You're forcing me to be reborn, right?

B\u0026B, suite.

The sound insulation effect here is really good. You can't hear anything from the outside world, and the outside world can't hear anything inside.

In the end, it was Cheng Zhu who went to the bathroom to take a shower.

He called the counselor several times, but she didn't respond. She just curled up in the quilt and covered her flushed face.

Her most genuine reaction at this moment can actually inspire a man's endless sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

After Cheng Zhu came out of the shower, he found that she had already put on her bathrobe. Then she quickly slipped into the bathroom with her head lowered without speaking to him.

The hot water washed away the mud, and Chen Jieyu felt that she had been driven crazy by him again.

And the most important thing is - the long night.

This is just the first half.

When she walked out in her bathrobe, she saw Cheng Zhu standing at the table in the living room.

On the table, there is a small birthday cake.

The cake is very exquisite. It was bought from a well-known dessert shop in Hangzhou, and the price is not cheap.

"Where did the cake come from?" Chen Jieyu was slightly stunned.

Cheng Zhu glanced at her and saw that her cheeks were still slightly red. This was related to the hot bath she had just taken, but not entirely.

"I brought it here in the afternoon and asked the boss to help me freeze it. I just called him and asked him to bring it up," he replied.

As he pulled away the ribbon on the box, he said, "You still have to eat cake for your birthday."

The counselor looked at the exquisite cake on the table, which was in sharp contrast with the decorated cake he bought.

It is so exquisite, and it seems to exist just for girls to take photos and send to WeChat Moments. Even the packaging is extremely particular. The paper tray of the cake is dotted with pearl balls of different sizes.

The pink plastic packaging of the decorated cake in her bag gave off a sense of cheapness.

Chen Jieyu took out a chair next to him and sat down next to him.

Cheng Zhu looked at her and asked in surprise: "Why don't you take out the cake in your bag?"

"Um?"

"Stop pretending, I saw it when you were taking something from your bag. No, you wouldn't be reluctant to give it to me, right?" Cheng Zhu was shocked.

"That's not what I meant." Chen Jieyu had no choice but to take out the small ancient decorated cake from her bag.

Putting it next to the cake Cheng Zhumai made, the contrast was even stronger.

"It's quite amazing. How could you find such a retro style? I haven't had this in probably ten years. I don't know if it still tastes like it was when I was a kid." Cheng Zhu smiled and put it away. Lifted it up and looked at it.

His performance made Chen Jieyu slightly relieved.

"Why did you think of buying this cake just to recall your childhood?" Cheng Zhu asked.

Little did he know that what he said was incorrect. He still underestimated Chen Jieyu's family situation.

She shook her head and said softly: "It's because I couldn't eat it when I was a kid, so now that I see it, I want to buy one."

This actually made him fall silent.

He originally thought that in a patriarchal family like hers, it would be impossible to prepare elaborate birthday gifts for her. The only way to survive would be to buy a cheap cake or a whole bowl of birthday noodles.

Therefore, he will prepare 27 gift boxes.

But I didn't expect, hey, they don't celebrate their daughter's birthday at all, they just ignore this day.

"I'm so damn conservative!" Cheng Zhu couldn't help but said in his heart.

But if you think about it carefully, although the retro trend has always been there, with Chen Jieyu's character, she probably wouldn't have found this kind of ancient decorated cake interesting and bought it without any special reason.

Chen Jieyu looked at him and said, "Am I a bit pretentious?"

"There are no people in this world who are completely unpretentious." After Cheng Zhu replied, he immediately changed the subject and suggested: "Then I'll take this from you first. I really miss the taste of my childhood."

Chen Jieyu nodded and opened the transparent lid.

"Why don't you light a candle and make a wish?" he asked.

Chen Jieyu shook her head.

It was just for her birthday, and this was originally bought for the little girl from the past. As for wishes, when I was a child, I closed my eyes and clasped my hands together, secretly made them in my heart, and blew "candles" into the air.

The cake Cheng Zhu bought belonged to 27-year-old Chen Jieyu.

Holding a fork, Cheng Zhu took a bite of the decorated cake and felt the difference in the texture of the cream.

"When I was a kid, I thought it was delicious!" He said in his heart.

But people are like this, and the threshold will become higher and higher.

When I was a kid, I felt happy just by drinking a bottle of soda. The snacks that cost 50 cents a pack at the school gate were the delicacies of the world.

But as you eat more and more things, have more and more experiences, and see more and more of the world, the threshold of happiness will become higher and higher.

The most hateful thing is that many people were "prophet" when they were young.

When you were a child, you wanted to eat instant noodles every day, but now you finally realize it.

When you were a child, you thought computers were the most fun and wanted to sit in front of them every day. Now you are working and you can do it.

When you were a child, you hoped to have one hundred yuan every day. Now your monthly salary is three thousand yuan.

Damn it, no wonder I have to be happy!

The small decorated cake was eaten by Cheng Zhu's big mouth in a few seconds, and Chen Jieyu only took two bites.

But looking at his Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, a slight smile appeared on her face, a little less serious and a little more agile than before.

It was like the little Chen Jieyu who had been entertaining him for so many years appeared in her life in an unreasonable way.

"Is it so delicious?" She was a little confused.

"To be honest, the cream tastes just average, but it just makes people miss it." Cheng Zhu said.

In his memory, Holiland seemed to have launched a similar retro model in a few years, but the materials used were definitely different from those used more than ten years ago.

It does not taste that good, but it is still a memory for generations.

"So, now it's time to make a wish and blow out the candles." Cheng Zhu said.

After putting candles on the cake he bought, he didn't rush to light it, but connected the Bluetooth speaker in the B\u0026B room.

"Wait a minute, I'll play a birthday song for you." He connected the speaker and said, "I will definitely sing a few lines for you, but I'm singing a cappella here alone, and I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed, haha! "

After the candles were lit, Cheng Zhu turned off the lights in the B\u0026B. The birthday song was still played on the Bluetooth speaker, and it was the most common version, not the Haidilao version.

Chen Jieyu originally thought that she would be very uncomfortable with this kind of link, or even reject it. But when the lights dimmed and there were only a few candles in the room, and Cheng Zhu's singing mixed with the speakers, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

For some reason, her nose felt a little sore, so she decisively closed her eyes.

When Chinese people make a wish, they always like to make a big wish.

Things like getting rich are difficult.

In fact, even the four words "good health" are not that easy.

Chen Jieyu has understood a truth since she was a child, that is, the world will always make things go against your wishes.

Therefore, she never makes any big wishes, or in other words, very broad wishes.

Rather than saying that she is making a wish now, it is better to say that she is making a promise for the next thing:

"I hope I can celebrate my birthday with Cheng Zhu next year."

She didn't even promise it every year.

Just next year, that’s all.

Because of this wish, I can make it again next year.

once a year

In the living room of the B\u0026B, Chen Jieyu blew out the candles burning on the cake.

Cheng Zhu, who was standing next to the switch, turned on the light with a snap.

He turned off the Bluetooth speaker with his mobile phone and asked with a smile: "What wish did you make?"

"Don't you know that wishes cannot be expressed?" Chen Jieyu asked.

"I didn't expect you, a university worker, to be so superstitious!" Cheng Zhu took out the tray and cutlery from the bag and handed them to her.

The counselor took the knife and fork and looked at the cake, a little at a loss what to do.

"It's just the two of us, we can't finish it," she said.

"Eat it first, and we'll talk about the rest later." Cheng Zhu replied: "I've tried my best to buy the smallest one. In fact, if this style is made larger, it will look better."

Finally, Chen Jieyu cut a small piece for herself, and then cut a large piece for Cheng Zhu.

"No, this is too big!" Cheng Zhu was speechless.

Women are like this, they can’t finish the food and don’t know if they try to eat more, they will just give it to us men!

But what’s interesting is that Cheng Zhu, like most men, can actually finish the meal even if he tries hard.

And he ate faster than Chen Jieyu.

While eating the cake, he also asked the counselor: "How is the contact with Dean Zhang?"

This matter has been going on for some time.

Cheng Zhu was not in a hurry about this, he just wanted to understand the situation.

"I guess the dean has the best candidate in mind, and he will give priority to waiting for this person's reply." Chen Jieyu said.

"who?"

"Maybe it's his son who is traveling around the world." She guessed.

"Huh? Travel around the world?" Cheng Zhuwei was stunned.

"Dean Zhang's son is a top computer student at Tsinghua University. He has very strong skills and abilities. He is well-known in the circle and is a god-level figure. He used to work in a well-known company in Shenzhen, but he encountered some special circumstances last year. , I quit my job and started traveling around the world.”

"What special situation?"

"He's divorced." Chen Jieyu answered.

"Is it so painful to get divorced? You haven't had enough time to relax after a year. You are devoted to a good man?" he asked.

"Well, his situation is a bit special." Chen Jieyu hesitated to speak.

"You keep secrets from me, right?" Cheng Zhu pretended to be unhappy: "I'm not a big talker."

Chen Jieyu sighed and said, "The two children he and his ex-wife have are not his."

Cheng Zhu didn't expect this to be the case. After a while, he asked curiously: "Are the two children twins? Or were they born at different stages?"

Chen Jieyu's answer is very exciting: "They are not twins. The older one is three years older than the younger one."

At this moment, Cheng Zhu felt a little numb for no reason.

Suddenly I understood why this man still couldn’t calm down after traveling around the world for a year.

He had heard a saying before that when looking for a husband, he should look for someone who studies computer science, and he should look for us programmers.

After all, who doesn’t like a husband who makes a lot of money, talks little, and dies young?

Moreover, I work overtime all year round and have no time to go home, so the air is free.

But the atmosphere in this old man’s home is a bit too free!

After the two briefly chatted about this matter, Chen Jieyu, who had been nibbling on the cake, finally finished it.

She looked at the remaining birthday cake on the table, thinking it was a waste, and hesitated whether to ice it and take it back tomorrow.

Just as she was thinking, wwzhaoshyan． ｃo Cheng Zhu suddenly rubbed the cream with his fingers, and then applied a little on her face.

Chen Jieyu looked calm, not frightened, and had no intention of fighting back.

"Eh? Why are you so boring?" Cheng Zhu was speechless.

"I'm not a child anymore. I'm already 27 years old." Chen Jieyu said.

"I see, you like the way adults play, right?" Cheng Zhu smiled, slowly stretched out his fingers, and smeared a thick layer of cream on his hands again.

Chen Jieyu looked at him, and this time she inexplicably wanted to avoid it.

Cheng Zhu first smeared a little on her lower jaw line, then the pink neck, then the collarbone, and then all the way down.

Look, we adults use cakes like this.

Chen Jieyu stood up and wanted to escape, but he held her down, then blocked her lips, and began to smear with his right hand. MC
