I don't want to fall in love, I just want to get rewards

Chapter 52 Birthday Gift
Most boys don’t hold a special birthday party when their birthday comes. Basically, the most they do is buy a birthday cake or go to a food stall for a meal with their good friends.

Xu Ang was no exception. On his birthday, he took a few good brothers to a barbecue buffet restaurant for dinner. After eating and drinking, he rode his electric scooter towards Qinglin Community.

When Xu Ang thought of the message Lu Yan sent him in the morning, a warm current seemed to flow through his heart.

He arrived at Building 12 of Qinglin Community with familiarity, parked his electric bike at the entrance of the corridor, then Xu Ang took two steps instead of three and ran towards Building 202.

Before knocking on the door, he took a deep breath and then raised his hand to knock.

"Dong dong dong."

After a burst of hurried footsteps, the door was opened and a fair and charming face appeared in front of Xu Ang.

Unlike the cool and charming look she had in the past when she wore a windbreaker, Lu Yan's outfit today was very simple, a set of pajamas with a polar bear pattern on it. She looked less glamorous and more homely than before.

"Yanyan..."

Before opening the door, Xu Ang thought about a lot of opening remarks he would make when they met today, but when he actually saw the other person, he couldn't say anything.

"Come in first." Lu Yan rubbed his eyes and turned to walk into the house.

Xu Ang woke up as if from a dream. He entered the house, closed the door, and took off his shoes in one go. Then he followed Lu Yan to the refrigerator.

"I bought you a cake." Lu Yan took out a six-inch cream cake from the refrigerator. On the top of the cake was written "I wish Xu Ang all the best."

"Light the candles first, I'll go get your birthday present."

After saying that, Lu Yan turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Although he already knew what his birthday present was, Xu Ang was still full of anticipation.

He took a deep breath, inserted the candle into the cake, and kept his eyes on the bedroom door, waiting for Lu Yan to come out.

only……

Lu Yan came out, but she was holding a brown coat in her hand.

From Xu Ang's angle, he can see the faint luster of the coat fabric, revealing a calm and delicate texture.

Obviously this coat is not a cheap item, the price starts at at least four figures.

A birthday gift of this price between lovers is already quite good, but Xu Ang's previous "misunderstanding" has raised the threshold in his heart to a higher level...

"Don't you like it?"

Seeing that Xu Ang's expression was a little strange, Lu Yan tilted her head and asked softly.

"I like it very much." Xu Ang quickly took the coat and explained, "I just didn't expect you bought a coat."

Maybe Yanyan felt that the watch was too cheap, so she changed it into a coat for me. This coat is also very nice-looking... Xu Ang thought so in his heart.

"The temperature has dropped rapidly in the past few days. It's suitable to wear a coat now." Lu Yan looked at the lit candle on the cake and said, "Make a wish and blow out the candle."

"Oh, okay." Xu Ang nodded repeatedly, then stood in front of the cake, clasped his hands together, and said silently in his heart:

'I hope I can grow old with Yanyan, I hope I can be successful in my career, and I hope my future will be smooth sailing.'

After reciting it silently three times, he blew out the candle in one breath.

"Happy birthday." Lu Yan smiled and wished, "Happy birthday, have some cake."

Xu Ang nodded, picked up the knife beside him, divided the cake into four pieces, and then handed the first piece of cake to Lu Yan. …

Before coming, Xu Ang had already had dinner and felt completely full after eating a piece of cake.

Lu Yan was not very interested in the cream cake. She just accompanied Xu Ang to eat a piece. After eating the cake, she started to work on her homework.

The two didn't say anything else. In fact, most of the time when they were together, the atmosphere was like this, each busy with their own things.

Seeing Lu Yan busy doing homework, Xu Ang turned off the volume on his phone and started playing games.

Time passed by like this minute by minute.

After Xu Ang finished all the daily tasks of all the games on his mobile phone and played three games of King of Glory, Lu Yan finally finished his homework.

"Huh, finally done."

Lu Yan stretched lazily, regretting in her heart why she chose this elective course in the first place. Now she had to write a marketing report only halfway through the class.

Xu Ang, who was standing by, was watching his own crystal being flattened by the opponent.

"Yanyan, have you finished your homework?" Xu Ang put his phone aside and said gently, "Then let's each have a piece and finish the rest of the cake."

"You eat it. I don't like this kind of sweet and greasy food." Lu Yan shook her head, pressed her fingers, and clicked on a computer game.

"I can't finish two pieces." Xu Ang flicked his fingers, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, "Yanyan, how about I send one piece to my junior? You are renting someone's house now, so it's necessary to build a good relationship with them."

Xu Ang knew his girlfriend's personality. To put it nicely, she was very independent, but to put it bluntly, she had poor social skills. As a boyfriend, he felt that he needed to help Lu Yan maintain neighborhood relationships.

Of course, more importantly, it is better for him to have a good relationship with Chen Che than for Chen Che to have a good relationship with Lu Yan.

As for the deepest thoughts in Xu Ang's heart, that is, if he and Chen Che really had a good relationship, then the other party's behavior would be more or less subject to some moral constraints. Then even if Chen Che really had some thoughts, it would be difficult for him to express them openly, let alone take action.

"Junior?" Lu Yan didn't react at first, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, she realized who Xu Ang was talking about. She then looked back at the computer screen and said, "I'll do whatever you say."

"Okay, I'll send one up."

……

After cutting the cake, Xu Ang walked upstairs. When he reached the door of 402, he knocked twice.

After waiting for a while, just when Xu Ang mistakenly thought that Chen Che was not at home, the door was suddenly opened.

"Senior?" Chen Che was a little surprised and asked, "Sorry, Senior, I was listening to music just now and didn't hear the knock on the door."

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Ang smiled warmly, "It's my birthday today. I just cut the cake at Yanyan's place and thought of sending a piece up. You usually take care of our Yanyan so much, it's really troublesome for you."

“No, no.” Chen Che waved his hand and then reached out to take the cake. “Thank you, senior.”

"No..." Xu Ang was about to speak, but his eyes fell on Chen Che's left wrist.

On his wrist, he was wearing a Longines watch.

Almost at the same moment, Xu Ang's heart was in a mess. A lot of inappropriate thoughts rushed into his mind, and even his breathing became heavier.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Ang forced a smile, then turned away dejectedly.
