6. Birthday
As he said this, Pei Xu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth to test the poison on himself.
Pei Xu swallowed it before looking at her with a faint smile and said, "Look, it's okay."
Seeing him like this, Shi Mo held the chopsticks in his hand with a hint of hesitation.
But seeing Pei Xu's expectant eyes, Shi Mo took a deep breath and said, "Eat a bite. If it's raw, spit it out."
I picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in my mouth. It was cooked, and the beef was not tough but tender.
His cooking skills have indeed improved greatly compared to five years ago.
"How is it?" Pei Xu asked with great anticipation when he saw her eat it.
"It's okay." Shi Mo replied coldly, but it was indeed much better than before.
Now that the food was edible, Shi Mo finally felt relieved.
She held the chopsticks and ate slowly with her head down. Shi Mo ate little and slowly. When Pei Xu finished the first bowl of rice and went to get the second bowl, Shi Mo had only eaten half of it.
Pei Xu's cell phone, which he had placed aside, suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from the old house.
An impatient look appeared on his face, and he threw the phone aside after hanging up.
Seeing that Shi Mo didn't eat much, he put a piece of meat into the other person's bowl with his chopsticks.
"Eat more. You've lost a lot of weight." Pei Xu's voice was gentle, but what he said made Shi Mo particularly unhappy.
Shi Mo, whose appetite had been poor in recent years, put the food down with a snap, picked up a tissue beside him, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full, take your time."
Seeing that half of the rice in the bowl was still untouched, Pei Xu frowned and opened his mouth to persuade her to eat more.
It can be seen that Shi Mo was sitting there playing with his mobile phone, with impatience on his face.
Pei Xu knew that Shi Mo was angry, so he didn't say anything to persuade him.
"Okay, if you're hungry tonight, I'll ask Auntie to cook for you." Pei Xu said, then took the chopsticks and ate by himself.
The phone next to him rang again. He picked it up and saw the name on it, frowned and hung up.
But as soon as I put it down, it started ringing again without stopping for a moment.
Shi Mo felt annoyed and stood up and walked towards the living room.
The phone rang and hung up.
Pei Xu had no way of finishing the meal in peace.
Pei Xu felt very depressed and his eyes were cold as his first meal after reuniting with Shi Mo was interrupted like this.
Anyone with eyes could see that he was already angry.
When the other party called again, Pei Xu answered the call.
A smiling voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Pei, today is Anluo's birthday, why haven't you answered the phone? We are all waiting for you to come back at the Pei family's old house."
At this time, a new person came over, and this time his tone was gentler: "Pei Xu, I remember you returned to Jiangcheng at 5:30 this afternoon. It's been so long, didn't the driver notify everyone? Everyone is waiting for you."
There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that the Pei family's old house would be very lively tonight.
But Pei Xu was not interested at all.
"I have something to do today, you guys have fun." Pei Xu said perfunctorily.
An Luo, who was sitting next to them with an expectant look on his face, immediately became unhappy after hearing these words.
"Brother Pei, what could be more important than my birthday?" An Luo snatched the phone and asked with great dissatisfaction.
She is the birthday girl today, nothing can be bigger than her.
As the birthday girl today, she was dressed very beautifully. She looked particularly beautiful in a light pink dress, with delicate makeup on her face and a beautiful hairstyle.
She looks like a little princess.
"It's indeed more important than your business." Pei Xu said directly without giving any face.
When Anlu heard this, he felt even more aggrieved.
She pouted slightly, her voice full of unhappiness: "I don't care, you have to come back today to celebrate my birthday. If you don't come back, I will find you now."
Pei Xu sneered when he heard her words: "It's up to you, you can love or not."
After saying that, Pei Xu hung up the phone directly, threw the phone aside, frowned, and it was obvious that he was in a very bad mood.
He looked at Shi Mo, who was sitting on the sofa in the distance, and saw her thin face, which was as small as a palm. He glanced at the half bowl of rice she had left, and finally sighed softly, reaching out to take the bowl and help Shi Mo finish it.
At the Pei family's old house, An Luo heard the beeping sound and realized that the call was hung up by Pei Xu. She was stunned.
An Luo, who had been spoiled since she was a child, felt extremely wronged at this moment. She curled her lips and tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, the two people sitting next to him hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be sad, Pei Xu may really have something to do and can't come."
"Let's all spend the day together today."
Shen Zhiyi took out his mobile phone at this time, and his brows frowned slightly when he saw what the driver said.
Pei Xu found it at the end.
He also brought the person back to Jiangcheng.
Putting away the phone, Shen Zhiyi looked at An Luo, and seeing her crying, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
If Anlu knew about this, he probably wouldn't be able to have a peaceful day today.
"I don't care. I just want Brother Pei to come back and celebrate my birthday with me." An Luo wiped her tears. She looked pitiful and even more pitiful.
Anlu stood up and walked towards the living room.
Grandma Pei was sitting in the living room, wearing reading glasses and watching old movies. When An Luo saw Grandma Pei, he said in a low voice, "Grandma, Brother Pei doesn't want to come back to celebrate my birthday."
Grandma Pei was in a bad mood because she was interrupted while watching TV series.
She paused, then asked, "Didn't you guys get any notice?"
"I called him, but he didn't want to come back." An Luo lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes, "He was also mean to me."
"Haha." Grandma Pei felt a little annoyed when she saw her like this, but this was her daughter-in-law's guest after all, so she still had to give him some face. "Maybe he really has something going on and can't come back."
"Then Grandma Pei, please ask him to stop what he is doing."
An Luo muttered softly, "Work is not as important as my birthday."
Grandma Pei retracted her gaze and said in a cold voice: "My grandson has his own ideas. He may not listen to what I say."
"It's just a birthday. It doesn't matter whether he's there or not. Let him focus on his work."
When Anlu heard this, he clenched his hands slightly.
It turned out that it didn't work to look for this old lady. It was a pity that Aunt Chen hadn't come back yet, otherwise she wouldn't have looked for this old lady.
Leaving the living room, she looked like a pitiful little thing with tears streaming down her face.
"Don't cry, let's go find Pei Xu together." Jiang Yanning felt distressed when he saw this, and he hurried forward to comfort him.
"Okay." Anlu immediately nodded in agreement.
"Where is Brother Pei now?" An Luo asked with a happy smile on her face, wiping her tears.
"He's at home." Shen Zhiyi took over at this time.
Hearing that Pei Xu was at home, An Luo snorted heavily, "Brother Pei doesn't have a job at all, he just doesn't want to come to my birthday party."
At the end of her speech, her tone became more aggrieved.
It had been five years, and ever since that bitch left, Brother Pei had been distant and distant from all of them.
