"Little Xi …"

Shen Ming Xi tightly shut her eyes, until the sound of light music gradually came from her surroundings, and Shen Dong Zhe's call for her.

Ye Ci opened her eyes. The restaurant wasn't lit up like she had expected, but it wasn't as dark as it had been just now.

The flickering candle flame, followed by a gust of light breeze, blurred on Shen Dong Zhe's handsome face.

Tonight, he was no longer dressed in casual clothes that matched his elegant and handsome appearance from the previous day. Instead, he had changed into a suit that was handsome enough, with a white shirt collar.

Just now, the firefly like colored lights had been switched on on on all four sides of the dining hall. Other than that, on the table closest to Shen Ming Xi, countless candles and flowers had been placed in a big heart-shaped shape.

"Dongzhige!" After a long period of depression, Shen Ming Xi finally found her voice.

Isn't it Shen Dong Zhe's birthday?

Why were there only the two of them here, and even the waiters who had brought her in at the beginning were nowhere to be seen?

"Little Xi." Just as Shen Ming Xi was still immersed in the strange scene in front of him, she suddenly took out the hands she had behind her back.

"Little Xi, can you be my girlfriend?"

Caught off guard, Shen Ming Xi took two steps back in fear.

Shen Dong Zhe's expression changed, he did not care about the flowers in his hands, and quickly wrapped his arm around Shen Ming Xi's waist.

"Are you okay?" He never expected that such a romantic atmosphere would scare Shen Ming Xi. Shen Dong Zhe had an apologetic face as she looked at Shen Ming Xi who was still in his arms and asked worriedly, "Where are you hurt?"

The feeling coming from his waist was so unfamiliar. After Shen Ming Xi steadied himself, he quickly bounced away as if he had been electrocuted.

"Yes. "I'm sorry!" This time, Shen Ming Xi did not dodge. As if he felt that the movements just now were not very good for Shen Dong Zhe, he apologized profusely.

Of course, Shen Dong Zhe had not expected that Shen Ming Xi would have such a huge reaction, and even hold the large bouquet of roses in her hands. At this moment, he didn't know whether he should take them back or continue to give them to Shen Ming Xi.

"That, I just wanted to say …" Shen Dong Zhe laughed awkwardly. The originally romantic atmosphere, under the embarrassment of the two people, suddenly changed.

Actually, he had already said what he should have said. Shen Ming Xi quickly realized that Shen Dong Zhe still had something to say, and his skinny body suddenly trembled lightly. There's no need to say anymore! "

If it was a month ago, Shen Ming Xi would have felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

But there was still Si Tu Ye in front of his. She and Shen Dong Zhe were already completely impossible!

Looking at the slightly injured look in Shen Dong Zhe's eyes, Shen Ming Xi felt a burst of guilt. He immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to match it anymore: "Dongzhige, I'm very sorry, but … "I really can't …"

Even coming to participate in Shen Dong Zhe's birthday celebration was something that she had strived to request from Si Tu Ye. If Si Tu Ye were to know, he would also have to confess to her in such a manner …

"I'm sorry!" His heart thumping hard, Shen Ming Xi suddenly bent his waist and bowed to Shen Dong Zhe. With a red face, he said solemnly: "Dongzhige, I have let you down.

In the past, she had also thought about Shen Dong Zhe, if one day she could confess to him.

However, in her imagination, there was only her heart that was on the verge of jumping in joy. There had never been such a feeling of fear and fright before.

Shen Ming Xi took a deep breath, she did not look at the fire red rose anymore, in the dim restaurant, she turned and left!

"Little Xi!"

Under Shen Ming Xi's low apology, Shen Dong Zhe's heart, which was filled with anticipation, had already heavily sunk. She never expected that Shen Ming Xi would actually turn around and leave like this, and after being slightly startled, he quickly followed as her long legs caught up to Shen Ming Xi.

If it was a moment ago, Shen Dong Zhe would still dare to unscrupulously pull Shen Ming Xi's hand, but he was suddenly rejected. He did not even have the courage to make such a small move.

Her slender hands gently rubbed against the hem of her clothes, causing Shen Dong Zhe to deeply feel a sense of helplessness from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly being stopped, Shen Ming Xi's face turned white, after hesitating for a second in front of Shen Dong Zhe, he bowed to him again.

"No!" Shen Dong Zhe extended a hand, but clenched it into a fist. His handsome and young face was filled with awkwardness: "Little Xi, that's not what I meant, even if … Even if you reject me, can't we be friends? "

Only god knows how much courage Shen Dong Zhe had to dare to do such a thing tonight.

However, since Shen Ming Xi rejected him, it seemed like she did not hesitate at all.

At the same time that his confidence was torn apart, he really didn't know how uncomfortable it would be for her to leave like this!

After all, he had been a neighbor for so many years.

At his age, it was normal for tender feelings to arise.

"Yes, we're friends." Shen Ming Xi lowered her head, finally letting out a sigh of relief and nodded.

Since she could not be friends with Shen Dong Zhe, she asked herself sincerely. If she could be friends with him, she would also wish for nothing!

Hearing Shen Ming Xi's words, the smile returned to Shen Dong Zhe's mouth in a second.

After all, he was a well-bred man. Even if his confession failed, Shen Dong Zhe would quickly return to normal.

Looking at Shen Ming Xi, he said with a smile that just happened to be the right one, "Since we're friends, and it's my birthday tonight as well, there's no one else to accompany me for my birthday and dinner, okay?"

Shen Dong Zhe's voice was light and relaxed, as if nothing out of his expectations had happened. The smile on his face was the most infatuated curve that Shen Ming Xi had ever seen.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Ming Xi finally nodded fiercely.

Shen Dong Zhe reserved the entire restaurant for the candlelight dinner.

The candlelight dinner continued despite the failure of the confession.

The young and handsome man and the elegant and slender woman were seated at the two sides of the long table. The air was filled with the fragrance of lilies.

Everything was so beautiful!

Unfortunately, Shen Ming Xi did not see all of this beauty in her eyes. Although the atmosphere was extremely romantic, during the time it took to eat a meal, she still kept looking down at her watch.

Until the end, when Shen Dong Zhe saw her anxiousness, he did not waste any more time on the dinner and quickly ate the steak on his plate. His slender body pushed away the chair, stood up and took out the car keys from his suit pocket.
