Hotel box.
In fact, Han Yutong originally wanted to go to the Sichuan restaurant that Jiang Chen took him to last time.
Although the taste of that restaurant was a bit spicy, the taste still makes her think about it.
But her parents had already made a decision, so she was embarrassed to go against their wishes.
A three-tiered cake has been placed on the table.
"Mom and Dad, what do you want to eat?" Han Yutong asked, holding the menu and wearing a birthday hat, looking at the two of them.
"Of course your birthday is all about listening to our little princess."
Li Junya smiled, but saw Han Yutong's face turning red.
"What's wrong kid?"
"Nothing mom..."
Han Yutong lowered his head and whispered.
"I...I'll order."
"This child seems to have been away from us for too long. He is embarrassed when he hears these words." Li Junya looked at the man beside him and said with a smile.
"Yes...yes..." Father Han said as he looked at the dazzling Li Junya beside him.
"Act more like it." Li Junya narrowed her eyes and whispered.
"I know, I know..." Father Han wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After a while, the waiter brought all the ordered dishes, closed the door, and tightened the curtains.
The whole room suddenly became dark, with only the light of birthday candles remaining, and the tune of the birthday song sounded at the same time.
The two adults sang a birthday song. As the birthday boy, Han Yutong clasped his hands, closed his eyes tightly, and began to make a wish.
She has many, many wishes in her mind, but one may not be enough:
Mom and Dad have a happy couple.
I am successful in my studies and passed the exam.
There is also hope that Jiang Chen can return to the top and get good results in the college entrance examination.
She was a little greedy and wanted to talk to the God in the sky who could fulfill her wish.
"Grandpa Fairy, let me make three more wishes, and let them all come true..."
But if you have too many wishes, it won’t work.
If she had to choose one of the three...she would still prefer...
"Child, have you made your wish?"
While Han Yutong was thinking, Li Junya asked with a smile by the candlelight.
"Right now!"
Han Yutong thought about it again and again, and finally gave up on the last two wishes.
"I hope that mom and dad will get along well and be together forever..."
She whispered silently.
"I hope my home will always be..."
Just halfway through the silent recitation, there was a slamming on the door outside the box.
What followed was the roar of a strange woman.
"Han! Come out!"
The three people who were celebrating their birthday were stunned.
Han Yutong opened his eyes before he could make a wish.
"What's wrong?"
"Han Hui, what's going on?" Li Junya asked the man next to him.
"I...I'll go out and solve it..."
Father Han's voice was trembling.
He knew that voice all too well...
Damn it, why did she come here...
He wanted to comfort the two women living in the house, so he hurriedly spoke.
"You two sit here, I'll go out and deal with it right away!"
Just as he was about to go out, the door was pushed open.
Han Yutong looked at the door and saw the woman with a ferocious face who brought the little boy into the house.
"You are..." Li Junya was confused.
The woman stared at the radiant Li Junya and Han Yutong wearing a birthday hat, her hands shaking with anger.
"Han! If you keep making excuses, what on earth did you do last night?"
"I..." Father Han's lips turned white, cold sweat broke out on his face, and his hands were shaking.
"Celebrating my daughter's birthday..."
"Your daughter's birthday is two days away, right? You keep acting so careless!" the woman said angrily.
"I
"Auntie...you are..." Han Yutong said hurriedly.
This sudden scene made Han Yutong, who was still in a happy family, stunned for a while.
who is she?
Why haven't I seen her...
He seems to know his father very well...
"Who am I? Didn't your father tell you?"
The woman looked at Father Han and said angrily.
"Let him speak for himself!"
"dad?"
Han Yutong looked up at him, eyes full of disbelief.
Father Han took two deep breaths and looked at his daughter who was staring blankly at him. He didn't have the courage to say those words for a long time.
At that moment it was like time stood still
None of the women who broke in, including Father Han, Li Junya, and Han Yutong spoke.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
Until the little boy held by the woman looked at Dad Han, held his hand, and made a milky sound.
"Dad, go home."
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Han Hui's face, making him feel ashamed.
He looked at the stunned Han Yutong over there and lowered his voice.
"I'm sorry...daughter..."
On the cake, the melody of the birthday song is still melodious.
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"
…
On the other side, Lin Shirou’s house.
"How do you feel about studying? Are you tired?"
Lin Shirou brought a piece of white pastry and placed it in front of Jiang Chen.
"How about the osmanthus cake I made?"
"tasty."
Jiang Chen tasted a piece and nodded repeatedly.
Osmanthus cake is sweet but not greasy, refreshing in the mouth, and tastes just right.
"If it doesn't taste good, would you say it tastes bad?" Lin Shirou asked.
"I would say it tastes good to the core of my heart, but it doesn't taste good."
Lin Shirou smiled when she heard that.
"Time flies so fast, it will be 2013 in a blink of an eye."
Then she turned her head and said playfully.
"This year is the last time we study. If you want to study, come next year."
"It's a pity that it's raining today. It would be nice to go out and play on this last day." Jiang Chen said.
"Wait until the college entrance examination is over before going out." Lin Shirou thought for a while and said,
"OK."
Jiang Chen agreed to Lin Shirou's words.
As usual, the two started the activities they often do——
study.
It wasn't until four o'clock when Jiang Chending's alarm clock rang that the two of them were finished.
"Why don't you eat at my house tonight? Mom won't go home tonight." Seeing Jiang Chen was about to leave, Lin Shirou persuaded him to stay.
Jiang Chen was actually not in a hurry. He had an appointment with Han Yutong in the evening, so he had time to start cooking now.
Just as he was about to get up, Lin Shirou stopped him and said:
"As guests and hosts, you have to listen to me."
Jiang Chen immediately replied: "I don't treat myself as a guest."
Lin Shirou was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
"Then let's come together and you wash the vegetables."
"okay."
The two of them cooked two simple dishes, just like before, and started eating just the rice.
Lin Shirou looked at the tofu and dried vegetables on the plate and said:
"It's a pity that I didn't prepare anything good for you for the last meal in 2012."
"No ah."
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Shirou's face:
"Haven't you heard of an idiom?"
"What?"
"It's beautiful and delicious." Jiang Chen said.
"Nonsense, let's eat."
Lin Shirou put the tofu in the dish into his bowl.
"Tofu means good fortune and health. I wish you a happy new year."
"Thanks." Jiang Chen nodded and fiddled with the rice in his mouth.
Just halfway through the meal, the phone rang suddenly.
Jiang Chen took out his cell phone, looked at the caller ID on it, and was stunned.
It's Han Yutong.
"I'm going to use the bathroom."
Jiang Chen quickly ran to the toilet and answered Han Yutong's call.
"Hello?" Jiang Chen said.
There was silence and no answer.
