Delayed confession

On the quiet street, the girl walked quickly towards the main entrance of the community with a dizzy head. Because it was too early, the security guard at the back door had not yet arrived at work, so she had to take a detour.

Xu Weixi, who had finally returned home and was planning to take a nap first, was startled when she entered the house by two people who were decorating the house.

Looking at the latte art in Gu Mochuan's hand and the balloon next to Shen Ruoxuan, she was stunned.

The two people opposite were also dumbfounded and looked at each other.

How did the person come back from the gate?

When did you go out?

"Are there any classmates coming?" Xu Weixi put down the breakfast in his hand and asked.

Looking at the decorations in front of her, she naturally understood that Shen Ruoxuan had some classmates coming.

However, he used to take his classmates out to play, and this was the first time he held a party at home.

She was thinking that if there were too many people and it was too noisy, she would go out and stay for two days.

Shen Ruoxuan suddenly jumped from the sofa to her side with a firework tube in his hand, "Aunt, happy birthday."

With a loud bang, Xu Weixi, who was still dizzy, fell to the ground.

"Aunt, did you steal landmines last night?" Shen Ruoxuan quickly helped her up and sat her on a chair.

Xu Weixi didn't care about the boy's middle school quotes. She pressed her brows uncomfortably, bowed and prepared to go back to her room.

Perhaps the sleeping pills still had some effect, Xu Weixi slept until noon.

The sun was hanging high in the sky, and its dazzling sunlight shone through the curtains, forming a ray of light that swayed on the girl's slightly bluish lower eyelids.

The girl narrowed her eyes, fumbled for her cell phone from the bedside, looked at the time display which showed 12:35, and struggled to get up from the bed.

After a simple wash, she opened the door wearing comfortable beige home clothes and slippers of the same color.

Looking at the lace decorations all over the roof and the balloons with the words "Happy Birthday" on the wall, the memories of the morning gradually came back to me.

"Aunt, you're awake."

Xu Weixi nodded, looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, and asked, "What time will your classmates come?"

The boy scratched his head in confusion, "I didn't invite any classmates to come?"

"you're awake?"

Looking at the man in front of him wearing a cooking apron, Xu Weixi's mind froze for a moment.

Why is he here?

I tried hard to recall and searched through the fragments of memory of entering the house in the morning.

Gu Mochuan didn’t go home last night?

If this is true, I need to have a serious talk with Shen Ruoxuan.

Seeing Xu Weixi was about to turn around and go back to the house, Shen Ruoxuan quickly pulled her to the side of the sofa, "Aunt, I don't know how to do a question, can you show it to me?"

While Xu Weixi was looking at the questions, he waved to Gu Mochuan, indicating that the longevity noodles could be served.

"Here, add an auxiliary line and use the relationship between diagonals..." Xu Weixi casually wrote down the steps to solve the problem on the draft paper.

Shen Ruoxuan looked at the kitchen door, stalling for time. After receiving Gu Mochuan's hint, he quickly solved the problem.

"Aunt, let's eat first. I know the answer to this question."

How could Xu Weixi not see through his little trick, and said casually, "You can only play games if you get 80 points on this test paper. After dinner, I will supervise you."

Under Gu Mochuan's comforting gaze, the boy pouted his lips in grievance.

"Aunt, I wish you a happy birthday, can't you just let me go?"

"It is precisely because you value my birthday that I have to be more strict with you, so that you can get into a good university and earn more money in the future... I can also benefit from it, right?"

"The longevity noodles are ready, let's eat them first."

Xu Weixi looked at the man sitting opposite her, her eyes scanning the latte art above her head for a few times, and couldn't help but speak,

"Teacher Gu, Shen Ruoxuan will take the college entrance examination in a few months. Shouldn't you focus on his studies?"

"Aunt, it was me who suggested...doing this. Don't blame Teacher Gu." The boy's voice became weaker and weaker as he explained under Xu Weixi's gaze.

"He is just a child and doesn't know the importance of the college entrance examination. Teacher Gu, you graduated from a famous foreign university, don't you know it?"

"You should have a happy birthday. If you don't like it, I won't do it this way next time, okay?"

Originally, she thought there would be a debate, but when she heard the man's tone of coaxing a child, Xu Weixi opened her mouth, but she paused and swallowed the rest of her words.

What happened yesterday was still an unsolved mystery, and the fact that she unconsciously took her anger out on Gu Mochuan made her thoughts even more confused.

The other person clearly didn't do anything and didn't pester you. It was your relatives who asked them for help, which led to the current situation.

What were you doing just now?

It must be a side effect of the sleeping pills!

Xu Weixi rubbed his hair irritably and calmed himself down again.

"I'm sorry, Shen Ruoxuan is ignorant. Next time if he makes unreasonable requests and you are not comfortable refusing, you can tell me directly."

Under the man's gaze, she raised her cup and said, "Thank you for the longevity noodles and this feast. I'll treat you next time."

Seeing the girl putting on her thick armor again, Gu Mochuan smiled as if he was used to it and clinked glasses with her.

"Happy birthday!"

The boy next to him looked at his aunt who was on edge one second and smiling the next.

He muttered quietly, "A fickle woman."

With Shen Ruoxuan deliberately livening up the atmosphere, the three of them had a fairly warm lunch.

……

In the kitchen, Xu Weixi was washing dishes and listening to English. After hearing the WeChat notification tone, he put down his chopsticks and opened WeChat.

Joey [Xibao, happy birthday! Rose! Rose! Rose! ]

Joey [The gift is displayed at the door, please check it out! ]

Attached is a courier delivery map and order number.

Xu Weixi【Thank you】Cute JPG

The two chatted for a while and ended the conversation by saying that Joey was going to work.

Xu Weixi closed his phone and scooped something out, only to find that the chopsticks he had put in the sink were not there. From the corner of his eye, he saw a man who had come in at some point wiping the dishes.

The light shines through the glass, revealing his superior profile, beautiful fingers, and that slightly worn apron, making him look like the down-and-out male protagonist in an idol drama.

Cold and pitiful.

Although she didn't believe in the nonsense about severing ties, judging from his behavior these days, he must have had a quarrel with his family and ran away from home.

Well, rich people really have unique ideas.

Gu Mochuan posed as the book said and waited for the girl to look over, but unexpectedly the doorbell rang. He watched her leave and silently lowered his head to do the work he bought from Shen Ruoxuan.

"Please check your order." The man spoke in a low voice and lowered his head deliberately.

Xu Weixi looked at it suspiciously, signed his name and prepared to close the door.

But she found that the courier had not left yet, and she looked at the woman opposite her who was covered tightly in confusion.

Judging from her body shape, she should be a woman with a good figure. Even such an ugly windbreaker can't hide her curves.

“Happy birthday, baby!”

As the familiar voice sounded, a bright smile appeared on the girl's face.
