It must be very happy to celebrate a birthday with friends.

At this time, the meaning of the birthday itself is no longer important. What is important is that everyone can use this opportunity to get together, have a rare meal, have some fun, and relieve the boredom and stress in daily life.

After finally blowing out the candles, everyone took down the 22 candles from the cake.

Xu Niannian couldn't wait to raise the plastic knife used to cut the cake, and after hesitatingly divided the cake into eight equal parts, each person got a piece.

The seven-inch cake is not big. When cut into eight parts, it is just a small piece. It is only half the size of a palm when placed on a plate.

Five people sat or stood around the dining table and ate the cake. The sweet cream and cake underneath, along with the surprises of small fruits, soothed everyone's taste buds.

"Okay." Xu Niannian swallowed the cake in one gulp and showed an expression of enjoyment. "I think my cooking skills have improved again. It's my first time to make a cake so delicious."

"Everything is prepared by other cake shops, and you just did some assembly tasks." Xu Xing complained at the side, "Otherwise, you probably wouldn't even be able to make a cake embryo."

"Today is my birthday." Xu Niannian kicked him while holding a plate and eating cake. After saying something immodestly, after swallowing it, he continued, "You are not allowed to talk back to the birthday boy!"

After finishing the cake in their hands, they put the remaining cakes on the table into the refrigerator. The five of them prepared the hot pot one after another and started eating tonight's dinner.

Xu Niannian specially bought a beer to celebrate. Yao Yuanyuan originally wanted to drink because she drove a car after all.

But Xu Niannian said that Yu Youjia would sleep with her today, and Yan Chijuan also pulled her over and said that she could sleep here. Yao Yuanyuan readily agreed, showing off the grace of a big sister, and drank several glasses of wine with a wave of her hand.

When it comes to drinking, Yao Yuanyuan is really worthy of her reputation.

Pei Qinglan usually loves to drink. She also learned to drink from her mother. Just a beer is not enough to fill the gap between her teeth.

In comparison, the bellies of several college students are a bit small.

Even though Xu Xing had a good drinking capacity in his previous life, he has rarely had a drink since his rebirth. What's more, he is the only male tonight and he won't drink as much as Yao Yuanyuan.

"Mr. Xu, are you okay?" Yao Yuanyuan raised her wine glass a little arrogantly and clinked it with Xu Xing, "From now on, when you go out to discuss business with others, how can you do it if you don't know how to drink."

"You are overthinking." Xu Xing smiled and refused to be provoked by her, and just said, "How can the big boss drink by himself? It is an outstanding subordinate like you who helped me stop drinking, and from now on, people will only respect me.

Then if I take a sip, it’s already a great honor.”

"Come, Xu Xing, senior sister offers you a drink." Yu Youjia stood up, held the wine glass and toasted to him with a smile, "Would you like to drink?"

Xu Xing: "...Okay, you guys are awesome."

He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Yu Youjia, and they drank it all in one gulp. After Xu Xing finished drinking, Xu Niannian beside him couldn't wait to fill it up for him and pulled him to continue drinking.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's still early today." Xu Xing took out a few pieces of meat from the hot pot and rested his stomach before continuing to pick up the wine glass.

"The birthday girl is here, you should take the initiative to toast me, you don't have any eyesight."

Usually Xu Xing doesn't drink much.

But in a lively occasion like this, where friends gather privately, it is very suitable to drink alcohol to heat up the atmosphere.

Some jokes that you wouldn't usually tell, some interactions that you don't know how to do, or some gossip that is not suitable for usual talk, you can let it out with the help of wine.

This meal took almost over an hour, from 6:30 pm to nearly 8 pm.

When they get excited about drinking, everyone plays some simple games, and the loser has to accept the punishment of drinking.

Yu Youjia deliberately kept a careful thought. When Xu Niannian and Xu Xing were about to lose, she proposed that the loser should drink a glass of wine.

Xu Niannian happily pulled Xu Xing and drank a glass of wine with him in a carefree manner. Others didn't see anything strange about it and just regarded it as a joke at the wine table.

Anyway, there will be more extreme punishments later, such as letting the loser kiss his face.

But this has nothing to do with Xu Xing. He is just watching and enjoying himself. It is a kind of enjoyment to watch a few girls posting.

In contrast, Yan Chijuan's drinking capacity was completely inferior to that of the others here. He could only take a small sip every time and did not dare to drink more.

If Xu Niannian and the others drank the amount they drank, Yan Chijuan would have collapsed long ago.

But even so, when it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, Yan Chijuan still felt that his head was a little dizzy, but not to the point of being drunk. At least he was still conscious and did not fall drunk into Xu Xing's arms and call her husband.

.

"What else are you going to do in the evening?" Xu Xing was full, stroking his belly and leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the mess on the dining table with no thought of cleaning it up, "Let's have fun today, and we'll clean it up tomorrow.

."

"Let's play poker!" Xu Niannian was clearly prepared. He jumped up from his chair and ran to the coffee table in the living room. After cleaning up all the debris on the coffee table, he waved to everyone, "Bring the wine.

Don’t get drunk tonight!”

It's said that I can't stop getting drunk, but after all, it's a card game, and the intervals between games are relatively long. With the snacks I bought with the meal before dinner, I drink a little wine every time I lose, so I don't get drunk easily.

Xu Niannian is the birthday boy, but he has the worst cards when playing cards. He can't get good cards. Every time Xu Xing draws a little turtle on his face, he screams in anger.

After being pushed down on the sofa by Yu Youjia and Yao Yuanyuan with laughter, Xu Xing laughed and drew a cute little turtle.

"Don't move."

"Have you finished painting? Why are you still painting?" Xu Niannian is now experienced and obviously feels that Xu Xing should have finished painting the turtle, but he has no intention of stopping and suddenly starts struggling on the sofa.

"Don't worry, I was negligent before." Xu Xing motioned to Yu Youjia and Yao Yuanyuan to continue to hold him down, and then said while writing, "How can the little turtle be the same as others? I will help you in Wu** again.

Draw a crown on it.”

A few people were playing poker, drinking, and eating snacks on the sofa, chatting and gossiping while playing cards. They played until about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and everyone's face was covered with paint.

Xu Niannian was the worst. Not only was his face covered with little turtles, but his neck, arms and even his belly were also painted with many things.

Fortunately, the pen I use is easy to wash off, so I don’t have to worry about leaving marks.

But Xu Niannian was still so angry that after several times he finally let Xu Xing lose, he threw him directly on the sofa, clamped his waist tightly with a pair of long legs, and carefully kissed his face.

Go to waste.

Next to him, Yan Chijuan had already been drinking until his face was red, and when he saw this scene, he clapped and laughed stupidly.

After finishing the wine and snacks, Yao Yuanyuan lay on the single sofa next to her with a sad look on her face, lamenting: "I've eaten so much today, and I'm going to gain weight again."

"You don't have a boyfriend. It doesn't matter if you get fat or lose weight." Xu Xing complained, "Just eat happily."

"Speaking as if you are not single." Yao Yuanyuan curled her lips.

Of the five people present today, Yu Youjia is the only one who has a partner, and Xu Xing has the nerve to talk to her.

"Take a shower!" Xu Niannian jumped up from the sofa and hugged Yu Youjia on the other side, "It's been a long time since we took a shower together, let's take a walk."

"Who wants to wash with you?" Yu Youjia pushed her away with a look of disgust, and was stuck to her again. Then she had no choice but to stand up.

Then Yan Chijuan was pulled along by Xu Niannian, thinking that it was not good to leave Yao Yuanyuan alone, so Yan Chijuan reached out his hand to grab Yao Yuanyuan and brought her in.

"Oh no..." Xu Xing was dumbfounded when he saw the four of them walking into the bathroom together like conjoined twins, "Are you sick? There is only a bathroom here but no bathhouse. How can four of us take a bath? Don't catch a cold in the winter."

"There is air conditioning!" Xu Niannian shouted, and he couldn't wait to take a bath with his good sisters.

Watching the four girls enter the bathroom, Xu Xing smashed and smacked his mouth. Looking at the messy living room, dining table and kitchen in front of him, he sighed and decided to clean it up first.

When he was halfway through packing, Xu Xing's phone vibrated.

I took it out and looked at it, and found that it was another message from Gong Ao.

[Gong Ao]: Mr. Xu, I just studied the card games in recent years, including Japanese-style cards from Sakura Country and European and American-style cards from the United States.

[Gong Ao]: As for the local games, they are basically Three Kingdoms-type card games. The gameplay is actually not much different. To be honest, I don’t feel like there are any new ways to explore.

[Xu Xing]: It doesn’t matter. You study it first. There won’t be any big game projects in the company later.

[Xu Xing]: The follow-up should be to maintain the updates and maintenance of the current games, and then launch one or two new lightweight mobile games every quarter.

[Xu Xing]: I can give you half a year to familiarize yourself with the card system and the underlying architecture of the MOBA system. Talents in related fields can also be recruited in advance.

[Gong Ao]: What about the battle royale that Mr. Xu mentioned before? Is this intended to be a client game?

[Xu Xing]: Well, I can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, so you should do the above two first. These are projects that can take as short as six months or as long as several years, so you have to be prepared.

[Gong Ao]: OK, I understand.

After finishing Gong Ao's side, Xu Xing continued to clean up, swept all the garbage into the trash can, stuffed five or six garbage bags in a row, and threw them all on the walkway outside the door, waiting to be taken downstairs tomorrow.

After cleaning for about half an hour, Xu Xing finally finished it and sat back on the sofa, slumped on it and didn't want to move.

In my ears I could hear the sound of gurgling water coming from the bathroom, and the sounds of girls laughing and screaming from time to time.

Usually it takes a long time for Xu Niannian and Yan Chiju to take a bath, and it usually depends on whether they wash their hair.

If you want to wash your hair, it will take at least an hour.

Now four girls are crowded in the same bathroom, and they don't know how long they will have to take a shower.

Xu Xing lay on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief. He was still thinking about Yan Chijuan. It would be great if he could hold her and rest at this moment.

Just as she was thinking this, there was a sound of the bathroom door opening, and then the door was closed again.

The sound of someone walking in with slippers reached Xu Xing's ears.

Xu Xing, who was still keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes curiously and looked towards the bathroom corridor, only to see Yan Chijuan, wearing only a bath towel, walking out from the other end with a red face.

"You, don't look..." Yan Chijuan covered the waves on his chest with one hand, and held the hem of the bath towel with one hand, barely covering a small part, revealing a pair of white and lovely legs, as if they could pinch

Come out of the water.

"Why are you the only one coming out?"

"I've washed it." Yan Chijue pointed at his short hair and whispered, "I washed it faster. Come out and get them a clean bath towel."
