Chapter 86 Chapter 86 You are my water baby. ...
On Shao Chengzhang's birthday, Shen Zhuo went home early to prepare, but she waited and waited for him but he didn't come back. She glanced at the messages on her phone and saw that Shao Chengzhang hadn't told her he had overtime or social events tonight. She felt a surge of anger.
Chen Zhuo paced back and forth in the living room, his hands on his waist. He didn't really think I didn't know he was working overtime at the company on his birthday, did he? Even if I really didn't know, he didn't even plan to tell me?
…Chen Zhuo picked up his phone irritably.
"Buzz buzz!" Shao Chengzhang, feeling rather uninterested at the dinner, glanced at the table. His phone lit up, indicating a message. He unlocked it, checked, and saw it wasn't from the person he was thinking of. His eyebrows, which had been raised slightly, drooped again.
Liang Yuchen said, "I'll give you a nice bottle of wine. Remember to come get it when you have time." Besides his eldest brother, he was one of the only two people who knew Shao Chengzhang's birthday. Liang Yuchen knew he didn't celebrate his birthday, so every year on that day, he wouldn't say happy birthday, but simply ask if he wanted a drink. If Shao Chengzhang was busy, he'd give him a bottle of wine.
Shao Chengzhang: "I'll be there in a while."
Liang Yuchen: "? You're not with your wife?" He thought Chen Zhuo must be celebrating Shao Chengzhang's birthday at this moment.
Shao Chengzhang casually took a picture of the desktop and sent it to him. The bone plates and porcelain bowls on it showed that he was having an event.
Liang Yuchen: "She doesn't know what day it is today, does she?"
Shao Chengzhang snorted in anger, knowing that it was his birthday and he still stabbed him on purpose.
Liang Yuchen: "You see, my buddy is still good to you."
Shao Chengzhang put down his phone and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Instead of calling Shao Chengzhang, Shen Zhuo called Chen Hang. When Chen Hang received the call from the boss's wife, he was startled and subconsciously looked at the boss.
"Madam." Chen Hang answered the call. He was sitting at the serving area when the waiter came and announced the name of a dish.
Chen Zhuo on the other end of the phone also heard it and asked, "Is your CEO Shao also at the dinner?"
"Yes."
Chen Zhuo said, "Then you should keep a close eye on him. Don't let him drink too much. Come back early after the social event."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hang quickly analyzed the current situation. Should he go up to the boss and tell him that the boss's wife called to express her concern for him?
The boss said the day before yesterday that he would not attend the dinner, but he wanted to arrange it again. However, the boss didn't say much all night and seemed uninterested. Chen Hang decided to take a gamble.
He stood up, walked over to Shao Chengzhang, bent down and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Shao, your wife just called and asked you to finish your social and go home early."
Shao Chengzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly: "Okay, I understand." As soon as Chen Hang left, he immediately checked his mobile phone and frowned slightly. Why didn't his wife send him a message?
The dinner was supposed to celebrate a new designer's collaboration with Dreamora. The company's design team, mostly young and experienced in the anime industry, enjoyed a lively conversation with the newcomers. However, Shao Chengzhang showed little interest, showing no interest in the topics discussed, nor much understanding.
Since his wife had spoken, Shao Chengzhang was ready to leave. He said goodbye to everyone and told them to have a good time, and all the expenses for the night would be charged to his account.
*
She was clearly looking forward to his return and wanted to give him a surprise, but when she actually saw him, Shen Zhuo didn't know what to say. She sat on the sofa and watched Shao Chengzhang approach, staring at him for two seconds and then looking away, and then couldn't help but look at him again.
Until he walked up to her, Shen Zhuo turned his head away, avoiding his sight.
Shao Chengzhang sat next to her: "Why didn't you call me, huh?"
"Then you didn't tell me you wouldn't be back at night." Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes and glanced at him, his tone very hard.
"Are you angry?"
"No, why should I be angry?"
She was clearly angry. Shao Chengzhang nudged her knee with his leg, "I'll always report to you in advance from now on."
"Is it because of this?"
Shao Chengzhang pursed his lips and asked, "What else is there?"
"What day is today?" Shen Zhuo asked again.
Shao Chengzhang thought about it, but couldn't think of any other day except his birthday, but how could Chen Zhuo know?
He hesitated a little: "It's my...birthday?"
"You still know it's your birthday? Why, you don't want to celebrate your birthday with me? You'd rather eat out with outsiders than come home." It took less than half an hour from the time Shen Zhuo hung up the phone to the time Shao Chengzhang entered the house. Obviously, this was not a very important dinner.
"It's not that I don't want to live with you, I just thought you didn't know." Shao Chengzhang felt a little aggrieved.
"Tell me the truth. If I don't know, are you going to tell me and just let today go?"
Shao Chengzhang remained silent, he really thought so.
"If you don't want to celebrate your birthday, then don't celebrate it." Shen Zhuo stood up and was held by his wrist.
"No." Shao Chengzhang looked up at her, "I want to celebrate your birthday with you."
Hearing him say this, Shen Zhuo showed no sign of accepting the offer. Instead, he broke free from his hand, crossed his chest, and looked down at him. "Shao Chengzhang, didn't we agree before that if there's anything, we should communicate promptly? If you want something, you should tell me instead of keeping it to yourself."
"Actually, I won't be angry or mind if you don't know my birthday."
"Really? So you don't have any anticipation for today at all?"
Shao Chengzhang fell silent again. Okay, he had to admit, he did. He didn't know why, but he didn't want others to know about his birthday and celebrate it, yet he wanted Shen Zhuo to know.
"The 27th is my birthday. Can you celebrate it with me?" He couldn't bring himself to say such words. Or perhaps it was because he had never asked for such an emotional need from others since he was ten years old.
He only has a small expectation in his heart, but keeps it to himself.
Twisted.
"Can you tell me what you want in the future?" Chen Zhuo asked, "I won't refuse you. You have to change this bad habit in the future, okay?"
"Well, I was wrong, I will change." He put his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her belly and looked up at her.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, how come you can ask me for this and that in bed." Chen Zhuo couldn't help but said in a cold voice. He spoke too quickly and when he reacted, he was speechless.
What am I talking about!
Shao Chengzhang laughed out loud, "I was wrong, I will definitely tell you next time."
Shen Zhuo snorted and asked him, "What time is it now?"
Shao Chengzhang looked up at his watch: "Just past ten o'clock."
Chen Zhuo slapped his hand away, took a step forward, and stood on the sofa, "Carry me on your back."
Shao Chengzhang stood up, and Chen Zhuo put her arms around his neck. After he stabilized his back, she straightened her back and moved up again, covering his eyes with her hands.
"Let's go celebrate my birthday." Chen Zhuo said, "Now - follow my instructions."
"Hmm?" Shao Chengzhang didn't know what she was going to do.
Chen Zhuo directed him to the audio-visual room and warned him not to open his eyes. She got off him and projected her phone onto the projector.
"Alright!" Chen Zhuo led him to the center, "Open your eyes."
When Shao Chengzhang opened his eyes, he saw a line of big words on the projection screen: "Happy 32nd birthday to Shao Chengzhang."
He looked around and saw the cake on the small table. He really didn't expect Chen Zhuo to prepare it in advance. He stood there in a daze for several seconds, then couldn't help laughing, "But wife, this... is this right?" Shao Chengzhang gestured the three words "little friend", which was particularly inconsistent with the 32-year-old next to him.
"What's wrong? Let me see who dares to say it. I'll block them." Shen Zhuo opened the cake box, put in the candles and lit them, then turned off the string light. She asked Shao Chengzhang to come over and make a wish.
Shao Chengzhang sat on the sofa, clasped his hands together and closed his eyes. He actually felt a little awkward. He hadn't made a wish like this in many years.
"Happy birthday to you - eh? You made your wish so quickly?" Before she finished singing the first line of the lyrics, Shao Chengzhang had already opened his eyes and blew out the candles.
Shao Chengzhang said: "Well, I'm afraid that wishing for three is too greedy, so I'll just wish for one. My wish is that you will be by my side on this day every year."
"Why say it out loud?"
"I said, only you can fulfill my wish."
Chen Zhuo couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, "Then I will mercifully help you realize it." Then she asked him to close his eyes again. The gift she prepared was placed behind the sofa, a whole big box, and it was a bit heavy to hold.
Chen Zhuo turned on the wire lamp and let him open his eyes. "There are 32 gifts in here, one for each year of your life. Think of it as growing up again, and this time I'll be with you."
Shao Chengzhang looked at the big box in front of him in disbelief. He felt like he could no longer think.
"Don't you want to know what they are?"
"No, I just..." Shao Chengzhang moved his mouth again and again, but still couldn't say it.
"Okay, open it quickly." Shen Zhuo couldn't wait to see Shao Chengzhang's expression when he opened the gift.
Shao Chengzhang sat on the floor, reaching out to take one, carefully unwrapping the paper for fear of tearing it. The first gift he unwrapped was a tie with a letter inside. He opened it, "Dear Shao Chengzhang, today is the first day of your 18th birthday..."
"Hey! Don't read it out loud. Just read it out slowly for yourself." It would be too embarrassing to read it out in front of her.
Shao Chengzhang couldn't help laughing and said "Okay".
After opening each gift, Chen Zhuo wrote down the reason for giving it to him in the letter.
When he was 22, the year Dreamora was founded, Chen Zhuo gave him a pen, hoping he would sign more contracts in the future. When he was 25, Dreamora was starting to take off, so Chen Zhuo gave him a watch, hoping he would pay attention to time and eat and sleep well even when he was busy. When he was 27, Dreamora went public, so Chen Zhuo gave him a bottle of red wine to celebrate...
However, the more he unwrapped the gifts, the stranger they became. They were all things Shao Chengzhang had never seen before, and Shen Zhuo was very surprised.
"Didn't we all play this as kids?" She held up a set of Pokémon cards. "It was a dollar a pack, and then you played rock-paper-scissors with your classmates. If your opponent's health bar was completely wiped out, the card would be yours. This is Charmander, and if you transformed to a higher level, you'd get Charizard."
Shao Chengzhang shook his head.
"This is for blowing bubbles, just like this..."
"This is a water baby. When you soak it in water, it slowly grows into a bouncy little ball. I loved raising it when I was little."
“…”
Shao Chengzhang listened to her talk and kept shaking his head.
Shen Zhuo was surprised, but when he thought about his past, he felt that it was normal that he didn't know, because Shao Chengzhang was an introverted child when he was young.
When he opened the gift for his tenth birthday, Chen Zhuo gave him a starry sky lamp.
"Ten-year-old Shao Chengzhang, if you miss your mother, you can open it at any time. Then there will be stars in the room, and your mother in the sky will definitely be able to hear you talking." Shen Zhuo turned it on and adjusted it directly, and the ceiling was dotted with stars.
Shao Chengzhang felt a lump in his nose and his eyes started to turn red.
Finally, my 32nd birthday gift was a Polaroid camera.
"Didn't you say that we haven't taken many photos? With this, we can take photos anytime." As he said that, Shen Zhuo raised it up and took a picture of Shao Chengzhang. After a while, the photo paper came out. After the image was developed, Shen Zhuo praised it for being beautiful.
Shao Chengzhang sniffed lightly, "I want to shoot with you."
Shen Zhuo sat next to him and struck several poses, but after taking a few pictures, Shen Zhuo was not satisfied with his expression. However, Shao Chengzhang kept staring at the pictures and smiling.
She stood up and turned off the line light. In the dark environment, the starlight looked better. She walked back and lay down directly next to Shao Chengzhang, who followed her and lay down. The two of them watched the stars together.
Chen Zhuo asked him, "Do you like it?" Most of the time, he was the one asking her if she liked it.
"I like her." Shao Chengzhang turned his head and stared at Chen Zhuo, his chest filled with a sour warmth. At this moment, he suddenly felt that all his past dull days had been given color by her.
"But I've set the threshold too high this year. I don't know what to give you in the future."
"I don't want any gifts, I just want you."
Shen Zhuo raised the corners of his mouth silently.
After a while, Shao Chengzhang choked up a little: "Chen Zhuo, thank you."
Chen Zhuo turned her head to look at him, and in the dim light, she saw a crystal teardrop sliding down the corner of his eye.
She suddenly turned over, kissed the corner of his eyes and replied, "Shao Chengzhang, happy birthday, and be happy every day."
Shen Zhuo kissed him lightly, then gently touched his eyelids, forehead, and nose tip, then stared at him with a smile.
Shao Chengzhang's Adam's apple rolled. He protected the back of her head with one hand and hugged her waist with the other. He turned her sideways, held her under him, and kissed her.
Soon, both of them began to pant heavily. Chen Zhuo said he wanted to take a shower first.
Hugs and kisses all the way.
Entering the bathroom, Shao Chengzhang didn't turn on the shower, but instead filled the bathtub with water. While the water was running, he took off his and Shen Zhuo's clothes layer by layer, put his hand through her waist and pressed against her from behind, making her look at them in the mirror.
"Wife, you are so beautiful." Shao Chengzhang sighed sincerely. He loved her body so much.
Everything is beautiful, everything is cute, everything is attractive.
Naked and looking at the mirror like this, Shen Zhuo's face suddenly felt hot, and he felt like there was no need to turn on the heater in the bathroom.
Shao Chengzhang lowered his head and kissed her shoulder, then raised his eyes and met her eyes in the mirror, "Can you help me wash my hands?" After saying that, he pressed her down and bent her waist, putting her hand under the faucet. Shen Zhuo squeezed a pump of hand sanitizer into his palm, his eyes fixed on his hands.
Shao Chengzhang rested his chin on her shoulder and looked in the mirror. The dangling tip of his hair swayed slightly with his movements.
I really want to pinch it and bite it.
Chen Zhuo quickly sensed the change, paused while washing his hands, looked up, and blushed when he met his gaze.
Shao Chengzhang teased her: "My wife is still shy easily."
"Shut up." Chen Zhuo lowered his eyes, rinsed himself clean and turned off the faucet. He wanted to give him a tissue, but he put it directly on her abdomen, rubbing it and wiping the water droplets on his hands.
My fingers are still wet, but that’s okay, they’ll get wetter in a while.
The sound of the water suddenly became mixed with the sound of gasps, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.
Chen Zhuo's waist was tightened by one hand, and the sturdy body behind him was like a wall, firmly immovable. The middle and ring fingers of the other hand pointed to a place invisible in the mirror.
Shao Chengzhang didn't stop until the water was almost drained. Chen Zhuo took a deep breath. Her legs were already a little soft, and there were some sticky water marks on the red skin on the inside of her legs.
"Wife, you are the water baby." Shao Chengzhang suddenly said this without any context.
Chen Zhuo's brain was a little stuck at this moment and he didn't react.
"Look." Shao Chengzhang smiled and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "You are my water baby."
Knowing what was on it, Chen Zhuo glared at him in shame and anger.
Shao Chengzhang laughed softly. He supported her, turned her around, picked her up and stepped into the bathtub.
Changing to a face-to-face position, Shen Zhuo grabbed him. She returned to Shao Chengzhang what Shao Chengzhang had just done to her.
Shao Chengzhang leaned against the edge of the bathtub, his breathing becoming heavy. Shen Zhuo loved to hear the muffled groans he couldn't help but make when he was about to reach his climax.
But when she was tired, she ignored Shao Chengzhang, let go of his hands, and leaned aside to rest.
Shao Chengzhang said she was in charge of killing but not burying.
"It's not like I'm not letting you bury it. Just move it yourself." Shen Zhuo said lazily, resting his head on the edge of the bathtub.
Wasn't it him who made the move? Shao Chengzhang smiled, straightened his waist, and helped her lean towards him.
Immediately, the calm water surface swayed with the ups and downs of Shen Zhuo.
After finally taking a shower and returning to the room, the two discovered that it was snowing.
This was the first snow in City A. Snowflakes floated slowly in the air, so they simply left the curtains alone.
Shen Zhuo looked out the window frequently, so Shao Chengzhang turned to face the window, but he didn't expect that the reflection of the window was very clear.
Shao Chengzhang pressed on her back from behind, his hands passed through her armpits and supported her chin, so Shen Zhuo could see everything clearly.
In an instant, the snowflakes drifting in the air grew larger and fell faster and thicker. A cold wind blew, picking up the snowflakes and making them float up and down.
