Even on special occasions like their birthdays, Ji Yuzhi and Zhen Tian still have to go out under surveillance.
The journey did not proceed in the direction Zhen Tian had imagined.
Seeing that the route was exactly the opposite of the shopping mall, Zhen Tian anxiously tugged at Ji Yuzhi's sleeve.
"Wait, wait, wait, I've taken the wrong turn!"
Her eyes were fixed on the passing shopping mall, her face filled with anxiety.
"That's right."
"There's no shopping mall around here..." Zhen Tian unhappily let go of his sleeve: "Are you lying to me!"
"I only said I was going out to celebrate my birthday. Did I say I was going to take you to the mall?" Ji Yuzhi teased her.
"fraud!"
Zhen Tian clasped her hands together in front of her chest and turned her head away from looking at Ji Yuzhi's expression.
Ji Yuzhi chuckled and ruffled her hair.
One hour later.
The car stopped in front of a villa.
"Come to Qingyan's house?" Before Zhen Tian could finish her surprise, Ye Qingyan pushed open the front door and ran towards her in slippers.
"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!" Ye Qingyan opened the car door and hugged Zhen Tian.
"Where did you learn such an old-fashioned welcome speech?" Zhen Tian smiled helplessly as Ye Qingyan pulled and dragged her out of the car.
Ji Yuzhi opened the car door and got out.
"As long as it's not too old-fashioned and fits the atmosphere, that's fine." Ye Qingyan pulled Zhen Tian into the house: "You guys are too slow, we're getting so impatient."
"you?"
"yes."
Stepping through Ye Qingyan's front door, the atmosphere inside felt completely different.
The room was decorated with balloons and ornaments, and the music playing inside was particularly cheerful, turning into Happy Birthday as soon as Zhen Tian entered.
Yuan Yuan and Yang Tao pushed a three-tiered cake over.
While Zhen Tian was still in a daze, she was urged to shush her birthday wish.
Zhen Tian turned her head helplessly and glanced at Ji Yuzhi, who was standing behind her, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
"Hurry up and make a wish! The candles will burn out soon."
Ye Qingyan retorted.
"Oh, okay." Zhen Tian closed her eyes, clenched her hands in front of her, and although she was confused, she had many wishes: "My first wish is that we can always be as close as we are now."
Ye Qingyan and Yuan Yuanyangtao laughed heartily beside her: "We can grant your wish right now. May we be as close as we are now for the rest of our lives. Next wish."
"My second wish is that my good friend Taozi can find someone who loves her as soon as possible. Like Qingyan, Yuanyuan, and me, she can have a handsome boyfriend."
Ye Qingyan and Yuan Yuan exchanged teasing glances with Yang Tao, who blushed deeply.
"My third wish..."
Zhen Tian silently prayed that Zhizhi's suspension would end soon, and the truth would come out.
The third wish was something that couldn't be spoken aloud, so Zhen Tian silently recited it and then blew out the candles.
After everyone cheered for a while...
Ye Qingyan glanced back and forth between Zhen Tian and Ji Yuzhi, saying, "It seems that Brother Ji is no longer favored. He's not even in Tian Tian's wishes anymore."
Zhen Tian glared at her, then subconsciously looked at Ji Yuzhi's reaction.
The man remained nonchalant, as if Ye Qingyan's words had nothing to do with him.
"Let's cut the cake." He walked over and patted Zhen Tian's head.
"Okay." Seeing that he didn't react, Zhen Tian picked up the knife next to the cake and made a cut on the cake.
Whispering: "My third wish is for you."
Ji Yu smiled and said, "I know."
The little figure on the cake is still standing there perfectly fine; it's a chibi version of herself.
"We can't draw either, so we just extracted and combined elements from your comics to make this." Ye Qingyan took the little figure down: "Keep it as a souvenir. This piece of junk cost me almost 20,000 yuan."
"This? Twenty thousand!" Zhen Tian and Yang Taoyuan shouted in unison.
"Yeah, all handmade dolls are this price, didn't you know?" Ye Qingyan said, looking at you bunch of country bumpkins.
"Let's eat first, we can have the cake later." Lu Lin and Huo Qingming came out of the kitchen carrying food.
When Zhen Tian walked in, she realized, "We're having hot pot today!"
"Mmm." Ye Qingyan pulled her to sit down. "I know it's not good for you and Brother Ji to stay out too long, so let's eat at home, it's more comfortable. I ordered our favorite hot pot delivery. It's so convenient now, the delivery even brings the pot to you."
"Little Brother and Brother Huo are here too." Zhen Tian smiled.
"The men are in charge of helping out, doing things like simmering meat in the hot pot," Ye Qingyan chattered on as everyone else started eating.
"You didn't even wait for me." Ye Qingyan also joined the battle.
The hot pot meal somehow managed to dry up the broth three times amidst everyone's laughter and chatter.
After eating and drinking her fill, Zhen Tian's face gradually turned red with the steam from the hot pot.
After the meal, Ye Qingyan showed Zhen Tian around their decorations.
"Why did you suddenly think of doing these things?"
Zhen Tian pinched the little bear tied to the stair railing of Ye Qingyan's house, squeezing it repeatedly with delight.
"It was all Brother Ji's idea. We were just there to run errands." Ye Qingyan smiled meaningfully.
Zhen Tian was holding onto Ji Yuzhi behind her with her left hand. She only turned around when she heard Ye Qingyan's words.
Ji Yuzhi watched her from behind with a smile on his face the whole time.
"Thank you, Zhizhi..." Zhen Tian rushed over and gave him a big kiss.
"Your brother isn't dead yet, so you better watch yourself!!!" Lu Lin poked his head out resentfully, but Yuan Yuan pressed him back down.
Zhen Tian looked at Ji Yuzhi and chuckled.
"Sisters, Qingming and I have tidied up your rooms. Come up and take a look!" Ye Qingyan invited everyone upstairs.
Zhen Tian walked behind and pinched Ji Yuzhi: "You knew all along that we were going to stay overnight?"
"Um."
"So that bag contained a change of clothes."
"right!"
"You rascal, why didn't you say so earlier!" Zhen Tian glared at him, pinching the back of his hand with her index finger and thumb. "I thought we were going shopping!"
Ji Yuzhi didn't explain, he just smiled and looked at her.
After looking around the room, they went downstairs to share the cake, and then played board games all day long.
Zhen Tian won a fortune that day. Everyone tried different ways to lose to her and then gave her birthday presents.
She knew but didn't expose him; as long as she was happy!
She ended up drinking quite a bit. Ji Yuzhi didn't stop her.
Although there weren't any particularly big surprises for my birthday, being able to spend time with my friends and be carefree was enough.
Zhen Tian thought of this while she was feeling a bit tipsy.
Only after Ji Yuzhi carried Zhen Tian upstairs and settled her in did he close the door and come out.
A group of people gathered outside the door, all staring at him.
"Have you thought it through?" Lu Lin looked at him seriously with a solemn expression.
"I've thought it through," Ji Yuzhi replied.
Everyone's expressions were different, but Huo Qingming remained silent and just stared at him.
Ye Qingyan seemed to hesitate for a long time, struggling internally for a while, before finally asking, "Why tomorrow!"
