She pursed her lips and opened her mouth.
"Forget it. Isn't there something going on at home? Li Xia, go back. I won't waste your time. I'm fine."
Cohen raised his head and pulled the corners of his lips into an ugly smile.
Li Xia said, "It's okay, you tell me first." Seeing that Cohen didn't say anything, she deliberately said with a straight face, "Didn't you say that we are good friends? In our country, good friends are people who can share good and bad things with each other."
"Li Xia, don't be angry, I'm telling you." Seeing this, Cohen mistakenly thought that Li Xia was angry, so he quickly said, "It's not a big deal. Today is my birthday, my parents are not here, and I've been away for several years. I've lost contact with my old friends, and school has just started, so I don't have any familiar classmates, so I wanted to invite you to my birthday party."
People abroad love to hold parties.
On days like birthdays and anniversaries, people here will hold a party of varying sizes.
"I'm sorry, Cohen, I didn't know it was your birthday."
Li Xia blinked and said apologetically.
Cohen waved his hand. "It's okay. To use a phrase you once said to me, ignorance is not a crime. It's because I didn't tell you in advance, so it's normal that you didn't know. It's not your fault."
"But it's too late for me to prepare a gift for you now." Li Xia bit her lower lip.
“No need to prepare gifts, you are the best gift.”
Cohen blurted out.
"Ah?" Li Xia blinked when she heard that.
What he said was very misleading.
Cohen's eyes twinkled. "I mean, your presence at my birthday party is the best gift for me."
He let out a breath secretly.
That was a close call.
She almost knew what I was thinking.
Now is not the time to express his feelings. They have been separated for a long time and have only been reunited for two days. If he confesses his feelings at this moment, it will definitely scare her.
We will have to wait a little longer.
"oh oh."
After listening to Cohen's explanation, Li Xia nodded.
She bowed her head and considered it.
Judging from the situation, the chances of me being able to wait for Shan Yilin today are not high.
Waiting for him is a waste of time.
Besides, since Cohen had said so much, she was too embarrassed to refuse.
During the two years they were in the same class, Cohen took good care of her, but she never had the chance to repay him.
"Okay, then I'll join." Li Xia raised his eyes and nodded.
"Very good."
When Cohen heard that Li Xia agreed, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"Ayi, is there something on your mind?" Qin Xiao asked, pursing his lips as he looked at Shan Yilin, who was out of tune with the lively atmosphere around him.
Everyone was having a great time partying and relaxing.
He was the only one who came to this place and drank alone in the corner.
They have known each other for many years.
It was the first time he saw Shan Yilin drinking.
Shan Yilin reached out and picked up the bottle of wine on the table. "I'm fine, leave me alone."
After he finished speaking, he prepared to pour himself a glass of wine.
"Don't drink anymore. I'm wrong, isn't that enough? I will never ask you to drink with me again. Just go home. I beg you."
Qin Xiao reached out and snatched the bottle of wine from Shan Yilin's hand.
He was not afraid that if Shan Yilin drank something bad, he would be held responsible.
The way he drinks is really not advisable.
Shan Yilin frowned and said, "Give me the wine."
He just wanted to get drunk for once, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
He even suspected that the wine here was fake and had been mixed with water.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that I could drink for two days without feeling drunk at all?
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao hurriedly hid the wine in his hand behind him.
He shook his head. "No, everything can be discussed, except this wine. You really can't drink it anymore."
Qin Xiao sat down opposite Shan Yilin.
He didn't dare put the wine on the table.
She could only hide behind a chair secretly to avoid being noticed by Shan Yilin.
"Ayi, if you want to treat me as a brother, then tell me the truth. What's wrong with you? Drinking alone won't solve the problem. Tell me what the problem is. You are so successful at work now, so there shouldn't be any problems. Excluding this, the only problem is your life."
Qin Xiao said analytically.
As far as he knew, Shan Yilin was still a single man.
He couldn't figure it out either.
What problems could he have in life?
Shan Yilin seemed to have been hit on by someone. He blinked and his eyes flickered. "Qin Xiao, don't make blind guesses. I just never indulge myself before. I just suddenly want to experience the feeling of being drunk."
"Do you think I will believe it?" Qin Xiao frowned, "Ayi, is this about your little one?"
He thought about it and only thought of this possibility.
He was not familiar with Li Xia and had only met her once or twice by chance.
But he saw it with his own eyes.
Shan Yilin, who is cold as ice to others, acts like a normal person with warmth when facing her.
After some inquiries, he finally found out the relationship between Li Xia and Shan Yilin.
At that time, Qin Xiao was still joking in front of him.
He said that his little niece was so pretty when she was a child, and she would definitely be far beyond the reach of many male compatriots when she grows up.
It's a joke that Dan Yilin's treatment of Li Xia is a nurturing one, which allows him to keep the benefits to himself and sell the products himself.
Shan Yilin got very angry after hearing this and warned Qin Xiao to be careful about the person he was joking with.
"no."
