Bai Qingzhi returned home at 5:30 and, as expected, saw that the family chef had prepared a large table full of ingredients.
Bai Qingzhi put the things in her hand into the bedroom, still pretending that she knew nothing.
To be honest, Xiao Yuan felt a little sad. He thought that Zhizhi liked him and would definitely pay attention to his birthday.
But he quickly comforted himself, thinking, "Isn't this normal? I'm already very happy to be able to spend my birthday with Zhizhi this year."
Tonight, Bai's father took Bai's mother out for a social engagement, and the three Bai brothers also made excuses to stay out and not come back.
Although everyone still looked down on Xiao Yuan, they knew what their sister was thinking, so they created a private space for the two of them.
However, before leaving, the three brothers gave Xiao Yuan a warning, only doing so because it was his birthday.
You can only eat; if you dare to do anything else, your head will be smashed.
"What day is it today? Why are you preparing such a lavish feast?" Bai Qingzhi asked Xiao Yuan with wide eyes, looking at the exquisite dishes that were served.
“We don’t have many days off. Aren’t these your favorite foods? Come and try them.” Xiao Yuan was exceptionally happy.
Looking at Bai Qingzhi across from him, Xiao Yuan felt as if he were dreaming.
This was something he would never have dreamed of before, but now it was actually happening in his reality.
The two sat facing each other. Xiao Yuan took care of Bai Qingzhi, while Bai Qingzhi seemed to be eating attentively as usual.
Suddenly, all the lights in the room went out.
Xiao Yuan instinctively tensed up.
Logically speaking, a power outage should not happen in a villa like this, so his first thought was that someone had come in and deliberately cut off the power.
Standing up and shielding Bai Qingzhi behind him, Xiao Yuan comforted her while cautiously observing his surroundings.
Looking at the broad, imposing figure before her, Bai Qingzhi's smile grew wider and wider.
He reached out and patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder, then pointed towards the kitchen.
The crisp sound of a lighter rang out as the chef pushed a cart with the cake the two of them had made that morning.
The chef pushed the cake to the table and left. Under the candlelight, Bai Qingzhi's smile became even sweeter.
"Happy birthday, Brother Yuan." Bai Qingzhi looked into Xiao Yuan's eyes and said earnestly.
Xiao Yuan was somewhat stunned, then suddenly felt immense joy rise in his heart.
It's so nice that his little one actually remembered his own birthday.
With a widening smile, Xiao Yuan suddenly hugged Bai Qingzhi tightly.
Bai Qingzhi could even feel his heart pounding wildly.
"I've prepared a gift for you." Bai Qingzhi, obediently held in his arms, tilted her head back and continued speaking.
Xiao Yuan reluctantly let go of her, and then he saw Bai Qingzhi step out of his embrace and take out a box from the bottom shelf of the trolley.
The box was very simple, and even had childish patterns on it.
Xiao Yuan excitedly accepted it, carefully opened it, and saw two small ceramic figures inside.
It feels very rough, clearly made in a small workshop.
But Xiao Yuan didn't mind at all, because the two little people were him and Zhizhi.
"Did you make this?" Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.
Bai Qingzhi nodded somewhat shyly.
When her lighter was stolen, Bai Qingzhi stumbled upon this DIY shop and decided to make two Q-version figures, which she sculpted based on photos.
Although there are some flaws, the overall impression is still very similar, especially Xiao Yuan's domineering CEO look, which is extremely lifelike.
"Is this how you see me?" Xiao Yuan asked with a smile as he picked up the little figure.
Bai Qingzhi chuckled as she looked at the little man with his nose in the air. How could she possibly answer that her initial impression of him was even more fussy than this?
The two had a candlelight dinner together, and Xiao Yuan felt that this was the happiest birthday he had ever had.
Bai Qingzhi even took out her elder brother's treasured red wine and drank a few glasses.
However, she has never been a good drinker, and her face quickly turned red.
Xiao Yuan watched Bai Qingzhi, who was grinning foolishly, without saying a word, his heart filled with happiness.
"Brother Yuan, you don't know, but I really, really like your face." Bai Qingzhi was so drunk that she started talking nonsense.
"How can there be such a handsome man? He's totally my type." Bai Qingzhi staggered closer to Xiao Yuan, then reached out and cupped his face in her hands.
He tilted his head to examine it carefully.
"I'm honored that you like this face." For the first time, Xiao Yuan felt that being born with this appearance was a blessing from God.
You know, in the past, if anyone praised his good looks, he would want to tear their mouths apart.
But the fact that Zhizhi could say that made him happy.
Suddenly, Bai Qingzhi's legs gave way, and Xiao Yuan reached out to support her in time.
After drinking, Bai Qingzhi became noticeably bolder and actually sat directly on Xiao Yuan's lap.
When they got close, Xiao Yuan could even smell the aroma of wine on the other person.
Bai Qingzhi's mind was a little hazy at this moment; all she knew was that the man in front of her was the one she liked.
Her brain seemed to freeze; all Bai Qingzhi could see were Xiao Yuan's red lips.
I subconsciously moved closer.
Xiao Yuan felt his heart pounding like a drum. He dared not move, for fear of waking Bai Qingzhi.
Just as their lips were about to touch, the Bai family's front door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Xiao Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He reached out and grabbed Bai Qingzhi's waist to help her stand up.
Subconsciously, Xiao Yuan felt a little guilty.
"Surprise!" Xiao Yangjing's shout came instantly.
Looking over, Xiao Yuan noticed several people standing at the door.
My younger brother, whom I'm taking for granted, was striking an exaggerated pose while holding a gift.
“We’re back now that it’s time, so we can all celebrate your birthday together,” Bai Qinghuai continued.
The lights came on, and seeing his younger sister drinking, Bai Qinghuai immediately glared at Xiao Yuan with displeasure.
I knew that old man had no good intentions.
The pink bubble burst, and Xiao Yuan thought about how he was so close! He felt utterly hopeless.
Bai Qingzhi was drunk and was taken upstairs. Downstairs, only a few grown men remained. They were ostensibly there to celebrate his birthday, but anyone with eyes could see that they were just going through the motions.
Only Xiao Yangjing was frantically drinking himself.
Xiao Yuan frowned as he looked at his younger brother, and seemingly to vent his anger, he asked directly:
"I heard you changed girlfriends again?"
"She's just a woman! If you don't feel right after dating for a couple of days, you can break up with her." Xiao Yangjing replied indifferently.
Xiao Yuan subtly pursed his lips, then continued to ask:
"But to be honest, I actually wanted to set you up with that girl named Lin Nuannuan."
That's right, Xiao Yuan did it on purpose.
Upon hearing Lin Nuannuan's name, Xiao Yangjing visibly paused for a moment.
He thought he had forgotten Lin Nuannuan because of his frequent changes of girlfriends, but he didn't expect that she would be brought up again, and his heart still ached a little.
"Who does she think she is? How could she be worthy of me?" Xiao Yangjing was still being stubborn.
Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes, thinking how could his parents have given birth to such a stupid son.
