As time goes on, memories will gradually mottle things away. But some things, some scenes, will definitely be like the most stubborn color blocks, shining brightly and looking new for a long time. For Xue Xi, the scene in front of him was exactly like this.
Like a scene in a movie. The balloon light on the cobblestone ground moved slowly, and the cold winter air penetrated from the neck, but people didn't feel the cold, but it was very warm. It was obviously quiet, but it seemed to hear the excitement.
He has not been able to celebrate his birthday for three years.
Seeing the young man standing there in a daze, Zhou Yizhi urged him, "Come in!"
Xue Xi licked his dry lips, and walked towards her in three steps with long legs.
As soon as the two entered the door, they could smell the aroma coming from the kitchen. Aunt He was burning ribs, and the butler was still squatting in the corner stepping on balloons. A bunch of balloons were thrown around him, creating a very birthday atmosphere.
Xue Xi subconsciously glanced at the cake in his hand, and only then did he realize that Zhou Yizhi made the cake himself twice, and it was for him...
He was flattered and almost felt like he was in a dream, but everything in front of him was so real.
There was an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Xue Xi couldn't help holding his breath lightly, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
He was going to put the cake on the coffee table, but he suddenly felt that it was cheaper to put the cake on the coffee table, so he continued to hold the cake and looked at Zhou Yizhi.
It was the first time for Zhou Yizhi to do this kind of secret arrangement of birthday surprises, and she was very inexperienced. When her brother glanced at her, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She pretended to look at the ceiling calmly, then turned around and flew away. He ran over and squatted next to the butler, and said without words: "Hey, Uncle He, let me tie the balloon for you!"
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, I can do this kind of thing. Isn't it Xue Xi's birthday today? You children, hurry up and play!"
Hearing the sound, Aunt He poked her head out from the kitchen, shook the water off her hands, and said to the two of them, "I don't know when you will come back, so Aunt He is late for dinner, are you hungry? Have some fruit pads first." Pad your stomach. Don’t eat cakes first, it’s too easy to get bored, eat them as dessert after dinner.”
Zhou Yizhi nodded and said, "Yeah, good."
Xue Xi walked to the coffee table, wiped the coffee table with a paper towel, and then put the cake on top, the one he made was pressed down, and the one made by Zhou Yizhi was placed on top solemnly.
Zhou Yizhi looked at him while blowing up the balloon, and felt shy when he saw it.
As for the ugly cake I made by myself, thanks to my brother, I don't dislike it.
Xue Xi took a fruit knife from the kitchen, put the plate under it, put an orange on it, rolled up his sleeves, exposed his handsome forearm, and cut the orange into eight pieces. He carried the plate and walked to Zhou Yizhi's side , said to her: "Eat some oranges to pad your stomach first."
Zhou Yizhi looked at his beautiful hands, then raised his eyes to look at him again. Although the elder brother didn't say anything, but the fresh warmth dripped from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, he looked at himself with gentle eyes, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly... Zhou Yizhi knew it, and his elder brother was very happy.
For some reason, seeing him happy, Zhou Yizhi couldn't help grinning and laughing.
The smile was so clean that it was a bit silly: "Brother, how can you cut oranges so well?! All eight pieces are so even?!"
The butler was a little surprised by Zhou Yizhi's flattery, and glanced at the oranges on Xue Xi's plate. They were indeed well cut, but why did the young lady suddenly so generous in flattering them? ! What about the previous coldness and criticism? !
"It's very simple." Xue Xi said calmly, but as if infected by her smile, Xue Xi's ears turned red suddenly. He walked to the coffee table and put the cut oranges there: "Put them here."
"Yeah." Zhou Yizhi took an orange, went to the side of the trash can, tore off the skin, and stuffed it into his mouth contentedly.
Xue Xi sat down on the sofa, took out a tissue, and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Seeing the interaction between the two, the housekeeper and Aunt He were a little surprised. In fact, before the young man came to Zhou's house, they were very worried that Zhou Yizhi would have any resistance. Will they reject this young man because of this, and think of ways to punish him——It’s not like Zhou Yizhi has never punished the cousin who came to Zhou’s house before.
But they never expected that things would develop in another direction that they hadn't expected at all. Except for the awkwardness between the two when Xue Xi first arrived, now they accompany each other and go to school together, and their relationship is very harmonious.
He dotes on the young lady very much, and the young lady seems to like him quite a bit.
The housekeeper and Aunt He were happy to see it happen.
Aunt He cooked a table of dishes, including pork ribs and shrimps, because Zhou Yizhi had told him in advance that almost all the dishes on this big table tonight were Xue Xi's favorites, and Aunt He cooked them with special care, with all the flavors and tastes. A photo can be uploaded to a gourmet website without any filter.
Xue Xi sat down, looking at the table full of dishes according to his own taste, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yizhi.
Zhou Yizhi didn't notice it, and was biting his chopsticks with a smile, and said to Aunt He and the housekeeper, "Let's eat together."
Aunt He and the housekeeper did not refuse, and sat down to eat together. After eating and drinking, the housekeeper and Aunt He raised their cups and said to Xue Xi, "Happy birthday, I hope you and Miss will be healthy in the future." Xi's heart moved slightly, with a sincere smile on the corner of his mouth, he said "Thank you Aunt He and Uncle He" to the two of them.
The butler's glass was wine, and the others' glasses were Sprite. After the alcohol got a little tingly, the butler couldn't help bragging that his son, who was in the sixth grade of elementary school, won the math test again. He is so smart that he will definitely be able to go to a good university. After going to a good university and earning money for him to spend, he will no longer be a housekeeper.
Aunt He looked embarrassed and tried to wake him up.
Zhou Yizhi couldn't help smiling, she turned her head to look at Xue Xi, the young man had a handsome side face, and also smiled, looked at her, thought for a while, stretched out her hand and moved Zhou Yizhi's favorite dish in front of her.
Zhou Yizhi couldn't help muttering: "I'm full, I can't eat anymore..."
After eating and drinking, the housekeeper regained consciousness a little and asked Zhou Yizhi: "Miss, where is the cake you bought back, can you give me two pieces and let me take it back?"
Zhou Yi raised her chin: "Over there."
The butler went over to get it.
But Zhou Yizhi suddenly remembered one important thing - the cake she made was so ugly! How can the housekeeper and Aunt He see it? !
Watching helplessly as the butler was about to open the cake on top, Zhou Yizhi stood up in panic to stop him, but before that, Xue Xi beside him had strode over, held the butler's hand that was about to touch the cake, and told the butler He said with a smile, "Uncle He, take the following one back, and leave the top one for me and Yizhi."
The butler didn't care which one, so he took the one below and divided it with Aunt He.
Zhou Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.
Xue Xi hugged her cake in his arms, and looked back at her, wondering if it was because of the smile on the corner of his mouth, when the light fell, his expression looked so gentle that it was unreasonable. The boy was tall and big, with a broad back and narrow waist, his sleeves rolled up, looking young and clean.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Yizhi suddenly felt a little restless in his heart. It has been so long since he was reborn, his brother is gentle to him, as good as ever, but why hasn't he fallen in love with him yet—when will he fall in love with himself ah? !
Zhou Yizhi wailed inwardly.
Because he has no feelings for himself yet, he can't do many things, can't kiss, can't hug, teasing him is like teasing a monk.
Is it my own teasing that still needs some heat
Zhou Yizhi thought to himself.
Do you have to work harder
The housekeeper had to go home in the evening, Aunt He washed the dishes, greeted Zhou Yizhi, and was about to leave. Zhou Yizhi responded, staring at the half bottle of red wine left, suddenly Fu Ling's heart came.
She splashed the red wine into her glass and drank it all in one gulp before Xue Xi could react.
Xue Xi snatched her cup, but it was already empty, Xue Xi frowned and said, "Why are you drinking this all of a sudden? There is Sprite next to it."
Zhou Yizhi wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm too thirsty."
Speaking of which, Zhou Yizhi is a little proud. Her drinking capacity has changed according to Zhou. It can be said that she will never get drunk after a thousand glasses. Whether it is beer or red wine, it is very difficult to get drunk. The highest concentration of white wine, drinking half a bottle of it will not cause much feeling except dizziness.
With such a drinking capacity, Zhou Du can get along well in the business field, and Zhou Yizhi will never cause any embarrassing things because of drinking a little wine.
Therefore, at this time, she finished drinking a glass of red wine, as if she had drunk a drink, except for quenching her thirst, she felt nothing at all.
――But the problem is that my sixteen-year-old brother doesn't know.
It was the first time he saw her drinking, and he didn't know how much she could drink. If she did something by being drunk, she would stare innocently the next day, and act like a deer and say that she forgot, what could brother say.
Zhou Yizhi propped his chin with one hand, stared at Xue Xi with a smile on his face, but quickly thought of a small idea in his mind.
The things on the dining table have been packed by Aunt He, Xue Xi said to Zhou Yizhi, "Go up and take a shower, and then come down to cut the cake?"
Zhou Yizhi nodded, stood up, walked forward, but staggered, reached the stairs, almost staggered, Xue Xi's heart tightened, and quickly stepped forward to support her.
"Be careful, does your foot hurt—"
Before he could speak, Zhou Yizhi, who was supported by him, suddenly turned around, looked up at him, his eyes gleamed with water, and his hands suddenly put on his neck, his soft voice seemed soft and coquettish, Every once in a while it touched people's heart: "Brother, you carry me up."
Xue Xi looked down at her and was stunned.
"Are you drunk?" Xue Xi asked.
Zhou Yizhi is well aware that people who are drunk will definitely say that they are not drunk. In order to make the scene more realistic, she waved her hands indiscriminately: "I am not drunk!"
The elder brother seemed a little at a loss, paused for a moment, helped her stand firmly, walked up to her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Well, I'll carry you upstairs."
Zhou Yizhi lay on his back, looked at the boy's red earlobes, and gently leaned over to peck him.
The brother who was carrying her on his back was about to go up the stairs when suddenly his whole body became stiff, his whole body was dumbfounded, and his raised feet just stopped there.
Zhou Yizhi's heart was also beating very fast, and she lied on his back in a disguised manner, and shouted loudly: "I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk!"
I'm not drunk.
Xue Xi's heart was beating like a drum, and it was like three thunderbolts fell from his head. He thought in disbelief, how could she be drunk with just such a glass of red wine? He knew she had always been a good drinker.
But if he wasn't drunk, how, how could he do such a thing to himself? !
She kissed her earlobe
Did she kiss her earlobe just now? !
