Chapter 194: Acting like a spoiled child (two in one) "Don't touch me until I wash myself clean...
When coming down from upstairs, Tian Ruan's face was still a little red. Fortunately, the night was covered and the lights were bright, so everyone just thought that he was full of energy and looked very happy.
Several members of the student union who knew Tian Ruan's identity also received an invitation. Xie Tangyan stepped forward on behalf of the three of them to present a gift: "Happy birthday, Tian Ruan."
"Thank you." Tian Ruan was very surprised. He liked lively but not noisy places. Their arrival was just the icing on the cake.
Servants, bodyguards, gardeners, and family doctors from the Yu family also attended the birthday party and gave their blessings in varying degrees. Aunt Liu bought a jade peace locket for Tian Ruan and said embarrassedly, "It's not worth much, please don't despise it. I wish you peace and prosperity every year."
Tian Ruan immediately hung the peace locket around her neck and said, "The gift is small but the thought is great. Thank you, Aunt Liu."
Sister Zhang gave her a sandalwood comb and said, "I wish you happiness, health and longevity."
Tian Ruan accepted the gifts from the servants and bodyguards one by one. Although they were all small things, they were very practical. He said, "I also wish you all good luck and a bright future."
As the words fell, the birthday party officially began. The invited orchestra played melodious tunes in the courtyard. Pink and yellow flowers and balloons were dotted among strings of dim yellow lights, the sky was full of stars, and candlelight was swaying.
The floor lamps, street lamps, and stone lamps were all lit, and small round tables covered with pink and white tablecloths were arranged in an orderly manner, with fragrant flowers and abundant wine, drinks and desserts on them.
Tian Ruan was called by Mr. Yu to talk and was praised in front of Du Danren and Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Du was absent-minded. She kept looking at the gate of the manor, frowning and muttering, "Why hasn't Henbie come yet?"
Dew leaned over and said, "I'll call the young master."
Mrs. Du nodded.
Tian Ruan overheard and said, "Don't call. Big brother must be making love with He Lan Si. They are very affectionate and have sex."
Madam Du: “…”
Old Man Yu: “…” Is this really something an old man like him can listen to? So exciting.
Mrs. Du tried to save her eldest son's reputation by saying, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"
Tian Ruan looked innocent.
Du Danren said: "I will come when I finish my work, don't worry."
Mrs. Du: "...Shut up."
Du Danren looked innocent.
After Tian Ruan finished talking to Old Man Yu and exchanged pleasantries with Yu Ti's parents for a while, he was pestered by the shameless Yu Fadada with questions.
"Xiaotian, how is Haichao doing in school? He never tells me these things."
Tian Ruan said perfunctorily: "Hai Chao has excellent grades and is always in the top ten in the grade."
Yu Fadada nodded, "That's good, it's right for him to go to Deyin..."
"Oh, Nan Huaiju, you are not allowed to drink! You are not an adult yet!" Tian Ruan rushed over and took the opportunity to escape from the nagging Yu Fadada.
Yu Fadada looked embarrassed. Hai Mingyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "I told you not to put your face in front of a cold butt, but you didn't believe me."
"I'm doing this for Hai Chao." Yu Fadada thought his father's love was as strong as a mountain, but in fact it was like a fart.
On the other side, Nan Huaiju's red wine was inexplicably taken away from him, and he said confidently: "I am eighteen years old this year."
"Is it your birthday?"
"……No."
"That means you are not eighteen yet. You can have a drink after your birthday." Tian Ruan said, drinking the red wine himself and looking around slowly, "Where is Hai Chao? Why doesn't he care about you?"
Nan Huaiju wasn't really eager for wine, so he took a sip from a glass of champagne and said, "He went to the bathroom."
"Then why don't you go?"
"Why should I go?" Nan Huaiju was puzzled, "I'm not going to pee."
Tian Ruan: "Then you can just look at Hai Chao and pee."
Nan Huaiju: "...I'm not a pervert, why would I watch him pee?"
Tian Ruan whispered: "Don't you want to know how old he is?"
Nan Huaiju was stunned: "He is eighteen."
"It's not the age, it's the size."
"It's also size eighteen."
Tian Ruan's pupils trembled, "Nan Huaiju, how do you know? Have you seen it and measured it? What did you use to measure it?"
Nan Huaiju: “…”
Tian Ruan looked at Nan Huaiju's butt in shock. It seemed to be a little more raised than before. Was it because of being beaten or slapped?
Nan Huaiju's cheeks flushed, his eyes fierce, "Don't guess blindly, I just estimated it by eye."
"You have indeed seen it." Tian Ruan said quietly.
“…”
Tian Ruan patted Nan Huaiju's little shoulder and said solemnly: "We are all dragon slayers."
"?"
"I wish you can ride a dragon and soar into the sky soon, turning the world upside down."
Nan Huaiju understood this sentence, and her ears and neck were bright as clouds. She said in a low voice: "...I have already rubbed it."
Tian Ruan: "Hmm? What did you say?"
Nan Huaiju immediately shook his head, "Nothing."
Tian Ruan: "Did you eat the forbidden fruit?"
“…No.” Rubbing shouldn’t count, right?
Tian Ruan nodded and said in an elder manner, "You are still young. Exposure to that aspect too early will affect your development."
"Affect development?"
"For example, Jiji can't grow up." Tian Ruan said with heartache.
Nan Huaiju shook like a dead leaf, his voice trembling: "Really?"
"real."
Nan Huaiju thought about it and nodded: "I understand."
Tian Ruan didn't know that he had accidentally buried a small firecracker for Hai Chao, which would be blown up from time to time in the next year.
A low-key and luxurious Rolls-Royce drove into the gate of the manor. Tian Ruan saw it from afar and was about to greet it, but was stopped by a big hand.
"Madam, have you forgotten your husband?" Yu Jingmo's voice was clear, yet inexplicably gentle on this midsummer night.
Tian Ruan took the initiative to hold Yu Jingmo's arm, picked up a cherry from the fruit plate and pressed it against Yu Jingmo's beautiful lips, saying, "I haven't forgotten."
Yu Jingmo opened his mouth and bit the cherry, chewing it carefully. The sweet smell of the fruit with a slight floral scent splashed between his teeth and cheeks. The corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Hmm."
Tian Ruan looked at him sweetly, completely forgetting about everyone else.
Until Du Henbie and Helans came up to him, each holding a gift box in their hands. Du Henbie said: "From now on, it's best for the two of you to have birthday parties together. Others can just give their gifts and leave."
Tian Ruan imagined the scene and surprisingly found it quite good.
Yu Jingmo said, "Okay."
Helansi yawned: "That's perfect, we don't have to come."
"Yes, you guys go ahead." Tian Ruan said casually.
“…”
Why is it that every time they attend a banquet, Helans and Duhenbie always come after having a great time? Helans himself was also confused about this question. Is this his unique way of making his debut?
"Happy birthday." Du Henbie stuffed his gift and Helans's gift all over again.
Tian Ruan almost couldn't hold it, "Wow, it's so heavy, brother, did you give me a gold nugget?"
Du Henbie: "Open it and you'll know."
Tian Ruan happily placed the gift on the small round table, put the wine aside, and began to unpack the gift box. He opened it with great anticipation, and inside was a huge plaster human head.
Tian Ruan: “…” The head carved was actually his own.
Du Henbie: "Art is priceless, I hope you like it."
Tian Ruan smiled reluctantly, "Brother, we Chinese don't like this."
Mrs. Du came over and saw the plaster head. She was also dissatisfied: "Henbie, why did you give me this?"
Du Henbie said: "Don't worry, it's not all heads, there are still things hidden inside, just smash it open."
Tian Ruan: "You want me to explode my own plaster head?"
"It's okay if it doesn't explode. The stuff inside is worth millions."
Tian Ruan immediately used his fists and feet, "It's just a plaster head, look at me - Ha! Hey! Ah..."
After two punches, the plaster statue did not burst, but Tian Ruan's own fist burst, breaking a little skin and oozing blood.
"Mr. Yu..."
Yu Jingmo grabbed his wrist and frowned, "Who told you to explode the plaster with your bare hands?"
Mrs. Du was so distressed that she said, "When you see red, it means red and prosperous. What a mess you gave me. Xiao Ruan's hand was broken. Doctor, doctor!"
The family doctor rushed over with a first aid kit, disinfected Tian Ruan's hands, and took out a Band-Aid.
Old Master Yu came over tremblingly with a cane, "What's wrong? What happened to my beloved granddaughter-in-law? Is she injured? Who did it?!"
Word spread quickly, and soon everyone gathered around.
Yu Ti cried out: "Oh! Uncle's hand is bleeding, so I put a band-aid on it!"
Everyone: “…”
Tian Ruan: “…”
Lu Qiuyan was about to show some concern, but the words that were about to come out of his mouth drifted away after hearing this.
Yu Shang was used to it and said, "It's normal."
Lu Qiuyan: "You have really suffered a lot in this family."
Du Henbie, who had become the target of public criticism, said to Tian Ruan with ease: "The hammer was in the box, but it was too dark and you didn't see it."
Tian Ruan took out a small hammer with his hand covered with a Band-Aid and knocked on the plaster statue.
The plaster immediately broke into pieces, and there was a loud noise inside, just like a small treasury. The golden light mixed with the plaster powder was dazzling under the light.
"Wow~" Tian Ruan felt that the injury was worth it. These gold necklaces, gold bracelets, gold rings, gold pendants, gold bracelets, and gold inlaid jade were enough to make up for his little heart. "Thank you, brother."
Du Henbie kept up a perfect smile: "You're welcome, brother."
What He Lans gave was a painting, a portrait of him and Yu Jingmo. It was painted very lifelike, but the pose was only suitable to be placed in the bedroom. Tian Ruan took a look and covered the painting, fearing that others would see it.
The birthday party continued. Tian Ruan said, "Everyone eat and drink well," and then he hid the gold. If there was a little less, he would be heartbroken.
Tian Ruan was stuffing gold into the box on the bedside table in the bedroom when he suddenly heard an explosion and colorful lights illuminated his face.
He looked out the window in confusion, and suddenly, the colorful fireworks were like a group of elves, shining and dancing in the night.
Tian Ruan couldn't help but walk to the window and look at the courtyard under the fireworks. There were only a hundred people, but it was warm and lively - even when he got married, it was not so joyful.
Some of the people in this big family are not satisfactory, some are prudent and gentle, some are calm and decisive, and some are playful. There are many kinds of people in the world, and so are people. Tian Ruan felt that he didn't like them very much, but at this moment he felt that they were also very good.
Hello everyone.
"Have you hidden your treasure?"
Just as Tian Ruansuo was looking for Yu Jingmo, a clear and deep voice came from behind him.
Tian Ruan turned around, his soft profile was enveloped in the light of fireworks. The room was dim, but his eyes were shining, "Mr. Yu."
Yu Jingmo walked in and said, "I want to hide my treasure, too."
"Your baby?"
Yu Jingmo was already beside him, lowered her eyes, and kissed him on the forehead, "Yes, my baby."
Tian Ruan laughed: "Then are you hiding well?"
"Um."
When the fireworks died down and most of the wine and desserts were gone, everyone said goodbye one after another, the courtyard became quiet, the servants cleaned up the leftovers, and the bodyguards escorted everyone away.
Tian Ruan felt a sense of relief. As long as he was with Yu Jingmo, he had nothing to fear.
The quiet main house seemed even more spacious. Tian Ruan took Yu Jingmo's hand and went upstairs, saying, "It turns out our house is this big."
Yu Jingmo deliberately lagged behind him and let him pull him, "This time next year, you can still fill it up."
Tian Ruan shook his head, "Let's talk about it later. I haven't decided how to celebrate my next birthday yet. By the way, Mr. Yu, your birthday is next month, how do you want to celebrate it?"
"I don't want to celebrate my 31st birthday."
Tian Ruan laughed: "So Mr. Yu also has age anxiety?"
Yu Jingmo smiled: "It's not that I'm anxious about my age, I just want to stop my time and wait for you to catch up."
"That will take ten years."
"Too long?"
"Ten years will pass quickly," Tian Ruan said. "As long as the protagonist is not around, time will pass like riding a spaceship."
"It's also possible to stop at a certain moment." Yu Jingmo took two steps at a time and stepped on the last step with him. "If possible, I hope to stop tonight, when I'm in your body. This way we can never be separated."
Tian Ruan: “…”
"Okay?"
"No, I still have to go to school, take exams, and graduate."
That night, although time did not stop, Yu Jingmo gave his descendants to Tian Ruan for a very long time.
After it has been fully moisturized, wash it.
But this is not the end. Yu Jingmo brought props and gifts and let Tian Ruan try them one by one.
"Where can you eat this thing?" he asked, pinching the hollow ball.
Tian Ruan: "...both are fine, but not at the same time!"
So Yu Jingmo tied the small ball with a silk thread and hung it on Tian Ruan like a cat bell.
When Tian Ruan shook it, the steel balls inside the ball made a clinking sound.
The little ball was very greedy and was immediately dug into the pink crystal bottle by the cat's claws.
Yu Jingmo stretched out his hand to pull out the small ball. The steel ball jingled louder and louder as the crystal bottle shook.
He grabbed the thread. Although he couldn't pull out the ball, he could pull it.
Coming and going, the ball still didn't come out.
Yu Jingmo simply released the dragon to pick up the ball, determined to catch it.
However, the ball was very slippery and refused to pop its head out, so the dragon could only rush around and overturn the crystal bottle, stirring up the rivers and seas and making the streams gurgling.
The crystal bottle trembled, and finally, the small ball was washed away by a huge wave.
The giant dragon took advantage of the situation and grabbed the ball, pulling it out of the bottle wetly. There was another series of crisp sounds.
Tian Ruan leaned against the giant dragon's lair filled with jewels and slept peacefully.
In his dream, there was glittering gold and a truckload of banknotes. He was wandering in the ocean of banknotes, and with one scoop he could get a gold necklace and laugh out loud.
As a result, as he laughed, he found himself turned into a Pixiu.
"I don't want to be without an asshole!" Tian Ruan woke up screaming.
Yu Jingmo was getting dressed. Hearing this, he looked at the young man in surprise, "What?"
Tian Ruan: "...what what?"
Yu Jingmo knew what strange dream he had again, and said, "Sleep a little longer, I'm going to work."
"What time is it?"
"A quarter past nine in the morning."
"Oh..." Tian Ruan opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, "Mr. Yu, if I turned into a Pixiu, what would you do?"
Yu Jingmo's answer was quite businesslike: "If the probability is less than 0.1%, it is not within my consideration."
"What if, what if?" Tian Ruan said coquettishly.
Yu Jingmo sighed: "What else can I do? Of course I will feed you until you are fat and white. And by the way, I will be your asshole."
"Yes!" Tian Ruan nodded, "I want to make a Pixiu with butt eyes, remember this."
Yu Jingmo didn't understand where those wild ideas in his mind came from. He buttoned up his shirt and tucked his shirt into his trousers. His lean waist and broad shoulders were outlined in a very aggressive way. He leaned over and gave the young man a good morning kiss on the forehead and said, "Get up and eat something. I'll be back at four in the afternoon."
Tian Ruan responded obediently: "Goodbye, Mr. Yu."
He knew that Yu Jingmo didn't have time for a proper breakfast, and a cup of black coffee and a sandwich would be enough, so he added: "You should eat a good lunch."
"Yeah." Yu Jingmo went out and closed his bag gently.
Tian Ruan was playing with her phone on the bed, memorizing a few words, and before she knew it, two hours had passed. The housekeeper knocked on the door and reminded her, "Madam, it's noon."
"I'll get up right away." Tian Ruan quickly got up, dressed and washed up in fifteen minutes, and went downstairs to have brunch.
As expected, Yu Shang was not there either. He must have gone to buy a gift for Lu Qiuyan.
Tian Ruan had already prepared a gift for Lu Qiuyan. He was also impressed by the boy who had to buy a gift on his birthday. It would be funny if he also gave Lu Qiuyan five credits.
In the original book, what gift did Yu Shang give to Lu Qiuyan?
Tian Ruan drank the bird's nest while recalling, Oh, it was a complete set of "Three Years of College Entrance Examination and Five Years of Simulation".
"...very much in the style of Yu Shang."
Aunt Liu placed a small box in front of Tian Ruan and said, "Madam, I can't go to Master Lu's birthday party. This is a small gift from me. Can you please pass it on for me?"
"Sure." Tian Ruan said.
"Madam, you can take a look. This is also a peace locket. It is made of East China Sea crystal and is called Green Phantom."
Tian Ruan opened the box. The dark green color was indeed full of vitality. He smiled and said, "Green crystal can attract wealth and treasure, which is just right for Lu Qiuyan. Aunt Liu, he will like it."
Aunt Liu smiled happily: "That's good. Master Lu is a good boy. He was the one who found out that I had a small cut on my hand and asked me to apply medicine on it."
Tian Ruan was surprised: "Aunt Liu, your hand is also injured? We really share the same pain."
"It is said that small disasters can ward off big calamities. Sometimes a minor injury is a good thing." Mother Liu is very experienced.
"Really? Then my previous ankle sprains and falls were just minor disasters to ward off bigger disasters?"
"That's right. There's an idiom called 'negation comes'..."
"Good times will come after bad times?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right. It's a blessing in disguise. Madam, you still have a long way to go. Any little disaster or hardship is just a test."
Tian Ruan nodded, and suddenly thought of Lu Qiuyan's life being like this. When he was a teenager, he fell into the mud and suffered constant hardships. When he was young, he was injured and retired as a disciple and wandered around. Later, he reunited with Yu Shang, and his fortune gradually improved. He also had his own career and dreams.
Thinking of this, Tian Ruan decided to add a gold bracelet to the gift he had prepared for himself. Lu Qiuyan was in such a difficult situation now, so any more help would be appreciated.
It's such a rare opportunity to give a gift, Lu Qiuyan shouldn't refuse it, right?
Tian Ruan had made up his mind that if Lu Qiuyan refused his big gold bracelet, he would roll on the ground and force Lu Qiuyan to accept it.
"Son, where are you?" Tian Ruan called.
Yu Shang: "Shopping mall."
“Let me tell you, Lu Qiuyan likes money in addition to money.”
"...You decide." Yu Shang couldn't just give the money directly, he knew Lu Qiuyan wouldn't accept it.
"You are so stupid." Tian Ruan said.
“…”
There was rumbling thunder in the sky.
Tian Ruan immediately changed his words: "You are so smart, extremely smart! Lu Qiuyan also likes to hug bears. You know this secret. You are so smart. You are worthy of being my good son."
Yu Shang: “? I see.”
Tian Ruan breathed a sigh of relief. It was really hard for him to be a young father. If he said something bad about his son, he would be struck by lightning.
After packing up, Tian Ruan took his gifts and went to find Lu Qiuyan.
Lu Qiuyan is no exception today. He is still working at Macchiato International Garden Hotel. He is not helping people park cars today. Instead, he takes advantage of the holidays when there are many people and goes to the restaurant to serve dishes to earn a little more money.
When Tian Ruan arrived, the restaurant was packed, which was a perfect time to give gifts.
When Lu Qiuyan was carrying drinks to a table, he caught a glimpse of Tian Ruan. He ignored him, lowered his eyes and asked the guest if he needed to be sobered up.
The guest asked for it, so he took out the red wine from the ice bucket, shook it, and slowly turned it with a corkscrew. After the cork came out with a pop, he slowly and steadily poured the wine into the glass decanter.
The movements were skillful, as if they had been done hundreds of times.
The female guest smiled and gave a generous tip, considering it as a reward for the handsome guy's attention.
Tian Ruan waited for Lu Qiuyan to finish the table, then hurried forward to present his gift, "Lu Qiuyan, happy birthday!"
The restaurant was elegant and quiet, and everyone heard his voice.
Someone clapped and said, "Happy birthday."
One after another, there were blessings from strangers.
Lu Qiuyan was in a complicated mood and said, "Let's talk in the kitchen."
Tian Ruan: "Take the gift and open it first."
Lu Qiuyan had no choice but to open the gift box. In addition to a watch, there was also a shiny big gold bracelet. "...I can't wear this bracelet."
Tian Ruan took out the bracelet and put it on his hand, "You can wear it, try it."
Lu Qiuyan pushed his hand away and said, "I can't wear it. Wear it yourself."
"Yes, you can try it."
"Need not……"
"Lu Qiuyan, this is your birthday present."
"It's too expensive. I don't want it."
"You really don't want it?"
"Yeah." Lu Qiuyan was still thinking of something to say when he suddenly saw the person in front of him lie down on the ground and roll up.
Tian Ruan rolled over and said, "You don't want my big gold bracelet, you don't love me anymore..."
Lu Qiuyan: “…”
"Are we still friends? A big gold bracelet is like dirt compared to our friendship, but you don't even want dirt. What use do I have for this thing? I might as well throw it away!" Tian Ruan pretended to throw the bracelet away.
Lu Qiuyan stood straight, motionless.
"? Lu Qiuyan, I really want to throw away the big gold bracelet."
Lu Qiuyan turned around and said to the dozens of eyes looking at him: "I don't know this person."
“…………”
Tian Ruan was shocked that this trick didn't work.
Just as he was standing there, Lu Qiuyan grabbed him with one hand and walked towards the restaurant entrance.
Tian Ruan was in a mess and bumped into Yu Jingmo who came in.
"Mr. Yu?"
Yu Jingmo lowered her eyes and looked at the two of them, especially Tian Ruan whose collar was grabbed by Lu Qiuyan.
Lu Qiuyan suddenly let go, "Uncle, it's not what you see."
Yu Jingmo didn't comment. His eyes fell on Tian Ruan's dirty clothes, messy hair, and the big gold bracelet in his hand. "Explain."
Tian Ruan: "...I, I forced Lu Qiuyan to accept bribes."
"We caught him red-handed." Yu Jingmo took the big gold bracelet and threw it into Lu Qiuyan's arms, "Compensation."
Lu Qiuyan: “…”
Since Yu Jingmo had spoken, Lu Qiuyan dared not refuse to accept it. He accepted the "stolen goods" with reluctance.
Tian Ruan felt a little embarrassed. It was ok for him to be embarrassed in front of others and he could pretend that nothing happened. But if he was seen by Yu Jingmo, it would be a different matter - his glorious image of a pure tenor boy would be gone forever.
Yu Jingmo looked at the whorl of hair on the young man's head. It was just one, nestled in the middle of his head, hiding countless wonderful thoughts. "Go wash it."
He took the young man's hand and picked up the dirty kitten.
When Tian Ruan saw that Yu Jingmo didn't blame her, she jumped up and wanted to hug him, "Mr. Yu~"
Yu Jingmo held his face and said, "Don't touch me until you wash it clean."
Tian Ruan: “…”
