Chapter 24
"No problem," Yu Chen nodded, "of course no problem."
Not to mention that his parents have always supported his relationship with Xie Yi, even if his parents didn't support him, they wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Maybe I will stay out later." Xie Yi added.
"Huh?" Yu Chen was a little surprised, "Will it be very late?"
"Well, I want to spend a new year together." Xie Yi said.
Xie Yi's birthday is the last day of the year-end, after 12 o'clock in the evening, it will be the next year.
What a special day.
Yu Chen felt that this was quite normal. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed: "No problem, I've come out, and I will definitely accompany you after the New Year before going back."
Xie Yi was very happy and smiled.
As soon as Yu Chen got home, he told his parents that he was going to attend Xie Yi's birthday party tomorrow night.
Dad naturally didn't object, he was just a little surprised: "Xie Yi's birthday is tomorrow? I just talked to Mr. Xie on the phone today. He is still in Haibin City on a business trip and can't come back. Could it be that Mr. Xie isn't with you on Xie Yi's birthday?"
"I don't know." Yu Chen was at a loss.
Dad knew more about Xie Yi's family than he did.
But Yu Chen didn't want to use his father's relationship to pry into Xie Yi's secret, and it was Xie Yi's family, which had nothing to do with him directly.
It doesn't matter that Xie Yi doesn't have his father to accompany him on his birthday, as long as he can accompany Xie Yi.
Yu Chen didn't tell his parents that he would come back after the new year, and his parents didn't ask.
It seems that knowing that I am going to find Xie Yi, my parents are completely at ease.
This was probably the first time in the past few years that I asked to go out alone at night, and my parents didn't object.
As soon as Yu Chen walked out of the house, he received a call from Xie Yi.
Xie Yi seemed to have planted eyeliner in his home.
"Have you gone out?" Xie Yi asked him.
"I just went out, and I'm going to get my bicycle." Yu Chen felt that this winter night was a little cold, and he could see the white gas coming out when he spoke.
"You don't need to take a bicycle, you can see me when you step out of the community." Xie Yi said.
"You asked fourth uncle to drive here? This is too much trouble for him." Yu Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't go to pick up his bicycle, and walked out while making a phone call.
"Fourth uncle didn't come, I came by myself." Xie Yi said on the phone.
"How did you come here..."
The scene of Xie Yi riding his bicycle to pick him up appeared in Yu Chen's mind.
It turned out to be quite handsome.
Probably because of Xie Yi's handsome face, even if Xie Yi kicked three rounds, he would still be handsome.
Yu Chen was amused by his own association and laughed a few times, and quickly ran out of the community.
But what Xie Yi was riding—no, what he was riding was a heavy locomotive.
The black body was a little shiny in the night, and the wind in the winter night rolled the leaves and hovered around the car, giving Xie Yi, who was leaning on the locomotive, a somewhat gray and cool feeling of being desperate.
Yu Chen was not very good at describing, so he felt that Xie Yi's appearance was enough to be compared to him.
"When did you have such a car?" Yu Chen touched the seat cushion of the car in amazement.
"Borrowed from Cen Wei." Xie Yi said.
Yu Chen raised his eyes suspiciously, and saw Xie Yi put the helmet on his head.
"Cen Wei lent you the car, so what does he drive?" Yu Chen supported the helmet on his head with his hands, and raised the volume a little, "Oh, has he gone to the restaurant yet?"
"He's staying at home." Xie Yi said.
Yu Chen still didn't understand, so he sat behind Xie Yi under Xie Yi's gesture.
Xie Yi didn't wear a helmet, obviously the only helmet in this car had already been given to him, Xie Yi started the car before Yu Chen had time to take off the helmet.
The shadows of the two of them were swept together by the wind on the galloping road.
Xie Yi drove the car near Tongning Lake, locked the car, and took Yu Chen to a restaurant by the lake.
Yu Chen looked around curiously. When he went up to the third floor of the hotel, he could see a line of light falling from the center of the lake through the glass window, like a candle flame connected to a string, very beautiful.
Yu Chen looked at it for a while, and finally sat down reluctantly, and found that he and Xie Yi were still the only two people in the small private room.
"What about the others?" he asked curiously.
"What other people?" Xie Yi handed him a cup of tea, and asked indifferently.
"Your other good friends, didn't you call out to have a meal together?" Yu Chen said.
"No." Xie Yi said with downcast eyes.
Yu Chen remembered that his father said yesterday that Xie Yi's father had gone to another place, maybe Xie Yi had this birthday and he was the only one to accompany him.
He hurriedly changed the subject: "Xie Yi, after today you will be one year older."
Xie Yi looked at him, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
"Is it your 16th birthday?" Yu Chen blinked.
Xie Yi hummed.
Yu Chen suddenly moved the chair up, sat down next to Xie Yi, leaned against Xie Yi, tilted his head and smiled and said, "Brother."
"What?" Xie Yi was a little surprised.
"My birthday is June [-]th." Yu Chen pointed to his nose, "I'm half a year older than you."
"It's not obvious." Xie Yi looked him up and down.
"What do you mean you can't see it!" Yu Chen suddenly wanted to blow his hair.
"You look cuter." Xie Yi made amends.
Yu Chen suddenly blushed.
The waiter opened the door and came in to order, interrupting the chat between the two of them.
Xie Yi ordered a roasted squab, Wensi tofu soup, steamed cod, and passed the menu to Yu Chen, who ordered fried rice.
Xie Yi raised his eyebrows.
"I like fried rice very much, but my family doesn't like to make it, and I won't be allowed to eat it." Yu Chen whispered.
"This is easy," Xie Yi said, "It's easy to eat, I'll order it for you."
Xie Yi said and handed the menu back to the waiter.
While waiting for the food to be served, Xie Yi took out a toffee from his pocket, removed the wrapper and put it in Yu Chen's mouth.
Yu Chen was in a good mood all night, biting the toffee and squinting his eyes and smiling.
"By the way, this is the birthday present my mother asked me to give you." Yu Chen suddenly remembered, turned around and took out a bag of biscuits from the small bag he brought out, and said, "Happy birthday."
"My mother baked it herself. It tastes good. Because it's your birthday, I baked a bag of butter biscuits in the shape of a lamb."
Xie Yi said thank you, took it over and opened the bag to have a look, then smiled and said: "This lamb biscuit is also very suitable for you."
"Yeah, we're the same age," Yu Chen said with a smile, with a hint of apology on his face, "I haven't prepared my gift yet, and today my mother always drags me to sit in the living room, and I don't have a chance to slip into the study draw."
Yu Chen felt that his creativity was lacklustre, and he couldn't think of anything else he could do besides painting.
"Didn't I tell you that as long as you can come, you don't need to bring gifts." Xie Yi said.
"Then how can I do it?" Yu Chen scratched his head, "Actually, it's not good if the birthday present is delayed, why don't we go shopping for a while, and I'll buy it for you if you like it."
"I like it?" Xie Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Yes."
Yu Chen and Xie Yi finished their meal, walked out of the restaurant along the stairs, and went for a walk by the lake.
"This is the second time I have come to Tongning Lake with you, Xie Yi." Yu Chen said as he walked.
"Do you remember the last time?" Xie Yi asked him.
"Of course I remember. In fact, I don't go out with people very much. Xu Ge is very homely. I spend most of the time with him in the house to shoot videos or something. When playing games, he only likes to play computer games, stand-alone ones. .” Yu Chen said.
Xie Yi thought for a while, then asked, "What games do you like to play?"
"Arcade machines, coin-operated ones, play in the game hall, a bunch of people are watching behind you, and some people are cheering for you." Yu Chen is gearing up.
"Then let's go play." Xie Yi said.
They came to the game hall in the city center. On this New Year's Eve, the game hall was full of children who came out for the New Year's Eve, and the noise was louder than the music of the machine.
Xie Yi and Yu Chen chose a basketball machine.
The reason was that Yu Chen didn't want to leave as soon as he saw the basketball machine, and remembered that he had made an appointment with Xie Yi for a ball game.
Xie Yi stood in front of the machine with a basketball in his hand, only slightly rolled up his sleeves, his face still had the usual indifference, which really didn't suit this kind of passionate game.
Yu Chen turned to look at him, said with a smile: "Xie Yi, if I win, you have to call me brother."
"Is this a bet?" Xie Yi asked back.
"Yes, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat." Yu Chen nodded.
Xie Yi said, "Okay."
After one round, Yu Chen's hands were sore, and he scored 650 points, which was already his highest record.
Looking back, Xie Yi was only 2 points away from 700.
Yu Chen opened his eyes wide, even if his hands were so sore that he couldn't lift them up, he wanted to save his face: "Two wins in three games!"
Xie Yi still nodded flatly.
Xie Yi won the second round again.
The third round is automatically cancelled.
Yu Chen rubbed his wrists and walked out of the game hall with Xie Yi, a little unbelievable: "My pitching sight is not bad, I haven't seen anyone better than me in this game hall, Xie Yi, you are so strong."
Xie Yi bought two bottles of water in the shop next door, handed him one, and smiled when he unscrewed the bottle cap: "Thank you."
"It's a pity, I never beat you." Yu Chen raised his head and took a sip of water.
When putting down the bottle, Yu Chen found that Xie Yi was still looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Yu Chen wiped his lips with the back of his hand.
Xie Yi lowered his head slightly, looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "I lost, call me brother."
