When she said this, she bent slightly and approached me, putting great pressure on me, and before I could answer, she still maintained this posture.

I swallowed involuntarily, because I was nervous.

I haven't felt this pressure for a long time.

I still held the glass of water she brought me in my hand, and I held it tightly, still looking directly at her.

Small scene, don't panic.

I seem to know how to answer: "What about you? How long is your birthday?"

If I had known this earlier, when I signed the contract, I should have shown my ID card.

Xu Luo was also obviously stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered, and he stood up straight without answering immediately.

I pressed: "How long?"

She looked at me again with a less calm expression: "It's over."

This time it was my turn to be stunned: "When?"

"I don't have the habit of celebrating my birthday, it doesn't matter."

I took a sip of water, put the cup on the tea table, and stared at her: "Don't be vague, answer me." I paused, "As a cousin, I don't even know her birthday, isn't it unqualified?" ?”

I didn't want Fang Yuan to emphasize the matter of "cousins", but I brought it out myself to put pressure on Xu Luo.

"When you are on a business trip."

"...The last business trip or the last time?"

"Last time."

I widened my eyes: "That means, your birthday is not long past."

Xu Luo also nodded slowly.

I stroked my forehead, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Is it my turn to be angry now?"

"You didn't ask me." Xu Luo was also a little unreasonable.

"Then you didn't ask me?"

Xu Luo also frowned: "This is different."

"What's the difference?"

"My birthday doesn't matter."

"Then mine is important?"

"important."

I waved my hand: "Just tell me when your birthday is."

She shook her head: "I don't want to say."

I stood up and took two steps towards her, facing her.

Xu Luo is also a few centimeters shorter than me, which can be ignored, and we are almost at eye level.

"You have to say." Ever since I became her cousin, it's rare for me to be so strong. When I was a benefactor, I was even more domineering.

"The day you called for the first time after your business trip."

I recalled it, remembered it, and then I exhaled, my eyes were a little hot: "It would be great if you told me."

It was Halloween that day.

Xu Luo also twitched the corner of her mouth: "There's nothing to say." She lowered her eyelashes, grasped the line of her trouser legs with both hands, and said in a low voice, "My parents always thought it was unlucky for me to be born on that day."

really.

Her evasive attitude just now was because of her family.

She's been brainwashed for so long, she was born with a bad luck.

After Xu Luo also finished speaking, she raised her head again, and her tears were already rolling in her eyes.

I must have been blurred in her eyes, and her nasal voice has gradually become stronger: "Mr. Yu, can I order takeaway?"

We haven't eaten yet, and she has been cooking recently.

"it is good."

I felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to say a lot of words to comfort her, but I didn't know where to start, as if the language was a little pale at this time.

Saying nothing is useless.

I did not expect to spend the last few hours of my last day at the age of 26 in such a state of mind.

Tomorrow is Monday, I don't have to go to work, I can sleep late, but because I was thinking about Xu Luoye, I didn't notice the time.

Until Xu Luo also knocked on the door, and said to me through the door: "Happy birthday."

She called my name again: "Aftermath."

Xu Luo didn't call my name too many times, but every time I called my name, I was a little surprised and surprised, and this time was no exception.

I checked the time, September 00th, 00:[-].

I lifted the quilt and got up and opened the door, but Xu Luo had already returned to his room.

I stood where I was and wanted to walk to her door, but I just thought that she would have class tomorrow, so I turned around and went back to lie down.

The phone rang, and it was Fang Yuan's call.

"A palpitation!"

"Happy birthday!"

"I'm also the first to send blessings this year~"

I smiled: "You're a little late."

"Hold."

"Could it be sister Xiao Xu?"

I gave a slight "hmm".

"OK, I'll come to you when I wake up, anyway, you don't go to work today."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, I clicked on WeChat, and many people who knew my birthday had already sent me blessings.

I thanked them one by one, and after a long time, I turned off my phone and closed my eyes.

I didn't wake up naturally as I imagined, because my mother called me.

I answered in a daze: "Mom."

"He's 28 years old, why haven't he woke up at ten o'clock?"

I was immediately woken up by her words: "Mom, I only turned 27 today!"

"Isn't it still 28?"

I opened my eyes and couldn't understand: "I'm only 27 today as shown on my ID card."

"Thirty rounded up."

My mother can say anything to get me out of bed.

When the phone hung up, I was really full of anger, and it took several minutes to calm down.

There is no way I can stay on this bed any longer.

After washing up, I saw a post-it note left by Zhang Xuluo on the coffee table, telling me that there is porridge in the rice cooker, so I should remember to drink it.

I raised the corners of my mouth, but when I thought about last night, I couldn't laugh again.

Fang Yuan came a little early, I thought I would come back in the afternoon at least, when she came, she brought a gift she bought.

The gift is packed in a delicate black box. The bronzing logo on the box is very eye-catching, but I don't recognize it.

Fang Yuan said while eating snacks: "Quickly disassemble, this is a gift that I have been thinking about for a long time."

I put it on the coffee table and shook my head: "Let's take it apart later."

Fang Yuan smiled: "Ah Ji, really, you can't imagine what's inside."

I glanced at her: "I'm a little curious when you say that."

"Then you should tear it apart."

I shook my head again: "But I'm also afraid of being cheated."

"I'm your good sister, why are you cheating?"

I took another deep look at her, and finally took the box over, untied the tied bow, and slowly opened the box.

Lying inside is a seal, not big, the body of the seal is clear, the stone is smooth and delicate, there is no flaw at all, and the carving is very fine.

I picked it up, and it felt cool in my hand, very comfortable to the touch, and my name was engraved on the bottom.

Fang Yuan ate another piece of potato chips and said, "I remember you used to like to design something, and you signed it every time. Wouldn't it be great if you had a seal?"

I raised my eyebrows: "Okay, I understand." I put the engraved seal away, "I will design a skirt for you later."

"Thank you, Sister Pan!" Fang Yuan grinned.

Although my mother was very angry with me in the morning, when it was almost noon, both she and my father transferred a lot of money to me, and I accepted them one by one without being polite at all.

In the afternoon, Song Chicheng asked for leave and came to hang out with Fang Yuan and me.

Song Chicheng became a bag carrier, complaining endlessly along the way, and incidentally talked about his current romantic partner: "This is the first time I have met someone who loves shopping so much. As a big man, he can go shopping better than you."

Fang Yuan gave him another bag: "We can't go shopping either. Look, you only have five bags in your hand."

Song Chicheng looked at me with a bitter face: "Sister, Fang Yuan bullied me again."

I smiled slightly: "Come on."

Before Huo Lingshu went to college, we celebrated our birthdays together every time, because at that time we had to go home to study, and when we went back, we could see a table of delicious meals.

The four of us sat together and sang songs for the birthday star. In the end, the adults played cards, and we children played games.

But now there are very few opportunities to stay together like this, except that we will get together during the Chinese New Year, and the rest of the time, it's just us grown-up children.

However, the elders of the other three families still sent me red envelopes, especially my godfather and godmother, who sent me a lot of money.

In their eyes, we are still children, even though my mother said that I am almost thirty.

After shopping for a while, I found a coffee shop and sat down.

Song Chicheng was sending a message to his little brother. Fang Yuan looked around and asked me, "Ah, have you given away that lipstick?"

I don't know why she mentioned this, I replied: "No." I said, "Why are you asking this?"

Fang Yuan smiled: "I was just asking casually, I think little sister Xu would look better if she wore lipstick."

Song Chicheng interjected: "Sister Xu?" He frowned and looked at me, "Sister, does sister Xu know that I am your younger brother?"

"I don't know." I haven't said yet.

"You have to say it today."

"why?"

"Unless little sister Xu doesn't live with us."

"It's unlikely." I turned on the phone, opened the chat dialog box with Xu Luoye, and showed it to Song Chicheng, "I told her to have dinner together tonight, and she agreed."

Song Chicheng said "Hey": "Then do I still need to act?"

Fang Yuan was still chatting with Lu Sheng, when he heard this, he raised his head: "Acting? What are you acting?"

Song Chicheng replied truthfully: "Before my sister asked me to play her bamboo horse in front of Xiao Xu's sister, I called my sister 'Little Palpitation' the whole time." He touched his arm, "I got goosebumps all over my body."

"Fear." Fang Yuan couldn't stop laughing, "What the hell, are you childish?"

"It's okay." I looked at the time, "Let's go, it's almost time, I can pick her up now."

Huo Lingshu couldn't come because she was on a business trip, but on the way to the University of Science and Technology, she kept videoing with us.

The car stopped at the school gate again, and before it stopped, he saw Xu Luoye who was already waiting by the side of the road.

Fang Yuan pressed the co-pilot's window and waved to her.

It was Song Chicheng's car.

Xu Luo also opened the back seat and sat down beside me. She held a small bag in her hand, and she handed it to me: "Here."

I froze for a moment, and she said calmly, "Birthday gift."

Fang Yuan turned her head, curious: "What is it?"

Xu Luo also replied: "Secret."

When she said these two words, the corners of her mouth were still curled.

I put the bag aside and smiled, "Okay."

Song Chicheng coughed lightly: "Then let's go." He held the steering wheel, "Xiao Ji, let's get you a birthday cake first."

When Fang Yuan heard his words, his laughter could break the roof of the car.

Xu Luo also looked at me with some doubts, and I cleared my throat: "It's okay."

Xu Luo also: "Oh." She said softly, "But I have something to do."

I looked over: "What?"

"I didn't have a good class today."

Xu Luoye's voice was getting lower and lower, but the chatter between Fang Yuan and Song Chicheng was a little louder.

I couldn't help leaning closer to her to hear clearly.

She also leaned close to my ear: "Because... I seem to miss you very much."
