After work, I asked Liu to go to the restaurant to buy some food and wine. I was feeling depressed tonight and wanted to drink some wine.
I thought Ningxia would reject my proposal because I was still injured and could not drink.
However, instead of refusing, she went with Da Liu!
I was left alone in the room.
This is definitely an unusual move.
Because Ningxia is very dependent on her room, she always comes to this temporary home immediately after get off work.
This seems to be her safe haven.
But today, he offered to go out with Da Liu? !
But I wasn't in a good mood, and since I was accompanied by Da Liu, I didn't think too much about it for a while.
After waiting for a long time, the two of them haven't come back yet, and I can't help but feel worried.
Just when I was about to go out to find them, the door opened.
Da Liu walked in first, carrying packed meals in his hand.
Then came Lao Yang, holding two bottles of liquor in both hands.
Finally, there is Ningxia, holding a... cake in both hands? !
I frowned and took another look. Although it didn't look like much, it was indeed a cake.
"Whose birthday is today? Where did you buy the cake?"
I was very surprised that I could still buy cakes in this park!
Besides, given our status and circumstances, are we still in the mood to celebrate our birthday?
Have you matched?
Da Liu chuckled: "Brother Yu, have you been blinded? Have you forgotten your birthday?"
"My birthday?"
I couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. How could I forget my birthday? November 26th is winter.
But now, summer has just left, autumn has just arrived, and winter is still far away, what kind of birthday is it!
"No, who told you it's my birthday today?"
Da Liu pointed at Ningxia and said, "Her."
Ning Xia's eyes were a little erratic and she looked a little embarrassed, "The date on your ID card is today, isn't it?"
I put a hand on my forehead and said to myself, Sister, do you believe that?
The date on the ID card is the date on which I applied for the certificate!
But I didn't pour cold water on everyone, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you for being so considerate, it doesn't matter what day my birthday is. From now on, it will be today."
Everyone seemed very happy to hear what I said.
The cake is very simple. The base is made of some buns and is simply covered with a layer of butter.
On the top, a few crooked words were spelled out using chocolate bars: Happy birthday, boss.
No need to think about it, it is definitely a masterpiece of Ningxia.
It is impossible for Da Liu and Lao Yang to have such delicate thoughts.
I never realized before that Ningxia pays so much attention to form.
Even though you are trapped in a prison, you are still in the mood to celebrate your birthday, even if it is for me.
But if you think about it seriously, she really cares about me.
Knowing that I suffered a great setback last night, I wanted to use this form to cheer me up.
I am indeed very happy, not because I ate a simple cake, but because I gained someone who truly treats you well.
No, three people.
Tonight's food was particularly delicious, the liquor was particularly fragrant, and my mood was particularly pleasant.
The four of us ate, drank, talked and laughed.
It can be said that this was definitely the happiest night for each of us since we stepped into this park.
After eating and drinking, we started cutting the cake.
The three of them sang happy birthday softly, and I closed my eyes and made a wish.
There were no candles, so Liu stuck three cigarettes on the cake.
Damn, that looks weird.
I opened my eyes and subconsciously blew out the candle, but I couldn't blow it out.
This funny scene made Da Liu burst into laughter.
"I hope we can all go back smoothly and reunite with our families soon. Now, let's eat cake!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Da Liu's laughter stopped suddenly, and Ning Xia's tears burst out. Even Lao Yang turned his back and silently wiped the corners of his eyes.
I didn't say anything, divided the cake into four parts, picked up one of them, and ate it.
Even though many years have passed and I have returned to China, every time I think of this journey to hell, I always think of this night.
The honest Liu, the gentle Ningxia, the honest Lao Yang, and the young and frivolous me.
At that time, we were not severely beaten by bullies or distorted by the temptation of the company, and we still retained the last trace of innocence.
Since that night, we have never laughed like this again.
Everyone's destiny also begins to turn in different directions, and sadly, the direction of turning is all hell.
And my birthday wishes, from the firmness at the beginning, turned into a misty dream.
In the end, the two kilograms of liquor were finished. Da Liu was the worst drinker and fell asleep on the sofa.
Lao Yang didn't drink as well as I did, but the more he drank, the more energetic he became, and he began to tell stories about his hometown.
Ningxia also drank a lot, her cheeks were rosy, and she looked cute in a rare way.
She didn't go back to the room. She just sat next to me, supporting her chin with her hands, listening to Lao Yang's speech.
As the birthday boy, the backbone of the team, and Lao Yang’s benefactor, I drank the most and was a little tipsy.
Lao Yang did not go back tonight and slept in the living room with Da Liu.
Ningxia and I slept on the bed.
I don’t have any symptoms of difficulty sleeping, and I can basically fall asleep just by closing my eyes.
Maybe it was because of drinking tonight. It took me a long time to close my eyes before I finally fell asleep.
Drowsily, I felt Ningxia move.
Then I took my hand, wrapped it around her neck, and put it on her cheek.
Then there was no movement.
I didn’t think much about it, maybe she felt safe like this!
In the next few days, our team did not produce any results at all.
Yes, not a penny came in.
On the other hand, Duan Lei was thriving with Five Fatty.
On the basis of the new handicap, he developed a rich businessman handicap.
As the name suggests, it is a market specifically targeted at some bad bosses.
Take advantage of these bosses' dependence on bureaucracy to deceive them.
Not to mention, he really made a lot of achievements.
Sister Feng asked me to follow suit. I discussed it with Ningxia and followed suit, but the effect was not great.
Sister Feng asked me to seek advice from Duan Lei again, but I refused.
The two of us are sworn enemies, and now that he is gaining the upper hand, let alone me taking the initiative to send him to his door, even if I don't, he will find an opportunity to come and attack me.
Who would bring shame on themselves? Anyway, I won't.
Continuous rejections and unsatisfactory performance made Sister Feng less and less patient with me.
But I ignored this bitch and spent all my energy on trying to please the bitch.
I would buy a few packs of cigarettes and send them over, and occasionally treat them to a meal, and I would quickly get along with them with my cowardly attitude.
Even if he is a mangy person, he still has a favorable impression of me.
He said something that made me sick. He said, I found that we two look quite similar.
As for why he humiliates himself by trying to please the loser, the purpose is simple.
One is to improve the terrain information around the park, and the other is to dispel their vigilance towards me.
Soon, the chance to escape comes!
About two days later, a piece of news suddenly made Ningxia and I excited.
The typhoon is coming!
