The originally dark study was instantly lit up with candles. Liu An Chaohe and others stood aside holding lanterns and candles, while Song Yushu stood in the middle holding a large plate.
On the plate was a large pastry that Lu Zhixing had never seen before, with a few thin candles stuck on it.
Song Yushu looked at Lu Zhixing with a smile as beautiful as a flower. At that moment, just like the study room was lit up, Lu Zhixing's heart was also lit up.
"What are you doing..." Lu Zhixing walked in and asked in a low voice.
"This is a big cake I made to celebrate your birthday! Happy birthday~" Song Yushu handed the plate to Lu Zhixing, "Quick, quick, close your eyes, make a wish, and then blow out this candle."
Song Yushu sometimes made some strange movements, but Lu Zhixing enjoyed them very much. He obediently closed his eyes and made the only wish in his life.
Then he opened his eyes and blew out the candle under Song Yushu's guidance.
He reached out and took the plate from Song Yushu's hand, and asked her with a smile, "What kind of strange method is this?"
"I saw those barbarians on the street do this before. This is a birthday ritual that only the closest people can perform!" Song Yushu made up a story and pulled Lu Zhixing into the study, pointing to the small round table that had been set up temporarily. "You must have eaten nothing just now. Come! Let's have a birthday feast together!"
There weren't many dishes on the small round table, only four or five plates, but they were all home-cooked meals for ordinary people.
Lu Zhixing put down the plate in his hand, pulled Song Yushu over, and hugged her tightly. His warm breath sounded in Song Yushu's ears, low and seductive, "Thank you, Ah Shu."
When Liu An Chaohe and Liu Bai saw this scene, they quickly put down the lanterns and candles in their hands and left the study.
Liu Bai even closed the door carefully.
Song Yushu reached out and gently patted Lu Zhixing on the back. "You're welcome. Today is your birthday. Don't think about anything else."
Although she did not stay in the palace, she knew the attitude of the Queen and others towards Lu Zhixing without the servants reporting to her.
After a whole night, no one came to sincerely congratulate him. They all had their own ulterior motives, especially Lu Zhixing's relatives. Song Yushu gave Lu Zhixing his warmth with a distressed look.
Lu Zhixing buried his head in Song Yushu's shoulder, breathing in her scent. If it weren't for her, he really didn't know what the meaning of living like this would be.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yushu said softly, "Ah Xing, I made all this food myself. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Lu Zhixing then let go of Song Yushu, patted her head, nodded, and said, "Okay."
This night was Lu Zhixing's most unforgettable birthday, and his light illuminated his world.
The food was heated up again, and the two of them ate together. After eating the big cake made by Song Yushu, Song Yushu asked Liu Bai to bring some wine, and insisted on having a drink with Lu Zhixing.
Lu Zhixing had never seen Song Yushu drink, but he was afraid that Song Yushu would have a headache the next day after drinking, so he wanted to persuade him, but was blocked by Song Yushu.
"Today is your birthday. How can such a great day be without wine?" Song Yushu raised his head towards Liu Bai, "Go, get some wine!"
Liu Bai glanced at Lu Zhixing who nodded silently, and had no choice but to obey the order and leave. When he brought the wine to the door, he was stopped by Chao He and Liu An.
"What kind of wine did you get?" Chao He originally wanted to go with Liu Bai to get it, but was worried about being exposed in front of others because they came through a secret passage.
Liu Bai shook the bottle in his hand and said, "This wine is not strong, it's just right."
Lu Zhixing is a victorious general on the battlefield, and drinking is like drinking water.
Liu Bai had forgotten this, but Song Yushu hadn't. Chao He rolled his eyes helplessly after hearing this and said, "Our master can't drink such strong liquor. Go and get some fruit wine instead."
"What's the point of drinking such a sissy wine?..." Before Liu Bai could finish his words, Chao He and Liu An glared at him fiercely. In the end, he could only go and find some fruit wine in a dejected manner.
Lu Zhixing took the bottle, smelled it, and confirmed that it was a low-alcohol fruit wine. Then he nodded to Liu Bai with satisfaction.
Liu Bai let out a sigh after walking out of the door, and bowed gratefully to Chao He and Liu Bai.
Song Yushu took the bottle from Lu Zhixing and poured a glass for both of them. "Come on! Don't go home until you're drunk tonight!"
Lu Zhixing couldn't persuade her, so he had to let Song Yushu finish the whole bottle. With rosy cheeks, she kissed Lu Zhixing, "Such a handsome man is mine! Mine!"
Under the candlelight, Song Yushu looked like a fairy who had fallen into the human world, with Lu Zhixing in her big eyes.
Lu Zhixing pulled Song Yushu onto his lap, hugged her, and took advantage of her drunken state to ask the question he wanted to ask the most, "Then why don't you want to marry me?"
But she didn't expect that this sentence was like a switch that turned on Song Yushu. She struggled violently and was about to stand up. "Being good-looking is one thing, but being imprisoned in the backyard is another! Sister, you know it all! No matter how good-looking a man is, he can't seduce me!"
It's true that even when drunk, his words and actions are consistent. Lu Zhixing sighed lightly. If he really ascended to the supreme position as Song Yushu wished, then Song Yushu would definitely have to become the queen and be imprisoned within the palace walls.
So he secretly thought of a way to allow Song Yushu to be free to do what he wanted, but while he was planning for the future, Song Yushu didn't seem to have thought that far ahead...
He looked at the alluring Song Yushu in front of him, his throat moved, and he scratched her nose helplessly, "You, you, you are just irresponsible and can only tease people!"
"Tsk!" Song Yushu hugged Lu Zhixing's face and slapped him twice. "You're so arrogant just because someone says you're handsome. How can you talk like that?"
Only Song Yushu would dare to slap Lu Zhixing in the face like this. He helplessly let Song Yushu rub his face and said lovingly, "Yes, yes, it's my fault."
But he didn't expect that after he said this, Song Yushu suddenly looked at him and started crying loudly, "My fault! My fault!"
"It's because I'm obsessed with beauty and power that I haven't been able to avenge my godfather for so long! Godfather! I miss you so much!"
Just as Lu Zhixing was frantically wiping Song Yushu's tears, she suddenly suppressed her voice and shouted a few words in a low voice. Lu Zhixing's hand that was wiping her tears froze in mid-air.
"But how can I avenge you? The Queen Mother is Ah Xing's grandmother, and Old Master Lin is Ah Xing's grandfather. Why! Why is it so difficult?!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, godfather. I'm so happy now that I feel inexplicably sorry for you every day!"
