Chapter 25(1/2)
"What?"
Xu Zhilu looked at him in disbelief: "Receive it?"
Chen Siyan stared at her straight, his eyes deep, like a deep pool.
He frowned: "Aunt Liu didn't give it to you?"
Xu Zhilu shook her head in a daze.
She and Shen Siyan looked at each other for a long time and began to sort out his simple words.
"You mean, you gave me a gift and asked Aunt Liu to hand it over to me?"
Chen Siyan nodded.
He has the awkward presence of a boy and rarely gives Xu Zhilu gifts seriously.
Even if I give it, I will force it to stuff it, or put it in her room or something, and I rarely give it to her solemnly.
The small gifts from the past were fine.
Chen Siyan was afraid that she would not want the birthday gift that day, and it was not appropriate to force him to stuff it. He thought about it for a long time and walked to the next door.
Because of their birthdays, the Xu family holds birthday parties for them every year, but there is only one protagonist, Xu Zhijia.
When Chen Siyan passed, the birthday party had not started yet, Xu Zhilu was not at home, only Aunt Liu was there, and she said she had gone out.
She was not here, and Chen Siyan couldn't do anything to go to her room.
Aunt Liu asked him what was wrong, and Chen Siyan responded and asked her to help give the thing to Xu Zhilu.
Aunt Liu smiled and looked at him and said yes, let him put it on the table, and wait for Xu Zhilu to come back for her.
Chen Siyan didn't think much about it, let it go and left.
After his birthday, Xu Zhilu showed his face for several days.
Although Chen Siyan felt it was inexplicable, he didn't ask much. It was because Xu Zhilu had been confused about his gloomy many times, and sometimes he suddenly lost his temper, so he didn't think much about it.
He is not the kind of person who pays attention to small details, which is a disadvantage. What's more, that watch is not very cheap, so it's normal for Xu Zhilu to not wear it.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Chen Siyan frowned: "Didn't Aunt Liu hand it over to you?"
Xu Zhilu shook her head: "She has handed me the gift, but she doesn't have it."
Chen Siyan was stunned.
Xu Zhilu pursed her lower lip and looked at him: "I thought at the time." Before she could say anything afterwards, Chen Siyan took it over: "I thought I didn't give you a gift?"
Her throat was sore and as if she couldn't make a sound. She turned her mouth several times before she said "hmm".
She really thought so.
Chen Siyan was silent for a moment and whispered: "Are you stupid?"
His voice was low and he felt a little helpless: "Since I was young, when did I not give you a birthday?"
Xu Zhilu didn't say anything. She also felt that she was very stupid, but in her last life, she was sensitive and wanted to save face.
Even if it is strange, he can't hide his face and ask. Ask him why he doesn't give himself a gift.
Chen Siyan looked at her lower eyes and rolled up with Adam's apple: "Go."
“Where to go?”
Xu Zhilu looked at the hand he held, looking confused.
"go home."
Chen Siyan's face sank, looking a little scary.
Xu Zhilu was slightly stunned and let go of his hand: "Are you planning to go back and ask Aunt Liu?"
Chen Siyan turned around: "Don't you want me to ask Aunt Liu?"
Xu Zhilu thought for a while: "No."
She pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Liu can't embezzle things, you and I know."
Aunt Liu has worked in the Xu family for so many years and is very good to anyone. She is even the best one in the Xu family to Xu Zhilu.
Chen Siyan paused: "Then find out the person who took the gift." Xu Zhilu raised her eyes to him: "Do you think she will admit it?"
Chen Siyan didn't speak.
Xu Zhilu took care of the matter and said in a low voice: "We are going back now, just asking Aunt Liu, who took the watch you asked her to hand me over. If Aunt Liu said that Xu Zhijia took it, then her job would be gone. But if Aunt Liu wouldn't say you didn't give it to her, she wouldn't be able to say such words."
She lived for so many years and knew what kind of person Aunt Liu was.
She could believe 100% that Aunt Liu would not embezzle it. The most likely thing was to put it on the table. Xu Zhijia said that she would hand it over to her and gave it to her in the room, but in the end she didn't give it to her.
Although Xu Zhilu wanted to confirm who took it, she didn't want Aunt Liu to lose her job because of it.
Chen Siyan looked at her: "Then let it go?"
"Of course not."
Xu Zhilu did not hesitate: "I won't just forget it."
Her lips tightly pursed: "Let's calm down first. Xu Zhijia took the watch and it's impossible for him to never wear it."
Chen Siyan looked at her calmly: "I'm sure I'm going to wait?"
Xu Zhilu nodded: "There is no other way except waiting."
It’s not that she is not in a hurry, but that she can’t let Aunt Liu lose her job for her own ideas.
Aunt Liu and the driver at home are a couple. If Aunt Liu is questioned and she tells the truth, it is not surprising that Xu's mother will dismiss both the aunt and the driver for her baby daughter.
For Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu, finding a job is not easy, and they also have to support their family.
Xu Zhilu talked about whether the relationship between them was deep or shallow. If there was a better way, she didn't want to question Aunt Liu.
Chen Siyan was silent for a moment and whispered: "You can ask Aunt Liu."
"I know."
Xu Zhilu looked at him: "But not to question me, I will talk to Aunt Liu."
Chen Siyan nodded: "Then let's do what you said first."
"Um."
Xu Zhilu looked up at him, and Chen Siyan also happened to bow his head.
The two looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, her lips twitched and she said softly: "I'm sorry."
Chen Siyan was stunned: "What apologize?"
Xu Zhilu turned her head and stared at the people coming and going downstairs: "This is wrong with mine."
Chen Siyan said "yes" and frowned at her: "Don't think about it alone in the future. Just ask me if you want to know what you want."
"……oh."
"There is nothing to be ashamed or not. Xu Zhijia has given it, how could I not give it to you?"
Xu Zhilu listened quietly to the training.
Chen Siyan couldn't bear to say more about her. He took a deep breath and looked at the time: "Go downstairs."
Xu Zhilu was stunned: "What are you going to do?"
Chen Siyan didn't say anything, but just pulled her to the elevator.
Two people entered the elevator.
The two arrived at the third floor.
Xu Zhilu looked at Chen Siyan with a confused look on his face, not knowing what he was going to do.
A few minutes later, she stood in front of the watch counter.
The clerk looked at the two of them with a decent smile on his face: "Hello, do you two want to see something?"
Chen Siyan knocked down the table: "Look at the watch."
Xu Zhilu stared wide and turned to look at him: "You..."
Before she could finish her words, Chen Siyan interrupted her: "Choose one."
Xu Zhilu pursed her lips: "Didn't you give it?"
"You didn't get it."
Chen Siyan said calmly: "Choose one first."
"There is no need to give a watch. I told you about that today, not the intention of asking for a gift."
Chen Siyan turned his head and looked at her with a deep look for a while: "I know."
