Even the nightingale cannot escape

Chapter 419 Old Friend
"What are you doing? Don't you want to be friends with me?" Mu Ci retorted dissatisfied.

This was the first time he took the initiative to be friends with someone, but he didn't expect the other person's reaction to be like this.

He was really disappointed.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Du Jiarui said in a panic: "Of course I am willing, I just didn't expect you to be friends with someone like me."

His eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked up at the other person, feeling moved in his heart.

"Then we will be friends from now on." Mu Ci smiled back and continued to listen to the other person's story, his emotions rising and falling with the other person's voice.

"Where are you taking me?" Shen Chuan asked in confusion.

After glancing at Fu Huaichen, he couldn't help but continue to ask: "You'll know when the time comes."

Fu Huaichen held her hand and walked briskly.

He took Shen Chuan directly to the entrance of a restaurant and stopped.

"I checked in this store two days ago. It tastes pretty good. I want to take you over today to have a look." Fu Huaichen said with a smile.

He lowered his head to look at the other person and said with confusion: "You haven't really forgotten what day it is today, have you?"

"Huh?" Shen Chuan looked puzzled.

I tilted my head and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason.

Then he asked aloud: "What day is today?"

"It's your birthday." Fu Huaichen said helplessly, stretched out his hand and gently scratched the other person's nose.

"Ah." Shen Chuan finally reacted and tapped his head gently.

"I've been so busy lately that I even forgot about it."

"I also see that you have been too busy recently, and I want to take this opportunity to let you have a good rest." Fu Huaichen replied with a smile, holding Shen Chuan's hand and walking in.

After sitting down, Fu Huaichen took a bouquet of flowers from the waiter next to him and handed them over.

"Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Shen Chuan smiled back, feeling very good at this moment.

They have rarely had such a warm two-person world like now.

"Where else do you want to go later? We can have fun today." Fu Huaichen said softly from the side.

He also thought about planning all the itineraries, but then he thought, what if Shen Chuan didn't like it, wouldn't that be bad, so he decided to give Shen Chuan the choice.

Shen Chuan nodded and whispered: "Why don't we go to the movies? There is a movie I particularly want to see."

The two looked at each other, Fu Huaichen nodded, and looked at Shen Chuan with a smile.

When the meal was almost finished, Fu Huaichen finally took action again.

He took out the gift that had been prepared for a long time from his arms and pushed it to Shen Chuan. He said with a little nervousness, "Birthday gift."

Shen Chuan was stunned for a moment, picked up the black gift box in front of him, took it over and took a look, and his attention was immediately attracted.

"This is?"

"The cup I made myself some time ago was a little rough." Fu Huaichen smiled sheepishly, scratched his head, and looked at Shen Chuan with a nervous expression.

As for Shen Chuan's birthday gift, he never knew what would be better to give him.

Expensive gifts can be given at ordinary times, but for birthdays it is better to give something with special meaning.

"Is the picture above a family of three?" Shen Chu'an played with the cup in his hand with interest and said happily.

"Yeah, it's just that my painting skills are really bad." Fu Huaichen said with a smile.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Shen Chuan smiled back and put the cup in his bag with great care. Fu Huaichen looked at her appearance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just like it.

After finishing their meal, the two went to the cinema.

Shen Chuan had wanted to watch this movie some time ago, but he had never found the right opportunity.

She leaned on Fu Huaichen's shoulder, breathing slowly.

"This movie is really interesting, beyond my expectation." After leaving the cinema, Shen Chuan excitedly asked Fu Huaichen to talk about the plot of the movie.

"It's indeed very interesting!" Fu Huaichen's eyes fell on Shen Chuan's face and did not move away.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Chu'an noticed this and tilted his head to look at the other party.

"Nothing." Fu Huaichen shook his head.

Shen Chuan felt puzzled by this. Just as he was about to continue speaking, someone suddenly appeared in front of them.

"What's the matter?" Shen Chu'an looked over in confusion.

She happened to see the other person's eyes fall on her body, with a deep sense of inquiry.

Shen Chuan only felt a moment of discomfort, and then she felt Fu Huaichen silently protecting her.

"Sorry, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean any harm, I just look familiar to this lady." The other party smiled, and then said: "Do you know Gong Miaozhu?"

After Shen Chuan heard the name, his body shook suddenly and he looked up at Fu Huaichen.

Isn't this her biological mother's name?

Shen Chuan walked out from behind Fu Huaichen and looked at the man in front of him. He was a man who looked to be in his early forties and smiled kindly.

"Who are you?" Shen Chuan asked aloud.

"Gong Miaozhu has been a good friend of mine for many years. You look so much like her that I couldn't help but step forward to see if you were related to her. But if not, forget it." The other party didn't. Smiling good-naturedly.

Shen Chuan looked hesitant. Seeing that the person was about to leave, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Wait a minute, I do know Gong Miaozhu."

The other party turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise.

"really?"

"Of course it's true." Shen Chu'an nodded and said directly: "Can we go to a nearby coffee shop?"

The man readily agreed, and when he sat down in the coffee shop, he still couldn't hide his excitement.

"Excuse me, what is your relationship with Ms. Gong Miaozhu?" Shen Chuan raised his eyes and looked at the other party.

"My name is Yu Bowen. We are high school classmates and college classmates. Later we met and worked together abroad." Yu Bowen found a photo on his phone and transferred the phone to Shen Chuan.

Then he said: "If you don't believe it, here are old photos of me and Miaozhu, which should prove my identity."

Shen Chuan took the phone and looked at Gong Miaozhu who was smiling on the phone, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.

Then he raised his eyes to look at the other person, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What about you? What's your relationship with Miaozhu?" Yu Bowen suddenly asked.

"What do you think?" Shen Chuan asked.

"Looking at your age, I feel like you are her daughter, but I dare not confirm it." Yu Bowen looked at Shen Chuan with a bit of expectation.

In response, Shen Chuan did not deny it, but nodded in agreement.

She desperately hoped to get some news about her mother from the people in front of her.

"Really? It's great that Miaozhu still has a daughter alive." Yu Bowen said excitedly.
