After Ye Kaicheng greeted everyone, the birthday dinner officially began. The lights were dimmed, and along with the birthday song, the waiter rolled up the gorgeous birthday cake, and the whole place fell silent. Ye Kaicheng stood in front of the cake, and Xu Shiyun stood next to him. The look of the two standing together was so eye-catching. Zhong Yuhan was squeezed into a place some distance away from Ye Kaicheng, looking directly at Ye Kaicheng and Xu Shiyun, with a very lonely expression on her face.
At this moment, Xu Zuoyan was also standing in the outer circle some distance away from Ye Kaicheng. He raised his head and saw Ye Kaicheng looking towards him tacitly. Their eyes met in the air, and Ye Kaicheng smiled slightly at him. , and then moved away.
Xu Zuoyan rolled his eyes when he received Ye Kaicheng's smile, and then moved around in the crowd, squeezing and moving with small steps, but the result was that he successfully moved into the inner circle. Standing behind Ye Kaicheng and Xu Shiyun, while everyone was running out of ideas, he secretly reached out and grabbed the corner of Ye Kai's clothes. Then he looked around with his peripheral vision and found that no one had noticed. He raised his lips proudly.
"Tsk, darling, it seems you really can't live without Kai at all." Suddenly, a teasing laughter came from my ears.
Xu Zuoyan was startled, and when he turned around, he realized that it was Yao Tian standing behind him. Yao Tianzheng, who was standing behind him, looked at him with a smile. When he saw him turning his head, he lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Zuoyan's hand holding the corner of Ye Kai's clothes. Behind Yao Tian, there was Lang Chen with the same smile on his face.
Xu Zuoyan was embarrassed and quickly took his hand back, but at this moment, Ye Kaicheng stretched his hand back and held Xu Zuoyan's hand behind his back that he wanted to move away.
The palm of his hand was a little warm. Although Xu Zuoyan's face was slightly red, he looked at Yao Tian with a little pride, indicating that Ye Kaicheng could not live without him.
Xu Zuoyan's arrogant look made both Yao Tian and Lang Chen laugh, but they stopped teasing Xu Zuoyan and walked forward to stand beside Ye Kaicheng.
Although Ye Kaicheng held Xu Zuoyan's hand, he did not look back. He made a wish during the birthday song, then blew out the candles, then let go of Xu Zuoyan's hand, and cut the cake with Xu Shiyun with a cake knife.
The lights came on again, and the music started playing at the same time. Ye Kaicheng and Xu Shiyun went to dance the first dance, and then one after another other people followed suit.
Xu Zuoyan glanced at Xu Shiyun dancing with Ye Kaicheng with some envy, thinking that if she were a woman, she could dance with Ye Kaicheng like her sister now, and dance in front of everyone, and no one would have any objections.
However, when I thought about myself dancing there wearing the same dress as my sister, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body just thinking about it, so I thought I'd better forget it. But looking at the beautiful dance of his beloved and his sister, he felt unhappy, so he turned around and cut a big cake, then hid in a corner and ate it, out of sight.
In lively occasions, because of his status as a reporter, Xu Zuoyan is used to being an observer and looking around, but he cannot easily integrate into the excitement of the crowd. He wasn't very good at dealing with strangers, but he didn't feel bored, because he would always bump into Ye Kaicheng by chance. Even if they didn't speak to each other, each time their eyes exchanged, it made him happy for a while. At this moment He enjoys this chance encounter and looks forward to the next tacit understanding of each other.
The corner Xu Zuoyan was hiding in was by the window. The wind picked up at some point and the curtains were blown around. Xu Zuoyan stopped eating the cake and turned around to close the window. But at this moment, he discovered a familiar person standing by the window on the other side, Zhong Yuhan.
Zhong Yuhan leaned against the wall, holding a glass of wine in his hand, but he didn't drink it, looking straight ahead. Xu Zuoyan followed Zhong Yuhan's gaze and discovered that Zhong Yuhan was looking at Ye Kaicheng and his sister.
The first time he came here, Xu Zuoyan clearly understood how sweet Zhong Yuhan's smile was when he came in holding Ye Kaicheng's arm. But at this time, the lonely eyes lost their luster and looked particularly lonely.
Xu Zuoyan looked at it and frowned slightly.
Just now, Xu Zuoyan saw Zhong Yuhan being led by Xu Shiyun to meet many people, all of whom were young men. Although Xu Shiyun meant to take her to get to know him, it also gave those men a signal that Zhong Yuhan needed a boyfriend. Zhong Yuhan is also a beautiful and delicate girl. When men see her, they will want to protect her, so they all greet Zhong Yuhan warmly. Zhong Yuhan also knew what Xu Shiyun meant, but Xu Shiyun did everything right, always smiled and had a good attitude, and took care of her like a big sister, so Zhong Yuhan didn't have much to say, she just had to bite the bullet and explain her thoughts one by one. Different men said hello and received a bunch of business cards.
It wasn't until Zhong Yuhan finally showed a hint of exhaustion and helplessness that Xu Shiyun let her go.
Xu Zuoyan doesn't think his sister did anything wrong because he knows that Xu Shiyun did this for his own good. After all, as long as Zhong Yuhan doesn't admit defeat, she will always be his love rival. Xu Shiyun did that so that his happiness would not be threatened at all, so although he felt pitiful for Zhong Yuhan, he did not stop him. As long as Zhong Yuhan withdraws from this kind of thing, Xu Shiyun will no longer target her.
However, looking at Zhong Yuhan who was so lonely at the moment, Xu Zuoyan finally felt sorry. After hesitating for a while, he walked towards Zhong Yuhan.
Although Xu Shiyun repeatedly warned him not to get close to Zhong Yuhan, and he himself did not want to get close, looking at Zhong Yuhan at this moment, he always felt very pitiful. That pity was not threatening at all in Xu Zuoyan's eyes, so he walked over.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something." Xu Zuoyan walked to Zhong Yuhan and asked.
Zhong Yuhan, who was looking at Ye Kaicheng, was obviously startled. He turned around and saw Xu Zuoyan, his eyes a little panicked. Maybe she was afraid that Xu Zuoyan would tell Xu Shiyun about her peeking at Ye Kaicheng, and she would be taught a lesson by Xu Shiyun again. Because she already knew before that Xu Zuoyan was not Ye Kaicheng's subordinate, but Xu Shiyun's younger brother.
"No, I'm not hungry." Zhong Yuhan avoided Xu Zuoyan in shock and stepped aside before saying.
"Aren't you hungry? I see that you haven't eaten anything. This is not good for your health. I can help you get whatever you want to eat." Xu Zuoyan raised the plate in his hand as he spoke. He looked down and found that he The cake had been chewed into a mess, so I took it back embarrassedly.
"No, I've eaten before I came here. I'm not hungry." Zhong Yuhan shook her head again and refused.
"Oh, forget it, drink less. Drinking is harmful to your health." After being rejected by Zhong Yuhan, Xu Zuoyan couldn't find anything to say, so he started talking about the wine in Zhong Yuhan's hand. In fact, he was also afraid that if Zhong Yuhan got drunk or something and needed Ye Kaicheng to send him home, that would not be a good thing for him.
"I know." Zhong Yuhan responded in a low voice. As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Zuoyan a few times, as if to confirm whether Xu Zuoyan, who said the words with good intentions, really had good intentions towards her.
"Why don't you go dancing?" Xu Zuoyan paused, then remembered the topic again and pointed to the excitement on the field.
Zhong Yuhan shook her head, not sure whether it was because she was not interested or because she didn't have a dance partner. But Xu Zuoyan directly regarded Zhong Yuhan as having no dance partner, so he actively introduced people to Zhong Yuhan.
"Look, the one over there in the white suit is Mr. Fan. He is famous for being a good dancer and he is very gentleman. And the one over there with blond hair is Mr. Cai, who is also very good at dancing. Okay, I also opened a fitness club, and I have a good figure. See if you like it. If you don’t like it, see which one you like and I will help you make an appointment." Xu Zuoyan introduced Zhong Yuhan enthusiastically.
"Did Sister Shiyun ask you to come?" Zhong Yuhan did not perk up because of Xu Zuoyan's enthusiasm. Instead, he frowned and his eyes turned slightly red.
"What's wrong with you? No, my sister didn't ask me to come. I just wanted to see you alone..." Seeing Zhong Yuhan's eyes red, Xu Zuoyan was startled and said a few words without even thinking about it. , but made Zhong Yuhan cry. This made him very nervous and anxious to explain, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhong Yuhan.
"I know that Sister Shiyun is Brother Kai's girlfriend. I can understand that Sister Shiyun cares so much about Brother Kai. But I didn't think about it. I just wanted to get along well with Brother Kai. I have liked Brother Kai since I was a child, but Because I went abroad, I missed Brother Kai. When I was abroad, I was always worried that Brother Kai would get married before I came back, but my mother said that Brother Kai didn’t have a girlfriend. I was so happy. , thinking about coming back to see Brother Kai as soon as possible. I originally thought that my mother would make the decision, or that I might still have a chance to get close to Brother Kai, but as you can see, Brother Kai just regards me as his sister. Do you know how uncomfortable I feel? ?I originally thought that after we have been together for a long time, maybe Brother Kai will have a good impression of me, but just now, when I saw Sister Shiyun, I already knew that there was no hope for me. Sister Shiyun is so beautiful, I can't compare to it. So I quit. However, Sister Shiyun pressed harder step by step. Do I have to tell her to give up Brother Kai before she is satisfied? Do you think so too, only your sister deserves Brother Kai’s love, and I I can only be a poor guy who gets no response and is still laughed at by you." Zhong Yuhan was a little anxious, tears fell down as he spoke, looking at Xu Zuoyan, his eyes were full of helplessness and sadness. Xu Zuoyan suddenly felt very guilty.
"You, don't cry. I really didn't mean to laugh at you. I just saw that you were lonely here, so I came here to keep you company. I had no other intention." Xu Zuoyan explained hurriedly, digging in his pocket. , but there was no tissue, so I could only watch Zhong Yuhan cry there.
"I know you don't welcome me, I just have to leave." Zhong Yuhan wiped her tears and walked quickly to the exit.
"Hey." Xu Zuoyan was anxious and wanted to follow him, but felt that he couldn't handle Zhong Yuhan, so he had to run quickly to Ye Kaicheng.
