helpless, "Don't you have any entertainment in your spare time?"

"Running, yoga, beauty care, listening to music." Zhong Yuxiao seemed to be answering the teacher, listing them out one by one.

Liu Jinya chose the easiest way to open the topic, "What music?"

"classical music."

"..." Liu Jinya wanted to start with maintenance, stared at Zhong Yuxiao's delicate skin but couldn't speak, turned her head and continued to look for things to toss.She ate a small egg tart first, and drinking some water couldn't wash away her tiredness.

At some point, Zhong Yuxiao picked up the candle with engraved numbers to ponder.

The work was held up to look at it, Liu Jinya felt awkward, and looked at it even more ugly. After asking for one, she came back and tried to recall the patterns she had carved, thinking about whether she could decorate the candle more to cover up the vulgar red background.

She scratched and scratched on the post-it notes, and after she made up her mind, she took a small carving knife to beautify the numbers into curlicues, and carved out a love circle made of vines.

Liu Jinya was a little impetuous at first, especially when she was not satisfied.But as soon as she raised her eyes and met Zhong Yuxiao's expectant eyes, she felt that this troublesome and laborious thing had become great again, and she took the trouble to engrave slowly according to the design pattern.

Time is running fast now.

"The TV station will tell you the time, October 10th, at 4 o'clock."

Liu Jinya was holding the second candle to start the engraving. She stopped and reacted in a daze, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Zhong Yuxiao raised the corners of her mouth subconsciously, her eyes were gentle, and then she realized that such a smile was too unlike her, so she blinked awkwardly to avoid looking at each other.

"I haven't finished engraving..." Liu Jinya didn't notice Zhong Yuxiao's entanglement. She looked at the time and then at the unfinished candle in her hand, quite regretfully, "It's a pity, I can fully prepare if I start earlier."

Zhong Yuxiao opened the cake, took the candle and inserted it into the net, and said softly, "This is fine."

"But……"

Zhong Yuxiao suddenly forked a strawberry and fed it to her mouth, "Didn't you want to eat it for a long time?"

Smelling the fragrance of strawberries, Liu Jinya's heart was moved, and then seeing that the neatly arranged strawberry array on the cake had been destroyed, she sighed—forget it, the cake is not perfect anyway, and it's no big deal if the candle hearts don't match up.

Lighting the candle with a lighter, Liu Jinya turned off the light, went to the cake emitting warm light, cleared her throat and sang, "Happy birthday to you..."

She sang like a normal girl, Zhong Yuxiao listened and hummed softly, but the tune was very attractive.

Liu Jinya was embarrassed to sing, and suggested, "Make a wish and blow out the candles."

"You promise me."

"what?"

Zhong Yuxiao lowered her eyes and clenched the cake knife with her fingertips, "I have no wish."

Seeing Zhong Yuxiao's soft and well-behaved face in the dark, Liu Jinya couldn't bear to ask questions to spoil the current atmosphere. She closed her eyes to help the public wish for "good health" and "everything goes well", and opened her eyes slightly to see the dim light. I can't tell what night it is today, as if I have returned to the childhood when I prayed devoutly to the candles.

There is a selfish desire in her heart that pops up in disobedience-hoping to be reconciled with her mother.

-

Zhong Yuxiao kept watching Liu Jinya make a wish.

With clasped hands, the corners of the mouth were tangled and lightly pursed, and the slightly raised chin made the moist lips glow seductively.

Zhong Yuxiao couldn't look away.

She also has a wish.

However, she doesn't want to pray to God, she just wants to work hard to achieve it.
