Don't break up, let's live together
Chapter 19 Birthday
"You're so smart, what gift would you like?"
"Brother Shen can give me anything."
On the other side of the phone, Shen Changqing thought to himself, Qiao Mingyue gave an ambiguous answer, and he didn't know what Qiao Mingyue liked.
Shen Changqing usually gave his brother money or a car, and Zhu Qing's handy electronic equipment, and Qian Zhe could fool him with a few drinks.
But this was the birthday of the person he liked, and the first birthday he had met Qiao Mingyue. He didn't want to give something hastily, but something grand and classy if he wanted to.
For Qiao Mingyue's birthday gift, Shen Changqing thought for a long time, and asked Ms. Han Guixin what kind of gift would be suitable for the person she likes.
Han Guixin looked at her son happily. The son who was single for 17 years finally found someone he liked.
She answered Shen Changqing, and took out the jade bracelet in the safe, pushed it into Shen Changqing's palm, and told him, "Son, your grandma gave it to me at that time, you give it to your daughter Friends."
Shen Changqing was embarrassed to pick it up, thinking, can Qiao Mingyue have this jade bracelet?
If this jade bracelet was worn on Qiao Mingyue's fair wrist...it would be nice.
Anticipating how Qiao Mingyue would be furious when he received the jade bracelet, Shen Changqing sobered up a bit, and rejected his mother, "He might not want this thing, we are young people, and we don't like this kind of antiques."
Hearing this, Han Guixin also felt that giving a bracelet is not good, but she still insisted on asking Shen Changqing to accept it, "Take this as a gift, and you are thinking of giving something else."
Shen Changqing didn't want to argue with his mother anymore, so she accepted the jade bracelet.
Back in the room, Shen Changqing sat on the sofa, still not sure what to give, how about some "May [-]" or "College Entrance Examination Question Bank"?
After all, he had been watching Qiao Mingyue brushing up questions all day and all night, so he must be thinking about it.
Shen Changqing didn't think too much, opened a shopping app, and ordered all the high school exercise books that he thought had good covers.
Shen Yuanye, who disciplined his son strictly, saw his son's Taobao account bought a lot of workbooks, and smiled with relief, thinking to himself, his son is sensible.
Shen Changqing didn't stay idle after buying the exercise book, and checked Weibo and Baidu to find advice from professionals.
"What birthday gift do you like for someone..."
"What birthday present for the boy you like..."
"What birthday present for the boy you have a crush on..."
Shen Changqing typed out these questions one by one, but the answers were not as respectful as he wanted. They said that they gave wallets and razors, and others said they gave diamonds, emeralds and agates.Can Qiao Mingyue use these things?
Not reconciled, he gritted his teeth and typed, "What birthday gift does the boy give the boy he likes?"
The results of the search came out, those answers are simply too shameful, what kind of condom, what kind of vibrator...
Shen Changqing threw the phone on the sofa, leaned against the cushion, put his hands on his head, grabbed the phone suddenly, and deleted all the browsing history just now. At this time, he didn't think about it, and closed his eyes on the sofa.
January 31 -
Zhao Mei, who had already accepted that her son liked men, got up early and cooked a sumptuous meal herself.
"Happy birthday, son." Zhao Mei put on an apron and put the last dish on the table.
"Happy birthday, grandson." Grandpa also looked up, picked up the biggest shrimp and put it in Qiao Mingyue's bowl.
Qiao Mingyue thanked her grandfather, peeled off the shrimp skin, ate the shrimp, swallowed it, tasted the taste, and praised Zhao Mei's cooking skills.
Zhao Mei was overjoyed, drank a few bottles of wine in the morning, and said it all when she was overjoyed, "Mom, I have thought about it for so long, I will no longer interfere with your dating with boys, find the right person, don't be like me, marry If you don't love someone, he's a jerk."
Everyone at the table was happy, but Zhao Mei's words made them very unhappy, especially the grandfather, who stared straight at Zhao Mei. Since it was Qiao Mingyue's birthday party, it was difficult to say anything.
Grandpa has always been open-minded, he does not object to his children's freedom of love, and he will follow Qiao Mingyue's liking.
Zhao Mei didn't want to marry Qiao Mingyue's father at first, but she got married after being bridged by her grandmother. Her married life has never been very happy.
Qiao Mingyue was seven or eight years old, and his grandmother passed away. He was too young and in Huaicheng, so he didn't have much impression of her grandmother.
But Zhao Mei has always hated his grandma, always nagging that grandma ruined her life and so on.
At noon, Shen Changqing insisted on picking him up at the door of his grandfather's house, Qiao Mingyue also agreed, and reported the location to Shen Changqing.
Shen Changqing changed to a small sports car to pick him up.
Zhao Mei saw the small sports car from a distance and asked, "Is this the person you like?"
Looking at the small silver sports car outside the window, Qiao Mingyue nodded, got dressed and went downstairs.
"Happy birthday, Boy Zhao." Shen Changqing sat in the driver's seat and winked at Qiao Mingyue.
Shen Changqing is very coquettish today, wearing a white suit, blue tie, and a scholar's round gold-rimmed glasses, he doesn't look like a high school student at all.
Qiao Mingyue, who was sitting in the co-pilot, took off the glasses from Shen Changqing's eyes, and asked in dissatisfaction, "Why are you wearing such a beautiful dress? Is it my birthday or yours?"
Shen Changqing held the steering wheel and said to him, "My mother asked me to wear it like this..." can attract girls' attention.
Qiao Mingyue looked at him curiously.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, what's wrong with me wearing formal clothes? Is it because I don't look good?" Shen Changqing explained in another way.
Qiao Mingyue put on the gold-rimmed glasses, and Shen Changqing beside her laughed, "You are more dressed than me."
The car drove to the garage of a villa in the city center, and Shen Changqing explained to him, "This is the house I just bought."
It is our "marriage room".
Qiao Mingyue didn't care about the new house or the old one. She walked around outside the villa and found that there were no cars or people. She asked, "Without your brothers?"
"No! I just want to be with you!" Shen Changqing felt that what he said was a bit too ambiguous, so he changed the phrase, "Because this is a new house, I don't want so many people to smoke formaldehyde."
Qiao Mingyue smiled, and after admiring the exterior of the villa, she stepped into the villa.
There are two floors in the villa, the decoration is simple and there is not much furniture.The simple European style reflects a unique beauty, and Qiao Mingyue likes this style of house very much.
While Shen Changqing was busy in the kitchen, Qiao Mingyue walked into every room and every corner curiously.
As night fell, the tableware for two people was placed on the long dining table, and the two sat in teams facing each other on both sides of the dining table.
"Try it, I did it all!" Shen Changqing looked at Qiao Mingyue with a look of "seeking compliments".
Qiao Mingyue moved his chopsticks and found that the table was full of his favorite food. With a smile on his face, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and bit the tender meat on the bone. The crisp and sweet taste made him pick up a few more. piece.
Shen Changqing said, "Eat slowly, no one will grab you." In fact, Shen Changqing was not hungry, so he simply tasted a few mouthfuls, and went to eat and drink with Zhu Qing at noon.He wanted to participate in the birthday meal he gave to Qiao Mingyue, but Shen Changqing refused, so he could only apologize for eating lunch.
"Can you cook? It's delicious."
Shen Changqing smiled proudly, "Of course, I have been able to do it since I was a child, but I am just too lazy to do it. Today is your birthday, and I will cook by myself, which is enough to save you. I don't even cook for my parents' birthdays. .”
The corners of Qiao Mingyue's mouth curled up, and she refused to speak.
After dinner, Shen Changqing came over with a birthday cake, sang a birthday song for Qiao Mingyue, and cut the cake for him.
Qiao Mingyue tasted it, and it was neither sweet nor greasy, and tasted very good, "Did you make it again?" Then, he handed the plate to Shen Changqing and asked him to cut another piece.
Shen Changqing who took the plate looked at Qiao Mingyue, "Yeah, did you make a very good brother?"
Qiao Mingyue tasted the new cake that Shen Changqing had cut, and pouted a few more times, "I'm not your brother."
At this moment, Shen Changqing took out a silver ring from his pocket.
Qiao Mingyue was a little suffocated, did she ask for marriage?
Shen Changqing brought Qiao Mingyue's left hand over, pinching the silver ring in her hand. The silver ring passed through Qiao Mingyue's index finger, and it was already worn to the deepest part of the index finger.
Index finger, wear the ring for you, dream of love for you.
"It's a shame." Qiao Mingyue raised her hand to catch the light of the chandelier and looked at the ring on her index finger. Under the light, the silver-white luster was shining.
Shen Changqing took out another symbolic "100 sets of test papers for the college entrance examination" from the guest room and put it in Qiao Mingyue's hands.
Qiao Mingyue looked at the exercise book in her hand and laughed, "Brother Shen, are you kidding me?"
"No way! Don't you like to write questions the most? I think these questions are more important to you than me." Shen Changqing pretended to be unhappy after speaking, "Do you know how many copies I bought? A total of two hundred Ben! Next semester, I will definitely be abandoned by you! You went to find the exercise book to make love to each other!"
Qiao Mingyue responded with a loving hug, thanking Shen Changqing for the workbook, and he whispered to Shen Changqing, "Next semester, I will return these workbooks to you. You made the workbooks in the dormitory."
Qiao Mingyue let go of Shen Changqing. Today, Shen Changqing was very honest and did not touch Qiao Mingyue. He was very ambiguous.
"I think this house is a bit special, and your car is new." Qiao Mingyue asked tentatively.
"Well, I originally wanted to give it to today's birthday star, but I only gave it to my brother, not to outsiders!" Shen Changqing joked, "You are not my brother, so you can't receive my house, my car."
Qiao Mingyue didn't want it either, it was too inappropriate, he touched the ring on his index finger with his thumb, and smiled, "I don't care."
Qiao Mingyue felt that Shen Changqing was very happy to be with him, and it was enough to remember that there was Qiao Mingyue in the world.
...
The two of them were lying on the sofa after eating and drinking enough. At this time, Qiao Mingyue's mobile phone suddenly received a text message. He opened it, and it was also surnamed Qiao. It said,
"Son, congratulations on your 16th birthday."
Qiao Mingyue didn't expect her father to be able to give him birth day blessings. Ever since she was a child, her father always stayed away all day and all night just to entertain.
During the 12 years in Huaicheng, there was not a single year when the father surnamed Qiao commemorated his birthday, and he never came back to see himself.
Last time, in order to help Shen Changqing find out the tax evasion of Director Wang's wife's company, he was very reluctant. He didn't want to rely on his father's relationship.
For Shen Changqing, he called his father for the first time in the three years since he came to Fengtian City.
The father obliged him.
Qiao Min asked for one condition. As long as Qiao Mingyue agrees, he will help Qiao Mingyue suppress Director Wang's wife's company and Li's property, and sentence Li Zhi to prison.
The condition was to return to Huai City to study before Qiao Mingyue's summer vacation.
Qiao Mingyue didn't understand why his father still did this, since he hadn't wanted him for so many years.
"Son, you should think about the conditions clearly, go back to Huai City, don't you still miss Ji Ling?"
Seeing the word "Ji Ling", Qiao Mingyue's eyes dimmed.
He sighed and only typed a few words, "Well, I'll go back."
Huaicheng, Ji Ling, I miss it a little.
But it was the person in front of him that he hated the most.
Shen Changqing.
"Brother Shen, when is your birthday? I want to prepare a big gift for you." Qiao Mingyue asked.
"You need to prepare a big gift. I only celebrate my birthday in August, and it will be a long time before I receive your gift." Shen Changqing held his hand, his pupils reflected light in the dim light, and his eyes looked forward.
"Okay." Qiao Mingyue agreed verbally, but her heart felt bitter. He might not celebrate Shen Changqing's birthday, let alone any birthday presents.
He who had always been independent and strong suddenly didn't want to be separated from the confident young man beside him.
They are happy when they are together.
We will be happy when we are apart...

Is sweet high school candy delicious?
