Zhan Yiyang took Xu Rongrong's hand and walked step by step to the three-layer cake.
At this time, following the song on the stereo, the surrounding relatives and friends had already spontaneously sang happy birthday.
"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you..."
Xu Rongrong glanced at Zhan Yiyang, then closed his eyes, put his hands together in front of his chest, and began to make a wish silently.
About a minute later, Xu Rongrong opened his eyes, glanced at Zhan Yiyang again, and raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What wish did you make?" Zhan Yiyang asked Xu Rongrong in a low voice.
Xu Rongrong shook his head mischievously, "It won't work if I say it, I won't tell you."
"Okay, let's blow out the candles." Zhan Yiyang lowered his head helplessly and looked at Xu Rongrong dotingly.
"Tian Ning, accompany mom to blow out the candles." Xu Rongrong bent down, hugged Tian Ning by his legs, and then leaned forward slightly. Zhan Yiyang stood behind her, holding Xu Rongrong's hands with his mother's
They were both completely in his arms.
The family of three blew out the candles together, Xu Rongrong put Tianning down, and Zhan Yiyang held her hand and cut the cake.
Because the cake was so big, it was impossible to divide it all.
So Xu Rongrong just symbolically cut two pieces and gave them to the children, then put the knife aside, and there was a small pile of plates next to it - whoever wanted to eat could just cut it themselves.
After cutting the cake, the music on the stereo was switched back to the waltz.
Someone started dancing in the middle of the living room. Zhan Yiyang took two glasses of red wine and handed one to Xu Rongrong.
Others were sipping red wine, eating desserts, or dancing on the dance floor.
Only one woman sneaked into the bathroom without anyone noticing.
This woman is Ouyang Jiaojiao.
Just now when Zhan Yiyang was holding Xu Rongrong and cutting the cake, her eyes looking back were almost on fire.
It should have all been hers, it was all hers, but in the end, it was taken away by this woman Xu Rongrong! She deserved to die!
Thinking of this, Ouyang Jiaojiao's eyes shot out with a vicious look.
She reached into her bag with her left hand, took out a small transparent bottle, and held it tightly in her palm.
"Haha, Xu Rongrong, after tonight, what you have will no longer be yours."
After laughing softly twice, Ouyang Jiaojiao walked out of the bathroom.
At this moment, in the living room, three pairs of people were dancing.
After taking a closer look, they turned out to be Zhan Yilin and his wife, Min Shiyan and his wife, and Ji Fanyi and his wife.
Min Yuexiu was being held by Liang Shuxian. He didn't cry, but just watched Tianning teaching Nianen how to play with the rope. Occasionally, he would break into a smile, which was very cute.
As for Xu Rongrong and Zhan Yiyang, they were tasting red wine while commenting on the dancing postures of the three couples.
"Yilin must have trained too much, and her dancing is a bit stiff."
"Yixuan can't let go, but Shiyan's dancing is great."
"Yi Zi...hey, hey, Yiyang, what are you doing?"
Xu Rongrong looked at Zhan Yiyang in surprise, wondering why he dragged himself into the dance circle.
"Seeing how you judge others, why don't we do the dance ourselves." Zhan Yiyang smiled at Xu Rongrong, holding her with one hand and standing in front of him, "Put your left hand on my shoulder, and look at my waist with your right hand.
, move slowly to the beat.”
Xu Rongrong glanced at him with some embarrassment, "Although I haven't actually skipped it, I can still waltz."
To be a kindergarten teacher, you always need to be both morally and artistically talented, and you have to be good at everything.
Although waltz is not something that students major in, as it is the most commonly used dance at banquets, the principal still requires every teacher to know the basics of it.
At the beginning, Xu Rongrong's steps were a bit awkward, and she would occasionally step on Zhan Yiyang's leather shoes, but soon, within ten minutes, she was able to keep up with Zhan Yiyang's rhythm.
As the music progresses, the two people's cooperation becomes more and more tacit.
At some point, the people around them stopped dancing and looked at the two outstanding and handsome people in the middle of the living room, their faces overflowing with blessings.
Twisting to the beat, as the dance music came to an end, at this moment, the hearts and souls of Xu Rongrong and Zhan Yiyang were deeply connected.
When the song ended, Xu Rongrong leaned into Zhan Yiyang's arms with a graceful gesture.
There were applause sounds all around, and Ye Zi'an's teasing voice, "It's a good dance, Rongrong, do you want to play another song?"
"No, no." Xu Rongrong, who was already panting slightly, waved his hands hurriedly, "Let everyone dance, I will take a break."
Although the movements of the waltz are not fast, it is still a waste of mental energy to coordinate well. Xu Rongrong has only recovered from a serious illness, and it will definitely be too much to do it again.
And Zhan Yilin and Ye Zi'an are two or three months pregnant. It's okay to dance once, but Chen Haoran and Ji Fanyi will definitely not agree to it the second time.
As for Gu Yixuan, she is a quiet woman and doesn't like dancing very much.
So the four couples found a quiet corner and sat down together.
They were chatting happily, but they didn't see Ouyang Jiaojiao's almost distorted face.
"Happy birthday, Rongrong." As soon as he sat down, Ye Zi'an sent a formal blessing and handed over a paper bag in his hand.
"You can just come. You even brought a gift. You are so polite, Ye Zi." Xu Rongrong took the paper bag with some surprise.
She thought it was good that everyone took the time to come, but she didn't expect that they even brought her a gift.
"Of course I have to bring a gift. After all, this is your most formal birthday party in a long time." Ye Zi'an smiled. Although she and Xu Rongrong have known each other for so many years, she spent her birthdays every year in an extremely low-key manner and never organized
Have a banquet.
"That's right. Sister-in-law's birthday is the one who should receive birthday gifts, so just go ahead." Zhan Yilin said with a smile, and took a paper bag from behind and stuffed it into Xu Rongrong.
Gu Yixuan pursed her lips and said nothing, but she also stuffed a paper bag over her.
Xu Rongrong held three paper bags, feeling quite embarrassed, "Thank you."
"Why are you being polite to us?" Ye Zi'an smiled, "Let's see if you like it."
Since his friends had said so, Xu Rongrong didn't hesitate and opened the package directly in front of everyone.
What Ye Zi'an gave as a gift was an out-of-print diamond necklace, a thin sterling silver chain with a simple flower diamond on the front.
It seems simple, but those who know the art know that this is the final work of a jewelry design master in 2005.
The simple design exudes unique beauty, neither luxurious nor dazzling. The simple chain and simple pendant are very restrained in beauty. They are very suitable for Xu Rongrong. You can tell from the first glance that they were chosen with care.
Xu Rongrong smiled and glanced at Ye Zi'an. She has been her best friend for many years and she is always the one who knows what she likes best.
Zhan Yilin gave her a dagger, which suited her character very well and was the first female special forces soldier to do something like this.
However, a dagger that can be given as a gift is definitely not an ordinary thing. Since Xu Rongrong didn't understand, Zhan Yiyang acted as her explanation.
"It is said that this is the dagger used by Emperor Kangxi. It can be used to blow hair and break hair, and it can cut iron like clay. There are many people in the world who want to own it, but I didn't expect Yilin to give it to you." At this point, Zhan Yi
Yang was also a little surprised.
Zhan Yilin knew how much Zhan Yilin liked this dagger, but he didn't expect that she would actually give it to Xu Rongrong, which was really surprising.
"My sister-in-law doesn't know martial arts or how to use a gun, so it's always a bit dangerous. This dagger is of no use to me. It's better to help my sister-in-law defend herself." Zhan Yilin smiled lightly and patted Xu Rongrong's hand.
Xu Rongrong was a little touched. She knew how precious the things used by Emperor Kangxi were. Although Zhan Yilin was not short of money, Xu Rongrong was really touched by giving the antiques to her so generously.
What Gu Yixuan sent was a bead string, a fine suet-fat jade bead string that had been ordained by a master.
Suet-fat jade is hard to find, but it feels so good and has such a uniform color that it is even more rare to find. Xu Rongrong also felt Gu Yixuan's painstaking efforts.
"Thank you for your birthday gift, I like it very much." Xu Rongrong smiled slightly, holding the three bags in his arms, feeling full of happiness.
But soon, this warm moment was interrupted, and Ouyang Jiaojiao appeared again.
"Brother Yiyang, I have something to ask you." Ouyang Jiaojiao looked at Zhan Yiyang with tears in her eyes, as if the tears would flow out immediately if he didn't talk to her.
Zhan Yiyang was determined not to pay attention to her, so he turned around and pretended not to see her.
However, Zhan Yiyang can ignore it, but Xu Rongrong cannot.
She looked at Ouyang Jiaojiao with a faint smile, "I wonder what happened to Miss Ouyang?"
I thought Ouyang Jiaojiao would be entangled, but she suddenly put away her tears and showed a forced smile, "It's nothing, Mrs. Zhan, I just came to give something to Brother Yiyang."
After saying that, he ignored the surprised expressions of others and directly threw the thing in his hand to Zhan Yiyang, "Brother Yiyang, let me use this thing to beg you once, okay?"
As soon as the thing fell into his hand, Zhan Yiyang's expression changed.
"Yiyang?" Xu Rongrong looked at him worriedly.
"It's nothing." Zhan Yiyang shook his head, suppressed his unhappiness, and stood up, "Ouyang Jiaojiao, what do you want me to do?"
Ouyang Jiaojiao bit her lower lip, looking pitiful, "I want you to follow me to the balcony on the second floor. I have something to say to you."
If you have anything to say, you have to say it alone on the second floor.
Xu Rongrong raised his head, hoping that Zhan Yiyang would not agree.
But unexpectedly, Zhan Yiyang agreed, "Okay, I'll go, but this is the last time. If you use this right, you will never have it again."
"I know." Ouyang Jiaojiao lowered her head, "I'll wait for you. Come quickly."
After saying that, he hurried up to the second floor.
Zhan Yiyang lowered his head and looked at the stunned Xu Rongrong.
He bent down, held her little face, and stared at Xu Rongrong's eyes, "Rongrong, you have to believe me."
"I know." Xu Rongrong nodded blankly, "But, what did she give you just now?"
"It's a bottle." Zhan Yiyang handed the glass bottle in his hand to Xu Rongrong, "I gave it to her when I was a child."
