Chapter 482
"Happy birthday."
The next morning, Lin Yuehua said.
"OK, thanks."
Li Zhuangsheng nodded without thinking too much. He lowered his head to take a book from the table and suddenly saw a plastic bag.
"What is that?" Li Zhuangsheng opened it curiously. He didn't remember having this thing.
It turned out that there was a math exercise book inside.
"Did you buy it?" Li Zhuangsheng glanced at his deskmate speechlessly.
"Birthday present." Lin Yuehua nodded.
"Didn't I deliver it yesterday?"
"That was just a shell. This one today is the real gift."
Li Zhuangsheng was furious: "Who would give exercise books as a gift? Take them back!"
Lin Yuehua said in a tone that brooked no argument: "I picked this especially for you. You have to do it on time. I will check it every day."
"Today is my birthday. Do you have to do this?"
"Well, happy birthday to you."
"If you really want to make me happy, take the exercise book back!"
"Youthful hard work will benefit you for the rest of your life. Don't waste your time and effort." Lin Yuehua looked at Li Zhuangsheng's motto and said, "Whether you want to get into Peking University or Xiamen University, you must study hard."
"I am not applying to Peking University or Xiamen University. If I have the chance in the future, I will just go to the entrance of Peking University and roast goose legs!"
Lin Yuehua was too lazy to pay attention to Li Zhuangsheng anymore and lowered her eyes to read.
Li Zhuangsheng sighed heavily: "This is the end of a beautiful day."
He took the exercise book and flipped through it boredly. Suddenly he remembered that during the winter vacation, the other party also gave him an exercise book and promised to knit him a scarf.
I remember before the Chinese New Year, she said the scarf was almost finished.
I don't know how it's going now, is it finished or has it been put away halfway through?
Li Zhuangsheng's mind focused slightly, and at this moment, he found a bookmark in the exercise book.
The handmade bookmark looks very beautiful. It appears to be made of two layers of paper glued together. The first layer is white hollowed out, and the inside of the hollow is cut into the shape of a bunch of leaves, and underneath is a colorful ink painting.
"Did you do this?"
Li Zhuangsheng held the bookmark in his hand and looked at it carefully. There was a flower painted on the back of the bookmark and a poem: Bai Xue's clear words came out from my seat, I love your talent and ability.
It is obviously Lin Yuehua's handwriting, thin, powerful and sharp.
"Well, I just made some. I'll give them to you as a gift." Lin Yuehua turned her face away.
"Well, okay...thank you!" Li Zhuangsheng grinned and then thanked him solemnly.
This bookmark is very delicate and obviously not made casually. I wonder how much time she spent on it.
"This poem is well chosen." Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.
"Are you sorry?"
"what?"
"It's not 'The sounds of the windpipes leave the pavilion late, you go to Xiaoxiang and I go to Qin'."
"You..." Li Zhuangsheng was speechless for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "You really are. That poem is too sad. Do you want to wish me a happy birthday, or do you want to send me off early?"
Lin Yuehua smiled slightly, and after a while, she suddenly asked, "Did I make that bookmark, too?"
Li Zhuangsheng was slightly startled: "That's not it, it should be the one you bought."
The last time I made a bookmark was when Lin Yuehua gave it to me when we were leaving. She probably didn't have the heart to make bookmarks at that time.
"Really..." Lin Yuehua said softly.
"Oh, why do you care so much about a dream?" Li Zhuangsheng said pretending to be indifferent.
Lin Yuehua stopped talking, and Li Zhuangsheng put away the bookmark and put it in "Exquisite Poems". Li Zhuangsheng bought this book when he was in the first year of high school, and it was already there when he traveled back. The book has been on his bookshelf for ten years.
……
After school in the evening, Zhu Zhixue walked with Li Zhuangsheng with a smile on her face. Today, Li Xiuyu was going to travel with Hu Mengdie and Yi Yunshui, so he did not go with the two of them.
Li Zhuangsheng had already told Zhu Zhixue in advance that Hu Mengdie and Yi Yunshui would also come to his birthday party, but Zhu Zhixue didn't say anything on the surface.
Because Li Zhuangsheng told her that this was because when Li Xiuyu ran away from home, he stayed at Hu Mengdie and Yi Yunshui's house for a few days, so Li Minghua invited them to have a meal together to express his gratitude.
In fact, this was Li Xiuyu's statement, and Li Zhuangsheng felt that it was her own decision. Li Minghua would certainly invite the two women to dinner, but not at Li Zhuangsheng's birthday party. He and Chen Lanying knew that Hu Mengdie had pursued Li Zhuangsheng, so they would not let Hu Mengdie and Zhu Zhixue meet.
Unless the two of them really disliked Zhu Zhixue and deliberately called Hu Mengdie to flatter her. But it was obvious that they were not that kind of people.
When the two people were asking him indirectly, Li Zhuangsheng never denied that he had had a relationship with Zhu Zhixue. Both of his parents were relatively traditional, and as long as there were no principled conflicts in the future, Zhu Zhixue's status as "daughter-in-law" would basically not be shaken.
Li Zhuangsheng only gave Li Xiuyu a few mild criticisms for this behavior. Firstly, even if Hu Mengdie came, it would not change the fact that Zhu Zhixue was his lover. Li Minghua and Chen Lanying would only protect Zhu Zhixue and would not let her feel unhappy.
Secondly, Zhu Zhixue was simple-minded and didn't have so many twists and turns. She would only think that Li Minghua and the others were thanking Hu Mengdie and Yi Yunshui for what happened before. As long as Li Minghua and Chen Lanying didn't deliberately target her, she wouldn't have any other ideas.
"I'm going to meet my uncle and aunt again..." Zhu Zhixue looked down at her clothes, "What do you think of my outfit today?"
Knowing that Hu Mengdie would be there today, she specially took Zeng Chen and Yao Xingyu to buy a skirt at noon.
She picked and chose a black dress. Black is conservative and slimming, and the dress is simple and plain. Li Minghua and Chen Lanying should like it, and they won't be outshined by Hu Mengdie and Yi Yunshui.
"It's pretty." Li Zhuangsheng smiled, "like an ancient Greek goddess."
"Which goddess? Athena?"
"Uh…Aphrodite."
"Who is Aphrodite?"
"The ancient Greek god of love and beauty."
"Oh..." Zhu Zhixue smiled secretly with her lips pursed.
She is just like that. A casual word of praise from Li Zhuangsheng can make her happy for a long time.
"I have prepared a gift for you... Should I give it to you now or tomorrow?"
"I'll give it to you tomorrow." Li Zhuangsheng smiled, "Today is just a family dinner, tomorrow is my real birthday." "Okay, I won't give it to you today!" Zhu Zhixue smiled and stood on tiptoe, kissed Li Zhuangsheng on the mouth, "I'll save it for you first, this is the interest."
"Just a kiss, the interest is too little."
Zhu Zhixue pinched Li Zhuangsheng's nose and said with a smile: "I'll give it to you tomorrow!"
He rode the electric bike, and Zhu Zhixue sat on the back seat with a smile on her face, hugging his waist. Unlike Li Xiuyu, the two of them rarely had such opportunities.
It is indeed big and soft, and Li Xiuyu is totally incomparable, Li Zhuangsheng thought.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant quickly. Although the summer vacation classes ended earlier than usual, it was already past eight o'clock. Li Zhuangsheng took Zhu Zhixue's hand and walked into the private room.
Because they were delayed for a while on the way, they were the last to arrive. Li Minghua and Chen Lanying had already taken their seats, as well as Li Xiuyu, Hu Mengdie, Yi Yunshui, and...Lin Yuehua?
"Eh?"
Li Zhuangsheng was stunned when he saw Lin Yuehua. Zhu Zhixue's expression also changed slightly. She grabbed Li Zhuangsheng's hand and squeezed it slightly.
"Lin Yuehua, why are you here too?" Li Zhuangsheng had to speak at this time.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
He blinked and pretended nothing happened.
"Oh, I saw her on the road after school, so I called her over as well." Li Xiuyu smiled, "She's your good friend, it'll be more lively with more people!"
"She might have her own things to do, but you dragged her here..."
"She said she was fine!"
Li Zhuangsheng glanced at Zhu Zhixue, who smiled: "That's good, it's more fun with more people! She's your master, why didn't you invite her to your birthday party?"
"Uh, it's my fault..." said Li Zhuangsheng.
Li Xiuyu laughed: "Right, I said you are ungrateful. Master is so good to you, teaching you every day. If it wasn't for her, your grades would have improved so quickly? But you didn't even invite her to your birthday party!"
"Wrong, wrong!" Li Zhuangsheng laughed and hit Li Xiuyu hard on the head.
Li Xiuyu felt pain but stepped on Li Zhuangsheng without showing any expression.
"Come on, Xiaoxue, take my side!"
Chen Lanying kindly pulled Zhu Zhixue to sit next to her, and Li Zhuangsheng sat on the other side of Zhu Zhixue. Zhu Zhixue felt a little more comfortable.
She glanced at Li Xiuyu coldly, thinking, "Just wait until your brother and I have 10 or 8 children, and let you take care of them every day!" I won't do that to him in front of you... I swear I won't be a human being!
When the time comes, I will definitely watch carefully what expression will appear on your face!
"Haha, happy birthday, brother!"
Yi Yunshui spoke first. She looked like she had dressed up carefully. After all, in her mind, this was her first time to formally "meet (Li Xiuyu's) parents." Not only did she wear a very beautiful dress, she also put on some lipstick.
"Hello, little birthday boy."
Hu Mengdie greeted Li Zhuangsheng with a smile. She was dressed very simply today, a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. It was a very casual outfit, and she had no intention of competing with Zhu Zhixue or even Yi Yunshui.
But her face looked a little pale, and this feeling was even more obvious next to Yi Yunshui who was dressed up. She seemed a little listless, like a little white flower that could wither at any time.
Is he sick? Li Zhuangsheng thought subconsciously.
"What are you..."
Li Zhuangsheng asked instinctively, but when he thought of Zhu Zhixue being right beside him, he seemed unable to utter even this simple sentence of concern.
"Me what?" Hu Mengdie tilted her head and smiled.
"Have you been on a diet recently?" Li Zhuangsheng coughed lightly.
"Yeah, did you notice that?" Hu Mengdie said with a smile, "I gained some weight recently, so I've been trying to lose weight recently."
"You're already thin enough." Li Xiuyu expressed Li Zhuangsheng's thoughts, "Now you look like Lin Daiyu!"
"Well, I'm a dancer after all." Hu Mengdie smiled and handed Li Zhuangsheng a gift box. "Happy birthday, this is the gift I brought you."
Li Zhuangsheng glanced at Zhu Zhixue and said with a laugh, "Thank you, thank you. Can I open it and take a look now?"
"Of course!" Hu Mengdie raised her eyebrows.
"Wow, it's worthy of being a gift from the school belle. You're so impatient!" Li Xiuyu teased with a smile.
Zhu Zhixue pinched Li Zhuangsheng secretly, and Li Zhuangsheng felt really stuck. He thought if I didn't open it in front of you now, you might think it was a token of love!
Li Xiuyu, you are such a rude person, just wait and see how I will deal with you when I get home!
"It's quite heavy... What book is it?" Li Zhuangsheng opened the gift box with a smile, revealing a hardcover set of "The Book of Songs".
"Oh, it's actually the Book of Songs!" Li Zhuangsheng was a little surprised, looked up and smiled, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome. I don't know if you like it or not. But I think, since you're a great writer, you should like books." Hu Mengdie gently held her hair. "I wanted to buy you the Complete Works of Li Bai, but Xiu Yu said you already have a set."
"Thank you, thank you, you are so thoughtful..." Li Zhuangsheng coughed lightly and said with a little restraint, "It's good."
"Brother, this is my gift!"
Yi Yunshui also smiled and took out her gift. She glanced at Chen Lanying and Li Minghua. Although they were not on the same track, she naturally didn't want to fall behind them.
After all, she and Hu Mengdie are both good friends of Li Xiuyu on the surface, and she cannot leave a bad impression on them that "Hu Mengdie is sensible, but she is not sensible enough."
Besides, she still counted on Li Zhuangsheng to help with her and Li Xiuyu's affairs! Although the other party had been getting more and more perfunctory towards her these days, it seemed that he was not working hard.
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you!"
Li Zhuangsheng also took Yi Yunshui's gift with a smile, but this time he did not open it directly. This made Yi Yunshui somewhat resentful. She also wanted Li Zhuangsheng's parents to see her "sincerity"!
Among the three guests, only Lin Yuehua was calm and composed. But in fact, Li Zhuangsheng could see that she was not calm, but rather a little nervous, so much so that she could only pretend to be in a daze with a blank expression. Fortunately, no one cared.
"By the way, what gift did your master give you?" Zhu Zhixue asked in a low voice.
"Oh, she..." Li Zhuangsheng deliberately raised his voice when talking about this matter. "She gave me a math exercise book! And she also said, happy birthday to me! Tell me, who can be happy after seeing that thing?"
"Okay, okay!" Li Minghua clapped his hands and laughed, "I think this is a good gift! Lin Yuehua, you really know my son well! You know what he needs the most!"
"What are you talking about! I was in such a good mood, but right at the beginning I was given a book of exercises. I was instantly confused!"
Li Zhuangsheng had a sad face, which instantly made everyone laugh, and even Lin Yuehua smiled a little.
Zhu Zhixue smiled and patted Li Zhuangsheng lightly: "Master is concerned about your school, you should not be ungrateful."
"Okay, next time it's your birthday, I'll give you ten sets of exercises! You're not allowed to eat until you finish them!" Li Zhuangsheng frowned and said fiercely.
"You dare!" Zhu Zhixue grinned and pinched him lightly.
It can be seen that she was quite satisfied with Lin Yuehua's gift.
