Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Do you know the person who sent the flowers?
The warm air in the car should have made people drowsy, but Chen Luan felt inexplicably nervous at this moment.
In such an atmosphere, the necklace was hung on the chest, and the pendant fell three inches away from the heart. The metal strap on the wrist pressed against the beating pulse, feeling slightly cold.
When Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling retreated, holding their breath, the feeling of slight suffocation also receded like a tide.
As if it had never appeared.
Jiang Ling reached out, brushing his fingertips across the sapphire heart. Then he leaned back in his chair, folded his arms, and crossed his legs. "You are not allowed to take it off without my permission. Do you understand?"
Chen Luan pinched the cool pendant, remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Jiang Ling: "So domineering?"
"Yes. You have any objections?" Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow, looking like a bully: "Your opinion is invalid. If I find out you took it off secretly, you're finished."
"If you don't take off his, then you can't take off mine either." Jiang Xun tugged at Chen Luan's sleeve, pursed his lips, and raised his clear eyes to look at Chen Luan: "Otherwise, it would be unfair to me."
Two furry puppies.
One looks fierce but is actually weak, the other one is well-behaved and cute.
Chen thought randomly.
"Alright, alright." Chen Luan raised his hands helplessly in surrender under the double pressure of his brothers, his tone filled with a doting that he himself was not aware of: "I promise, I will not take off these two gifts without your permission, okay?"
They are just two pieces of jewelry, so I just wear them. It’s no big deal.
"That's more like it." Jiang Ling nodded with satisfaction. He drank a cup of hot milk tea in one gulp, opened the car window, accurately threw the empty bottle into the trash can on the street, and clapped his hands: "Go home!"
"The destination of this trip is home. Sit tight, driver Chen is here to serve you wholeheartedly." Chen Luan fastened his seat belt, responded in a casual tone, and started the car.
Chen Luan drove more smoothly than Gemini expected, not at all like a novice driver who had just obtained a driver's license.
Soothing music was playing in the warm car. Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling were talking in low voices. The warm temperature condensed into mist on the windows, and then turned into water marks, winding out traces, blurring the colors of the colorful neon signs outside the window.
While waiting for a long traffic light, Chen Luan suddenly looked out the window, a smile spreading across his lips: "Oh, it's snowing."
At first it was just a misty snow of salt grains, but by the time the light turned green, the snowflakes falling on the car windows had already taken standard shapes.
"Do you have any plans for the next few days?" Chen Luan suddenly asked.
"I'm planning to go back to my grandfather's place. What's wrong?" Jiang Xun looked at Chen Luan.
Jiang Xun's leg has completely healed. Knowing that school is on vacation and his grandfather is also talking about it, he and Jiang Xun bought plane tickets for the next morning.
Chen Luan pulled out three flashy tickets from his pocket. "It's nothing serious. There's a new amusement park that just opened in Hongfeng District. I bought three tickets. It's a holiday now, so I'd like to take you there to relax."
Chen Luan lowered his eyes to look at the pendant on his chest and the watch on his wrist. A smile spread across his lips. "It's just that you interrupted me just now and I almost forgot."
Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling's impression of the amusement park still remains from many years ago, when their mother was still in good health.
Because I was too young at that time, many of my memories are now vague.
"Amusement park?" Jiang Ling was sitting in the back row, playing games with headphones on. Without even looking up, he subconsciously said, "No. It's a place only children like to go."
Just as Chen Luan has a strange obsession with having Jiang Ling call him brother, Jiang Ling also has an obsession with becoming a "mature adult".
And the obsession is very deep, even deeply rooted.
"But my brother is the birthday boy today!" Chen Luan immediately frowned and looked aggrieved.
Jiang Ling: “…”
He looked up at Chen Luan's eyes in the rearview mirror. Those beautiful eyes were smiling, and there was no trace of grievance in his tone.
Jiang Ling, realizing that this person was completely acting, and not acting with any sincerity at all, rolled her eyes and said, "Can you act like this, Chen Luan? This seems so insincere."
"Well, I sincerely invite my dear brother Jiang Ling now,"
Chen Luan paused, glanced at Jiang Xun, who was sitting next to him, and chose to be fair: "He and Jiang Xun, can you accompany your brother who has been a social slave for several months to go to the amusement park to relax?"
Then, under the silent gaze of the twins, Chen Luan tilted his head slightly and added, "Please, please?"
He didn't know how good he looked in the eyes of Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling at this moment.
The young man in the bright orange windbreaker casually placed his hands on the steering wheel. The warm air in the car gave his delicate face a light blush. His beautiful gray eyes, like glass beads, curved into a crescent moon, flashing with shimmering colors.
It looks like a big cat acting coquettishly.
Jiang Ling abruptly turned her head away to avoid Chen Luan's gaze, a blush on her earlobe. She opened her phone and continued playing the game, but her fingers were actually just swiping randomly. "Stop, stop, stop. I promise, okay? This is just the first time, and it won't happen again."
After a pause, he added, "I only agreed to this because it was your birthday. It's not because I wanted to accompany you, nor because I wanted to go."
As he was speaking, Jiang Ling shut up.
…
It seems like the more I describe it, the worse it gets.
He pursed his lips in a somewhat self-deprecating manner.
Unhappy.jpg.
Jiang Xun looked up at his foolish brother, sighed almost imperceptibly, and then asked Chen Luan, "Which day do you want the park tickets?"
If there is a flight conflict with their trip to grandpa's place, they can change their flight.
"It's valid for a week. It depends on your schedule." Chen Luan said.
"Then tomorrow, is that okay, Jiang Ling?"
"Whatever."
So that was settled.
Chen Luan drove back to Jiang's house. When he saw the bright lights in the villa from afar, he actually felt a sense of peace.
Unconsciously, he seemed to really start to regard this place as his home.
Jiang Xun fell asleep leaning against the back of the chair. Chen Luan opened the car door and got out. Without the heater in the car, the cold snow particles carried by the cold wind blew into Chen Luan's collar.
He shivered with cold, and his fingers quickly became cold.
Chen Luan thought about it, raised a slightly malicious smile at the corner of his mouth, opened the passenger door, and under Jiang Ling's puzzled gaze, he put his index finger on his lips and made a "hush" sound, then accurately and quickly put his cold fingers into the collar of the sleeping Jiang Xun.
“!!!!!”
The sudden chill made Jiang Xun open his eyes abruptly, and he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the hands that were causing trouble at his neck.
What he saw was Chen Luan's eyes, which were so close to him. There was snow on his eyelashes, and the white mist from his breath fell on his face. It was so close that he could almost smell Chen Luan's breath.
With just a little force in his hands, he could pull the defenseless person in front of him into his arms.
The fingers holding Chen Luan's wrist tightened slightly. Jiang Xun blinked slowly, exhaled softly, and finally let go of her hand: "Brother, you are so childish."
"We're home, why aren't you awake yet?" Chen Luan straightened up, brushed the snowflakes off his shoulders, and looked down at him: "That's why I asked you to wake up first."
"Thank you. I'm much more awake now. Sober enough to finish a math test right now."
Chen Luan asked Jiang Xun and Jiang Ling to go back to the house first, parked his civilian SUV in the basement of Jiang's house which was full of luxury cars, and then staggered into the main house in the falling snow.
Before entering the house, a message suddenly came on my phone.
Boss Zhou: It should be home by now. Did you get the flowers? There's a surprise inside, check it out. Happy birthday.
Did Zhou Pei send something?
I didn’t see it.
With a hint of doubt, Chen Luan pushed the door open and entered the house. When he looked up, he saw that in the dim living room on the first floor, only a string of star-shaped lights was lit next to the sofa.
The two younger brothers were sitting on the sofa. There was a birthday cake with lit candles on the coffee table in the middle.
Jiang Xun was holding a slightly funny red and blue striped birthday hat in his hand.
"What are you looking for, Chen Luan?" Jiang Ling crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you just waiting for us to find a sedan chair to carry you to the door?"
"No." Chen Luan shook his head and walked towards the sofa: "Did you see..."
"Flowers, right?" Jiang Xun interrupted Chen Luan.
"Hmm?" Chen Luan raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xun: "How did you know?"
"At noon, the housekeeper called me and said that a lot of flowers suddenly appeared at the door and asked me what to do with them. I asked her to clean them up."
Jiang Xun caught Chen Luan's eyes in the darkness and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know the person who sent the flowers?"
For some reason, Jiang Xun's face clearly didn't show any negative emotions, and his tone was calm, but Chen Luan somehow sensed a hint of danger.
It was like a cold feeling crawling up my spine like a snake.
He shook his head subconsciously: "No...well, just clean it up."
"I thought it was a gift from the management. I'm wondering why the management has such poor taste this year. Why would they send a bunch of tacky red roses when it's not a festival?"
Jiang Ling chuckled and suddenly leaned closer to Chen Luan: "Hey, Chen Luan, are you messing around outside again?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Luan shook his head to get rid of the inexplicable panic in his heart and pushed away Jiang Ling's head.
If the bouquet Zhou Pei sent was indeed a bouquet of red roses with obvious meaning, then it means that he has not given up on her.
Well...it's better to deal with it.
"No best." Jiang Ling leaned back on the sofa, with his arm resting on the back of the sofa behind Chen Luan.
From a distance, it seemed as if he was holding Chen Luan in his arms in a possessive manner.
"Make a wish, brother."
Jiang Xun put the birthday hat in his hand on Chen Luan's head, supported his arms on the sofa, and his palm was a palm's distance from Chen Luan's lower back.
Chen Luan closed his eyes.
What wish do you want to make?
Being reborn into this era and seeing with his own eyes the new world they fought so hard for is already the greatest gift fate has given him. He has nothing else to ask for.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Luan muttered in his heart:
I hope my two younger brothers will have a safe and smooth life and get what they want!
He could not see the gazes of his two dear brothers staring at him when he closed his eyes.
That kind of gaze was the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Without him realizing it, it stretched out its winding branches towards him, and the snake coiled among the green leaves was spitting out its tongue, extending a dangerous invitation to him.
As the night deepened, Chen Luan fell into a deep sleep.
The lights in the twins' room next door were still on.
Jiang Xun sat on the sofa with a book in his arms. Looking at Jiang Ling, who was about to rest with a plush pillow in her arms, he suddenly said, "Jiang Ling, do you remember the bet you made with me?"
"Huh? What?" Jiang Ling turned over and looked at his brother. He was already a little sleepy and looked a little confused.
"You said, if Zhou Pei doesn't get tired of Chen Luan after three months, you will promise me one thing."
Jiang Ling, who was about to go see Zhou Gong, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up, sitting up with a "jump": "Oh my god!"
Jiang Xun calmly crossed his arms, looking at Jiang Ling, whose expression was gradually breaking down, and raised the corners of his lips: "Keep your word. I win."
"..." Jiang Ling gritted her teeth, wishing she could go back a few months ago and slap herself in the face: "Tell me, what do you want me to promise you?"
Jiang Xun put down the book, returned to his bed, and turned off the light.
Jiang Xun's light voice came from the dark room:
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I do."
