Xie Yunzhou then thought of the program that Shi Xi had recently participated in, which featured more than a hundred sunny and energetic young people.
"Have you set a date for your engagement party with Sheng Yan?" Xie Yunzhou asked indirectly.
The fact that Shi Xu hasn't contacted him recently means that this matter hasn't been resolved yet.
"Not yet, they said they wanted to postpone it, but Sheng Yan didn't agree." Thinking of this, Shi Xi sighed and said, "But Sheng Yan is here in Yanjing too, let's talk to him tomorrow."
"You're going to talk to him?" Xie Yunzhou was somewhat displeased.
But considering that he was now poaching people, Xie Yunzhou backed down.
How could he possibly be jealous?
Perhaps in Shi Xi's heart, she didn't even regard him as a male peer.
Xie Yunzhou drank half a glass of wine, and felt even more bitter.
Life is so hard.
"This drink isn't even as good as beer!"
"I agree, even the 1982 Lafite is nothing special!"
"This steak is really delicious, but it's too expensive."
"Its high price isn't its flaw; it's your flaw."
Xie Yunzhou was preoccupied, while the male college students on the other side were full of energy, commenting on the five-star restaurant.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared, and Xie Yunzhou only found their noise bothersome.
After the main meal, the waiter brought out a birthday cake.
The lights went out.
The male college students also quieted down, looking in the direction of the birthday cake and whispering among themselves.
"Is that girl Shi Xi?"
"It must be her, her pink hair is too eye-catching."
"Is it Shi Xi's birthday?" someone asked in confusion.
"No, I just checked, Shi Xi's birthday was a long time ago." The other person put away their phone and said, "It should be that man's birthday, is he her boyfriend?"
Hua Hengzhe interrupted, "You guys don't even follow celebrities, so what are you gossiping about?"
The group shut up.
Hua Hengzhe added, "No photos allowed, and no one is allowed to spread what we saw today."
My cronies zipped up their mouths.
...
Instead of candles, the cake was decorated with heart-shaped steel wool sparklers that emitted dazzling sparks when lit.
Shi Xi urged, "Make a wish quickly!"
Xie Yunzhou said disdainfully, "I have no wishes."
Making wishes is so childish.
He's not eighteen.
Thinking about the age difference between himself and Shi Xi, Xie Yunzhou fell silent again.
"Don't you have anything you long for but can't have?" Shi Xi raised her eyes, her bright black eyes fixed on Xie Yunzhou.
Xie Yunzhou looked at the girl behind the cold light fireworks. The dazzling sparks reflected in the girl's eyes were like a galaxy, shining brightly.
"I will fight for what I want myself." Xie Yunzhou's voice was calm and indifferent. "Seeking help from gods and Buddhas is just self-deception."
Shi Xi muttered softly, "Then why are you still wearing sandalwood prayer beads?"
Xie Yunzhou glanced at his wrist.
He likes to wear a string of sandalwood prayer beads, which often leads people to mistakenly believe he is a Buddhist.
As the lights dimmed and the male college students quieted down, several musicians, seeing the birthday cake appear, spontaneously began playing a softer version of Happy Birthday.
"Then let me make a wish for you!" Shi Xi smiled faintly, interlaced her fingers, closed her eyes, and began to make a wish earnestly.
Xie Yunzhou found the girl's earnest and devout appearance adorable.
Can it even make wishes for others?
The girl behind the spark had her eyes closed, her long eyelashes drooping like small fans, casting a shadow beneath her eyes. Her face was radiant, delicate and pretty. Beneath her pert nose, her cherry-red lips were so alluring that one longed to kiss them.
