After dinner, Meng Xiao and Sang Yuan washed dishes in the kitchen.
After Ye Mingchuan finished sweeping the floor, he took out a watch from his pocket and handed it to Shen Qingli. She took it in a daze, looked up at Ye Mingchuan with a blank face.
"Happy birthday."
His handsome face was expressionless as he looked at her with a smile. Ye Mingchuan's eyes were truly beautiful, and his smiling eyes were even more dazzling than the stars above their heads.
Shen Qingli was stunned. She had never known her birthday since she was a child, so she had never celebrated it. Today was actually the original owner's birthday? She had even forgotten it.
Suddenly I remembered that when I called my mother's workplace this morning, she seemed to have said something funny. Maybe the signal was bad at the time, and there was a buzzing sound, which caused the line to be disconnected before I could hear clearly.
Now I think it must be my mother saying happy birthday.
Shen Qingli was touched and felt a little sour in his heart.
It turns out that she would also hear a "Happy Birthday". She thought she was used to it and didn't care about it anymore, but she didn't expect that hearing a "Happy Birthday" would still break her defenses.
"Why are you crying? Don't cry, are you still the same as when you were little?"
Seeing her eyes filled with tears, Ye Mingchuan unconsciously lowered his voice a little, fearing that if he said something or spoke in a harsh tone, her tears would fall.
He subconsciously reached out his hand to wipe the crystals off her eyelashes, but just as he did so, he retracted his hand.
He cursed himself in his heart, Ye Mingchuan, you can't! No way!
Shen Qingli turned her head and pressed the corner of her eyes hard, wiping away the crystals on them. She turned her head and looked at him with a smile, her tone deliberately light:
"Brother Mingchuan, thank you. It's just..."
Ye Mingchuan seemed to guess what she wanted to say:
"Don't worry, just keep it. It's just a watch. Besides, don't even think about giving it back to me.
I can't wear it even if you give it back to me, and I can't return it. At worst, you can just let me come over for a few more meals in the future."
Shen Qingli shook her head and wanted to say something else. She held out the watch in her hand to him, but Ye Mingchuan quickly pushed it back to her: "Don't you really think of me as your brother?"
He pretended to be serious, but he felt sad inside. Who wants to be her brother? He didn't want to be her brother at all!
"I really do want to thank you for remembering my birthday, but Brother Mingchuan, this watch is too valuable. I really can't accept it."
Shen Qingli pursed her lips. This watch was imported. She recognized the logo. It was a high-end luxury brand not only now, but also in the future.
She and Meng Ning saw this watch at the Overseas Chinese Friendship Store. Several watches of this brand are priced around 700 to 800 or more than 900 yuan.
The couple owed Ye Mingchuan too much and really couldn't accept anything from him anymore.
What was given to the child before was for the child, and she couldn't refuse it, but this one was given to her, she really couldn't take it.
"There's nothing I can't collect. That's all I have to say. I have to catch a train tonight for a mission, so I'll go back and pack my things first."
After Ye Mingchuan finished speaking, he started to walk away. No, he started to run.
"Hey!?" Shen Qingli didn't hold on, and she obviously couldn't catch up.
She yelled towards the kitchen, "Meng Xiao! Meng Xiao!"
The man ran out in a hurry, without even having time to wipe the water off his hands.
"I'm coming, what's wrong?"
"Go, return this watch to Brother Mingchuan. It's too valuable for us to accept. I can't catch up with him. Why are you just standing there? Go quickly! He has to catch the train."
Shen Qingli saw that he was a little dazed and shook his arm.
What is this person doing in a daze?
"Let Sang Yuan take it with him when he goes back." Meng Xiao took the watch and played with it in his hand, his tone so calm that no emotion could be heard.
Shen Qingli frowned and said, "What's the point of asking Sang Yuan to take it back? No, I mean, at least you or I should go there in person, right?"
"You care about his feelings? You two are doing well, aren't you?" Meng Xiao looked at her and smiled, picked up his watch and shook it in front of her, but the smile didn't seem to reach his eyes.
"What are you crazy about? How did I offend you? Why are you so harsh? Didn't I confiscate his gift? What's wrong with him saying happy birthday to me?"
Shen Qingli didn't understand why he was angry! Why was he jealous? If it was because Ye Mingchuan gave her a gift, she didn't intend to accept it, right?
Meng Xiao was brought back to reality by this sentence, and he was a little annoyed!
Yes! Today is her birthday! What on earth was I doing just now!
You have to force yourself to eat vinegar that you can't eat.
The two of them had never been angry with each other before, but today he happened to make her angry.
He reached out to hold Shen Qingli's hand, but Shen Qingli ignored him and went back to the house. Meng Xiao followed behind him into the house.
Aunt Liu signaled to Sang Yuan to go first. This kid was really tactless. Didn't he see that the two of them were not in a good condition? He still stretched his head to get closer.
"Sister-in-law, Meng Tuan, the dishes are done. I'll be leaving first." Sang Yuan shouted at the door.
"Go back and drive slowly." Meng Xiao opened the door and said to him.
"Okay, then I'm leaving, Mom. I'm leaving." Sang Yuan waved to Aunt Liu, indicating that she didn't need to see him off.
Meng Xiao wanted to call him and let him wear the watch. He rubbed it for a few times, but Sang Yuan didn't say anything until he walked a short distance away.
Forget it, I'll just listen to my wife. It's better to return such valuable things in person.
"Xiao Meng, please don't be angry. Arguing hurts feelings. Girls like to be coaxed. Qingli has to take care of the children at home and outside, which is very hard."
Aunt Liu held the child in her arms and earnestly advised Meng Xiao. It was the first time she had seen the young couple unhappy.
Meng Xiao nodded gently: "I know, Aunt Liu, let He He An An sleep in your room today."
He closed the door only after Aunt Liu nodded.
Shen Qingli hid himself in the space. Meng Xiao looked at the empty room and suddenly felt powerless.
You said she doesn't follow others' example of going back to her parents' home after an argument, nor does she follow others' example of running away. She just hides in her own space, what can you do?
You know she is still in this room, but she won't come out, so you just can't find her. What can you do?
Aunt Liu was still outside, and he didn't dare call her out, so he could only sit in the chair and sulk.
He was so anxious that he sat for a while and then stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
"Qingqing? Qingqing? Don't be angry, I was wrong." He spoke to the air.
No response...
When Aunt Liu heard the noise in the house, she pushed the two children back into the house. She didn't have the habit of eavesdropping.
Meng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of Aunt Liu closing the door, and his voice rose slightly: "Qingqing? Qingqing, I know you are looking at me, don't be angry..." He spoke to himself.
Where is Shen Qingli?
Shen Qingli was feeling sulky when he entered the space, so he simply went straight to the bathroom to take a comfortable hot bath and then go to bed.
As for Meng Xiao? She really didn't hear what Meng Xiao said. She blocked out the outside world the first time she came in.
It's obvious that they are just jealous of each other, but it makes both of them unhappy.
Stop being jealous and go to sleep alone tonight!
Now she just wants to take a nice bath and sleep~
