The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 203 Birthday (Part )

Love is such a magical thing. It is always in a state of hardness and fragility.

When it is hard, it seems that even if the sea dries up, the rocks crumble, the mountains disappear, and the sky and the earth merge, it cannot be destroyed.

But when it is fragile, it is like a bunker built on the beach, which will fall apart when the wind blows.

Yu Fei believed that in Meng Yun's heart, his feelings for Lin Jia were definitely deeper than those for Xia Lu.

After all, one has been together for five years and the other has only been together for a few months.

But at the same time, because of the unstable state of love, he did not always enjoy the sweetness of love during the five years he was with Lin Jia.

The more you love, the more you hate.

After being entangled with each other for a long time, if you have not really entered the next stage of the relationship, cracks will inevitably appear.

Lin Jia actually realized this at the beginning, so she hoped to enter the next stage, marriage, with Meng Yun.

It is said that marriage is the grave of love, but from another perspective, people will eventually sleep in a grave. Love leaves first, so just think of it as warming their bed in advance.

At the same time, marriage is also a guarantee of love. Although this statement seems one-sided and thin in later generations, it cannot be said that marriage really has no such function.

Before marriage, both parties were just individuals who loved each other. After marriage, they objectively became a family. Even if love gradually faded, they could still be considered a family. At least, it provided a guarantee and explanation for their five-year long relationship.

Unfortunately, Meng Yun did not realize this. Although his actions were despicable, in his subjective consciousness, he was a man who advocated innocence and romance.

Who says bad guys don’t deserve a sweet love?
So even if he gets married, he still hopes to always have love with his partner.

In addition, the quarrel and breakup with Lin Jia was also due to the rising period of his career, but in Yu Fei's opinion, this factor actually accounted for a very small proportion in Meng Yun's mind.

Not small enough to defeat the feelings between him and Lin Jia.

Rather than saying that he was indulging in his five-year relationship with Lin Jia, it would be more accurate to say that he missed the past five years.

After all, Meng Yun felt that there were conflicts between him and Lin Jia in many aspects. The breakup of lovers does not necessarily require the involvement of a third party. Sometimes, as two people walk along, their pace becomes inconsistent and they slowly drift apart.

Doesn't Meng Yun love Lin Jia? Of course not, he still loves Lin Jia, but just like what he said in the pub that day, his love with Lin Jia is not easy.

That is to say, love, but not as much as before.

Some scumbags frequently change girls to date because they prefer that state of being in love.

It’s an addictive state.

After Lin Jia went on a business trip, Meng Yun and Lin Jia reunited online. He was surprised to find that when he was in love with Lin Jia online, he suddenly found the feeling he had when he first fell in love with Lin Jia.

This is more like the mentality of a couple who divorced many years ago because some small conflicts accumulated into big conflicts, and then met the ex-wife who was still in her prime.

It's like something lost and found, but not quite.

If Meng Yun had not met Xia Lu, and if Xia Lu had not given him that "addictive" feeling of love, Meng Yun would at most have made a "mistake that all men make" and still be waiting for Lin Jia to come back.

But Xia Lu just happened to give Meng Yun the feeling of "addiction", making him, who had just "quit", fall into it again.

Moreover, when he was with Xia Lu, he didn't seem to feel the "uncomfortable" feeling that Lin Jia brought him.

Xia Lu is like a piece of candied fruit to him, sweet, but Lin Jia, after all, has a bitter taste.

Online dating is ultimately different from the feeling of love in real life.

So people often say that new clothes are worse than old women, but people also say that women are like clothes...

……

Meng Yun’s birthday party started as scheduled.

In the past five years, when Meng Yun celebrated his birthday, he usually celebrated it with Lin Jia, Yu Fei and a few familiar friends first. Then after returning home, Lin Jia would personally cook him a bowl of egg noodles, and the two of them would celebrate it alone.

Later, after Dingdian and Yu Fei got together, the four of them would often sit together for dinner, and then Meng Yun would go home with Lin Jia.

When Meng Yun celebrated his birthday this time, he repeatedly told Yu Fei not to tell anyone.

After all, he has never told Ding Dian that he is together with Xia Lu. After all, Ding Dian is Lin Jia's best friend and is on Lin Jia's side.

In fact, during this period of time, Dingdian would sometimes remember to ask how Meng Yun and Lin Jia were doing, but Meng Yun always evaded the question.

Fortunately, Dingdian didn't ask too many questions. Her attention was always on Yu Fei. After all, the situation on her side was more complicated.

For this birthday, Meng Yun booked a KTV box. Xia Lu brought her best friend Xiao Wen, Yu Fei brought Xiao Ai... and Wang Zi, who came for an unknown reason.

Wang Zi kept saying that she was not afraid of danger and wanted to come with Yu Fei, but when the time came, she felt that she should not be too arrogant.

So Wang Zi didn't ask Yu Fei to pick her up, but the two of them met downstairs of the KTV and went upstairs together.

But when Xia Lu and Xiao Wen in the box saw Xiao Ai and Wang Zi beside Yu Fei, their expressions also looked a little strange.

Xia Lu suddenly had an idea. After greeting Yu Fei and Xiao Ai, she smiled and stretched out her hand to Wang Zi: "You are Dingdian, right? Hello!"

"..."

Meng Yun behind him inexplicably thought of the lyrics of a song: I am most afraid of the air suddenly becoming quiet.

To be honest, Wang Zi's arrival was somewhat beyond Meng Yun's expectations. He thought that the other party was just bragging in the tavern before.

In addition, he was a little uneasy about this birthday, so he didn't tell Xia Lu about Wang Zi.

And because of some unspeakable factors, he only mentioned Ding Dian in front of Xia Lu at most. Xia Lu had never met Ding Dian, she only knew that the other party was Yu Fei's ex and was still entangled with Yu Fei and Xiao Ai.

Seeing Yu Fei and the other two walking in together, Xia Lu subconsciously mistook Wang Zi for Dingdian.

Meng Yun never expected that his dear would give him such a job.

You know, Wang Zi’s thoughts are almost as clear as Sima Zhao’s!

Seeing Xia Lu greeting them, Yu Fei and the other two were stunned. When the dog man was about to explain, Wang Zi smiled and stretched out her hand and said, "Sister Xia Lu, hello to you too. Happy birthday to Lao Meng! I also wish you and Lao Meng a long and sweet life!"

After hugging Xia Lu, Wang Zi handed her a gift box with a smile.

After Xia Lu took the gift box, she smiled and said, "Thank you. I also wish you, uh... always beautiful and happy every day."

She subconsciously wanted to wish that Dingdian and Yu Fei would have a sweet and long-lasting love, but she hadn't completely lost her mind, after all, Xiao Ai was still here.

How can you wish a long-lasting love between a boyfriend and a third party in front of his girlfriend?

At this moment, Meng Yun, who finally couldn't bear it any longer, coughed and walked over, saying awkwardly: "Wang Zi, welcome, welcome. I'm sorry, I thought you came here just to talk..."

"Of course I'm not just talking, we are friends! As for the rest... I have nothing to be ashamed of."

Wang Zi said with a smile, and when she said the last part, she glanced at someone meaningfully.

"Wang Zi? Isn't she Dingdian?" At this time, Xia Lu asked in confusion.

Meng Yun's embarrassment had not yet subsided, and he reintroduced her, "Dear, I forgot to tell you before, this is Wang Zi, my friend, and also Yu Fei's... friend. The Dingdian you mentioned, she didn't come today."

"Ah?!" Xia Lu covered her mouth in surprise, and then immediately apologized to Wang Zi, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Wang Zi, I'm wrong..."

"It's okay! I just recognized the wrong person. If you want to blame someone, blame Lao Meng. It's his fault for not telling you in advance."

Wang Zi waved his hand to stop Xia Lu, then smiled and said, "I often mistake people, and it's much more serious than yours. I often mistake my boyfriend for someone else."

"..."

Yu Fei, who had been silent the whole time, felt that he shouldn't have come today.

Xiao Ai beside her had a smile on her face the whole time, and the hand that was hugging the dog man was already pinching him hard. She tilted her head slightly towards the dog man, and a few words popped out of her smiling lips.

"That's twice!"

Damn it, if I can let a vixen like you eat my ginseng fruit, I might as well go and become sworn brothers with Ding Dian!
Yu Fei endured the pain in his waist. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had rhinitis like the male protagonists in novels and needed to touch his nose from time to time to relieve the embarrassment.

When I met Wang Zi downstairs just now, he seemed quite normal. He greeted Xiao Ai with a smile and chatted about skin care secrets. How come he became a completely different person as soon as he entered the box?

At this time, Meng Yun took the blame on himself and asked everyone to sit down with a smile. They also greeted Xia Lu's best friend Xiaowen.

After Yu Fei sat down with Meng Yun, Meng Yun tilted his head and whispered through his teeth: "Why do I feel like your troubles are bigger than mine?"

"Hehe, you'll get used to it. I'm used to it anyway."

Yu Fei responded in the same way.

If we were to say who was the most relaxed in the entire box, it would probably be Xia Lu’s best friend Xiaowen. She thought she was just celebrating her best friend’s boyfriend’s birthday, but she didn’t expect to get to know such explosive news!

At first I thought Yu Fei was just a comedian, but I didn’t expect him to be so... interesting!
Xiao Ai responded immediately. She sat directly on the other side of Yu Fei, making it impossible for the vixen Wang Zi to get close to the bastard.

Wang Zi sneered in his heart, didn't say much, and sat down next to the other person.

She felt that the provocation just now was much lighter than the one Xiao Ai and Dingdian had put in her tavern before.

At this time, Xiao Wen, who was sitting on the other side of Xia Lu, wanted to eat melon, but the seat she was sitting on was a little far from that side. After a little thought, she picked up a glass of wine and a microphone and said:
"Come on, let's have a drink and start singing. Let me show you a sample!"

As she spoke, she took the initiative to stand in front and get the widest view.

"it is good!"

Meng Yun and Yu Fei clapped enthusiastically, and then the girls followed suit. They each poured themselves a glass of wine and clinked glasses together to drink.

"Ahem." The social gangster Xiao Wen cleared his throat into the microphone and started singing.

"If the heart is there, the dream is there, and there is true love between heaven and earth!"

"..."

Yu Fei and Xiao Ai looked at each other. This voice was so hoarse!

Xia Lu looked around. The huge private room seemed very empty with only six of them.

She had thought that Meng Yun would make a lot of friends today.

Then he said to Meng Yun, "In such a big box, there are only six of us?"

"VIP, the boss gives it to us every year."

Xia Lu nodded, and when she was about to say something, her cell phone rang.

After looking at a few people, she went out to answer the phone. As soon as she left, Wang Zi whispered to Xiao Ai, "Did Lao Meng really not get back together with Lin Jia?"

After they met downstairs just now, Yu Fei told Wang Zi that Meng Yun’s current girlfriend was Xia Lu, not Lin Jia, and he should not mention the name Lin Jia later.

Wang Zi had met Lin Jia in Dingdian Coffee Shop before. Also present at the time was Meng Yun’s ex-girlfriend Xiao Meng, whom he had just broken up with.

She almost witnessed the century-long ending of Meng Yun and Lin Jia's tragic drama, which was their reunion.

At that time, she lamented how love could be so entangled.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yun has found a new girlfriend now. Although she thinks it has nothing to do with her who Meng Yun is with, after seeing that scene and the video on the Internet of Meng Yun shouting "Lin Jia, I love you", she still supports the "Yun Jia love".

So while Xia Lu was out answering the phone, she couldn't help but secretly ask Xiao Ai.

As for the fact that she had deliberately provoked the other party just now, let’s put it one thing at a time. The two of them have developed a friendship over the past six months, and she even treated the other party to dinner some time ago!

Xiao Ai was also thinking of finding a chance to deal with the other party later. When she heard the other party asking this, she whispered, "I don't know either. It seems so. Otherwise, Meng Yun wouldn't be with Xia Lu."

"Oh, eh? Why isn't Sister Dingdian here?"

Wang Zi suddenly mentioned this. She had been prepared for a one-on-two fight, but she found that there was one person missing.

Xiao Ai shook her head and said with a smile: "Who knows? Maybe they knew about it, so they didn't come!"

"..."

Wang Zi took a deep breath and finally found another opportunity for the other party.

At this time, Yu Fei also whispered to Meng Yun: "Old Meng, what did Lin Jia say?"

Meng Yun shook his head: "I didn't mention my birthday, and she didn't say anything about coming back, but it's still important to be safe. We should go back to our respective homes after twelve o'clock."

"Did she really forget, or did she want to surprise you?"

"I don't know. I hope she has forgotten."

"..."

Yu Fei was happy to hear that. In this world, accidents always happen before tomorrow.

Several people were waving their hands along with Xiaowen as he sang, and were whispering to each other.

This made Xiaowen, who was singing in the front, feel itchy. She wanted to eat some melons. She saw the two girls rolling their eyes at each other while smiling, but unfortunately she couldn't hear anything!
"For the sake of my beloved ones, I must be strong no matter how hard it is."

Xiaowen, who couldn't eat the melon, sang "Start Over Again" more and more vigorously, and deeply implemented the way of singing Karaoke.

At this time, Xia Lu, who had just finished her call, came back and sat next to Meng Yun, frowning and saying, "Wanhao called and said there was an urgent matter to deal with, and asked me to go there later."

Meng Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "How about we go home?"

"No!" Xia Lu refused, then looked at Yu Fei and the others over there, "Just drink here with Yu Fei and the others, or why don't you call some friends over?"

At this point, she hooked Meng Yun's head over and whispered in Meng Yun's ear: "Yu Fei's girlfriend and... friends are here. If your birthday ends in a mess because of me, it will be so embarrassing for us!"

After a pause, Xia Lu let go of Meng Yun, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, I will try to come back as early as possible and strive to be with you at midnight!"

Then Xia Lu smiled and said to Xiao Ai and Wang Zi: "Sorry, something happened at the company. I'll be back soon. You can make some more friends and have some fun together!"

"It's okay, it's okay, go and do your work first!"

Xiao Ai and Wang Zi both smiled and waved.

Xia Lu nodded and took Xiaowen, who was still singing, away.

Without Xiaowen's singing, the box suddenly fell into silence.

Yu Fei smiled and said, "What do you mean? Should we leave or continue singing?"

Xiao Ai, who didn't know what Meng Yun was hiding, asked, "Are you leaving? Didn't Sister Xia Lu say she would be back later?"

"Yeah, Lao Meng, it's your birthday after all, you have to eat the cake." Wang Zi also agreed.

She thought more simply, since she was here today.

Yu Fei didn't urge him. He wanted to see what choice his good brother would make.

If the original plot happens tonight, then for the good brothers, leaving would be the best option. If they don't leave, it would be quite fun.

As for Yu Fei, no matter what choice Meng Yun makes, he can be happy.

So he smiled and helped Meng Yun explain: "Old Meng has something to do. Anyway, this box is open all night, so we can sing by ourselves later."

If Meng Yun left, he would call Dingdian and Ke'er over as well, and they would do some team building together...

Thinking of this, he even hoped that Lao Meng would leave, so that Lao Meng would be safe and he would get another kind of happiness.

At this time, Meng Yun leaned his head against the back of the sofa, stared at the ceiling and thought for a few seconds before saying:
"Keep playing, keep dancing!"

It's time to let everyone know that Xia Lu is his girlfriend.

……

the other side.

Xiao Wen was a little dissatisfied when Xia Lu hurriedly pulled him away. He was enjoying singing and even thinking about eating watermelon!
"I have an ominous feeling."

Xia Lu frowned and said to her best friend.

Xiao Wen looked strange and said, "Isn't it just that something happened at the company? What's the ominous part? I think the relationship between Yu Fei and those two girls will be very interesting."

At this point, Xiao Wen had a gossipy smile on his face: "I thought Yu Fei was a good drinker and quite funny, which suited my taste. I didn't expect him to be so playful?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that he has a girlfriend?" Xia Lu said unhappily, and then she became a little confused, "How do you know that he has so many affairs?"

She didn't tell Xiaowen about Yu Fei's relationship with that mysterious ex-girlfriend, and she only knew about Wang Zi when Meng Yun secretly typed on her phone to tell her that she was also interested in Yu Fei.

Xia Lu couldn't help but sigh, are scumbags so popular these days?

And her best friend Xiao Wen smiled smugly: "Who am I? I knew something was wrong the moment the three of them walked in. That rolling of the eyes, that smile, every little action exuded an atmosphere worthy of gossip."

"As for the fact that he has a girlfriend..." Xiao Wen paused for a moment, then said earnestly, "My dear, these days, not only are beautiful women a scarce resource, but good-quality men are also a scarce resource, not to mention a man who is compatible with you. Of course, you should take the initiative to fight for him! It's just a girlfriend, not a marriage."

"..."

Xia Lu was really shocked by her best friend's words. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "What about now? Do you still want to fight for it?"

"..."

Now it was Xiaowen's turn to be silent. She sighed and said, "I didn't quite believe you when you said his girlfriend was pretty before, but when I saw her today, apart from her face, her temperament, and her skin, didn't you notice that she was glowing white in the box just now? What can I argue with?"

Xia Lu smiled and said, "Oh, this is the first time I see you so unconfident. Aren't you proud of your breasts?"

"I am indeed proud of my breasts." Xiao Wen straightened her breasts, which she had always been proud of, but then she said in a disappointed tone: "But the world doesn't only look at breasts."

If Yu Fei heard her words, he would just laugh and say, "What you are proud of will only lose more miserably in front of Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai is usually just sealed by her clothes. Judging from her breasts alone, among the women who have been with him in these worlds, Xiao Ai can compete for the top two!"

Xiao Wen, who was ignorant of the immensity of the world, thought for a moment and added, "If my combat power is only 3,000, then they have at least 10,000. And Wang Zi, her bags are enough to pay me for several months. I'd better not get involved in their fight."

"Hehe, you're talking so loudly, then why do they all like Yu Fei? And let me tell you, Yu Fei actually has an ex-girlfriend who seems to be involved in something unclear between him and Xiao Ai. She's the one who called me Wang Zi by mistake just now."

"Ah? Yu Fei is such a scumbag! I'm even more moved!"

"Are you okay? You know he's a scumbag but you still want to stick with him!"

"Have you forgotten what I told you about Park Eun-ho before? As a man, do you want someone who is not liked by anyone?"

"Your logic is..."

"What's wrong with that? When you go to the market to buy vegetables, will the good ones be picked out and left over? Will you stop playing football if there's a goalkeeper in front of the goal? Don't think this is a bad idea. Believe it or not, if I post a few pretty photos online, maybe few people will pay attention to me, but if I add that I'm married, I guarantee a bunch of Cao Mengde will send me private messages? This is the same for both men and women!"

"..."

Xia Lu was stunned by her best friend's outrageous remarks. After looking at her for a few times, she hesitated and said, "So you still want to snatch Yu Fei away..."

"Of course not!" Xiao Wen, who had always been wearing bright red lipstick, denied it, and then continued, "I still have self-knowledge. Counting the Ding, Dingdian you mentioned, there are already three of them. Who knows if there are any hidden ones? This is not a problem of only one goalkeeper. Maybe there is a team in front of me. How can I have the ability to score alone!"

"Your metaphor... is really vivid!"

"That's right, but I'm wondering what Yu Fei is capable of. Is he good at his job? Can he turn the wheel like Lao Ai?"

"What did you say?"

"Hey, just curious!"

"If you're curious, ask his girlfriend!"

"..."

The two gossipy women rushed back to the company laughing, but when they got to the company and learned about the work content, they immediately stopped laughing.

Just mentioned Cao Cao, and here he is!
"Xia Lu, President Park is here to discuss work today."

The bald manager of the Marriott Hotel said seriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Park Eun-ho, who had been serious just now, immediately smiled foolishly and made a scissors sign to Xia Lu.

"..."

Only then did Xia Lu realize why she had such a bad premonition just now.

"Haha, let's talk."

……

At this moment, another city.

It was a quiet night. In an apartment, Lin Jia was packing her luggage. At this moment, a Border Collie came over and rubbed her calves, wagging its tail.

Lin Jia squatted down, pinched Bian Mu's face, shook it and said with a smile: "Nini, tomorrow is Dad's birthday, let's go back and give him a surprise, okay?"
