MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 48

At twelve fifteen at night, Tao Xiaodong's cell phone rang.

Tang Suoyan: Happy birthday Xiaodong, I'm home, don't worry.

Tao Xiaodong replied: Rest early, Brother Yan.

Tang Suoyan: Haven't slept yet?

Tao Xiaodong: No, I'm going to sleep.

Tang Suoyan replied: Good night then.

Tao Xiaodong also returned one.

The two of them haven't called each other all day, but Tang Suoyan sent two messages in the morning and one evening. Tao Xiaodong didn't say much to him, he was too busy.

The next morning Tao Xiaodong just opened his eyes when Tao Huainan fell asleep next to him. Tao Xiaodong lifted the quilt and covered him. Tao Huainan woke up and said in a nasal voice, "Brother, happy birthday, be safe and sound."

"Thank you." Tao Xiaodong raised his hand to touch the back of his head, "Go to sleep."

"Eggs." Tao Huainan handed one over from his hand, "Brother Ku cooked it early in the morning, you should be scrambling."

Tao Xiaodong smiled and asked, "Get out now? Get out while lying down?"

"Stand up and roll." Tao Huainan smiled, "Stand up and I'll give you Gulu Gulu."

It is a habit of their family to roll eggs around their bodies on their birthdays. Tao Huainan was very serious about rolling, and after rolling, he put the eggs in his pajamas pocket and ate them later.

Chi Cheng got up early in the morning and cooked him a bowl of noodles, a small bowl of longevity noodles, and Tao Xiaodong finished them off.

He really doesn't have any feelings about whether it's a birthday or not. At this age, birthdays are generally indifferent. Unlike when I was a child, I could look forward to a new set of clothes and a table of meat.

There is no hope now.

Xia Yuan hasn't seen Tao Xiaodong for a while, so he thought about it too. Now it is impossible for Tao Xiaodong to celebrate his birthday without making troubles. This person loves to play and make trouble, even when he was in school.

It is true that Tao Xiaodong hasn't come out to see friends for a long time. During this period of time, he was patronizing himself and falling in love, and these people thought he was going out again.

Tao Xiaodong didn't have the nerve to say that he didn't go out, but he didn't come out to look for you.

There is no work in the store today. It doesn't make sense for you to go out and have fun. We still have to work. We don't earn any money and go out to waste. The place was decided by Xia Yuan, his friend's club, stop and do whatever he wants.

They also came with their old friends, and several tattoo artists from the same city who had a close relationship with Tao Xiaodong.

As soon as Xia Yuan saw Tao Xiaodong, he came over and put his arms around his shoulders, smiling meanly: "Who is that guy? Are you coming or not?"

Tao Xiaodong shook his head: "No."

"Why don't you come?" Xia Yuan quit, "Why don't you come?"

Tao Xiaodong said, "I didn't say anything."

"What's the matter with you?" Xia Yuan "tsk", "You don't want to bring me out to see you?"

Xia Yuan had a choice in his heart, and he felt that it was almost the same. I also felt embarrassed when Tao Xiaodong couldn't get rid of it, and that person was even more sensitive, "Hi" said: "Don't worry, mine happened many years ago, we brothers don't care about that."

Tao Xiaodong didn't think about him at all, and now he remembered Tao Xiaodong, "Ah": "Who cares about your old sesame seeds and rotten millet?"

After thinking about it, Xia Yuan was still not convinced, and said to him: "At the beginning you said that my thoughts were not on the stage, how dare you come on the stage now?"

Tao Xiaodong remembered that there was such a thing, and he was a little embarrassed: "It's not necessarily something."

"Don't be sure, I think it's pretty good." Xia Yuan thought about that person's appearance and temperament, and Tao Xiaodong was a good match, "Fatality tricks people."

After parking the car, Tian Yi came over and heard the two of them talking at the door, so he came over and asked, "Why do you make good fortune?"

Xia Yuan said: "Your old iron tree is probably going to bloom."

"Who, it's impossible." Tian Yi was very firm, "I don't know if you know?"

Tao Xiaodong couldn't take it anymore and went in first. The two of them have been a little silly since they were in school, and now they always feel that they are not doing well.

Those in the store are young after all, and they don't know friends like Tao Xiaodong too well. They don't follow this circle and play their own games. Rhubarb is familiar with these people, and everyone who is familiar with Tao Xiaodong knows Rhubarb.

On the wine table, Da Huang took the first glass first, drank it in one gulp, and thanked everyone for taking care of Xiaodong.

Xia Yuan is not going to do what he is doing, he was the one who made the game, and Rhubarb snatched the first glass of wine, so it doesn't matter what the relationship is. Xia Yuan immediately took a second cup and said the same thing.

Tian Yi stopped doing it, stood up and said, "No matter what you say, you two have to stay back for a while. Xiaodong and I have known each other since junior high school. When we were fighting, you didn't know where to put it."

After going down these three cups, if someone wanted to stand up, they would be ripped off by the person next to him: "Quickly stop and sit down."

He didn't say a word, he didn't eat, he came up with three glasses of wine and went down. It seems that today this wine is going to be drunk like a wolf, Xia Yuan even said that it will be a big mistake, that is not good.

All the people at the table are men, so it is impossible to listen to what is said at the wine table. Ear piercing.

"Hey, the waiter is here, take a break first." The waiter came in to serve something, and someone stopped him.

The waiter was a boy in his early twenties. He blushed after hearing a few words from them, smiled and hurried out.

"See if it scares people's children. Can you speak a little bit?" Tian Yi, a straight man who is responsible, took out his mobile phone and sent his wife a WeChat message: Wife, they are so dirty.

His wife replied: Who are you better than?

Tian Yi put away his mobile phone, since he said so, he stopped playing with his mobile phone when everyone was chatting.

"Don't say this in front of me, I dare say that some of you can vent your anger, how long have I been single?" Tian Yi sat next to Tao Xiaodong, patted Tao Xiaodong's leg, "It's so hot in the dead of night."

Tao Xiaodong didn't have a date, that's an eternal topic, Tao Xiaodong didn't refute, he didn't talk much today, just leaned on the back of his chair and listened to their nonsense.

"Look at the calluses on your hands." Someone said.

Following these words, a group of stinky old men continued to talk, filthy. Tao Xiaodong also laughed, and when he laughed, the drooping arc of his eyes had the taste of a man in his thirties. Not very young, but not old either.

At the age of taking responsibility, I have experienced many things, and I have experience and achievements. But there is still momentum in the eyes, and there is still a youthful light, and it is not really like the old man who only sees through everything indifferently.

The more you touch the more delicious age.

"Don't **** embarrass me endlessly." Xia Yuan coughed twice, sat on the other side of Tao Xiaodong, leaned closer to Tao Xiaodong, and said, "I have someone here."

Tao Xiaodong smiled and said "no".

"Don't be ashamed." Xia Yuan regarded himself as half an insider, "The one who brought me out compared you all, each of you looks like this."

Tao Xiaodong said, "Really not."

The people at the table booed and said: "If there is someone in the east, he will be taken out early, and you will make him feel poor? Or not."

Tao Xiaodong nodded and smiled slightly: "Yes, really not."

Alcohol paralyzes the nerves and can also sober up.

Sitting here, Tao Xiaodong is in front of his familiar brothers. Looking at them, Tao Xiaodong can see how he has come through these years step by step, and he can also see more clearly what kind of person he is.

People are fundamentally different from each other, and the gap is too great. If you are confused, you can't see clearly. Once people have desires, once they want something too much, they will naturally become confused.

Some things should not be yours, not yours. You really, really want it, but you don't follow your heart.

Don't be confused about emotional matters.

The alcohol was too high, and my mind was in a mess for a while.

The eyes are also messy, and the ears are also messy.

Tao Xiaodong drank a glass of wine and burned it down the esophagus from his throat.

"At the beginning, I said I was thinking about someone, but I said that people looked down on me, and I was not from the same way." Xia Yuan originally thought about Bai Yueguang when he drank, but now he was even more upset, "It's you who slipped away, it's a routine I."

Tao Xiaodong said "hmm" in a low voice: "I'm confused."

"Why are you so confused, you are the most **** smart!" Xia Yuan said to him, "You have grown your mind."

Tao Xiaodong then said: "The mind is still not enough."

There is a mess in my mind that cannot be untied.

Tao Xiaodong took the cigarette case from Xia Yuan's hand, took out one, lit it, and bit it. The smoke choked his eyes, and Tao Xiaodong narrowed his eyes.

"At the beginning, when I asked you if you were interested in someone, you didn't tell me the truth, and pretended to be 250,000 to 80,000 with you." Xia Yuan became more and more angry, "Let me stop talking, don't embarrass you. "

"I think you are shabby for me."

Tao Xiaodong didn't pay too much attention to what he was rambling on, and the few voices he heard came together and asked him, "When did you ask me?"

"Didn't I **** ask you at the beginning? At the beginning of the year!"

Tao Xiaodong was unresponsive. After thinking for a long time, he bit his cigarette and muttered, "Who did you ask?"

"Fuck and pretend," Xia Yuan exposed him, "Tang—"

"Excuse me."

Suddenly there was a voice at the door, and someone was ushered in by the waiter. He glanced around and landed on Tao Xiaodong, and walked in that direction.

Tao Xiaodong looked at him in a daze.

Tang Suoyan took a bunch of orange gerbera flowers, and there were people sitting on the left and right. He put the flowers on Tao Xiaodong from behind, and Tao Xiaodong reached out to pick them up a little slow.

"Happy birthday." Tang Suoyan bent over a little because of the movement of handing flowers, "There is an operation, I am a little late."

Tian Yi came to his senses, stood up and said, "Brother Xue, sit down!"

Tang Suoyan was not polite either, and took off his down jacket, wearing a shirt underneath, which came directly from the hospital. Putting the jacket on the back of Tao Xiaodong's chair, he said, "The place is not easy to find, and the navigation pointed me to the wrong way."

Xia Yuan said "Tang" in his mouth, unable to go up or down.

If the person in front of you doesn't know him, can you still not know him? When he was young, he was **** dazzling enough, but now at this age, his temperament is even more irrelevant. It's a little less youthful than before, and it's too many to count.

After Tao Xiaodong came back to his senses, he quickly took out the cigarette in his mouth, stood up and said, "Tang Suoyan, brother Yan."

There was still a bouquet of flowers on his body, and he almost dropped it when he stood up like this, so he quickly reached out to catch it.

Tang Suoyan took his glass directly, and there was half a glass of wine in it. Tang Suoyan smiled gently and said, "It's the first time we meet, let's have a glass of wine with everyone. I don't know how to drink, so I just use this glass to add to the fun, don't pick on me."

Tao Xiaodong wanted to stop him, but Tang Suoyan blocked his hand. When his hands were hanging down, Tang Suoyan squeezed his palm and drank the glass of wine.

It's all here, if you can't understand it, you're blind.

Xia Yuan said "Tang" in a flat tone, and then said again, greeting: "Doctor Tang."

Tang Suoyan finished his drink and sat in Tian Yi's position just now. He only knew Tian Yi and Da Huang, and he had no impression of the rest. Tao Xiaodong introduced him one by one, and Tang Suoyan smiled and nodded whoever he introduced.

From right to left, the last one arrived at Xia Yuan.

"This is Xia Yuan, Lao Xia." Tao Xiaodong said.

Tang Suoyan remembered the name, smiled and said: "I often hear Xiaodong mention it, so I see it."

It's hard to describe the feeling in Xia Yuan's heart.

Back then, he missed Tangning and was taken away by someone. Now his iron brother said that there was someone, and when he opened the door it was this again. Xia Yuan also laughed, and said while laughing: "We have a deep relationship."

In fact, Tao Xiaodong has not reacted too much until now. He has not told Tang Suoyan about eating here. Tang Suoyan suddenly appeared and his mind is numb.

He whispered, "How do you know you're here, Brother Yan?"

Tang Suoyan glanced at Tian Yi: "The younger brother told me."

Tian Yi sat next to him and heard it too. Yesterday, when Tang Suoyan went to their department, the two met. When Tang Suoyan asked him about this, he thought it was just a polite question. Who knew he would really come!

He knew that the two knew each other and had a good relationship.

But now with flowers and such an attitude, what does this mean!

Tian Yi looked at Xia Yuan, and Xia Yuan also looked at him. The two of them looked at each other across two seats, one more confused than the other.

Xia Yuan asked him with his eyes: What's going on!

Tian Yi mouthed back: Who the **** knows!
