Chapter 70 Birthday Party (Part 2)

The bedroom was dim, the curtains were drawn tightly, no light came in, and there was a small, dim light on at the head of the bed.

The light fell on the ground, illuminating a small area.

Yuan Qing opened the curtains, and light rushed into the room, illuminating everything around.

A familiar cool fragrance floated in the air.

Zhu Yanshi quickly scanned the room and saw various awards covering one wall, as well as competition trophies on the cabinet next to it.

Every detail shows that the owner of this room is an excellent person.

Yuan Qing stood in front of the desk, opened the drawer, and rummaged through it. He touched a few gold medals and threw them into the trash can next to him without even blinking.

There was no change in expression on his face, he even looked a little numb.

Only after he took out the small medicine box did he close the drawer and hand the medicine box to Zhu Yanshi.

“Just throw those away?”

Zhu Yanshi sat on the bed, looking up at Yuan Qing's desolate eyes that seemed to be looking at him from across the ice and snow.

"It doesn't matter. I've already secretly thrown away several batches. They're all piled up in the house. There's no room for them."

When Yuan Qing said this, there was not a trace of boasting in his tone, and there was even a hint of disgust, and his calm eyebrows were slightly wrinkled.

He sat down next to Zhu Yanshi.

Neither of them spoke, and there was only the slight sound of Zhu Yanshi rummaging through the medicine box.

Floating in the air, it doesn't make people feel noisy, but rather gives people a comfortable feeling.

The items in the medicine box are all medicines for common injuries and bruises, and disinfectants, but there is nothing for reducing swelling.

Zhu Yanshi closed the medicine box and ordered a bunch of fever-reducing patches from takeout.

“This can be used in emergencies and is very convenient.”

"How do you usually deal with this? Let me help you quickly..."

“Nothing.”

Yuan Qing kept looking at Zhu Yanshi's drooping eyelashes with gentle eyes.

"As long as there is no bleeding, no treatment will be done."

"I'm treating the wound, but I'm afraid others will see it..."

After saying these words, he didn't feel sad or heartbroken. On the contrary, he just felt happy.

Because he saw the obvious heartache in Zhu Yanshi's eyes.

This is indeed a good idea.

See, the barrier between them has been eliminated, hasn't it?

Zhu Yanshi felt sorry for himself, and the discomfort they had been feeling during this period would disappear because of this little bit of distress.

Even if I get hurt a little...

Yuan Qing didn't feel at a disadvantage at all.

Zhu Yanshi didn't respond, he just sighed.

"Why is he angry again?"

"Today is my birthday, and I want to pick up my mom."

Yuan Qing forced a bitter smile on his face.

The two people's breathing intertwined, and Zhu Yanshi's mind was full of complicated thoughts.

Before, perhaps no one longed for family affection more than he did.

In the world of the past, as an orphan, without the protection of his parents, he suffered from the cold eyes of the world.

At that time, he always felt that perhaps if he had parents, he would not live such a life.

But now, after seeing Yuan Qing's family, his thoughts suddenly changed qualitatively.

Not everyone is qualified to be a parent.

Not all families are happy.

"Ashi, I know what I did before was excessive, but I was too scared."

Yuan Qing slowly lowered her head, her fingers hanging on her legs entangled with each other, bringing out the entanglement and complexity in her heart.

"I may seem to be living a happy and fulfilling life, but in reality, there is only a tiny bit of love left in me."

"This love may be easy for others, but I think you should be able to understand my feelings. That's all I have."

"If I don't seize the moment, that little bit might disappear, and then I'll really have nothing left."

Do you understand what I mean?

My world has been controlled and arranged by a pair of hands, and every step I take from now on is not what I want to take.

My life is bleak. I can only keep moving forward like a mechanical puppet without slacking off. No one cares whether I am tired, hard-working, or happy or not.

You are the only light that appears in my life. Your light is always radiating, illuminating me and others at the same time.

But I long for you to be my sun.

Yuan Qing raised his eyelashes, and a desire to survive slowly revealed in his pupils that were as dull as dead water.

He needed to be saved, like a drowning man longing to be pulled ashore, to breathe fresh air, to feel the warmth of the sun...

The wind blew in from the window, bringing with it the scent of nature and brushing against the boy's hair.

The awkwardness that Zhu Yanshi had been feeling in his heart for some time was completely relieved at this moment because of his soft-heartedness.

Yuan Qing just felt insecure. He only had one friend, and if he had to give up on him now...

Sometimes, when others place high hopes on people, they will inexplicably feel a strong sense of heroism emanating from within.

He didn't think he could save the world, but at least what he needed to do now was to save one person, someone close to him.

"I don't blame you."

Zhu Yanshi turned around and hugged Yuan Qing, running his fingers through her black hair and giving her a firm and warm hug.

"This family is terrible. When you graduate, we will go out and make our own way."

"Get out of his control."

"Two more years..."

Yuan Qing's eyes were on the boy's shoulder, his lips were on the boy's collar, and he could feel the fatal temptation emanating from there.

The fragrance made him a little dazed, with a thousand thoughts in his mind, but in the end he calmed down.

He couldn't rush anything, couldn't be impulsive anymore, he had to take his time, he had to make good use of his status as someone close to him, and then proceed step by step...

The takeaway arrived. Zhu Yanshi went downstairs to get it and tore off two cold patches and put them on Yuan Qing's flushed cheeks.

Her fingertips brushed against the man's earlobe, bringing a blush.

The two of them had nothing else to do in the room, so Yuan Qing simply took out a red gift bag from the drawer of the bedside table next to her.

The gift bag looked familiar. It was given to the other party by Zhu Yanshi this morning.

"When did you bring the things up here?"

"You've been looking down at your phone, and I'm worried someone might touch my things..."

Yuan Qing's lips curled up childishly, with two white cooling patches on her face, her hair hanging slightly messy in front of her forehead, but her eyes were bright.

"Can I open it now?"

"Take a look."

Zhu Yanshi nodded.

The man in front of him suddenly and carefully placed the gift bag on the desk next to him and took a nervous breath.

I took the box out of the gift bag and it looked strangely familiar.

When I opened the box and saw a familiar watch inside.

“…”

Yuan Qing's pupils contracted and his mind went blank.

He had secretly seen this watch in the dormitory before and mistakenly thought it was a piece of junk given by those bastards when he was pursuing Zhu Yan.

Unexpectedly...

Yuan Qing's eyes felt sore and a fog covered his eyes.

This thing is not cheap, it is sold in limited quantities.

Zhu Yanshi didn't have much money in his pocket at all, but he was even willing to spend most of it to buy himself a birthday present!

"Why did you buy me such an expensive watch?"

"Are you laughing at me?"

Zhu Yanshi stood in front of the desk, took off the watch and put it on Yuan Qing.

"This watch can't even compare to the one you gave me before. I don't make much money right now. I'll buy you a more expensive one for your birthday next year."

The boy spoke casually, his warm fingertips pinching Yuan Qing's hand, and the temperature was transferred through his fingertips.

It disrupts people's heartbeats, and after expanding violently, it accelerates to a crazy level.

Yuan Qing stared straight into Zhu Yanshi's eyes, letting him put the watch on his wrist, his eyes red.

When her eyes swept over the clothes Zhu Yan was wearing, she pursed her lips and tears fell down her pale cheeks.

"...You don't even have a decent piece of clothing yourself, and you save money to buy me a watch..."

The more he spoke, the more heartbroken he felt. The man's body trembled violently. He reached out and hugged Zhu Yanshi's waist, burying his face in the other's abdomen.

"Are you stupid..."

Zhu Yanshi didn't expect to make people cry.

In his impression, Yuan Qing has always been strong and stubborn. No matter how she was tortured by her family, she would never shed a tear.

But just because of the gift I gave, tears started to flow.

It made him feel more guilty...

"I don't have any particular requirements for clothes. Buying a gift won't break the bank. I've been taking on a lot of outsourcing lately..."

Zhu Yanshi reached out and patted the other person on the back, his tone pretending to be relaxed.

“But you work very hard.”

Yuan Qing's voice was still choked.

Growing up in a loveless family, interests, rights, and face all come before love.

Yuan Qing didn’t know how to like someone or love someone, but he knew that he felt sorry for Zhu Yanshi.

He didn't want the other person to have a bad life because of him, and he didn't want Zhu Yanshi to live such a tiring life every day.

He tried his best to provide some help within his ability, and would take the initiative to help blow dry hair and wash clothes when the other person returned to the dormitory after working for most of the day.

She would offer him juice before bed and secretly buy some expensive luxury goods and mix them into the pile of junk in Zhu Yanshi's wardrobe and on his desk.

He didn't think Zhu Yanshi should live such a life. Such a wonderful person like him should be a rose nourished in love, not a wild flower beaten by wind and rain.

Yuan Qing shed tears silently for a while, then raised her hand to wipe away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.

I looked down at the watch on my wrist, and the more I looked at it, the more I couldn't let it go.

This was the most precious and thoughtful gift he had received in the past twenty years.

The relationship between them has never been one-sided, but has always been a two-way journey.

It's just that Zhu Yanshi may not have discovered his own feelings yet...

Yuan Qing's depressed mood obviously lifted at this moment. He stood up, grabbed Zhu Yanshi's wrist and took him to the cloakroom.

An exquisite box was taken out from a drawer. When the box was opened, there was another brand new watch inside.

It looked more expensive than the one he had given me before.

"You didn't like the watch I bought you last time, so I bought you a new one..."

"Look, we both think the same way. We're so in sync."

In fact, the real purpose of buying the watch is to suppress the competitor who was previously mistakenly thought to be a rival in love.

Now I feel really slapped in the face.

I used to disdain it, but now I can’t let it go…
