Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Lu Mian Lost in Thought (Extra)
The four people looked at each other and took their seats.
Yuren and Ya Ling were busy setting out the dishes.
Lu Mian slightly tilted her head, looking towards the only empty seat, momentarily lost in thought.
She twirled a lock of hair by her ear with her index finger, while the other hand spun a chopstick. She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have bought two packs of chopsticks from the supermarket before, so why couldn’t she find them afterward?
“Mianmian?” Yuren waved his hand in front of her: “What are you thinking about?”
Lu Mian immediately came back to her senses, replying earnestly, “Oh, I was thinking about how to beat that guy up three hundred times.”
Ya Ling laughed until he bent backward: “With Brother Mian here, I have got someone to back me up!”
“Zero, Mianmian is a girl, you should change the way you speak.” Yuren said helplessly.
Ya Ling smiled coquettishly, looking across: “Brother Mian, do you think I should change?”
Lu Mian laid out her napkin methodically and gave her an indulgent wink: “As long as you are happy.”
In fact, Lu Mian was the youngest among them, and they all wanted to spoil their little sister. But in reality, they were the ones being pampered and cared for by the young girl.
This feeling was both joyful and helpless.
Yuren shook his head and looked at the table full of dishes, finding his sense of worth again, and pushed the burger plate towards Lu Mian, “It’s all yours.”
Ya Ling and Sui Yuan didn’t compete either.
But this time, Lu Mian unusually didn’t touch them, she even looked away after a few glances, deep in thought. This left Yuren’s heart cold; could it be that even his worth in cooking was gone.
“What’s wrong, not feeling hungry?” Yuren noted that Lu Mian had been distracted quite often tonight.
Lu Mian waved her hand, “No, I’m just not very hungry yet.”
Probably realizing she had been distracted, Lu Mian felt a bit guilty and quickly changed the subject, “Today is Yuanyuan’s birthday, let’s get some alcohol!”
As she said this, she moved to find a drink in the liquor cabinet.
Ya Ling, Sui Yuan, and Yuren were instantly horror-stricken, jumping out of their seats with the speed of their lives, blocking the doors, intercepting Lu Mian, hiding the alcohol.
“…” Lu Mian pursed her lips, self-reflecting: “Am I that disliked for my poor tolerance?”
The three people pursed their lips.
It’s not that you have poor tolerance; you have a bad drunk personality! You have no sober awareness of yourself!
Of course, they dare not say this, for after all, even if they did, Lu Mian would not admit it! They had to record a video of her drinking one day to let her see for herself how she was when drunk!
Yuren pacified her back to sit down: “We rarely get together; let’s talk more.”
The three of them dodged a bullet.
Ya Ling hurriedly lit the candles on the cake, forcefully diverting Lu Mian’s attention: “Yuanyuan, make a wish!”
Sui Yuan happily agreed, the candlelight reflecting in her pupils while she solemnly looked at her close friends who had been through thick and thin, put her hands together and closed her eyes.
A soft and leisurely “Happy Birthday” song rang in her ears.
After a while, she finished making her wish, and the four of them helped blow out the candles.
“Yuanyuan, this is the gift I’ve got for you!” Ya Ling handed her a big box.
Sui Yuan opened it to find a pair of boxing gloves.
“Sister wishes you can become brave. If anyone troubles you, don’t hesitate to punch them!”
“Thank you, Sister Zero.”
Yuren also presented his gift, “Yuanyuan, you spend a lot of time using your brain. This is a massage helmet that effectively relieves eye and brain fatigue; it’s perfect for you.”
Finally, it was Lu Mian’s turn.
Lu Mian pushed the beautifully prepared gift box over to Sui Yuan.
Sui Yuan wanted to open it, but Lu Mian pressed her hand down: “Don’t look yet, wait till I get the spot for the physics placement, and then you can open it.”
“Okay.” Sui Yuan pouted, accepting the gift, and glanced at the delicate box again, really wanting to know what was inside…
After the gifts were given, everyone prepared to start eating the cake.
Ya Ling’s phone suddenly rang.
She looked at the caller ID and rolled her eyes: “Tsk, the heartless one is calling!”
