Xiao Chun took it with a smile. Her voice was crisp and clear as she looked at her. “Thank you, Lil’ Weilai.” She paused for a moment before turning to Gu Yu. “Thank you, brother Yu.”
Xu Weilai reminded her, “You can open it and see if you like it. If you don’t like it, ask Gu Yu to add another one for you!”
After all, Xiao Chun had too many things, so on her birthday, she would basically pick whatever she liked, then Xu Shuai and Gu Yu would just pay for it.
However, Xu Weilai felt that she had to choose the gift herself in order to express goodwill, so she chose one herself.
Xiao Chun shook her head. “There’s no need to look. As long as it’s from you, I like it.”
When Xu Shuai heard this, he felt that it was especially wondrous. Why could a girl talk to a girl in such a flirtatious manner in the name of friendship, but if a man talked to a man like this…
As he thought about it, he moved to Gu Yu’s side and whispered in his ear, “Ah-Yu, as long as it’s a gift from you, I like it!”
Gu Yu glanced at him sideways with a chilly gaze, but he nodded. His thin lips parted and he spat out a single word, “Okay.”
Xu Shuai had only wanted to skin him a little, but Gu Yu had agreed so readily. He actually wanted to give him a gift? Since he had always been generous with his money, it looked like he had gotten a great deal!
He couldn’t help but chuckle and pushed Gu Yu shyly, “Turns out you like this sort of stuff.”
At the same time, he was already racking his mind for the various limited edition car models that he wanted…
However, in the next second, he was hit in the stomach. Xu Shuai immediately grunted and looked at Gu Yu in disbelief. “Ah-Yu… You, you, you, you, why did you hit me?”
Gu Yu slowly retracted his arm and nonchalantly replied, “This punch is a gift from me to you. Didn’t you say that as long as it’s from me, you’d like it? Do you not like it?”
Xu Shuai jumped away. “Sorry to disturb you!”
Xu Weilai and Xiao Chun laughed out loud. Why did Xu Shuai have to provoke the masculine straight man Gu Yu? Wouldn’t he just be looking for trouble…
Xiao Chun still had to go and greet other friends, so she left.
Gu Yu and Xu Weilai found a booth and sat down. She picked up a glass of champagne and wanted to drink it, but the champagne in her hand was snatched away. Gu Yu then placed a glass of fruit juice into her hand as he said in a low voice, “Your injury hasn’t fully healed, so you’re not allowed to drink.”
Xu Weilai felt ambivalent at that moment.
She was very happy that Gu Yu was worried about her, but she was also afraid… that he did all of this out of guilt.
She thought about how after Chen Chen’s birthday party ended, she would have to face the problems between her and Gu Yu!
She forced a smile and pretended to be dissatisfied. “I can drink fruit juice if you want me to, but you have to drink fruit juice with me. We have to share happiness and hardships together!”
He smiled. “Sure.”
Then, he put down the champagne in his hand and picked up the fruit juice.
The two of them held the quilt and drank it.
When it was time to cut the cake, everyone sang a birthday song for Xiao Chun. After she cut the cake, she didn’t make a wish. Instead, she said to everyone, “Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I invited you here today because I want you to be witnesses. I want to confess my love to a man!”
The crowd was silent for a second before they burst into an uproar. “Love confession! Love confession! Love confession!”
Xiao Chun closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she opened her eyes and faced the direction where Gu Yu and Xu Weilai were standing. She said word by word, “I like you. I’ve always liked you. My feelings for you have never changed ever since high school!”
