Chapter 188 Now who can tell the difference between Qingshan Xiaobao and Su Daji?
Zheng Xiumei followed Shan Qingshan's gaze and looked at the light board.
The air froze instantly.
The mother pulled out a hatchet.
Xie Miaomiao was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands.
The last meticulously crafted light board was unfortunately covered in dust.
Xie Miaomiao's father also didn't go to work today. He and Zheng Xiumei cooked a big meal to celebrate Shan Qingshan's birthday.
When they left, they made Shan Qingshan carry a lot of things.
Homemade braised beef and honeycomb tripe.
Some dried goods that Xie Miaomiao's father brought back from the seaside.
Zhou Chong gave Xie Miaomiao a dozen tickets.
It includes amusement parks, ski resorts, and various other recreational facilities under the Zhou family's ownership.
Xie Miaomiao screamed with joy.
"Thank you, Brother-in-law!"
Even after leaving Zheng Xiumei's house, Shan Qingshan still felt a little smug.
Zhou Chong: "What's wrong?"
"I feel like their family's..." child.
Zhou Chong smiled warmly, "Isn't it good?"
"It's not bad."
It just feels a bit like a dream.
"Where are you going again?"
"Let's go play."
We drove to the lakeside, changed to a small boat, and went up to the island in the middle of the lake.
This island is a resort.
The rooms are like small villas, nestled in a grove of green trees, and there is also a large lotus pond.
"This place is owned by one of my dad's uncles. There are lotus flowers over there. I'll go see if I can find any lotus pods for you. Wait for me under the shade of the tree."
Zhou Chong ran off as he spoke.
Shan Qingshan couldn't catch him.
"It's too hot."
"It's okay, as long as I run fast, I won't get sunburned!"
"...How are you going to get down?"
"There is a boardwalk over the water."
Bathed in sunlight, Zhou Chong ran further and further away.
"There are thorns on it!"
"Oh, I see!"
"..." means you shouldn't pick it, not that I'm reminding you.
There was probably a walking area in the middle of the lotus pond, and Shan Qingshan could see his running figure among the green lotus leaves.
Sometimes a gust of wind would blow, pressing down the lotus flowers and leaves, and Zhou Chong could be seen from Shanqing Mountain.
Undeterred by the scorching sun, the boy ran towards him joyfully, carrying a large bunch of lotus flowers. Before he even reached him, he offered the flowers forward, creating a warm and bright summer breeze that blew down the blooming lotus petals, like a special effect Zhou Chong had added to himself.
"elder brother!"
The summer breeze is intoxicating, but the person before me is even more captivating.
"There really are lotus pods!"
Zhou Chong's face was glistening with sweat.
Shan Qingshan reached out to touch him, but Zhou Chong misunderstood and thought he wanted money, so he dodged back.
"Wait a minute, it's a bit prickly."
Zhou Chong took out some tissues from his pocket and asked Qingshan Xiaobao to take out a few to wrap up the large bunch of lotus flowers and lotus pods before handing them to Shan Qingshan.
Shan Qingshan took it, half-hugging it in his arms, then took out a tissue, pulled his hand over, and gently wiped his palm.
Fortunately, there was no bleeding, just red marks.
Zhou Chong was frozen in place, grinning foolishly as he watched Shan Qingshan wipe him clean.
"Wife, you are more beautiful than a lotus flower."
The lotus flowers reflected on her pink face.
Now who can tell the difference between Qingshan Xiaobao and Su Daji?
Dan Qingshan's face flushed.
Zhou Chong took the paper from his hand and threw it into the trash can. He then peeled the lotus pods from his hands and led him forward.
After sharing the lotus pod, the two of them walked to the front of the house.
As soon as the door opened, with a "bang," the cold air from the air conditioner, wrapped in gold foil, rushed out.
Shan Qingshan stared blankly at the people filling the room.
You Liang, You Baichong, Qian Wei, Dong Hailan...
Chu Zheng, who appeared on the show with him and even flew in for two episodes, was a big fan of his carrying pole.
There was Quan Jing, and also classmates who were in Tan Cheng's project group.
Tan Cheng didn't come, but his classmates brought him a gift.
"Qingshan, it's been so long! Waaah, it's so great that it's your birthday, otherwise my director wouldn't have given me a day off! That damned bastard!"
The director of the variety show Qian Wei is currently on is the same director who filmed the variety show in the village back then.
"But he heard it was your birthday, so he asked me to bring you a gift. I hope you have a happy birthday."
You Liang pushed Qian Wei aside.
He lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't know my brother had hired so many people for you."
The gifts inside were piled up like a small mountain.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with my brother lately. Ever since he left from your place last time, he’s been keeping a very close eye on me! I have limited funds, so the things I bought weren’t very expensive.”
"I don't mind. Whatever it is, it's your kind intention, and I like it."
Really?
"Um."
It wasn't until evening that Shan Qingshan realized he had said "I like it" too early.
Everyone crowded around Shan Qingshan to talk, practically pushing him inside.
The birthday venue was decorated beautifully.
Zhou Chong put in a lot of effort, stuffing in a lot of roses and carefully matching various elements to make the whole venue look warm and dreamy.
The large cake on the table was exquisite and beautiful.
Zhou Chong originally wanted to celebrate his birthday like the rich kids in his circle: one cake for decoration, two for eating, and two for playing with.
but!
If he dares to waste food like that, he'll likely be kicked out by Qingshan Xiaobao the next day just because he stepped into the house with his left foot!
He can't endure this hardship.
Therefore, we had to put in extra effort to design this one.
Qian Wei had been craving this cake for ages!
She deliberately didn't bring her business card today!
Qian Wei helped put the candles in.
Zhou Chong brought a birthday hat and put it on Qingshan Xiaobao.
The others turned off their lights.
The candlelight was dim, and everyone's face was hidden behind the dim candlelight.
Shan Qingshan was surrounded by people, like a little prince being loved and protected.
Even at this point, Shan Qingshan was still somewhat dazed.
Are all these people here to celebrate his birthday?
"Brother Qingshan, quickly make a wish!"
Shan Qingshan suddenly remembered that the last time he made a wish was in elementary school, when he used matches instead of candles. That day was exceptionally hot during the day, and that night, the stars were dazzling.
He made a birthday wish.
It will rain tomorrow and the temperature will drop.
The wish was not fulfilled.
Zhou Chong gently tugged at his clothes, "Qingshan Xiaobao?"
Shan Qingshan turned his head as if snapping out of a daze.
In the flickering candlelight, Zhou Chong's face revealed an undisguised tenderness and deep affection.
Shan Qingshan's gaze returned to the candlelight, and he slowly closed his eyes.
If the gods could hear, birthday wishes could come true.
He hoped that the dream he had fabricated for Zhou Chong would come true.
Even when he was in his seventies or eighties, Zhou Chong was still by his side, and would still be full of energy, pestering him to call her "wife."
Shan Qingshan opened his eyes.
Qian Wei's eyes were bright.
"Is it settled?"
"Um."
"Blow out the candles! Blow out the candles!"
Shan Qingshan took a deep breath and blew out the candle.
The only source of light went out.
The room went dark in an instant.
Dan Qingshan felt his chin being pinched, and a soft touch pressed against his lips.
The air was filled with the aroma of cake mixed with freshly cut roses.
Someone said, "Turn on the lights quickly."
Dan Qingshan's heart was pounding. He dared not move, and even held his breath, for fear of being discovered.
He thought the kiss would be just a fleeting touch and then it would be over.
Who knew that once this person touched him, it was like they were glued to him, grabbing the back of his head and showering him with kisses.
Dan Qingshan vaguely heard You Liang speaking.
"Don't move, I'll go open it."
You Bochong said, "Stand still, I'll go."
Shan Qingshan gently nudged Zhou Chong, signaling him to stop.
Just before the lights came on, Zhou Chong whispered in his ear, "Brother, why were you looking at me just now?"
