Rebirth, I really tried to refuse

Chapter 257 Birthday (for Subscription)

It will be four o'clock soon.

Aunt Liu's house, bathroom.

Xu Xinghe raised his arm and asked about the smell of the autumn clothes. It smelled of washing powder, of disinfectant balls in the cabinet, and more of the feminine smell of Liu Qingfei. Although it wasn't that fragrant, it smelled It feels very comfortable and smells very good. Anyway, no one is watching. Xu Xinghe took a few puffs in a row, and then satisfactorily found a few clothes racks in the toilet to hang up his clothes, and opened the bathroom door. .

"Aunt Liu?"

"... Mmm." Liu Qingfei's small face was still struggling with what Xu Xinghe said before.

"Where do the clothes hang?"

"The balcony over there."

one piece...

two...

Xu Xinghe had no choice but to dry his clothes on a small balcony on the first floor.
After finishing his clothes, Xu Xinghe looked at the one who was reading the newspaper on the sofa. He was about to sit down and discuss with Aunt Liu what he had said to her earlier.

Beep beep, beep beep, his phone rang very quickly. After taking a look, it was actually Sister Zhang calling.

"Where are you?"

Xu Xinghe quickly ran to the balcony in a few steps, "What's the matter, I'm at a, um, friend's house."

Sister Zhang can be said to know a lot about him, and Xu Xinghe doesn't have to hide it from her.

Sure enough, a meaningful voice came from the other end of the phone, "Oh? Where's your boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Xu Xinghe coughed twice, secretly turned his head to look at Liu Qingfei behind him and didn't answer, but it explained everything.

Sister Zhang suddenly asked on the other end of the phone: "Do you know what day it is?"

Xu Xinghe let out an ah, a little confused.

"Oh, then you should be busy." Sister Zhang hung up in a strange voice, listening to the sudden busy tone on the other end of the phone.

Xu Xinghe just moved while holding the phone, and blinked his eyes.

No, is sister Zhang angry?
so cold?

Xu Xinghe frowned, did he snub her recently?No, they are always on the phone at night.

Where did you provoke her?

She went to a meeting outside, so busy, I haven't seen her a few times.

Xu Xinghe stood on the balcony thinking for a long time, rubbed his eyes, walked into the living room a little messy, and suddenly slapped his head when he saw the electronic clock over there.

Haha, shouldn't today be Sister Zhang's birthday?

Xu Xinghe thought about it for a moment, and then swallowed hard. Oops, I forgot about it, and hurriedly said hello to Aunt Liu who came out of the toilet, he had to leave quickly.

Aunt Liu still doesn't know why,

Xu Xinghe didn't even change his pajamas, so he hurried to the nearest shopping mall, quickly changed into a set of clothes, and then picked out a gift for Zhang Jie.

He got into the car non-stop and drove towards the main city with sparks and lightning all the way.

The whole person was running panting.

His head was sweating profusely, and he finally freed up his hand to wipe it off, and it slowed down.

Then lightly pressed the combination lock of Sister Zhang's house.

As soon as the door opened, Xu Xinghe handed over a box with a big smile on his face, "This is for you, happy birthday, I wish you good health and a higher career."

Sister Zhang was still wearing a suit today, obviously she had just arrived home, and she still seemed a little indifferent to others, so she said oh, took it and threw it on the table.

Xu Xinghe said helplessly, "Open it and have a look, see if you like it."

Sister Zhang frowned, but she still stretched out her hand to open it, but there was a sense of impatience in the action of opening the box, the belated gift seemed to be her own.

Xu Xinghe was as depressed as he wanted, the box was opened, and the fluorescent lights were revealed, Zhang Jie still knew the goods, "Necklace? It's not cheap."

Xu Xinghe said: "Well, it's from Cartier. It looked good in the store when I passed by, and I thought it would suit you, so I bought it. I asked them to adjust the strap. Would you like to wear it?"

Zhang Yiling said: "How much?"

"Hi, it's not much money." Xu Xinghe didn't say anything.

Zhang Yiling put it on for a try, um, it was suitable, just right, and this necklace might suit her style better than the one on her neck, after all, Xu Xinghe gave it to her.

Xu Xinghe asked expectantly: "How do you feel?"

"...It's okay." Zhang Yiling replied perfunctorily.

Xu Xinghe sighed, and didn't care about it. He knew that he could even forget her birthday. If she hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that he had no right to be angry. Looking at Zhang Yiling's eyes, he actually felt that Miss Zhang was right. This gift should probably be satisfactory, otherwise it would not be worn around the neck without taking it off, Xu Xinghe also thinks that his vision is still good, "Cake is a high-calorie thing, if I don't eat that, I won't buy it, then you How do you celebrate your birthday? How did you celebrate your birthday in the past? What will you have for dinner?"

Xu Xinghe was really caught off guard when a phone call came all of a sudden.

"What's for dinner?" Zhang Yiling repeated.

Xu Xinghe blinked and said, "Yes, what to eat?"

Zhang Yiling took it for granted: "What you eat depends on what you know how to cook. Here, didn't you come here to buy vegetables? You pick what you are good at and cook."

Xu Xinghe was stunned and said, "Huh? I'm cooking?"

Zhang Yiling said: "Then what do you think I'm calling you for?"

Xu Xinghe smiled helplessly.

She didn't calm down, she had to let Xu Xinghe take care of her.

Zhang Yiling looked at him and said, "Don't you want to cook for me?"

As soon as he said this, yes, Xu Xinghe thought he deserved it, who made himself so careless.

Come on, I will serve you as long as I serve you. I don't know as much as you.

To women, especially his own, Xu Xinghe can afford to let go, "Okay, then I'll go and search for a few dishes, it's not too early now, it's time to do it, what do you have?" What do you like to eat?" Xu Xinghe didn't eat at noon, and he wanted to eat earlier.

Zhang Yiling said calmly, "I don't care."

"Then I'll just watch." Xu Xinghe said.

Zhang Yiling hummed, and continued watching TV, as if she didn't want to talk to Xu Xinghe any more.

Probably just such an attitude, it doesn't look like asking Xu Xinghe to celebrate her birthday. Fortunately, Xu Xinghe understands why sister Zhang is like this today.

However, it is difficult to serve.

If you forget your girlfriend's birthday and you have to remind her, you are destined to be uneasy.

It's all Lin Yingchun's fault, what are you going through all this time?

This tossing made me feel bad. When I was in a bad mood, my memory was not good, so I forgot things.

Well, it's all Lin Yingchun's fault.

Xu Xinghe shook his head, he could only let me comfort and mediate, he wandered to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, looking for something to wash and cut vegetables.

It's five o'clock.

Sister Zhang's house.

The lighting here is very good, and it is a duplex room on the top floor. The dim yellow sunset slowly spills into the room, which feels as soft and beautiful as a picture scroll.

Of course, the picture in the kitchen is not so mellow.

Xu Xinghe was covered in stinky sweat, and he was scraping fish scales. The smell of fish in the whole room was also on his body. Xu Xinghe couldn't help complaining, paralyzed, today we celebrate our birthday together for the first time, no It is said that red wine, champagne and flowers are beautiful, but there must be some atmosphere, right?
You look like your nanny.

"Are you ready?" Sister Zhang outside urged.

Xu Xinghe felt helpless and had nowhere to vent his anger, "It's not finished yet."

Zhang Yiling is called Jingui, and said: "Hurry up, or close the kitchen door, and I will be disturbed by the sound of scraping fish scales."

Xu Xinghe was so eager to go out and give her a kick, he also said to her, "You can eat ready-made here, so don't be so particular about it, okay?"

Zhang Yiling was very upset, "You say it again?"

Obviously you forgot my birthday and went to someone else's house, what's wrong with asking you to do something?
Ringing, ringing, the phone rang, it was Miss Zhang's call, so she didn't care about it anymore, she picked up the phone and said, "Hi, I...um...well, I see...OK, this matter In yesterday's meeting, I already said that I should contact the legal department for something, and I didn't invite them here just to sit around. If you can't handle this matter well, you should ask them not to come."

Xu Xinghe heard it, and thought that sister Zhang was not as irritable at work before, well, it seems that he has caused others to be scolded, so he shook his head helplessly, Xu Xinghe has almost cleaned up the fish, look at the time , let's do it.

fried fish.

stew.

stir fry.

Xu Xinghe was busy alone.

Elder sister Zhang is watching TV in the living room outside. Today she is sitting calmly, and she has no intention of coming to help at all. Besides, if you don’t help, don’t help. When the smell of oily smoke was too strong, he asked him to turn up the range hood. After a while, he told him not to put so much sugar in the cooking. She didn't like too sweet food, so she always gave orders there anyway.

Teeth itching with anger - this is completely unable to describe Xu Xinghe's current emotions.

Sin ah.

Should have thought of it earlier.

After there are more women, there will be too many bad things that will follow.

I can't wait to sit the woman to death with my ass - this description barely reflects Xu Xinghe's true thoughts now.

It's all so annoying!
What are you fussing about, you!
Are you able to come over to cook? ?

After closing the kitchen door heavily, Xu Xinghe couldn't see and feel calm when he came, and he didn't expect others to help. A few plates of fried dishes went out, "It's all ready, let's serve!"

As soon as I went out, I saw her still talking on the phone.

busy.

Sister Zhang has been flying all over the place recently, and from the tone of her voice, she seems to have decided to change her itinerary when she came back this time, in order to celebrate his birthday with him, eh, if you think about it this way, the anger that Xu Xinghe was angered by Sister Zhang before has dissipated Many, I blame myself, I am too special in Zhang Yiling's eyes, I forgot her birthday, even though sister Zhang is usually enough to let myself indulge, she must still have a little temper.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinghe thought about it, forget it, buddy don't bother with you, "Sister Zhang, let's eat, I'm a little tired this morning, my hands are sore, I don't know if I did it well, You can eat as much as you can, and there are two more dishes, I will take them."

Zhang Yiling hummed and put the phone on the table.

Xu Xinghe went to bring out the other dishes and rice, "By the way, what is your birthday this year?" After asking, he regretted it.

Sister Zhang didn't even look at him, and just ignored the words.

Xu Xinghe coughed, knowing that women are already at this age, so it must be difficult to ask her age, "Then what, is there still wine at home? It's not fun to celebrate your birthday without wine, you must drink something."

Sister Zhang pointed to a cabinet, "It's in there, take it yourself, I have something to do later, so I won't drink today."

"Okay, then you can drink tea." Xu Xinghe found a bottle of Guojiao from the cabinet. It seemed to be quite old and looked good. He opened it and poured it for himself without using chopsticks. He raised his glass, "Sister Zhang, I would like to toast you, and wish you will always be so young."

The corners of Zhang Yiling's eyes were still soft, but she touched the teacup with him indifferently, and took a sip anyway.

Xu Xinghe didn't care about her, drank the glass by himself, his stomach became warm after drinking, it was very comfortable, and the wine was delicious, "Phew, eat vegetables, try my cooking."

Sister Zhang has already eaten.

"How is it?" Xu Xinghe said with a smile, it wasn't the first time he ate it, but Xu Xinghe always liked to ask, and it was quite comfortable to get the approval of people he cared about.

Zhang Yiling said: "That's it, it can be eaten."

Xu Xinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, today my buddy spent a long time frying the dishes, and the co-author is an evaluation of "eatable"?
Xu Xinghe took a sip himself, he performed exceptionally well today, it was obviously delicious compared to usual.

"You try this again."

"Well, it's okay."

Xu Xinghe didn't ask any more questions at the end. He ate vegetables while drinking. He was really hungry, and he didn't care about any comments. He started to gorge himself. He couldn't help it. He didn't eat in the morning and noon. Half a day, half a day of tossing on the road, and a long time of cooking when I arrived at Sister Zhang's house.

He was already starving, but now the more he eats, the more hungry he feels, and he doesn't pay attention to his demeanor anymore, and there is no need for this in front of Sister Zhang, what is the relationship between the two of them.

Zhang Yiling put down her chopsticks and pursed her lips and asked, "How hungry have you been?"

Xu Xinghe let out a hilarious voice, and said, "Isn't it these two days, our company is going to participate in the dual election meeting? I'm busy, I haven't eaten all day, and I'm very hungry. Don't just look at me, you eat too."

Sister Zhang listened, and her complexion improved a lot.

Sister Zhang eats very slowly, slowly and gracefully. This may be the habit and quality she has developed since she was a child. After all, everyone came out of it. Drinking again, the meal dragged on for a long time.

After dinner, I looked at my watch. It was past seven o'clock.

Xu Xinghe didn't bother to wash the dishes today, he patted his belly and drank the last bit of wine, and he didn't move anymore. He washes vegetables and cooks, so he still washes the dishes?Go ahead.Sister Zhang didn't move, she didn't even leave the dining table, she turned on the TV, watched for a long time, then Sister Zhang picked up her little foot and lightly kicked Xu Xinghe's thigh, and yelled: "Well, go wash the dishes."

Xu Xinghe shook his head, reached out and grabbed her slender ankle, "No, I'll wash your feet for you."
