"Celebrating Damai's birthday?"
Zhou Chen remembered the birthday scene in the plot and nodded without thinking: "Of course, no problem."
Xu Hongdou said: "That's great. There's no need to borrow this car. We'll go together then."
"Okay, let me know when the specific day is and I will drive you with me. Do you want me to prepare a gift or something?"
"Gift, you can decide this yourself."
"Okay, then I understand."
A few days later, Xu Hongdou told Zhou Chen that they originally wanted to make an appointment with Damai, but instead, Damai made an appointment with them in advance to go shopping in the ancient city together on their birthday.
"I only dated you and Nana?" Zhou Chen asked.
Xu Hongdou said: "Yes, she must have thought that we didn't know that the day after tomorrow was her birthday, so she made an appointment with us in advance."
Zhou Chen said: "In that case, I won't be able to go shopping with you. Let's do this. I will take you to the ancient city and be your driver. Then according to your original plan, I will go to Teacher Hu's bar to wait for you.
, when you finish shopping and return to the bar, we will celebrate her birthday together."
"Then I'll trouble you."
"No trouble. Let's not talk about helping Damai celebrate his birthday. Even if it's just to help you, it's my duty to help you."
Xu Hongdou stared at Zhou Chen with big eyes for a while. Seeing that Zhou Chen had no intention of avoiding him, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Then it's settled."
Returning to his room, Xu Hongdou took several deep breaths to calm down.
She was so smart, how could she not hear the hidden meaning of Zhou Chen's words, but she was really panicked and didn't dare to talk openly to Zhou Chen.
"Xu Hongdou, don't think too much. You said you won't have a long-distance relationship."
Xu Hongdou quickly gave herself an order not to think about it. She had already decided that even if it was a relationship, she would never allow a long-distance relationship.
Two days passed by in a flash. Today was Damai's birthday, but Xu Hongdou and Nana didn't show it, and Zhou Chen also pretended not to know anything. He was driving for them as their driver today.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Damai clasped his hands together and said gratefully to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, thank you so much for letting you be our driver today."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I'm just a driver. We have been neighbors for two months. In my heart, we are all friends. Don't you think of me as a friend?"
"No, no, no, no, I mean, we are friends, we are friends." Damai hurriedly explained, but realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly defended himself.
Xu Hongdou patted Zhou Chen: "Don't tease us Damai."
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to open the skylight, and then opened the surrounding windows. The three women felt the wind blowing, and they were all extremely excited.
"Just pretend that I don't exist and do whatever you want."
Xu Hongdou and the three girls looked at each other, laughed, and then became even more relaxed...
Send them to the ancient city and let them go shopping on their own.
"I'll go shopping first. If you need a car, call me. When Teacher Hu's bar opens, we'll go there together."
"Okay, we get it."
The three women waved their hands at Zhou Chen, and then ran away happily.
Zhou Chen looked at this scene and smiled kindly. These three girls all have their own troubles. Today is probably a rare happy day since they came to Yunmiao Village.
The three girls, Xu Hongdou, really let loose today. Since the morning, they have been playing in various places in the ancient city, and they only had a casual lunch.
Shopping, shopping, eating snacks, playing games...
It wasn't until late afternoon that they felt tired and sat together on the steps.
"Hongdou, what time is it?"
"It's past four o'clock."
"What time does Teacher Hu's bar open?"
"I don't know. I'd better call Teacher Hu first. You guys wait here."
Nana ran aside and called Hu Youyu. They had also agreed with Hu Youyu to celebrate Damai's birthday together.
She came back after a while.
"Teacher Hu said that their bar is about to open, so we can go there now. Hongdou, do you think we should go there by ourselves, or call Zhou Chen and ask him to pick us up?"
"Then I'll call Zhou Chen and ask first."
In the end, Zhou Chen drove over to pick up the three of them, and then the four of them went to the bar where Hu Youyu was.
"You bought so many things?"
When he first got on the bus, he saw that each of these three women was carrying several bags. It seemed that they had gained a lot.
Xu Hongdou smiled and said: "Of course, there are a lot of good things here, and we bought them as soon as we liked them."
Damai also said: "Although this is not my first time to the ancient city, it is the first time I have spent so much time here. It turns out that it is really fun."
Nana said: "Fun is one reason, but the most important reason is to play with you."
"Yes." "Nana is absolutely right."
Xu Hongdou and Damai both expressed their agreement.
After driving to their destination, Zhou Chen parked the car, and the four of them arrived in front of a bar with an ancient architectural style.
"Is this here? It's an ancient city. It's completely different from the bars I've seen."
"It feels a bit like an ancient inn, what do you think?"
"It's so red, it makes my eyes dazzle."
Zhou Chen stood aside and listened to the comments made by the three women. He didn't think there was anything strange about it. He had lived for so long and had never seen any strange places. This bar was just an insignificant one.
Hu Youyu, who was sitting not far from the door of the bar and drinking beer, glanced around and saw the four of Zhou Chen standing outside the door, and he immediately cheered.
"Hey, it's coming, it's coming, come on, come on, welcome, come in, come in."
Zhou Chen and the others were led into the bar, and a table was arranged. Then Hu Youyu introduced a woman wearing leather clothes next to him.
"Let me introduce you. These are the three golden flowers in our courtyard. Nana, Hongdou, Damai, and this handsome guy named Zhou Chen. These are my good friends who are both teachers and friends. These are my
My good friend Little Sparrow opened this bar to her husband. We usually come here to have a party, have a drink, brag, and enjoy ourselves."
The proprietress Xiao Maqiao and Zhou Chen all greeted the four of them with a very warm attitude.
"Hello, you guys take your time and play while I go get ready."
"thank you."
Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou sat together, Damai and Nana sat together.
After everyone was seated, Xu Hongdou winked at Hu Youyu, who looked at each other with understanding, and then stood up.
"Look, what do you want to drink? I'll help you prepare it."
Hu Youyu ordered wine for Zhou Chen and the four of them, but they were all low-alcohol cocktails, red wine, etc.
Zhou Chen looked at the wine in front of him and said: "I was the one driving the car when I came here. If I drink, I will have to find a substitute driver when I get back later. Do you think I should drink?"
"Drink, of course you have to drink."
Nana immediately said loudly, and Xu Hongdou nodded in agreement: "Today is a good day. Since you are here, you have to drink."
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "Okay, then drink."
"Here, cheers."
The four of them raised their glasses and clinked them together.
Zhou Chen picked it up and took a gentle sip. Well, it's not too strong and a little sweet.
Hu Youyu walked onto the stage, picked up his guitar, and sang a song.
"On that day in 1994, the first day you came to the world, I heard that the rain stopped and your father named you Zhou Qingtian. Day by day, you grew up..."
When I heard Damai here, my eyes widened immediately with a look of surprise, because her name was Zhou Qingtian, and she was born in 1994. In other words, Hu Youyu's song was about her.
.
At the end of the song, Hu Youyu suddenly changed the topic and sang: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."
