Pick up a husband and join hands in the future life

Chapter 122 Birthday Party

While waiting for the food to be served, the small group organized by Qi Yuanyi was talking frantically.

"Work is driving me crazy: Yuanyi, can't you think of a way to pay for it? Our gifts are hidden in the trunk, how are we going to get them out?"

Liu Ke's nickname strongly expresses the pain of workers and his deep concern for his own future.

Cheng Cheng's boyfriend: Yes, yes!

＜Yangyang's other partner: +1＞

Looking at these two names, you can tell that they must have been chosen by Li Shiyang, and the intention to show affection is very obvious.

＜Great wisdom appears foolish: Brother, what gift did you prepare?＞

The stupid Zhao Yuanzhi always fails to grasp the key points, but this name does prove it at certain times.

＜Xiao Si: The gift I prepared is also in the car… be careful and raise your hand.jpg＞

Dongdong doesn't like winter: Brother Yuanyi, hurry up and show off your skills in fooling fans and trick Brother Qingxiu away first. We're all counting on you! Husky's wise eyes.jpg

Yang Siyu and Shi Dong are more active online, and they are obviously level 10 surfing enthusiasts.

Qi Ritian: Come on!

＜Su Muxin: Awesome!＞

Such a concise and clear nickname will be admired by everyone who sees it. They are like an old couple, so well-matched.

……

Seeing the messages flooding the screen one after another, Qi Yuanyi felt his eyes were about to get dizzy, and he could only speak out to stop them.

Xiao Qi, trying to lie flat, said: Stop, I'll find a way. Don't you think the atmosphere is too quiet? You're all ignoring Axiu!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone secretly glanced at Lin Qingxiu who was staring at the phone in a daze, exited the page and locked the screen, and then exchanged glances with each other.

Glancing at everyone's faces with different expressions, Qi Yuanyi felt that it would be better for him not to remind them.

"Axiu, you can't drink and drive. We didn't order any drinks. How about going out and getting some milk tea? I think I saw a milk tea shop nearby."

Lin Qingxiu perked up after being brought back to life by Qi Yuanyi's questioning voice. He had just been thinking about his birthdays in previous years and his relatives who were far away in another world, and he felt a little dazed.

Noticing everyone's secretly concerned gazes, Lin Qingxiu felt very warm in his heart and couldn't help but put on a sincere smile.

"Okay, tell me what you want to drink, it's my treat!"

He hadn't spent much of the money he had earned from making round fans for Han Zhi and others, and since it was his birthday, his elders gave him red envelopes, so he didn't feel bad at all about spending it.

Seeing that he had regained his previous cheerful self, everyone praised him for his generosity.

This posture made Lin Qingxiu blush repeatedly. When she walked out of the box, the pink on her ears had not faded. Her youthful and cute appearance caught Qi Yuanyi's gaze.

After walking out of the restaurant, Qi Yuanyi looked around and noticed that there was no one around. He suddenly tapped Lin Qingxiu on the forehead so quickly that Lin Qingxiu didn't even have time to react.

"My dear, do you miss your family?"

A gentle and pleasant voice surrounded her ears. Lin Qingxiu pursed her lips slightly, and the corners of her eyes turned red in an instant. Tears wet her eyelashes, and they were about to fall.

It obviously brought up his sad memories. Qi Yuanyi felt a little regretful and distressed. He held up his cheek lovingly and gently wiped away his tears with his thumb.

"Don't cry, dear. Maybe we can see them again on next year's birthday. You have to have faith in yourself and me."

Lin Qingxiu nodded firmly, "Well, I believe you. When the time comes, I will take you to meet my father and the others. They will definitely like you!"

"You are so confident in me. I will definitely perform well and try to make your family like me."

Qi Yuanyi was a little distracted while trying to coax the good person. He thought of his departed parents and grandparents. They should have been reunited by now. He wondered if they were doing well?

In just a few seconds, he concealed his previous emotions without leaving a trace, and took Lin Qingxiu's hand to walk towards the nearby milk tea shop.

Little did he know that Lin Qingxiu had already understood what he was thinking the moment he showed her a nostalgic look, but he did not say anything, just silently waiting for him to come back to his senses.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qi Yuanyi to adjust himself, and he finally felt relieved.

*

In the box, after Qi Yuanyi and Lin Qingxiu left, they secretly observed them until they found that they went to the milk tea shop, and then they went their separate ways.

One group, led by Qi Hao, went to a nearby cake shop that had been booked long ago to pick up cakes; another group, led by Liu Ke, went to the car to get gifts.

There were two girls left, Yang Siyu was waiting for the food in the private room, and Shi Dong was watching at the restaurant door.

As for Xiao Ba, he followed Qi Yuanyi and the others happily after they left, and insisted on sticking to them.

Although its presence is too low, I can only watch them show their affection with a tiring heart.

A surprise operation was launched in full swing. Lin Qingxiu in the milk tea shop had no idea about it and was carefully giving everyone their favorite drinks.

Other customers in the restaurant witnessed the process of everyone delivering gifts, and they all gave their blessings with smiles and considerately kept the secret.

In short, when Lin Qingxiu and Qi Yuanyi came back with their hands full of milk tea, everyone pretended nothing had happened and watched them enter the box.

Just two minutes before Lin Qingxiu, Shi Dong calmed his rapid breathing caused by running and signaled everyone to take their seats.

"People are almost here. Have you hidden your things? Come sit down!"

The gifts and cakes were hurriedly pushed under the innermost chairs, and everyone sat down safely, waiting for their arrival.

Fortunately, the table was large and covered with a tablecloth, as were the chairs. Otherwise, in such a private room, there would be no place to hide anything.

Following Lin Qingxiu into the room one after another, Qi Yuanyi saw that everyone was sitting upright and his scalp tingled. Are they trying to hide something because they are afraid that no one will notice?

"Come and get some milk tea, why are you just sitting there?"

The few people who knew him quickly understood what he meant. Those who washed the dishes washed the dishes, and those who distributed milk tea distributed milk tea. The atmosphere suddenly became natural.

Everyone received their own milk tea and did not forget to thank Lin Qingxiu.

The food had not been delivered yet. In order to avoid being bored, Li Shiyang led Zhao Yuanzhi to liven up the atmosphere. They were indeed the happy pills in this group of people.

"Since the food hasn't arrived yet, how about we play a simple game?"

"Yeah, it's boring to stay like this anyway."

It was indeed a bit unbearable to sit and wait for the food to be served while holding the milk tea, so everyone reluctantly agreed.

"Then what do you want to play? It won't be Truth or Dare again?" Qi Yuanyi glanced at the two stunned people and sighed at his intuition.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanzhi clapped his hands and insisted on bringing up a new game.

"This game is called 'XX Inside XX'. Have you heard of it? We loved playing it at college parties!"

Yang Siyu and Shi Dong had obviously played it before and nodded in agreement. Qi Yuanyi and the others also knew about similar games. Only Lin Qingxiu had never heard of it and asked about the rules curiously.

Zhao Yuanzhi enthusiastically explained: "For example, if the question is 'What's in the zoo?' then everyone should answer things that are in the zoo, such as pandas."

Qi Yuanyi added, "Answer them one by one in order. How about we try a round first?"

With everyone's consent, Zhao Yuanzhi started the game. He muttered rapidly, "What's in the bedroom? A quilt!"

Then he turned his gaze to Yang Siyu on his right, motioning her to answer.

"Pillow", "Desk", "Wardrobe", "Clothes", "Bed Sheets"...

Everyone spoke out their answers one by one, and finally it was Lin Qingxiu's turn. He had already thought of the word and excitedly answered: "Computer!"

Then he looked at Qi Yuanyi happily, and his expression of secret joy was particularly vivid.

Without pausing, Qi Yuanyi immediately said the answer - chair. The game continued and this question went around several times, finally ending with Liu Ke's failure. He was punished by singing a song.

His tune-deaf singing made everyone dizzy, and Qi Yuanyi and the other three couldn't help but tease him, saying that his singing was more powerful than when he was in college.

We played a few more times afterwards, and several people lost, and each of them performed their talents.

The entire box was filled with laughter, especially Lin Qingxiu, who was laughing very happily, with no trace of the lost look he had when he was in a daze before.

This made Qi Hao and others sigh: It has to be Zhao Yuanzhi and Li Shiyang, e-people are really powerful!

Only after the ordered dishes were delivered one after another did Qi Yuanyi suggest ending the game. Seeing that most of the dishes were already on the table, he directly announced that the meal was ready.

"We're tired after a day of fun. Come eat, everyone. The food is still hot and delicious."

As he spoke, he also picked up some food for Lin Qingxiu. Soon, Lin Qingxiu's bowl was filled with various dishes.

This restaurant was introduced by Han Cheng. It is said that the Han family likes to dine here when they come to Shanghai. The price is not expensive, but the taste is good.

The braised pork is fatty but not greasy, the pickled fish is appetizing and goes well with rice, the beef brisket with tomatoes is tender and juicy, the spicy shrimp is chewy, and the pork ribs with preserved plums are sweet and sour...

Each dish had its own unique characteristics, and for a while, everyone was so engrossed in the food that they couldn't even lift their heads.

When they were about half full, they slowed down and started chatting about the strange anecdotes they had heard.

Among them, Li Shiyang talked the most. It was because he "married into a wealthy family" that there were a lot of messy things in the circle.

For example, someone's stepmother and stepson are having an affair, someone's mistress and the wife's children are swapped, someone's illegitimate son marries his illegitimate daughter...

A series of melodramatic events have emerged one after another, and it is true that art comes from life.

Lin Qingxiu and the others listened with great interest, which was even more addictive than watching TV dramas.

It was rare for someone to listen to his complaints, and Li Shiyang was so excited that he almost stood up to perform.

They were gossiping here, while Qi Yuanyi and others were talking about Han He's health center. There was nothing they could do, the business was getting bigger and bigger, and they were all worried.

Only after hearing what Han Cheng revealed did he feel relieved. No matter what, the Han family was not someone that ordinary people dared to offend.

Their family's status is very stable. In addition, they have no troubles and no one dares to do anything illegal, so there is naturally no need to worry too much.

Glancing at Han Cheng resentfully, Qi Yuanyi really wanted to ask him if he remembered what he had said before about discussing with Han's father and others. He felt very uncomfortable thinking about it all the time.

Seeing him like this, Han Cheng knew what he was thinking. He pretended not to see it and concentrated on eating.

……

Before we knew it, time passed and the dishes on the table gradually became empty.

In order to prepare the birthday cake after the meal, Qi Yuanyi carefully calculated the portions when ordering the dishes to ensure that everyone could still have a small piece after finishing the meal.

Now that the meal is almost over, it's time to take out the cake.

Covering Lin Qingxiu's eyes with one hand, Qi Yuanyi used his other hand to signal everyone to clear the table and place the birthday cake.

Although he vaguely understood something, Lin Qingxiu still cooperated and remained in this position.

After simple and quick preparations, Qi Hao temporarily turned off the lights, lit the candles, and everyone sang the birthday song together.

A cheerful song sounded and Qi Yuanyi let go of his hand.

The warm yellow candlelight reflected in Lin Qingxiu's eyes, and her heart beat faster. She subconsciously glanced at Qi Yuanyi beside her, and only smiled when she got the other party's nod.

Looking around at the people who were celebrating for him, he felt extremely happy. He didn't have so many friends before.

Lin Qingxiu closed her eyes and made a wish. First, she wished that her relatives and friends would be healthy and everything would go well for them. Second, she wished that she and Qi Yuanyi would be together forever.

After the wish was fulfilled, the lights were turned back on, and Lin Qingxiu was able to carefully observe the appearance of the cake.

Since there were so many people, the cake was ordered to be large. It had a fresh light green appearance, surrounded by cute rose cream flowers, two rich fruits on top, and a cute Samoyed in the middle.

Not only Lin Qingxiu thought it looked good, everyone thought it was pretty good.

When Xiao Ba saw the cake, he jumped up and down on the table, his ears moving as if it was his birthday party.

In fact, when we ordered the cake, we didn’t think too much about it. We just thought that the cakes used to make dolls were usually made of fondant, which didn’t seem to be particularly delicious.

It just so happened that the cake shop owner was good at making Samoyeds, so he chose this one.

As it turned out, the results were indeed good. Lin Qingxiu's first reaction was to take out his mobile phone to take a picture, and the others followed suit.

It was also after noticing Xiao Ba's happiness that Qi Yuanyi and Lin Qingxiu realized that the system seemed to have no birthday, so they tacitly made a decision to celebrate Xiao Ba's birthday in the future.

After taking the photos, Lin Qingxiu distributed the cake to everyone. His cautious posture made everyone hold their breath involuntarily until they caught it.

After getting the cake, the others took turns taking out their birthday presents for him and placed them in front of him.

Lin Qingxiu accepted the gifts with surprise and thanked everyone. She could no longer control the corners of her mouth, and even her hair was full of energy.

Holding the gifts everyone had given her, Lin Qingxiu stared at Qi Yuanyi expectantly, "Ayi, where's my birthday present? Aren't you going to give it to me?"

Li Shiyang and others also looked over curiously, waiting for Qi Yuanyi to take out something.

Helping Lin Qingxiu hold the gift that she couldn't carry, Qi Yuanyi was reluctant to reveal it for the time being. "I've put the gift I prepared in the villa. I'll give it to you when I get back."

Lin Qingxiu narrowed his eyes and smiled, nodding vigorously, his whole body emitting a joyful aura.

"Then I'll wait for you. You must remember this, don't forget!"

Qi Yuanyi rubbed Lin Qingxiu's soft face and smiled brightly, "Don't worry, even if I forget other things, I won't forget this. Just eat the cake obediently."

Everyone couldn't bear to see them being so affectionate, so they just chatted and laughed while eating the cakes in their hands.

After finishing the cake and paying the bill, the day's activities officially ended. For Lin Qingxiu, it was a fulfilling and interesting birthday.
