Chapter 354: Birthday

Chapter 354: Birthday

Pei Xu preempted Shen Xi’s question and glanced at her before saying nonchalantly, “He said he couldn’t get through to your phone.”

Shen Xi took the phone to a somewhat quiet place and stood at the window looking at the lights outside. “Hello.”

Fu Qingxuan said, “The information you gave me belongs to Li Yuan?”

Shen Xi’s eyebrows knitted slightly. “Is there a problem?”

Fu Qingxuan replied, “There’s no problem with the report, but rather the person is the problem! My eldest brother doesn’t allow me to get involved with him. If my brother finds out, I’m dead.”

Shen Xi asked, “I thought Second Brother knew him?”

Fu Qingxuan said, “So what if he does, can’t they be enemies? My big brother suffered a stifling loss because of him in the past. Anyway, I can’t take this case.”

Second Brother and Li Yuan were not close because they had only met a few times. They shared interests, but they were not necessarily friends.

Shen Xi asked, “Is there no room for negotiation?”

All this while, Shen Xi had been focused on Li Yuan’s leg injury too. Li Yuan was very cooperative and did a thorough checkup with Situ Zhangyou.

She then forwarded the examination report and various samples to Fu Qingxuan, seeking his advice if there was a better treatment plan.

Li Yuan’s injuries could be treated with acupuncture and medical massage, supplemented by drugs, but it must wait until his health had improved before the conditioning stage of rehab.

As for the outcome, Shen Xi was not very sure. They could only take it one step at a time. Since Li Yuan had been delaying treatment for so long, the treatment’s effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Fu Qingxuan said, “Then tell me what’s your relationship with him? Why do you want to heal his leg?”

Shen Xi answered, “He saved my life. If it’s putting you on a spot, then send back the samples.”

Fu Qingxuan paused for a long time before he said, “I can take a look, but you have to promise me one thing.”

Shen Xi asked, “What is it?”

Fu Qingxuan said, “I want you to come over for the summer and work for me as an assistant.”

Shen Xi replied, “Okay.”

Fu Qingxuan did not expect her to agree so quickly because of this Li Yuan and felt a little annoyed, but he was happy nonetheless. “You can’t back out! I’m risking getting killed by my brother to help you!”

Shen Xi said, “I would never.”

“Then I’ll give up my life for this cause…”

“Thank you.”

When Shen Xi returned to the private room, she was forced to sing a love duet with Song Wenye.

Pei Xu sat on the sofa with his long legs propped up on the table in front of him. His fingers were tapping on the table as he gazed intently at Shen Xi who was singing.

Li Yuan.

The Head of the Li family.

How many people did this girl provoke? How did she get involved with Li Yuan? Pei Xu had only heard that name briefly from her call with Fu Qingxuan.

Li Yuan was not a good person and was a real devil. Everyone in the Capital was afraid of him.

Pei Xu had never met him personally, but some time ago, he met one of his assistants called Xuan Yuan, who he wanted to hire for himself.

When Song Wenye came over for a drink, Pei Xu pulled her close and raised his eyebrows. “You’ve met Toffeecito’s Dad right? Do you know what’s his name?”

Song Wenye shook her head, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She sat next to him and asked, “Do you know?”

Pei Xu showed her his angry fist. “I don’t know sh*t!”

‘If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking her…’

When Song Wenye first met Toffeecito’s Dad, she was so excited that she called Pei Xu to say how handsome the man was.

However, when Pei Xu enquired about him, she said that she dared not stare too closely and only caught a glimpse of him.

Song Wenye rolled her eyes and ran over to Shen Xi for another love duet. She was also curious about the man’s name, but Xixi was tight-lipped and she could not get the slightest information from her.

Nowadays, Shen Xi would smile more whenever she was in class, which drove the class crazy because their Sister Xi finally smiled at them.

Qi Xiu was set to release his album on Sunday, March 18th.

Li Yuan’s birthday was on Thursday, March 15th.

That morning, Shen Xi bought some candies and gave a handful to each person in the International Class, but she still had a bag left.

It was fruit candies with vibrant colored wrappers that looked festive.

Song Wenye watched as she took the fruit candy and was handcrafting then asked her, “Are you finally dating Toffeecito’s Dad? Is this your wedding candy?”

Shen Xi was focused on the craft and simply answered, “No.”

Song Wenye did not believe her and saw the candies tied into a necklace by Shen Xi. She was more puzzled. “Who are you giving this to? I don’t recall you having any little cousins in your family.”

Shen Xi threw her a sidelong glance and did not conceal the contempt in her eyes. “Return to your seat.”

This was a birthday gift for Li Yuan. Who said that only children could eat candy? Everyone here was eating candy anyway.

After two classes, Song Wenye went over to Shen Xi again. When she saw the beautiful candy necklace, her eyes lit up. “OMG! What kind of magical hands do you have?! How can it look so good? Even luxury high-fashion necklaces aren’t as pretty as this!”

Shen Xi slapped her hand and warned her. “Don’t touch it.”

Song Wenye seemed to have understood something. She leaned in closer and looked at her ambiguously. “Oooh… I know, is this for Toffeecito’s Dad? Does he like candy?”

‘This couple is just too sweet!

She went ahead and pictured the two beautiful people feeding each other candies and felt like she was about to get diabetes.

Everyone in the class knew that Shen Xi had a crush. After Song Wenye shouted Toffeecito’s Dad, they all gathered around for the gossip.

They knew about Toffeecito’s Dad because whenever Shen Xi rejected someone, her reason would be that she had someone she liked. In the beginning, they assumed that it was an excuse to reject them.

Later, they learned that there was really such a man, but no one knew who he was. However, based on Song Wenye’s description, he was an incredibly handsome man with an amazing temperament.

Shen Xi looked at everyone around her and thought that she had been too nice lately that they got so bold. She extended her hand to Song Wenye and said, “Bring me my two-feet blade!”

The crowd scattered instantaneously and returned to their seats.

That afternoon, Shen Xi slipped away after the second period and went to the dessert shop to get a cake.

Shen Xi was not involved in the baking but only decorated it with fondant.

The workers at the dessert shop watched her work her magic. After an hour’s work, she finished decorating a beautifully crafted cake that they could not stop looking at.

The cake was like a 3D sculpture. There were so many intricate details and it was perfect.

It was a cute and lovely cartoon sculpture. The sunlight penetrated the floor-to-ceiling windows in the house where a handsome man was sitting on a sofa reading a book.

Behind the man, a cute girl and a kitten were playing on the carpet.

As she left the bakery, she went next door to an underwear store to buy a set of red-colored men’s underwear and socks.

It was Li Yuan’s 24th birthday and that meant he completed two cycles of the Chinese zodiac. According to Chinese customs, one should wear red on that day to eliminate disasters and ward off evil.

Shen Xi did not know his size so she asked for the largest size and attracted weird looks from the store attendant. When she felt the attendant’s ambiguous gaze, her cheeks flushed.
