The other party first wished him a happy birthday, and then said with a smile that he had booked the entire top floor of the Royal Hotel, including the presidential suite and banquet hall, to hold a birthday party for him.

Xu Xizhou went directly to the hotel after class. When reached the top floor, just opened the door of the banquet hall when heard the sound of ribbons banging.

"Happy birthday, Xiaozhou!"

Everyone from the Ren family came, and Shu Yue stood at the front, pushing a cart with a three-tier birthday cake in her hand, and looked at him tenderly. Xu Xizhou looked back and found that both Wang Miao and Yuan Mu were here, and he didn't know how Shu Yue invited them.

"Thank you, it's too much trouble for you!"

Xu Xizhou has never had such a lively birthday. He was surrounded by a group of people, arguing for him to blow out a candle and make a wish. After making the wish, he received a lot of gifts, piled up in the corner of the room, almost as high as a hill, and it took two hours just to open the gifts.

After a sumptuous dinner, Wang Miao and Yuan Mu argued and took him to sing in the suite.

Halfway through, Ren Duo also joined in. Wang Miao has always been a fan of Ren Duo. After knowing that Ren Duo was Xu Xizhou's cousin, she was so excited that she chased after Ren Duo to sign for him.

A group of people made trouble late into the night, and a few elders went to bed first. Xu Xizhou washed the cake on his face and changed into clean clothes. Instead of staying in the hotel to sleep, he went back to his apartment.

Today is a perfect day, the only fly in the ointment is that Zhuang Jingchun didn't come.

Thinking of this, Xu Xizhou felt a dull pain in a place in his chest. After getting out of the taxi, he turned on his mobile phone, flipped to the WeChat call with Zhuang Jingchun, tried to send a message to the other party several times, but held back.

Did this guy forget his birthday? But he made it very clear last time that his birthday is next Wednesday!

It's too embarrassing to have to take the initiative to remind him when he has a birthday.

Xu Xizhou gritted his teeth, put the phone back in his pocket, and wrapped his down jacket tightly. Just when he walked to the street lamp near the apartment, he didn't know what to see, and he stopped.

On the bench under the tall tree, a tall and slender man in a black trench coat was sitting quietly.

In an instant, Xu Xizhou's heart beat wildly, and he unconsciously accelerated his pace.

Hearing the footsteps, the man turned his head and looked at Xu Xizhou with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" The two of them spoke almost simultaneously.

Xu Xizhou couldn't wait, and walked up to him quickly, unable to hold back the surprise in his heart.

"Didn't you say the company is busy? How come you are in London?"

He blinked and suddenly noticed that there was a cardboard box beside Zhuang Jingchun.

"What is this?" he asked knowingly.

"A birthday cake for you." Zhuang Jingchun opened the carton. It was a very small fruit cake. It looked like it was handmade.

"Aunt Jiang did this, right?" Xu Xizhou asked curiously.

Zhuang Jingchun's eyes crossed a trace, lowered her eyes, and said uncomfortably, "Well, she... It's the first time she made a birthday cake, maybe she didn't do it very well."

"I like it very much. It looks delicious. The cake I just ate at the hotel was so greasy, I didn't even eat a few bites. It was all used for the cream fight."

Xu Xizhou smiled and held up the cake, and then found a candle from the box next to it and put it on it.

"Is there a lighter?"

Zhuang Jingchun took out a lighter from his coat pocket and gave it to him.

When Xu Xizhou lit the candle, he took the cake and held it carefully.

"In fact, I already made a wish today, but if I make it again, God should hear it."

Xu Xizhou blinked, he closed his eyes, put his hands together, meditated something in his heart, then opened his eyes, and blew out the candle in one breath.

"Wait for me, I'll go buy something."

Xu Xizhou put the cake on the bench, turned and ran to the nearby convenience store.

When came back, found a plastic bag with two dozen beers in it.

Chapter 051

In early November, the weather in London was wet and cold. Xu Xizhou put the beer on the table, closed the window, and turned on the air conditioner.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came, how long have you been sitting below?"

Xu Xizhou opened a can of beer and handed it to Zhuang Jingchun.

"It didn't take long, just a while."

"Don't you have a spare key? Why don't you use a key?" Xu Xizhou held the beer can, strangely puzzled.

Zhuang Jingchun took a sip of the cold wine and chuckled, with a hint of self-deprecation in her tone.

"I only remembered when I got on the plane and forgot to take the key."

"Just your memory, or the company's president?" Xu Xizhou laughed at him.

When the room was a little warmer, he put down the beer and opened the carton of fruit cakes on the table.

"Come on, one and a half." He took a fork to Zhuang Jingchun.

"Aren't you going to cut first?"

Xu Xizhou forked a strawberry from the top of the cake and put it into his mouth, "It's just so big, it'll be eaten in a few bites, what can I cut?"

Seeing Zhuang Jingchun sitting still, he urged him, "Eat it quickly, the fruit will go bad when the temperature rises."

Zhuang Jingchun hummed, lowered her long eyelashes, held a fork in her knuckled hand, dug a small piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

The cake is so big that their fingers inevitably touch each other. Looking at Zhuang Jingchun's slender and fair fingers, Xu Xizhou was inexplicably nervous. While eating the cake, he unknowingly drank two cans of beer.

Taking advantage of the wine, he told Zhuang Jingchun about the birthday party in the hotel today, saying that everyone from the Ren family was here, and it was very lively. He complained that Wang Miao was like a crazy illegitimate fan, chasing after Ren Duo. He also said that he had received so many gifts that they were piled up to the height of a hill, and they couldn't even be taken apart.

As soon as he was excited, the speed of his speech involuntarily increased, and his black eyes were shining. In addition to drinking, his cheeks were flushed, and there was a hint of stupidity in his expression.
