Chapter 140 Happy Birthday

"Nanxing." It was Feng Xiaomei who was speaking on the other end of the line. "It's your birthday today. Do you want to come to Xi'an Garden for dinner? I'll ask Quan's mom to prepare your favorite dishes for you."

Xiao Nanxing said softly, "Let's come over tomorrow night."

Pei Zhengping still has to come and apologize, so she won't go today. In fact, she is still worried that today will not go smoothly.

She didn't want to trouble her, but if she didn't go over, she would start to have wild thoughts again.

Feng Xiaomei was very happy. "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you to come over for dinner tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, red envelopes for transfers popped up one after another on WeChat.

Among the people in the Beijing dinner group and the Pei family group, Tang Man, Tang Fei, Master, and Grandma Pei received the largest red envelopes, which were extremely simple and unpretentious.

Xiao Nanxing didn't hesitate and accepted everything with great joy.

Soon, happy birthday messages were posted in both groups, and even Pei's father, despite his busy schedule, was very down-to-earth and sent a congratulations.

Ms. Tang said, "Nanxing, go buy whatever you want. I'll buy you a gift when you come to Beijing."

Then he tagged Pei Zhengping, "Spend a good birthday with Nanxing."

Pei Zhengping: "As you wish."

Xiao Nanxing held the phone with a smile on her face. It must have been Pei Zhengping who leaked it. He made such a big fuss about it, which made her feel very embarrassed.

But long live happiness.

She expressed her gratitude, and Ji Ruoxing tagged her, "Describe your feelings later. This is my cousin's first time as a chef, so I have to remember it."

Xiao Changan: "Don't ruin my reputation as the chef of Changan Restaurant. If Dr. Xiao doesn't eat well, don't be polite and continue to spur him on."

Xiao Nanxing covered his face, ahhhh, does everyone know that Pei Zhengping prepared a big meal for him today?

Doesn’t he know what it means to be low-key?

Secretary Pei said that there was no point in being low-key. He loved his girlfriend in an open and aboveboard way.

When Xiao Nanxing woke up from his nap at noon, Pei Zhengping had already changed into home clothes and an apron and was busy in the kitchen. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li were just helping out today.

Xiao Nanxing leaned over the kitchen doorway and poked his head in. "Comrade Dajun, do you need my help?"

Pei Zhengping flipped the spoon in one hand and read his notes in the other. He smiled and shook his head in a serious manner, "Birthday boy, you can go watch TV. You are the boss today."

Xiao Nanxing narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Okay, thank you all for your hard work~~"

Pei Zhengping: "I thought you would be polite."

"You expect me to be polite?"

"That's not necessary."

Xiao Nanxing then sat down on the sofa and waited for his feast.

An hour and a half later, eight dishes were served on the table, including steamed king crab, sweet and sour pork ribs, lotus root soup, spicy chicken, beer duck, braised pork with preserved vegetables, etc., all of which were her favorites.

I don’t know what it tastes like yet, but the color looks tempting.

At the request of his relatives and friends, Xiao Nanxing took videos and photos from all angles and sent them to the group as a souvenir.

Qian Yunan: "You are feeding dog food."

Xiao Changan: "Dow!"

Ji Ruoxing: "I want to eat! Next time, let my cousin chef treat everyone."

The following are all seconding motions.

Ms. Tang: "The child has finally grown up. Come on, give him a red envelope to celebrate."

Xiao Nanxing covered his mouth and laughed, actively grabbing the red envelopes.

When they were the only two left in the room, Pei Zhengping poured her a glass of fruit wine and said, "This is my grandfather's treasure. Try it. It's not intoxicating."

Xiao Nanxing took a sip and found it sweet with just a hint of alcohol. "Is this peach wine?"

"Yes, there is a peach forest in Tang Yi Garden. It bears a lot of fruits. We make wine when we can't eat them all."

Xiao Nanxing was inexplicably in a good mood and picked up his chopsticks. "Next, I have to try Chef Pei's cooking."

Pei Zhengping said politely, "Please let Dr. Xiao taste it."

Xiao Nanxing drank the soup first. He noticed someone's expectant eyes and smiled dimples. "Okay, Secretary Pei can be a househusband from now on."

Pei Zhengping looked at her with a smile and took a bite himself. Hmm, it tasted okay. "Doctor Xiao, are you hinting at a proposal?"

Xiao Nanxing was puzzled, "No, how did you know I was hinting at you?"

"I'm only your cook and I'm only with you, so is this a hint or something?"

Xiao Nanxing smacked her lips, "I've discovered that compared to your cooking skills, your lip skills are top-notch."

Pei Zhengping smiled, his eyes sweeping across her lips. "I accept your words with a smile. Doctor Xiao has experienced this before, and his comments are indeed very pertinent."

Xiao Nanxing almost choked. She damn well understood the implication of his words and glared at him fiercely, "I'm happy today, don't force me to block you."

Pei Zhengping took a sip of fruit wine and smiled brightly, "I was wrong. Are you punishing me by making me try harder to coax you tonight?"

Xiao Nanxing rolled his eyes at him.

The two of them finished the meal quietly, chatting with each other, and slowly, time came to five o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiao Nanxing patted his forehead. The alcohol content of this wine was not low, so why did he feel a little drunk?

Taking advantage of her drunkenness, she muttered, "There are only a few hours left. Nothing will happen, right?"

Hearing her words, Pei Zhengping felt extremely distressed at that moment.

He was never superstitious, but at this moment he wanted to travel through time, go to the ten-year-old Xiao Nanxing, take her away, and give her the happiest birthday.

Pei Zhengping pulled the person over and put him in his arms. "It'll be fine."

Even if the sky falls, he will hold it up.

Xiao Nanxing stayed in the nest obediently, interlocking his fingers, drawing strength from them and replied, "Yes, it will be fine."

As if to cheer myself up.

She just didn't believe that she would always be unlucky and every birthday would end in misery.

"Let's go to the rooftop to play?" Pei Zhengping suggested as there was still plenty of time left.

There is a small garden and an open-air bar on the top floor. He had asked Li Xia to arrange it long ago. The two of them will settle down in this building today and must spend the day in peace.

He simply carried the person upstairs.

Xiao Nanxing was particularly well-behaved today, which made Pei Zhengping feel very sad.

The sun was setting, and the crimson sunset glow of maple leaves filled the sky, creating a magnificent and magical scene.

The two of them lay side by side in the rocking chair, and even without speaking, the air seemed sweet.

Xiao Nanxing leaned against him and gradually fell asleep.

She thought, there are only a few hours left, she can just fall asleep.

However, perhaps out of anxiety or fear, she woke up at nine o'clock in the evening from a half-sleep state, wailing, "How am I going to spend the night?"

She will definitely have insomnia tonight because she slept too much during the day.

Pei Zhengping moved his numb shoulders and chuckled, "Don't worry about that, leave it to me."

Xiao Nanxing laughed at him.

After he finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and obeyed him.

If she exhausts herself, will she be able to sleep well?

The experimental results were good. After two or three hours, Xiao Nanxing didn't want to move a finger and fell asleep almost immediately.

In a trance, she heard him say, "Xiao Nanxing, happy birthday."

Xiao Nanxing seemed to hear the clock strike midnight, and he said happy birthday to her at the last second.

She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and said, "Thank you, Pei Zhengping."

She also said happy birthday to herself.

One new morning, she woke up at six o'clock on time, felt the new ring on her finger, and stretched her body.

Someone lazily hugged her and said, "I have to apologize to my mother-in-law today. Ms. Nanxing, can you give me some advice?"
