"Father, how many days will you stay in Kyoto this time?" Zhao Jinyu sat opposite Chen Lihui. When he saw that the food on his plate was almost empty, he pushed the fried noodles he just brought in his direction and asked at the same time. road.
"I should be able to stay in Kyoto for two days. If nothing unexpected happens, I will return to the base the day after tomorrow," Chen Lihui said patiently, a rare warmth now showing on his usually indifferent face.
Unlike Chen Lixuan, who has been in the shopping mall for many years, Chen Lihui, who has been in the army all year round, has a facial features similar to his mother's, but the cold aura brought by the evil spirit all over his body cannot be concealed. , people feel that it is inaccessible when they look at it.
But even if it seems difficult to get close to him, with Chen Lihui's current status, when he occasionally appears in social situations, there are still many people who want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get closer to each other.
But at this time, when they saw the two father and son together, no one came forward to disturb them.
After Zhao Jinyu finished speaking on the stage just now, he did not do the opening dance as the protagonist of today like many birthday parties, but came directly here.
In order to be able to return to Kyoto in person to celebrate his son's birthday, Chen Lihui made arrangements for his work early in the past few days so that he could return to the capital on time. However, in the end, due to work reasons, he was still late when he returned to Kyoto today.
Seeing Jin Yu coming over, he dismissed a few people around him who were trying to talk further. After greeting some other close friends from a distance, the father and son found a relatively quiet corner to sit down. , have something to eat by the way.
After staying in the army for a long time, not to mention other habits, I definitely eat much faster than the average person. After Chen Lihui quickly finished a plate of fried noodles, he looked at his son sitting opposite and asked with a smile, "Jin Yu, you are now 18 years old. Do you have any special plans?"
Zhao Jinyu leaned on the chair and thought for a moment before saying, "You can get a driver's license when you turn 18. Apart from this, I think there will be no difference between tomorrow and today. What are your plans?" Looking at the smiling face of Chen Lihui opposite him, he He couldn't help but laugh.
"If you can get a driver's license, you should have a car of your own." After Chen Lihui said this, he took out a key from his pocket, put it in Zhao Jinyu's hand, and said softly: "Happy birthday! "As the first car in his son's life, he thought it should be given away by his biological father.
Zhao Jinyu seemed quite happy, "Originally, I planned to go to the car dealership to choose a car after my birthday and after I got my driver's license. Unexpectedly, my father prepared it for me in advance. Thank you, father!"
"Has your driver's license been issued?"
Zhao Jinyu once told him that someone helped him process his driver's license. Chen Lihui knew that he did not obtain his driver's license through any formal channels, but because he was completely confident in his driving skills and knew that he had a good relationship with the police force, he did not Ask more questions.
He has never studied in a formal driving school, but after being personally taught by the technical experts of the SWAT and special forces, Jin Yu's driving skills are much better than many novice students who have passed the formal driving school examination, so he does not need to worry at all.
Chen Lihui didn't ask specifically, and Zhao Jinyu didn't say much, but simply replied, "It's done. I'll go pick it up when I have time."
Zhou Lin called him two days ago and said that his driver's license had been issued by someone and he would bring it over whenever he came over. Zhao Jinyu had the idea of buying a car after getting her driver's license. It's just that he has been a little busy recently, and besides, Wang Qiang and others are following him when he goes out, so he is not too anxious about buying a car. Unexpectedly, on his birthday this time, Chen Lihui, his father, would give him a car as a birthday gift.
While Chen Lixuan was greeting the guests at the reception, he occasionally paid attention to the two people sitting in the corner. Seeing that his second brother had almost eaten and the two father and son were sitting there chatting, they came over with a glass of wine.
"Second brother," after Chen Lixuan came over, he greeted Chen Lihui first and then said to Zhao Jinyu with a smile, "Jinyu, you can't hide here all the time today, you are the protagonist today!"
"It doesn't matter if I, the protagonist, am here or not, as long as you are here, Mr. Chen Sanshao," Zhao Jinyu replied with a smile.
Although Zhao Jinyu said it as a joke, he really didn't say it randomly. Because Zhao Jinyu is the protagonist today, compared to some previous banquets, there are more girls who are almost the same age as him. They probably think they are similar in age. It is easier for young men and women to get along, but more people still focus on brothers Chen Lixuan.
Today’s protagonist, Zhao Jinyu, is still young and will have to wait a long time until he gets married. However, Chen Lixuan, who is over thirty and has a successful career, no matter what his own thoughts are, in the minds of most people, he has obviously reached the age where he should be married. It's time to start a family.
In addition, today is Zhao Jinyu's birthday, and everyone guessed that Chen Lihui, the second eldest son of the Chen family, would definitely attend in person, which attracted many families interested in marrying with the Chen family.
Although the old man of the Chen family has retired, his two sons have already shouldered the responsibility of being generals. The third generation Chen Licheng and other brothers are capable of doing their job. It can be said that the Chen family does not need to worry too much in the foreseeable ten or twenty years.
In addition, the two brothers Chen Lihui and Chen Lixuan are not only successful in their careers, but they are also quite good-looking. In this world where looks are important, this will definitely give them points in the eyes of well-matched girls. Quite a few.
The entire circle is only that big, and there are only so many men and women of the right age. We also need to exclude those who cannot choose marriage partners due to various factors. There is actually not much choice for the ladies and ladies in the circle. In this case, the Chen family brothers, whose entire family has been developing steadily, are definitely very good marriage partners.
The Chen family has a strong background, several brothers have successful careers, and have good looks, so it is certainly better in the minds of these people. Under the same conditions, who wouldn’t want to find a future partner who is more suitable for them?
It's no wonder that these beauties came to Zhao Jinyu's birthday party and expressed their affection for Chen Lixuan. Of course, even if these ladies from big families have intentions in their hearts, they are still relatively reserved most of the time.
On the stage, a newly popular youth group from Tang Dynasty Entertainment was performing hard. These songs and dances looked very exciting, but they did not attract the attention of the three people sitting in this corner.
Chen Lihui filled his stomach, and his son was beside him. At this time, he seemed very relaxed. He was shaking a glass of wine in his hand and smiled as he watched the uncle and nephew chatting and bickering.
After the violent music on the stage stopped, he stood up and said, "After being here for so long, I should go over and say hello to them, together with Jin Yu?"
It was those friends who were chilling him just now, because they could basically guess that he had just returned to Kyoto from the army, so they specially set aside some time for him, allowing him to take the opportunity to eat something and talk to his children whom he had not seen for a long time. If he stays in the corner and doesn't go over, it will appear that he doesn't know how to behave.
Chen Lihui is usually taciturn, but this does not mean that he does not know the most basic human ways. Apparently Zhao Jinyu also understood this. Hearing Chen Lihui's question, he nodded hurriedly.
He had already said hello to some important guests earlier to thank them for coming, and now that Chen Lihui, the father, was personally taking them, it was obviously more solemn.
After many years in the army, especially in the special forces, Chen Lihui's character has become more and more indifferent. But no matter how indifferent he was to the guests who came to attend his son's birthday party, no matter what their inner purpose was, he couldn't just ignore those who took the initiative to say hello.
Although Chen Lihui rarely attended banquets, he had a very good memory. Apart from some friends from Chen Lixuan Shopping Mall and those guests who had just entered the upper class circles of Kyoto, as long as they had met before, no one else needed to remind them. He can tell the other person's name very accurately, and even his financial background.
And this is very pleasing to people. After all, most people still want to be valued by others, and remembering the other person's name is the most basic.
It is also because of this that Chen Lihui mostly said hello to these people and didn't say much else. However, it did not make people feel rude. On the contrary, it made people think that he is like this in nature. He is just reticent. It does not mean that he has a bad attitude. good.
It took quite a while to greet people along the way until Chen Lihui finally arrived at the place where Murong Ze and others gathered.
"Are you finally willing to come over?" After speaking, Murong Ze clenched his fist and punched Chen Lihui in the chest.
Chen Lihui didn't take the fist that hit his chest seriously at all. He just raised his wine glass to him and a few other people. They were all old friends for many years and kept it secret.
Zhao Jinyu knew about the relationship between Chen Lihui, Murong Ze and others. Seeing that he had deliberately stayed at the end before coming over to greet them, he knew that they wanted to take this opportunity to chat more, and he was not prepared to stay aside anymore. .
People of similar age are always more likely to play together.
Zhao Jinyu felt relieved when he saw Fang Yubo and Hu Feng chatting happily with a group of his Peking University classmates, as well as Hu Mengyao, Li Luo and others next to them. This time, many of his classmates from Beijing University were participating in such a banquet for the first time. He was still a little worried, fearing that they would feel too restrained.
Seeing him coming, Li Luo greeted him first, raised his glass to him and said, "Jinyu, happy birthday!"
"Thank you!" Zhao Jinyu also raised the goblet filled with half a glass of ice water to him and looked at the female companion beside him.
I was a little surprised that the female companion accompanying Li Luo was not the Ling Jiajia I had seen a few days ago, but I also felt that this was expected.
Li Luo obviously noticed his gaze, and took the opportunity to introduce the identity of the girl next to him. "My cousin Xu Hui is the daughter of my brother-in-law." Li Luo said this specifically, just not wanting Zhao Jinyu to think that the relationship between them is now. Those ambiguous cousin-cousin relationships that many people talk about.
"Ever since she saw your calligraphy works at the charity auction, she has put aside all the oppas from the Bangzi country and screamed every day to see her new idol. Well, now that she has seen the real person, why not Come forward and worship?" The latter sentence, which was slightly teasing, was obviously said to Xu Hui who was standing beside him.
Xu Hui didn't know that she really liked the art of calligraphy. When she saw Zhao Jinyu standing in front of her, her eyes lit up, she quickly stretched out her hands, and said with excitement, "Wow, I finally saw the real person, wait a minute You must sign your name for me and make my buddies jealous when you go back!"
Zhao Jinyu looked at Li Hui's extended hand and hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and shook it, "Hello, thank you for coming to my birthday party!" Facing a girl who looked like she was meeting an idol, he felt really Don't know what to say.
"Okay, don't make a fuss and scare people. Now that you have seen your idol, are you happy?" Li Luo looked at Li Hui's excited look and felt that it was a bit unseemly, so he was busy trying to smooth things over.
With the help of Li Luo, Zhao Jinyu also changed the topic. Just then the host Ouyang Jia came on stage and introduced the following program as a small game for everyone to participate in, and explained the rules of the game. Like everyone else, he His attention shifted to the stage.
While focusing part of his attention on the stage, he was chatting with Hu Feng and others. They were talking in low voices when they heard a sharp and uncomfortable male voice coming from beside him, "Zhao Happy birthday, young master!"
