【47. Not a happy birthday】
But he is already here, and even if he wants to leave, he probably can't.
He looked at Zheng Xuhe, who was chatting with his boss about camel riding.
"It's already so late, this camel should not be able to be ridden." Cheng Qingxing walked to the front of the camel group and looked at Zheng Xuhe beside him, "I'm a little tired."
Zheng Xuhe didn't say anything. The two of them looked at each other across the camel. Finally, Zheng Xuhe spoke.
"Well, you're right." Zheng Xuhe gave in and waved to the boss, "But we're already here, why don't we go over there and take a look?"
"Okay." Cheng Qingxing was really a little angry, but he held it back.
The boss led the camel over and Zheng Xuhe supported him.
The camel slowly stood up. Cheng Qingxing held the saddle tightly and leaned forward slightly to maintain balance.
Following the rhythm of the camel, Cheng Qingxing gradually adapted to this unique way of riding.
The steps of the Bactrian camel are steady and powerful, and every step seems to be stepping on soft clouds.
The desert night is surprisingly quiet, with only the sound of camel hooves and the occasional wind.
In fact, Cheng Qingxing was the one who had never ridden a camel, so he was particularly uneasy when he first got on. Fortunately, Zheng Xuhe was behind him.
His hands were supporting him the whole time, and the pheromones made him feel at ease.
Cheng Qingxing raised his head and looked at the starry sky, and a sense of tranquility that he had never felt before surged in his heart.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and was about to speak when he heard a loud noise.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
With several loud bangs, fireworks began to bloom.
The first firework rushed into the night sky and instantly bloomed into a huge golden flower, illuminating the entire desert.
Immediately afterwards, more fireworks rose into the sky, and colorful lights intertwined in the night sky, forming a moving picture.
Cheng Qingxing looked at the fireworks. The camel slowly squatted down. Zheng Xuhe got off the camel and stood in front of him.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Qingxing couldn't keep the smile on his face anymore.
"Cheng Qingxing, happy birthday!"
With just a few words, Cheng Qingxing's smiling face suddenly froze.
Did you go through all this trouble just to say "Happy Birthday" to him?
He was ready to curse at the other party, but after thinking about it, he realized that Zheng Xuhe was doing this with good intentions, and if he continued to curse, then...
"Fuck, you're sick, aren't you?" Cheng Qingxing cursed without hesitation, "You went through so much trouble just to watch some fireworks, right?"
Zheng Xuhe was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and took out a box from his pocket.
A black brocade box. Although it was dark, Cheng Qingxing could still tell that the brocade box was a ring box.
"This is a birthday present for you." Zheng Xuhe opened the brocade box, revealing a diamond the size of a pigeon egg that was particularly eye-catching in the night.
Cheng Qingxing looked at the diamond ring in his hand, frowned and pursed her lips, raised her hand and then put it on the brocade box, and then closed the box.
Zheng Xuhe watched him close the brocade box, so he asked quietly, "Don't you like it?"
"There may really be a misunderstanding between us." Cheng Qingxing took the brocade box from his hand and stuffed it into his pocket. "I like money, but not all gifts are better the more expensive they are."
His words left Zheng Xuhe speechless. Cheng Qingxing stood there, the wind blowing through his hair, and he felt getting colder and colder.
"Zheng Xuhe, money is important, but so is the thought. If you didn't have the heart to prepare for me, there would be no need to go to so much trouble and waste so much money."
This was the first time that Zheng Xuhe and Cheng Qingxing had different opinions on something they "liked".
"Don't you like diamonds?"
Cheng Qingxing recalled the phone call between him and Bai Zhian.
He really doesn't seem to understand feelings, doesn't understand himself, and even less does he understand what love is.
"Zheng Xuhe, I like diamonds, but the way you gave it to me and the meaning of this diamond don't make me happy."
"If receiving a gift doesn't make people happy, then the gift is worthless, right?"
After Cheng Qingxing said this, he turned around and got on the camel, "Let's go. The wind and sand are so strong that it will hurt your face."
Zheng Xuhe nodded, put the brocade box in his pocket, and followed him onto the camel.
The camels walked back. Apart from the sound of wind and sand, the only sounds on the road were their heartbeats. It was so quiet and terrifying.
"What's the reason you don't like it?"
Zheng Xuhe's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear.
Cheng Qingxing finally realized that Zheng Xuhe was a blockhead and all his social skills were just for acting.
No, acting might be a talent. He has no worldly wisdom. He is just lucky to be the young master of Sanxingguang.
"The reason I don't like it is that it's too tiring and I can't bear it." Cheng Qingxing moved forward and subconsciously kept a distance from him.
In fact, Cheng Qingxing didn’t know why he didn’t like it. The seemingly romantic birthday gift actually seemed meaningless to him.
Fireworks and diamond rings, it was like I owed him the proposal.
But he still didn't like it.
Zheng Xuhe didn't say anything else. Cheng Qingxing thought he understood what he said. When he was about to scold him a few more times, Zheng Xuhe put his arm around his waist.
The gentle breath approached, and the Alpha's pheromones continued to hit him, causing him to freeze.
"Cheng Qingxing, happy birthday." Zheng Xuhe whispered in his ear, "It's my fault that I made you unhappy."
One apology and Cheng Qingxing instantly softened and felt much better. His subordinates realized that they were holding his hand.
Bai Zhian's words echoed in his mind, and he was wondering if there was really too little communication between the two of them?
Maybe, he did love himself, but he just didn't realize that Zheng Xuhe loved him.
"You always remember my birthday." Cheng Qingxing changed the subject, trying to ease the current atmosphere.
"Yeah." Zheng Xuhe responded in a low voice, "If Chen Lingyue hadn't come, we could have come here quickly and seen more scenery during the day."
This time, Cheng Qingxing understood why he had to come here to ride a camel during the day. It turned out that this was the reason why he lied to himself.
He also realized that what made him most angry was that Zheng Xuhe lied to him.
And the lie was actually very small, even well-intentioned, but it still made him very angry.
Just like, he thought that not telling Zheng Xuhe that he was an Omega was a very small lie, but it was not.
That was the starting point of their breakdown in trust and one of the triggers for their divorce.
Cheng Qingxing suddenly understood why their feelings were becoming increasingly distant.
This trip did allow him to discover many problems.
