Program yuan off the single plan

Chapter 27 Celebrating Birthday

Xiang Yun didn't expect to meet Lin Zhixin in the supermarket, but it's normal to think about it. She doesn't like to go to the supermarket, but it doesn't mean that Lin Zhixin stays at home like her.

"teacher LIN!"

Xiang Yun pushed the cart and walked over, raised his arms to greet Lin Zhixin.

Lin Zhixin was choosing tissues in the daily necessities section when she suddenly heard Xiang Yun's voice. She was a little surprised and turned around to see Xiang Yun walking towards her.

She frowned and responded with a smile:

"Are you coming to the supermarket too?"

Nod to the cloud, do not hide:

"I plan to buy some snacks and ingredients, and cook a small hot pot at home tomorrow."

Lin Zhixin blinked unexpectedly, and said curiously:

"Can you heat a small hot pot by yourself?"

She didn't seem to have seen Xiang Yun buy and cook by himself. Most of the time, he ordered takeaway, and twice the takeaway guy even delivered to the wrong door.

Lin Zhixin always thought that if Xiang Yun didn't go to restaurants, his three meals besides takeaway would be instant noodles.

If Xiang Yun knew about this idea, I don't know if Xiang Yun would be hit hard.

"Well, I know a little bit. It's okay if I can barely do it. I usually live alone, so I don't bother to cook."

Xiang Yun looked at the shelf, answered Lin Zhixin's words, and at the same time reached out and took a large pack of used tissues and threw them into the cart. They have come here, and there are not many tissues left at home, so they bought some to go home.

Lin Zhi thought it was true, nodded and said with a smile:

"It's good to know how to do it yourself. Like me, I'm not very good at it. I can mix a salad and fry an egg as much as possible."

She was honest about what she wasn't good at, without embarrassment.

Xiang Yun thought of Lin Zhixin's porridge cooking and the next two cooking sessions, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and answered with a smile:

"No, I think the porridge and noodles cooked by Mr. Lin are also delicious."

She was very sincere when she spoke, Lin Zhixin glanced at her, unable to tell whether her words were teasing or compliments from the bottom of her heart.

"Then I'll ask you to try other types of dark cuisine when I have a chance."

"Okay."

Xiang Yun couldn't help laughing, she felt that Lin Zhixin seemed to be in a good mood today.

Lin Zhixin took a bag of toilet paper from the shelf, and picked a few packs of sanitary napkins beside her. Seeing that she was empty-handed and didn't carry the basket, Xiang Yun asked:

"Do you want to buy a lot? Or put it in my cart."

Lin Zhixin was holding a bunch of tissues and was going to pay the bill. When Xiang Yun asked, she subconsciously wanted to politely refuse, but when she turned her head and looked into Xiang Yun's peaceful and clear eyes, she changed her mind.

Since Xiang Yun regards her as a friend, she also wants to try to accept it more calmly.

"I haven't decided what I need to buy yet, let's go shopping together."

As she spoke, she put the things she had just chosen into the trolley in front of Xiang Yun, said "thank you" around her mouth, and swallowed it consciously without spitting it out.

Xiang Yun was flattered.

Lin Zhixin had already turned around and continued walking forward.

Xiang Yun's gentle gaze paused for a moment on Lin Zhixin's back, and then quickly moved away. The expression on her face did not change much from before, but the smile in her eyes seemed to come alive and became more vivid. .

Before Lin Zhixin urged him, Xiang Yun pushed the cart and quickly followed, and said at the same time:

"Mr. Lin, is the injury on your foot still hurting?"

"It's much better, but it's just a little itchy these two days."

Lin Zhixin picked up the glass on the shelf. Hearing Xiang Yun's question, she remembered the lethality of the broken glass, put it down without hesitation, and turned to look at the stainless steel water glass aside.

"Then you still have to be careful, don't grab it with your hands."

Seeing Lin Zhixin put down the glass, Xiang Yun immediately understood Lin Zhixin's concern, but the stainless steel cups were too ugly, Lin Zhixin frowned.

Lin Zhixin obeyed Xiang Yun's instructions obediently, and looked back and forth several times, but couldn't find the cup she liked.

Xiang Yun leaned over with a smile, swept his eyes, took a unique light blue enamel cup from the shelf, and handed it to Lin Zhixin:

"This cup is pretty nice, what do you think, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Zhixin looked at the cup in her hand, her eyes lit up immediately, she reached out to take it and looked at it carefully.

There are small light yellow prints on the body of the cup, the workmanship is not rough, and the edges are polished very round.Probably sold out, it was placed behind a pile of miscellaneous cups, so that Lin Zhixin didn't see it just now.

Enamel, but also strong, not broken.

"It's pretty, that's it."

Lin Zhixin was in a happy mood, and smiled back at Yun.

Xiang Yun seemed to be infected by her smile, and a layer of waves rose up in her peaceful heart, making the corners of her eyes and brows stained with a smile.

They went to the food and vegetable section together again, and bought a lot of hot pot ingredients and a bunch of puffed food from Yun.

Lin Zhixin looked at the pile of "junk food" in the cart and hesitated for a while before speaking:

"Xiang Yun, puffed food and instant noodles may not be healthy, it's better to eat less."

She actually understood that she had no position to interfere with Xiang Yun's freedom to buy things, but there were too many snacks, so Lin Zhixin couldn't hold back, so she mentioned it.

Xiang Yun originally planned to take two more packs of potato chips, but when she heard Lin Zhixin say this, she froze for a moment, then retracted her hand embarrassingly, with a shameful expression on her face.

Lin Zhixin felt that what she said just now was too abrupt, and thought about how to remedy it.

But in the next second, under Lin Zhixin's astonished eyes, Xiang Yun quickly put the bags of snacks and instant noodles in the cart back to their original positions, and then grinned and showed his big white teeth:

"Well, Mr. Lin is right, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Lin Zhixin was amused by her, she didn't hold her face, and burst out laughing, she walked over and reached out to take off the bag of potato chips Xiang Yun was going to take from the shelf and throw it into the cart:

"It's okay to eat a little once in a while, why put it all back."

Xiang Yun touched the small broom on the back of his head, smiled and didn't answer.

After everything was bought, Xiang Yun and Lin Zhixin went to check out together, but there were a lot of items in the cart, it was difficult to distinguish which belonged to whom, and it might take a lot of time.

This time, before Xiang Yun could speak, Lin Zhixin took the initiative to say:

"You can help me pad it first, and I will transfer it to you according to the bill later."

Xiang Yun didn't expect Lin Zhixin to say this, she was a little surprised, but she quickly realized and responded:

"it is good."

After paying the bill, Lin Zhixin divided her own belongings and Xiangyun's belongings into two pockets on the other side of the cash register. Xiangyun took out the settlement list and took the initiative to pick up the two pockets together.

Lin Zhi was stunned, intending to stop her, Xiang Yun said:

"Let's go, the injury on your foot hasn't healed yet, it's only a few steps away, I'll help you lift it up."

Xiang Yun was so enthusiastic, Lin Zhixin had no choice but to follow Xiang Yun towards the unit building.

"Ms. Lin, are you free tomorrow, why don't you come to my house to cook hot pot together?"

The two walked downstairs side by side, and Xiang Yun only mustered up the courage to speak out what he had been brewing for a long time.

Lin Zhixin was a little surprised. She looked at Xiang Yun's slightly lowered eyes, and was thinking about how to answer, so she didn't answer immediately.

Xiang Yun was worried that Lin Zhixin would find her abrupt, so he bit her and added:

"Actually...tomorrow is my birthday."

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. With this appearance, why did she feel like intimidating Lin Zhixin.The more she talked, the more confused she became, and subconsciously continued to remedy:

"If you don't have time..."

Xiang Yun's throat moved, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was about to say the last part of "It's okay".

"If you are free, I wish you a happy birthday in advance, and I will go over on time tomorrow to bother you."

Lin Zhixin interrupted Xiang Yun's flustered words. She saw a smile of pure joy appearing on Xiang Yun's suddenly raised face, and then she realized in a daze that her politeness and alienation seemed to make the gentle and considerate Xiang Yun Walking on eggshells.

Even the invitation to the birthday party, she spoke so carefully.

Xiang Yun bought a lot of ingredients, and she couldn't eat it alone. There should be other friends coming to celebrate her birthday.

Between friends, such a normal communication is very common.

Lin Zhixin agreed, and began to think about what kind of gift he should give Xiang Yun.

Time is a little tight, go out early tomorrow to choose.

Xiang Yun sent Lin Zhixin to the door of the house, and when Lin Zhixin entered the house, she also went home and started cleaning. She couldn't come to play with Yang Yue and Lin Zhixin tomorrow, but saw her in a mess all over the house. That would be very rude.

The next day, Yang Yue came to the community where Xiang Yun lived very early by bus. With gifts and cakes in her hand, she found the unit building according to the WeChat message Xiang Yun sent her, and took the elevator up.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Yang Yue was surprised to see a very temperamental beauty standing outside, about to enter the elevator.

The two met each other and were stunned at the same time.

It was Lin Zhixin who reacted first, glanced at the cake box in Yang Yue's hand, and understood Yang Yue's intention in her heart. With an impeccable smile on her face, she greeted Yang Yue:

"Hi, Miss Yang, we met."

Yang Yue recalled that this beautiful and delicate woman was Xiang Yun's neighbor, surnamed Lin.

"Ms. Lin, hello, long time no see. I'm here today to see Sister Yun."

Such a good-looking person is easy to be remembered.

She nodded politely to Lin Zhixin, and Lin Zhixin took half a step back to let Yang Yue get out of the elevator first.

Yang Yue didn't immediately knock on the door of Yun's house, but waved goodbye to Lin Zhixin. After the elevator door closed, she turned to look at the house numbers of the residents on both sides.

Xiang Yun didn't sleep in today, she got up early to work in the kitchen, first picked and washed all the vegetables that were going to be blanched at noon, and sliced ​​some pieces of meat.

Although it can't be very delicate, some ordinary operations still don't bother her.

Halfway through washing the dishes, Xiang Yun heard the knock on the door, put down the things in his hands, wiped the water stains on his hands on the apron, and walked to the hallway to open the security door while calling out "Come on".

"Clang, clang, clang! Happy birthday, Sister Yun!"

Holding the cake box in her hand, Yang Yue leaned over to show Xiang Yun as if offering a treasure.

Xiang Yun bent her eyes and smiled, she stretched out her hand to take what was in Yang Yue's hand, and greeted warmly:

"Thank you, come in."

As she spoke, she took out a spare pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them at Yang Yue's feet.

Yang Yue politely changed her shoes in the hall, and followed Xiang Yun into the living room. Seeing that Xiang Yun was wearing an apron, she proactively got into the kitchen.

Xiang Yun went back to the sink and continued to wash the vegetables, and said to Yang Yue who was following up in the kitchen:

"Let's heat a small hot pot for lunch today."

Yang Yue didn't choose, and said yes, but when she walked to the stove and took a look, she was shocked:

"Oh, sister Yun, why is the meat cut so thick?"

Old Xiang Yun blushed and cleared his throat in embarrassment:

"Cough... I'm not very good at swordsmanship."

Yang Yue was dazzled by Xiang Yun's shy smile. It was the first time she saw Xiang Yun wearing an apron and smiling shyly. She was surprised and curious.

When she was in the company, although Xiang Yun could smile, most of her smiles were quiet and silent, far less vivid than now.

It turns out that Sister Yun, who is omnipotent in her heart, has sword skills like a newbie.

The tall and tall image suddenly shattered, but Yang Yue didn't feel lost, but had a different kind of joy.

"I'll help you change the knife."

Yang Yue took the initiative to invite Ying. She was not as good at things in the company as Xiang Yun, but she dared to guarantee that Xiang Yun was not as good as her in cooking in the kitchen.

Xiang Yun turned around in surprise, and saw Yang Yue roll up his sleeves, wash his hands and pick up a knife with ease, skillfully took out the slices of meat that Xiang Yun had cut and changed the knife, every piece of meat that Xiang Yun cut, Yang Yue could divide it into pieces. Three or four thin slices.

Xiang Yun was dumbfounded at Yang Yue's miraculous ability, as if he was miraculous.

Yang Yue turned on the super power mode and took care of all the things in the kitchen. Xiang Yun couldn't interfere at all. Then Yang Yue wanted to stir-fry the hot pot base, and ruthlessly drove Xiang Yun out of the kitchen, even the apron on Xiang Yun's body. Also snatched.

The sound of jingling bells came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sizzling sound of the oil pan and the rumbling sound of the range hood. Xiang Yun stood awkwardly at the door of the kitchen, neither standing nor sitting.

At this time, someone knocked on the door again, and Xiang Yun was pardoned, and quickly ran to open the door, and it was Lin Zhixin who came.

"Xiang Yun, excuse me."

Lin Zhixin smiled slightly at her.

"Teacher Lin! Welcome, welcome!"

Xiang Yun was very warm, so she took a pair of guest slippers, and when Lin Zhixin had changed, she led Lin Zhixin to the living room to sit down, made a pot of tea, and poured a cup for Lin Zhixin.

As soon as Lin Zhixin came, Xiang Yun could finally stop doing nothing.

They sat down to chat, Lin Zhixin saw that the glass door of the kitchen was closed, and there was a figure busy inside, it was Yang Yue.

"Yang Yue is here, and she thinks I'm not good at working, so she kicks me out."

Xiang Yun followed Lin Zhixin's gaze to the kitchen. She didn't know that Lin Zhixin had met Yang Yue in the morning, so she took the initiative to explain.

When Lin Zhixin heard the words, the corners of her lips curled up:

"It seems that Ms. Yang's cooking skills should be good."

Nodding to the cloud:

"She is very good at knives, and she may cook often. As for cooking, I will know it later, and I have never tried it before."

Holding the teacup in her hand, Lin Zhixin took a sip, her eyes fell on Xiang Yun's face, and she said with deep meaning:

"Miss Yang is a nice person, and she has a cute smile."

Although there is only a relationship between two sides, Lin Zhixin's impression of Yang Yue is quite clear.

Especially in the elevator room just now, Yang Yue showed a very good upbringing, which impressed her deeply.

Xiang Yun didn't realize the deeper meaning of Lin Zhixin's words. She took an orange from the fruit plate, peeled it and replied with a smile:

"If this little girl hears you praising her like that, she might raise her tail to the sky."

She handed the peeled orange to Lin Zhixin, Lin Zhixin chuckled and said nothing.

"Sister Yun, the hot pot base is ready, it's almost time to start cooking the hot pot!"

When the sliding door of the kitchen slammed, Yang Yue poked her head out from the crack of the door and looked at the people in the living room.

Xiang Yun and Lin Zhixin turned their heads at the same time, Xiang Yun stood up, threw away the unfinished fried melon seeds, walked towards the kitchen, and prepared to take out the electric hot pot and put it on the table.

Lin Zhixin smiled and nodded to Yang Yue.

Yang Yue heard voices outside just now, and knew someone was coming, but she didn't expect that it was Lin Zhixin.

"Miss Lin is here too!"

She smiled and said hello.

Lin Zhixin joked with her:

"Well, Xiang Yun was still praising your sword skills just now."

Yang Yue was caught off guard, and blushed all of a sudden, she gave Xiang Yun a shy and angry look, just like a shy and innocent little daughter-in-law, and replied embarrassingly:

"Sister Yun is talking nonsense, and I will make some simple ones."

Although she was self-effacing, the smiles in her eyes seemed to pour out of her sockets.

Anyone could see her genuine joy.

Yang Yue's performance was so obvious, perhaps because the authorities were fascinated by the bystanders, Xiang Yun didn't respond, but Lin Zhixin had already seen that this little girl liked Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun has a good personality, quiet and gentle, and a good-looking person. It is normal to be liked by others.

Lin Zhixin sighed in his heart, maybe Xiangyun is still a sweet potato.

Hearing their conversation, Xiang Yun smiled and interjected:

"Okay, don't be modest, come, bring out the food, let's eat!"

Yang Yue stuck out her tongue towards Yun and made a grimace, her expression was rebellious, but her actions were obedient and she helped Xiang Yun take out all the ingredients prepared in the kitchen.

Lin Zhixin also went up to help, and the three of them sat at the dining table, talking and laughing, and started heating the hot pot.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

Yang Yue and Lin Zhixin looked at Xiang Yun at the same time, but there was a puzzled look on Xiang Yun's face. She couldn't remember when she invited a third person.

"Eat first, I'll go and have a look."

Xiang Yun got up and went to open the door.

The birthday star left, so Yang Yue and Lin Zhixin couldn't eat first as Xiang Yun said, so they chatted while waiting for Xiang Yun to come back.

Xiang Yun walked to the foyer and glanced outside the door through the cat's eyes.

A man with a gift box in his left hand, a cake in his right, and a bouquet of flowers in his arms was standing outside the door, waiting for Xiang Yun to open the door.

It's Liang Wenzhi.

Xiang Yun was silent for a moment, feeling a little inexplicable in her heart, but she still opened the door.

Liang Wenzhi came to congratulate him on his own initiative, and she couldn't refuse him.

"Xiang Yun, happy birthday!"

As soon as the door opened, Liang Wenzhi immediately sent a bouquet of flowers.

Xiang Yun showed a decent smile, took the bouquet, nodded and said:

"Thank you, you haven't eaten yet, right? It's just in time. I invited two friends to cook a hot pot for lunch today, so come in and sit down."

Liang Wenzhi came uninvited, and didn't mind that Xiang Yun didn't arrange his seat in advance, so he walked in with his things openly.

"You don't need to change your shoes, just go in."

Xiang Yun didn't expect Liang Wenzhi to come, nor did he plan what he needed.

"It's a shame the floor is so clean."

He said he was embarrassed, but he didn't really feel hypocritical. He stomped his feet on the carpet at the door and walked towards the living room.

"fine."

Xiang Yun closed the door and walked into the living room with Liang Wenzhi. Yang Yue and Lin Zhixin turned their heads to look at the same time. They were not familiar with Liang Wenzhi, so they nodded politely, which was regarded as greeting.

Lin Zhixin met Liang Wenzhi once before, so she knew that Xiang Yun had such a friend, and she was still very familiar with Xiang Yun.Seeing Liang Wenzhi's intentions towards Xiang Yun, she wanted to laugh a little. The conjecture just now was confirmed so quickly.

Xiang Yun is indeed very popular.

But Yang Yue saw Liang Wenzhi for the first time, and when a man's voice came from the hall just now, her heart tightened.

Seeing Liang Wenzhi's appearance and the things in his hands clearly at this time, Yang Yue's sense of crisis was instantly ignited. Although he did not show any disrespectful behavior, his eyes were full of vigilance.

"let me introduce."

Xiang Yun took the initiative to step forward, moved a stool over and placed it on the vacant side of the dining table, and said to Lin Zhixin and Yang Yue at the same time:

"His name is Liang Wenzhi. I am an old friend. We have a very strong relationship. You don't have to restrain yourself."

After finishing speaking, she turned to Yang Yue and said to Liang Wenzhi:

"Yang Yue, my colleague."

Finally, she looked at Lin Zhixin:

"This beauty's surname is Lin."

When introducing Lin Zhixin, she subconsciously omitted Lin Zhixin's name and neighbor relationship that might reveal Lin Zhixin's address and personal privacy.

It was for Lin Zhixin's consideration, or it was for her own selfishness.

Liang Wenzhi greeted the two ladies politely, and sat down on the empty seat opposite Xiang Yun. Xiang Yun took another set of dishes, washed a cup, poured juice and handed it to Liang Wenzhi.

"Today is Sister Yun's birthday. Let me offer a toast to Sister Yun first, and wish Sister Yun a happy birthday! Thank you for taking care of Sister Yun over the past year!"

The ingredients were scalded into the pot, waiting to be boiled, Yang Yue raised his glass first, stood up and said to Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun smiled, and picked up his own cup to touch Yang Yue:

"You work hard and don't cause trouble, that's the best thanks to me."

Yang Yue blushed, Lin Zhixin and Liang Wenzhi couldn't help laughing.

After putting down the juice, Yang Yue took out a small strip-shaped gift box from the bag beside her, and handed it to Xiang Yun with both hands, her face full of anticipation:

"Sister Yun, this is your birthday present, open it and have a look?"

She looks like a kitten begging for rewards.

Xiang Yun took the gift box and opened it in front of Yang Yue. Lin Zhixin and Liang Wenzhi looked at it naturally.

Inside the box is a light and luxurious business-style ladies watch with a silver body and a very design pattern on the dial. It is obviously a carefully selected gift.

Lin Zhixin glanced at Yang Yue's anxious and nervous little face, secretly laughing that the little girl's mind was clearly revealed.

"So precious?"

Xiang Yun was very surprised. This gift was very expensive at first glance, and it was too much of a burden for Yang Yue who had just started working.

She frowned, pursed the corners of her lips, and had a serious expression on her face, which made Yang Yue's heart pounding in fright.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Fortunately, when Xiang Yun spoke, she did not reject Yang Yue in front of the other two. She sighed inwardly and prepared to return the things in private.

But Yang Yue seemed to understand Xiang Yun's plan. She stood up, took out the watch from the box, and quickly removed the protective film:

"Then let me put it on for Sister Yun. Sister Yun has fair skin. This watch will definitely look good on you."

The little girl looked at her with a sly look in her eyes, as if she was saying that Xiang Yun couldn't let her return the product after the film was removed.

She understood Xiang Yun's considerateness and gentleness, and would not scold her when there were many people, so she was proud of being favored.

Xiang Yun was helpless, she missed the opportunity to refuse, and Yang Yue's cleverness exceeded her expectations.

Both Lin Zhixin and Liang Wenzhi looked at her. Her good self-cultivation prevented her from embarrassing others at this time, so she could only follow Yang Yue's wishes, and her birthday should not spoil everyone's interest.

She raised her left wrist as she said, and Yang Yue put the watch on Xiang Yun's hand with a smile.

As Yang Yue thought, this watch really matches Xiang Yun, and Xiang Yun's hands are also good-looking, with slender fingers and well-defined joints, very beautiful, and the wrist watch is the icing on the cake.

"It's really beautiful. Ms. Yang has such a good eye."

Lin Zhixin was careful, and she captured the seriousness that flashed across Xiang Yun's face and the later helplessness. Lin Zhixin, who had also been working for several years, could easily guess Xiang Yun's concerns. To prevent the atmosphere from becoming embarrassing, She took the initiative to smooth things over.

Yang Yue was encouraged and looked at Xiang Yun more firmly.

Now that the matter was over, Xiang Yun couldn't say anything more, he thanked Yang Yue with a smile, and called everyone to have dinner together.

"I have a gift for you too."

Liang Wenzhi, who had been keeping silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and looked up at Xiang Yun. Lin Zhixin and Yang Yue also turned their heads at the same time, and saw Liang Wenzhi handing the gift box that he had just held to Yun:

"Happy birthday!"

Xiang Yun took the box and thanked him, and was about to put the gift aside first, but Liang Wenzhi asked:

"Aren't you going to open it and have a look?"

Facing Liang Wenzhi's and Yang Yue's expectations that were exactly the same, Xiang Yun was a little confused, so she had to unwrap the gift again and found that there was a velvet gift box under the outer packaging, which should be some kind of jewelry.

She opened the lid of the box, and an exquisite bracelet lay quietly in the box. There was a hollow carving in the middle of the bracelet, and the petals spread out in the shape of water droplets. The stamens were inlaid with diamonds.

Yang Yue stared, almost furious, but she managed to control her panic and watched Xiang Yun's reaction nervously.

"Hope you like it."

Liang Wenzhi smiled and spoke softly, but Xiang Yun felt tired for no reason.

She doesn't care about the gift, and it's not that she doesn't understand that no matter how expensive the gift is, it represents the other party's heart, but the more expensive the gift, the more expensive the gift, for ordinary people like them whose family is not rich, the expression of heart often appears heavier.

She could barely accept the watch Yang Yue gave her, but the preciousness of the jewelry Liang Wenzhi brought out, or in other words, the weight of Liang Wenzhi's heart, exceeded Xiang Yun's tolerance, which made her feel tired.

She doesn't want to accept this kind of ambiguity, and she won't accept other people's unusual gifts with peace of mind.

However, Liang Wenzhi knew Xiang Yun well. He didn't harass too much, but always quietly expressed his admiration when he didn't expect it.

He would rather be wasted like this than take the initiative to speak up and give Xiang Yun a chance to reject him.

If you don't tell the truth, you can still deceive yourself and continue to procrastinate in the name of a friend.

If Xiang Yun mentioned it, he insisted that it was not, but it seemed that Xiang Yun was being sentimental.

She didn't accept this gift, nor did she accept it.

They have known each other for so many years, and the friendship of their parents is also there. She can't show her face to Liang Wenzhi willfully.

Xiang Yun kept a decent smile on his face all the time, but he sighed helplessly in his heart. This generous gift can only be exchanged for something else later when he has a chance to give it back.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

She accepted the bracelet, but didn't give Liang Wenzhi a chance to wear it. She put it back in the box and put it aside.

"They all gave you birthday presents, so I have to join in the fun."

Lin Zhixin suddenly spoke at this time, Xiang Yun was both surprised and curious, Lin Zhixin would never give her any weird things.

So much so that when she looked at Lin Zhixin, there was an expectation in her eyes that she didn't even realize.

"But my gift is not that exquisite. Compared with them, it can be said to be very ordinary." Lin Zhixin rarely joked, took out a small palm-sized box from her handbag and handed it to Xiang Yun, "Happy birthday!"

It's really a very ordinary small box, it's the packaging of the gift shop in the shopping mall. Compared with Yang Yue and Liang Wenzhi's careful selection, the one that Lin Zhixin gave seems to be picked up on the side of the road.

Xiang Yun laughed, his eyes gleaming with joy.

Lin Zhixin gave her a gift, which was already an unexpected joy, besides, she only told Lin Zhixin yesterday that today is her birthday, Lin Zhixin prepared in a hurry, so it can't be said that she didn't care.

If it is too expensive, she dare not accept it.

Without hesitation, Xiang Yun opened the small box containing the gift, revealing the items hidden in the box.

It was a keychain, and a small spherical doll, light brown, was hung on it. When he picked it up, he saw that the doll's round face was surrounded by a circle of sunflowers. Xiang Yun recognized it as a little lion.

At the position opposite to the head, a short tail unexpectedly hit Xiang Yun's cute spot.

"Hahaha... this lion is so ugly! Ugly and cute!"

She laughed. There is no doubt that this little lion is the most favorite gift she received today.

Xiang Yun immediately took out his key and put the little lion's keychain on it, it looked really good.

"Thank you, I like it!"

Xiang Yun smiled and said to Lin Zhixin.

She said the same thing three times today, but Lin Zhixin could feel Xiang Yun's heartfelt joy at this moment.

Lin Zhixin had seen the pile of dolls in Xiang Yun's bedroom, and knew that there was a childish soul hidden under Xiang Yun's prudent appearance. She guessed that Xiang Yun might like this kind of small toys.

Xiang Yun's tangled and complicated mood unexpectedly improved because of the little lion gifted by Lin Zhixin. She toasted happily and stood up to express her gratitude to the three people present:

"I'm actually not very good at talking. Thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday and giving me so many presents. I'm a little embarrassed, so let's replace the wine with fruit juice, and I respect you!"

The pot finally boiled, they put down their cups and began to eat, chatting while eating, the atmosphere was lively, and more than half of the ingredients bought by Xiang Yun were consumed, among which Yang Yue ate the most.

After eating the hot pot, everyone's stomachs were full, and the cake was too much to eat. Xiang Yun was too lazy to go through the process, so he proposed to let it go.

Lin Zhixin and Yang Yue helped pack things together, Liang Wenzhi couldn't get into the topic of a few women, and knew that Xiang Yun was actually not happy about the meal at noon today, and he knew the reason well.

After finishing talking, the gift was also given, it would be inappropriate for him to stay here any longer, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.

Xiang Yun didn't keep him, and sent him to the elevator room, and when he got on the elevator, Xiang Yun went back to the room.

Lin Zhixin came out of the kitchen, dried the water on her hands with a paper towel, and said to Xiang Yun:

"Xiang Yun, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't be staying soon, I'll go back first."

Xiang Yun didn't expect that Lin Zhixin would leave too, but Lin Zhixin had something to do and she had no reason to keep her, so she sent Lin Zhixin to the hall:

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your gift. I like this little lion very much."

Lin Zhixin changed her shoes, raised her head, and smiled softly:

"It's nothing special, as long as you like it."

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Lin."

Xiang Yun raised her eyebrows and watched Lin Zhixin leave. After Lin Zhixin opened the door and entered the room, she gently closed the door.

Only Xiang Yun and Yang Yue were left in the room.

Yang Yue was busy in the kitchen, washing all the dishes and chopsticks, Xiang Yun finished delivering Lin Zhixin and came back to clean up the kitchen, but Yang Yue was almost done.

With her back to Xiang Yun, she put the washed dishes into the cupboard, as if she heard Xiang Yun's footsteps coming back, she suggested at the right time:

"Sister Yun, shall we go out to watch a movie in the afternoon? There is a new sci-fi movie that has been released recently, and it is highly rated. I want to watch it, but I don't want to go alone."

Yang Yue's face flushed slightly, she didn't dare to turn her head to look at Xiang Yun, for fear that Xiang Yun would discover her little thoughts.

Xiang Yun was still thinking about how to return the watch to Yang Yue, when he suddenly heard Yang Yue say this, he was no doubt:

"Okay, I don't have any plans for the afternoon."

She took out her mobile phone to check nearby theaters and movie shows, and found the sci-fi movie Yang Yue was talking about. The reviews were indeed good, and it was also a subject that she was interested in.She briefly flipped through it twice, and asked Yang Yue's opinion aloud:

"There will be a show at 3:[-] in the [-]D theater on the third floor of Jinlan Plaza. If you want to go, I will book a ticket?"

Yang Yue was so happy that she couldn't restrain the corners of her mouth from rising, and she didn't want to be seen by Xiang Yun, so she had to continue to turn her back to Xiang Yun, find something to do, and replied as calmly as possible while showing a little joy:

"it is good!"

The matter of watching the movie was settled so easily and happily, Xiang Yun bought a ticket, and when the time was almost up, he went out with Yang Yue.

They picked up the tickets at the counter, bought two more popcorn and iced Coke, checked the tickets and went to the designated screening hall.

Yang Yue was very happy along the way, pulling Xiang Yun to chat, and Xiang Yun responded one after another.

The movie started on time, and Xiang Yun was completely absorbed in the plot, unaware of Yang Yue's eyes from time to time beside him.

It was close to five o'clock when the show ended, and Xiang Yun suggested to leave after dinner. Yang Yue readily accepted the invitation, and the two chose a clean restaurant in Jinlan Plaza for dinner.

After dinner, Xiang Yun sent Yang Yue to the bus station, and the two walked one after the other, chatting about the plot of the movie they just watched.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short. Although it is approaching seven o'clock, the sky has not yet completely darkened, showing a kind of grayish white.

Seeing that the bus stop was approaching, but only about a hundred meters away, Xiang Yun and Yang Yue said at the same time:

"Sister Yun."

"Xiaoyue."

Yang Yue turned around, put her hands behind her back, two steps away from Xiang Yun, and said with a smile:

"Sister Yun, you go first."

Xiang Yun hesitated for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, raised his wrist to reveal the watch Yang Yue gave him:

"This gift from you is too expensive, I can't take it."

The smile on Yang Yue's face faded, her gaze was overshadowed by loss, she raised her face and asked:

"why?"

"Xiaoyue, you just worked for a year..."

Xiang Yun tried to persuade Yang Yue.

But Yang Yue interrupted her:

"Sister Yun, this is my wish."

"I know, but..."

Xiang Yun frowned.

"No, sister Yun, you don't know."

Yang Yue interrupted Xiang Yun again.

Xiang Yun showed doubts and thought carefully about the meaning of Yang Yue's words, but she couldn't figure it out.

Yang Yue took a deep breath, as if to cheer herself up, and then took a big step towards Yun, shortening the distance between them to one step away.

She was petite and a head shorter than Xiang Yun. In this position, she had to raise her head to look at Xiang Yun.

"Sister Yun, do you hate homosexuality?"

There were not many pedestrians on the street, Yang Yue looked into Xiang Yun's eyes seriously and hit a straight ball.

The topic jumped too fast, and the two sentences seemed to have no connection.

But Yang Yue's words dazzled Xiang Yun, brought back some bad memories, and made her realize that something was wrong.She pursed her lips silently, subconsciously clenched her right hand in her trouser pocket into a fist to relieve her nervousness.

She lowered her eyes to think, she couldn't give an answer casually, and she didn't notice Yang Yue's red ears after she said this.

"it's OK."

Bad premonitions began to clamor, and her inner fear shook her reason, but she knew that she could not lie.

Xiang Yun bit his lip, kept as calm as possible, and answered as usual.

Yang Yue seemed to be pretending to be a frisky deer in her heart, beating non-stop, her heartbeat was deafening, which made her more and more nervous, so that she lowered her head halfway while waiting for Xiang Yun's answer, and didn't see Xiang Yunyu Pale lips.

"In that case, I have something to tell you."

Hearing Xiang Yun's calm voice, Yang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she closed her eyes and exhausted all her courage to speak:

"Sister Yun, I like you, not between colleagues, nor among friends, but for you.
