see you in spring

Chapter 9 Birthday Party
A week later
In the private room of the hotel, birthday star Han Guyu sat in the main seat in a pink cheongsam, in front of him was a cake with a cartoon design.Everyone sat around the table, Zhou You and Dongqing happily talked about their fishing, several children were running around with ribbons, and three best friends were chatting happily.

Seeing that it was almost time, Han Guyu picked up his wine glass and said to a large table of old classmates: "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday today. Come on, let me toast you all. Let's do it. It's all done."

Zhou You on the side couldn't see Han Guyu's obsessive-compulsive disorder, and tugged on the hem of her skirt: "We are all old classmates, so don't do those vain things, just drink as you like."

Han Guyu glared at him dissatisfied: "I said Zhou You, today is my birthday, do you have to choose today to choke with me?"

Zhou You was timid: "It sounds like I would dare to choke you one day."

"It's good to know. Why don't you quickly pick up the wine glass and drink it."

"Yes, Teacher Han." Zhou You obediently picked up the wine glass and followed

Jia Lie picked up the wine glass: "Come on, come on, today is Guyu's birthday, we all have to toast her. I wish Guyu good luck in the East and the sea, and longevity in the mountains. Let's do it together."

"Wait a minute." Han Guyu stamped his foot: "I hate it, who wants to live longer than Nanshan? Again, I wish me to be eighteen years old and be as beautiful as a flower."

Everyone laughed. If every small group has a favorite, Han Guyu has been the favorite in their six-person group since college.There are many coquettish words that Jia Lie and Sun Yan cannot say, but Han Guyu always comes up with them easily, and they always make people feel very cute.

As expected, Jia Lie laughed: "Okay, okay, I wish you eighteen years old, and Yanzi and I will also be eighteen years old. Yanzi, let us three ladies have a drink first."

Sun Yan finally kept her eldest son, who had been banging the dishes and chopsticks, quiet for a few seconds. She took the opportunity to raise her glass and said, "Come, I wish the three of us will become more and more beautiful and everything goes well."

"How dare we, two gentlemen, wait here for a long time with cups in hand, just to watch you drink?" Dongqing joked.

"Ladies first. Without us three golden flowers, you wouldn't know each other, let alone sit at the same table to eat. You can only be regarded as family members. Do you know the second echelon?" Han Guyu yelled at those people every day The naughty kid has mastered it, and his words echoed throughout the box. Even Sun Yan's mischievous eldest son didn't dare to knock the dishes.

Sun Yan and Jia Lie laughed and agreed, and the three of them drank the wine in their glasses in one go, feeling as if they were back to their noisy youth more than ten years ago.

After drinking one cup, Han Guyu's face immediately turned red.She wiped her lips and said to Dongqing: "Come on, it's your turn now."

Dongqing picked up the cup and was about to toast Han Guyu when she was pulled over by Zhou You: "Dongqing, let's have a drink. I wish my wife a happy birthday and wish our family happiness."

Dongqing saw that Zhou You had no intention of pouring wine for Han Guyu. He picked up the wine bottle and was about to fill it up with the birthday boy when he was stopped by Zhou You: "No, no, no, it's just us. She just drank a big glass. Let her slow down."

Everyone finally understood, and Jia Lie shouted, "Hey, you guys have been showing off your bad habits in public since college. When will you change it?"

Zhou You waved his hand: "I can't change it. I can't change it in this life. Who wants my wife to live forever?"

Han Guyu blew a kiss to Zhou You from the air, and Zhou You made a motion to catch it, and then put it into his mouth.

Everyone was laughing and Zhou You didn't care.

Han Guyu likes that Zhou You doesn't care what others see, and he can cooperate with her no matter what she does. This is why she, who is so motivated, chooses to be with Zhou You, who is so unmotivated.

As for love, isn't it just her making him laugh?

"Zhou You, you are still the same as before. The only thing that has changed is that you were tall and thin back then, and now you are tall and strong." Sun Yan said with a smile: "You know, we were in the same department as them when we were freshmen. A public class."

"I know, that class is called Public Relations, and the two of them fell in love in that class." Jia Lie continued.

"Whoever fell in love with him? He shamelessly said he fell in love with me at first sight and kept chasing me." Han Guyu gave Zhou You a wink.

Zhou You nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, you think it's too annoying for me to wait for you downstairs every day, so you only come together with me to eliminate harm for the people."

Dongqing also broke the news: "I still remember handing in a handwritten survey homework once in public class. This guy handed it in late. When he ran to the teacher's office to hand in the homework, he flipped through a mountain of homework books and found Han in it. Guyu’s, and then put his homework on top of Han Guyu’s homework.”

"Oh my god, is there such a thing?" Han Guyu laughed so hard that his branches trembled.

"How do you know?" Jia Lie asked Dongqing with a smile.

"At that time, we formed a team to fight World of Warcraft together. He came online late. I asked him why he was there, and he told me secretly."

Everyone laughed again, Zhou You also laughed: "This is trivial, my brother has done something more exciting than this."

"Isn't that right? I remember that we had to take the shuttle bus from the dormitory area to the teaching area in class. Who doesn't want to sleep more in the winter? At that time, Zhou You bought a bicycle so that we could sleep more in Guyu without having to catch the shuttle bus. , waiting downstairs in the girls' dormitory every morning. The most terrible thing is that he would sit in the back seat and wait for Gu Yu, who had finished washing and dressing up, to sit on him and make sure the cushion in the back seat was still warm. That's what I saw at the time You are so attentive that you agreed to let Gu Yu try dating you."

Zhou You made a bow with both hands: "You really have vision."

Everyone laughed again.

Sun Yan raised her voice: "It's true that you can't finish all the good things you have done in three days and three nights. I remember one time in an English class, you came over to join the class. I was sitting next to Han Guyu, and you actually said something to me with a worried look on your face. Someone was looking for me outside. When I ran out in a hurry, I saw that there was no ghost. When I came back, I saw you sitting in my seat, talking and laughing with Han Guyu. Seeing that you usually For the sake of delivering snacks to our dormitory, I sat in the other row, so you can get married, and Jia Lie and I also contributed a lot."

Zhou You laughed and poured her wine: "I know you two are loyal."

"Don't praise him. When he was in college, he stopped doing business every day and just fell in love. He failed every year and had to make up for the exam. I urged him to study hard, and he even told me that there were two top academics in my family. What a source of jealousy."

Dongqing drank with Zhou You in admiration: "If I had known I could ask you for some advice, I wouldn't have to wait until my junior year to be single."

Zhou You drank the drink in one gulp and waved his hand: "It's different. Your university is all used for studying, and my university is all used for falling in love. It will be good if you are single in your junior year."

Dongqing was very curious: "Did you really just want to spend the whole university falling in love? You didn't think about studying or working after graduation?"

"It's not too late to learn after I work, but if I fall in love after work, how can I meet Han Guyu again?"

"My god, Dongqing, you shouldn't have asked, look at these two people, we'll eat dog food for dinner tonight." Jia Lie slapped the table, laughing and protesting.

Han Guyu hugged Zhou You's neck and said with charming eyes: "Honestly, is this how you spent your college life even if you didn't meet me?"

Zhou You said with a serious face: "That can't be done. It would be a waste of youth for anyone but you."

Sun Yan and Jia Lie slapped the table together: "We are full of dog food. If we keep acting like this, we will leave."

Jia Lie smiled and turned to look at Dongqing beside him. How long has it been since she and Dongqing showed affection in front of everyone?
This couple is different from Dongqing and Han Guyu. Even when they are in love, they rarely act obscenely in front of everyone.Now that they have been married for so many years, let alone showing affection in front of outsiders, even if there are no outsiders, they rarely have intimate actions.

As far as she knew, one of the few times Dongqing showed affection was when he asked the department manager for leave to go get a marriage certificate with her.At that time, the manager of their department was an old man who loved to joke. Dongqing told him that she wanted to take leave to get married. The old man teased him and said, haven't you heard that marriage is the tomb of love?

Dongqing thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Then I want to go to the grave."

She was in the same company as Dongqing at the time, and she heard these words from a female colleague in the same department as Dongqing.Because of this sentence, the young couple became celebrities in the company.Jia Lie knew that this kind of persistence wrapped in black humor was Dongqing's romance.

He and Zhou You are two different types of people, and he can't learn Zhou You's tricks.Although Jia Lie envied the surprise Zhou You brought to Han Guyu, if she had to choose, she would still choose Dongqing.

It has something to do with her personality.She needs to be down-to-earth more than romantic.

He couldn't find oil bottles at home, but whenever it was a New Year or a holiday, he would remember to prepare a gift for Han Guyu. It didn't even miss the Qingming Festival, let alone Han Guyu's birthday and their wedding anniversary.

When Dongqing was in love, she often forgot her birthday. After ten years of marriage, she only had a wedding anniversary in the first year, and even this was forgotten later.

Watching Han Guyu collect flowers, Jia Lie also beat Dongqing overtly and covertly, but Dongqing was very disdainful of buying flowers, saying that buying flowers was a waste of money. With this money, he might as well eat something delicious, at least the food can still be given to him. Provide some nutrients to the body.

On their first wedding anniversary, they did go to a seafood buffet that cost RMB [-] per person. When they came back, they felt distressed for several days. Since then, every time she wanted to eat seafood, Dongqing would go to the vegetable market in person and buy the cheapest food. At a reasonable price, he bought back the freshest seafood and cooked it in different ways for her to eat.

Of course there were times when she and Dongqing were inseparable. When did they start not being interested in each other's bodies?Or is it because she is no longer interested in his body?If you think about it carefully, it seems that it was after having children and Dongqing resigned from the company.

Dongqing clinked glasses with Zhou You, and when he finished the drink, he saw his wife's lonely expression out of the corner of his eye.Doubts flashed through his mind, but only for a moment, because the next second, his daughter, Xiao Donggua, took his hand and said, "Dad, dad, I want to eat that meat."

Ever since she had a daughter, Dongqing's thoughts were all on her.All he could remember were things related to his daughter: the day when his daughter called daddy for the first time, the day when his daughter sat up for the first time, the day when her teeth first appeared, the day when her daughter introduced complementary foods for the first time. My daughter’s birthday…

Since resigning, he feels that his daughter is everything to him. Taking good care of his daughter and the family is his value and meaning of life.It's not that he hasn't noticed the subtle changes in his relationship with Jia Lie in the past two years, but he has no way, or can't think of a way to change it.

Maybe one day, their relationship will be in the chaos of life, either hot or cold war, gradually consuming each other's love, and finally become the most familiar strangers like most couples who have nothing to say. people.
