Chapter 34

Chapter 34. Birthday (one more)

A few hours later, the phone rang again, and the caller's note was "Zhou Zhe".

Qiao Li hesitated for a while, but picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Hey?"

Zhou Zhe's voice was a little anxious: "Qiao Li? What's the matter? I was seeing a client just now, and now I turn on the phone and find that your mother called me more than a dozen times, but she didn't answer when I called."

Qiao Li sighed in her heart and said calmly, "I told her that we broke up."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

"Sorry, I'll let her not bother you," she said wearily.

Zhou Zhe hesitated, his voice was a bit bitter: "There is no need to apologize." He walked to a quiet place aside, "You sound tired and busy with work?"

This kind of dialogue seems to have gone back to the years when the two talents entered the society and worked hard. Qiao Li was not quite used to it, and only responded briefly: "Yes."

Zhou Zhe also realized that the relationship between the two was not what it used to be, and he embarrassedly changed the subject: "Yes, I'm very busy at the end of the year." He tried to joke to ease the embarrassment, "You shouldn't choose this time to tell her that this is not asking for it. trouble?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, walked quickly to the table and flipped through the calendar, slightly surprised: "Today is your birthday?"

"Yes."

In fact, they don't care about birthdays either. Both of them haven't had their birthdays for several years. After all, birthdays are still full of work and burdens, and they can no longer find the ritual feeling of longing for cakes in childhood.

But being scolded on this day is still worthy of sympathy. Zhou Zhe comforted: "It's okay, you can do your job. I'll tell your mother well, don't worry."

Qiao Li did not refuse: "Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, she went back to work in the office. She was busy until 9 o'clock in the evening and finally finished all the finishing work. Only then did Qiao Li feel that she had come back. She stretched and felt like a little girl. Can't wait to jump and scream.

It's a pity that this vitality has not lasted for a minute before being drowned out by the pouring rain.

There was no umbrella in the office, and a section of the road to the parking garage made her drenched in soup. The car drove back to the downstairs of the apartment, and she was short-circuited when she got out of the car.

After taking a hot shower and leaving the bathroom, she found that her father had called her.

I came to apologize to her mother.

"Your mother is also in menopause. She has always been a grumpy, knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person. Please forgive me. We all know that it is not easy for you to work hard in Z City, and you have always been excellent. You never let us worry about it, but we also Worry, you are always a girl, and you always have to worry about your love and marriage."

That's it, it's always been that way.

She wiped her hair and said, "Dad, I can take care of myself,"

"Hey, I know." He sighed, "We live in a different era than you, and we don't understand what young people think. Just your good friend Yu Yan, who got divorced and went to the big city, her parents You always have to listen to relatives and colleagues chatting, and worry to the death when you see stories of single women working hard in big cities, why not your mother?"

She can only reassure: "You just think too much, I can do it alone."

Her father was still thinking: "It was also last night that the family had dinner. Your third aunt was drunk and didn't keep her mouth shut. If you say that you and Zhou Zhe have been together for seven years, you haven't made any excuses. Maybe you just want to play with you. , when you are not young, you will be thrown off. Your mother was so angry that she was pulling her hair. She also cared about you, but in a too extreme way. "

Qiao Li didn't know how to answer, and said softly, "Dad, I'm very tired today and want to sleep."

"Eh, eh, then, go to rest, parents know that you are the best, you have never let us down, don't be angry. Okay, okay, go to sleep, Dad is dead. ."

When the call ended, Qiao Li threw the phone on the sofa and covered her eyes.

After a few seconds of rest, got up and blew hair.

Just after blowing head, heard the phone ring again. She is really about to collapse, why are so many people looking for her today?

He picked up his phone and saw that it was Feng Yi.

As soon as it was connected, the other end of the phone couldn't wait to start talking: "Hello, Ms. Qiao, the gift your boyfriend gave you has arrived at the door, please open the door and sign for it."

Qiao Li was completely stunned. She walked to the door and opened the cat's eyes, but she didn't see anything.

She said, "No one is at the door."

"Oh, I told the courier to leave the door and leave. How dangerous it is for you to sign for the courier at home alone."

Qiao Li frowned suspiciously, can the courier not sign for it?

She opened the door, but saw nothing, and when she was about to close the door, a figure jumped down the stairs.

"Qiangqiang! Presents appear!"

Feng Yi jumped down wearing a large raincoat, and the backpack on his back held up the raincoat. He looked like a tortoise prime minister, with one sleeve still open, and the sleeve of the raincoat was drooping, which looked extremely funny.

With this silly look, he twirled round and round, and the unused sleeve flew up: "Ms. Qiao, are you satisfied with me as a birthday present for you?"
