Now facing Da Zhuang, Xia Tian couldn't say anything. His "you're welcome" directly blocked the "thank you" she was about to say.

Last birthday plus this one...

"I haven't known him for a long time, and we haven't spoken much except for work. We don't need to reach this level. Maybe it's because Chengze, that's how friendships between men may be. For brothers,

Being a good friend means being good to a brother." Xia Tian thought this way, and an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart.

The soft mutton melts in your mouth, and eating it is like taking a sip of red wine. The light aroma of the wine lingers in your mouth for a long time.

Seeing Xia Tian's delicious food, Jin Yan said enviously: "It's a great blessing in life to marry a man who can cook. Was Brother Da Zhuang a cook before?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "No, it's the armed police."

Jin Yan asked in surprise: "Armed police! Didn't you become a firefighter or an auxiliary police officer after you retired?"

Da Zhuang replied calmly: "After working as a co-op for several years, and when I was about to become a full-time employee, I once caught a drug dealer and got slightly injured. Feifei refused to let me do it, so I had to work as a cook."

Jin Yan covered her mouth and laughed: "If you listen to her so much, do you like her?"

At a crowded banquet, people are almost always chatting with a few people nearby. Li Kai, Xiao Sheng and Liu Tao are discussing Miao Miao's wedding, saying that Miao Miao's first adoptive father hired many people to "take care of" her biological child all day long.

Parents, the wedding was able to go smoothly today.

"What about my uncle and aunt? Are they hiding abroad too?" Xiao Sheng asked.

"No, I asked a friend to buy some German shepherds and send them to the villa in the evening. The property management also made it clear that without their permission, the group should not enter the community again, otherwise they would call the police," Liu Tao said.

"Is it useful to call the police? It won't be treated as a family dispute, right?" Li Kai said while sending a WeChat message. He was a little depressed because Blue Yangyang didn't pay much attention to him these days.

Cheng Xiaolan didn't care who liked whom among them, and tasted the red wine Da Zhuang took out from the wine cellar as if she hadn't heard.

Xia Tian kicked Jin Yan. Men generally would not give up their careers easily, unless it was for the one they loved.

Now they are not together, or because Da Zhuang has not expressed his feelings yet, he may not be sure about the other person's feelings, and is afraid that he will not be able to be friends if he speaks out.

Either Zhao Fei has declined politely, but Xia Tian thinks it should be the former.

Jin Yan said it like this, making people so embarrassed.

Fortunately, Liu Tao and the others had been talking about the wedding. Cheng Xiaolan pretended to be deaf, while Zhang Fei and Cheng Ze ate without stopping. The heat in the pot helped them hide their expressions. I wonder if they heard.

Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the protagonist of the topic. Suddenly, she found that Zhao Fei didn't seem to care about Jin Yan's words. Maybe she didn't hear what Jin Yan just said.

Because she kept staring at Xia Tian's wrist.

Zhao Fei's eyes were different from Cheng Xiaolan's stern eyes. They were envious eyes with a bit of disappointment.

Xia Tian lowered his head slightly following her gaze and caught a glimpse of his right wrist. The bracelet shone with golden light under the chandelier above.

If the guess is correct, she should like Chengze.

Does Chengze know?

Where's the big brother?

Maybe you don’t know yet, but men’s ideas are generally very simple and not as accurate as women’s intuition.

Xia Tian tasted this sense of superiority for the first time. The person who was liked by so many people liked herself. This bracelet was like a scepter, showing off victory to them.

"It's too much. How could I think like this? How could I be so bad?" Xia Tian blamed herself in her heart.

"If you can't eat it, don't force it. Eat more hot-boiled meat, but it's a bit spicy. By the way, can you eat it? It's not your period, right?"

Xia Tian looked at Chengze in shock, how could he ask her about her menstrual period in front of everyone...

"You're blushing! Did you put too much red wine in the lamb chops?"

Xia Tian bit his lip and lowered his head. It was certain that he didn't know that Zhao Fei liked him.

"Aze, don't ask girls this kind of question." Zhao Fei said with a smile, "Let's have a drink together, Merry Christmas!"

After drinking a glass of wine, everyone talked about New Year's Day and New Year.

"Time flies so fast, Miao Miao is already married."

"I wonder who among us will get married next."

"Dazhuang or Liu Tao."

"I'm still single."

"I'm single too, and we don't have a holiday on New Year's Day either. We have a big event to do. It's not easy to do business in physical mobile phone stores right now. By the way, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the New Year for the next time we get together."

"Can everyone come here?"

"I'll do it."

"Me too."

"I'm coming too."

"I want to work part-time to buy a bracelet for Yanyan, and my salary will double during the Spring Festival."

"I'm just talking. You can buy silver, too. How can we not take a break during the Chinese New Year?"

"It's okay, I already promised you."

"It seems that this year, Da Fei and A Ze are the only ones who are going to be 30 this year."

"Aze is different from us. He wants to accompany his aunt."

"Do you spend the Spring Festival here every year?" Jin Yan asked.

"Well, we can use this villa Miaomiao as we please. The gate password is 194233, don't forget it," Zhang Fei said.

"Why are you telling me?" Jin Yan said.

"You are my girlfriend, of course I have to tell you." Zhang Fei said.

At this time, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"It's almost 9 o'clock, who will come?" Zhang Fei muttered as he walked to the entrance to open the door.

In the summer, I obviously feel a cold wind blowing in.

Then I saw Zhang Fei followed by two delivery boys, who were slowly moving into the living room holding a nearly 1-meter cake box.

Everyone got up and came to the living room.

"Thank you for your hard work! Merry Christmas." After sending the delivery boy away, Zhang Fei and Liu Tao carefully pulled the cake out of the box.

There is a double-layered wooden house cake on a square tray. The roof is covered with a layer of white cream, like thick snow. There is a green pine tree on each side of the house. There is a snowman in front of the house, and several children are playing around it.

, only one child was left alone. He was sitting on the stone bench in front of the door, holding his chin with one hand.

"Hey, this child's eyes are blue, can't he be Aze?" Zhao Fei said in surprise after observing him back and forth.

"This one seems to be Xiao Sheng who fell down. He loved wrestling when he was a child." Zhang Fei knelt down and pointed at a fallen villain and said.

"Then this curly-haired boy must be me." Li Kai said.

"Here's a card." Da Zhuang tore off the red and green greeting card stuck to the cake box and handed it to Zhao Fei.

"To my dear friends, I'm sorry that I was absent from Christmas this year, but I guess you will have a happy time even without me. We will meet again in the New Year and I will definitely be there. I love you." Zhao Fei

After reading it, I said with emotion, "The New Year may not come. After you get married, you won't be able to do whatever you want. There will be fewer and fewer people gathering here in the future."

"I still lived happily in the orphanage when I was a child. With the mother and the dean and you, no one left or joined. We were always a happy family." Xiao Sheng said after taking a sip of cream.

After hearing this, Xia Tian felt very uncomfortable. Maybe she shouldn't join their group. Maybe Xiao Sheng was not the only one who had this idea.

"Even biological brothers and sisters have to face separation when they reach their age. They have to go to college, work, and marry wives. They are often so busy that they can only get together once on the New Year's Eve. There is no way around it." Zhang Fei said.

"So I hate growing up." Xiao Sheng said frustratedly.

"You should be lucky that everyone is here except Miaomiao, and you have a few more friends." Zhao Fei hugged Xiao Sheng's shoulders like a big sister.

Xiao Sheng smiled as if he was coping. Seeing this, Xia Tian thought to himself that he probably didn't want these three people to appear here.

"So, what are you going to do with this cake? Store it for collection, or eat it?" Jin Yan asked impatiently.

"Of course I'll eat it," Zhang Fei replied with a smile, "You don't have any objections, right?" he asked everyone again.

"Um."

"No objection."

Everyone sat down around the cake with a paper plate in their hands, except Xia Tian.

"I can't eat the cake anymore and want to go to bed early."

"Are you tired? Then get some rest early. We will go to the Ice and Snow World early tomorrow morning." Zhao Fei cut a piece of cake and gave it to her, "Let's take it upstairs to eat."

Xia Tian declined: "I really can't eat anymore. I don't want to go to the ice and snow world. It's too cold and I haven't recovered yet. You can go ahead. I want to sleep in. You don't have to ask me to have breakfast tomorrow morning."

Zhao Fei felt it was a pity. She held Xia Tian's wrist and said softly: "Well, I have lived in the south for a long time and I really can't stand the cold and dry weather in the north. I will prepare a meal for you and put it on the table. You can sleep

Just heat it up in the microwave and eat it when you wake up."

She gently touched a gold bead on the bracelet with her thumb, then turned away.

"I know, thank you." Xia Tian hurried upstairs and lay lazily on the bed. Thinking of Zhao Fei's sad eyes, he lost all sleep.

The insomnia is not just because she took away the love of Zhao Fei, because there is a more important thing waiting for her to do tomorrow.
