Chapter 161 "Family" Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts’ “Bai Shi Cup” painting exhibition was finally held on the last day of October. The previous chaotic rhythm finally came to an end, and time quickly entered November. What’s strange is that although October and November are not too far apart, one feels noticeably cooler. The evening breeze blows gently, and goose bumps appear on the exposed skin of my arms. Monday, April 11th. Chen still attended classes during the day, but at night, his biological mother Mao Xiaoqin called him suddenly, just like in his previous life. "Son, do you know what day tomorrow is?" Mao Xiaoqin asked mysteriously. "What day?"

Chen knew it well, but he still cooperated with his mother and continued the show. "It's your eighteenth birthday! After tomorrow, it means you're an adult!" Mao Xiaoqin was happy at first, but then her tone became a little sad: "18 years ago, you were just lying in your mother's arms, and now you have grown up." "...Don't be so sad yet. Let him go home for dinner tomorrow night." The voice of father Chen Peisong came from the side. Maybe he thinks his wife's sadness is inexplicable. It's a good thing that his son has grown up. Why is she crying? He really doesn't understand the logic of middle-aged women. "What's wrong with me expressing my feelings?" Mao Xiaoqin sniffed: "You know how difficult it is to raise a son? You are busy with work all day long. I am the one who takes care of everything at home..." It is said that a child’s birthday is the mother’s day of suffering. In fact, it should also be a day of recognition for the mother. The lives of ordinary people do not have so many twists and turns, but the daily necessities of life and eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in ordinary days are also very energy-consuming. The sound of his parents' affectionate quarrel came from the phone. Chen walked to the balcony and listened with a smile on his face. It wasn't until they stopped arguing that Chen Zhuo said, "Mom, I have a dinner date with someone tomorrow night. Can we change it to noon?" Tomorrow is Tuesday, a working day, and both Chen Peisong and Mao Xiaoqin need to go to work. Of course, it is not difficult for them to rush home for their son’s birthday. But out of maternal instinct, Mao Xiaoqin really wants to know who is the person who "snatches away" her son tomorrow night? Most likely it's a girl. So Mao Xiaoqin began to ask questions: "Of course there is no problem with lunch, but on such an important day, your father thinks we should have dinner together in the evening as well. After all, we are a family." "I don't think so..." Lao Chen's aggrieved and wronged voice came. "Shut up!" Empress Dowager Mao stopped her husband so that he would not disturb her plans, and then asked kindly, "Son, who is the other party?"

"Hoho~" Chen Zhe was so easily tricked now. He laughed and said, "It's a girl you all have met. I will celebrate her birthday with her tonight. Maybe she will be a family member in the future." Hearing this, Mao Xiaoqin's breathing became sharper. She exchanged a glance with her husband who was eavesdropping, and hurriedly told Chen to go home early tomorrow at noon. After hanging up her phone, she asked Chen Peisong, "What should I do?" "What do you mean?" Lao Chen pretended to be confused. "Your son is 100% in love!" Mao Xiaoqin hit her husband and said, "It's the girl we met. Do you think it's Song or Yu?" "How should I know~" Chen Peisong knew that he and his wife had different opinions on this matter. But Old Chen has a big heart, or rather, through observation over this period of time, he believes that Chen Zhe is now able to handle his relationship issues well. So he said carelessly: "Maybe it's neither of them. We have all seen Zhao Yuanyuan..." "shut up!" Mao Xiaoqin likes Yuanyuan very much and thinks this little girl is innocent and romantic. But, even though I like her, I can’t let her be my daughter-in-law! …… Chen was over there, and after hanging up the phone with his parents, he actually felt a little touched. On my 18th birthday in my previous life, my parents also asked me to go home for dinner. Not only did they prepare a table full of delicious food, they also ordered a cake. In past and present lives, my parents’ feelings for me have never changed. The only difference is the reaction among friends. In my previous life, only Huang Baihan gave me a small gift, and Wang Changhua sent me a "Happy Birthday, old classmate" blessing on QQ. I was so introverted at that time, I didn’t have many friends or a girlfriend. This life is a little different. Chen Zhu has a feeling that everyone in the world knows that his birthday is November 11th. In the dormitory, Liu Qiming took the initiative to suggest having a meal together tomorrow night, just in time to make up for the regret that the dormitory had never had a meal together before. In the student union, Minister Du Xiu sent me a message specifically, asking if the department wanted to have a meal together, one to summarize the recent work, and the other to celebrate my birthday. As for personal blessings, there were even more, even from those who had "grudges" against him in the past, such as Yang Jinxiang, Bian Xiaoliu, and even Kang Liangsong, who sent a dry "Happy Birthday". Bian Xiaoliu even invited Chen Zhu to go to the most popular bar to drink, but Chen Zhu politely refused. The next morning when I was in class, some classmates greeted me and said, "Happy birthday, class monitor. I wish you become more and more handsome." Although it is not uncommon for people to know your birthday after entering university because you have to register various information, it is still not easy for someone to remember it.

Chen Zhuo felt that it was not because he was a little bit more successful that so many people showed goodwill to him. Of course, some of this kind of thinking cannot be ruled out. More importantly, I am no longer silent after my rebirth, and I am confident when making friends with boys; When making friends with girls, be confident, calm, humorous, brave, lively, cute, and handsome... So when you actively release goodwill, more and more people like to be around you, and this birthday is the best feedback. Even ordinary friends are so polite, and the friends become even more cordial with each other. In the "cos" group, Wang Changhua clamored to have a birthday party. Later, Chen Zhuo expressed that he only planned to celebrate his coming-of-age birthday with Yu Xian, and asked everyone to understand. Everyone understood, but they also joked, "Young people have hot tempers, be careful not to get into trouble." Wu Yu knew that Chen Zhe and Yu Xian were just having dinner and watching a movie, but she still deliberately teased them in the group: "I'm not ready to be an aunt yet, Director Chen, please don't be so lewd." Yu Xian was so embarrassed that he put down his phone and pinched Wu Yu's mouth. Although the "sweet" group was still deserted, Mou Jiawen had already chatted privately with Song Shiwei, asking her how she was going to celebrate Chen Zhe's birthday. This is what Mou Jiawen planned. Huang Baihan is Chen Zhuo's good friend. If they want to hold a birthday party, even if it's just a meal, then Da Huang will definitely be invited. I can also take the opportunity to go over and break the ice with Huang Baihan, which is really killing two birds with one stone. Unexpectedly, Song Shiwei just replied, "I don't know how to get through it either." "do not know?" Mou Jiawen thought to herself, how can a boyfriend celebrate his birthday? I don’t know how a girlfriend celebrates it. People who know you well know that you have a cool and aloof personality and wouldn’t do anything pretentious. People who don’t know you well would think you two are not in a relationship! "Have you prepared your gift?" Fortunately, Mou Jiawen has read many romance novels and knows how to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday. "No, I don't know what to give." Song Shiwei replied. "Hey~, your family can't live without me!" Mou Jiawen sighed and told Song Shiwei to think carefully and see if there was anything he urgently needed. If you really don't have one, just pick one from a razor, belt, or wallet. This reminded Song Shiwei. She remembered that Chen Zhe didn't seem to have a wallet, and he just stuffed his Sun Yat-sen University campus card into his trouser pocket. It almost fell to the ground several times when he slept in the library. "How about a wallet?" There are quite a few wallets at Song Shiwei's house, all of which were brought back for his daughter by Old Song when he went abroad for meetings.

Some wallets are very neutral and have no gender distinction. "You can have this!" Mou Jiawen taught Song Shiwei how to give gifts to her boyfriend, and then began to "trick" Song Shiwei into inviting friends to celebrate her birthday together in the evening. "Should I ask if he has any other plans for the evening?" Suddenly, Song Shiwei thought of this question. "How can it be!" Mou Jiawen denied it on the spot and told Song Shiwei that if a boy finds excuses to disappear on special holidays such as birthdays, Chinese Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day, 520, etc., there is definitely something wrong with him. Song Shiwei did not comment and sent a message to Chen Zhuo, asking him how he would celebrate his birthday in the evening. After a while, Chen Zhuo replied. Song Shiwei stared at the screen and then forwarded it to Mou Jiawen. Xiao Mou took a look and was immediately disappointed, but did not accuse Chen of having any problems. Chen Zhuo said: I live with my family. ······ (End of this chapter)
