Chapter 162 Birthday Party on Thanksgiving Day
Few hours later, the dean of St. Mary’s Private Hospital and Li Xiuqi formally announced that Yao Sheng was out of danger. He could go on living as long as he had a good rest.
“Thank you so much. Thank you so much…” Yao Sheng’s parents burst into tears. They have separated for ten years, reunited because of the accident of their son.
In the evening, when Shen Jiani left the hospital with Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo, she asked suddenly, “Manager Ling, can I leave after a month?”
“Did you forget? It’s a month after Yao Sheng leave the hospital, not a month after he is out of danger!” Ling Tianyi said coldly. He didn’t know if Yao Sheng would lose his memory or get blind after waking up. If he could choose, he would rather let Yao Sheng lose his memory, then he could forget such a bad woman like Shen Jiani.
“OK, I can wait!” After Shen Jiani finished, she left. After all, people of different moral convictions could not get along.
The next day, Yao Sheng woke up. He ate some liquid food and then fell asleep again. He was unable to open his eyes. However, Yao Sheng held Shen Jiani’s hands all the time, showing that he didn’t lose his memory since he still remembered Shen Jiani. Seeing their son care about Shen Jiani so much, Yao Sheng’s parents wanted to treat her as their daughter-in-law.
Yao Sheng slept for the whole day. But Xia Xiaoluo was very excited on this day. First, she was happy because Yao Sheng woke up. Second, she was excited to prepare a birthday present for Ouyang Ziqian. She invited Dou Ya as her partner to attend the fancy dress party. They would dress up as white-pink rabbits.
Dou Ya studied in an ordinary university. She was also very excited to go to the fancy dress party in a noble university.
`
In the evening, after Xia Xiaoluo and Dou Ya had Spicy Rice Noodles in the snack bar outside school, they began to make up. In the afternoon, they skipped classes in order to prepare the clothes and props. So they only needed to dress up.
After dressing up in the dressing room of FLY Dance Club, Xia Xiaoluo and Dou Ya put on the white rabbit mask. They giggled in front of the mirror for a while, then Xia Xiaoluo said, “Dou Ya, what do you think of my present for Ouyang senior? Is it too cheap?”
“No. As the old saying says, the present itself may be small, but the goodwill is deep.” Dou Ya said.
“No! You know I’m married now, I can’t make my husband jealous. Ouyang senior took good care of me all the time and helped me a lot. I want to give him a small birthday present to express my gratitude. However, people who come to the Birthday Party are rich, they must have bought very expensive presents.” Xia Xiaoluo sighed.
“Didn’t your husband give you a lot of money? Why don’t you buy the present with that money, then you don’t need to borrow money from me?” Dou Ya pouted her mouth and said. In addition, except for her meal expenses for this month, she lent her x all pocket money of upperclassmen to Xia Xiaoluo.
“Presents for others should be bought with my own money, but I have no money now. I will pay you back when I earn money by myself another day. It means that I buy the present with my own money, and I am happy and comfortable.” Xia Xiaoluo was not regretful for her decision. If Ling Tianyi knew that she bought a present for another man with the money he gave, he would be angry again.
Xia Xiaoluo looked at the pair of gloves, which only cost 29.9 yuan. She thought it was a little cheap. She told herself “Forget it, we have no choice. I will give him the gloves!”
“Lily, what do you prepare for Ouyang senior?”
“What about you first?”
“All right! My cousin went abroad on business a few days ago, and I asked him to bring me the Piaget! Limited edition!”
“Wow, you spent a lot of money!”
“But mine is not bad either. This two cufflinks with diamonds are designed by Italian designers. They’re unique in the world!”
…
Some girls were discussing their presents. Xia Xiaoluo and Dou Ya were very surprised. Xia Xiaoluo looked at her cheap gloves. She thought it would be a joke to give this present. There was a pink bag on Xia Xiaoluo’s rabbit costume. So she put the gloves in. “I think it’s better not to take it out!”
“Xia Xiaoluo, you have wasted all my pocket money, why don’t you give him?” Dou Ya was unhappy at once.
“I will pay your 30 yuan back as soon as possible, the remaining 1 Jiao is the interest.” Xia Xiaoluo threw the coin to Dou Ya.
The dance party began. Everyone wore a mask, and they could dance with people they didn’t know.
As the protagonist of the fancy dress party, Ouyang Ziqian wore a Vampire costume. He was totally different, so many girls couldn’t find him. However, Ouyang Ziqian searched everywhere to find Xia Xiaoluo. He wanted to perform a perfect dance with her, then he wouldn’t have any regrets on his birthday.
Suddenly, Ouyang Ziqian found that there were two lovely rabbits in the corner. He smiled slightly. He supported the black mask on his face, then walked towards them straightly.
In fact, Xia Xiaoluo and Dou Ya were similar in figure. Now, they were wearing the same clothes, Ouyang Ziqian was confused, he didn’t know which one was Xia Xiaoluo. But one thing he was sure that Xia Xiaoluo must be one of the two rabbits. Because only Xia Xiaoluo would dress so lovely but simple clothes. Although all the girls did make-up, they wore jewelry on their heads, hands and clothes. Only this two rabbits were simple.
“Two lovely rabbits, why don’t you go to dance? You are easily caught by the big wolf in the corner!” Ouyang Ziqian said. Although he did not know which one was Xia Xiaoluo, he could judge from the voice. So he talked with them first.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t dare to dance with Ouyang Ziqian. It was really not easy for her to come to the party, so she could not annoy Ling Tianyi anymore. He was anxious about Yao Sheng recently. Now things were getting better and better, so she couldn’t make him unhappy anymore.
Xia Xiaoluo was thinking when a boy dressed up as a big wolf came. He stretched out his hand to Xia Xiaoluo and made an inviting gesture. Xia Xiaoluo agreed directly. Anyway, she could dance with anyone as long as it was not Ouyang Ziqian, thus Ling Tianyi wouldn’t get angry.
Ouyang Ziqian saw that a little rabbit was invited by a big wolf. He saw that another guy who dressed up as a zombie come. He could not wait, so he stretched out his hand like a gentleman immediately. “May I invite the loveliest little rabbit to dance with me?”
Dou Ya saw that he was a vampire, while his voice and action were very elegant. So she put her hand in the vampire’s hand and went into the dance hall together.
“You have stepped on my foot.” Xia Xiaoluo said to the big wolf who was very tall.
“I should have eaten you. Why do you lie to me?” Ling Tianyi said leisurely.
“You… Darling?” Xia Xiaoluo looked at the big wolf in front of her with surprise. It was Ling Tianyi!
“Are you going to dance with Ouyang Ziqian if I hadn’t come just now?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“No! Dou Ya is here! Dou Ya likes Ouyang senior, I’m creating opportunities for her.” Xia Xiaoluo told a lie naturally, but she wronged Dou Ya again. She only hoped that Ling Tianyi would not gossip, otherwise Dou Ya would kill her.
“Why did you say that it was a fancy dress party of the Dance Club yesterday. You didn’t tell me it was Ouyang Ziqian’s Birthday Party!” Ling Tianyi asked. He was unhappy about this. He did not want Xia Xiaoluo to conceal anything from him because it showed fear and distrust.
“I forgot.” Xia Xiaoluo told a lie again.
“Forgot? Darling, you will be punished severely because of telling a lie!” Ling Tianyi whispered to Xia Xiaoluo.
“Ah? Actually, I’m afraid that you won’t allow me to attend this fancy dress party!” Xia Xiaoluo told the truth because she was afraid of being punished by Ling Tianyi.
“Well! Did you prepare any presents? Don’t lie to me!” Ling Tianyi guessed that Xia Xiaoluo must have prepared a present, but he didn’t know what she would prepare. He was curious about that. However, Ling Tianyi also thought that if Xia Xiaoluo dared to buy valuable presents for Ouyang Ziqian with his money, he would be angry and punish her severely.
“OK! I tell you the truth. I bought a pair of gloves, but I’m not going to give him now.” Xia Xiaoluo said sadly.
“Why?” Ling Tianyi felt much better after he knew that Xia Xiaoluo only bought a pair of gloves. After all, it was nothing valuable. Of course, he also knew why she didn’t want to send it.
“Because I saw that the presents given by other students were very high-end, including diamond cufflinks and famous watch. While my gloves only cost 29.9 yuan, even cheaper than their packing boxes. I don’t want to lose face!” Xia Xiaoluo said helplessly.
“No! You must give him! 29.9 yuan is expensive enough! Ouyang Ziqian is worth this price!” Ling Tianyi said happily. Ouyang Ziqian was only 29.9 yuan worth in Xia Xiaoluo’s eyes. That was so great.
Xia Xiaoluo made a very innocent expression under the rabbit mask. She did not mean that. Ouyang Ziqian was good-tempered with good family background. How could he be worth only 29.9 yuan? If Ouyang Ziqian heard Ling Tianyi’s words, he would certainly misunderstood.
At the end of the music, Ouyang Ziqian found that the little rabbit who could hardly dance was not Xia Xiaoluo. Xia Xiaoluo could dance well with him, but this little rabbit could hardly dance. Although Ouyang Ziqian was eager to find Xia Xiaoluo, he was also very gentle. He sent the little rabbit back politely and then left.
Ouyang Ziqian saw that Xia Xiaoluo was still with the big wolf, so he walked to them directly. Although he didn’t dance with Xia Xiaoluo for the first dance, she must be his partner of the second dance.
