Chapter 2357: His Birthday Today
Gu Yang leaned against the door lazily, looking at Ye Tian with raised eyebrows. “Why are you here?”
“Shen Mingxiu said that you’re sick.”
Gu Yang had one hand in her pocket and the other rubbing her messy hair. Her voice was hoarse from illness. “Come in!”
Ye Tian walked into the hallway, planning to change her shoes. Gu Yang took the things in her hand and said, “You don’t have to change.”
He had already stepped into the living room.
Ye Tian followed him in.
The living room was decorated in a modern style. It was simple and grand, but there were no potted plants at home, making it look cold.
“I brought food. Eat something first and take your medicine in half an hour.”
Ye Tian walked around the dining room and living room, but did not find a water bottle. She looked at the young man standing in the living room. The setting sun shone in from the window, hiding his thin and tall body in the light. Perhaps it was because he was sick, his well-defined face had lost some weight and his face looked even colder.
“The kitchen.”
Ye Tian nodded and pointed at the food on the coffee table. “Our Uncle Chef made it. I like it very much. Try it.”
Gu Yang swept her teeth with the tip of her tongue and responded lazily, “Got it.’
It was rare for him to be so obedient. If Shen Mingxiu and the rest were here, they would definitely cheer.
Ye Tian went into the kitchen. There was a kettle on the kitchen counter and there was no more water inside.
The kitchen counter was very clean and it was obvious that it had not been turned on.
Ye Tian found a few bottles of mineral water in the fridge and poured them into the water bottle.
After the water bottle was plugged in, he could not find the power switch. He was feeling around when he heard footsteps behind him.
The teenager’s low and hoarse voice sounded above her head. “What’s wrong?”
“Why doesn’t your water bottle have a switch?”
The moment she finished speaking, the teenager’s soft laughter sounded above her head.
That laughter sounded like laughter to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian turned back and glared at him. “What are you laughing at?”
“You’re a little princess, right? You don’t even know how to boil water.” With that said, the teenager’s slender and fair hand reached out from behind her and pressed the bottom of the pot.
Ye Tian was immediately embarrassed.
Her long and thick eyelashes were lowered and she explained herself softly, “I seldom boil water usually, but after staying in the dormitory, I learned to wash my own clothes...” Although it was not clean and the servants in the palace helped to wash it after returning, it was at least an improvement for her.
Ever since she was young, her family had doted on her and she had never done anything.
However, it was really embarrassing that she could not even find the switch to start the kettle.
Ye Tian covered her face with her hands, wanting to go out, but Gu Yang grabbed her slender arm. “I’m not laughing at you. Look at where you’re going and don’t fall.”
Ye Tian put down the hands covering her face and met Gu Yang’s smiling eyes. Her scalp turned numb. “Can I borrow your washroom?”
Gu Yang lifted her chin. “Go, turn left in the living room.”
A minute later.
Gu Yang was pouring water for Ye Tian when she suddenly heard Ye Tian’s awkward and strange voice. “Remember to take your medicine later. I’m leaving.”
Without waiting for Gu Yang to say anything, Ye Tian left hurriedly.
When Gu Yang came out of the kitchen, she only saw her slender back when she left.
Gu Yang ran to the washroom.
He had planned to take a bath earlier and there was a pair of his underwear in the washroom.
Did she leave in a hurry after seeing this?
Tsk, she was so easily embarrassed!
Gu Yang kept her underwear and threw them on the bed before striding out of the door.
Ye Tian was waiting for the elevator anxiously, the blush on her sweet face still present.
Hearing footsteps, Ye Tian looked up.
Gu Yang came over.
Ye Tian pressed the elevator button, hoping to leave quickly.
The elevator door opened and Ye Tian was about to enter when a tall figure suddenly blocked her way.
“You’re leaving?”
Ye Tian lowered her thick and long eyelashes, the strange feeling in her heart rising again.
It could not be suppressed.
Actually, it was not like she had never seen a boy’s underwear before. She often saw Ye Yu’s when he was young.
But when she saw Gu Yang earlier, she felt awkward and embarrassed. “I’m afraid my mother and the rest will be worried if I go back too late.”
Gu Yang glanced at her flushed face. Her lowered eyelashes were long and dense like a doll’s. Under her tall nose, her lips were as pink as cherry blossoms. Gu Yang pursed her lips and swallowed.
Ye Tian knew that he was looking at her and his eyes were burning like a wolf.
Ye Tian started to panic unconsciously.
Without saying anything more to him, she walked into the elevator.
Gu Yang did not chase after him, but after the elevator door closed, she said hoarsely, “Today’s my birthday. ”
The elevator was already going down.
A mocking and cold smile appeared on Gu Yang’s lips.
To him, birthdays only reminded him of the pain and blame.
What was there to be happy about?
Wasn’t it the same every year?
Gu Yang put her hands in her pockets and returned to her room casually.
Gu Yang did not eat any of the food Ye Tian had brought.
He sat on the sofa in the living room, his long legs placed on the coffee table.
He had a cigarette in his mouth and looked up at the ceiling, exhaling smoke nonstop.
He was decadent and lazy.
After some time, the lights in the living room suddenly dimmed.
He was still unmoved, as if the lack of electricity had no impact on his life.
In the dark space, she could vaguely see his tall and thin face and the flickering scarlet fireworks.
In this silence where one could hear a pin drop, a soft and sweet voice suddenly sounded.
“Happy birthday to you. ”
“Happy birthday to you. ”
When she sang the third song, several more voices joined in.
Gu Yang looked up and saw a slender figure slowly walking toward him with a birthday cake with a candle.
Behind her were Shen Mingxiu and a few others whom he could recognize even if they turned into ashes.
After the birthday song, Ye Tian put the cake on the coffee table.
“Brother Yang, blow out the candles. F*ck, there’s a blackout in your high-end district!” Shen Mingxiu shouted.
Gu Yang sat on the sofa, motionless as if she had been fixed in place.
“Brother Yang, you’re so mean. We’ve been brothers for so many years, but we didn’t even know it was your birthday today.” Qi Yuan complained.
Gu Yang told him to scram.
Hearing Gu Yang finally speak, they cheered, “Hurry up and make a wish to blow out the candles!”
Gu Yang ignored Shen Mingxiu and the rest. He glanced at Ye Tian, who was standing by the side with a smile on her face. He stubbed out his cigarette and stood up lazily.
She blew out the candle without making a wish.
“Brother Yang, don’t you have any wishes?”
“Can it come true just because you made a promise?” Gu Yang raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Tian, her thin and long eyes narrowed slightly. “Do you think it can come true?”.
