  Chapter 299 Birthday Party Invitation

  A few days are fleeting.

When the squad leader called to tell him that everything was ready for the birthday party, it was actually less than two days before Lin Xingjie's birthday.

As Qingyue himself said, preparing for a birthday party should have been a trivial task for her, and she herself has been worried about it since a few weeks ago, and it makes no sense to keep delaying. Until now.

  The real reason for the conclusion is that the squad leader and him have disputes on certain issues:

  For example, who should be invited.

  Zhu Qingyue seems to want to call people who he knows--even people with familiar faces, even the teachers in the office have to send invitation letters one by one.

  According to her statement, Xingjie probably had a birthday party with her peers for the first time. It should be organized as lively as possible; and the larger the celebration, the deeper the impression Xingjie will leave.

  But Xu Xiangyang didn't think so. He even felt that the squad leader had a rare fever this time and made a faint move.

  It might be because she was too anxious to make up with Lin Xingjie, right? So I really want to take this opportunity to reverse the situation.

  Obviously, the person who said "Relax your mind" that day was Zhu Qingyue herself...

  In his eyes, Xingjie is certainly no longer the lonely girl who would refuse people thousands of miles away, but it is still a bit early for her to accept a lot of strangers to participate in parties with her as the protagonist.

  Don't talk about her, even Xu Xiangyang, if you know in advance that your birthday will become a noisy virtue, you will also feel a headache.

  I believe that most people will agree with his ideas.

  Among the people he knows, in such a scene, I am afraid that only a squad leader with superb social skills can manage it-but after all, it is Xingjie’s party, not hers.

  In addition, the key thing is the place where the birthday party is held.

  Xu Xiangyang originally thought that all he had to do was to hold a warm birthday party in his home.

  With him, Qingyue, and Sister Lian, the people who are closest to Xingjie have already arrived. At the same time, these four people are the hosts and regulars that the family accepts on weekdays.

  If a lot of people are really invited, the small room in the narrow alley can't be squeezed at all.

  You can’t let the guests who come to sit in the alley outside with stools, right?

  As for the squad leader, in order to make the birthday party grand, naturally they will find a way to choose another place:

  For example, guesthouses, fast-food restaurants like KFC, and even a whole floor of a grand hotel to celebrate.

  Price is not a problem, anyway, the squad leader himself is a little rich woman; there is also a small vault consisting of three bonuses. Even if Xu Xiangyang spent most of the time on buying imported motorcycles, it would still be more than enough if the rest was just used to hold a birthday party.

  ...Or, Qingyue’s own house.

Qingjiangyuan, where she lives, is the most famous high-end residential area in the city. Each building covers a large area; but in the past ten years or so, only the mother and daughter have depended on each other, and most of the rooms are usually vacant. It can be said to be a waste, and this time I just have the opportunity to make the most of it.

Xu Xiangyang felt that she would take the initiative to propose the last choice. Compared with the former squad leader, it is indeed a significant improvement; the only problem is that Xingjie’s curiosity has been satisfied since the last visit. In addition, the atmosphere of that home is not a try, she may not be willing to be a guest again.

  As for the rest are bad choices. Xingjie is not the kind of person with a strong desire for materialism and vanity. It might be counterproductive if it is too grand.

Xu Xiangyang didn’t hide it. After hearing Qingyue’s thoughts, he immediately reminded her that it would not be easy to make Xingjie happy by doing this. On the contrary, it would make her emotions difficult to grasp that day, and the outcome is likely to be " Development in the direction of “worse”.

  After all, whether they want to reconcile is a matter of two people. At most, Xu Xiangyang, the "culprit" should be counted, and Li Qinglian, the elder of the three, will be the witness...that's enough.

   Finding a bunch of people to watch is totally asking for trouble. It was a mistake from the beginning. I really can’t think of the reason why the squad leader insists on inviting other teachers and students.

  However, after he sincerely pointed out the mistake, the squad leader smiled and said the truth:

   "It doesn't matter if you are hated."

"……Eh?"

   "I have been hated by her a long time ago, and the degree can be described as bottomless. So it doesn't matter to me whether it is to add something or weaken it."

   "Uh, so you did it on purpose?"

  Zhu Qingyue nods. She raised an index finger in front of him and shook it lightly with an expression of "You really don't understand".

  "For me, the real important thing is to leave an impression; to be more serious, I want to leave a trace in Xingjie’s life that can never be erased, so that she will remember me for the rest of her life."

   "...What a terrible idea."

  Xu Xiangyang sighed. Originally thought it was Miss Qingyue's rare fumble, but she didn't expect that this was also in her calculations.

   "I feel that she has already impressed you enough. She has a rare relationship, but the result is this. You are the level of the big devil to her."

   "Hehe, if it is not for the level of ‘I’ll never forget’, how can I be ‘together for the rest of my life’?"

  Sir squad leader said solemnly,

   "Dislikes and good feelings can be transformed into each other, so the important thing is impression, whether it is good or bad."

  "Where did you hear these words?"

  "A late-night radio station that talks about the emotions of men and women. I usually listen to this when I do my homework."

   "...Even if this statement is really reasonable, does it mean between men and women?"

  "Why not put it on my relationship with Xingjie."

  Zhu Qingyue shook her head.

"She and I are not an ordinary'friendship between girls'. We are both friends and rivals, partners and opponents. This kind of complex emotions can't be drawn out of rules based on other people's experience. The most important thing is It’s still brave to try."

  Like the names of the two of them, one with a ‘star’ and the other with a ‘moon’—this idea came to Xu Xiangyang’s mind.

  He didn't know whether the squad leader was doing the right thing, but since the other party knew it, Xu Xiangyang stopped persuading him.

   However, on the issue of "how to hold a birthday party", he still decided to stick to his own ideas, and did not want to let the squad leader handle it.

  In fact, if they really want to take Xingjie’s thoughts and mood as the first principle, the most direct way is to ask directly.

  But Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie decided to hold this birthday party in the form of "surprise" from the very beginning. At this point, the two people's ideas are very unified.

  Even if the preparations are likely to be halfway by the time, Xingjie has already noticed their little actions, but she cannot leave behind her desire to create surprises for the girl.

  After intense discussion and friendly negotiation, the two compromised part of the content. The final location for the birthday party was a relatively secluded restaurant on a nearby commercial street.

  If you don’t go to Qingyue’s house, or go to the magnificent downtown hotel; Xu Xiangyang did not insist on doing it at home. After all, the place is really too small to hold a few people.

  Then, the invited members were not as many as the squad leader originally planned, but it was far more than four.

The rest of the participants are mainly a few students in the class who have a good relationship with Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie; in addition, the teacher they know also sent invitation letters, but it is not clear whether they will Agree to attend the student's birthday party.

   "Anyway, I'm pleased to invite guests! I will go to book the hotel and prepare for the specific process of the birthday party."

  At the afternoon self-study where a consensus was reached, after Zhu Qingyue threw the trouble to her boyfriend, she waved at him and turned away happily.

  Xu Xiangyang looked down at the heavy red invitation letter in his hand, as if he was also weighed down on his heart, and couldn't help sighing.

  The next step is to issue invitations.

  The first place to go...

  He looked at his class, then looked at the fifth class, and finally turned his attention to the office.

  Chewing bones, you have to start from the hardest place. In the same way, Xu Xiangyang decided to start with the most numb scalp.

  ……

   "Seriously, when you came in with this thing just now, you really scared me, Xu Xiangyang."

  The head teacher sitting in the chair shook the invitation letter in his hand. His expression was not as stern as usual. Instead, he smiled and said a little bit uncontrollably:

   "I saw this big red post with Lin Xingjie's name written on it, and almost thought I was going to invite me to have a wedding wine for you two."

"Hahaha!"

  The other teachers obviously heard what the head teacher said, and they all laughed, and the office was filled with joyful air for a while.

Xu Xiangyang and Lin Xingjie are talking about their premature love, which is considered an open secret in the grade, and there is also a more eye-catching squad leader of the fifth class. This matter is not said "everybody knows". , At least these well-informed teachers in the office are all aware.

  Of course, in the face of the fact that “the top students ranked first and second in age continue to maintain the lead, and one poor student makes great progress”, most people in the grade choose to close one eye.

  Xu Xiangyang scratched the hair on the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

  In fact, the situation is better than he expected. Although it is inevitable to be ridiculed, the teachers are very reasonable, even if they are secretly called by the students to be the head teachers of "menopausal women" and "dominatrix".

"Well, if you don't worry that my teacher will destroy the lively atmosphere of your peers, I will agree to it." The other party smiled and put the invitation letter in the drawer. "I'll be the first to recall the student birthday party. Invitation, very interested."

  Of course, the head teacher still did not forget his responsibilities. At the end of the conversation, she put on a serious tone and reminded:

  "If you feel tired from studying, you can relax. However, the most important task for you now is to prepare for the exam. Don't be too indulgent. After the college entrance examination is over, how do you want to play, right?"

   "Well, I know. Thank you teacher!"

  Xu Xiangyang sincerely thanked him.

  ……

  After returning to the classroom, he sent out the remaining invitations.

  The students in the class all readily agreed. Young people have an instinct to join in the fun and are not likely to refuse such activities.

  The last remaining difficulty is...

  Xu Xiangyang calmly glanced at the back of the classroom.

  Issuing invitations and birthday parties had to be done without telling me; but at this moment, the girl with croissants was lying on Lin Xingjie’s table and whispering to her.

   Waited patiently for a while, and when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, after the two separated, Xu Xiangyang took the time to walk to the other's seat, whispered and quickly talked about the birthday party, and put the invitation letter on her desk.

  Yang Wenjing put it away, but did not immediately respond to whether or not to go. Instead, he put his hands on his chest, leaned back slightly with the chair, and looked at him up and down with a cold look.

  After a while, she said abruptly:

  ——"Xu Xiangyang, you seem to have broken up with Xingjie now, right?"
