Chapter 290 Birthday Wish
"Thank you for choosing to live!" After a long silence, her voice softened with gentleness, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet you and get to know you."
"I'm also very happy to have met you in this lifeless world." Lu Jinye slowly closed his eyes, solemnly saying, "Thank you, Wen Ni!"
She made him understand:
There are still many people in this world who are living their lives to the fullest, whether in the midst of war or in ordinary city life. The meaning of life has never been forgotten!
Therefore, he has no right to wallow in self-pity.
The road ahead is long and full of promise!
"It'll be midnight in a minute." Wen Ni glanced at her watch and suddenly said, "I almost forgot to mention, Lu Jinye, happy birthday today!"
The words fell.
The hands of the clock pointed to midnight.
"When did you guess it was my birthday?" Lu Jinye was surprised by her cleverness more than once.
She's always like that, incredibly smart!
"The only day I can think of that you dislike the most is your birthday." Wen Ni tilted her head and looked at him. "Little you, you've probably wondered more than once why you were born into this world! Your parents are busy with work, rarely see each other, and can't give you all their love. You can only bear the malice and threats that are always there!"
If existence is only for death, then he would rather have never lived.
This was perhaps Lu Jinye's only thought when he was a child.
"For someone who can struggle and crawl out of hell, everything will gradually get better." Wen Ni raised her hand and brushed away the stray hairs falling across his forehead. "With me here, you can always look forward to the moment of sunrise!"
His gaze was deep, as if carrying the heat of the blazing sun, burning upon her.
The heat made her fingers tremble, and she quickly said, "Don't overthink it. What I mean is, with me protecting you, I will never let you be on the verge of life and death again. This is also my way of showing my love and support for you..."
"This is also the promise you made to my grandfather, I know that." His large hand was already gripping her wrist, showing no intention of letting go!
That burning, unsettling gaze landed squarely on her lips, and her Adam's apple bobbed up and down with each swallow!
"You are the first person to wish me a happy birthday. My family knows that I never celebrate my birthday, so they all consciously avoid this day."
"Birthdays aren't something to be avoided, they're something to celebrate!" Wen Ni's right hand was still being held by him, so she could only rummage around in her pocket with her left hand, then frowned. "I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. How about this, do you have a birthday wish? I can help you fulfill it!"
"A birthday wish?" Lu Jinye uttered the four words awkwardly, slowly releasing Wen Ni's wrist, his eyes filled with expectation. "Then, can you stay here with me and watch the sunrise?"
She kept watching him and was touched by his emotions, but reason prevailed. "It will be very cold to spend the night on the mountain, especially since you are weak and injured. I'm afraid it's not suitable."
"It won't be cold, I'm prepared." Lu Jinye leaned forward, meeting her gaze at just inches, his eyes captivating. "You just need to tell me, do you want to watch the sunrise with me?"
"..."
The string that Wen Ni had been holding in her mind finally snapped.
With a soft sigh, she lowered her eyelids. "It's your birthday, so you get to decide. This is a one-time thing, and there won't be a next time!"
"good!"
Lu Jinye's smile was particularly eye-catching!
Simple and carefree like a child who has just eaten candy.
He snapped his fingers.
Wen Ni turned her head in confusion and saw that two tents had been set up in the pavilion at some point! LED lights were on inside the tents, and there were cooked snacks and even a few small bottles of wine on the low table!
Qin Yuan and Balen stood on either side.
After delivering the goods, the bodyguards, dressed in thick coats, turned and headed down the mountain path!
"You've come prepared way too thoroughly!"
The completeness of the arrangement made Wen Ni suspect that he had deliberately sent Baron to find her, then used the opportunity to recount his past to evoke her pity, and then, taking advantage of the situation, invited her to spend the night with him and watch the sunrise together!
"Bringing you up the mountain was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision, and all these things were prepared by me before we set off!" Lu Jinye had already leisurely sat down in the tent on the left, and even raised his hand to gesture for Wen Ni to come along as well!
His arrogant and calm demeanor was completely different from his pitiful appearance just now!
It's probably like a teacup dog turning into a wolfhound in an instant, right?
Wen Ni felt that her description was quite accurate.
She rolled her eyes inwardly, then took off her shoes and sat down.
"Are Qin Yuan and Balun coming down the mountain soon?" Wen Ni peeled a soybean and popped it into her mouth, then generously opened a bottle of wine.
“We’re not going down the mountain.” Lu Jinye shook his head, holding a bottle of warm milk in his hand. “The two of them will stay here tonight too.”
"You're going to let them stand on this mountaintop all night?" Wen Ni raised the wine to her lips but didn't drink. "Are you some kind of ruthless tyrant?"
"Who said they had to stand outside? There's a tent there too."
"??? Where do I sleep when I'm sleepy?"
"here."
Lu Jinye gestured towards the tent where they were currently located.
"And what about you?" Wen Ni glared at him.
“Of course I live here too.” The latter continued to slowly sip his warm milk.
"Lu Jinye, you want to share a tent with me? And you're saying it's such a matter of course?"
"What's wrong?" Lu Jinye raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly raised. "You can live with Song Yanfeng and the others, so what's wrong with living with me? Or is it that you treat me differently than you treat them, and you're afraid you won't be able to control yourself..."
Wen Ni slapped his mouth shut, saying, "Who taught you to be so shameless?"
"..." He blinked.
Soft, soft lips pressed against her palm!
Upon sensing that touch, she felt as if she had been electrocuted, and with a whoosh, she withdrew her hand!
Intentional?
Was it not intentional?
She suddenly felt that he was becoming increasingly difficult to understand!
"Fine, since you're not really keen on helping me fulfill my birthday wish, I'll have Baron take you down the mountain." Lu Jinye lowered his head, his tone betraying his disappointment. "Anyway, I've watched the sunrise alone for so many years, what's another ten or eight years of loneliness?"
"Wait a minute." Wen Ni's lips twitched. "Are you trying to morally blackmail me?"
"I didn't." Lu Jinye lowered his eyes, acting like a pretentious concubine in a TV drama. "It's clearly someone who broke their word and couldn't keep their promise, yet they're still trying to pin the blame on me?"
"...Alright! Stop making fun of me. It's just accompanying you to watch the sunrise! Watch! You have to watch!" Wen Ni reached out and tore off a chicken leg. "I want to see for myself what the sunrise you've been watching for so many years really looks like!"
"Okay." Lu Jinye's eyes crinkled with a smile. "Qin Yuan, open the wine!"
