Chapter 150 End of the Text
For him, a birthday is just the day he was born, nothing special. So when Yu Nian flew all the way to Australia to celebrate his birthday, his first reaction was confusion.
It turns out this is a very important festival.
It was worth her running so far to surprise him.
She taught him the birthday process, including cake and gifts, and of course, her favorite part was blowing out the candles and making a wish. She looked at him intently and asked him to make a wish sincerely.
He followed her instructions, closed his eyes, and made a wish in his heart facing the candle.
Ji Yanxing never made a wish, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he would fight for whatever he wanted if he wanted to believe in ghosts and gods, but she took birthday wishes very seriously, he listened to her closing his eyes and thought, if he had to make a wish, then he hoped that she would be able to spend every birthday with him in the future.
On the night before his first birthday, he was inexplicably looking forward to this day. He did not ask her if she would come. He went to get off work and came home as usual. When he got home and opened the door, he saw her standing behind the door, smiling at him.
In the fourth year, they had a conflict. In order to avoid this day, she went on a business trip out of town early. After she came back, she didn't mention his birthday at all.
She won't be with him on his birthday.
The wish I made at that time has become invalid.
The restaurant was dimly lit, with only the light of candles, which reflected in her eyes, gentle and moving. She held her chin and looked at him, waiting for him to make a wish.
Just like celebrating his birthday in previous years.
Ji Yanxing thought inappropriately about this morning when he had a talk with an official in a teahouse. Next to the teahouse was a cake shop. When he got off the car, he saw Liang Siyi.
Through the window, he saw her making cakes seriously under the guidance of the pastry chef.
He stood there and watched for a while, and only came back to his senses after Li Ming reminded him. When they were discussing the cooperation, the image of the woman smiling and applying cream kept appearing in his mind. After the discussion, for some unknown reason, he walked into the cake shop.
He asked the pastry chef, "What was that woman doing just now?"
The female pastry chef stared at him blankly for a few seconds, her cheeks slightly red, and then said, "The lady's son has a birthday today, and she is here to make the cake."
As she spoke, she showed him the card she had just written, "She said she was going to pick up her son from school and would come back later to get the cake."
Ji Yanxing lowered his eyes and looked at the words on the greeting card: Happy 15th birthday to little Bo Qiyuan, may you be happy every day.
He had seen this handwriting many times. It was only used to sign business documents before, but now it was written on a cheap greeting card.
Same birthday?
What a coincidence.
Will she remember at some point that today is also his birthday?
Probably not, she probably doesn't remember this unimportant thing.
Ji Yanxing curled his lips in mockery, not knowing who was mocking whom.
Seeing that he seemed to be in a trance, Yu Nian reminded him: "Make a wish quickly, otherwise the candle will go out."
Ji Yanxing looked at her eyes, which were still bright and moving in the dim light. He curled his lips slightly, and under her gaze, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and made a wish with a pious expression.
——The simplest and most plain wish: I wish my baby Nian Nian to be happy every day. Blow gently and the candle goes out.
Ji Yanxing opened his eyes and saw the woman's gentle and peaceful smile.
She smiled brightly at him: "Happy birthday."
Ever since Yu Nian gave him the watch, he only wore the one she gave him and the one she bought for him with his card a long time ago.
She asked: "You just wear these two watches alternately, don't you get tired of it?"
He replied: "You can buy more for me so that I can wear them in turns."
He had handed the card to her a long time ago, but Yu Nian had never used it. After all, they were currently just living together.
But buying him a watch can be put on the agenda.
She got a lot of money after the divorce, so she wasn't stingy enough to buy him a watch.
So, on the first day he said this, she asked someone to buy ten watches from abroad, spending all the money he gave her.
Well, the wool comes from the sheep. Her own salary card is not enough to buy him that one.
But even though she bought him many watches, he still loved the silver watch the most. He would occasionally wear other watches, but most of the time he would wear the ones she bought with her salary card.
Yu Nian thought realistically that it wasn't a waste of the money she worked so hard to earn all year round.
The new year is here in the blink of an eye.
Yu Nian didn't return to City B until two days before New Year's Eve. A few days ago, she and Ji Yanxing went to Moscow. While strolling on the street, they actually found the love lock that was hung on the "Bridge of Love" that year.
After being exposed to wind and sun for a long time, it has rusted, but it is still tightly locked together.
Yu Nian took a photo and set it as the background image for his Moments.
This time she went back to City B on her own.
Ji Yanxing said nothing, but just kissed her between the eyebrows and wished her a happy new year.
At that moment, her heart twitched. She looked into his eyes, reached out to hug him, and whispered, "Wait for me a little longer."
Ji Yanxing patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I have a lifetime to spend with you."
Although Ji Yanxing did not come, his name has been heard many times since I returned home.
Yu Yi paced back and forth in the living room anxiously: "What should I do? Is my brother-in-law going to spend the New Year alone this year?"
Yu wanted to kick him, "Who is your brother-in-law?"
"..." Yu Yi pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "In the past few years, sister...Brother Yanxing has come to our house to celebrate the New Year. He is the only one at home. How miserable it is for him to celebrate the New Year alone!"
Yu Xiang glared at him: "If you feel sorry for him, just live with him!"
“…”
Not only Yu Yi was talking about it, He Manlian also asked: "How are you and Ji Yanxing doing?"
He Manlian only knew that she and Ji Yanxing seemed to be... in love?
The one who can be brought home for the Chinese New Year is her husband. Based on He Manlian's understanding of her daughter, she knows that she has a strong sense of identity boundaries and she is trying to let go of the past. She can be involved with him, but if she brings Ji Yanxing home for the Chinese New Year, it means that she has completely opened her heart.
"It's pretty good." Yu Nian said.
He Manlian: "When do you plan to bring him back?"
Yu Nian lowered his eyes, "Soon."
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.
Back in the bedroom, Yu Nian took a cup of hot water and walked to the balcony. It was snowing outside again. She stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes fell into her palm and melted in a short while. Leaning on the railing, she looked at the warm but empty bedroom in a trance. The day of the first snow flashed in her mind. He hugged her from behind and whispered to her, "Niannian, have you fallen in love with me again?"
They were so close to each other, their eyes met. Feeling the dark emotions in his deep eyes, Yu Nian inexplicably wanted to dodge, not daring to look into his eyes, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
In the end, he just kissed her between the eyebrows and told her firmly: "You will fall in love with me again, even more than when you loved me the most."
She lowered her eyes, not looking at him, and replied softly, "I will."
He must be a little lost.
