Ye Huanyan and Ji Xiaoyue worked together to first drag Gu Sinian to the bonfire, and then they worked together to drag Ling Han up. The two men, who were almost 1.9 meters tall, lay side by side on the woolen blanket like corpses. They grabbed the beer bottles beside them and drank.
The two women standing at the side were stunned.
At this moment, they had become brothers in distress.
"Hey, you two should go and grill some chicken wings. We haven't eaten yet, but you're already drinking."
Ye Huanyan kicked Ling Han's calf and put her hands on her hips, showing a dissatisfied expression.
Ling Han sat up and grabbed her arm, causing her to stumble and fall onto the blanket. He didn't care that there were two people around, and he went straight over and kissed her on the lips.
The malty taste of the beer filled his mouth. Ye Huanyan blushed and pushed him down coquettishly. "You've drunk too much …"
Ling Han rested his head on his arm and looked at her with a silly smile.
He laughed until she lost her temper.
Gu Sinian watched from the side and his eyes were hot. He glanced at his wife. Ji Xiaoyue didn't notice his gaze at all. She looked at the barbecue and said, "Why don't I go and grill the chicken wings …"
Gu Sinian took a deep breath, and his eyes dimmed. He got up and brushed off the sand on his body. His voice was low and hoarse. "I'll go. You two stay here."
He picked up his clothes as he walked and put them on one by one. The expensive suit was crumpled from being thrown on the beach, and now he looked decadent when he put it on, like a destitute rich man.
Ye Huanyan urged Ling Han to help, and the beach returned to its previous warmth.
"After tonight, will the knot in your heart be untied?" Ye Huanyan asked.
"Maybe."
Suddenly, a high-pitched and sharp sound came from the distant sky. A beam of fire rushed into the night sky and exploded into colorful lights.
"It's fireworks …"
Ye Huanyan exclaimed, "Who's setting off fireworks over there?"
Ji Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment before she stood up.
One after another, the fireworks shot up into the night sky, illuminating the entire sky as if it was daytime. Flowers bloomed one after another, dazzling and gorgeous.
"Xiao Yue." Ye Huanyan tugged at Ji Xiaoyue's sleeve, indicating for her to look back.
Gu Sinian was still wearing his unkempt suit, his tie hanging loosely on his collar. He was holding a candy cake in the shape of a yellow kitten in his hand as he walked towards her.
"Happy birthday, Xiao Yue."
There was a chargeable candle in the middle of the cake. The design was realistic, and the flame was glowing brightly.
Ji Xiaoyue was a little confused. "Birthday? Is today my … birthday?"
She hadn't celebrated her birthday for many years. At first, she wasn't in the mood, but later, she didn't have the time.
This was her first birthday since she and Gu Sinian got married.
She subconsciously looked at Ye Huanyan, who was standing beside her.
Ye Huanyan quickly waved her hand and looked sullen. "Don't ask me. I don't know either. I've been too busy recently, and I don't remember your birthday."
Ji Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly became wet. She choked and said, "I haven't celebrated my birthday for many years. What are you doing?"
Gu Sinian held the cake and stood upright. "From now on, I'll celebrate your birthday with you every year. Make a wish, Xiao Yue."
Ji Xiaoyue awkwardly turned her head away and wiped her tears. "No, birthday wishes are all lies."
"Say it out loud. I'll definitely fulfill it for you."
The fireworks were still blooming in the night sky. The candles on the birthday cake were slightly lit, illuminating their faces. They both looked warm.
"Gu Sinian, I want to give birth to a child for you."
This was sincere and not forced by anyone. I want to give birth to a child for you to make up for all the regrets in your life.
"Okay."
On the way back, Ye Huanyan asked Ling Han about the birthday cake and the fireworks.
"He Chaoqun prepared it. He put it under the barbecue table early in the morning, and so did the fireworks."
Ye Huanyan suddenly understood. "I was wondering how an old-fashioned person like my brother could create something romantic."
Ling Han put his arm around her shoulder, and a deep look appeared in his eyes.
Late at night, the lights in the Four Seasons Villa's North Court were still on.
Ling Han knocked on the door of the guest room next door after taking a shower. He saw the suitcase on the floor. It was almost packed.
"You're leaving already?"
"If I don't leave, will I be an eyesore to you?" He Chaoqun squatted beside the suitcase, brushing his teeth, and said vaguely, "Don't think that I don't know you. You pretend to be generous, but in fact, you hate me."
"Oh?"
Ling Han crossed his arms, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile.
He Chaoqun stuffed the toothbrush into his mouth and took out the DSLR from the suitcase. He waved it at Ling Han, then stood up and began to stomp his feet. His voice was even more vague, and it took him a long time to understand.
"I asked you to take photos of me and my sister. What did you take? It's either blurry or just me. It's the kind that's so ugly that it can be used as an expression pack. "
Ling Han frowned and stared at the toothpaste foam that he threw everywhere. He took two steps back in disgust. "A good-looking person will never be ugly."
"Damn, don't push it. I haven't left yet. Maybe I'll stay for ten days or half a month if I'm happy."
Ling Han raised his eyebrows. "Really? If you don't hurry back, the design of the opera house will fall into the hands of someone else. "
He Chaoqun was stunned when he heard this. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He pointed the toothbrush at Ling Han angrily. "You plotted against me."
"You can say that I took drastic measures to deal with you."
"You despicable person. I'm going to tell Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu."
"Actually, if you really like Yan Yan so much, you wouldn't leave even if the design of the opera house fell into the hands of someone else, right?"
Ling Han stared at him expressionlessly.
He Chaoqun was still angry that he had been plotted against, so he turned a deaf ear to Ling Han's words. He stared at him with a livid expression. "Do I know you that well? Why should I discuss my personal feelings with you? "
"You graduated from Columbia University, majoring in architecture?"
Ling Han suddenly changed the topic.
He Chaoqun's expression changed slightly. He stared at him for a long time. "You already know? When did this happen? "
"Are you asking when I found out that you were Ling Zhan's roommate, or when I found out that Ling Zhan liked Yan Yan?"
"…"
"When you were taking photos at the church, Ling Han had the exact same pin on your camera bag. It was a custom-made commemorative pin for your graduating class. As for Ling Zhan's feelings, I've known for many years."
"How can you be so sure that he still misses you?"
"Everyone in our family is devoted."
Even for Ling Dongming, he had only loved Jiang Meilan in his entire life.
He Chaoqun stared at him in a daze. Suddenly, he felt his mouth go numb.
After a while, he rushed into the bathroom like a gust of wind and spat out the toothpaste foam. When he came out again, his face was clean and his eyes were more serious.
"Okay, I admit that I came to check on Ah Zhan's behalf. When I was in college, I knew that he had a woman he liked for a long time. Later, I found out that this woman was actually Sister Yan Yan. I wanted to help him see if he still had a chance."
"You want to try it yourself?"
"Uh, can't I?"
"Childish."
After saying this, Ling Han turned around and left resolutely.
"Hey, who are you calling childish?" A stomping voice came from the room.
