Jiang Chen has been thinking about what kind of flowers the little girl can create for a birthday blessing... and she also needs to shoot a video to wish her.
As a result, when he saw a girl dressed as a western cowboy saying "Happy Birthday" to him seriously on the screen, he still couldn't hold it back.
"No...what are you talking about?" Jiang Chen asked.
Isn’t it enough to say the English version of birthday greetings in person... Do you need to record a video?
"Also, look back!"
Seeing that he wanted to complain, Han Yutong raised his hand and immediately ran behind him, pulling his head to make him look at the screen.
Next, the girl on the screen took off her cowboy hat, swung it forward, and in the next second she changed into a black dress and red skirt.
"Buon Compleanno!"
"This means happy birthday in Italian." Han Yutong explained beside him.
When Jiang Chen saw this meaning blessing, he suddenly became interested and wanted to read on.
Wouldn’t it be followed by blessings in various languages?
To be honest, this is the first time Jiang Chen has received birthday wishes in this way.
Usually everyone only speaks Chinese or English, and the third language is a rarity.
Afterwards, Han Yutong in the video changed into different styles of clothing and wished him a happy birthday in different languages.
The short video ended abruptly after she finally finished saying the birthday curse.
There are nine countries in total - Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Russia, West, Japan, Thailand and South Korea.
"How about it?"
Han Yutong eagerly introduced behind him.
"This is the gift I prepared for you, blessings in ten languages!"
"Ten Kingdoms?"
Jiang Chen calculated: "Aren't these only nine?"
"Humph, I knew you would say that." Han Yutong's voice was filled with confidence, as if he was expecting it.
"it's here!"
Han Yutong turned on the light behind him, and then walked quickly to him.
The whole room was dark just now, with only a little light from the projector, and he couldn't see clearly what the little girl was wearing.
After turning on the light, Jiang Chen saw Han Yutong's outfit clearly. His pupils shrank slightly and his mouth opened wide subconsciously.
The girl in front of her was obviously well-dressed, with her black hair in a bun, a hint of cinnabar on her forehead, red lips and white teeth, she was particularly attractive.
She was wearing a classic white dress and red skirt, with a lotus embroidered on the top and bottom, and two ribbons hanging from her waist, outlining the girl's slender and beautiful waist.
Holding a round fan in her left hand, a peach blossom branch in her right hand, and stepping on the mist, she looks like a fairy in a painting.
"I go……"
Jiang Chen opened his mouth wide and looked at the fairy-like girl stepping lightly on the floor and approaching him, holding a flower branch and having a delicate fragrance on her body.
She hung the flower branch in her hand on Jiang Chen's head and opened her red mouth at the same time.
Then, there was a moment of lag.
"this……"
The two looked at each other for a long time.
Han Yutong was so excited that he even forgot to say his blessing at the most critical moment.
She quickly stuffed the fan in her left hand into her waist, took out a small notebook and looked at it, cleared her throat to avoid embarrassment, and said in a recital tone:
"My beautiful face looks beautiful, and my head is filled with flowers, year after year. I wish you good health and never have any worries!"
After saying that, she breathed a sigh of relief and puffed out her chest:
"How about it, the ten countries have gathered together!"
Jiang Chen looked at the girl who looked like a fairy in a painting, his mouth slightly opened.
He used to make a lot of flirtatious remarks, but faced with this situation, he couldn't even say anything to complain about.
Han Yutong was extremely satisfied with Jiang Chen's surprise and said with a smile.
"Just now you asked me why there are only nine countries here, because the best blessings must be said to you face to face."
"I……"
Jiang Chen didn't know how to reply to the little girl's words.
He was a little moved.
This was indeed the most impressive birthday he had ever had.
In the past, it was nothing more than everyone getting together, singing a birthday song, lighting wax and making wishes, and it was a lively atmosphere.
Although I may feel happy at the time, it will soon fade away in my memory.
And today, his birthday, will be a moment that he will remember for the rest of his life.
When he became an adult at the age of eighteen, his meaning expanded infinitely.
She is really attentive...
"I...I want to interview you." Jiang Chen said.
"Let's do the interview! Tell us everything you know!"
"You actually bought so many foreign clothes?" Jiang Chen was curious about the different clothes and couldn't help but ask.
"No, they are all kept in the closet. I bought them as souvenirs when I traveled abroad. I just used them this time."
Han Yutong pointed to his Hanfu embroidered with lotus flowers and spun it around in front of him.
"My favorite thing is this waist-length waxy skirt. It's your birthday today, so it's an advantage for you!"
Jiang Chen looked at the smiling girl and couldn't even say anything flirty for a moment, so he could only say honestly:
"Thank you."
"Surprise, be happy. When it's my birthday, I'd like to see what you prepare for me!"
Han Yutong raised his face and looked at Jiang Chen's expression quite proudly.
This is the effect she wants.
And this is only the first part of her surprise trilogy, there are two more to come!
I must let him have the most perfect and impressive birthday this year when he turns 18!
If he doesn't get it by then, I'll have the initiative!
The little girl was immediately full of expectations for the future relationship between the two.
Looking at Han Yutong's complacent look, Jiang Chen couldn't help but watch the birthday blessing video again and said:
"Can I make a copy of the short video?"
This video makes him more memorable than the so-called black history.
"I have put the videos on the USB flash drive. You can take them when the time comes."
Being reminded by Jiang Chen, Han Yutong broke away from his fantasy and hurriedly said:
"The next thing is the second birthday surprise, eating cake!"
As soon as Han Yutong finished speaking, he hurriedly picked up his skirt and ran out.
I tripped halfway and almost fell.
"Slow down." Jiang Chen said hurriedly.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Han Yutong in such a hot mood.
He watched Han Yutong enter the kitchen, and soon after, he brought a large bowl and placed it on the dining table, signaling for him to come out.
Jiang Chen leaned over to take a look, and it turned out to be a bowl of steaming chicken cake.
She put her hands on her hips: "You must eat the cake prepared by your parents for you tonight, so I didn't order it in advance. Come and try what I made for you!"
"Can you still make cakes?"
Jiang Chen looked at the bowl of golden chicken cake in front of him.
It is also sprinkled with chopped green onion and small shrimps, exuding an attractive aroma. When you touch it lightly with a spoon, the egg cake immediately trembles.
I am used to eating Western-style birthday cakes on my birthdays, but seeing this return-to-nature “cake” made me feel fresh.
"Did you learn it online? I'm so smart, I can learn it just by learning it."
Han Yutong felt a little guilty when he thought of his trash can filled with egg shells.
If the chicken cake is not cooked properly, it will be cooked on the outside and raw on the inside. If it is cooked too much, it will taste a bit old.
In order to steam this golden and elastic looking chicken cake, she had to waste at least a whole plate of eggs...
Anyway, you definitely can’t say this to Jiang Chen.
What if he laughs at his clumsiness?
Sitting next to Jiang Chen, Han Yutong took out a birthday candle and lit it.
"Blow out the candles, happy 18th birthday!"
Han Yutong rolled up the wide sleeves of her Hanfu, revealing half of her snow-white forearms. At this moment, she didn't have the reserve of a beauty in ancient costume. She looked like a glutton, tapping the table impatiently.
"Hurry up and make a wish, I haven't had breakfast yet!"
Jiang Chen laughed dumbly, closed his eyes and made a wish, then cut a large piece of the chicken cake and put it into Han Yutong's bowl.
"What do you think?" Han Yutong dug out a large piece and put it in his mouth, closing his eyes and enjoying the food he made.
"One hundred percent!" Jiang Chen was also hungry and started eating the soy milk he bought.
“As long as it’s delicious!”
Han Yutong stared at the chicken cake in the bowl, took a spoonful and handed it to Jiang Chen, smiling.
"Birthday boy, you eat it."
"You can eat it." Jiang Chen declined.
"Okay, I'll eat it then." Han Yutong didn't refuse. He smiled and put the spoon into his mouth.
Jiang Chen basically didn't touch much of the large bowl of chicken cake, letting the hungry Han Yutong eat it all.
After enjoying the birthday "cake", Han Yutong took out the gift box that he had prepared long ago.
It was an exquisitely packaged rectangular bright red gift box with a big bow on it.
"This is the third birthday surprise, a birthday gift!"
"You are too well prepared..."
Jiang Chen was a little dazed.
It seemed like she had thought of everything she could prepare for her birthday.
I took the gift box and shook it, but there was no sound of collision inside...
Not a mouse?
What would she give instead of a mouse?
Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder: "What's inside?"
"A gift." Han Yutong replied immediately.
"what gift?"
"A birthday present."
Jiang Chen: "..."
Looking at the other party's smiling face, Jiang Chen knew that she would definitely not tell what was inside, so he wanted to take it apart and take a look, but was immediately stopped by Han Yutong.
"Go back and unpack it! Why don't I box it up in vain?"
"Can you give me some tips?"
Looking at this exquisitely packaged gift box, Jiang Chen was somewhat curious.
"Well... to put it simply, it is an excellent gift that can warm you throughout the winter!" Han Yutong did not forget to boast.
"You are really getting better and better at advertising..."
"I learned from you, and also, the clothes in Yuchen's online store have started to be sold."
"How's the sales?" Jiang Chen asked hurriedly.
In addition to the midterm exam results, there is really a lot of good news recently.
"Who knows, it's just been hung up. I'll ask Aunt Liu to watch it for me when the time comes."
"Aunt Liu?"
"Ah, the manager of my store, I asked her to help shoot this video."
"oh."
Jiang Chen nodded and spoke to her seriously.
"Han Yutong, I will pay for the purchase."
If you don't take advantage of the huge information gap of rebirth to make a fortune, you're really wasting this God-given opportunity.
"Don't worry, I won't do it until you do it. One size is one size."
Han Yutong thought for a while, blinking his bright almond eyes and dreaming.
"If we can make it big in the future, my mother will be able to return to China..."
"Isn't your mother coming back at the end of this year?"
"Yes, but after staying with me for two days, she will probably go back again." Han Yutong became a little unhappy when he mentioned this.
"Then do you want to study abroad at university?" Jiang Chen tested Han Yutong's skills.
"I don't want to think about it. Overseas, it's just a novelty and the place is unfamiliar. How can it be as good as at home." Han Yutong rejected the idea without even thinking about it.
Jiang Chen was slightly relieved.
"But mom told me last time... told me..."
When it came to going to college, Han Yutong hesitated.
After the last picnic, she contacted her mother as usual and accidentally chatted about her grades.
Her mother's intention was very clear. As long as she could pass the exam, she could not consider going abroad for the time being.
That's why Han Yutong was so happy when he learned about his midterm ranking, which marked that he was one step closer to the last book.
"Are you telling me that I will let you pass the exam, or else I will let you go to university abroad?"
"How do you know?" Han Yutong couldn't help but widened his eyes.
"Your mother has entrusted you to me, how can you not tell me about this?" Jiang Chen didn't care.
"What kind of entrustment? It's as if you support me..." Han Yutong pursed his lips.
"It's okay, you can support me, I don't mind eating soft food." Jiang Chen said carelessly.
"Go, go, go..." Han Yutong didn't care that it was Jiang Chen's birthday, and pointed at him to let him go.
"No more tutoring?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"Farewell, dad has finished his business trip recently and will come home to see me every Sunday from now on."
"Your father comes back to see you every Sunday?"
Jiang Chen was stunned and asked.
"real or fake?"
Doesn't her father have a family of his own...
If you do the math, it is estimated that Han Yutong's half-child will not be older than five years old.
Her father won't accompany his children to Han Yutong on Sunday?
If you are so responsible, why would you marry someone else and have children?
"That's what he said in the phone call two days ago."
Han Yutong cupped his face with one hand and said nonchalantly.
"It's probably until mom comes back, so you have to show off in front of me."
Jiang Chen nodded, feeling that what the other party said was reasonable, but he still felt uneasy.
After all, he really hopes that the other party can pass the exam.
"But your grades would not have been achieved without me..."
"I can study well without you, and math is the proof!"
Han Yutong frowned, feeling unconvinced.
This time I could do well in mathematics, which is notoriously difficult, so why can’t I do other subjects!
When Jiang Chen saw this, he didn't try to persuade him. He smiled and said:
"That's okay, but I can also bring you breakfast on Sunday. If you have any questions, just ask me."
"Okay, okay, but he should be here around eight o'clock, so you can come and deliver him earlier."
Han Yutong readily agreed.
Then I looked at the clock, and it was almost eleven o'clock in the blink of an eye.
"You should go quickly. I will find a part-time worker to come to the house to clean up in a moment. Dad will be here in the afternoon."
"Oh well……"
Jiang Chen nodded, looked at the girl with a classic bun, and said.
"Let me take two more photos of you. I don't know when I will see you in this outfit next."
Han Yutong's smile was as bright as a flower: "Okay, remember to take good pictures,"
After getting a few photos of the beautiful ancient-style girl holding a fan, Jiang Chen was satisfied and took away the USB flash drive with the video of her birthday greetings.
"Then I'll leave first." Jiang Chen took the gift box and turned around to say goodbye to Han Yutong.
"Bye, remember to bring me breakfast at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
"I must remember that." Jiang Chen nodded and took the elevator downstairs.
After returning to the house, Han Yutong closed the door and just sat on the sofa when a phone call came.
After she got through, she asked:
"Dad, why did you call?"
"Daughter, um... dad is going on a business trip recently and can't go home to be with you." The person on the phone said apologetically.
He seemed to be on the street, with the laughter of children beside him.
"It's okay, dad, you're busy." Han Yutong said thoughtfully.
"I'm really sorry for you..."
After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Han Yutong was not surprised at all that his father was on a business trip.
He often didn't come back to see her because of business trips, and she was used to it.
Closing her eyes and thinking of Jiang Chen's happy look today, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and murmur to herself.
"You idiot, you still want to tutor me after you passed the exam like this. You should study hard on your own."
