Chapter 32 Chapter 32 I will never leave you no matter what.
The two hugged each other in the dark for a long time. As the clock passed, Jiang Chi's birthday arrived on time at midnight.
"Happy birthday." Sheng Jianan whispered in his ear.
His voice sounded very gentle and a little hoarse in the dark night.
It was clearly just a simple "Happy Birthday", but Jiang Chi didn't know why he suddenly couldn't stand it and carried Sheng Jianan to the bed. She buried her face in the crook of his neck, sniffed deeply, and said in a low and deep voice: "Just a happy birthday? Where's the gift?"
"...You said no." Sheng Jianan said.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Chi suddenly pecked his neck.
Sheng Jianan was startled and quickly reached out to stop him: "There will be a lot of people tomorrow and we will be seen."
However, as soon as he raised his hand, Jiang Chi easily grabbed it.
"You want to stop me with your limited strength?" Jiang Chi laughed hoarsely, "I lift you like a kitten."
Sheng Jianan: “…”
"So what if they see us?" Jiang Chi smiled carelessly. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and his tone became lighter. "It's just right to show them, so that some people won't be so reckless as to target my people."
For a moment, Sheng Jianan was wondering who the some people he was talking about were. Including that person...
After that, Jiang Chi smiled softly again and whispered in his ear, "I really want to put a mark on you, so that others can know at a glance that you are mine."
-
The birthday party was held on Saturday evening at the Jiang family villa. So this morning was still enough for Jiang Chi to sleep in.
But the sweet dream didn’t last long, as the phone on the bedside table started buzzing. Jiang Chi frowned in his sleep, covered Sheng Jianan's ears with one hand, and pulled the cup over their heads, trying to avoid the disturbing vibration.
"Please answer the phone. It might be your aunt." Sheng Jianan pulled off the quilt.
Jiang Chi looked displeased. He picked up the phone, put it directly to his ear without even looking at it.
"What time is it? Are you still not up?" Jiang Ma's familiar voice came from the other end, "Get up quickly and come with me to the villa."
Jiang Chi slept late last night and was extremely sleepy. He squinted his eyes to check the time and said speechlessly, "Isn't it evening? Why are you going there so early?"
"Don't you want to clean up the house over there?" Jiang's mother said, "And your room is completely empty. No one has ever lived there. Move some things over there and we can live in both places from now on."
"I don't want to stay." Jiang Chi refused immediately. He felt annoyed when he heard such words, and he was still a little grumpy because he had just woken up.
"Whether you live there or not, you have to move some things over there." Jiang's mother paused and said, "Let Nan Nan move some things over there as well. She can live there and have fun when she has time."
Jiang Chi closed his eyes and listened to the phone, one hand stroking the silky texture of Sheng Jianan's pajamas on his back. He smiled softly and said in a slower tone, quite proudly: "He doesn't live there either. We have our own house now."
"..." Jiang Ma was speechless and didn't bother to say more. "If I had gone back 20 years, I would never have let you be born."
Jiang Chi: “…”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chi laughed out loud when he thought about the house being renovated soon.
After the decoration is completed, he can bring Sheng Jianan to live there every weekend. No one will care about him and he can do whatever he wants. Jiang Chi was thinking happily while stroking Sheng Jianan's body with one hand.
The fabric of Sheng Jianan's pajamas is silky and feels especially close to the skin. He felt Jiang Chi's hand stroking from his back to his waist, then from his waist to the hollow of his waist, and circling along the hollow of his waist.
After enduring for a while, Sheng Jianan finally couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Jiang Chi's hand and put it in front of him: "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Chi certainly wouldn't tell him about this kind of good news in advance. He smiled and asked, "Nothing, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Glancing at the time on the wall clock, Sheng Jianan asked, "It's your birthday today, aren't you going to get up?"
"It's something for tonight, why are you getting up so early?" Jiang Chi said as he held her arms tighter and sighed, "There's nothing better than holding you in my arms and taking a nap in the morning."
-
When he woke up, no one was home. Sheng Jianan received a message from her mother, saying that they all went to Jiang's house together and asked them to prepare their own food after getting up.
Sheng Jianan has never done housework since he was a child. The most tiring work he has ever done is probably drawing and doing homework. He can't even make fried rice with egg.
But this can't be blamed on him, mainly because Jiang Chi wouldn't let him. Especially the important area in the kitchen, Sheng Jianan was not allowed to touch it at all, for fear that he would bump into something.
After washing up, the two stood in front of the refrigerator and looked for the remaining ingredients in the house.
Jiang Chi looked around and saw that there were no dishes available, but he still felt that he couldn't let Sheng Jianan down.
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Chi asked, "Shall we go out to eat?"
The parents repeatedly told them to take a taxi to the villa as soon as possible after dinner. Sheng Jianan didn't want to waste time, so he said, "Let's make some fried rice. Your fried rice is delicious."
Jiang Chi pinched his waist, which was too thin.
"Fried rice with egg doesn't have much nutritional value," Jiang Chi said.
"But I want to eat." Sheng Jianan looked up at him.
As their eyes met, Jiang Chi licked his teeth, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "You don't even call me brother when you act like a spoiled child?"
"...I'm not acting like a spoiled child." Sheng Jianan said as he took out a few eggs from the refrigerator and walked to the kitchen.
Jiang Chi followed him, put his arms around his waist and held him in his arms.
"What are you doing, Jiang Chi?" Sheng Jianan wanted to take his hand away. "Auntie told us to go over early after dinner."
"Sheng Nannan." Jiang Chi turned his chin, looked him in the eye, and said, "I noticed that you seem to have never called me brother since we were little?"
really. Sheng Jianan glanced at him and said nothing.
"Why don't you call me brother?" Jiang Chi asked.
When I was a child, it was because Jiang Chi was too young and too naive. Although he always acted like a little adult and tried hard to learn to take care of him, Sheng Jianan still couldn't call a little kid brother. Moreover, they are of the same age, just a few months apart, and their parents do not insist on them calling each other brothers.
Although Jiang Chi did not hear the word "brother" as he wished, he still happily walked into the kitchen to prepare lunch for Sheng Jianan.
He took a black apron from the kitchen and threw it to Sheng Jianan: "Come and help me tie the apron."
Sheng Jianan was silent for a moment, walked over, and prepared to help him put on the apron from behind.
Jiang Chi turned around, lowered his head cooperatively, and opened his hands slightly. There was a kitchen sink behind him, and Sheng Jianan couldn't turn around, so she could only put her arms around his waist and tie an apron for him.
After tying the apron, Sheng Jianan stood up and was kissed on the forehead.
"You bumped into me yourself." Jiang Chi smiled shamelessly.
After saying that, he turned around, heated up the pan, and prepared to make fried rice.
Sheng Jianan retreated to the kitchen door and looked at his back.
In fact, Jiang Chi should have been a young master who had everything he wanted, but because of him, all the first times were given to him.
Feeding him for the first time.
First time putting him to sleep.
It was the first time I washed his underwear.
First time cleaning his room.
First time cooking for him.
The first time I gave him a massage.
…
There are so many memories between them, and every inch of them is filled with Jiang Chi's kindness to him, so good that when Sheng Jianan thinks about it now, he feels as if his heart is suffocating.
For the first time, he felt that it would be nice if his life could have stayed the same fifteen years ago. At least I don't have to live in fear for fifteen years, nor do I have to try to gain and then lose...
Sheng Jianan tilted his head slightly, letting the moisture in his eyes flow back into his eye sockets. After being in a daze for a while, she walked behind Jiang Chi and hugged him gently: "Brother, happy birthday."
Jiang Chi paused, and before he could react, he heard Sheng Jianan say, "When you make other friends in the future, can you come back to see me occasionally?"
Jiang Chi turned around and saw Sheng Jianan with his head lowered. He looked for a moment, then carried Sheng Jianan to the kitchen sink, lifted his chin, and his eyes were red.
"Sheng Jianan." Jiang Chi frowned, his expression and tone were unusually serious, "Tell me, what happened to you recently?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Chi slowed down his tone and coaxed, "Why do you always feel that I have other friends?"
Jiang Chi felt it was a little unbelievable: "Even if I have other friends, Sheng Nannan, why do you think I would leave you because of other people?"
"It wasn't easy for me to raise you." Jiang Chi coaxed him, "Think about it yourself, Sheng Nannan, I was just a child back then."
Sheng Jianan still kept his eyes lowered and said nothing. Only his slightly trembling eyelashes revealed his emotions.
"Tell me, why do you have this idea?" Jiang Chi stroked his face with one hand and held his hand with the other. "When did it start?"
After a long while, Sheng Jianan tightly grasped his hand, his throat choked a little: "I have had several dreams, and I always dreamed that you left me after today's birthday party."
As he spoke his chest rose and fell, and his breathing began to quicken slightly again.
Jiang Chi patted him on the back, looked at him for a long time, and said, "Then how can I make you believe that I will never leave you no matter what."
After a slight pause, he said, "We are not going to the party."
Sheng Jianan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Whether I go in the dream or not, the result will be the same."
"...Is there no other way to make you less scared?" Jiang Chi frowned slightly, "If I didn't leave you after the birthday party, would you stop having these random thoughts?"
Sheng Jianan raised his head.
Jiang Chi held his hand and interlocked his fingers: "Don't leave me for a second today, look at me. I won't say a word to anyone I meet if you don't like them. Okay?"
Sheng Jianan still looked at him.
"It's all up to you." Jiang Chi lifted the back of his hand and pecked it lightly, "Whoever you want me to know, I'll know him. If you don't want me to know him, I won't know him. I'll listen to you in everything."
-
When we arrived at the Jiang family villa, it was already late. Grandpa Jiang had also arrived. The two families were sitting together chatting, and there were some elders whom we didn't know sitting next to them.
As soon as Jiang Chi and Sheng Jianan walked into the hall, they were quickly called over by several elders.
Jiang Chi led Sheng Jianan over, and the two of them greeted Grandpa Jiang first, and then politely called all the elders present, calling those of the appropriate age uncles and aunts.
Seeing that Jiang Chi was still holding Sheng Jianan's hand, Jiang's mother tried to maintain a decent smile on her face: "Jiang Chi, please be polite when greeting your elders. Let Nan Nan go, don't let uncle and aunt laugh at you."
Jiang Chi pretended not to hear.
Then, a perceptive aunt smiled and said, "It's okay, we are used to it. Your two children have been like this since they were young. I still remember that when they were young, the two of them always held hands and ate small cakes from one table to another. Sheng Jianan would take a small bite and Jiang Chi would eat the rest."
"Yes." Another elder also said, "I still remember Jiang Chi asked his father what was in the cup and asked him to take a sip. As a result, after taking a sip of the wine, he couldn't walk steadily. I took the opportunity to lie to him and said that I would take Sheng Jianan away when he fell asleep. I scared him so much that he cried and made a fuss to take Sheng Jianan home. The relationship between these two children is still as good as when they were children. It's not easy."
After hearing all these embarrassing stories, Jiang's mother asked the two to go upstairs and change their clothes first.
Walking up the stairs, Jiang Chi laughed and turned around: "Sheng Nannan, why was I so smart when I was a child?"
"Hmm?" Sheng Jianan raised his head.
Jiang Chi said happily: "I have been able to stake out my territory since I was young."
In fact, he had no memory of many of the things his elders said. But those things do sound like something he would do.
Hearing this, it seems that Jiang Chi has indeed not changed since he was a child. His appearance and personality have both increased in proportion. Sheng Jianan thought.
After going upstairs, the two walked into Jiang Chi's room. There was indeed no sign that anyone had ever lived in his room. There was not even any bedding. It was completely empty. All that was left were the boxes of two suits on the coffee table.
Taking their age into consideration, the suits that Jiang's mother made for them all had a retro style. Jiang Chi's suit has some gold edges on the sleeves, while Sheng Jianan's suit has some gold edges on the collar, which highlights the vitality of their age and a touch of nobility.
The two suits put together look a bit like a couple's suit. This was the first time that Jiang Chi was so satisfied with the clothes his mother picked.
After Jiang Chi finished buttoning his shirt, Sheng Jianan looked up at him. Although it was not the first time he saw Jiang Chi wearing a suit, he would always feel his eyes light up every time he saw him.
Although Jiang Chi is usually a bit carefree, he is the kind of person who is good at what he does and what he wears.
Noticing Sheng Jianan's gaze, Jiang Chi buttoned up his suit, raised his eyes, and slightly raised his eyebrows: "Are you impressed by my handsomeness?"
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan said, "Would you like to take a group photo?"
"You took the photo but you didn't post it on your Moments." Although he said that, Jiang Chi immediately stood beside him and said, "Sheng Nannan, you need to learn to get along with your classmates. You have so many of our couple fans on WeChat. They have added you for so long, isn't it time to give them some benefits?"
"...Okay." Sheng Jianan said.
Of course they had to show off their couple suits when taking a photo. In order to show that their two suits were a pair, Jiang Chi deliberately exposed the gold edge on his sleeves at Sheng Jianan's collar, and then put his head against his.
With a click, a photo is frozen. Sheng Jianan thought about it and posted it to his Moments with the caption “Happy Birthday”.
-
The elders were chatting downstairs, so Jiang Chi and Sheng Jianan stayed upstairs for a while. I was so sick of it that it lasted until the evening.
The guests arrived one after another, and seeing that it was almost time, Mother Jiang called and asked them to come downstairs.
Quite a few people had already arrived, including many elders, many students of their age, and Ling Mo had also arrived.
When they saw them appear at the stairs, many people downstairs raised their eyes and saluted them.
Fortunately, Jiang Chi still knew his limits. Since Sheng Jianan didn't want to attract too much attention and didn't want to walk hand in hand, he didn't force him too much.
As soon as he saw them coming downstairs, Ling Mo was the first to rush over: "Wow, the birthday boy is really extraordinary today."
After that, he looked around, lowered his voice, and said to Jiang Chi: "Hey, are you going to take over your company? Why are there so many elders coming to celebrate your birthday?"
Before Jiang Chi could speak, Jiang's mother came over and said, "Jiang Chi."
Several younger generations greeted her one by one. Jiang Ma responded politely and said to Sheng Jianan and Jiang Chi, "Last time, you ran away without eating at Grandpa Mi's 60th birthday party. Go and apologize to him later. Be polite."
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
The next second, Sheng Jianan saw a white-haired old man walking in from the door. He was leaning on a cane, and a young boy was beside him.
The young boy looked around the hall as if looking for someone, then paused and looked at them.
At the same time, Sheng Jianan noticed that Jiang Chi beside him also raised his head and looked over.
In an instant, the noise faded away and the whole world was silent.
Only Sheng Jianan's clearly audible heartbeat remained.
