Is this the fat orange you dropped?

The news on the Internet was overwhelming, Xie Xiaobao thought about it but couldn't figure out how to bring it up to He Yu naturally and without embarrassment, and simply threw it behind him like an ostrich.

He Yu found that Xie Xiaobao hadn't contacted him for a long time, so he took the initiative to send a WeChat message. Xie Xiaobao also chatted in a hurry, and ended the chat with the excuse that he still had something to do.

Xie Xiaobao was avoiding him.

Frowning, not sure if it was his own illusion, He Yu sent another WeChat message to Xie Xiaobao.

[exist? ]

[Do you have time on Friday night to have a meal together? ]

Xie Xiaobao has been hiding from He Yu for a few days, and he was afraid that everyone would be embarrassed to talk about Weibo, so he has been avoiding chatting with He Yu these days.

Xie Xiaobao was very moved by He Yu's proposal, but when he thought that He Yu would also see those spoof emoticons, his face would turn red. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for everyone to face each other.

It's better not to go, Xie Xiaobao typed one by one with a puffy face.

［I happen to have something to do on Friday, can I do it next time? ]

He Yu, who was rejected again, frowned. It was not his illusion that Xie Xiaobao was hiding from him.

[recently, I am busy? ]

[Actually, Friday is my birthday, so I wanted to have a meal with you. ]

"Huh?" Xie Xiaobao sat up in surprise. Friday is He Yu's birthday?

Xie Xiaobao picked the buttons of his pajamas, how could he let He Yu spend his birthday alone, at worst, when He Yu knew about it, he could just apologize to him.

[Then I treat you to dinner, what gift do you want? ]

He Yu looked at Xie Xiaobao's news, and a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.

[No, it is enough for you to arrive. ]

Seeing the news, Xie Xiaobao felt even more guilty. On such an important birthday, He Yu took the initiative to invite him, but he shirked it because of a trivial matter, and even made up excuses to deceive people. It was too much.

[If you don’t tell me, I’ll prepare it myself. ]

Xie Xiaobao rested his chin on the doll cat, and while chatting, he was thinking about what gift to give He Yu.

He Yu smiled back at him, called up the address book, and called Father He.

"Dad, I won't be back on Friday."

"Yes, the company has something to do temporarily. Let's make it up when you come back on the weekend. You can tell mom and grandma that you don't need to prepare anything this year."

He's father hung up the phone, and He's mother greeted him, "Is it Xiaoyu?"

Father He nodded, frowning thoughtfully, "Well, I said I won't be home for my birthday this year."

"Why didn't you come back?" Mother He said: "Two days ago, Mom said that she had researched a few new dishes and was going to try Xiaoyu's skills on her birthday."

Father He had his hands behind his back, and the old god was there, "He is so old, he should always leave some private space."

"What kind of person——" Mother He suddenly realized halfway through her words, and said in surprise, "You mean...?"

Father He smiled, "I'm just guessing. After all, you haven't seen anyone celebrating Xiaoyu's birthday with you in so many years."

Mother He took two steps happily, muttering, "I don't know whose child it is, whether I can bear Xiaoyu's personality..."

"Old He, why didn't he bring him back to have a look?"

Father He, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, pressed her shoulders to let her sit down, "I haven't written my horoscope yet, Xiaoyu has her own sense of proportion, so don't worry about it."

He father and mother here are overjoyed, but Xie Xiaobao is still worried.

Xie Xiaobao wanted to make the birthday cake by himself, and had to find some time to buy all the materials.As for the birthday gift, Xie Xiaobao was still struggling with what to give.

He Yu is not short of money, the things in the mall should be familiar to him, it is better to give him something special.

Xie Xiaobao propped his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly got up and ran to Xie Yan's room, knocked on the door and leaned half of his body in, "Brother?"

Xie Yan was wearing pajamas and leaning against the bedside to read a book, when he saw him poking his head, he beckoned him in.

Xie Xiaobao walked over slowly, looking at Xie Yan with flickering eyes, "Brother..."

"Huh?" Xie Yan closed the book, looked at him with his hands crossed, and quietly waited for his next words.

"Well... I have a friend's birthday..." Xie Xiaobao put his hands behind his back, nervously twisting the corners of his clothes, "Don't you have something..."

"What?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows.

"It's your piece... that piece of... agarwood..." Xie Xiaobao's voice became softer as he spoke, Xie Yan had a piece of agarwood that was not young, and it was sent over a long time ago. He happened to be right next to him, and he still remembered that Xie Yan seemed to have praised it a few times, saying that it was very rare.

"I want to make a bracelet by myself, but I don't have good materials..." Xie Xiaobao begged cheekily, "If you don't use it, I'll exchange it with you for other things."

Xie Yan sat up straight, looked him up and down, and said after a long time: "Which friend?"

As soon as Xie Xiaobao heard that there was drama, he quickly said, "It's He Yu, you've seen it before."

Xie Yan frowned, looked at Xie Xiaobao's face full of joy, and asked slowly: "You have a good relationship with him...?"

Xie Xiaobao nodded heavily, "It's a good friend."

Xie Yan bent one leg, tapped his fingers on his knee, did not move and did not speak.

Xie Xiaobao was waiting beside him almost dying of anxiety, wishing he could turn into a cat and bite Xie Yan's clothes and act coquettishly.

"In the safe in the study, the password is my birthday, go and get it yourself."

Xie Yan finally let go and let him get it himself.

Xie Xiaobao's eyes sparkled, he said loudly "Brother, you are so kind" and rushed out of the room quickly.

Taking the agarwood from the study, Xie Xiaobao couldn't wait to go back to the room. The piece of agarwood collected by Xie Yan is not big, but it is very old, and it is very heavy in his hand. You don't need to get close to smell the fragrance.

Tools are needed to polish the beads, and there are no materials for making cakes, so Xie Xiaobao packed up and went out to buy together.

After taking a taxi and walking around Shenshi, Xie Xiaobao bought all the materials. Xie Xiaobao arranged the tools and prepared to make bracelets first.

The whole piece of agarwood needs to be cut into slices, and then the pieces of agarwood are cut into small cylinders. This task tests both patience and proficiency. Fortunately, Xie Xiaobao does it a lot, and his hands are very steady. It took half a day. In a short time, eighteen small cylinders were cut out.

The small cylinders are drilled one by one before the shape is polished. The edges and corners of the cylinders are rounded and rounded. The machine-polished ones will be larger than the final product, which is convenient for the final manual polishing.

Xie Xiaobao did this step very carefully, carefully observed and compared the lines of each bead, and did not finish polishing until Wednesday night.

The round and round wooden beads rolled around in the small box, and made a slight sound when they collided. Xie Xiaobao counted them to confirm that they were correct, and finally put down the tools and stretched.

"Isn't it enough to buy a bunch outside? You have been working on it for two days and still haven't finished it." Xie Yan watched him busy for two days, somewhat displeased, "It's fine if you want it."

Xie Xiaobao puffed his face, saying that what he made was special, "There is no point in buying from the mall."

Xie Yan said with a sullen face, "Since when did you have such a good relationship with He Yu?"

Xie Xiaobao thought about it carefully, and felt that friendship is really a very magical thing. It seems that not long ago, he and He Yu were just ordinary friends, but now that they are mentioned, they can be said to be best friends.

"It's just... suddenly it's so good, I can't remember it."

Xie Xiaobao smiled foolishly, and put the small box containing the beads in his arms dearly.

Xie Yan frowned, wanted to say something but held back, and finally said: "Then you should pay attention to rest."

Xie Xiaobao nodded, said good night to him, and went back to his room with the small box in his arms.

After sleeping, Xie Xiaobao got up early on Thursday. He was thinking about something, so he woke up very early.

The polishing of the wooden bead is still in the last step, Xie Xiaobao carefully polished the wooden bead for the final time, and then threaded the wooden bead with a red string.

The dark brown wooden beads are threaded into a string, the surface is polished very smooth, with a gentle and delicate luster, Xie Xiaobao sniffed it closer, the tip of his nose is filled with the unique fragrance of agarwood, he smiled with satisfaction, and carefully put the bracelet on with the box Put it on.

Now just wait for Friday, after the cake is ready, you can go to He Yu.
