Chi Guang

At ten o'clock in the evening, Mu's villa.

The mahogany dining table is full of exquisite snacks, Yin Zhimei laughs and talks, and she gets up from time to time to eat and add tea. Mu Shihai picks out the sugar cake that the woman puts in his bowl, and stirs the coffee cup with a teaspoon to make a tinkling sound. After the collision, Mu Xingyong was upset and couldn't help scolding: "Can you behave yourself? Who allowed you to touch your hands at the table? You have no education at all!"

The clanging stopped abruptly, and the glutinous rice cakes in the bowl were poked into a pool of mud and stuck to the handle of the spoon, like a ball of swollen and spoiled mold.Looking at his expressionless face, Mu Xingyong held back his anger and said, "Have you finished sending out the invitation?"

"Ah."

"Yo, how many did you call?"

"Six."

"Every year, your mother organizes the birthday party for you, and I never see you say thank you."

"Since it's my mother," the glutinous rice was thoroughly stirred into a mess, like white ash wet by the sewer pipe, Mu Shihai said slowly: "That's what she should do, do I need to say thank you?"

Mu Xingyong was speechless, and the dining table fell into an awkward silence.On the opposite side, Mu Shiyu and his elder brother looked at each other sharply, but before he could hide the fear and disgust in his eyes, the hand holding the chopsticks froze for an instant, not daring to move.Mu Shihai looked away, not wanting to fight against a seven-year-old child.

The man said again: "By the way, your cousin Yin Xu will also come on your birthday, so be polite and don't make trouble and embarrass me."

"Yin, Xu?"

"Yes, Xiao Xu said that he misunderstood you when he was injured and hospitalized last time, and this time he used his birthday to apologize to you." Mu Xingyong drank the last sip of tea in the bowl and pushed the table down: "I warn you You, Mu Shihai, besides your classmates, many uncles and uncles will also come, if you got into trouble that day and ruined my business, you should not forget how you were dealt with when you were young?" After saying that, he hugged Mu Shihai. Shi Yu left the table and went upstairs together.

"I haven't forgotten," Mu Shihai muttered to himself, watching helplessly as the last cold plum jelly on the table was dumped into the trash can: "How could I forget?"

The three days and two nights locked in the small attic, the bastards and beasts who came from the mouth of the biological father, the pouring rainy night when they walked home penniless, the forgotten New Year's Eve in the boarding school, and those who survived with no explanation hit.

"Xiao Hai, mom is also doing it for your own good." Mu Shihai turned his head around when Yin Zhimei was standing behind him, and his tender eyes did not hide the poison piercing his heart: "After all, we are a family. Let’s take advantage of your birthday to talk about the misunderstanding, so that we can live in harmony, don’t you think?”

A hearty sense of revenge erupted in the woman's heart, waiting for Mu Shihai to throw bowls and tables like thunder, causing the world to turn upside down like before.

The sound of dripping water in the kitchen became ear-piercing and sharp, his fists tightened, his veins and knuckles were faintly white, his teeth bit his lips, and a stream of rust filled his throat, Mu Shihai seemed to be stretched to the point of breaking bow, swallowed the blood, and said hoarsely: "Of course;"

"Family, where did the misunderstanding come from?"

Only blood feud.

"That would be the best," Yin Zhimei smiled: "Mom also hopes that you can have an unforgettable birthday."

On a moonless night, the frost is like white temples, melting and fading into the vast and dark twilight.

Before going to bed, Xu Chichuan sneaked into his parents' bedroom, squatted on the edge of the bed and lay his head on Shen Sijing's lap: "Mom, what gift is unique and impressive?"

On the second day after receiving the invitation, he started looking for birthday presents, but after asking all the people who received the invitation, he decided to rely on himself—after all, basketball, mouse, keyboard, clothes, razors, sneakers and "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" ... They are not worthy of Young Master Mu's noble demeanor, and may even be kicked out by the young master on the spot.

Shen Sijing put down the book, stretched out her hand and pinched her son's face: "I made it myself, or the other party likes it very much."

"Did you do it yourself?" Xu Chichuan turned up, hugged the Queen Mother heavily, and rushed out the door: "I see! Thank you, Mom!"

Xu Youhua shook the newspaper in his hand, and looked at his wife: "You won't fall in love, kid?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Sijing rolled her eyes: "My child doesn't know about it? How could Xiao Chuan fall in love early?"

Two kilometers away, the Nanqiao District is still brightly lit. The cake shop opened in the center of the CBD, the black velvet cake in the glass window flashes dreamily under the light, and the beautiful sister in a small apron finally sees off the last customer.Lin Yue took off her apron and closed the store door, her face without makeup was like a beautiful girl in March, her mobile phone buzzed at the cash register, her eyes lit up when she saw a call, she cleared her voice and spoke softly, not at all the witch that Lu Miaoyi said Xiang: "Hello? Xiao Chuan? What can I do with my sister?"

"You want to learn how to make cakes? Okay, just come here, my sister is always here."

"Yeah, okay, then come and find me in the store at noon next Friday."

"No, no, no, I won't charge you. My sister bakes a few more egg tarts and you can finish them."

"No, don't leave it to that bastard Lu Miaoyi, a game chicken is not worthy of a cake made by my mother."

"Okay, then I'll prepare the materials and wait for you, so good, okay, you should go to bed early too, good night~"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chichuan rolled happily on the bed with his pillow in his arms. Now he only needs to wait for the noon leave to sneak out of school to make a cake, and then prepare another gift, which will surely satisfy the picky young master.
