Chapter 592 Zhu Sheng: This is mine
At around six o'clock in the evening, Yuan Wanqing and Lin Xiuhong brought out a table full of sumptuous dishes and called everyone to come and eat.

The three men who were smoking and chatting on the balcony immediately put out their cigarettes and came in from outside.

Ying Chanxi and others came forward to help and put the dishes and chopsticks in place.

The dining table was just full of ten people from three families. After spending so much time together, everyone had become so familiar with each other that there was no need to exchange pleasantries. They just picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Ying Chanxi picked up a piece of cola chicken wing for himself, and then picked up another piece for Li Luo.

Seeing this, Yan Zhusheng also stretched out his bowl and gestured to Ying Chanxi.

Ying Chanxi rolled his eyes at his sister and gave her a look that said "You have hands, too", but in the end he still reached out his chopsticks and picked up a piece for her.

With the attitude of not favoring one over the other, Ying Chanxi picked up another piece of chicken wing for Xu Youyu, and then said: "Aunt Yuan made it herself, it's delicious, senior sister, you try it."

Xu Youyu looked down at the chicken wings in the bowl, then glanced at Ying Chanxi, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It seems that Xixi is not so averse to the relationship between her uncle and Aunt Yuan anymore.

Xu Youyu took a bite of the cola chicken wings in the bowl, praised them, and felt a little relieved.

"Come on, come on." Li Guohong was the first to raise his glass to liven up the atmosphere, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to my good brother, Ying Zhicheng, on his marriage to our big star Yuan Wanqing!"

Ying Zhicheng looked at him celebrating happily, laughed and shook his head, then raised his glass.

At this time, Yuan Wanqing also raised the wine glass in front of her and said softly: "Zhicheng and I just simply got the marriage certificate. Today we are gathered together not only for this, but also for our Xixi. Happy birthday."

"Yes." Ying Chanxi stood up, raised the glass filled with juice in his arms, and gently clinked it with Yuan Wanqing, "Thank you, Aunt Yuan."

At this time, others also picked up their glasses and clinked them to celebrate.

"So you're not planning to hold a banquet or something?" Cui Suling asked curiously.

"Forget it." Yuan Wanqing shook her head and smiled gently, "On the one hand, my current identity is quite sensitive. On the other hand, we are both adults now. I don't really care about weddings. Let's not be extravagant."

Ying Zhicheng originally wanted to say something, but after hearing what Yuan Wanqing said, he stopped talking.

Everyone was having a great time while enjoying dinner.

When dinner was almost over, Yuan Wanqing took the initiative to get up and clear the table.

Lin Xiuhong and Cui Suling also helped out, leaving a large clean space on the dining table.

Seeing this, Li Luo immediately stood up, took out the birthday cake he had brought back from the kitchen refrigerator, placed it in the center of the dining table, and opened the outer packaging.

Carefully inserting the number candles "1" and "8" on the cake, Li Luo turned his head to look at Ying Chanxi, and then looked at Ying Zhicheng: "Uncle Ying, I don't have a lighter, can you light one?"

"Okay." Ying Zhicheng nodded in agreement, walked closer to the dining table, and took out his lighter from his pocket.

But he didn't light the candle immediately. Looking at the candle in front of him that represented "18 years old", he was filled with emotion for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, my daughter is about to become an adult...

Time flies so fast.

Ying Zhicheng glanced at Yuan Wanqing, then looked down at the candle, recalling Yan Ruqing's face in his mind.

"I hope you're watching too."

Ying Zhicheng whispered softly and finally lit the candle.

Yan Zhusheng was waiting early at the button on the wall in the living room. As soon as Ying Zhicheng lit it, she turned off all the lights in the living room.

The room suddenly became dim, with only two candles still burning silently.

The firelight reflected on everyone's faces.

Li Luo had already picked up the guitar at this time, but instead of playing it, he handed it to Yuan Wanqing.

Yuan Wanqing was slightly stunned, then reacted, smiled at Li Luo, and then skillfully held the guitar in her arms, gently strumming the strings, and the melody in her mouth flowed like a stream -

"Happy birthday to you~"

"Happy birthday to you~"

Li Luo was the first to clap his hands to the rhythm.

Others followed suit.

Ying Chanxi stood in front of the cake, facing the candlelight, with Yuan Wanqing's soft singing in his ears and a reassuring atmosphere around him.

She clasped her fingers together, pursed her lips, closed her eyes silently, and thought in her heart.

Finally, the singing ended.

Ying Chanxi slowly opened his eyes, moved closer to the birthday cake, and blew hard.

The candles went out and the lights in the living room came on again.

In addition to the birthday cake, there were also several gift boxes on the table.

"Happy birthday." Li Luo said with a smile, "Put away the presents for now, you can open them yourself tonight, and eat the cake first."

"Yeah." Ying Chanxi nodded slightly, picked up the plastic knife next to him, and gave everyone a piece of cake.

Everyone gathered around the sofa, and those who couldn't sit found a seat around the desk.

It just so happened that Lin Xiuhong installed a karaoke function on the TV at home a while ago, so everyone ordered songs in the living room while eating cake.

But Xu Youyu still had to update in the evening, so after singing and eating the cake, he came to Ying Chanxi and whispered to her: "I still have to update in the evening, I have to go write first."

"Yeah." Ying Chanxi nodded, "I know, you go ahead, senior."

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet." Xu Youyu didn't know what he was thinking, and he continued with a smile, "Go get the gift I gave you and come with me to the house to open it."

"Ah?" Ying Chanxi was stunned for a moment, and then a look of suspicion appeared on his face, "Senior sister, you didn't buy something weird again?"

"What do you mean by again?" Xu Youyu said dissatisfiedly, "When did I ever buy you something weird?"

"The Doraemon underwear from last time." Ying Chanxi said expressionlessly.

"Then I see that you quite like wearing it?" Xu Youyu teased with a smile.

Isn’t that because Li Luo also wears Doraemon’s underwear?
Otherwise, who would wear it?

Ying Chanxi muttered to himself but certainly would not say it out loud.

As the two of them were talking, Ying Chanxi still got up and followed Xu Youyu. After taking the gift box she gave him, he came to Xu Youyu's room.

"So what did you give this time?" Ying Chanxi sat in front of Xu Youyu's desk, looking at the gift box in front of him with vigilance, always feeling that Xu Youyu had bad intentions.

"Don't worry, it's very practical." Xu Youyu patted his chest and assured, "You'll know if you open it and take a look."

Ying Chanxi reached out his hand half-doubtfully, carefully unwrapped the gift box, and slowly opened the box.

The next second, a small, unfamiliar box appeared before her eyes.

She blinked, not recognizing what it was. She looked at the size of the box and roughly guessed, "Is this facial cleanser? Or hand cream? Or sunscreen?"

"Ahem..." Xu Youyu felt a little embarrassed when she asked him this, "Neither."

"What is that?" Ying Chanxi's expression became even more confused.

"You, you can open it and take a look. You will definitely recognize it after you open it."

Hearing Xu Youyu say this, Ying Chanxi felt it was getting weirder, but he still took out a box, opened the outer plastic packaging, opened the box, and took a look inside.

It turned out that there was indeed no facial cleanser or something like that inside, but instead bags of small square bags, about the size of a quarter of a palm.

Ying Chanxi had never seen this thing before, and he reached out to take it out out of curiosity, only to find that the bags were still connected, but could be torn in the middle.

"This is……"

Ying Chanxi found some words on the bag, so he took a closer look.

The next second, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and her fingers seemed to be electrocuted, and she stuffed the thing back in one swish!
"Senior sister!" Ying Chanxi stood up from his seat and stepped back repeatedly until he stopped against the wall. He could hardly speak clearly.

"You, you...this, this...why did you buy this kind of thing!"

When Xu Youyu saw Ying Chanxi's cute reaction, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

She picked up the big box of treasures and stuffed it into Ying Chanxi's arms: "I told you it's a birthday present for you, don't run away."

"I, I... I don't think it's very practical for me..." Ying Chanxi said with resistance on his face, his face completely blushing with embarrassment.

"Why is it impractical?" Xu Youyu pretended not to understand, then suddenly realized, "Does Xixi not plan to use this in the future?"

"That's not what I meant!" Ying Chanxi shook his head quickly, but immediately added, "I meant... this... that... Senior Sister, you are too crazy... How can you buy such a thing..."

"You've already bought it, so just take it." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "It will definitely be useful in the future."

"Stop talking..." Ying Chanxi's ears turned red and limp. She quickly interrupted Xu Youyu and turned around to run out of her bedroom.

After arriving in the corridor, Ying Chanxi subconsciously walked towards the living room.

But when he thought of what he was holding in his arms, he quickly changed direction and walked towards his bedroom.

After hiding this dangerous thing deep in her drawer, Ying Chanxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After making sure that no one else would find it, she returned to the living room.

……

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the elders prepared to say goodbye and leave.

But before leaving, Cui Suling thought about it and decided to go to Xu Youyu's bedroom.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Youyu, who was typing, turned her head in confusion and saw her mother sitting beside the bed, waving at her.

"What's wrong?" Xu Youyu looked confused, and stood up and sat down next to Cui Suling, "You look so serious."

"How can I be serious? I am telling you something seriously."

"What could be the matter?" Xu Youyu asked curiously. Could it be that the gift given to Xixi was seen by his mother?

Probably not...

But just when Xu Youyu was thinking this, Cui Suling reached out, took Xu Youyu's hand and placed it in her palm, patted it gently a few times, and said earnestly:

"You're grown up now, and there are some things I still need to tell you."

"Just tell me straight." Xu Youyu said helplessly, "Could it be that you are actually the daughter of a certain group, but you eloped to marry dad, and now the chairman of the group has passed away, so you are the only heir?"

"You've written too many novels, haven't you?" Cui Suling looked at her daughter speechlessly, "You keep talking nonsense all day long."

"Then hurry up and tell me." Xu Youyu urged, "I still need to write."

"I was just talking about this! You interrupted me all of a sudden." Cui Suling said unhappily, "The atmosphere that we worked so hard to create is gone."

"Hey, hurry up and tell me, I won't interrupt you."

"Then don't talk." Cui Suling said angrily.

Xu Youyu finally calmed down.

Cui Suling also took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before continuing with the previous topic:

"You are not young anymore..."

"I'm still young..." Xu Youyu muttered softly.

But after being glared at by Cui Suling, Xu Youyu quickly fell silent, covered his mouth with his other hand, and motioned his mother to continue.

Cui Suling retracted her glare and finally continued, "When a girl reaches this age and has a partner, she will more or less be exposed to that kind of thing."

"Before that, you were still in high school and didn't have a relationship, so your parents didn't talk much to you about this."

"But after reading the novel you wrote before, your father and I actually know about it. You know it quite well in private."

Hearing this, Akina Mountain's driving god Xu Youyu naturally understood what his mother was saying.

But Xu Youyu, who usually drives as a normal thing, still feels embarrassed when talking about this kind of thing with his mother.

In particular, Cui Suling also talked about the last book she wrote!
Xu Youyu subconsciously clenched his fists, feeling that his socially dead soul was reviving.

But the next second, Xu Youyu felt her palm turn cold and found that Cui Suling had stuffed something into her hand.

Looking down, Xu Youyu was suddenly shocked.

"Take this thing and carry it with you from now on." Cui Suling coughed, obviously a little embarrassed. "I see that you have written about it clearly in your novel, so you should know how to use it. I won't teach you."

"If you're with a boy you like in the future... well... remember to use it."

"This is the bottom line, we cannot compromise."

Xu Youyu looked down at the thing in her hand, and heard her mother's earnest teachings in her ears. She felt her ears burning and her heart was pounding.

oops~
Mom, can you please stop talking?
How can you give me just one?
I bought a whole box for Xixi, okay?

Xu Youyu's cheeks turned red, and he secretly complained in his heart.

After Cui Suling finished speaking, she gave Xu Youyu a few more instructions, patted his hand, and left.

"Isn't mom suspicious?" Xu Youyu sent Cui Suling away, holding the small square in his hand, and couldn't help muttering, "But I haven't made a move yet."

Having said that, Xu Youyu decided to put this thing away.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't know where to put it, so I just stuffed it into my pajamas pocket, thinking that I would tear it open and study it while taking a shower later.

Although she had written about this thing in her novel, she had never actually seen it and had no idea what it was like inside.

Thinking of this, Xu Youyu immersed himself in typing again, so much so that he even forgot there was such a thing in his pajama pocket.

……

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Xu Youyu finished typing and took a shower, then came to Li Luo's bedroom door in his pajamas.

Without even knocking on the door, she pushed it open and walked in, and saw her two good sisters lying on the bed.

Li Luo was still sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard.

Now he not only has to maintain and update the manuscripts of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", but also has to prepare for the new book. He is indeed busier than before.

Seeing Xu Youyu coming in after taking a shower, Li Luo finished his typing work for the night, stretched out in his seat, and prepared to go to bed.

As a result, just when Li Luo lay on the bed and hugged the sisters, his right hand was still dishonestly reaching into Sister You Yu's arms.

It happened that Ying Chanxi changed her position slightly in his arms, and Li Luo's hand slipped out of Xu Youyu's arms, and touched something that seemed to have a plastic texture on the bed.

Puzzled, he reached out his hand and pulled it out of the quilt. In the dimly lit room, Li Luo looked at it carefully and asked curiously, "What is this? Who of you dropped it on the bed?"

"Hmm?" Ying Chanxi took a closer look, but because it was too dark, he couldn't make out what it was.

Xu Youyu also lay on Ying Chanxi's shoulder, and his eyes were a little dazed after being touched by Li Luo for so long.

Only Yan Zhusheng still kept a smart mind and took out his mobile phone to help illuminate the view.

next second.

Ying Chanxi's face changed.

Li Luo's expression also became strange.

Yan Zhusheng showed a curious expression.

As for Xu Youyu...

"Eh? Xixi, isn't this my birthday present for you? Why did you bring the bed with you?" Xu Youyu threw dirty water on his good sister without changing his expression or heartbeat.

When Ying Chanxi heard this, he noticed Li Luo's expression and instantly blushed. He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, it can't be me! I hid it in the drawer of my own bedroom! There's no way it would appear on the bed!"

"No..." Li Luo's expression was quite interesting at this time, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You really have it?"

"I, I..." Ying Chanxi was speechless for a moment, but when she took another look at the thing in Li Luo's hand, she suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait..."

"What's wrong?" Li Luo asked puzzledly.

"This is not mine." Ying Chanxi took the small square piece from Li Luo's hand and said, "The one my senior gave me is not of this brand. The color and logo of the packaging are different. It's definitely not mine."

"It's not mine either." Yan Zhusheng shook his head. "So what is this thing?"

"Don't ask too many questions, kid." Li Luo pushed Yan Zhusheng's head back, then looked at Xu Youyu with some amusement, "Sister Youyu, I just touched it on the bed behind Xixi."

"If it's not Xixi, then it's yours?"

"You can buy this for Xixi as a birthday present, doesn't that mean..."

"I don't know!" Xu Youyu was about to be exposed, so he immediately pretended to be dead and buried his head in the bed, "Go to sleep! Stop making noise!"

Li Luo found Xu Youyu's expression funny, but he had no intention of continuing to pester him.

On the contrary, Ying Chanxi was a little bit unwilling to give in, and hit Xu Youyu through the quilt: "Senior sister, you are so bad. You just framed me."

"Alright, alright, let's go to sleep." Li Luo hugged Ying Chanxi back into his arms, but he didn't know what to do with the thing in his hand. "Sister You Yu, aren't you going to take it back?"

"Oh, you're so annoying. This thing is not mine." Xu Youyu was still being stubborn.

"So what exactly is it?" Curious baby Yan Zhusheng is still eager to learn.

"Ahem... You have read Sister Yu's novel, so you should be familiar with this." Li Luo coughed, then leaned close to Yan Zhusheng's ear and whispered a few words to her.

Soon, an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on Yan Zhusheng's little face.

Then she reached out and took the small square from Li Luo's hand.

"I remember now." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "I dropped this on the bed by accident."

After saying that, she put the thing away with a serious look on her face.

It was as if he had obtained some peerless magical weapon.
