I didn't mean anything by it, but I was almost scared to death by the sound of them pulling the confetti canisters.
Especially when the door is opened and it's pitch black inside, suddenly a dark thing jumps out.
By the time she finally came to her senses, they had already turned on the lights. "Happy birthday!"
Upon closer inspection, the person holding the spray can of confetti was none other than his nemesis, his deskmate Xu Cheng.
Her first thought was, "How did this guy end up here?"
When she looked to the other side, good heavens, Su Yan was there too. Couldn't she at least have a peaceful birthday?
When Cheng Cheng saw that this guy looked dazed, she knew her plan was right. She knew it! The key was to start with a sullen tone and then build up to a sullen one. This was sure to move her best friend to tears.
See? This guy is so moved he's practically speechless.
Cheng Cheng: Are you touched?
Gu Luoxi: I dare not move.
She casually put the birthday hat on her head.
"Next, I will serve the female lead." He said, reaching out to help Gu Luoqi into the room.
Gu Luoqi: ...
"There's absolutely no need for that." Although she wasn't socially awkward, she wasn't socially awkward to that extent either.
"Oh, oh, oh, why are you being so polite? We've known each other for a long time, why are you being so polite?" Cheng Cheng's voice was incredibly loud.
Gu Luoqi sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. How could she possibly shut this guy up? What sins had she committed in her past life? Heaven didn't have to punish her like this.
"Honestly, you didn't even tell me about such a big event as your birthday. That's really not very nice of you." Xu Cheng patted her arm.
He had to join in the fun, which conveniently helped him avoid his parents urging him to study.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?" Gu Luoqi's expression was incredibly forced.
We were just planning to have a casual meal at home, we never expected them to pull this stunt.
Li Mingya noticed Gu Luoqi's embarrassment. She had originally intended to offer some suggestions, but then she thought that this guy was also someone who didn't follow the usual path, and maybe he just liked this kind of thing, so she didn't say anything.
But now it seems... she was right not to say it. Seeing Gu Luoqi so embarrassed, she felt both sympathy and a little satisfaction.
Gu Luoqi could see her gloating, and could only silently vow in his heart that this girl would just have to wait!
Then, as she walked the next few steps, a strange feeling arose in her heart.
If she had to find a word to describe it, it would be "feeling right at home".
She glanced at Qi Sheng in the corner, who was obediently holding a tray. She thought it was a good thing that he hadn't joined in the fun, otherwise she might as well have let him die today.
A group of people surrounded her as she entered the house. To be honest, she felt a little awkward, but also a sense of warmth rose in her heart.
Looking at the room's decor, she knew her own father had put in a lot of effort. Look at all the bright red and purple, and that huge "囍" character; if you didn't know better, you'd think she was getting married today.
At this moment, she had a question: Did all the people in this room think that this arrangement was okay?
But if you show your dislike too obviously, it feels a bit impolite, especially when your own father is sweating so much from setting all this up that his hair is all wet.
So we should respect his hard work. She opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't come up with a decent compliment. In the end, she could only say, "Today... our family is really festive."
"Of course, today is my precious daughter's eighteenth birthday, so of course we have to make it a big celebration." Mr. Gu received her affirmation, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
He knew his daughter would like this style, but they just didn't believe him.
Doesn't he know what his own daughter is like on a normal day?
Gu Luoqi: "..."
To be honest, judging from this setup, it doesn't look like a coming-of-age ceremony at all; it looks more like an 80th birthday celebration.
Oh well, I'll just have to make do. I was originally planning to wear my most beautiful princess dress and make it a bit more special, but it seems I'm glad I didn't. Otherwise, I would have really looked out of place in this environment.
