Chapter 37: Can we still be friends?
Xu Cheng didn't try to comfort Lin Wanzhou. Lin Wanzhou felt wronged, and he was still angry. He got so angry at him for no reason.
Going into the kitchen, Xu Cheng asked He Ying curiously.
"Mom, why did Lin Wanzhou come to our house?"
He Ying was busy frying the hairtail in the pan. "Oh, I just happened to run into her and her mother on my way back. She came back with me after hearing that we were having a big dinner tonight."
"As expected of her." Xu Cheng understood. The delicious food was something that Lin Wanzhou, a little foodie, could never refuse.
He Ying shouted into the living room, "Kids, do you want sweet and sour shrimp or garlic vermicelli shrimp tonight?"
Xu Cheng leaned against the wall of the kitchen. Knowing that no one would answer, he simply made the choice for them, "Garlic vermicelli shrimp."
"Okay." He Ying nodded, worked for a while, and then said, "Xu Cheng, go ask Wan Zhou whether she wants to eat steamed crab or spicy fried crab."
"Mom, you forgot that Lin Wanzhou is allergic to crabs."
He Ying slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, that girl got a rash on her body after eating crabs. I'll make chicken legs for her. She loves chicken legs."
Xu Cheng took a look at the kitchen chopping board and found that there were a lot of things, including fresh and plump prawns, crabs struggling to climb out of the sink with ropes, and chicken legs soaked in shaken egg whites...
"Mom? It's not New Year yet, why are you making it so grand? What's the good day today?"
"Hmph, guess."
Xu Cheng thought of something and said in surprise, "Could it be that you got a promotion, mom?"
"If you guessed it right, I'll give you a piece of hairtail as a reward."
He Ying picked up a piece of hairtail with chopsticks and stuffed it into Xu Cheng's mouth. Xu Cheng gasped for air due to the heat. The hairtail was fried till crispy and had a salty and fragrant taste.
Xu Cheng held the hairtail in his teeth and asked excitedly, "Mom, tell me quickly, where is Sheng?"
"Ask, ask, ask, you don't understand..." Although he grumbled, He Ying still said with a little pride, "This time I was transferred to the administrative office as deputy director."
Xu Cheng was very excited. "Office? That's great. Although it's busy, you can get promoted quickly!"
"What do you know, kid? Go away, stop making trouble here and go play outside."
"How can you not understand? No one knows everything better than me!"
Xu Cheng was driven out of the kitchen amid He Ying's disdain, but he felt happy from the bottom of his heart. His mother was just in her early thirties, and she had already risen to the deputy section level through her own efforts. This time she was going to a core department like the office. Her future was limitless!
Xu Jianghe was sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper. When he saw Xu Cheng coming over, he teased him, "Playboy, what's wrong? Did you have a conflict with your girlfriend?"
Xu Cheng gave him a look of disdain, "Dad, can you please work harder? If you keep giving up like this, you will be unworthy of Mom and me. Then I will have to let you be my biological father."
"What do you mean by 'bad biological father'? Where did you learn these weird words?" Xu Jianghe's face turned red with anger, and he tapped the table with his fingers. "How do you talk to your father like that?"
"cut."
Xu Cheng returned to the living room with a look of disdain and continued watching TV with Yu Yu.
Xu Jianghe wiped his forehead sadly. Could it be that the son who opened his arms and asked for a hug at the kindergarten gate has gone with the wind?
This episode of Cat's Eye Sisters is very romantic. The hero ruined the heroine's birthday party because he was catching bad guys. In the end, he called and gave her a belated birthday gift.
A piece of text made up of skyscraper lights: Love Tiger Oil.
Although this routine was later widely used and became clichéd, this plot is still novel, shocking and heartwarming today, and Yu Yu was so moved that his eyes were red.
The name of this episode is, A Belated Birthday Gift.
As he was looking at it, Xu Cheng suddenly recalled an old memory. One time, He Ying and Gao Manman went out shopping together, and he and Lin Wanzhou followed them. Lin Wanzhou asked him if there was anything he liked. Xu Cheng said no, but at that time he held a piece of clothing and looked at it for a long time.
Later, on his birthday, he received the clothes. It was a birthday gift from Lin Wanzhou.
In fact, he didn't like it. He just thought the label of the clothes was strange, so he looked at it carefully for a while. However, Lin Wanzhou mistakenly thought that he liked it and kept this small detail in mind.
"What an idiot...", he couldn't help but complain.
"Eh?" Xu Cheng suddenly had an idea. "No way, that dress could be..."
He looked at Yu Yu suddenly, and the sudden gaze scared Yu Yu.
Did he hear me secretly saying that he was fierce?
Of course Xu Cheng didn't know what Yu Yu was thinking, but he suddenly understood why Lin Wanzhou was so angry.
“No wonder…”
Xu Cheng couldn't help but knock his head, "Ah, I'm the idiot."
If you just give away the birthday gift that Lin Wanzhou carefully prepared to someone else to wear, any girl would feel sad!
He Ying came to the living room wearing an apron. "Children, come and eat. Hey, where's the evening porridge?"
Yu Yu blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes, looked at He Ying, and then at Xu Cheng.
Aunt He is not going to ask me again... should I tell her?
But if I tell Aunt He that Xu Cheng made Lin Wanzhou cry, will Xu Cheng be angry? If I don't tell Aunt He, will Aunt He be angry? And...
I want to die!
Before Yu Yu's CPU burned out, Xu Cheng said to He Ying, "Zhou Zhou feels very sleepy and has gone to sleep in my room. I'll go call her."
Hearing his words, Yu Yu pursed her lips, and a gleam of light flashed in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Liar!
Unfortunately, she didn't dare to expose it.
Xu Cheng took a deep breath and pushed open the bedroom door.
There was no light in the room and it was dark. He closed the door and pressed the switch.
His eyes suddenly brightened, and he saw Lin Wanzhou lying on his little bed with his head buried in his quilt, with only his little butt sticking out.
"Lin Wanzhou." Xu Cheng called out.
Lin Wanzhou showed her little face from under the quilt. Her whole face was red, her hair was messy , and the little bear on her chest was wrinkled. It seemed that her expression had changed from smiling to sad.
She rubbed her red eyes, like a child who had done something wrong, lowered her head and walked in front of Xu Cheng, and spoke softly.
"Xu Cheng, I know I was wrong. I lose my temper just like my mom, and you must be as sad as my dad. Let me tell you a story..."
"There was a little duck or something... I forgot how it started, but the ending was "I'm sorry."
"Uh..." Xu Cheng was speechless for a moment as he looked at her serious expression. He had originally planned to come over and apologize, but after hearing what Lin Wanzhou said, he was a little bit at a loss.
The room suddenly became quiet.
"Gurgle~"
The strange sound broke the silence between the two people at the right time.
Lin Wanzhou shyly covered her bloated stomach and said, "I'm just a little hungry..."
"Um...the little bear on your clothes is very cute." Xu Cheng suddenly changed the subject.
"Can I buy it a meal?"
"Huh?" Lin Wanzhou looked at him in confusion.
Xu Cheng blushed slightly and coughed twice, "I mean, you can also come by..."
"whee."
It took Lin Wanzhou a long time to react, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Then, Xu Cheng, can we still be friends after our quarrel?" She pulled the corner of Xu Cheng's clothes with hope in her eyes.
"No way, I don't really want to be friends with you." Xu Cheng said lightly.
"Is it really not working?"
Lin Wanzhou was about to cry and lowered her head in disappointment, but she heard Xu Cheng continue to say, "Friends come and go in your life, so I don't want to be your friend, let's be..."
"What to do?" Lin Wanzhou looked at Xu Cheng expectantly.
"you guess."
"Tell me!"
Lin Wanzhou chased after him.
