Cappuccino Rhapsody

Ling Jiangyuan lay on the sofa for a while before recovering. Qi Xu came out of the shower and kicked his feet hanging outside the sofa, saying, "Go take a bath."

"I don't want to move anymore." Ling Jiangyuan looked at Qi Xu, rarely acting like a baby, "I'm so tired."

Qi Xu looked at him speechlessly: "Do you think I will wash it for you?" His expression was indifferent, as if he really didn't intend to do it.Ling Jiangyuan's enthusiasm was immediately quenched by a basin of cold water. He was silent for a while, sat up on the edge of the sofa, and walked to the bathroom.

Qi Xu sat on the sofa and looked sideways at his back.

Ling Jiangyuan walked to the door of the bathroom, suddenly turned his head to look at him, lowered his eyes and said, "Xiaoxu, I know you won't forgive me, but you don't have such extravagant hopes." How dare he say that at that moment he really She thought that he had returned to eight years ago, and Qi Xu would do anything for him.

Qi Xu snorted lightly: "This is the best, don't let me have too many other troubles."

Ling Jiangyuan felt sore all over, and couldn't even hold the doorknob. He was silent for a long time before he let out an "um".

"Also," Qi Xu stood up halfway, kneeling on the sofa with one leg, and said calmly, "If there is someone who wants to marry again, please let me know at any time, lest I become a mistress for no reason and cause trouble."

Ling Jiangyuan was stunned instead: "What?"

Qi Xu frowned and reminded: "Lin Xieyang."

The moment these three words came out of his mouth, Ling Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood, he was like enlightened, and the spiritual platform was completely clear.No wonder Lin Xieyang has been pestering him all this time, it turned out that she had such an idea, and what she did seemed to have some effect.

Ling Jiangyuan's heart, which had just fallen to hell, suddenly hung up high, hanging in heaven.

He smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows at Qi Xu and said, "Are you jealous, Xiao Xu?"

There was a rare moment of panic on Qi Xu's face, and Ling Jiangyuan saw it clearly and clearly, which gave him another glimmer of hope.

But soon Qi Xu calmed down, sat back on the sofa, and said in a flat voice: "You are quite narcissistic."

Ling Jiangyuan went into the bathroom in a rare good mood to clean himself up.

Perhaps the phone call that night had an effect, Lin Xieyang avoided Ling Jiangyuan for nearly a week.Sometimes Ling Jiangyuan felt embarrassed when he saw Lin Xieyang, he guessed that Lin Xieyang must have heard what he was doing that night.

The night before his birthday, Ling Jiangyuan received a call from his aunt, saying that it was too troublesome to come here, so he asked Lin Xieyang to help him celebrate his birthday and wished him a happy birthday.

Ling Jiangyuan didn't refuse the other party's red envelope, anyway, he would always pack a bigger one back during the Chinese New Year.

Ling Jiangyuan finally met Lin Xieyang.Lin Xieyang seemed to have forgotten about that matter, and smiled happily: "Brother, your birthday is tomorrow, I'm almost ready."

"What are you going to do?"

"Have a party!" Lin Xieyang said, "I've been buying materials for the past few days, and I've bought a lot. I'll come to your house to decorate in the evening. Call everyone from your band to help you celebrate your birthday ah."

"...No need," Ling Jiangyuan said helplessly, "I'm not interested in parties."

"Hey," Lin Xieyang said sadly, "You don't accept my little sister's wishes? This is the first time I've taken the initiative to celebrate your birthday since we met."

The little girl looked pitiful, and Ling Jiangyuan really couldn't bear to refuse for a while.

Lin Xieyang pestered her like this several times, and Ling Jiangyuan agreed.He took the initiative to invite the rest of the band.

Lin Xieyang arranged the room like a KTV, and even arranged a lot of colorful lights. It is actually the most popular outfit for young people nowadays. What is it called Ins style? Lin Xieyang went to toss about it, but he didn't expect the final result to be the same.

During the day, Ling Jiangyuan went to the hospital to see his mother, and came back at noon to prepare ingredients.Everyone made an appointment at six o'clock in the evening, but Liu Jiajia and the others came over after three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Xieyang punched and kicked Liu Jiajia jokingly, asking him to go in and help.

After six o'clock in the evening, everyone arrived.The hot pot was gurgling open, and a group of people sat on a large table and began to put meat in it.

Qi Xu sat across from Ling Jiangyuan, fiddling with his phone carelessly.

"It's so rare to have such an opportunity." Xie Congjia said, "It's just a pity that my wife is not here."

"Haven't I called you yet?" Liu Jiajia asked him, "You're a little angry now, isn't it time to bring her back?"

"Well, I'm planning," Xie Congjia nodded, "I plan to bring her back at the beginning of next month."

"Let's have a drink, everyone." Liu Jiajia raised his glass and said, "Happy 35th birthday to Lao Ling!"

"Oh my God." Lin Xieyang covered his mouth and sighed, "Brother, you are so old!"

A group of people laughed "haha".

Ling Jiangyuan didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, half of his 30s would have passed.

But Qi Xu is still very young.

Ling Jiangyuan drank the full glass of wine in his hand, and the food in the hot pot poured pot after pot.From the beginning to the end, he didn't talk to Qi Xu much.

Qi Xu was exceptionally silent tonight.

Ling Jiangyuan took the initiative to touch him with a cup, and smiled softly: "Don't you want to say something? Xiaoxu."

Qi Xu glanced at him and said lightly, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Ling Jiangyuan smiled, "Do you have any birthday presents?"

"Hey, I'm ready!" Liu Jiajia responded, and immediately stood up to take out her birthday present.

Liu Jiajia prepared a drum stick, Xie Congjia prepared a bottle of red wine, Li Lang also prepared a drum stick, and Lin Xieyang prepared a CHANEL belt.All eyes were on Qi Xu, waiting for his gift.

Ling Jiangyuan is also looking forward to it, he hasn't received a gift from the other party in eight years, how could he not look forward to it.

Even if it is an unintentional gift, Ling Jiangyuan is looking forward to it.

But Qi Xu just raised his eyes, took a sip of his wine and said, "Sorry, I forgot."

"Why are you doing this!" Lin Xieyang stared, "You can even forget birthday presents."

"That's right, Qi Xu, you're going too far." Liu Jiajia agreed, "It's a birthday present after all."

Qi Xu was attacked by everyone on the table, Ling Jiangyuan's hand under the table was quietly clenched, his nails dug into his palm, and the bursts of pain made him wake up instead, he thought maybe this was normal, how could Qi Xu Prepare a gift for him.It's just that I didn't expect to disdain even a perfunctory gift.

Ling Jiangyuan smiled and said: "Hey, don't be like this, isn't it just a birthday present, just forget it and make it up later."

Qi Xu took a sip of wine: "I don't intend to make it up."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was strangely stagnant for a moment.The smile on Ling Jiangyuan's face froze, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

No matter how tall Lin Xieyang was, she also realized that the atmosphere was not right. She cleared her throat, but did not dare to speak again.

It was Ling Jiangyuan's cell phone ringing suddenly that broke the silence.

Lin Xieyang quickly helped Ling Jiangyuan take the phone from the coffee table, and said as he walked, "Brother, it's Sister Baiying."

So the atmosphere became more awkward.

Ling Jiangyuan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qi Xu, then went to the balcony to answer the phone.

With a "bang", Qi Xu suddenly put down the glass, but only half of the glass of beer swung out and spilled on the table. Lin Xieyang swallowed, looked at Liu Jiajia, and asked with his lips: "What's the matter? ?”

Liu Jiajia acted as a good person, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Bai Ying for a long time."

"Yeah." Xie Congjia rushed to break the boundless silence.

Only Li Lang lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and was speechless.

Ling Jiangyuan came in from the balcony after answering the phone, and seeing the strange atmosphere in the room, he smiled and said, "Why are you so quiet?"

"Sister Bai called." Liu Jiajia blinked and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Just happy birthday." Ling Jiangyuan sat down on the seat and said, "Otherwise, what else can I say?"

"That's true." Liu Jiajia nodded, "How is she doing now? It should be good, right?"

"good."

"Yeah," Liu Jiajia continued with an awkward smile, "I think it's a good life, after all, her family is rich, and she has talent... Speaking of which, you still remember that when Lao Ling was planning to go abroad, there was an investment Is anyone going to fund our band, that person is Sister Bai."

Xie Congjia raised his head suddenly, his eyes flickered with astonishment: "It's her?"

"That's right." Liu Jiajia rubbed her chin and blinked, "I didn't tell you all this time? I must have been too excited at the time, and then too angry, so I forgot to tell you all the time."

When he said this, he raised his eyes to look at Qi Xu: "Hey Qi Xu, do you know about this?"

He only glanced at it, then immediately looked away.

Qi Xu's eyes were too terrifying, with a bit of inexplicable resentment in his sternness, he looked in Ling Jiangyuan's direction without blinking.He saw that Ling Jiangyuan was covered in cold sweat, and couldn't help but clenched the wine glass tightly.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was about to speak when Qi Xu said, "I don't know."

"You don't even know?" Liu Jiajia touched her chin and said, "Hey, it seems so. At first, Sister Bai contacted me directly, and then I told Lao Ling. I thought Lao Ling would tell you, but it turned out Didn't say anything? Old Ling?" Liu Jiajia lightly bumped Ling Jiangyuan's shoulder.

"Yeah." Ling Jiangyuan lowered his eyes and said, "It's been so long, so don't mention it."

"There are so many things that everyone doesn't know." Qi Xu raised his eyebrows, the anger in his eyes dissipated, and was replaced by indifference, "Is there one less thing?"

"Let's have a drink, everyone." Ling Jiangyuan pursed his lips, raised his head to look at him, but finally seized the opportunity to raise his glass, "Happy birthday to me again."

"Happy birthday!"

Qi Xu also raised his cup.

His cup hit Ling Jiangyuan's cup heavily, making a crisp "clang".
