“We just asked him to tell us how you met, but he hesitated and wouldn’t say, looking like a thief trying to steal our trust.”
He thought of his first meeting with Luo Jianxing, chuckled softly, and his dark eyes shifted slightly: "Our first meeting was indeed quite remarkable, I still remember it vividly!" He emphasized the last four words.
"Quick, quick, tell me about it."
"One winter day that year, the ground was icy, and I was standing by the roadside, holding my phone and looking down to reply to messages."
"At that moment, a bizarre man with pink hair lost his footing and charged at me. I tried to dodge, but it was too late, and he tackled me to the ground."
"He slid all the way down while holding me, and he almost stole my first kiss."
"My phone was also broken, and he said he would replace it for me, and that's how we met."
Luo Jianxing covered his face and said, "Don't mention that kiss or anything like that, they'll misunderstand."
Li Man patted his abs with the back of her hand: "What's there to hide? I thought you lost a game and had to wear women's clothes for a day, and then you accidentally wandered into Anian's private room."
“Yes, and then he said,” Luo Shimiao rolled up his sleeves and said vividly, “I’ve never experienced rejection before. Very well, you’ve successfully caught my attention.”
After you left the private room, Gu Nian said to his assistant, "Three minutes. I need all the information on this woman."
"I want her to be imbued with my scent, so she can never escape it in this lifetime, and she will be my woman for life."
Gu Nian: "........."
Luo Jianxing: "........."
Gu Nian closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with two fingers: "Miao Miao, are you really going to kill the conversation?"
"You should read less of those domineering CEO novels."
Luo Jianxing poked her forehead: "Exactly, your brain is filled with those melodramatic plots."
"Hmph, the more melodramatic the better," Luo Shimiao stuck out her tongue.
Li Man winked at her: "I recently found a great book. I'll send you the title later. You won't regret buying it."
"Manman, what book is it? I want to read it too."
"Cough cough..." Luo Shimiao looked away, her eyes darting around.
Little Green flapped its wings excitedly and said, "I know, I know, Master calls that 'little face with yellow markings'."
“I listened to a story while Master was taking a bath last time, and I remembered two sentences.”
"The first sentence is, I have 70 ways to please you, the first is shopping, and the last is 69."
"There's another line: I traveled over mountains and across oceans to see you, just to hear your rapid breathing in my ear."
“............”
Luo Shimiao threw away her phone, buried her head in the blanket, and felt as if her body was about to be cremated.
Li Man stared straight at it and said, word by word, "You are truly my good disciple!"
"Master taught me well." Little Green was completely unaware that something was wrong, and jumped around on the bed, very happy.
Luo Jianxing brought his face close to the screen and said, "We're going to sleep now, let's hang up." He tapped his finger to end the video call.
"Manman, come to my room. What novel would you like to hear? I'll read it to you."
“I don’t want to watch now. Miao Miao said she’s lonely sleeping alone and wants me to keep her company,” he said, nudging Luo Shi Miao with his foot.
Luo Shimiao took her flushed face out and nodded.
He shook his head and sighed, "Alright then."
......
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At 3 p.m., Luo Shimiao, Li Man, and Luo Jianxing put the gifts in the trunk and drove to Gu Nian's house.
The day before, Su Jingwen sent a message to Luo Shimiao, inviting them to come over and celebrate Gu Nian's birthday together.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped in the yard of a villa.
Luo Jianxing saw the tall figure standing in front of the door, unbuckled his seatbelt, took something from the passenger seat, and said, "Proceed according to plan." He opened the car door and jumped out of the driver's seat.
The two people in the back seat said in unison, "Okay."
The three walked toward Gu Nian, with Little Green flying above their heads.
Seeing that their hands were hidden behind their backs, Gu Nian laughed and said, "It's enough that you're here, why bring gifts?" Then she changed the subject and said, "Stop hiding them, take them out quickly."
Luo Shimiao shook the object in her hand, and a cloak embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon appeared in her hand. She then draped it over Gu Nian's shoulders, picked up the ribbon, and tied it into a pretty bow.
He circled around him once, then nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, majestic and imposing."
After Li Man unfurled the banner behind her, Luo Jianxing turned the salute cannon in his hand towards Gu Nian.
"Bang!" Peach-colored petals fell from the sky.
They said in unison, "May Mr. Gu, handsome, dashing, and elegant, enjoy boundless happiness and longevity!"
Gu Nian saw the 14 eye-catching characters in the middle of the banner, forced a smile, accepted the banner, and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth: "Thank you."
They saw his helpless expression and barely suppressed their laughter.
Luo Jianxing patted him on the shoulder: "Bro, are you satisfied with the gift?"
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied." Gu Nian waved his cloak, took Luo Shimiao's hand, and said, "Let's go inside."
Luo Shimiao pulled her hand back: "Wait a minute." She ran to the trunk and took out the box of gifts: "We were just teasing you, this is the real gift."
"I'll take it." Gu Nian took the suitcase from her, raising an eyebrow slightly. This weight...
After entering the house,
Gu Ming saw the group of young people walk in, and a smile appeared on his serious face: "You're here."
