MTL - Peach and Plum Do Not Speak (The Silent Cherry And Plum Blossoms)-Chapter 74

Yan Xi frowned, feeling that the problem was serious.

She can understand An Zhi's unease, and she may also think that she will no longer want her after she falls in love, and this child has always been insecure.

She had to deny it, she had to appease her: "Tao Tao, this is impossible, this is your home, you never have to move out."

An Zhi lowered her head and didn't speak, Yan Xi couldn't see her expression, so she approached her subconsciously, and An Zhi took a step back.

Both of them froze for a moment. Yan Xi took his hand back. The expression is a little empty, a little overwhelmed.

An Zhi's fingers hanging on his side pinched his thigh tightly.

The two were eerily silent for about a minute.

Yan Xi's lips moved, just about to break the silence and call her first. An Zhi raised her head and gave her a bright smile: "Then I won't go to school."

Her smile didn't make Yan Xi feel that she was really smiling, but felt that her smile contained a hint of bitterness.

"Come on, don't make people wait for a long time." An Zhi still smiled, his smile was flawless, Yan Xi suspected that he had read it wrong just now.

Yan Xi's gaze stopped on her face for a moment, then she turned around, her high heels spun around on the ground, took two steps with a "ta ta ta", and then turned back, her skirt spun a flower on the ground.

Yan Xi walked towards her, picked a topic and asked, "What were you doing in the kitchen just now? Are you making a cake for me?"

An Zhi lowered his head and smiled: "Well, it's just a small mango layer. But...you haven't gone out yet? Everyone else has been waiting for you for a long time."

When did An Zhi stop looking at her when he spoke?

Yan Xi frowned. She looked at An Zhi and finished speaking. She lowered her head halfway to clean up some tools, egg beaters, dishes, etc. that should be washed, and put them away after washing.

Yan Xi watched her make this, and then she said, "Take out the cake, I want to eat it."

"Ah? But it's eight o'clock now?" An Zhi turned around and said in surprise.

"What's the matter?" Yan Xi slightly lifted her skirt and sat down at the dining table, "Today is my birthday, I am the oldest, I have the final say."

An Zhi pursed her lips and smiled.

The smile seemed real. Yan Xi thought.

An Zhi took it out of the refrigerator, a 4-inch mango layer, delicate and lovely. Yan Xi can guess that there are a lot of mango pulp that she likes to eat.

"Yes! There are candles! Do you want to order it?" An Zhi was interested, and his eyes lit up. She excitedly found a small bag of colored candles.

"..." Yan Xi wanted to say that she was thirty years old, not three years old, so lighting a candle or something was too childish, but seeing how happy she was, she nodded, "Can you light it?"

"Huh? Thirty?" An Zhi said in a playful tone.

Yan Xi couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips, "What thirty sticks, can you still eat the cake? One piece is fine!"

"Okay." An Zhi could only pick one out of the bag, "Green, pink, yellow, blue... um, pink?"

Yan Xi tilted her head slightly and gave her an expression of "Do I look like someone who cares about what color candles are?"

"Then it's pink." An Zhi picked a root and lit it up.

"Happybirthday! By the way! Turn off the lights!"

Yan Xi laughed, "No need, that's it." She blew out the candle.

"Ah! You just blew it away, you haven't even made a wish!" An Zhi was disappointed.

Yan Xi shrugged, looking unconcerned.

"Okay," An Zhi picked up the knife and cut the shallow cake, revealing the dense thin egg skin layer and the crystal clear flesh.

Yan Xi opened a piece with a fork and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.

"good to eat."

An Zhi particularly likes the way she eats, and Yan Xi is very childish when she eats what she likes. She ate the cake just like that.

An Zhi hurriedly persuaded her: "Hey, you have to go out to eat later."

Yan Xi put down his fork, took a tissue and wiped his lips, "Fortunately, I don't take off my lipstick very much."

An Zhi glanced at her lips quickly, but did not recognize the lipstick shade. But Yanxi is not like Liu Yiyi who is a crazy lover of make-up. She often buys lipstick brands Charlotte Tilbury and TomFord. Occasionally, the collector madman Liu Yiyi will also give her a Mac.

Who knows that Yan Xi said is not from these two brands, but Cledepeaubeaute's 310 color, red with a hint of orange, not as mature as true red, velvet texture, with a thin matte feel, making her lips look like a A full blooming rose.

Maybe An Zhi stared at her for a long time, and Yan Xi looked back at her curiously, but she obviously didn't know that the young girl's heart was already beating. She thinks fifteen-year-old girls should already be interested in makeup.

Yan Xi smiled and said, "Do you want to put on lipstick too? Well, high school students wear a lot of makeup these days." She looked at An Zhi's face carefully, "But you don't need makeup at all, your skin tone looks good. ."

An Zhi's cheeks were hot, and he lowered his eyelashes.

"The lip color itself is also very beautiful, just use a lip balm, maybe...it's time to use the first lip balm."

An Zhi could feel Yan Xi's gaze resting on her mouth, she was no longer nervous, and wanted to bite her mouth.

"It should look good in a shade like light orange..." Yan Xi seemed to be still researching, "Light pink should also be good."

An Zhi finally couldn't take it anymore, her face flushed, "You go out! It's too late!"

Yan Xi blinked, seeing that she was embarrassed, she laughed lightly, feeling that the estrangement between An Zhi and An Zhi for a few months was all gone. The shy expression makes me feel relaxed and happy.

She stood up, "Okay, I'm going out."

Yan Xi walked out of the restaurant, An Zhi followed her to the door of the restaurant, her lips moved and stopped. She didn't dare to ask what time she came back tonight, and she didn't dare to ask if she would come back tonight.

Yan Xi walked to the entrance and turned back with a sense of feeling. An Zhi leaned against the restaurant door and looked at her from a distance.

Yan Xi's heart suddenly twitched, and he hesitated to speak. At this moment, An Zhiyuan smiled at her, waved his hand, and turned around to enter.

Yan Xi stood there for a few seconds before going out. She was driving out and wondering what this uncomfortable feeling was.

Is it guilt? Is it uncomfortable? Is it distressed? feel all.

An Zhi is not a child of several years, and it's okay to stay at home for a few hours by herself, but the way she looked at her just now, she always felt that there was something she ignored.

She didn't see that, An Zhi returned to the dining table and looked at Yan Xi's unfinished cake. She sat on the chair where Yan Xi was sitting just now, picked up the fork she had eaten, and ate a small piece of cake.

She didn't taste the cake at all, she heard her own heartbeat. An Zhi covered his face, really helpless.

When entering the restaurant that had been ordered, Yan Xi was able to restrain his thoughts. Liao Chengyu was already waiting for her, looked at her in amazement, pulled a stool for her, and the two sat down.

"Sorry, have you waited for a long time?"

"No."

The restaurant he ordered was a Michelin-starred French restaurant with a nice environment. Typical couples restaurant.

He was wearing a suit, which was very suitable for him, handsome and stylish. In fact, Yan Xi doesn't have high requirements for the appearance of boys, and cleanliness is the minimum. Of course, if the appearance is so high that her heartbeat is uncontrollable, she will not refuse.

Sadly, not currently. She has seen too many handsome male stars while working on TV and hosting evening parties, she just appreciates them.

Yan Xi knew herself very well before, and felt that her heartbeat was instantly fascinated, so fascinated that she couldn't tell. But she will definitely know when she is tempted. But now she can't tell, but if she doesn't mind, she doesn't mind, she still knows.

Dinner was good, but she was a little absent-minded. She didn't pay attention to what the appetizer was, except that she ate avocado and it was slightly sour. The snail soup was not bad and the foie gras was tender. When it was time to eat dessert, the waiter came up with the birthday cake in his hand and sang a birthday song around her.

At this moment, Yan Xi's smile seemed a little embarrassed. But she had no choice but to listen to other people's thoughts.

The cake is also beautiful, heart-shaped, covered with sliced ​​almonds and filled with many kinds of fruit. But when Yan Xi looked at it, she thought of the little mango melaleuca that An Zhi made for her just now, and the childish pink candle.

She couldn't eat it after just one bite of the cake.

After dinner, they took a walk along the road. The autumn night is gloomy, the air under the trees on both sides is cool and the fragrance of flowers is faint.

"Are you okay? I think you are very silent today." Liao Chengyu asked her.

Yan Xi's eyelashes drooped, she walked slowly, almost counting her steps. Hearing this, Yan Xi laughed at himself, "When you get to a certain age, you won't be so excited about birthdays."

Liao Chengyu smiled and said, "You too? In my opinion, you have always been beautiful and very good."

His eyes were a little too affectionate, and the embarrassing thing was that Yan Xi couldn't feel the atmosphere at all.

She made a soft "um" and lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

Liao Chengyu approached, he stretched out his hand and held her again, Yan Xi subconsciously tightened his whole body, but he couldn't resist.

Then a voice in her heart told her that she couldn't bear it any longer, and couldn't deceive herself any more.

"I have something to tell you." Yan Xi retracted his hand, raised his head and said to him.
