This time, Yi Qingqing was the one being celebrated as the birthday girl. In a few days, it would be Yun Guyuan’s birthday, and she was involved in the planning process.
It was basically the same approach.
Everyone pooled their money to buy the things. During the holiday last month, except for Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan, who had birthdays this month, everyone else chipped in their money and prepared the things. Later, two days before Yi Qingqing’s birthday, they revealed it to Yun Guyuan, and he joined in.
So Yun Guyuan didn’t know that all the things were prepared in double portions.
This time, the words on the red paper were written by Yi Qingqing.
She had been learning hard-pen calligraphy before and had not yet learned soft-pen calligraphy, so this time, she used a fountain pen to outline the edges and wrote hollow characters, which also looked very nice.
The congratulatory words on the paper were exactly the same as hers before, except that the name was changed.
The place prepared for the celebration was in Yi Qingqing’s room.
They discussed it in advance, and from then on, the template for their birthdays would be like this, which was both convenient and interesting.
However, on the morning of July 15th, Yi Qingqing followed suit and made a bowl of longevity noodles for Yun Guyuan.
She made the noodles very long. When it was ready, she heard the sound of a fire burning across the house, so she went to knock on the door with her bowl in hand.
“Ah Yuan, happy birthday. Eat this bowl of longevity noodles without breaking it in one go. I guarantee you will have a safe and smooth year.”
Yi Qingqing’s face was full of anticipation.
She also wanted to see Ah Yuan sucking the noodles, to avenge the ridicule she had suffered a few days ago.
Yun Guyuan’s eyes were full of pampering and helplessness. Her thoughts were written on her face.
“It’s cold outside. Come in.”
The portion of noodles was quite large, so it would take a while to finish. She’d better not get cold just standing at the door.
Yi Qingqing followed in and suddenly felt that she had lost.
When he came to deliver the noodles that day, she didn’t think about these things.
Forget it, she just looked at it and didn’t laugh out loud.
But as she watched, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why could he eat so slowly?
Why were the noodles so obedient in his mouth?
He lifted the noodles a little higher with chopsticks and ate them bit by bit without biting them off, nor did he pout and slurp the noodles like she did that day. (T/N: I suspect he had practiced hard these days, lest he embarrassed himself in front of his sweetheart, hoho~)
Yi Qingqing: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
She was so angry. It made her look so stupid that day.
Being stared at by her without blinking, Yun Guyuan was not as calm as he appeared.
It was just that the relatively dim room in the morning concealed the embarrassment in his lowered eyes and his red ears.
He finished the bowl of noodles bit by bit, while Yi Qingqing just admired his beautiful eating style.
After he finished eating, she took out a pair of cloth shoes, which was wrapped in paper and tucked them under her arm.
“This is a birthday present. Try them on and see if they fit.”
As soon as she said the words ‘birthday present’, she thought of the words at the bottom of the wooden box and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
After the weather turned warmer, the most regrettable thing for Yun Guyuan was that he couldn’t wear any of the clothes and shoes that Yi Qingqing had made for him.
Even if he couldn’t wear it, he would wash it and put it on the top shelf of his suitcase, and he looked at it every day.
This pair of shoes was obviously suitable for this season. They were neither too big nor too small. Just right.
