Chapter 48 Living Like an Ordinary Person
Shi Mingguang injured his foot and Lian Ye injured his hand, so Lao Xu issued a "rest order" to them.
"Xiao Wen, you guard the door. They are not allowed to step out of this door today. Stay home obediently. I have given instructions to the kitchen. Please take care of everything that needs to be taken care of. Eat and drink well."
Xiao Wen was dejected and agreed unhappily, "I know."
"But I'm not a watchdog! Forget it. I was so tired from running yesterday. I'll be a watchdog today. At least I can stay home and take a break."
It’s too early for Xiaowen to make his wishful thinking.
"I left a lot of important information at the law firm and need to get it back."
Shi Mingguang didn't want the people in the law firm to know that he was living in the Chi family, as those female colleagues had already had some impure ideas.
Besides, he didn't feel comfortable staying in the Chi family all the time.
Forget about Xiaowen. Luo Pingcheng has occupied the sofa in the living room since last night and has been following me with vicious eyes all morning.
Shi Mingguang felt that the air in the Chi family was filled with malice and was suffocating, so he just wanted to find a reason to escape.
"I'll find someone to get it for you. I'll ask a local errand boy to do it for you. Is that okay?"
Xiaowen sat at the door with his legs crossed and opened the app on his phone to run errands.
"Okay, I'll have Lawyer Xu pack up the documents."
Seeing that Xiaowen was not going to let him go, Shi Mingguang had no choice but to accept it.
Xiaowen turned the phone screen towards Shi Mingguang: "Okay, Lawyer Shi, wait."
Xiaowen can't let Shi Mingguang leave this house. As soon as Shi Mingguang leaves, his young master will follow him out.
The police have not yet caught the criminal who attacked Shi Mingguang and stabbed Chi Tiansheng. Who knows where that guy and the gang behind him are hiding?
Once Shi Mingguang leaves this home, without the protection of the Chi family, the criminals and the forces behind them will strike again.
Chi Tiansheng would never allow such a thing to happen, and would definitely rush over to act as someone else's shield.
At least today, Chi Tiansheng must not get hurt.
Xiaowen had to keep an eye on Chi Tiansheng for another important reason: to prevent him from discovering the "surprise" that Lao Xu and Song Yexing were preparing.
This was also proposed by Song Yexing.
It was a rare occasion for her to fly over, firstly to celebrate that Chi Tiansheng was alive and well, and secondly to celebrate that he was one step closer to turning thirty.
From the decorations to the cakes, everything was prepared by Song Yexing herself, and Lao Xu was responsible for meeting her and helping her.
After working in the study all day and all night, Shi Mingguang got the information and stayed in the room for a day.
Suddenly the power went out in the house, scaring them all out of the room.
Looking downstairs, I saw that Luo Pingcheng had left the sofa at some point.
There was no one downstairs. Shi Mingguang was holding the handrail and was about to go down the stairs. Dan Ye hurriedly held his arm and said, "It's pitch black. I'll help you."
After taking two steps, Lian Ye felt something was wrong and stopped again and ordered: "Lawyer Shi, stay put and don't move. It's best to go back to your room first."
Lian Ye was very alert, especially when facing this kind of environment and the current situation, the first thing he sensed was "danger".
"No, I'm already living in your house. If they come after me again, I can't let you keep blocking them."
Shi Mingguang held on tightly to Lian Ye. He didn't want to be a deserter, and he couldn't owe anyone a favor anymore.
He, a small lawyer, couldn't afford to repay the favor he owed the Chi family.
When he came to live in the Chi family, looking at Lao Xu and Xiao Wen, he knew how much everyone in the Chi family valued Chi Tiansheng. Shi Mingguang knew even more clearly how important Chi Tiansheng was to this family.
Lian Ye couldn't persuade Shi Mingguang, so he could only sigh and take a step back: "Your legs are not in good condition and you can't run. If there is any danger, you must follow my instructions."
"Let's see the situation first." Shi Mingguang did not agree, but just pushed him gently, urging him to help him go down the stairs.
The two of them went downstairs carefully. As soon as they reached the hall, Xiaowen, Lao Xu, Song Yexing, the chef, and the maids who were hiding everywhere ran out.
Some people fired salutes, some cheered and applauded, while Xiaowen walked towards Lianye with a big cake in his hands and a smile on his face.
Song Yexing put the birthday hat on Lian Ye's head and smiled triumphantly: "Look how surprised you are. You can't even speak?"
Of course Lian Ye didn't know Chi Tiansheng's birthday.
When I saw the cake and the flickering candles, I remembered the date on a document. It turned out to be Chi Tiansheng’s birthday.
It was my first birthday, and I didn’t know what expression to use that night when faced with the “surprise” carefully prepared by Xiaowen, Laoxu and others.
How would ordinary people react? And how would "Chi Tiansheng" himself react?
I tried to recall all night what birthday parties I had attended so far.
The kind of crazy thing in Luoping City where they smash cakes and play tricks on people to satisfy their own "happiness"?
That's a kind of pathology. Maybe what Lian Ye wants is just a birthday party like this.
Warm candlelight, a delicious fruit cake, and a simple birthday decoration.
Most importantly, everyone who celebrated for him had genuine smiles and good wishes.
"Come on, come on, don't just stand there, brother, are you too touched?"
Xiaowen put the cake away and urged everyone to blow out the candles quickly so that they could turn on the lights.
Lian Ye thought it was time to blow out the candle, but just as he got closer, Xiao Wen pulled him back.
"Wait! Did you make a wish?"
I really don't understand this process even overnight.
On your birthday, do you make a wish before blowing out the candles?
No one in the Luo family has ever done this.
Whether the wishes of Luoping Mountain and Luoping City can be realized is not determined by making wishes in front of candles.
In the Luo family, whether everyone's wishes can be realized depends on Luo Pingfeng.
Perhaps because of this, everyone gave up making wishes.
The candlelight flickered on Chi Tiansheng's face, illuminating his furrowed brow and the bitter corners of his mouth.
That's impossible. The chairman of the Chi Group doesn't know that he should make a wish before blowing out the candles on his birthday?
Shi Mingguang found the contrast of "Chi Tiansheng" very surprising.
But if I think about it carefully and put myself in their shoes, I seem to be able to understand it.
Lawyer Xu, his parents, and relatives all said that Shi Mingguang was a "law fanatic and a life idiot." Chi Tiansheng might also have been called this way, a "workaholic and career maniac," and a "life idiot."
Lacking common sense in daily life and being fully devoted to work, Shi Mingguang suddenly felt that he and Chi Tiansheng were the same type of people?
I originally thought they were from two different worlds, but now I think about it, they actually have similarities.
Shi Mingguang keenly caught Chi Tiansheng's dilemma and reminded him with a smile.
"Do you have a wish? Just make a wish silently."
"Nothing special."
Lian Ye said lightly that he would follow Song Yexing's instructions and "close his eyes and make a wish sincerely."
Lian Ye's wish is just to live like an ordinary person, to be able to walk freely and calmly in the sun and on the street, and to have the right to stand in front of the person he likes and smile at him.
He opened his eyes at night and blew out the candle forcefully.
"Turn on the light!"
Xiaowen cheered, the chefs and aunts were busy serving the dishes, and Song Yexing took off the firecracker fragments on his body with disgust.
Shi Mingguang looked at him with a smile and said softly, "Happy birthday."
I laughed all night long. It turns out that birthday wishes are so effective and they came true immediately.
In a bright and warm home, the person he likes is standing in front of him, smiling at him gently.
Lian Ye's eyes were reluctant to leave Shi Mingguang for even a second.
A month ago, when he sank into the dark and cold water, he had only one wish in his heart: to see Shi Mingguang again.
God gave him a miracle. Every morning when he woke up, he would repeatedly confirm whether it was a dream or reality.
The person right in front of him, who he could touch with his hand, made him have more and more wishes.
Song Yexing stared at the scene coldly. In her opinion, an inexplicable strange feeling surged in her heart.
She could not sense the presence of "Chi Tiansheng" in the man who looked at Shi Mingguang affectionately.
