May is He Xizhou's birthday, and it is a chance for the six former members of Aurora to get together again.

It has been nearly a year since the limited group aurora disbanded. After the limited contract expired, the six members, except He Xizhou and Ming Yuechen, signed a new contract with Fenghua and each found their own way.

Xu Qiongzhi's musical ability has been significantly improved since he entered college, and his professor discovered his potential in opera singing. He went abroad for exchange and study for several months and just returned not long ago.

Li Jingfei released his first solo album. His popularity has increased instead of decreased after his solo career, and he has become a leading figure among current traffic stars.

Qiu Shuang received a good youth idol script because of his superior appearance and personality. The TV series became a big hit after it was released, and he also successfully transformed into an actor.

Ming Yuechen did not continue to live in front of the camera, but retreated behind the scenes to become the CEO amid the bursting tears of fans. It was not until then that his friends knew how rich this man was - in the past few years, he secretly accumulated billions of assets through stocks and various investments, and established his own entertainment company with a huge and sophisticated network of relationships. The young CEO Ming was tough and sharp-sighted. Ming's Entertainment had only been listed for less than a year and had already taken over some old companies. Many people predicted that it would not take long for this young man to create an entertainment empire that no one could match.

As for He Xizhou, he seems to have returned to the state before participating in the talent show. He writes songs, participates in various international dance competitions, and releases an album when he is interested. If he finds it troublesome, he will write it and share it with fans online. He also invested in Mingyuechen's company and became a major shareholder with a controlling stake of half. Occasionally, when he feels like it, he will learn management experience from Mingyuechen. I wonder if he plans to change his career and become a CEO in the future.

His name means popularity, and any Weibo post he makes can become a trending search, but he is usually too lazy to do business. Basically, he just does whatever he wants and is extremely willful.

As for Ye Ying, she was the quietest one in the past six months.

He devoted himself to study, not caring that reducing exposure might reduce his popularity. Since he was admitted to the B City Film Academy and won the Best Newcomer Award at the Film Festival for his role as Song Yingbai in Dark Fire 3, he has received many scripts, including some from famous directors who even claimed to have tailor-made leading roles for him. This should be something a new actor would never want, but Ye Ying was not overwhelmed by this honor.

He read every script story and sought the opinion of Uncle Mai, and finally chose a costume movie script, "Nine-story Tower".

He successfully passed the audition and got the role of the male lead Xuan Zhao, and then filmed for three months, and just wrapped up a few days ago. Fortunately, the time was right, otherwise he might not be able to make it to He Xizhou's birthday.

At 6:30 in the evening, Ye Ying took a taxi to the agreed restaurant room. Xu Qiongzhi, Li Jingfei and Qiu Shuang were already there. The three of them smiled when they saw him. Xu Qiongzhi immediately jumped up and rushed over: "Yingying, I missed you so much!"

Although there are people posting messages in [6a Scenic Area] almost every day, it has been nearly three months since the last gathering of six people. Ye Ying reached out to greet him and said with a smile: "Then hug for a while longer."

Qiu Shuang asked him to sit next to her and poured him a glass of lemonade: "Is the filming finished? How is it?"

"It went pretty smoothly overall." Ye Ying said with a smile, "And this is my first time filming a costume drama, so many of the experiences are quite new."

"I remember the man is Lin Xuan." Li Jingfei asked, "How do you get along?"

He vaguely remembered that when the cast of "Dark Fire 3" was announced, it seemed that some of the people who scolded Ye Ying online were fans of Lin Xuan. At that time, Lin Xuan failed to appear in "Dark Fire 3", and now he plays a supporting role to Ye Ying in the new movie. He was afraid that people would have some conflicts.

Ye Ying smiled when she mentioned Lin Xuan: "He is a tsundere who says one thing but means another. He looks cold on the outside, but he actually has a very good personality. We are already familiar with each other."

They were all from City B. Yesterday, Lin Xuan had asked him on WeChat in a cold and reserved tone if he wanted to go to the comic convention together today, but he regretfully declined, saying that he had to celebrate his friend's birthday.

Lin Xuan first sent him an emoticon with eyes rolled up to the sky, and soon added: Happy birthday to your friend.

It's so twisted and cute.

During the chat, the fifth person arrived. Xu Qiongzhi immediately stood up in a dramatic manner, bowed and knelt to greet him: "Mr. Ming is here, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person! I'll get your bag for you!"

Ming Yuechen put the gift box on the table. He was wearing a light-colored casual shirt. He looked completely different in front of his friends and subordinates. He was totally different from the swift and decisive CEO in the company. He pressed Xu Qiongzhi's head and sighed, "You shouldn't sing opera. The entertainment industry will lose you."

Li Jingfei poured him a glass of water: "Are you busy lately? Your voice sounds wrong."

"I've been in a meeting all afternoon, and my throat is about to smoke." Ming Yuechen drank half a cup of water to moisten his throat. "I was afraid of being late, so I ran here without even a sip of water after the meeting. How come Jie He hasn't arrived yet?"

"He's recording a show today." Qiu Shuang looked at the 6a WeChat group, "But he said he was leaving half an hour ago, so he should be here soon."

Less than half a minute later, the protagonist pushed the door open and came in. He Xizhou was wearing a black shirt, a suit jacket on his arm, and his hair was styled. He looked like he had rushed in from the show.

Qiu Shuang whistled: "The protagonist is finally here!"

"Busy man," Xu Qiongzhi habitually retorted to him, "You are even busier than our President Ming? You are almost starving to death after recording the show till this hour!"

"The program was recorded at around six o'clock. I don't know how those students knew it was my birthday today, so they pushed a cake cart and said they wanted to give me a surprise." He Xizhou said as his eyes met Ye Ying's. The two hadn't spoken to each other since they met, but the heat in their eyes said it all.

He Xizhou put his suit jacket on the back of the chair, then lifted Xu Qiongzhi up from the chair and said, "Change seats, sit next to me."

"I won't!" Xu Qiongzhi hated him so much. He was always bullying her. "I want to stay with Yingying!"

He Xizhou stopped talking nonsense with him. He lifted him up with his hands and put him on the chair next to him.

Xu Qiongzhi: “…”

Damn it, he is almost 1.80 meters tall, why is he still powerless to resist He Gou! !

He Xizhou sat down and dragged his chair towards Ye Ying: "Is the filming finished?"

"Yeah." Ye Ying poured him a glass of water, "I came back the day before yesterday."

"Has Uncle Mai given you a new book?"

"It's not that urgent. I should be able to rest for a while." Ye Ying said, "Besides, I can't miss too many classes in school. I'll go back and catch up."

He Xizhou looked much more relaxed: "That's fine."

Qiu Shuang suddenly sighed sadly: "It's obviously a movie about six people, but four of them don't have names."

"But it was a mistake." Xu Qiongzhi immediately added, "We took time out to come and celebrate someone's birthday, but that person just ignored us."

"Anyway, we've brought the gifts, so why don't we go?" Even Li Jingfei said this in a fake and chaotic way. In an instant, the birthday boy's status plummeted and he became the center of everyone's condemnation.

But no matter what they said, everyone knew it was a joke. The six of them had always had a good relationship, but He Xizhou and Ye Ying were undoubtedly the closest. A few months ago, Ye Ying was filming a movie in another city, and He Xizhou even flew to visit her. He stayed there for a week and almost delayed his schedule. Uncle Mai called him 800 times and urged him to come back reluctantly.

Only Mingyuechen didn't say anything this time, he just sat there leisurely drinking tea.

It has been almost a month and a half since He Xizhou last visited the set. When the two of them first looked at each other, their eyes were almost tearing. If there hadn't been other people around, they would have been in a state of rage.

His three former teammates are amazing. I don’t know if they are too stupid or too straightforward. They didn’t notice anything was wrong for so long.

Knowing that her friend was joking, Ye Ying still felt a little uncomfortable, but He Xizhou was thick-skinned enough to stand up and pick up the bottle: "That's enough, I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment, okay?"

The dishes came one by one, and everyone started to eat and chat. Now everyone was in different fields, so they had a lot of topics to talk about. In addition, they hadn't seen each other for such a long time, so no matter how much they said, they were very happy in their hearts, and drank a lot of cups.

Ye Ying had not touched alcohol at dinner parties since that time when he got drunk and made a fool of himself. He nudged the person beside him with his elbow and said, "You're drunk."

After all, they are all famous people, and it is not good to get drunk outside.

"Don't worry." He Xizhou tilted his head to look at him, his eyes were clear, and he said in a low voice with a smile, "It's not easy to see you once, how can I not get drunk."

Ye Ying's face flushed, and she immediately turned her head back in an attempt to hide her true colors. This guy is still so talkative.

Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled up. Then she peeled a few shrimps for He Xizhou and quietly placed them on his plate.

The party lasted until after 10pm. Most of them had work to do the next day, so they agreed to meet again next time and then dispersed. Ming Yuechen and Li Jingfei were picked up by their assistants, while Xu Qiongzhi and Qiu Shuang took a taxi along the way. Qiu Shuang said, "Ye Ying, your school is close to He Ge's apartment, so you two can take a taxi too."

Ye Ying agreed, and told everyone to tell them in the group when they got home, and then she got into a taxi with He Xizhou.

The two sat in the back seat. He Xizhou reported a district address, and the driver responded and started the car.

Ye Ying's school was closer, but he never mentioned it. Ye Ying poked He Xizhou's thigh and asked quietly, "Why don't you take me back to school first?"

"Why go back to school?" He Xizhou held his hand and squeezed it as if to punish him. "It's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me?"

It was not enough for her to finish saying that. She leaned over to the other person's ear and complained: "Is there a boyfriend like you?"

Ye Ying stopped talking and let him hold her hand obediently, her face slightly red.

Half a year ago, they officially became a couple.

And it was Ye Ying who proposed it.

They did not get together immediately after Aurora disbanded. He Xizhou seemed willing to respect all his thoughts and wishes. He did not urge him or "force" him. He would only occasionally jokingly ask when he could give him a legitimate status.

Although her career is still on the rise, Ye Ying doesn't want to look back any more.

He didn't want to disappoint his fans, but he also didn't want to disappoint He Xizhou. The person who was once so arrogant had been patient and yielded for him for so long. Ye Ying didn't feel proud at all, only sad and distressed.

He didn't want to let the other party suffer any grievances, so he prepared quietly for a long time, holding a large bouquet of roses to ask He Xizhou: "Are you willing to be my boyfriend?"

When He Xizhou came back from a competition in the United States, he gave her a bunch of sunflowers. The other party said at the time that she wanted brighter flowers, so this time he gave her the reddest roses and said sweet words that he had never said in his life.

He Xizhou seemed to be totally unprepared for his sudden attack. He was stunned for a long time before taking the bouquet. His voice changed slightly when he spoke. He coughed as if to cover up and asked with a smile, "Are you finally willing to give me a name?"

Ye Ying was actually very nervous, and urged: "So are you willing?"

"I do." He Xizhou held the flower and kissed his lips, saying softly, "I dream of saying I do."

The taxi arrived at the district gate, He Xizhou and Ye Ying got out and entered the apartment.

This apartment has a good environment, high privacy, and is very close to Fenghua Division. He Xizhou used to live here when he was not at home. He almost never came back after the group was formed, but the house was always cleaned. After the group disbanded, he moved here again, which was convenient.

Ye Ying had been here before, and the combination lock at the door had recorded his fingerprints. It was pitch black inside, and Ye Ying was about to raise his hand to turn on the light at the entrance, but He Xizhou had already pressed his hand against the wall from behind, accurately capturing his lips in the dark.

He had been holding back his desire since the first glance they had made, and he could no longer hold it in. He pressed her against the wall and started to tease her lips, sucking them until they turned bright red.

"You didn't say a few words to me all night, and you're planning to go back to school." He Xizhou pinched the boy's waist hard, "You have no conscience."

Ye Ying was bullied and wronged, and felt a little aggrieved: "You've been recording the show for a whole day, I was afraid that you would be tired."

He Xizhou put his palms down, supported his buttocks, and lifted him up with a little force.

"Then let me show you if I'm tired."

＿＿

He Xizhou had been busy all day and hadn't taken off her makeup yet, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Did some other things by the way.

Two hours later, he came out of the bathroom refreshed. Ye Ying was wrapped in a bathrobe and held in his arms, not even a finger was needed.

He Xizhou entered the bedroom, put the person on the big bed, turned on the light and went to the closet to get a pair of underwear.

Ye Ying had come to stay with him before, so he always remembered to prepare suitable clothes in advance so that she wouldn't have to wear his clothes.

Ye Ying lay on the soft bed without thinking, her thin body wrapped in a pure white bathrobe, with a shallow curve between her waist and hips, and her legs exposed outside the hem, white and smooth, like jade.

He Xizhou leaned over and kissed him on the cheek: "Shall I help you put it on?"

Ye Ying hummed lazily, feeling too sleepy to open her eyes.

He Xizhou grabbed his leg, but suddenly found a bruise on his knee, which was particularly glaring on the smooth skin: "Why is it bruised?"

He felt his heart out and asked, "Did you knock it during the filming?"

Ye Ying looked at him speechlessly and kicked him with her foot, with a bit of anger in it.

"Kneeling beside the bathtub."

He Xizhou reacted and felt a little distressed, but he couldn't help but feel agitated, so he pressed forward and covered the person under his body, and pecked him lightly on the lips: "Why didn't you say it just now? It hurts just looking at it."

Ye Ying snorted and buried her face in the soft pillow.

What's the point of saying it... Who can stop that momentum?

He Xizhou was so soft-hearted that he lowered his head and kissed him again, not as fiercely as before, but tenderly and lingeringly, from the corner of his lips to his cheek and then to his ear, and whispered, "Why are you so obedient?"

She was so well behaved the first time. She was so nervous that her whole body was stiff, but she let him do whatever he wanted. She said okay no matter what and didn't say it hurt when asked. It was still He Xizhou who kissed his eyes and found that his eyes were wet.

From then on, He Xizhou was very gentle every time and tried his best not to hurt him. But this time, it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time and he wanted to be cruel to him, so he couldn't help but went too far.

"Do you have classes tomorrow?"

Ye Ying was almost asleep. She thought about the schedule slowly for a while and said, "Well... in the afternoon."

"Then sleep a little longer in the morning." He Xizhou covered the person with a quilt, held Ye Ying in his arms, and turned off the lights.

The full and warm sleep in his arms was so comfortable. Compared to those moments of intoxication, it brought him a longer sense of peace and satisfaction. He Xizhou pondered in the dark for a while, and couldn't help but whispered, "Are you asleep?"

The person in his arms, she leaned her face against his chest: "What..."

"You often go out to film now, so it's not convenient to live in the school dormitory. Sometimes you go out to participate in activities, and it's already 11 o'clock when you get back. Don't your roommates see you?"

Ye Ying's head was heavy, and her thinking was several beats slower than usual. She asked dully, "Hmm...what are you thinking?"

He Xizhou made up several far-fetched excuses and finally threw out the real picture.

"Baby," he whispered in Ye Ying's ear, kissing her soft earlobe and coaxing her, "Move out and live with me."
