you're so stubborn

Because Jiang Nan took Xia Man over, the young men changed from being in a hurry to being a little more handy.

Girls are always more careful and delicate than boys. It should be a very enjoyable thing for them to arrange birthday scenes.

Seeing ordinary things create a very warm picture under my own arrangement, I have a special sense of accomplishment.

"What is this? Mosquito net?" Xu Haoyu asked while pulling a piece of translucent gauze.

"This is tulle, for decoration," Xia Man walked over and reached out to Xu Haoyu, "Give it to me."

Xu Haoyu handed her the decorative mosquito net, probably wanting to know how the mosquito net can be decorated, and followed Xia Man to the dessert table that Xie Lang set up.

The tulle was quite long, at least two meters, and Xia Man asked Xu Haoyu to hold the other end and spread it on the dessert table.

Just as Xu Haoyu was going to pick it up, Jiang Nan immediately dropped the fudge in his hand and ran over here.

"What's the matter? Do you want to help? I'll be fine, you can go and rest." Jiang Nan looked very concerned about Xu Haoyu.

Xu Haoyu rolled his eyes and left.

"Be virtuous!" Xu Haoyu picked up a bag of candy that Jiangnan lost from the sofa, put his arms around Xie Yuyu, who was stealing candy from the fake Gongji, and beeped, "Xie Yuyu, let me ask you, you will find a girlfriend in the future and kiss brother Qing Is it?"

Xie Yu was chewing milk fudge, shaking his short legs, and grinning with his baby teeth, he replied, "Dear!"

"Then can Brother Qing kiss your girlfriend?" Xu Haoyu asked again.

Xie Yuyu wanted to answer his kiss, Xie Lang threw a bag of candy over, "Don't throw your face into the trash can, don't bury our family's Yuyu here."

"Tsk!" Xu Haoyu picked up the fudge that hit his stomach and the bag of fudge he just picked up, and put them together into a very kawaii bag, "Are you polite? Teach children not to forget brother when they have a girlfriend!"

"Hehe, thank you."

"Impolite!" Xu Haoyu glanced at him, continued to hug Xie Yuyu and whispered, "When you get a girlfriend in the future, remember to show it to Brother Qing. You can only do it after Brother Qing agrees, you know?"

Xie Yu didn't quite understand, but he still lowered his voice and agreed, "Okay."

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Aunt Jiang came over with a bag of vegetables, and Uncle Jiang and Uncle Xu came in with a box that was as tall as one and a half xie.

A group of people were stunned.

"Old man!" Xu Haoyu came over to help his father take the box, "What did you get?"

"Big G!" Uncle Xu loosened the box, shook his hands, and carried it all the way. The thing was heavy and tired.

"Uncle," Jiang Nan came over and walked around the box, "It's not like buying a real thing when you buy it. It takes two people to carry it. You can drive it by yourself."

"Get out!" Xu Shule scolded, "I really bought that thing, and I couldn't buy you enough."

"Why don't you buy your Qing'er?" Uncle Jiang was displeased and said a word.

"He is not enough, maybe he has to pay back."

Everyone in the courtyard is happy.

"What are you happy about?" Xie Lang flicked Xie Yu's forehead, "Go and call someone."

Xie Yu went to call a circle of people, and then asked Uncle Xu with a small face, "Uncle Xu, what is this?"

"It's your birthday present, open it and have a look?" Uncle Xu said.

"Birthday gift?" Xie Yu looked at the box bigger than him in surprise, "It's too big! How do I open it?"

"There are so many people in this courtyard, you can ask anyone to help you dismantle it." Uncle Xu knelt down and pinched his face.

"Then I'll ask Uncle Xu to help me dismantle it, okay?" Xie Yuyu put his arms around Uncle Xu's neck smoothly and acted sweetly.

"Heh, the bigger you get, the more you'll act like a spoiled child," Xu Shu laughed, "Okay! Come on, Xie Lang, bring me some scissors, and my uncle will unwrap presents for the little birthday boy!"

"Hey." Xie Lang turned around to get the scissors.

Ou Chen, who was leaning on the door frame, took a pair of scissors from the table in the window and handed them to him.

"Thank you..." Xie Lang said that he was about to pick up the scissors, but when he was about to take them away, he felt a strange touch from his fingertips. He lowered his eyelids to look, and saw his fingertips and Ou His fingertips touched together.

Before the three of Uncle Xu came, they were all packing candies in the living room, and their bodies were already thoroughly dried by the heating in the room, and they hadn't completely dispersed after standing at the door for a long time.

So Xie Lang could clearly feel a warm feeling from outside. Unexpectedly, he didn't resist very much. He just felt that such contact was acceptable in his heart, so he couldn't help staying for a few more seconds. .

"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Unexpectedly, Ou Chen suddenly said this, and quickly withdrew his hand.

Xie Lang looked up at him, didn't speak, and didn't know what to say.

People who used to want to play hooligans with their eyes now have to say "sorry" all the time. In Xie Lang's eyes, this change just feels a little... sad.

As if someone squeezed a few drops of lemon juice into his heart, his sore heart felt an indescribable pain.

The box is opened, and inside is a white children's car with two seats, which can seat two children.

Xie Lang had bought a similar toy for Xie Yu when he was two or three years old, but it was not as luxurious and the quality was not very good.

Once Xie Lang was bored and went to sit down, but the result was broken before he could run 50 meters, and he even fell down and squatted, which made the little Xie more than happy for a long time.

Now looking at such an exquisite car, he couldn't help but asked, "How many catties can this car seat, my family is full of grown children, how can I play with this, uncle, you don't want to buy it." A bigger one."

"Buy a bigger one? Do you think I bought it for you?" Uncle Xu squinted at him, hugged Xie Yuyu and put it in the driver's seat, "Come on, Yuyu, sit down and try driving, it's okay, this car I really want to move you, I asked the clerk, and the clerk said that it is no problem for a five-year-old to drive until the age of seven."

"But I'm six years old?" Xie Yu sat on the driver's seat and didn't dare to move, for fear of bumping into something and jumping out.

Some people are happy.

But, Uncle Xu only said five to seven years old, but didn't say six years old, so Xie Yuyu couldn't react.

As a result, Uncle Xu was never on the same channel as Xie Yuyu at all. Hearing what he said, he hurriedly said, "Are you six years old this year? I still think it's your fifth birthday."

"Why don't you treat us as eighteen, so you can buy us a real car." Xie Lang took out the remote control and batteries from the box, pressed the battery into the remote control, and patted Ou Ziyu's little head, "Ou Ziyu Get in the car, and I'll take you two for a ride."

"Wow!" Ou Ziyu didn't feel anything special about this car, after all, he had several in his family, and the reason why he was so happy at the moment was only because he could play with Xie Yuyu.

As a child, no matter what you play with, having company is the happiest thing.

Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang went to the kitchen to cook. Grandma couldn't stay free and insisted on helping. Grandpa was happy to be free, so he took Uncle Xu to drink tea with him and chat.

Xia Man and Jiang Nan made the dessert table feel fairy-like. Of course, the main credit for this is Xia Man, who is beautiful, ingenious and delicate. Jiang Nan just opened his mouth to chat with him.

Xu Haoyu is just a child at heart. Seeing that Xie Lang was having fun controlling the remote control, he snatched the remote control from his hand, took the two children to play with him, and his ass was still chasing after him.

Xie Lang felt that he was no longer needed in the courtyard, so he went to the room and continued to pack candy. Later, it was time for Xie's redundant classmates to come.

Not to mention whether people come to bring gifts or not, even if the parents are willing to send their children to accompany his brother to celebrate his birthday with confidence, he can't let people come and go back empty-handed.

After all, this year is the first time for the kid Xie Yu to make friends.

As an older brother, he must be taken seriously.

Ouchen is alone, he is not needed in the kitchen, he doesn't know Uncle Xu at the grandfather's side, and he doesn't need him to release millions of volts at the dessert table, and he doesn't need him to watch the two children happily playing.

So he went back to the house and wrapped candy with Xie Lang.

There are quite a few types of candy to buy, such as fudge, corn candy, milk candy, and chocolate, all of which children love to eat.

Ou Chen is a young man, he is not interested in these things, and he packs them very perfunctorily. He grabs a handful of this one, takes two bags of that one, and then puts them in a childish bag. Okay, it's over.

Move on to the next one.

Grab one for this, two for that...

He didn't succeed this time, but grabbed Xie Lang's hand very directly.

It's hard to believe that it wasn't intentional.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, Ou Chen really didn't do it on purpose.

But seeing that Xie Lang didn't shake off his hand as quickly as if he had encountered something disgusting, he didn't move.

The hand under the palm has distinct joints. It is a skillful hand that is very good at drawing, and it is also a very warm hand.

And things that are too warm will always breed some uncontrollable greed.

When greed sweeps the heart, no one is innocent.

Ou Chen looked up at Xie Lang, and said calmly and naturally, "I want to say that I didn't do it on purpose, do you believe me?"

Xie Lang pursed his lips, "I believe."

As he said that, he was about to take it back, but Ou Chen suddenly grabbed it in his hand, he opened his eyelids and looked back at Ou Chen.

"Then I want to say that I did it on purpose?" Ou Chen tilted his head, his cold brows and eyes were more provocative.

Xie Lang took a deep breath and said, "You are not."

Then he took out his hand and took the packed candy bags to the dessert table in the main room.

The dessert table was tidied up nicely by Xia Man, and the birthday cake and cupcake cups were all set up.

In order to prevent dust, she also asked Jiang Nan to tie four sticks around the table, and then she turned out a piece of soft gauze to hang on the four sticks.

After putting it together, she felt that it was too monotonous, so Xia Man pulled out a few small cartoon-style stickers and pasted them on, which looked fairy-like and childlike.

Xie Romantic glanced at it casually, and said, "It's pretty pretty."

"That's it, I don't think it's from the skillful hands of a fairy." Jiang Nan complacently stood beside Xia Man.

Xia Man blushed at what he said, and ran to the yard to see the two children.

Jiang Nan chased after him.

Xie Lang didn't even notice, he shook his head and placed the candy bag on the snack plate prepared in advance, and didn't go back to the living room after setting it up, just put it next to the dessert table as a decoration.

His mind is blank at the moment, a blank that he wants to grab some clues to think about carefully but can't catch anything, only the warmth on the back of his hand that is about to dissipate is left on his body. Remind him of the truth of what just happened.

The left hand moved unconsciously, probably wanting to hold the back of the right hand, wanting to leave as much of Ochen's warmth as possible.

But the distance between the two hands was too far away, and the entanglement in his heart that he wanted to hold but didn't dare to hold was too persistent, so he didn't do anything, and let the cold wind blowing in from the door dissipate and remained on the back of his hand temperature.

He was having a hard time, and Ouchen on the sofa was not much better. He was paralyzed on the sofa as if he had been sucked by a vixen. Only the warmth remaining in his palm was the most vivid. .

Warm, with the sweet smell of candy.

He clenched his hands into fists and took a long time to exhale from his chest.

Too impatient.

You shouldn't be in such a hurry.

A man on the sidelines...how can he be impatient?

When Xie Yuyu and Ou Ziyu were having fun in the courtyard, someone walked to the courtyard door and knocked on the door.

The five people and one dog in the yard didn't notice, Xie Lang was still in a daze when he heard the voice first, and looked towards the gate of the yard.

There were three children and two adults standing at the gate of the courtyard, each with a small thing in his hand, they were here to celebrate Xie Yu's birthday.

"Xie Yuyu," Xie Lang walked into the yard, turned his head and shouted at Xie Yuyu who was still floating there, "Stop playing, your little classmate is here."

Xu Haoyu was having fun, and Xie Yuyu couldn't even think about it.

"Brother Qing!" Xie Yu called Xu Haoyu overjoyed, "Stop the car! My classmate is here!"

Only then did Xu Haoyu come to his senses, he glanced at the entrance of the courtyard with a grin from ear to ear, and saw that Xie Lang had already followed them in, and at the same time noticed that Xie Lang's eyes were not very friendly, so he quickly put away that unrestrained look , carried out the two children Xie Yuyu and Ou Ziyu.

"Go ahead, call your classmate to go..." Xu Haoyu smoothed his hair disheveled by the cold wind, and he did not forget to ask after finishing the work, "Don't forget to call someone."

"Got it!" Xie Yuyu stretched his down jacket, pulled Ou Ziyu and ran towards his brother, and politely greeted the two aunts.

The two aunts were quite gentle. They first said happy birthday, and then handed out the birthday gift they had prepared.

Xie Yuyu didn't dare to accept it, so he looked up at his elder brother, who patted the back of his head, "Look at me, say thank you to auntie."

"Thank you, auntie!" Xie Yu reached out to receive the gift.

There was another north wind blowing outside, Xie Lang didn't let Xie Yuyu play in the yard anymore, but let him take the three children to play in the living room.

There is a little girl named Han Li who is Han Fei's younger sister. She is only two years old this year. She can't speak well, and she insists on playing with her brother.

Han Fei himself is a big kid, so he didn't have the patience to take this little doudiner, so he ignored her and followed Xie Yu and they piled up on the carpet to unwrap presents.

There was a pink pacifier hanging around Han Li's neck, and she took a step to shake it. Xie Yu saw her having fun, so he took a toffee from the table, and asked Aunt Han before handing it to her, "Auntie, baby Can my sister eat candy?"

"No," Aunt Han smiled, "She doesn't know how to eat candy yet."

"Okay, then I won't give it to her." Xie Yu put the toffee back, took another orange and asked Aunt Han, "Then can she eat oranges?"

"Oranges are edible, but she doesn't know how to peel them, but you can put a small orange in her hand and let her play by herself, so that she won't bother you."

"It's okay, don't bother me, then I'll peel it for her!" Xie Yuyu was quite happy to play with this kid, and he peeled the oranges carefully and obediently.

Xu Haoyu saw it, and happily joked that Xie Duo had met love.

Xie Lang told him to go.

The lunch is very rich, half of which are small dishes for children, and half of which are hard dishes for adults.

In order to make the children happy, Aunt Jiang even put a smiley face carved out of carrots in the bowls of the children. The children liked it so much that they were reluctant to eat any of them, except for Han Li. Little one, just picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xie Yuduo is good at coaxing people. Seeing that Han Li ate the smiling face carved by Aunt Jiang, he quickly said, "My sister ate the smiling face, then she will be happy every day from now on."

Aunt Han was so teased by him, she smiled at him, "The little birthday star also eat one quickly, you two will be happy together."

Xie Yu chuckled, and gave his brother his own carrot, "Give me mine! I want my brother to be happy every day!"

Xie Lang's heart warmed, and he rubbed Xie's excess hair.

"Why don't you give it to me? I also want to be happy every day." Xu Haoyu interjected sadly.

"No more!" Xie Yuyu held up his empty bowl to show Xu Haoyu, "Auntie just give me one."

"Yo, it's my fault," Aunt Jiang put down her chopsticks with an angry look, and snorted, "Hmph, I won't eat anymore."

"Then what should we do?" Xie Yuyu knew that his aunt wasn't really angry, so he was still quite happy there, "I wonder if my dear aunt can coax you well?"

"I don't know! But I can let you try it." Aunt Jiang didn't get angry all of a sudden, and nodded her face generously.

Xie was overjoyed, and just about to jump off the stool to kiss his aunt, Xie Lang grabbed him, "Sit down and eat, my aunt just loses weight if she doesn't eat."

Xie Yu blinked and glanced at his aunt.

"Hey!" Aunt Jiang was displeased, "You child is so ignorant! I worked so hard to cook a table of meals! You actually made me lose weight!"

"Then I can't ask my brother to sell tofu every day, can I?" Xie Lang said very naively.

A table of people had a lot of fun.

It's not easy to drink alcohol at a meal with children, so this meal was quite harmonious.

The children are also good, but the ink is smeared after eating, Zhang Yikai and Han Fei are fine, they always pick up two chopsticks when they come across delicious dishes, for fear that if one less chopstick is missing, the other party will finish the meal.

Then Ou Ziyu and Xie Yuyu are simply Moji's class representatives. In the words of grandpa, just the two of them would not be able to eat in the past.

But today is the child's birthday after all, so Xie Lang didn't mention him, but reminded him from time to time.

It took another hour to finish the lunch.

After dinner it's time to cut the cake.

A few adults took a few children to the dessert counter to take pictures, and the young men cleaned up the table very neatly.

Jiang Nan swept the floor, Xu Haoyu wiped the table, Ou Chen brought the bowl to the kitchen for Xie Lang to clean.

Xie Lang glanced at his hands while washing the dishes, "Don't get your hands dirty, just let them do it."

Ou Chen didn't move, he looked sideways at Xie Lang.

Xie Lang was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him.

He was also grabbed by Ou Chen when he was fighting in the alley before, but the previous grab was completely different from this grab.

He didn't know exactly what it felt like, but he felt that the previous grip was pure anxiety and worry, but this time there was some subtle meaning mixed with the mistake.

The meaning was quite clear, so clear that he could see clearly what was contained in it.

But at the same time, this brightness created a feeling of erratic in him, he wanted to reach out to grab it, but stopped instinctively.

And this 'instinct' also instinctively reminded Xie Lang of some very unpleasant memories, so he tried to sit away from Ouchen when he was eating, and he tried his best not to have eye contact with him at the moment. bump.

Even so, he could still feel Ochen's too straightforward and sad eyes on him.

It made him very uncomfortable.

"Don't want to see me?" Ou Chen stared at him and asked, although he knew that he shouldn't be too impatient, but when he saw Xie Lang deliberately avoiding his sight, it still made him very annoyed.

This question was very lacking in EQ, and was still angry, Xie Lang didn't say anything.

"Then I'll go first," Ou Chen took out a piece of kitchen paper and wiped his hands, "I'll come pick up Ou Ziyu in the afternoon."

After speaking, he threw the kitchen paper into the trash can, turned around and walked outside.

Xie Lang felt that this man was really sick!

But worrying that today is Xie Yuyu's birthday, everyone celebrated the child's birthday in a noisy manner, and whoever leaves first will make the child unhappy.

With a long sigh, Xie Lang still turned around to stop Ou Chen, and said under pressure, "Are you sick? Did I say I don't want to see you anymore?"

"You don't need to say it," Ouchen looked into his eyes, "I have no good qualities, and I always make people feel disgusted, but I still have a good eye for seeing people's faces."

Here we go again!

Xie Lang was convinced, he just said that!This person can remember him for two months!

Sorry and embarrassment took turns, for fear that he could not hear the irony between them.

It's good now, he didn't even use sarcasm, and directly stabbed him with real swords and guns.

Xie Lang is not a very kind person, he gave up when he should, and he apologized when he should apologize. This person still looks sad that he owes him.

This made Xie Lang very angry, he wanted to let Ou Chen get out of the way.

But the most secret emotion in my heart popped up uncontrollably, making Xie Lang's mouth water, and his teeth changed, "I don't want to see you...I'm washing the dishes ah."

Ou Chen stared at him for a long time, then turned his head and pulled the corners of his mouth, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of some kind of meaning of success.

"Oh." He said, "Then let me wash it for you."

Xie Lang didn't reply, and turned back to the sink to continue washing the dishes.

Thanks to Tuo Ouchen's help, the dishes that should have been washed in 10 minutes took 10 minutes in a daze.

The two of them went out from the kitchen, Xie Yuyu had lipstick marks all over his face, he tried to figure out who it was with his heels, Xie Lang glanced at Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang was holding a picture on her mobile phone, so she didn't feel his gaze.

Thanks to the extra tool man, he happily ran over and called his brother, "Brother! You can eat cake!"

"I can't even look at two taels of tofu, what cake to eat, it's a waste." Xie Lang took out a tissue from the table, and wiped Xie Yuyu's face vigorously.

Xie Yu was quite happily leaning on his brother, fooling around.

"Grandma," Xie Lang called grandma helplessly, "you don't even look at my aunt, look at her sucking up her extra face."

"Hi, your Aunt Jiang is taking pictures, it's all right." Grandma said cheerfully.

"That's right! Look at you, you're stingy!" Aunt Jiang looked up at Xie Lang from her phone, "Who doesn't eat tofu while it's tender, it's as old as you, I don't like it anymore. "

Ou Chen glanced at Xie Lang, his calm eyes were full of liking, which meant that he liked him.

Xie Lang didn't notice Ou Chen's eyes, and didn't bother to talk to Aunt Jiang, so he turned his head and said to Uncle Jiang, "Then you probably don't like Uncle Jiang even more."

Uncle Jiang was so angry that he wanted to hit him with a teacup.

Xie Lang grabbed Xie Yuyu and ran away, "Let's go! Let's cut the cake!"

"Cut the cake! Cut the cake!" Xie Yu jumped up and down excitedly in his elder brother's bed, almost kicking Ou Chen.

Ou Chen patted his ass.

The sense of ritual before cutting the cake still has to go through it again.

Xie Lang set up a camera stand, and placed it at an angle that could capture everyone in it and face Xie Yuyu.

After setting up the camera stand, Xie Lang ordered Jiang Nan to take out the birthday crown that he had prepared earlier.

The crown was customized by Xie Lang himself, not the kind given away by the cake shop for free.

Xie Yuyu already has five such crowns, all drawn by Xie Lang. He draws and customizes them every year, but they are different every year.

Because the little guy took a merry-go-round ride this year, this year’s birthday crown is a merry-go-round series. Six rabbits of different shapes are drawn on the staggered small carousel, which means that Xie Yuyu is six years old this year.

"Wow! Little rabbit!" Xie Yu looked at the crown in Jiangnan's hand and opened his mouth in surprise.

"Do you like it?" Jiang Nan shook the crown, "Brother Jiang Nan prepared this for you."

This is true, the picture was drawn by Xie Lang, but Jiang Nan paid for it to be customized.

It was supposed to be Xu Haoyu who spent the money, but Jiang Nan said that it was Xu Haoyu who spent the money last year, and it was his turn this year, otherwise he would have to work hard to find gifts for the children.

Xie Lang didn't care who spent the money, it wasn't expensive anyway, and he didn't allow Jiang Nan and the others to buy expensive things for Xie Yuyu.

"I like it! I like it so much! Thank you, Brother Jiangnan!" Xie Yuyu shouted bouncingly.

"Then brother, will you wear it for you?" Jiang Nan asked him happily.

"Ah..." Xie Yuyu was happy, but he still couldn't forget the rules, "I want my grandparents to wear them for me."

"Tsk, it's really boring, I still can't be fooled," Jiang Nan handed over the crown to his grandparents, "Come on, grandparents, put it on your dear little birthday star."

Grandpa and grandma took it and put it on for Xie Duo.

"It's great, our family is one year older." The grandma plucked the broken hair from Xie Yu's forehead, and couldn't help the red eyes when she said this.

Grandpa saw it, put his arms around grandma's shoulders, and raised his other hand to wipe off the lipstick marks that were not wiped off Xie Yu's face, "Yeah, our family is one year older, and we are already six years old. Grandpa and grandma wish our little Yuyu to be happy and happy every day."

"Thank you, grandpa and grandma!" Xie Yuyu hugged his grandparents, "Grandpa and grandma are happy too!"

Ou Chen noticed that the corners of grandma's eyes were already tearing, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. No matter how much a family loves the child, no matter how reluctant the child grows up, his eyes would not suddenly turn red on such a happy day.

So he glanced at Xie Lang curiously, but saw that Xie Lang's expression was also full of sadness that could not be relieved.

He was even more confused, but didn't ask any more questions.

This is a family matter, no matter how much he likes Xie Lang, he can't ask the root of his sadness.
