Birthday Invitation
Li Li didn’t expect that he would receive an invitation to Yan Ji’s mother’s birthday. And it was not a verbal invitation, but a very formal invitation.
The velvet cover had a gold stamp on it. The invitee was Li Li, and the host was Yan Ji’s parents – Yan Guohai and Qin Qianqian.
This was the first invitation Li Li had ever received in her life, so she was filled with excitement and joy, but she was also a little confused. “Why did my uncle and aunt send me this invitation?”
Why would you invite me? Actually, it doesn’t have to be so formal, you can just tell me.”
“It was my mother’s 50th birthday, and my family wanted to give her a good celebration, so my father chartered a cruise ship, and the invitation was like a ticket. My mother asked me if I had any.
What friends are going to invite over to play? I only thought of you. “Yan Ji bumped his shoulder, “How about a luxury cruise, a three-day and two-night trip? Am I
Very nice?”
Li Li gave him a thumbs up and said, “That’s very nice!”
“It happens to be right after the holiday, so you don’t need to ask for leave or anything, just treat it as a short trip.” Yan Ji asked him, “By the way, it won’t delay you.
What’s up?”
Li Li said: “No, I haven’t decided on a job yet. I just want to stay home for a few days. If I want to attend my aunt’s birthday party, I will go with
My mother said to go back two days later. ”
“Are you going to work again during the summer vacation?”
“Of course, I can’t be idle for two months.” Li Li has been considering finding a summer job recently. The private restaurant only needs to work at night, and during the day
The day will be free, so he can find another part-time job.
Yan Ji said: “Then I’ll keep an eye on it for you.”
“Thanks. By the way, what would Auntie like? I have to prepare a gift as soon as possible.”
Yan Ji said: “I can prepare it for you, you don’t have to worry about these.”
Li Li said: “That won’t work…”
“Why not? I want you to have fun, not to spend money. Just listen to me. Mom will definitely like the gift I prepare. I know best.
Her hobby is gone.”
Li Li didn’t say anything more to him, and only thought about what kind of gift to prepare in private. But he really didn’t know what Yan’s mother liked, and
Given her family background, she must have worn expensive items. The things that made Li Li feel painful just by looking at the price might be just ordinary in her eyes.
Cheap stuff.
So it’s really hard to send.
As the semester was coming to an end, the senior students graduated and the school held several farewell parties of various sizes. The school was filled with the atmosphere of separation.
They began to pack up their things, wash and dry them, trying to put away all the sheets and quilts before leaving school, and then everything was scattered in an instant.
Li Li packed the least luggage because he planned to stay at home for a few days and then come back to work part-time, so he only had a backpack. Yan Ji had more stuff than him.
Very little. Although he was carrying a backpack, the bag was almost deflated and I couldn’t tell how much he brought.
He drove over in advance, stuffed Li Li into the passenger seat, and then sat in the driver’s seat and fastened his seat belt, saying, “We won’t board the ship until tomorrow.
Come to my house and stay overnight.”
“Over at the big house?”
“yes.”
Li Li reminded him, “That’s not a good idea, right? How about I stay in your house near the school for one night?”
Yan Ji waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing bad. I’ve told my mother, and even Aunt Qin knows about it. She will prepare your meal at noon. And you
Why are you shy? It’s not like you haven’t been there before.”
“That’s true. You always went with your other friends before, but today I’m the only one going alone.”
Yan Ji narrowed his eyes and smiled at him, “So you are my honored guest.”
When he looked at Li Li now, he still felt his heart beating faster, for no reason and difficult to control. He would even easily develop desire if he had more distracting thoughts.
Ever since that conversation, he decided to suppress these thoughts deep in his heart and return to being good friends.
Seeing that he was a little distracted, Li Li quickly reminded him, “Look at the road, why are you looking at me?”
Yan Ji retracted his gaze and looked forward, “Where is the road? It’s all blocked, and I don’t know when it will be open again.”
There were too many students leaving school. Some parents drove to pick them up, and there were also school buses, taxis, and students pulling suitcases, which really blocked the road.
“So you can’t just park the car over there and we can walk over there? Why do you have to drive here in advance?” Li Li teased him, “Who can you blame?”
“Just blame me, I have a pig brain.”
The usual half-hour drive home took me an hour to get out of the traffic jam in front of the school gate, and by the time I got home it was almost noon.
Li Li was actually a little nervous when she came to his house alone, but it didn’t show on her face. She was still relaxed and polite when she greeted him.
Mother Yan obviously valued her son’s friend very much. She came to the door in advance to greet him and even took Li Li’s hand without any strangeness. She smiled gently and said, “You are so good.
Why haven’t the kids come to our house to play recently? I asked Aji several times, and he always said that you need to work part-time.
I know that making money can reduce the pressure on my parents, unlike Aji who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. ”
Yan Ji was not satisfied, “Why do you make me sound like a playboy?”
Mother Yan spit at him, “If you’re not a playboy, who is? You play around all the time, and you still have girlfriends. Every time I see you call me, my heart starts beating fast.”
I was afraid you would tell me I was going to be a grandmother.”
Yan Ji laughed at her, “Didn’t you tell your group of girlfriends that you dreamed of becoming a grandmother every day?”
“That’s because they’re looking forward to your brother getting married, not you. How old are you?” Mother Yan said as she brought Li Li into the house. There was a beautiful
This is obviously used by the banquet mother to entertain guests. Both the decoration and the furnishings have a strong personal flavor. She obviously likes flowers, tables,
There are bunches of lilies covered with dew in the vases on the table. The fragrance is so fragrant that makes people feel very happy.
Yan Ji smiled and said, “If I remember correctly, when you gave birth to my brother, you were about my age now, right?”
Yan’s mother immediately retorted, “Nonsense! I was already 22 years old at that time.” She quickly remembered that there were guests, and smiled at Li Li, “I’ll show you how funny you are!”
I just like to bicker with my youngest son. Lili, what do you want to eat? Tell Auntie or Auntie Qin, and I will make it for you. Auntie also thanks you.
You are willing to come to my birthday party. Actually, I don’t want to have a big party. As I get older, I want to avoid every birthday, as if that would save me.
They are just a few years younger. But they insisted on making it more grand, so they wanted to invite all their relatives and friends to go along.”
“You’re welcome, Auntie. I’m very happy to be invited. It’s my blessing to attend your birthday party.” Li Li smiled sweetly, “Auntie, look.
You look very young, like you are only in your thirties, so when I first saw you I thought you were Aji’s stepmother, I’m sorry.”
Praising a woman for her youth is always the best compliment. Thinking of what happened last time, Yan’s mother laughed happily, “Lili is really good at talking.”
She held him tightly, almost unwilling to let go, and chatted with him, asking about Li Li’s parents. Li Li did not elaborate, only saying that his father was sick and had lost his job.
The mother was working part-time, and she sighed and said, “No wonder you are so sensible, but it’s too hard. Lili, you are Ah Ji’s
Good friends, we take good care of his life at school. If you have any difficulties, just tell us and we will help if we can. ”
Li Li shook his head and smiled, “There are no difficulties now, everything is fine.” He added, “Actually, Aji helps me more in school. I help him.
It’s just a piece of cake.”
It was already lunch time while they were chatting, and Yan’s mother took him to the dining table. Li Li was a little nervous at first, but when he found out that they were the only ones eating
Mother Yan said, “Aji’s father has gone to work, and Awen rarely comes home. Usually, it’s just me and Sister Qin who have dinner together. Today, you guys are back.
Let’s have some fun.”
When he heard Yan Wen’s name, Li Li’s heart couldn’t stop beating, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Although there were only four people dining, Aunt Qin prepared a full table of dishes. Each dish was not large in portion, but there were many dishes. Aunt Qin was the live-in nanny of the Yan family.
She has been working in their family for more than ten years and is like a half-family member to the Yan family. She is older than Yan’s mother, with a plump figure and a sexy look.
He has a very good personality and a kind smile. When he looks at Yan Ji, he feels a sense of love as if he is looking at his son. When Yan Ji said, “These are all my favorite foods,”
She smiled and said, “Since you are back, of course I will prepare your favorite dishes.” She then said to Li Li, “Little classmate, take a look and see if it suits your taste. If you have any favorite dishes,
If you like to eat something, just tell me and I will make it for you in the evening.”
“Thank you, Aunt Qin.”
Yan Ji also took out his cell phone to take pictures. It was not enough to take pictures of the food, he also pointed the camera at his mother and Li Li and then excitedly posted it on his Moments.
During the meal, Yan’s mother was extremely enthusiastic. She kept picking food for Li Li and asked him, “Has Aji been causing trouble for girls again recently?”
Yan Ji protested, “Mom, what do you mean by ‘harm’? I’m so tall, handsome, graceful, gentle, considerate, and generous. Dating with me is a pleasure.”
Do you know how many girls in our school want to add me on WeChat?
Mother Yan rolled her eyes at him inelegantly, “In my opinion, your unfaithful love is a disaster.”
“How am I not loyal? When I’m in a relationship, I always talk to people in a good way. I never cheat or flirt with others. If we break up quickly, there must be a reason, okay?” Yan Ji actually
He felt a little guilty. He knew that he changed girlfriends too often, but he didn’t understand. He was clearly looking for true love when he was dating, but he was always so
Then the feeling called “like” did not heat up, and even dissipated quickly. Then it felt less and less interesting, and finally we gave up and broke up.
“What could be the reason? Choose between being unfaithful and being promiscuous?”
Yan Ji’s throat seemed to be blocked, and after a while he said in a disappointed tone: “I just haven’t found true love.”
Yan’s mother laughed at him, and Li Li also looked at him with a teasing look, showing a row of white teeth. Yan Ji felt a little itchy when he saw his appearance, but he was very
I quickly ordered myself not to let my imagination run wild anymore.
It’s not like he hadn’t thought about attacking Li Li, and he was very sure about it. So what if they were of different sexual orientations? The two of them already had a foundation of friendship.
It’s not impossible to get to that point.
But then what? Will you get bored quickly like your girlfriend and completely ruin the relationship between the two of you?
By then, I’m afraid we won’t even have any friends left.
He couldn’t bear to do it.
So it is better to maintain the status quo. After all, he does not want to bear the consequences of “going beyond the limit”.
The meal was eaten slowly while they talked and laughed. Surrounded by the enthusiasm, Li Li had to work hard to swallow the food that was put into the bowl. When he was about to eat too much, he suddenly
Someone appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Seeing the newcomer, both Yan’s mother and Aunt Qin were stunned. Yan’s mother asked first, “Why are you back, Awen? Have you eaten?”
Yan Wen glanced around the room, his eyes lingering on Li Li’s fair cheek for a second before he said, “I haven’t eaten yet.”
