Yishi Yijia - Chapter 77
A few seconds before these words were spoken, Lu Yining was still immersed in the joy of seeing Tang Mubai suddenly, unable to extricate himself.
After all, she is now alone in a foreign country, and today is her birthday again. Although a group of people are celebrating her birthday at home thousands of miles away, it is still different from being by her side.
The colleague who travels with her is not particularly good, let alone anyone who remembers her birthday, it is estimated that no one even knows her birthday.
After tonight’s dinner, her birthday this year seemed especially deserted.
Lu Yining’s heart beat faster and faster, and there was a piece of water vapor rising rapidly in her eyes – the premise was that she hadn’t realized what Tang Mubai meant.
Lu Yining’s brain response was not slow. After the excitement passed, Tang Mubai’s words rang a few times in his ears.
“Make you an adult.”
Lu Yining just turned 25 years old today. No matter what dynasty or country she is based on, she is already an “adult”.
She knew that Tang Mubai wouldn’t say anything good in his mouth, the corner of his mouth twitched, the wetness in his eyes was forced back, and he gritted his teeth and said, “No.”
Tang Mubai’s mouth curved, “Okay.”
As if he was just saying a joke, he let go of her and changed the subject: “Have you had dinner tonight?”
Lu Yining looked up at him, “I’ve eaten.”
Although I didn’t eat much, my stomach was at least not empty.
Lu Yining looked at the dining car with cakes and roses again. She didn’t waste her time asking if he ordered it, but asked directly, “Why did you come to the United States?”
After a few seconds, she asked tentatively, “Are you also here on a business trip?”
“No,” Tang Mubai’s denial was very straightforward. He never seemed to know what the word “obscure” meant. He leaned down slightly and stared into her eyes and replied, “I’ll see you.”
Lu Yining suddenly felt a little thirsty, and while pursing the corners of his mouth, his throat also pressed down gently.
Tang Mubai was still standing at the door, the lights in the corridor hit him, dragging his shadow so long that it completely covered Lu Yining, he raised his eyelashes and glanced around the room, “I don’t plan to let me in. Sit down?”
Lu Yining felt that the chef at night had put too much salt, so she had been feeling dry mouth all the time.
She is not a three-year-old child. She lives alone in the same room. She knows better than anyone what might happen after this night.
Lu Yining took a few deep breaths, her fingers clenched and loosened, she stood at the door for more than half a minute, and finally stepped back half a step as if she compromised.
The man outside the door smiled slightly, and his eyes deepened: “You let me in.”
It was good that he didn’t say this sentence at first, but as soon as this sentence came out, he was like a strange uncle, specializing in abducting ignorant girls.
Lu Yining’s heart skipped a beat, “Then go out.”
How could Tang Mubai listen to him, he closed the door with his backhand, and then he locked it directly. Then he turned his head to look at him, and the curvature of the corner of his mouth widened a little: “It’s too late.”
It’s over, it’s more like now.
Obviously nothing happened yet, but Lu Yining’s heart started beating wildly as if he had been frightened.
Tang Mubai was different. He looked calm as if the person who said these words was not him. He took her hand with one hand and pulled her to the edge of the sofa to sit down. Then he gently pressed her shoulder, and the other Pushing the dining cart this way.
He turned on his side, stuck a candle in his right hand on the cake, and pressed the lighter again.
The blue flame flickered, and the candle was quickly lit. Tang Mubai tilted his head and looked over, “Would you like to make a wish?”
Lu Yining never closed her eyes to make a wish on the birthday cake since she was a child, but today she didn’t know what was going on, and she really closed her eyes under Tang Mubai’s gaze.
There was still a faint flicker of fire in front of him, and Lu Yining’s head suddenly became blank after countless wishes poured out.
She had so many wishes that she didn’t know which one to start with for a while.
I wish that my family would be healthy, and I wish that Lu Yizhou would not be like her and have a good childhood… I wish that she and Tang Mubai could stay like this until the end.
Lu Yining never felt that she was a greedy person, but at this moment, until the flickering candlelight in front of her was getting dimmer, she didn’t make a complete wish.
For a few minutes, Tang Mubai stood in front of her, watching her frown and loosen, and then lightly frown again.
He squatted down and said in a low voice, “Yi Ning.”
Lu Yining’s voice was equally soft, “Well.”
“Are you okay?”
Lu Yining closed his eyes for a few seconds, then opened them and blew out the candle gently.
“What wish did you make?”
“I won’t tell you,” Lu Yining took out the burned candle with only one tail left. “It’s impossible to tell.”
Her ears were a little red, and she didn’t look at Tang Mubai. She lowered her head and cut the cake, putting a small piece on it for both herself and Tang Mubai, “Have you had dinner yet?”
“Eat on the plane.”
Lu Yining handed the cake over, and finally looked up at him: “Did you come here on leave?”
“Well,” Tang Mubai took the disposable plate, then put it aside without moving, “annual leave.”
Lu Yining nodded and stuffed a cake into his mouth.
In fact, she hadn’t eaten a cream cake for a long time, so once in a while she still thought it tasted good, and she unknowingly ate a piece of cake, and she realized that Tang Mubai’s piece was still untouched.
Lu Yining looked up at her, “Aren’t you going to eat?”
“Um.”
Tang Mubai just happened to be looking at her, his eyes were naturally beautiful and gentle, and when he stared at her, he seemed more focused and affectionate.
Lu Yining was still holding the empty paper plate in her hand. When he looked at it like this, her fingers stiffened, and the plate and fork fell from her hand instantly.
Because it is made of paper and plastic, when it falls to the ground, the sound it makes is not too loud, but even so, it is still a little prominent in the quiet room. Only then did Lu Yining react. When I picked up the things on the ground, I suddenly felt a black shadow pressing over.
In the next second, before Lu Yining could look up, he was suddenly pushed by his shoulders and pushed onto the back of the sofa chair. In the ear, “It’s good to eat you.”
The man’s voice was low and vaguely hoarse.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yining felt a warm kiss fall on her earlobe, her head became hot, and her breathing became rapid.
Tang Mubai’s kiss was neither light nor heavy, from her earlobe to the base of her ear, and then moved to her lips.
There was still the sweetness of cream cake in Lu Yining’s mouth. It was very light and fragrant. It spread into Tang Mubai’s mouth within a few seconds. , the voice was a little vague, but she could understand every word.
He said, “Happy birthday, baby.”
——
Lu Yining had no schedule for the next day, so she slept and woke up naturally.
As soon as I opened my eyes, although the curtains were not opened, I could clearly feel that the sun was rising outside.
Lu Yining felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that no part of his body belonged to him, and he felt uncomfortable when he moved.
She closed her eyes and tried to remember how everything happened last night, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn’t think of any details.
She obviously didn’t drink much, but when Tang Mubai’s kiss fell, she seemed to be overwhelmed and irrational. She didn’t know when the bed was put on, and the clothes were taken off.
Lu Yining doesn’t even know when it will end.
After lying on the bed for a while, Lu Yining turned over and sat up until he was fully awake.
The other side of the bed was already empty. Lu Yining went to the bathroom to wash up, and then changed his clothes. The phone screen just lit up: [Are you awake? 】What you love and I wish, the other party is someone he has liked for so long, Lu Yining doesn’t feel lost or angry, but the temperature on his face that has finally dropped has risen a few degrees.
Although Tang Mubai was not around at the moment, Lu Yining coughed to cover up his embarrassment: [Wake up. 】Tang Mubai: 【Did you sleep well? 】
Lu Yining sent a question mark over: [What do you think? ] Tang Mubai’s answer was simple and extremely shameless: [Okay. ] Lu Yining ignored him, put on makeup again in front of the mirror, and looked at the time again, it was early ten in the morning.
Her stomach was a little empty, and she planned to go downstairs to eat something casually.
Although the photography exhibition has ended, a few of them can play here for two more days and then go back.
After all, Lu Yining has lived in this city for a few years, so he has some understanding of it. After going downstairs, he soon found a Chinese restaurant that he used to eat frequently.
As soon as he entered, he had a face-to-face with the young male colleague from the magazine.
He sat alone by the window, and when he saw Lu Yining, he waved to her, “Sister Yining, come here!”
Lu Yining smiled and saw that there was no one else beside him, so he came over and sat across from him, “Come over for dinner?”
“Yes, I heard that the food here is very delicious.”
“It’s really delicious.”
The two of them didn’t talk too much. During the process of ordering a good meal and waiting for the meal, they almost always chatted while playing with their mobile phones.
When the dishes were finally served, Lu Yining’s phone screen lit up again: [Are you still in the hotel? 】Lu Yining raised his head and glanced at the male colleague opposite: 【Dining out. 】【Own? 】
Lu Yining thought for a while: [There is one more. 】
Tang Mubai: [Male or female? 】
Lu Yining didn’t answer.
She picked up the water glass and took a sip. Just as she was about to pick up the colleague’s words, the phone screen lit up again: [Male? ] Lu Yining: [No. 】
Less than half a minute after the news was sent, she felt that the back of the chair behind her was being pressed down, and then she heard the male colleague on the opposite side swallowing the water with a “coo dong”, and he quickly stood up, very nervous. He politely picked himself up and said, “Hello, brother-in-law!”
