Chapter 133: Remember to make a wish
Dinner was not ready until the sun went down.
Jiang Xiyue sat at the dining table with her hair casually tied up and draped over her shoulders. Her collarbone under her suspender nightgown rose and fell slightly with the rhythm of her breathing.
There were candles lit on the dining table, and the flickering light made the girl's cheeks red.
Looking at Linzhou standing there preparing corn soup, Jiang Xiyue's eyes flickered slightly.
This kind of life is pretty good.
Lin Zhou, who was making soup, turned off the gas to a low fire, walked behind Jiang Xiyue, and put his paw on the other's shoulder.
The unsuspecting girl shuddered and looked up at Linzhou with surprise.
"Congee..."
"You play yours, I'll come over to take a look." Linzhou had a gentle smile on his face and gently rubbed the girl's hair.
Hearing this reminder, Jiang Xiyue pouted slightly and squeezed her legs tighter under the table.
But this time, the girl didn't lower her head to look at her phone. She simply put her head against Linzhou's chest and complained in a low voice, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"What chance?"
Linzhou was a little confused. Why was this child acting so weird? Would celebrating birthdays make people stupid?
Looking at Lin Zhou, whose expression remained unchanged, Jiang Xiyue smiled brightly, "I won't tell you. There are many things that you can only wait for next time if you miss them."
"I hope there will be a next time. I can always wait for you."
After answering Jiang Xiyue seriously, Linzhou ran to the gas stove, scooped out the corn kernels from the soup with a spoon, put them in his mouth and chewed them.
It is soft, sweet and ready to be served.
After placing the prepared soup bowl in the middle of the dining table, Linzhou sat opposite Jiang Xiyue.
"Happy birthday Yueyue!"
"Well, Zhou Zhou, you should be happy too." Jiang Xiyue nodded slightly, then picked up the cake from the ground beside her, put candles on it, and looked at Linzhou expectantly.
Understanding Jiang Xiyue's meaning, Linzhou stood up, found a lighter and lit the candle.
The flame floated up and down with the air in the room. Jiang Xiyue stared at the center of the candle, took a deep breath, and was about to blow it out.
However, just as his cheeks puffed up, Linzhou's big hand held his mouth.
"No, you have to make a wish first."
“Well… okay…”
After saying this, Jiang Xiyue bit her lip and thought seriously about her birthday wish.
However, she doesn't have many wishes. Everything she expects can be realized, and what she likes can be obtained immediately. Everything goes well and safely.
Wishes are not something precious to this girl.
Looking at Linzhou's face, the girl thought for a long time. After a small amount of the candle was burned, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and muttered something.
Although he didn't know what Jiang Xiyue was talking about, Linzhou also hoped that the little girl's wish would come true.
After a few seconds, the girl opened her eyes, aimed at the candle, and blew hard.
All the candles on the cake went out. Jiang Xiyue clapped her hands happily and picked up the chopsticks beside her. "Let's eat! I'm starving!"
"Wait, this is a birthday present..." Linzhou took out a beautifully packaged small box and handed it to Jiang Xiyue.
The girl didn't think much about the small and slightly narrow gift box. She just put it aside and looked at Linzhou eagerly.
"Zhou Zhou, can we eat now? The food will get cold soon!"
After Linzhou nodded slightly, Jiang Xiyue stared at the boiled fish that looked delicious and picked up her chopsticks.
Linzhou, who was sitting opposite, looked at the girl and drank half a glass of red wine in one gulp.
For a birthday, there's no need for a grand ceremony. This warm feeling is what he likes the most. Candlelight dinners are also very romantic.
Lin Zhou, who was daydreaming, suddenly saw the soup splashing from the food Jiang Xiyue was eating, and the warm atmosphere was gone in an instant.
Linzhou stood up and took the apron from the hook, walked behind the girl and helped her put it on carefully.
"Stupid, your nightgown is made of silk and gauze. It's hard to wash if it gets dirty."
"Hmm..." The girl looked at Lin Zhou who was squatting there and helping her put the apron on her legs. She slowly reached out her hand and touched his messy hair. "Thank you Zhou Zhou."
………
If someone had touched his head, Linzhou would have punched him right now.
But when this guy touched my head, I didn't feel that way at all. My body's defense system had completely failed.
After putting on the apron, Linzhou returned to his seat and filled the goblet.
Today's dishes are much richer than the previous few days. Usually there are four dishes and one soup, but today there are six dishes plus corn soup. However, the portions are not large and two people can finish them in one meal.
As for the cake, it can only be used as a midnight snack. After all, it was made by Jiang Xiyue herself and it looks delicious.
After taking a few bites of the food, the girl raised her glass.
"Cheers Zhou Zhou, thank you for spending my birthday with me..."
"You're welcome. I think I promised to sing you a happy birthday song. It'll be a while." Linzhou also raised his glass and clinked it with Jiang Xiyue.
Then there was a deep gulp of emotion.
After seeing this situation, Linzhou decided to give a reminder.
"Yueyue, drink the red wine slowly, it has a strong aftereffect. Be careful not to drink too much or you'll cry in front of me."
"I won't cry." Jiang Xiyue complained while filling her own cup. In less than three seconds, she emptied it.
…
Half an hour later, Lin Zhou looked at Jiang Xiyue, whose face was flushed, and felt somewhat helpless. The little girl was happy today, so he didn't care much about her. Now she must be upset...
But the drunk Jiang Xiyue was very well-behaved. She took out a kazoo from somewhere and played a strange tune of Happy Birthday to herself.
Linzhou also cooperated and sang along.
Although he is a little tone-deaf, he still sings well in tune when it comes to songs like Happy Birthday.
The girl's eyes gradually narrowed, and she simply sat next to Linzhou, not making any noise. She just sat there quietly in a daze, and her eyes were obviously not as bright as usual.
After sitting quietly for a while, Jiang Xiyue turned around.
"Hmm... Zhou Zhou... Can you help me taste what this drink tastes like? I can't taste it..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Xiyue picked up the drink, took a sip, moved in front of Linzhou, tilted her head back, and closed her eyes.
Looking at the girl's slightly trembling eyelashes, Linzhou reached out and tapped the little girl on the head.
"Come on, this is what you do when you're drunk, right?"
“I’m not making trouble!” The girl opened her eyes and hugged Linzhou’s neck directly, trying to get close to him…
Knowing that the man was drunk, Linzhou did not give in to him. Instead, he pressed his forehead against his own, cleverly maintaining a safe distance.
"Yueyue, what is 31584 plus 25488?"
