However, thinking of the embarrassment of getting drunk last time, Fu Huaiyi refused to drink a drop of alcohol this time, which was criticized by several friends.

"Brother Yi, wasn't it Brother Shuo who got into trouble the last time you got drunk?"

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"It's your birthday today, so feel free to drink as much as you want. I'll drive you later."

"Ahem." Of course I couldn't tell them what the mistake was.

Fu Huaiyi said: "Whether it was me or someone else who was at fault, it was still a fault. Drinking is indeed a mistake, that's the fact. I won't drink today, you can drink this or that as you please."

He held a cup of boiled water and clinked glasses with others.

After hearing what he said, no one could persuade him any further.

It’s just that Yi Yunshuo felt quite embarrassed.

The last time he got drunk, he really got into trouble. He was beaten up by a few thugs and spent the night in jail.

But he didn't blame him.

You can't tell from the outside, but I didn't expect that Brother Yi felt so guilty inside that he even quit drinking because of me.

This is really...

"Brother Yi, don't take what happened last time to heart. I really don't blame you."

Fu Huaiyi: “…”

"Hmm." He hummed softly and lowered his head to eat.

A few men got together and talked more than they ate, and the meal took two hours.

Just after seeing off a few friends, a car stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

A person got off the car, it was Mingmei.

She took off her sunglasses and looked at Fu Huaiyi, saying, "You are really here. It's so easy for me to find you."

Fu Huaiyi: “…”

Yi Yunshuo: "What do you want to do with Brother Yi?"

"Isn't this his birthday? I went to Uncle Fu's house but couldn't find him. Uncle Fu said he would not be going back this year and would celebrate in the army. I went to the army again and they said you were having dinner in Chenshan Town, so I came here again. It's so hot, I'm exhausted. Mr. Fu, this is for you."

She took out a beautiful long box.

Fu Huaiyi didn't take it, and said calmly: "Thank you, but no need for gifts, we won't be doing it this year."

Mingmei smiled and said, "You can't forget about gifts. Take this. This pen is made in Germany and is very hard to buy."

Fu Huaiyi just looked down at the logo on the box and still refused.

"If it's hard to buy, keep it for yourself. I have no use for it."

Having said that, he turned and left.

"Hey." Mingmei stamped her feet in anger and complained, "What kind of person is this? I went everywhere to look for him in the hot summer and gave him a gift out of kindness, and this is his attitude?"

Yi Yunshuo certainly knew why she had this attitude, but he hadn't caught up yet and didn't know if he could do it, and he couldn't explain it to Mingmei.

All I could say was, "Ms. Ming, have you ever thought that Brother Yi doesn't like you at all?"

"I know."

Yi Yunshuo: “…”

"Then why are you still clinging to him?"

"I'm pursuing you right now. Just because you don't like me now doesn't mean you won't like me in the future."

This……

"Oh, Miss Ming, we have known each other for so many years. I really can't bear to see you working in vain."

"Um?"

"What do you mean?" Mingmei asked with a dark face.

Yi Yunshuo looked at Fu Huaiyi's gradually receding back, his face full of melancholy.

It’s difficult. It’s so difficult.

She chased him and he chased her.

"Ms. Ming, there's no way he will like you. No matter how much you give, it's useless."

Mingmei: “…”

At this time, Fu Huaiyi shouted from a distance, "A Shuo, why are you talking to her so much? Hurry up and catch up."

"Hey, I'm coming."

Yi Yunshuo smiled apologetically at Mingmei and hurriedly followed.

Yi Yunshuo whispered something to Fu Huaiyi, and then the two of them started pushing each other back and forth.

After pushing each other a few times, the two of them huddled together and whispered something, glancing at themselves from time to time?

The gesture was so intimate that it seemed as if there was no room for a third person.

This... this...

Mingmei stared at them repeatedly, then showed a horrified expression.

…

Fu Huaiyi invited Yi Yunshuo to have coffee across from the bookstore. He looked across from him from time to time, and then at the time on his wrist.

Yi Yunshuo looked puzzled, "Are you busy today?"

"Nothing."

"Then why do you keep looking at the time?"

"Oh, I have to pick someone up later."

"Huh? Who are you picking up?"

"Yaoyao's brother came over, and I promised to go with her to pick him up."

ah?

He finally understood why he wasn't celebrating his birthday this year.

But... he does these things silently, and other people may not even know about it.

"Ah!" Yi Yunshuo let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Yi, are you tired?"

"What are you tired of?"

"Does anyone know that you have done so much?"

"I don't know." Fu Huaiyi paused for a moment, then said, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense, and you are not allowed to tell her. She doesn't need to know."

Yi Yunshuo was speechless for a while.

"Tsk, tsk, I only have two words to say to you: I surrender."

Fu Huaiyi didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "Do you want to watch Animal World?"

"What?"

Fu Huaiyi rolled his eyes at him and said, "A male bird has to build a nest and dance to woo a female bird, let alone a human."

Yi Yunshuo: “…”

Well, he was speechless.

Fu Huaiyi looked down at the time and felt that it was about time.

He's going there now.

It was 2:30 in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day.

There were not many people in the bookstore, only a few people reading books.

The three of them also gathered together to chat.

They were talking about Lu Jiangting's repayment of the money.

"Luckily you blocked his way home from get off work and the news got out. Otherwise, I see he's not going to return it to you."

Lin Yuyao nodded, but felt strange.

What some people said might be true, but it is a bit exaggerated if it gets to the leaders and they feel that if they do nothing, it will affect the image of the unit.

Who doesn’t have some trivial matters?

When they do things, they always try to cover up as much as possible, and they will persuade others whether it is necessary or not.

In her previous life, she had made a fuss because Lu Jiangting gave his salary to Fang Qing.

At that time, she was taking care of her children and her parents at home. She was extremely poor, so she brought her children here to seek justice.

At that time, she was able to enter with her marriage certificate.

At that time, Lu Jiangting's direct leader was not Lao Wang. It should be someone else who took over the position after Lao Wang was promoted.

She remembered it was a middle-aged man named Xu.

He directly had someone take her to the office and asked her about their situation.

After listening to this, he called Lu Jiangting over and scolded him, ordering him to take care of his own family first.

Comrade Fang Qing has difficulties, and they will find a way to solve them.

However, she was severely criticized by the leader surnamed Xu for her suspicion that Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing had an abnormal relationship.

She said the organization would help her solve any difficulties, but she was not allowed to tarnish the image of martyrs' widows and soldiers.

She had no direct evidence, and Lu Jiangting could find reasons for all the care he gave Fang Qing and her son. She had no way of saying it.

In the end, the solution was to let Lu Jiangting take care of the family and send 80% of his salary back home to Lin Yuyao.

Fang Qing was assigned a job by her superiors to help her solve her problem of insufficient living expenses.

They lived peacefully for half a year, and after half a year, Lu Jiangting again hesitantly said that he had no money.

Upon asking, I found out that it was given to Fang Qing.

Because Fang Qing lost her job, but no one knows how she lost it.
