"After that, I didn't even catch a glimpse of Miss Zhou. Then, I heard some devastating news from my second brother: Today, Miss Zhou's ideal husband actually went to the Zhou family to present betrothal gifts!"
At this point, He Yang took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, but his voice still trembled slightly. "Back then, I gritted my teeth and held on, and I didn't shed a single tear."
However, He Yang suddenly started sobbing again, “Waaah… Just as I was about to turn around and leave, that kind-hearted waiter actually gave me half a wild pear that Miss Zhou had personally picked from the mountain yesterday.”
"In an instant, all my strong defenses collapsed, and I could no longer suppress the overwhelming sadness in my heart."
"Then, like a child, I started crying loudly in front of the liquor store without a care in the world."
"It's embarrassing just to think about it!"
The eldest brother had warned himself that the pear should never be eaten in pieces, because "dividing the pear" and "separation" sound the same, which was considered a bad omen.
Seeing this, Yun Zhizhi quickly comforted her, "Don't cry. That Chu Chu girl looks down on our Lazy Yangyang. It's purely because she has no taste."
"Don't worry, there's a long road ahead; you're so amazing, you'll meet your true soulmate sooner or later, someone even more outstanding."
Hearing these comforting words, He Yang stopped crying slightly. She gently wiped away the tears streaming down her face with her handkerchief, blinked her red and swollen eyes, and looked pitifully at Yun Zhizhi, muttering in a spoiled tone:
"Boss, I'm still very sad right now and I want to eat a delicious cookie to calm my nerves."
Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but chuckle at his appearance: "Alright, alright, why don't you open it and try it yourself!"
As she spoke, she handed the gift to He Yang.
In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, He Yang devoured one of the packets of biscuits in a flash.
He licked his lips, looking like he hadn't had enough, and muttered, "No wonder Grandfather was so stingy earlier, only taking out a few cookies to make me happy."
"Now I understand, who would be willing to share such delicious cookies so easily!"
After all, every piece eaten is one less piece available.
And these cookies are so delicious! One bite and they're so crunchy and fragrant.
Immediately afterwards, unable to contain his curiosity, He Yang eagerly opened another gift in front of Yun Zhizhi.
What comes into view is a group of extremely cute little creatures—six little lambs and two wolf dolls.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed with surprise, "Wow~ these are the Happy Sheep, Pretty Sheep, Lazy Sheep, Boiling Sheep, Warm Sheep, and Slow Sheep you mentioned to me before!"
"And then there's that awful yet somewhat funny Grey Wolf and Red Wolf!"
Seeing He Yang's excited expression, Yun Zhizhi smiled and explained, "That's right, these are Pleasant Goat series plush toys, which are not yet available for sale to the public."
"This is the first finished product. To give you this surprise, I specially asked the embroiderers at the velvet embroidery workshop to work overnight to make it for you."
After saying that, she gently patted He Yang's shoulder and continued playfully, "Now you can make a wish to these little cuties. Maybe they can really help you make it come true!"
However, He Yang looked at Yun Zhizhi with a grin, revealing two small, white tiger teeth: "Making a wish on them might not necessarily come true, so... how about I make a wish on you instead?"
After hearing this, Yun Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated.
She never expected that Lazy Yangyang would actually see her as a wishing tree that could grant wishes!
Oh well, what can he do? It's his birthday and he's heartbroken today.
Seeing his pitiful yet expectant look, Yun Zhizhi's heart softened immediately, and she said softly, "Alright, then grant it!"
Normally, people make wishes silently in their hearts, afraid that others will find out.
Lazy Yangyang is quite unpredictable; she doesn't play by the rules at all.
He excitedly shouted to Yun Zhizhi, "I hope the boss will set up a stall to sell snacks next time!"
That way, he can eat as many snacks as he wants right away.
Yun Zhizhi slapped her forehead as if suddenly realizing something, revealing a slightly teasing smile: "You're quite cunning, aren't you!"
No wonder this guy was making a wish to me earlier, and so loudly, as if he was afraid I wouldn't know what he wished for.
So that's where she was waiting.
He Yang blinked his big, watery eyes at Yun Zhizhi and pleaded, "Big sister, please, just look at my miserable state right now and grant me this little wish, okay?"
It looked exactly like a puppy abandoned by its owner, making people feel sorry for it.
Seeing this, Yun Zhizhi pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "Alright, I give up! Let's set up a stall and sell snacks next time."
She has already made up her mind.
Regardless of where the system will set up the stall next time, the most important thing right now is to cheer up this guy who is both the birthday boy and has just broken up with his girlfriend.
After all, isn't the most important thing between friends mutual support and care?
Thinking about it this way, Yun Zhizhi felt that she was really loyal!
Upon hearing Yun Zhizhi agree, He Yang's eyes lit up instantly, and a bright smile spread across his face as he excitedly cheered, "Boss, you're so good to me!"
"Get up and wash your face! Everyone's waiting for you, the birthday person, to have your meal together."
After saying that, Yun Zhizhi slowly walked out of the room.
Just after lunch, Yun Zhizhi was about to head home when she was suddenly stopped by Master Xuanzhen and Doctor Zhou.
Master Xuanzhen said with a beaming smile, "Zhizhi, that lazy fellow Lan Yangyang was bragging to us earlier, saying that you promised him you'd set up a snack stall next time. So, when it's my birthday, could you also grant me a small wish and set up a stall specifically for selling vegetarian food?"
Doctor Zhou quickly chimed in, "You can't be biased, you have to promise me that you'll set up a special event for me to sell fine wine on my birthday."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead.
There's just no way to deal with Lazy Yangyang's big mouth!
"When are you two celebrating your birthdays?"
Upon hearing that there was hope, Master Xuanzhen quickly replied, "Next February."
Doctor Zhou took a small sip of the wine from the wine pot and then said, "Next May."
"Oh! Then let's talk about it when you have your birthdays."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Zhizhi disappeared in a flash.
They were left standing there, staring at each other, wide-eyed.
Master Xuanzhen scratched his head and muttered, "Did she agree or not?"
Doctor Zhou shook his head, looking equally bewildered: "I don't know."
