Chapter Thirty-Three Birthday Banquet Four

  Thinking it's just a few steps, I originally didn't plan to send them downstairs, but Shouxing unexpectedly held three duck palms as command arrows, facing this naked threat, I really didn't dare not comply.

  As soon as Xiaoyu went out the door, she coughed twice. I asked: "What's wrong?"

  "It's nothing," she coughed twice more, "just a bit of an itchy throat."

  "Oh."

  "Oh? Yaoyao, you're just like this all of a sudden? You don't even care about me!"

  I stared at her inexplicably: "I just meant to ask you casually, so if your throat itches, do I have to crawl in and scratch it for you?"

  "Ugh, you're so disgusting!"

  "I'm speechless: 'Then what exactly do you want me to do?'"

  Cheng Qiao interrupted: "She wants you to see her exchanging eye contact with Mu Mu."

  I looked over in surprise and they immediately turned their heads away from each other, one to the left and one to the right.

  She stood in front of the elevator for less than half a minute, and then Xiaoyu suddenly said that she ate too much tonight and wanted to climb the stairs to digest it. Then she quickly handed me the packed dishes and pulled MuMu's hand to open the door on the other side and left. The whole set of actions was done in one go, and I didn't even have time to express any opinion before the white door closed, and the next second I heard their screams.

  Cheng Qiao was just about to go over when he saw them rush out again.

  "Mommy! It's so dark!"

  "The indicator light was still on, and the green glow was terrifying!"

  Both of them patted their chest with a look of lingering fear.

  I leaned against the wall and covered my mouth tightly.

  Xiaoyu glared at me: "The indicator light is broken and you didn't say anything, are you doing it on purpose?!"

  I frowned seriously and shook my head while continuing to cover my mouth.

  She was so angry that she pinched my waist: "What are you covering up for? Your shoulders are shaking like this!"

  While dodging, I choked on a breath of air, and my smile instantly disappeared. After taking a deep breath, I said: "This can't be blamed on me, I originally wanted to say something, but who told you to run so fast?"

  Cheng Qiao sincerely echoed a sentence: "You... really ran too fast."

  They all fell silent.

  This silence lasted until we walked into the elevator, and at first there was nothing, because I was thinking that when I got back, the duck feet should have been completely eliminated. When I finally put my mind at ease, I turned around to see Xiaoyu staring straight at... Qiao's profile.

  Although that gaze wasn't directly on me, looking at her eyes still made me feel a chill run down my spine. I swallowed hard: "Xiao Yu?"

  "Huh?" She turned her gaze to me with a fake smile.

  I waved my hand decisively: "Nothing, you go on!"

  She stroked her chin for a moment before saying solemnly: "Xiao Qiao, when can we go to your school and take a look at you?"

  Just then, Mu Mu turned around and bumped into him: "Hey, Xiao Qiao, senior, Xiaoyu was just joking, don't take it seriously."

  Cheng Qiao shook her head and smiled at Xiao Yu: "Of course, come whenever you want."

  Xiaoyu's shoulders obviously shrank down a bit.

  At this time, the elevator door opened, and Xiaoyu and Momo rushed out immediately. I was about to follow up when Cheng Qiao stepped forward and blocked me at the door with his hand.

  I stared at him blankly.

  He smiled very movingly: "A Yao, it's enough to send you here."

  When I got home, I found that my aunt and uncle had already returned. In the dining room, only Mr. Bai was left packing up the cake boxes. The sound of the door opening made him look up: "You're back so soon?"

  I immediately said: "Dad, I really sent them out of the community gate."

  He smiled and said, "I don't even understand my own daughter. Just by looking at your guilty face, I know you're lying."

  I tensely whispered to him: "Don't let mom hear it!"

  "She is taking a bath and can't hear."

  "That's good." I breathed a sigh of relief and helped him pick up the remaining half of the candles, "Where did you buy this cake tonight? It tastes great, I also want to learn how to make it. Who knows, maybe one day I can turn my dessert shop into a dessert cake shop haha."

  "En, not bad." He nodded in agreement, "What about the boss?"

  I stiffened for a moment: "Dad, repeat it once more, I didn't hear clearly."

  "When are you going to find a boss for your dessert cake shop?"

  "I'm fed up with all these black lines: 'Who said I hated marriage tonight? It's tiring to live a contradictory life, isn't it?'"

  He smiled indifferently: "Anyway, I'm your dad, even if it's contradictory, you have to accept it."

  I was defeated by his nonsense: "What exactly are you trying to express?"

  He said with a serious tone: "Yao Yao, you can't just focus on your dessert shop and occasionally talk about romance to relax. After all, you're only 20 years old. Nowadays, it's free love, so we naturally won't interfere with young people's affairs, but you also can't miss out on the good guys around you." He paused for a moment, "Besides, you're not that young anymore, it's time to settle down, and relying on your parents forever is not an option."

  Self-contradictory dad, actually you only wanted to express the last sentence, right! I shouted in my heart.

  "Your parents are still very open-minded." He continued to ponder for a moment, "So, as long as the person you like has passed our family's test, even if you want to get married suddenly this summer, we won't have any objections."

  I coolly said: "You guys are so lawless... it's really quite straightforward."

  "That's if you're willing." He raised an eyebrow and said, "It's late, go take a bath and sleep. I'll go out and throw it away."

  I nodded silently.

  Soon after washing up and lying in bed, I couldn't fall asleep.

  When Cheng Qiao said that it would be fine to send it there, I actually hesitated for a moment, but this hesitation was almost the same as not hesitating at all, because I still very happily accepted his proposal.

  But he suddenly stopped smiling and became very serious: "We are friends, aren't we?"

  I was infected by his seriousness and seriously said: "Right."

  "It's a bit more difficult than I imagined..." He looked at me with some resentment, "A Yao, you made me feel so useless for the first time."

  I was taken aback: "Huh?"

  "It's okay, I still have time." He smiled at me and said, "See you tomorrow."

  He took two steps back, waved at me with a smile as brilliant as the most gorgeous peony under sunlight. The elevator door slowly closed amidst such a smile, and I leaned against the handrail, lost in a daze.

  Fortunately, no one came in all the way, and I secretly felt lucky at that time.

  But Cheng Qiao's abrupt and inexplicable words left me baffled, this feeling of being on the verge of understanding yet unable to grasp it was even more frustrating than when a storyteller says "to be continued" only to drop dead on his way home.

  I opened my eyes and stared at the pitch-black ceiling, yeah...

  I must remember to ask Cheng Qiao clearly tomorrow!
