The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Chapter 222: No one believed the surprise celebration of cooking

The two were silent as the night deepened.

The next day, the sky was clear. When Xie Xuan woke up, he felt a headache. He staggered to the bathroom. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he saw Yi Shou holding a bag of takeout and preparing to open it.

Then, he watched helplessly as Ikari put the opened takeaway back into the pot and stir-fried it.

"?" Xie Xuan'an was stunned on the spot.

Ikari noticed him right after he finished loading the dishes, but he didn't seem to care at all about being discovered.

"What are you doing?" Xie Xuan asked.

"Cooking." Ikari replied calmly.

“???” Xie Xuan’an was confused.

A meal cooked with takeout?

Ikari didn't explain and placed the cooked dishes on the dining table.

"Xuan, come and have something to eat."

"..."Xie Xuan'an was silent.

After a while, the two of them were eating at the dining table.

Even though he didn't seem to be planning on chatting, I could still feel a sense of warmth.

"By the way, how did I get back yesterday?" Xie Xuan'an asked while eating. He remembered that he fell asleep inexplicably yesterday. The feeling was a bit strange. With his vigilance, this shouldn't have happened.

"...yesterday..."

"? What's wrong?" Xie Xuan asked.

"Do not you remember?"

"if not?"

"..."

After Yi Shou finished his meal, he glanced at Xie Xuan'an who was eating.

"When I went to see you yesterday, I found that Shao Liechuan wanted to kiss you forcefully, but I stopped him."

"Puff." Xie Xuan'an almost spit out a mouthful of rice.

What the hell? Is this true?

Ikari continued to eat calmly and said:

"Because you were drunk, I took you home anyway."

"......" Xie Xuan'an swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Don't you feel something is wrong?"

"No ah."

"Don't you feel that there is anything wrong with Shao Liechuan?"

"...No."

After adjusting his mood, Xie Xuan'an began to think.

In fact, compared to Shao Liechuan's suspiciousness, he felt that Yi Shou had bad intentions.

But neither of them is a good person, so Xie Xuan'an will never favor either side.

What Yi Shou said was like an abrupt stumbling block, which always made Xie Xuan'an feel uncomfortable.

Not sure if it's true or not, but...

Xie Xuan'an has come to the company to work.

Today, he arrived at his workstation on time and worked diligently as usual.

He could feel that there were obviously fewer people talking about him today, and the way they looked at him was more fearful. Xie Xuan'an didn't know who was responsible for this.

But fortunately I don’t care.

I didn't see Shao Liechuan in the company all day today.

The sky outside the company gradually turned into dusk.

As the workday was about to end, Xie Xuan'an put down the report in his hand and looked at his mobile phone.

There were several text messages on it, and the one that concerned him was the message from Shao Liechuan.

He hesitated for a moment and clicked on it:

'Xie Xuan'an, have dinner with me tonight.'

'It's my treat.'

'You must not refuse.'

Xie Xuan'an rubbed his eyebrows, wondering why he was so annoyed.

"I'll think about it," Xie Xuanan replied.

But the other party replied immediately.

'I'll wait for you at the door after get off work.'

After reading the message, Xie Xuan'an was silent for a moment and then turned off his phone.

This tone is obviously forced, right?

He had also encountered such things as coercion, such as Ikari...

If they continued to pester him like this, Xie Xuan felt that he would not be able to control himself and would kill them.

While thinking about these things, Xie Xuan'an had already packed up and was ready to go home.

The atmosphere in the company has been a little strange today.

When people around him saw him leaving get off work on time, they gasped again.

Especially female employees.

Now Xie Xuan'an is famous in the company.

Now I still get off work on time, what does this mean?

Could it be that Xie Xuan'an has really conquered their king?

When he walked out of the door, he saw Shao Liechuan standing there, wearing a straight black suit that was coated with a layer of mysterious glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Xie Xuan'an looked at him, frowned slightly, but finally walked towards him.

When Shao Liechuan saw him, there was some joy in his eyes.

After Xie Xuan stood in front of him.

"What do you want to eat?" Shao Liechuan said in a gentle voice.

"It's up to you to decide."

"Okay, let's go."

Xie Xuanan thought he would drive, but he walked instead. However, the distance to the hotel was indeed too short, and Xie Xuanan watched him walk.

“It’s too ostentatious to drive.”

"..."

Xie Xuan'an said nothing, and quietly followed Shao Liechuan on the crowded street.

It was fine for Xie Xuan'an to wear casual clothes, but Shao Liechuan was wearing a suit, so he looked a little restrained.

Looking at the expensive watch he was wearing, the exquisite leather shoes on his feet and the hair gel, he looked very serious.

Along the way, many people turned back frequently, not only because of the inexplicable strange temperament of the two people, but also because of the big contrast in their images.

Xie Xuan'an had a blank expression on his face, but was dressed casually, while Shao Liechuan's face would occasionally show a faint smile, but he was dressed solemnly.

Soon, they arrived at a quiet restaurant.

This restaurant is decorated in a European style. It is filled with an elegant and romantic atmosphere, and there is beautiful violin performance. It looks quite high-end.

But as soon as he entered the door, Xie Xuan'an noticed something was wrong here.

The whole store was deserted, with no customers except the clerk.

All eyes around were focused on him and Shao Liechuan.

The atmosphere was awkward and weird, with an indescribable weirdness.

After Xie Xuanan noticed this, he asked Shao Liechuan:

"Why come here?"

But the other party didn't seem to realize that the atmosphere was wrong, and smiled:

"I found this specially. It tastes great. You can try it."

After picking a seat and sitting down.

Xie Xuan'an glanced at the menu and saw that the prices were very high.

Shao Liechuan didn't say anything. He just lowered his head to look at his phone, and no one knew what he was doing.

But the atmosphere still became very silent.

"Thank you." Xie Xuan'an thanked first.

"Don't feel any pressure, it's okay." Shao Liechuan smiled.

After saying this, the two fell into awkward silence again.

The atmosphere remained like this until a waiter came over with a menu.

After Xie Xuan'an finished ordering, he gave the menu to Shao Liechuan.

Shao Liechuan said as he browsed the menu:

"You know what? This is actually the first time I've ever treated anyone to a meal."

After saying this, he raised his head and smiled at Xie Xuan'an.

But the guilt behind the smile was easily caught by Xie Xuan'an.

Xie Xuanan paused and said calmly:

"Is that so?" But I didn't believe it at all.

The waiter took the menu away.

Xie Xuanan took a sip of his drink and asked Shao Liechuan: "Is there anything wrong?"

The smile on Shao Liechuan's face paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

He looked at Xie Xuan and said:

"No, we just had a meal together, as compensation for you blocking my drink yesterday."

Xie Xuan remained silent.

After a while, Shao Liechuan chuckled and said:

"Come to think of it, you're the first person to make me spend money."

"......"Xie Xuan.

He felt a slight pain in his head.

Xie Xuan'an ignored the other party's inexplicable words, drank his drink and waited for the food to be served.

The dishes were served immediately. The table was small in quantity but beautiful in appearance.

Shao Liechuan smiled and started to pick up food for Xie Xuan'an, saying that he was treating him to a meal to apologize, but Xie Xuan'an felt something was weird.

Xie Xuan'an was hesitating whether to eat something when the lights suddenly went out and a group of people rushed in quickly.

They just rushed in pushing a colorful flashing object.

This was followed by the sound of a salute.

The object vaguely resembled a cake.

Xie Xuan: ...?

Everyone looked at Xie Xuan and shouted:

"Happy birthday, Master Xu!"

Everyone had a smile on their face, and everyone was holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands. They gathered together and wished Xie Xuan'an the best.

Xie Xuan'an was stunned for a moment and didn't have time to speak.

They then said in unison:

“Happy 21st Birthday!!”

Xie Xuan'an's expression froze, and he turned his head to look at Shao Liechuan beside him.

The latter was smiling at him tenderly.

"Xuan, happy birthday!"

Xie Xuan: "..."

Birthdays are really not important to him, and he has never celebrated one.

But who doesn't like to be cared for?

Especially when you are surrounded by people celebrating your birthday.

Xie Xuan'an was a little startled, his mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't say a word.

His mind was on Shao Liechuan.

Shao Liechuan actually remembered his birthday and had it held in such a grand manner as a surprise for him.

He really has good intentions.

Maybe I shouldn't always look at him with prejudice?

No, no, no...

Xie Xuan'an lowered his eyes, a hint of hesitation flashing across his eyes.

To be precise, he doesn't know his birthday because even his identity is fake.

I have never met my biological parents...

Xie Xuan'an looked at Shao Liechuan seriously, as he was begging for praise, and didn't know what to say.

He picked up the wine glass that Shao Liechuan pushed over to him.

"Thank you, and thank you Shao Liechuan." Xie Xuan'an raised his glass to them, still very grateful.

He tilted his head back and drank the spicy wine.

The voices of the people around me became even louder.

"Happy birthday, Master Xu!"

"Happy birthday, Master Xu!"

"I wish you smooth sailing, two dragons soaring, three sheep opening the door to prosperity, four seasons of peace, five blessings coming to you, six smooth sailings, seven stars shining brightly, eight directions of wealth coming to you, nine hearts in harmony, and ten perfect!"

Xie Xuan'an put down his wine glass shyly, which was rare for him. He still felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people.

At this time, the lights came on again.

Suddenly music started.

The crowd started to boo.

"Master Xu, cut the cake quickly!!"

"Yes, yes! Cut it quickly!"

"Xuan, cut the cake." Shao Liechuan looked expectant.

Xie Xuan'an had no choice but to pick up a knife and cut off a small piece of cake.

Shao Liechuan also stood up and put the birthday crown on Xie Xuan'an's head.

Xie Xuanan blinked to hide his shyness.

Just about to put the small cake in my hand into my mouth.

"Wait a moment."

Someone stopped him.

Xie Xuan was stunned.

"Kacha."

The sound of taking pictures sounded.

It was Shao Liechuan, who was staring at Xie Xuan'an with a sly smile as he was about to eat the cake.

"Hehehe, I got a photo~" he thought to himself.

Xie Xuan'an had no choice but to take a small bite of cake to deal with it temporarily.

Although he was very touched, he would never let his guard down.

At this time, the lights were dimmed and changed to warm yellow.

The people around started singing in unison.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you."

Everyone hummed the lyrics together, and some even picked up instruments to play accompaniment, which was very appropriate.

Xie Xuan'an never thought that there would be a day when he would receive birthday wishes from others.

But he didn't refuse and let them finish singing the song.
