I was stunned, took out my phone and looked at the date, and then realized that today was indeed my birthday.

I am a very nervous person and I always have trouble remembering dates. Not only my own birthday, but also the birthdays of close friends around me or other dates worth celebrating. The only date I can remember is

It's my mother's death anniversary.

Unexpectedly, I have grown one year older, and at the same time I have wasted another year. Time will not favor anyone, and my life still has not improved at all.

Only then did I think of the phone call Annie made to me. I looked at Li Liang with confusion. Li Liang nodded knowingly and said, "Annie has already bought the groceries and should be at your place soon. I said you are a heartless person.

If it weren't for our group of friends, you would be so pitiful that no one even knows your birthday."

I fell silent for a moment. I knew Li Liang didn't mean it, but his words were undoubtedly telling me that I no longer have any relatives in this world.

When I was a child, my mother would boil two eggs for me every birthday because my family was poor. Even if I was not at home for school, my mother would make up for me when I got home.

Later, as the burden brought by his studies became heavier and heavier, and the family's financial conditions became more and more difficult, this habit continued until the death of his mother.

I once said that Anne was always by my side during the most difficult days after my mother's death. Since then, Anne has been with me every birthday. Now that I think about it, not a year has passed since then.

I smiled to myself to hide my emotional changes.

"Yes, yes, thank you! Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly!" I urged in a long tone.

When I arrived at the gate of the community, I saw Annie's car parked at the gate, with two big cabbages in her hands. I also saw Xiang Dong, but I didn't expect him to come too.

At this moment, he was wearing sunglasses and leaning on his off-road vehicle, chatting with Annie. He was also holding a big cake in his hand. I almost didn’t laugh out loud. I thought about how old he is to do this.

.

It must have been Annie who informed him. Due to my relationship with Xiangdong, Annie naturally became familiar with Xiangdong.

This is also due to the approachable personalities of Xiang Dong Zilaishu and Anne, but not Li Liang. I have invited Xiang Dong and Li Liang to have dinner together several times, intending to make them friends, but Xiang Dong has never been able to make friends with Li Liang.

Get acquainted.

According to Xiangdong's words: I can't see through your friend. But I don't understand what he means. Maybe this is the fate between people. Just like some people feel like old friends at first sight and some people can't get along with each other no matter how familiar they are.

.

When Xiangdong saw me getting out of the car, he came over in a hurry. He deliberately imitated the appearance of a gangster on TV and said eloquently: "You are good, but you still come on stage late. I will forget it. Just let me Annie."

My sister has been waiting for you for so long with so many things, do you feel guilty?"

I secretly laughed in my heart that this boy was acting cool when he saw a good-looking girl, so he cooperated with him and bowed his hands and apologized: "I kept you waiting for a long time. I'm guilty of this. Please forgive me for your time, brother and sister Anne."

life!"

Annie couldn't help laughing when she saw us playing tricks. Li Liang and Xiangdong said hello, and then they walked towards the community laughing and joking. Of course, Li Liang and I had already taken the hands of Annie one by one.

It was a heavy thing to twist. I took a look and saw that there was quite a lot of fish and meat. I thought I would be in for a treat again tonight.

After opening the door and entering the house, everyone looked around and sighed. Xiangdong also joked: "You are really lucky. You follow a beautiful woman in and out every day, and you can live in such a luxurious hotel for free."

This house is really enviable!”

I slapped him and said, "Why are you so upset? This house doesn't belong to me. If that crazy woman gets upset, she won't kick me out at any time!"

"So, you have to work hard, and it's best to get your CEO, and our brothers can also benefit from it. At least there will be a bigger place for gatherings occasionally!" Xiang Dong took the opportunity to joke.

Li Liang also said: "Old Wei, I can see that Mr. Mu really appreciates you. If you work hard, you will definitely achieve a lot."

I was speechless and said helplessly: "Okay, stop making fun of me and just be a human being!"

Xiang Dong and Li Liang laughed loudly. Only Anne had her back to me and was sorting the ingredients in the bag without any visible expression. After a moment, she turned around and said with a smile: "I'm going to cook, please wait a moment."

I was busy carrying things and guided Annie into the kitchen. Seeing that Annie had bought so many ingredients, I wanted to help Annie cook them together, but Annie just asked me to tie her apron for her and she pushed her out of the kitchen. I had no choice but to

Give up.

Xiangdong, Li Liang, and I were smoking and chatting in the living room. We learned that Xiangdong’s wife was about to give birth. I was happy for Xiangdong and at the same time, I couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. As a friend, I had never taken the initiative to care about their lives. If it weren’t for

When asked this time, I'm afraid I don't even know that Xiangdong is a father.

After about an hour, Anne came out and took off her apron to inform us that the meal was ready. The three of us came to the restaurant and saw that the dining table was filled with a large table of dishes, with a variety of meat and vegetables.

Xiang Dong couldn't help but praise him again. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to try it first, but Annie, who had quick eyes and quick hands, hit him with chopsticks and said: "Brother Xiang Dong, don't be anxious. Today is my brother's birthday. I want to eat it first."

You have to eat the cake first before dinner can begin, go and get the cake!"

Xiangdong pretended to be aggrieved and went out to get the cake. As he walked, he made a heartbroken gesture and said, "Your brother is his biological son, and we are all stepmothers." After hearing this, Anne looked at me and couldn't help but

He pursed his lips and smiled.

Annie opened the cake and put candles on it one by one with great care. Seeing the serious look on her face, I helplessly looked up at Xiang Dong and Li Liang, both of whom also shook their heads helplessly.

"Annie, how old am I? Can you please stop engaging in these formalities? You don't want me to make a wish!" I said.

"How can this be formalism? Birthdays only happen once a year and of course they have to be grand. Of course birthday wishes also have to be made. I heard that wishes made on birthdays are especially effective!" Anne said with a serious expression.

In my mind, Anne has always been an intellectual and rational modern intellectual woman. I never expected that she would have such a childish side. After lighting the candles, Anne pushed me to the cake and sat me down on the chair and said, "Brother, make a wish!"

It seemed that this formality had to be done today, so he put his hands together and closed his eyes in a pretentious manner and said: "I hope Anne will be safe and happy, and I hope we all can make a fortune!" Then he blew out the candles on the cake with a loud cry.

, Anne and the other three clapped at the same time, and Xiangdong kept cheering and shouting, as if this wish to make a fortune could really come true.

at this time

The doorbell rang suddenly. At first I thought I heard it wrong, because all my few good friends were here, and probably no one would come to me at this time. But when I looked up at Anne and the other three, I realized that

The three of them looked at me with questioning eyes, as if asking: "Did you invite anyone else?" Apparently they also heard the doorbell. I spread my hands and shook my head to express that I didn't know.

I got up and went to the living room to open the door. I thought it was property management personnel again. This is a high-end community where property management personnel often come to visit customers. But the moment I opened the door, I couldn't help but froze. I never expected that

The person standing outside the door was none other than Mu Xichun.

Today, she changed her usual attire. She changed her professional suit into an off-white casual dress and a pair of white sneakers. Her fair skin looked even more breakable with a little makeup. Her long hair looked casual but was actually

With just the right comb on one side, the whole outfit looks elegant, quiet, pure and pleasant.

To say that a person is beautiful because she has this kind of potential. If she changes her style at will, it will be a different scene. She is standing in front of me and looking at me with a smile, holding a bag with her hands behind her back.

But I'm not in the mood to appreciate her beauty at the moment. I don't know the purpose of her visit yet, although she seems to be in a good mood with a smile on her face.

Although she is familiar with Annie and Li Liang, and has had a relationship with Xiang Dong. But after all, she is my and Li Liang’s boss, and we had quite a lot of rifts before. Although the misunderstanding is now resolved, we can’t say we get along well.

It's out of the question.

If we let her in, not to mention that the harmonious atmosphere tonight would be ruined, at least Li Liang and I would not be comfortable. With my temper, we might end up on bad terms.

"You...why are you here?" I couldn't help but stutter when I spoke.

"Why are you so nervous? Are you doing something illegal and criminal in my house?" She obviously noticed my discomfort, and she actually looked into the room while speaking.

"Where is that? Don't talk nonsense!" I blocked her sight with my body.

"No? Then why are you so nervous?" She looked into my eyes and said, and after a moment she seemed to suddenly understand something and then continued: "I know, you must have brought a woman back. When did you make love to her?

Friend? Please introduce me to me!" After saying that, he wanted to break into the room again.

"I don't have any girlfriend, please don't make blind guesses, okay, what on earth are you doing here!"

In desperation, I unexpectedly stretched out my hands to hold her shoulders, and my tone became a little impatient.

I thought that if I could deliberately make her angry and turn around, she might turn around and leave as soon as she gets angry. If that were the case, it would be the best ending.

However, my idea was quickly shattered. Mu Xichun looked at me, and the excited expression on his face suddenly stopped. Just when I thought my plan was successful, Mu Xichun suddenly burst into laughter.
Chapter completed!
