    March 16th is the banquet for my dad¡¯s 60th birthday.

    It is a local custom. When a person turns sixty, a birthday party is held on the second day of the birthday. There is a very unpleasant saying about this custom, which is called "deceiving the King of Hell". It is said that the King of Hell seduces people's souls based on round numbers.  Come on, as long as the old man avoids his birthday, he will be safe and healthy this year.

    When I explained this custom to Li Zhurong, he frowned and disapproved of it. He just had to write "Feudal superstition is dross" on his face.

    "However, despite being disdainful, he did not express any objection. From the gift money to the number of banquets, he said nothing. Until the morning of March 16th, my mother brought two sets of formal attires like engagements for Shen Wanyi and I to change into.  Li Zhurong's face just "swished" and darkened.

    Shen Wanyi and I were both startled by my mother's hand. Shen Wanyi subconsciously moved a step to the side, wanting to distance herself from the relationship with me.

    Li Zhurong¡¯s face looked ugly.

    I shook his hand to express comfort, reached out and grabbed my mother's arm, led her into my father's study, and closed the door.

    "Mom, what do you mean?" I frowned and hurriedly said: "Shen Wanyi and I have canceled our engagement, why are you doing this?"

    My mother didn't listen to what I said at all, and just kept picking out the fluff on her suit jacket: "I don't care about your love affairs. I only know that today is your dad's birthday. If you talk to me in front of others,  That man is in a couple. Do you want me and your dad to be two old faces? Do you really want to make your dad angry? "

    I was speechless after being scolded by her. Thinking about the debt I had owed to my two elders over the years, I really couldn't disobey her at this time.

    So, all I could do was try to persuade Li Zhurong-

    Li Zhurong is easy to find. There is no word "escape" in his dictionary, so no matter how angry he is, he will not slam the door and leave.

    He was standing on the balcony, his back to us, and he was smoking.

    He was wearing the navy blue suit that Yuan Hai rushed over yesterday. I suddenly remembered that the day I came back, I took him to the rooftop. He thought my house was coming soon, so he stood in the corridor, smiling at me with his eyes bent, letting him  I helped him fix his hair.

    When he stood at the door of my house with me and knocked on the door, his whole body was tense. I have never seen him look so nervous

    I didn¡¯t dare to think about it anymore, so I quickly walked a few steps and stood next to him.

    He was smoking Lucky Strike, and the unassuming, slender white cigarette was in his hand, which was completely worthy of its expensive price.

    "Give me a cigarette." I said to him.

    I have always disliked the cigarettes he smoked. They were too choking and gave me a sore throat.  But he has been smoking this kind of cigarette for so many years. In his words, cigarettes are originally used to relieve fatigue, so naturally the stronger the better.

    ¡°Neither of us are fools, and he is a man who has come out of the scheming shopping mall. There are some things that I won¡¯t say and neither will he, but we both know in our hearts that I have already made a choice.

    I stood on the balcony and looked down. The sky in the early morning was not completely bright yet.  His car is parked under the shade of a tree downstairs. Yuan Hai is waiting for us inside. Li Zhurong booked a seat at Huayue Building two days ago. Yuan Hai has been waiting here since 6 a.m. today, preparing to pick us up.  Huayue Tower.

    After smoking a cigarette, I felt like I had swallowed coptis, and there was a bitterness in my throat.

    The road we take has never been a smooth road. The eyes of others, the face of our parents, and rumors are actually just four simple words: people's words are scary.

    I don¡¯t want to persuade him, and I can¡¯t.  He is a person who has his own ideas about everything and never changes his position because of other people's opinions.  I know that as long as I stand here, frowning, and smoking a cigarette, even if I say nothing, he will understand what I am embarrassed about.

    I am wrong about this matter. I can't reason with him. I can only be emotional and let him see my embarrassment.  Lin Youqi said that he will not let things get out of hand, and I believe he will give in.

    There was a rustling sound behind me. It was my mother in the living room, deliberately packing things to make a noise. I knew she was urging me: guests will be coming soon, and I can¡¯t let those nosy relatives see that I have one at home."  The redundant ¡°men are here, they must be able to guess it.

    I held his hand. He had been standing on the balcony for too long, and his fingers were cold.

    I heard my own voice, dull and deep.

    "Xiaozhe, I'm sorry for you"

    "Teacher, I have nothing to apologize for,"One day, I have to worry about my parents' face and their feelings.

    I am a hopeless coward-

    When we arrived at Huayue Building, the relatives got off the car one by one. I was the last one and watched the car drive away.

    Shen Wanyi asked the doorman to park the car, and walked out wearing a rose gray dress.  He stood next to me, covered his brows with his hands, looked in the direction of the car for a while, and said with a smile: "No, he left obediently? What spell did you cast?"

    I was not in the mood to joke with her, so I turned around and walked inside.

    She chased after me and laughed: "This guy is not as bad as I thought."-

    While eating, a relative asked me with a smile: "Who was that person in the car just now? He looked like a foreigner, and his face was quite scary."

    Shen Wanyi smiled and joked: "You have to ask Xu Xu. Maybe Xu Xu didn't pay the fare and he was unhappy"

    So everyone at the banquet laughed, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    Will make up for it tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
