After watching the movie, it was dark outside.

The two people's hands were still tightly intertwined, and Ye Hehuan couldn't bear to let go. His right hand was still holding Yu Zhongxiao's strong arm. Like other couples coming out of the cinema, she snuggled up to him with a tangled face.

He said to himself: "It's a little early for dinner, what should we do now?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Yu Zhongxiao lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on her face hinting at addiction.

Ye Hehuan hugged his arm tightly, her cheeks were slightly red, and she pretended to think seriously: "Well, let me think about it... that's right!"

As if she thought of something, she withdrew her hand from his arm, lowered her head and took out the invitation drawn by Lu Jinyan from her bag. With the corners of her lips curved, she handed it to Yu Zhongxiao with a bit of flattery and a hint of treasure.

in front of.

"What is it?" Yu Zhongxiao took it and opened it. It looked like a child's random graffiti.

Ye Hehuan took his arm again and got close to him: "My cousin's birthday is coming soon, and this is his birthday party invitation to my boyfriend."

"Your cousin knows your boyfriend? Does he know your boyfriend's name?" A deep male voice said.

"..."

Ye Hehuan was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and found that he was looking directly at her. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She reached out to get back the inferior invitation and shouted: "Hey, I'm kidding you."

Yes, please return the paper to me quickly, the little brat must have secretly stuffed it into my bag!"

But Yu Zhongxiao raised his hand and raised the "invitation" above his head, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach it.

His voice rang in her ears: "Do you want to take back the things you sent out?"

"It's not for you." Ye Hehuan's face turned red. Without looking at him, he said harshly: "I'll just take it out and show it to you!"

She didn't know what was wrong with her these days, she was so thin-skinned that she blushed easily.

Yu Zhongxiao lowered his head and looked at her: "Didn't you say it was for your boyfriend?"

"..."

His deep voice also had a deliberately low hoarseness, and his breath brushed her cheek intentionally or unintentionally, tugging at her heartstrings. He must have done it on purpose. Every word and every sentence seemed to be forcing her to admit that...

Wrong, she was just pretending that he was her boyfriend.

When Ye Hehuan was speechless with embarrassment, he heard Yu Zhongxiao say again: "Let's go."

She saw that the 'invitation' had been folded and put into his trouser pocket, and he took two steps before she calmed down and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Buying a birthday present for your cousin." His answer was simple.

Ye Hehuan felt ashamed and wanted to stop him: "I'm really joking with you, why do you take it seriously? There is really no need to buy it."

"Well, that's my early birthday gift to him." Yu Zhongxiao held her hand tightly and asked her, "What does your cousin like to play?"

"Actually, you really don't need to buy it..." She said in a low voice.

"This is basic courtesy." Yu Zhongxiao suddenly touched her head, an action that contained some subtle emotions, and interrupted her: "Now that I have seen it, it is impossible to pretend not to know. Besides, people even

I asked you to send the invitation letter."

He said the second half of the sentence in a teasing tone.

Ye Hehuan felt inexplicably moved, tightened his strong hand, and pouted: "You really have principles, and you are polite to a little kid."

"Who told him to be your cousin?"

The eight words he said seemed like a joke, neither light nor heavy, but they were like eight pebbles thrown into the calm lake of her heart, causing ripples in circles, and she could not regain her calmness for a long time.

At this moment, Ye Hehuan tasted the feeling of being held in the palm of the hand by the person he liked.

When she leaned against the corner of the children's toy counter and watched Yu Zhongxiao carefully and rigorously choose gifts for Lu Jinyan, her nose felt a little sour, and a warm current flowed through her heart. Only when you really care about someone

Only then will she take the time to be nice to other people around her.

This was how I used to be, trying my best to please anyone related to Yan Yu.

She recalled what Yu Zhongxiao said a year ago when he rejected her at Fengcheng Railway Station. Those words he said ruthlessly and realistically told her that their life circles were like two parallel lines that had nothing to do with each other.

Methods create intersection.

So now, is Yu Zhongxiao trying hard to fit into her circle?

…

Yu Zhongxiao’s final birthday gift was a student microscope.

Looking at the large number of coverslips, slides, dyes and other gifts, Ye Hehuan covered his mouth and almost laughed. The old man was just having fun. Even the gifts he chose had a strong air of abstinence.

Normally, children are given remote control planes or cars for birthdays, but for him, even a birthday gift was a reminder to his children to study hard.

Coming out of the toy store, Ye Hehuan hugged his arm: "Uncle, you must have been a top student when you were in school, right?"

She meant to tease him by saying this, but Yu Zhongxiao actually answered seriously: "It should be pretty good. I usually rank among the top five in the school in the monthly exams, and in the final exams, if nothing unexpected happens, I usually rank first."

"What if something happens?"

"Tie for first place with others."

"..."

Ye Hehuan pouted her little mouth and snorted: "You top academics like to be falsely modest and hypocritical! In fact, you really wish that everyone knew how good you are. On the surface, you look indifferent and superior, but in your heart you are already thinking

Roar, ah~ Come and praise me and worship me!"

She raised her eyes inadvertently and found that the man was looking at her with lowered eyes. The smile on his lips was very faint, vague, but full of indulgence.

In Ye Hehuan's past memories, Yu Zhongxiao was a man who rarely smiled and didn't even show his emotions, especially in front of Han Jingqiu.

Seeing him smiling like this now, Ye Hehuan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned away his eyes, deliberately raising his voice and tugging on his shirt to force him to agree with his analysis: "Did I speak your mind?"

"Um."

This time the two of them did not take the sightseeing elevator, but stepped onto the escalator next to it.

Ye Hehuan walked in front. As soon as she stood firm, she turned back and grabbed the man behind her by his pigtails. She said with a proud face: "Look, you have admitted it yourself!"

She was just about to educate this show-off academic, but what she said immediately made her blush.

"So originally I wanted to enjoy the feeling of being worshiped by a little girl, but I didn't expect that the little girl would find out."

o(*▽*)q

Do you want to be so honest, do you want to be so direct?!

Ye Hehuan cleared her throat. She recalled the last time she was at the shooting range, and couldn't help but want to expose him again: "That time you shot several bullets into one hole, was it intentional?"

"A little bit." He admitted directly without even the slightest hesitation.

He was so frank that Ye Hehuan didn't know what to do. He swallowed back the words he was planning to make things difficult for, but his heart became sweeter.

This kind of Yu Zhongxiao was a little different from the taciturn man in the past, but she couldn't tell what was different. However, no matter how he changed, Ye Hehuan knew very well that she was deeply in love with this man. That was

A depth and persistence that I have never experienced before.

She suddenly remembered Liang Zheng who had been transferred away, and she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she asked him: "Did you suddenly transfer Instructor Liang back on purpose?"

When Ye Hehuan thought he would nod his acquiescence again, Yu Zhongxiao said: "There was temporarily an extra spot in the army to go to the military academy for further training, and several young and promising officers were selected, including Liang Zheng. Finally, they discussed it internally.

The final candidate has been determined.”

Ye Hehuan was dubious, and then thought about the lukewarm and indifferent attitude of the man in the stands towards him, which meant he was trying to settle scores later.

"Then why didn't you tell me when I asked you, and why were you so cruel to me?"

"Have it?"

Want to deny it? Ye Hehuan reminded him confidently: "No? You asked me to take care of myself first, and after that, I lowered my head to look at things by myself. You don't know how embarrassed I was standing there at that time. Also, I went there that night.

I came to find you and you still let me go. Every time I think about it, I get so angry that I can’t sleep!"

"Something really happened at that time." Yu Zhongxiao said.

"Forgive you for the time being..." She came down from the escalator and walked side by side with him, holding his arm tighter with her hands. After a while, she raised her head after realizing: "I asked so many questions, do you know how to do it?"

Feeling annoyed?"

"Won't."

Ye Hehuan could hear the connivance towards her in his tone, and she also knew that not just any woman could enjoy this specialness. Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up to the maximum, and the sweetness spread from the tip of her heart to her limbs.

Eventually it spread to all the blood vessels in the body, and no matter how hard it was, it couldn't be restrained...

——

Dinner was still at the food court of Wanda Plaza.

Yu Zhongxiao was in charge of ordering, while Ye Hehuan sat on his seat, swinging his feet and looking around boredly. He felt bloated in the middle and went to the bathroom.

When she came back, she sat down and subconsciously went to pick up the mobile phone in her bag. She found that there were two missed calls, both from home. One missed call happened to be a few minutes ago.

While watching the movie, she deliberately muted her phone in order to enjoy the two of them.

Sensing the two glances, Ye Hehuan raised her eyes and saw the deep black eyes of Yu Zhongxiao opposite her staring at her mobile phone. She seemed to have thought of something, shook her mobile phone hurriedly, and said half-truthfully: "Give it to me."

The phone I bought broke when I dropped it in the toilet, so I bought a new one."

After he finished speaking, he added another sentence: "I went to have it repaired, but the master said it couldn't be repaired anymore."
