Chapter 100 Birthday Party
Li Xue finished distributing the leaflets and said with a smile: "Okay, now, let's move on to the next thing?"
The students all looked at Tingyun, and Tingyun felt nervous:
Why are they all looking at him? Is there anything that everyone knows that only he doesn’t know?
The door to the box opened, and the waiter came in with a big cake and placed it on the table.
Li Xue raised her eyes and smiled at Ting Yun: "Isn't this a dinner party, and I just found out that today is your birthday, so let's join in the fun and help you celebrate!"
Tingyun was a little confused: We don't usually see each other, so why did we just find out that his birthday is today? Did he see it in his QQ profile?
And how could it be such a coincidence that the party happened to be on the same day as his birthday?
Senior Li Xue said that she initiated this party. Was she the one who proposed to celebrate his birthday?
However, she initiated the party, not necessarily the time.
Tingyun's thoughts raced for a moment, but he couldn't grasp the clue.
Over at the table, the students had already placed candles and called Tingyun over.
Tingyun gave up guessing, walked over, sat down, and thanked everyone first.
No matter who suggested celebrating his birthday, they all had good intentions.
Beautiful double layer mousse cake with number candles - 2 and 4.
On November 11, 2022, he will be twenty-four years old.
After he turned six, he never celebrated his birthday.
Dad is a non-smoking person. He lives in his own spiritual world and doesn't care about festivals and birthdays.
Unexpectedly, many years later, a group of classmates would celebrate my birthday, which was quite touching.
Everyone divided the cakes noisily. After eating the cakes, small hotpots and side dishes were also served. They then cooked the hotpots in a lively manner and sang karaoke while eating.
On such occasions, Tingyun has always been a quiet listener. But today he couldn't do it anymore, and his classmates shouted for the birthday boy to come.
Tingyun didn't refuse, and went up to sing a very appropriate song "Auld Lang Syne".
"How can we forget our old friends
Can I not think about it in my heart
How can old friends forget each other
Friendship lasts forever
..."
His voice was cold and clean, and after singing the song, everyone got better.
After Tingyun finished singing, he walked back to the sofa, and his classmates asked Li Xue to sing another song.
Li Xue smiled and went up to order a song, holding the microphone gracefully.
The music started, it was Zhang Liyin's "Star Wish".
"Unconsciously, the moon quietly illuminates the night sky
Thinking of you, this night of loneliness is with me
……
I really want to fly into your warm heart like this
Do you see my love shining for you
……
Carrying sweet dreams, I just want to fly with you forever
Saying I love you softly, you are the direction I will follow without regrets
Baby you'll last forever my love”
Li Xue's voice is the kind of extremely gentle lady's voice, and the choice of this kind of soulful music makes it even more ear-catching.
Everyone in the box fell silent and listened to her singing quietly.
Li Xue looked around at the whole place at first, but then she kept staring at Tingyun:
"My longing like drizzle details my endless longing for you
Even when all the empty spaces are filled, I won’t be able to express my love enough
……
What would I do without you by my side
I am haggard for you, I shed tears for you, and wither for love
It is your love that warms me and is as precious as a diamond and a rose
I already knew that you are my eternal love"
There are many words that cannot be said directly, so it is much easier to express them through songs.
Li Xue feels that the lyrics of this song vividly express her feelings. I wonder if Tingyun can feel it?
She sang while observing Tingyun's reaction.
But Tingyun only glanced at her when she first spoke, and then looked away without looking at her again.
She couldn't catch his gaze, so she couldn't tell whether he understood.
Tingyun really didn’t understand.
He admitted that she sang beautifully and was listening carefully, just like everyone else present.
But he didn't know that the song was sung to him. After all, singing love songs in KTV is a very common thing.
After Li Xue finished singing, the students gave warm applause, and Tingyun also clapped his hands twice.
Li Xue looked at his calm face and knew that he had not understood her implicit hint.
Other students came up to sing, and the scene was still lively.
Li Xue was not in the mood to listen to the song. She saw Tingyun holding her phone and typing something quickly, with that gentle smile on her face again.
Tingyun is indeed replying to Qingyu.
Just now, he received a message from Qingyu: "Tingyun, where are you? Are you free now? I'm at your school and I'll see you if I need anything."
Tingyun was a little surprised, but more of a surprise:
"I'm having a reunion with my high school classmates at 'Meet' KTV. It will probably take a while to end. Are you in a hurry?"
Qingyu replied: "No rush, just send me your location and I'll go there first and wait for you outside for a while."
Tingyun asked: "Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Qingyu sent a big smile: "No, there is positioning and navigation, are you afraid of getting lost? I am not a road addict."
Tingyun sent a location: "Find a milk tea shop or cafe or something to stay later, don't wait stupidly."
"Yeah, okay."
After Tingyun sent the message, his heart became restless. He began to look forward to the party ending quickly, so as not to let Qingyu wait too long.
He was also eager to know what Qingyu wanted from him.
Finally, after the wine and singing were over, a group of people came out together, but they chatted leisurely.
After the students left by various means of transportation, Dingyun quickly took out his mobile phone.
Before I took it out, I heard a gentle voice behind me: "Zhangyun".
Tingyun turned around: "Senior Lixue, is there anything else?"
Li Xue smiled and handed over a book:
"It's like this. When I was visiting the book market in Beijing, I saw one of your professional course books. I thought you might need it, so I bought it for you. Do you think it's useful?"
Tingyun took the book with slight surprise and looked at the cover "276 Precious Design Manuscripts: Great Architectural Manuscripts".
This kind of out-of-print professional course book is not easy to buy, so she is interested.
Tingyun said gratefully: "Thank you, senior, for your trouble. I can't let you spend money, so I will transfer the book fee to you."
Li Xue refused to accept it, but Ting Yun insisted on giving it to him. In the end, Li Xue couldn't resist him, so she followed his instructions and opened the WeChat QR code.
Tingyun was slightly startled. He was talking about the QR code for payment and wanted to pay directly. But what Lixue opened was a QR code business card, and he had to add a friend first.
But Tingyun was too embarrassed to ask her to switch over, as that would be too embarrassing.
So, without saying anything, he scanned the QR code to add a friend and transferred the money.
Li Xue picked up her phone and looked at the amount: "This is too much."
Tingyun replied: "There is also a cake. I guess it was paid for by you, senior sister. If not, could you please transfer the money to the classmate who paid."
His guess was correct, she initiated the party, she mentioned Tingyun's birthday pretending to be unintentional, she also ordered the cake, and she carefully selected the book.
But these things were done as they were done, and there was no way to say them out.
Li Xue was silent for a moment, then smiled again: "Okay, then I'll accept it."
Chapter completed!
