The Sweetest Thing In the World - Chapter 85
The next morning they had to go to work, so the two of them didn’t stay long, and prepared to go back after drinking some tea.
After Xu Mai drank at noon, he hugged Pangpang, sat in the passenger seat, and handed it over to Min Yue to drive.
Before departure, Min Yue sent Shen Fei a WeChat message: [Fei Fei, happy birthday! Master and I just came back from our parents, where are you? Did you have fun? 】
In the past years, when Shen Fei celebrated her birthday, she would always make a big fuss and do a lot of tricks. If it was simple, she would rent a cruise ship and float on the river while watching the night scene while cutting cakes.
After work, she didn’t have enough time, so Shen Fei changed to a low-key and friendly route, invited a group of friends, went to the hotel to book a suite and have a party, and have a lively time.
Today is her 30th birthday, most women would feel sad that their youth is gone and resist celebrating their birthday, but based on Min Yue’s understanding of her, Shen Fei would not have such thoughts at all, on the contrary, she would feel that she was more mature and more mature. charm.
So Min Yue was quite curious about how grand the celebration ceremony is tonight, and… how Chen Sitian will help her celebrate her birthday.
However, Shen Fei didn’t reply until the car drove home downstairs. Min Yue didn’t think much about it, thinking that the scene was too lively and she didn’t have time to look at her phone, so she put the matter aside for the time being.
Holding the cat with one hand and carrying the cat bag with the other, Xu Mai got off the car and sent them upstairs. Min Yue opened the door, but before she could turn on the light, she was suddenly hugged from behind.
Xu Mai hugged her tenderly, lowered his head slightly, kissed the soft skin on the side of her ear, and whispered: “When you get off the night shift, move in and live with me.”
Xu Mai’s kiss was very hot, and it fell next to his ear, causing Min Yue to shrink her neck shyly. She slowly turned her head, found Xu Mai’s lips in the dark, and kissed them vigorously. “OK.”
The phone kept ringing, and the beautiful girl wished her happy birthday one after another, asking if there were any activities tonight, Shen Fei responded with a few words, hung up the phone, looked up, and saw the gloomy expression of the man across the dinner table.
Father Shen frowned: “Stop contacting those people, you friends.”
Shen Fei took a bite of the food and ignored it.
Father Shen raised his voice: “Do you think I don’t know that you’ve been fooling around outside all these years? After today you will be thirty, and you should look like an adult.”
Shen Fei pushed back lightly: “What does it look like to be an adult? To play the role of a husband and wife in front of others, but to play their own way behind?”
Father Shen slammed the table: “How do you talk!”
Shen Fei raised the red wine glass and silently took a sip, and didn’t speak at all.
“I have spoiled you since I was a child, and there are no rules.” I am used to issuing orders to my subordinates all the year round. Father Shen got angry and said in an official tone: “Your son of Uncle Zhao’s family has returned to the country. Tomorrow night, he will be empty.” Time to have dinner together.”
“No.” Shen Fei snapped back, “Dad, you don’t have to arrange blind dates for me again and again. I told you more than ten years ago that I like women.”
“Nonsense!”
“You’re a nonsense!” Shen’s mother joined the quarrel, pointing at Shen’s father’s nose and scolding: “Who is that Secretary Zhao’s son? The illegitimate son is several years old. Do you want my daughter to marry and become a stepmother? Do you want it?” Face, in order to climb up, sell your daughter-in-law to someone else’s house!”
“You have shame! You have shame and are still with a twenty-year-old boy, you can be a mother to others!” Father Shen shot back.
“What qualifications do you have to criticize me? Haven’t you played with few female students yourself?” Mother Shen pulled the stool away and stood up abruptly.
The two attacked each other across the huge round table, regardless of Shen Fei’s presence, and turned those unbearable privacy that could not be exposed upside down.
Shen Fei frowned more and more, her head was buzzing, she couldn’t bear it, and finally broke out: “Enough! You all go, go find your lovers, don’t quarrel at my birthday party!”
Mother Shen froze for a moment, cleaned up her domineering aura, smiled, and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up vegetables for her. “Mom supports you, no matter man or woman, as long as you like it, true love is hard to find.”
Father Shen snorted coldly: “What else do you women have in mind besides love?”
Shen’s mother immediately went into a rage, and the atmosphere that had just calmed down ignited the flames of war again.
Shen Fei was so annoyed that she got up and left without even looking at them. Walking out of the restaurant in one breath, being blown by the cold wind of the cold night, he couldn’t help shivering, only to realize that his coat had been left in the box.
Unwilling to go back and listen to their quarrel, Shen Fei crossed her arms, got into the back seat of the taxi, reported her address, and stopped talking.
Silently staring out the window, the feasting and bustling scene was no different from usual, but Shen Fei suddenly felt bored.
No matter how big the world is, no matter how exciting the nightlife is, when she returns home and closes the door, she is still alone.
She used to think that she would get the wind and the rain, but one day, when the loving couple tore apart the illusion of harmony, she realized that the happiness and happiness of so many years were just a dream.
Only she took it seriously, and only she was hurt.
She was suddenly not sure whether the words about forever in the book or the old age together sung in the song were real or a fabricated utopia.
She also hoped that the two would divorce and find another true love, but they would not divorce even if they wanted to strangle each other to death, because they were a community of interests. Under the shadow of my father, my mother’s pharmaceutical company grew stronger year by year. But his father had capital support, and his official career was more stable.
What is love? Can’t compare to power and power, can’t compare to a young body and a flower-like face.
Mother said that true love is hard to find, but Shen Fei doesn’t even know what true love looks like.
The phone rang again, alerting him of a new message. Opened WeChat and saw the message from Min Yue.
She took Xu Mai home to meet her parents.
Shen Fei looked at it deeply for a while, until the screen went dark and automatically locked, but she didn’t reply.
Turning sideways, looking out of the window aimlessly, eyes out of focus, but a thought clearly emerges from the bottom of my heart, this is the purest form of love.
The taxi parked outside the villa area, Shen Fei paid and got out of the car, stepped on stiletto heels, and walked in slowly.
When I was about to walk to the door, I saw a car in the distance, with lights on, and a cluster of warm light, quietly illuminating the way home in the dark cold night.
Walking a few steps quickly, and stopped outside the car door, Shen Fei raised her index finger and knocked on the car window.
The people in the car looked up and saw her, and burst out laughing.
When the glass fell, Chen Sitian said with a smile, “I’m back.”
Looking down, she fell on her thin spring clothes. Chen Sitian pushed the door and got out of the car, took off the coat and put it on her shoulders. “Why do you wear so little?”
The soft cashmere carried body temperature, warming her frozen body, Shen Fei couldn’t help but tighten her skirt to wrap herself more tightly.
“Although it’s spring, it’s still quite cold in the morning and evening, and the flu is about to start again, so be careful.”
Chen Sitian was rambling on, but Shen Fei was unexpectedly not bothered. She smiled for the first time tonight and asked, “Did you come to my door to send warmth?”
“I’m here to celebrate your birthday.” Chen Sitian said as he opened the trunk, and the fragrant fragrance of flowers filled the air instantly.
Chen Sitian motioned her to take a look with his eyes, and Shen Fei walked around to the rear of the car, and saw that the trunk was covered with champagne roses, and there was a big cardboard box in the middle, the packaging should be a cake.
Chen Sitian stood beside her and handed her a gift: “Happy birthday, my queen.”
Shen Fei took it over and asked, “You’ve been waiting since you got off work? What if I don’t come back tonight?”
“Then where are you, I’ll go find you.” Chen Sitian smiled easily.
Her eyes are dazzling in the dark night, and the tenderness in the eyes is flowing and shining.
If you don’t come, then I will come to you. No matter where you are, I can find you and warm you.
Shen Fei’s heart tightened, she looked away, not daring to look at her again.
She remembered that the day after Valentine’s Day, she went to pick up the car in the parking lot outside the bar. The bar owner recognized her, whistled, and said that the girls last night were strong enough to protect you with all their strength, and they were sincere to you. .
If Chen Sitian wanted to play, she could accompany him crazy, but when she showed her sincerity, Shen Fei didn’t dare to pick it up, she was afraid that she might lose her grip and break it.
The rose cake in front of her eyes and the gift in her hand suddenly became heavy, Shen Fei stuffed the gift back into Chen Sitian’s arms, closed the back of the car vigorously, and said deliberately: “I don’t need these.”
Chen Sitian was stunned for a moment, quickly adjusted his mood, and asked: “What do you want? I can find it for you.”
Shen Fei just wanted to drive her away, so she casually said, “I want to eat wonton noodles.”
Chen Sitian was taken aback: “Now?”
“Yes, now.” Shen Fei looked at her steadfastly, hoping that she would say that she was unreasonable and that she would just give up.
After thinking hard for a few seconds, his expression suddenly brightened. Through his coat, Chen Sitian held her shoulder: “You go home first, take a hot bath to warm up, and I will be back soon.”
After speaking, get in the car, turn around and drive out quickly.
Shen Fei stood where she was, watching the taillights of the car gradually drifting away, and finally disappeared into the dark night, before turning around and walking home.
After washing up and putting on her nightgown, Shen Fei poured herself a glass of red wine and sat in the living room lost in thought.
Chen Sitian’s coat was draped over the armrest of the sofa, uncontrollably, his eyes would always drift over. Shen Fei took a sip of her wine, forced herself not to look, turned her head, and looked at the wall clock.
The pendulum swayed from side to side, the hands rotated evenly, and then a bell rang in the bottom of my heart. It was past zero, and her thirtieth birthday was over.
Shen Fei lowered her eyelids, unwilling to admit the loss in her heart, drank all her wine in one gulp, and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.
Magic is all about deceiving little girls, and she is a thirty-year-old adult who has long known that there are no miracles in life.
Lifting his feet and stepping up the first step, the doorbell behind him suddenly rang. It was so clear in the quiet night, like a thunderbolt, which knocked Shen Fei in place.
The doorbell rang quickly and hurriedly urged, Shen Fei twisted the door lock with trembling fingertips, raised her eyes, and met Chen Sitian’s eyes outside the door.
Chen Sitian burst into a bright smile, holding up the takeaway bag as if asking for credit: “I bought wonton noodles!”
“The fast food restaurants don’t taste good, and the food is hidden in inconspicuous alleys. I’ve eaten at a good one before, but it’s a little far away, but luckily it’s still open.”
Chen Sitian walked in on his own, saw the open kitchen at a glance, put the takeaway bag on the dining table, and took out three plastic bowls, which contained separately packaged noodles, wontons and soup.
“The noodles will become lumpy after soaking for a long time. Pack them separately, take them home and reheat them together, so as to maintain the original taste.” Opening the lid, Chen Sitian said to the person standing at the door: “Find me a bigger bowl Well, the kind used in the microwave.”
Shen Fei recovered, closed the door, and went to the kitchen to help.
Three minutes later, a bowl of hot noodles was placed on the table, Chen Sitian stuffed the chopsticks into Shen Fei’s hands, and urged, “Eat quickly.”
Shen Fei stared at her right and wrong, her eyes shaking violently. “Do you know that I deliberately tormented you?”
Chen Sitian touched his nose, looked at her, and nodded honestly.
“Then you still go to buy it?”
“Because you are in a bad mood.” Chen Sitian replied seriously, “If you can be happier by tossing me, then I am willing to run errands for you.”
Shen Fei put down her chopsticks: “Don’t waste time on me, I can’t give you what you want.”
“But I can give you what you want.”
Shen Fei looked straight at her.
“I know, you want a stable relationship.” Chen Sitian bent down and gently held her trembling hands, speaking softly, as if coaxing a frightened child.
“I am different from those people before you.” Chen Sitian looked down into her eyes, “I can give you a home.”
