As Ruan Cunyun's birthday approaches, fans have been sending him congratulations on Weibo one after another.
The clever and talented fans have created a lot of things, including fan art, video clips, and cotton dolls. Ruan Cunyun receives several message reminders every day.
Although Ruan Cunyun usually ignores his fans, he always attaches great importance to birthday gifts, especially those made by fans themselves, which are full of their love.
Regardless of the quality of the work, Ruan Cunyun will like and comment on every Weibo post that mentions him.
Birthday week may be the time when Ruan Cunyun has the best relationship with his fans. Once a year, everyone will put aside words like "idiot" and "stinky sister" and express their love to Ruan Cunyun in a serious manner, praising his cosplay for healing the years and softening the time.
However, this year is a little different. In addition to praising Ruan Cunyun's cospy and wishing him a happy birthday, there are two more voices.
One of them is to wish Yamei complete success in chasing her idol, interact with Teacher Dan on the same stage, take photos with them, and directly reach the peak of her life!
Ruan Cunyun replied: "Thank you!"
Another possibility is that I wish Ya Mei’s boyfriend can succeed and make the unruly Ya Mei faint on the bed, so that he can fully experience the great harmony of life.
Ruan Cunyun was so amused by what he saw, and thought that Qin Fanglu couldn't see it anyway, so he replied bluntly, "Thank you!"
During the intermission, Ruan Cunyun went to the bathroom. Xu Feifei and Bai Qiangwei were arguing about what flavor of milk tea they wanted. Qin Fanglu finally got the chance. He planned to ask Qi Chang, who seemed the most reliable.
Qin Fanglu sat next to Qi Chang as if unintentionally and asked, "Can I ask how Ruan Cunyun celebrated his birthday in the past?"
In a bleak voice, he called out the names of the three cats, five characters for each cat, fifteen in total.
Qin Fanglu secretly raised his lips and called Ruan Cunyun a "stingy guy". Hearing that they could play games together and get food and drinks, the three otakus immediately agreed to come to the appointment.
The atmosphere was very relaxed and lively from the beginning, and the five of them lay sprawled in the living room playing games for half the afternoon.
The only possibility is that Teacher Dan once put herself on the QQ blacklist and then regretted it. She felt bad and wanted to make it up to herself.
Huya is very active at this time every year, so fans can feel free to have fun on his Weibo.
He replied to his fans: [Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible. Let's not take advantage of Mr. Dan's popularity! I'll be thankful if I can see Mr. Dan at the comic convention. ]
Qin Fanglu looked unhappy: "Compared with Mr. Xu, I admit I am inferior."
As expected, Bai Qiangwei asked the most common question, but also the one Qin Fanglu feared the most: "What is your cat's name?"
When Qin Fanglu mentioned this idea after get off work, Ruan Cunyun looked quite happy, then frowned slightly and asked, "You don't want to show them your secret home, do you?"
"Yes." Qin Fanglu nodded naturally and admitted generously, "I want to prepare well, but I don't know what is the best way."
The previous visit to the villa was hosted by Ruan Cunyun’s friends, and Qin Fanglu was a guest.
The three cats in the house successfully attracted the attention of all the guests. Each of them held one in their arms and refused to let go.
Now all the true colors have been revealed. We had agreed to arrive at 12 o'clock, but we had to wait until 1:30 before everyone gathered.
Before Qin Fanglu could say anything, Ruan Cunyun burst into laughter first, holding his stomach and bending over with laughter.
Qin Fanglu pretended not to understand: "Do you want to? I welcome them to come and play anytime."
It was such a lucky thing to receive birthday wishes from Teacher Dan. Ruan Cunyun couldn't even think about it, not even in his dreams.
Qi Chang secretly admired it in his heart and said, "It used to be very simple. We would eat cake together, order takeout at home, and play games all night."
Things have come to this point, with no way to escape. Qin Fanglu didn't expect that he could die again after dying once.
Ruan Cunyun pointed at Qin Fanglu and continued to laugh: "You say it yourself!"
After five words, everyone started laughing wildly, and the laughter became louder and louder. When Xu Feifei finished saying fifteen words, he was already on his knees laughing.
Qi Chang nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
[Hu Ya received birthday wishes from Teacher Dan in the morning, and was eaten up by her boyfriend in the evening. Isn’t this life too good! ]
Then he added, "Say your full name!"
When Cheng Kai was not around, the volume in the room was reduced by half, and the other half was taken over by Xu Feifei.
Although Xu Feifei didn't know what Ruan Cunyun was laughing at, she was infected by him and started to laugh foolishly. While laughing, she asked, "What are you laughing at, you idiot?"
White Rose gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."
The only regret is that Cheng Kai didn’t come because he had something to do at home.
[Fuck, that makes sense, I'll bet on it. ]
I still remember the day at the villa, the three of us got up early and arrived on time, wearing designer suits that looked cool and sexy.
"There's enough space for them to play downstairs in your house." Ruan Cunyun muttered.
This happened so suddenly that it made no sense.
Now their relationship is different from before. Qin Fanglu wants to host a party and invite Ruan Cunyun's friends to his home.
Xu Feifei laughed until she was hoarse: "Ruan Cunyun, your man is so immature, hahahahahahaha, I have never seen such an immature person!"
To be honest, Ruan Cunyun himself didn't know why Teacher Dan suddenly wanted to participate in the event with him.
But it happened a long time ago, and Teacher Dan still remembers it until now. Isn’t that too outrageous
Ruan Cunyun thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. He just regarded it as a pie in the sky, a red flower blooming on a iron tree. As long as they could successfully meet in person, everything could be explained.
[Not long ago, Mr. Dan personally voted to attend the comic exhibition with Huya. Can we wait for Mr. Dan to wish Yamei a happy birthday?]
The first is to exchange gifts, the second is to formally express one's sincerity, and the third is to secretly find out what type of birthday surprise Ruan Cunyun likes.
Ever since the last time the six of them had a crazy afternoon of fun in the secret base by accident, they haven't gotten together again.
Qi Chang was clear-headed and didn't beat around the bush. He smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Did you call us here to find out this?"
Qin Fanglu was not surprised at all because that was how he and Cheng Kai were.
Qin Fanglu thought for a moment and asked, "Does he have any action figures or anything like that that he really wants recently? Or something that he has always wanted but never got."
"There's no need for the action figures..." Qi Chang shook his head, "If he wants to buy one, just go ahead and buy it."
Then Qi Chang changed the subject, holding his chin and said nonchalantly: "There are some things that Ruan Cunyun has wanted for many years..."
"What?" Qin Fanglu straightened his back.
Qi Chang glanced at him and said, "But I don't think you can get it."
Qin Fanglu said: "It's okay, just tell me, I have money."
"It's not about money." Qi Chang smiled and said sincerely, "You should have asked me earlier. There are only a few days left until his birthday. Unless you have a wide network of contacts, it will be difficult to get it done."
Qin Fanglu put aside his pride and said, "Brother Qi, please explain clearly."
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm younger than you." Qi Chang waved his hand and finally said, "He really likes an artist named BALLS." "If you can get BALLS's signature, or a signed painting, or a happy birthday from Mr. Dan, Xiaoyun will be so moved that the world will fall apart."
After a pause, Qin Fanglu asked, "Are you so moved?"
"That's right!" Qi Chang clapped his hands, "Xiao Yun was one of her earliest fans, and I still like her very much."
Ruan Cunyun said it himself, and Hu Ya also wrote it down, but now hearing it again from Ruan Cunyun's friends, Qin Fanglu confirmed once again that Ruan Cunyun liked Teacher Dan very much.
After Qin Fanglu got over his previous joy, he felt inexplicably stressed.
He was afraid that he could not bear this love, and he was even more afraid that Ruan Cunyun would be disappointed after knowing Teacher Dan’s true identity.
"Okay, I understand." Qin Fanglu nodded seriously.
"Do you really want to try?" Qi Chang said, "If you can really get it, I will call you brother."
Qin Fanglu declined guiltily: "No need."
Finally, after some hesitation, Qin Fanglu said, "Please keep this a secret for me."
They were both boyfriends, so Qi Chang certainly understood and said with a smile, "Don't worry."
After playing the game for a while, the sun gradually went down and everyone's stomachs started to growl.
Seeing that it was almost time, Qin Fanglu went to the kitchen to cook. He had said in advance that he would show off his cooking skills.
There were only four people left in the living room. Xu Feifei was lying on the carpet, petting the cat, and asked casually, "Sister Ya, did you see that? Everyone hopes that you can receive Teacher Dan's birthday wishes this year."
White Rose laughed out loud: "Don't they celebrate every year?"
“But maybe it will work this year!” Xu Feifei gestured, “There are interactions on QQ and Weibo!”
Ruan Cunyun lay down peacefully: "Don't say anything. There will be no disappointment if there is no expectation."
Qi Chang suddenly said: "What if it comes true?"
After thinking about it, the possibility is still very low.
Ruan Cunyun said nonsense without any worries: "Then I will dance the Tuoyi dance for you."
Xu Feifei laughed: "You said it yourself! Don't forget it!"
Qi Chang glanced towards the kitchen and said, "We still want to live a little longer."
"What are you afraid of!" Ruan Cunyun said without restraint, "I'll just jump, he won't do anything to you!"
Just as he was about to arrive, Qin Fanglu came out with a plate of fragrant braised fish and asked loudly, "How's it going?"
The three of them laughed mercilessly. Ruan Cunyun instantly became as timid as a quail, and frantically tried to find a topic to cover up the criticism: "Ah... We are talking about BALLS, the painter I told you about before!"
Qin Fanglu accidentally found the right excuse, and immediately became nervous. He asked calmly, "Well, what happened to BALLS?"
"Just, just—" Ruan Cunyun racked his brains and tried to hide his chuckle.
"It seems that I have recently had a chance to meet my wife. If I am lucky enough to meet her, I will introduce her to you, haha! It just so happens that you also paint, although we are not from the same school, but maybe you can have a chat!"
Qin Fanglu was filled with mixed feelings, but nodded calmly, "Okay."
Bai Qiangwei, who had not heard the previous conversation between Qi Chang and Qin Fanglu, silently suppressed her laughter.
Haha, Qin Fanglu doesn't know who BALLS is, right? Even if he is a otaku, Mr. Dan's wide range of topics is still very impactful to ordinary otakus. I look forward to Qin Fanglu's shocked expression.
Qi Chang, who thought he knew everything, smiled in his heart. Yamei, Yamei, you still don't know what surprise your boyfriend is going to give you, right? Maybe he knows Teacher Dan much earlier than you!
Qin Fanglu had secretly vowed before that he hoped he would be sincere and frank with Ruan Cunyun from now on.
He silently repented at this moment, asking God to give him a few more days, forgive his selfishness and cowardice, and at least let him wear Teacher Dan's clothes to fulfill his boyfriend's wish.
After having a great time and enjoying a meal and praising Qin Fanglu's cooking skills, the five lazy guys lay in the living room with bulging bellies, browsing their phones.
Bai Qiangwei and Qi Chang leaned against each other naturally, their heads touching and their hair tangled together.
Xu Feifei crawled away from them and subconsciously went to Ruan Cunyun to cry: "Yun—these two are annoying my eyes again!"
The words ended abruptly, Xu Feifei's body stopped moving, and his eyes were dull.
Qin Fanglu was sitting on the sofa, and Ruan Cunyun was lying, with his head resting on Qin Fanglu's thighs very naturally.
Both of them were looking at their phones with the screens facing in their direction, but their atmosphere was very intimate and casual.
It is a state that only couples who have done the most intimate things can have.
Xu Feifei fell to the ground and felt herself breaking into pieces.
Ruan Cunyun was browsing his Weibo account with great interest, paying attention to the screen so that others wouldn't see him, and didn't pay any attention to what Xu Feifei was saying.
The small account receives much more chat messages than the main account, and a large number of people are betting whether Huya can receive Teacher Dan’s birthday wishes this year.
Qin Fanglu was also browsing Weibo. After browsing Huya’s main account, he went to his Yangweijun’s small account. There was nothing new, but he saw a lot of birthday wishes from fans, such as the one that wished Huya a happy birthday and made him faint on the bed…
What’s even more outrageous is that Ruan Cunyun replied “thank you” below.
Qin Fanglu felt dizzy and his head was swollen, not only in his head, but also in other places.
He looked at Ruan Cunyun who was resting his head on his legs, and finally resisted the urge to read the comments to him on the spot and then put them into practice.
Ruan Cunyun saw too many similar comments, all hoping that Teacher Dan would wish him a happy birthday.
But no matter how you look at it, this seems like a poisonous word. The more Ruan Cunyun read it, the more scared he became. He was afraid that if he really dared to dream this dream, he would be very disappointed.
He was ready to give up the idea and randomly forwarded a comment on his secondary Weibo account.
Ruan Cunyun's furry head rubbed against his thigh unconsciously. Qin Fanglu's breathing became disordered. He refreshed his Weibo in an anxious mood and saw that Yang Weijun had posted a new Weibo one second ago.
What Yangwei-kun reposted was a fan comment.
Fans said: [I bet a year of midnight snacks that this year, Mr. Dan will definitely send a sincere birthday blessing to Ms. Ya @BALLS who cured my Yangwei! ]
Yangweijun's repost was: [Thank you for the poisonous milk. I'm putting this here. If Teacher Dan can wish me a happy birthday, I will live-stream the dance of the Yi Dance (o^^o)]
Ruan Cunyun suddenly heard a crisp "click" sound in his ears. He looked up sharply and asked Qin Fanglu: "What's wrong?"
Qin Fanglu looked down at Ruan Cunyun, his face shrouded in the shadow of the light.
He smiled calmly: "It's okay. I accidentally cracked the screen of my phone."
