Chapter 126 Happy Birthday

His tone was still calm, but there was a kind of indulgence in it that he himself was not aware of.

Su Xia was confused and thought:

If Xu Jiaojiao was disobedient at home, would Xu Jiqing also have a cold face and speak seriously like this:

Can you go to school now?

Can you eat your meal obediently?

Can I close my eyes and go to sleep?

Woohoo, it’s so nice to have a brother.

Su Xia's chest was pounding, her eyes looked straight ahead, she pursed her lips and nodded.

The lights in the cinema were dim, and all the audience members only had eyes for the movie on the big screen. Only she was blatantly absent-minded, and the only thing in her mind was the hand that was holding her tightly.

Although Su Xia has never had a normal relationship in her two lives, she has read a lot of books.

Don’t girls’ comics say that when you first fall in love, you just hold hands lightly, with your fingers intertwined at most, and no one dares to take a step forward?

Then why, when it came to Xu Jiqing, things went wrong.

His fingers were already one joint longer than hers, and he held her so tightly. She just wanted to move a little, and just as her little finger stretched out a little, it was pushed back again, leaving her no room to maneuver.

It was late autumn and the air circulation in the cinema was very comfortable, not hot at all.

Su Xia's face was about to burn, and she couldn't help but raise her other hand to fan herself.

I don’t know how much of the plot I got into, but after a while, the movie switched to the protagonist’s work scene.

There were a few seconds of racing scene, with a close-up shot of a figure wearing a silver helmet whizzing past. The audience who had been watching the movie quietly before were in an uproar. The two girls in the front seat covered their mouths and gasped softly, looked at each other and nodded frantically, and shook hands several times.

Su Xia took the opportunity to pull his hand out.

Xu Jiqing turned and looked at her.

She thought he didn't understand why everyone around him was so excited, so she leaned over and explained to him in a whisper, "The technical double for that shot just now wasn't just any stunt driver; it was this year's F1 champion."

"Because he's the female lead's boyfriend, I heard he didn't ask for a penny. He came here purely for charity."

Xu Jiqing looked at her and said nothing.

Su Xia thought about it again, clasped her hands and changed her words, "It's very likely that he's not just a boyfriend. From what I've read in the grapevine, it seems that he's already her fiancé."

In the past six months, the time she spends on her phone has dropped sharply, and she has been shipping CPs sporadically, and she can't even get a taste of the hot food produced by the ladies in the circle.

But even so, he still gets excited when he mentions the beautiful sister he likes, and his almond eyes sparkle.

She was wearing a cream-colored sweater today. The wool was very soft, which made her face look fair and smooth. Her lips were moistened by the Coke that Xu Jiqing bought before entering the venue, and her lips were full.

The new cinema has excellent acoustics.

The roar of the engine is so realistic that it makes you feel like you are at the racetrack.

Su Xia muttered to herself for a long time, and only realized something was wrong after she finished. She turned sideways to look, but Xu Jiqing hadn't spoken a word. His eyes were slightly lowered, and no one knew where he was looking.

She moved closer to him, almost touching his ear, "Can't you hear me? But I can't disturb you..."

The sentence was not finished in the end.

In the few seconds of darkness during the transition, Xu Jiqing suddenly turned his head and pecked Su Xia's lips.

It was as if a cool, dry wind blew by.

Soon, Su Xia didn't react much.

The white light came back on, and she held her breath and turned her head to look at him. The other person was sitting upright without changing his posture, and even his expression did not change.

Those light eyes looked straight ahead, their eyelids were very thin, and there was a kind of peace as if nothing had happened.

Did he really kiss her?

Or maybe it's hallucination caused by drinking too much Coke and the sugar level rising too quickly.

The feeling of envying Xu Jiaojiao for having a brother was just forgotten.

What replaced it was shame or annoyance, even Su Xia herself couldn't tell -

Xu Jiaojiao,

Why is your brother like this when it comes to love?

In the second half of the movie, Su Xia was completely speechless and sat quietly until the credits rolled.

Even when the staff showed up at the end to draw the lottery, she forgot how she was possessed by the God of Europe and the autographed poster she drew. When the show was over, she just lowered her head to check the queue progress on her phone and went to have the birthday dinner she had agreed on with Xu Jiqing.

There are many tourists in the Linjiang area, and there is no shortage of places to eat nearby, which is very inclusive.

You can eat a bowl of rice noodles at a roadside shop, or you can spend as much as you want.

Su Xia had made an appointment in advance with Xu Jiqing to treat them. She was afraid that he would do something unreasonable, so she picked an affordable hot pot restaurant first and selected the set meal in advance, resolutely refusing to browse the menu freely when she arrived at the restaurant.

It was almost seven o'clock on Sunday evening, the busiest time of the day. Every table was full of people and the air was filled with the hot smell of life.

There was a small cart beside the table filled with slices of meat, vegetables and mushrooms, and the pot was half tomato soup and half red oil, bubbling.

The store has a service where they hold up a light board and sing birthday songs for the birthday celebrants. They are so attentive that there is no need to tell them in advance, they can act at any time with just a glance. Su Xia was worried that Xu Jiqing would not like to make a fuss, so she quietly went to the bathroom to make a phone call, and repeatedly warned her that her friend was shy and should never come over.

As it turns out, man proposes, God disposes.

When the cake was delivered, the waiter who answered the phone had just left for the night shift. As soon as the cake box was placed on the table and the packaging was not even unpacked, the small speaker started to make a noise.

Shop assistants wearing spring headbands stood on the left and right, holding balloons and flowers, surrounding Xu Jiqing who was sitting on the sofa, waving their hands and dancing skillfully to the music.

"Today is your birthday, I send you my best wishes, may your special day have a bright smile."

"Light the candles, make a wish, and every dream will come true in the days ahead."

…

Their table was by the window, and the two of them were already eye-catching. When the birthday song started, the guests at the neighboring tables all looked over here, and they became the center of attention of the entire restaurant.

Su Xia's face flushed instantly, and she was at a loss for several seconds.

Seeing that Xu Jiqing opposite him was only stunned for a moment at first, without showing any obvious annoyance, and seemed quite calm, he finally loosened his fingers that were clenched around the tablecloth out of embarrassment.

The clerk who led the birthday song was a very cute girl with round glasses, a very cool girl among the cool girls.

Enter the main melody part.

“Say bye bye to all the troubles, and hi hi to all the happiness”

This place is not far from Jiang University. Both of them are not wearing school uniforms today, looking like a well-matched college couple.

Before she finished singing the first sentence, the girl tactfully handed over the small microphone in her hand, put it to Su Xia's mouth enthusiastically, and encouraged her to sing the next sentence with eager eyes.

Su Xia looked up.

He met Xu Jiqing's light brown glass-like eyes.

He listened the whole time, his expression silent but his body relaxed.

Su Xia was no longer shy. She took a deep breath, and when she raised her eyes again, there was a warm light in her eyes, and she looked over shyly and sincerely.

She hadn't sung for a long time, let alone in front of so many strangers, so she was a little nervous when she opened her mouth.

A soft, hoarse voice with no singing skills at all.

But it is filled with the purest love of this year.

"Happy birthday, dear darling."

I wish you happiness forever.

Happiness forever.
