Sui Xia

Chapter 49 Emergency Rescue

At seven o'clock in the evening, when Lin Tao came back from the studio, he was surprised to see a sumptuous dinner.

"What day is it?"

Wu Ying and Lin Suixia looked at him silently, with smiles on the corners of their mouths.

In their expressions, Lin Tao suddenly thought of something, and when he saw the cake next to the TV, his expression suddenly became ugly.

Lin Suixia didn't expect this scene at all, but he thought that Lin Tao couldn't accept this kind of surprise, so he hurriedly said:
"Dad, happy birthday."

Lin Tao's expression became more serious when he heard her words: "Is this your idea?"

Before Lin Suishia could speak, Lin Tao said annoyedly, "When is my birthday? Let's move out."

After Lin Tao finished speaking, he stopped looking at the table where Wu Ying had been busy for two hours, and walked towards his bedroom.

Lin Suixia looked at Wu Ying uneasily, and found that her expression was not as relaxed as before.

"Old Lin, I made this." Wu Ying said.

Hearing her words, Lin Tao stood at the door of the bedroom, but did not go in after all.

"Over the years, you have been reluctant to celebrate your birthday. I know the reason, but today is your 60th birthday. After a long time, Sui Xia has come back, and our family will celebrate together. I have prepared the meal, at least you have eaten Sleep again." Wu Ying's tone was almost begging.

Lin Suixia was stunned. Lin Tao didn't want to celebrate his birthday. Is there another reason?

But her words did not move Lin Tao, Lin Tao was silent for a moment, just when Lin Suixia thought he would turn around, he heard him say again:
"What's the difference? Age is just a number, whether it's 50 or 60, I'll say it's not enough." After Lin Tao finished speaking, he opened the bedroom door.

Seeing Lin Tao's appearance, Lin Suixia lost his temper instantly.

"Dad, if you don't want to miss it, let's just let it go. Mom made such a dish with great difficulty. Even if you don't celebrate your birthday, you still have to have dinner." Her tone was a bit harsh, and she was kind, and she couldn't bear to be treated like this by him. .

Old stubborn is old stubborn.

Wu Ying tugged at her clothes, signaling her not to quarrel with Lin Tao.

"It's okay, but it's nothing, your dad may be too tired today."

"If there is a reason, you should take a bite after the meal is ready. It's fine if you don't express your thanks, it's like we did something wrong." Lin Suixia still felt that Lin Tao's actions were too much, and had quarreled with him before The genes can no longer be suppressed.

"Xiao Xia, don't say that, it's because I didn't think carefully."

Wu Ying wanted to comfort Lin Suixia, but Lin Tao, who walked into the bedroom, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked out again.

Lin Suixia thought that he was going to quarrel with her, but saw him sitting directly at the dinner table.

"Let's eat." Lin Tao's tone was actually very calm, not at all like he was angry just now.

Seeing this scene, Wu Ying hurriedly pulled Lin Suixia to sit down together: "Okay, eat, eat."

The three started to eat, Lin Tao just kept adding food, no one said a word, the atmosphere was more silent than ever.

Lin Suixia bent down and took out a gift box from under the chair and put it in front of Lin Tao.

"I just bought this. It was supposed to be your birthday present, but it can't be refunded on your birthday, so let's treat it as an ordinary present."

"I see that the watch in your hand often does not move. If you don't like it, just leave it."

After finishing speaking, Lin Suixia didn't even look at Lin Tao, and continued to eat with her head down.

Lin Tao looked at the gift box in front of him and couldn't help being surprised.

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Lin Suixia gave him a gift.

In the past, when their father-daughter relationship was good, Lin Suixia was young, so naturally he didn't have money to buy gifts.Later, they kept arguing, and since it was not his birthday, he naturally had no chance of receiving gifts.

Even for Lin Suishia's birthday these years, he never prepared a gift for her.

But he never thought that Lin Suishia would prepare a birthday present for himself today.

Looking at the packaging of the gift box, it should still be an expensive watch.

Lin Tao subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist, it was too old to be repaired.

Wu Ying also saw the watch that Lin Suixia gave her, but her gaze also fell on the old watch on Lin Tao's wrist, with a worried look on her face.

Lin Suixia didn't know, but how could she not know, the watch in Lin Tao's hand cannot be replaced by any expensive one.

"Okay." Lin Tao put away the gift, although he didn't bring it on the spot, but the word "good" was a response to Lin Suixia's gift.

"Let's eat a piece of cake, and buy everything." Lin Tao said suddenly after eating.

Neither Wu Ying nor Lin Suixia thought that Lin Tao would say such a thing. They looked at each other, and Wu Ying hurriedly opened the cake.

But when Lin Tao said he ate a piece of cake, he really only ate one piece.

Before eating the cake, he didn't sing the birthday song, and he didn't blow out the candles to make a wish. Lin Tao's 60th birthday ended like this.

After Lin Tao picked up the gift and went back to his bedroom, Lin Suishia and Wu Ying asked her while cleaning up:
"Mom, you just said that my dad doesn't want to celebrate his birthday. What's the reason?"

Hearing her words, Wu Ying froze for a moment.

"Oh, it's nothing. You've been tired all day too, go and rest too. I'll clean it up." Wu Ying prevaricated and went to the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Suixia looked at Wu Ying's back, and then at the bedroom where Lin Tao and Wu Ying were next to each other. She always had a feeling that there was something between Lin Tao and Wu Ying that she didn't know about.

Lin Suixia lay on the bed after taking a shower, some messy memories popped up in her mind.

She remembered that Lin Tao and Wu Ying seemed to have slept in separate rooms as long as she could remember. Although Lin Tao and her quarreled constantly because of letting her learn purple clay pots, Lin Suixia had never seen him and Wu Ying because Argue about any one thing.

And she could clearly feel that it was not because of their love that they never quarreled, on the contrary, they didn't quarrel because they were strangers.They were never as close as other couples are.

At first, Lin Suixia thought it was all because of Lin Tao's personality. He was rigid and serious, and Wu Ying was not that enthusiastic and active.But now that she is an adult, she can feel the sense of distance between Lin Tao and Wu Ying from the way they get along.

Suddenly, the sound of WeChat interrupted Lin Suixia's wild thoughts.

"Sister Sui Xia, are you asleep? Are you free tomorrow? Emergency assistance!" Jiang Xi sent several pitiful emojis.

Lin Suixia replied: "What's wrong? Could it be that your eldest sister found out about your dating?"

"I'm really not in a relationship! Tomorrow the school will hold a parent meeting, can I trouble you to go to school and help me hold the parent meeting? (Poor, poor)"

"Why don't you let your eldest sister and Jiang Mo go? Are they free tomorrow?"

"I failed the exam this time. If my elder sister and my brother find out, they will definitely take my skin off!"

"..."

"Please, sister Sui Xia, I know you are the best. Help me this time, (wronged and wronged)"

Lin Suixia looked at the emoji on her phone and could imagine Jiang Xi's pitiful appearance.

"Ok."

"Yeah! I knew Sister Sui Xia was the best, huh huh huh! (kiss, kiss)"

Early the next morning, Lin Suixia went out early in order to go to school to pretend to be Jiangxi's parents. As soon as she stepped out of the main room, she saw Lin Tao getting up earlier than her and walking to the gate to go to the studio.

Lin Suixia didn't say hello to him, but when she accidentally saw his hand opening the door, she found that he was wearing the watch she gave him yesterday.
