We failed to invite Miao Liang and his group for the evening entertainment, so it was all paid for by General Bai.
Bai Luochuan has not been so busy recently. Both Luo Jiangjing's company and his own company are running on track. He is not short of money. The money that Mr. Bai gave him is enough to last a lifetime. He does this just because he is interested in it and wants to try the feeling of challenge.
Mi Yang has been studying in Beijing in recent years, and Bai Luochuan's company has also remained in Beijing, completely separated from Shanghai.
Mi Yang didn't know how much he had earned, but whenever he went back home during the holidays, Luo Jiangjing would jokingly call him "Mr. Xiaobai", which sounded like he had quite a bit of savings, and he had made a lot of money from several well-invested businesses.
Mi Yang didn't care much about these things. His family didn't buy more houses. In addition to the original houses and shops, Cheng Qing bought a small house for him and his sister Mi Xue. They kept the rest of the money and lived a comfortable life.
Mi Yang was greatly influenced by his family and felt that the current life was enough. He went to school happily every day and learned skills from Professor Zhang. In his spare time, he went on vacation with Bai Luochuan - such time was rare. In the past few years, Bai Luochuan was busy and it was good if he could spare two or three days a year. Most of the time, the two of them spent time at home.
Young Master Bai felt that he couldn't hold hands when he went out. This kind of life was really annoying and he felt even more comfortable than at home.
Mi Yang let him do whatever he wanted. He also liked to stay at home, read a book when he had free time, and lie on the sofa, where a whole day would pass in a blink of an eye. He felt very comfortable.
When we were having a party in the evening, we happened to run into another group of fellow students from the hospital who came to play. After asking, we found out that this group of people had come to a "bachelor party". The guy was getting married, and a group of good brothers invited him out to spend his last night as a bachelor.
The man recognized Mi Yang and the others and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you all. I just didn't want to have a big wedding. My wife and I are both from other places, so I wanted to get a certificate and go back to my hometown to have a wedding banquet."
Miao Liang said with a smile: "It's what we thought. I have discussed this with my partner as well. But you have to give us some of the wedding candy later. Congratulations in advance!"
The man smiled and said, "Congratulations, the rest of you brothers should also work hard. Bai Wei, the rest is up to you!"
Chen Baiwei was talking to someone through a headset, and when he heard him speak, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll borrow your good words."
Mi Yang was the youngest among them, so the senior brothers didn't rush him. They just left after saying a few words.
Bai Luochuan booked the largest private room here, which was spacious enough to invite a girl group to dance. The foreman also seriously recommended their resident singer and asked if they wanted to invite someone to sing.
Bai Luochuan randomly pointed at a few people on the ranking list and said to the foreman, "It's just a simple birthday celebration, don't make a fuss."
The foreman agreed and went down to prepare.
Miao Liang and the others ordered songs and sang for a while. Usually, Chen Baiwei was responsible for warming up the audience at this time, but at this moment he kept covering his earphones with his hands and had no time to talk to anyone. After a while he said "sorry" to everyone, got up and went out to answer a phone call.
Mi Yang was a little surprised and asked the people around him, "What happened to Brother Chen?"
Miao Liang also found it strange, but still shook his head and said, "I don't know. I haven't heard that he has a girlfriend. Maybe his family is looking for him."
But when it comes to his family affairs, everyone shakes their heads and says they don't know.
Chen Baiwei was a man who smiled gently and was very knowledgeable. It seemed that nothing could stump him. However, no one could pry open his mouth about things he wanted to keep secret, and he would not reveal a single word. Everyone only knew that Professor Zhang's family seemed to have helped him a lot, and that he had a close relationship with Professor Zhang's grandson Ren Jingnian. The rest was not clear.
After a while, the resident singer came, followed by a live band. They were all dressed very freshly, and the songs they sang were all birthday-related. Their voices were sweet and cheerful. They also brought live interaction and invited people in the private room to sing together. The atmosphere was quite lively.
Bai Luochuan sat in a dim corner and tilted his head to look at the people around him. Mi Yang listened very seriously, and Bai Luochuan also looked at him seriously.
After the evening's fun, the two went home.
Bai Luochuan leaned on the bed, flipping through a book in his hand, waiting for Mi Yang to come out of the bathroom. He rarely did not bother him and continued to read the book seriously.
Mi Yang sat on the edge of the bed and replied to the birthday greetings text messages sent by Mi Xue and the others. The little girl has grown up now and has a mobile phone like other children of her age. This time she secretly brought it to school and sent the message after the evening study class.
Bai Luochuan was turning the pages of a book loudly.
Mi Yang asked him, "What are you looking at?"
Bai Luochuan slowed down the speed of flipping through the book. "Just taking a look. This Michelin restaurant is good. A while ago, a friend of mine held a wedding banquet and invited the chef from this restaurant."
Mi Yang asked curiously: "How is it, is it delicious?"
Bai Luochuan frowned: "I don't know, I've never been married."
Mi Yang: “…”
When he said this, his meaning was obvious, so he simply stopped reading and looked up at Mi Yang.
Mi Yang looked at him with amusement: "You are not married yet, so you can't go to dinner?"
Bai Luochuan said, "The taste is different, the mood will affect people's appetite and taste." He lightly brushed away the hair on Mi Yang's forehead with his fingers, and then stroked his forehead to his cheek. "If I remember correctly, you are also of legal marriage age this year?"
Mi Yang: "It's not this year, it's today."
Bai Luochuan: "That's the time, right? How many people in your hospital have got married since the beginning of the year?"
Mi Yang couldn't refute this. He had received several invitations from his good friends in the school. The doctoral students under Zhang Lao were basically married late, and this year there were several couples happily holding hands. When the invitations were received, they were jokingly called "red bombs", saying that they had bought them with their monthly salary and that their school had little funding. But after joking, everyone dressed up and went to attend. Some brothers with low tear points even had red eyes.
They spent the best years of their youth in the ivory tower with their comrades. It is not easy to find someone they truly love on the long road of seeking knowledge.
Mi Yang took a detour in his previous life, and now he has found what he likes to do most. Still with the guidance of Old Zhang, he follows the procedures and moves forward slowly and at an unhurried pace. He does not feel a bit panicked, but feels that every day is better than the day before, and he smiles when he wakes up and opens his eyes.
Mi Yang was not in a hurry, but the person he was sleeping in the same bed with was obviously a little anxious.
Master Bai closed the book, looked at him and reiterated: "I think people should do what they should do at their age. What do you think?"
When Mi Yang saw him like this, he knew that his young master was preparing to cause trouble.
Bai Luochuan tapped his fingers on the book twice, and could not wait for his answer, so he said, "I feel that after preparing for so many years, it's almost time. I want a status."
Mi Yang asked him: "Are you going to tell your family?"
"Family is one thing, but I also have my own needs."
"What do you want?"
Bai Luochuan looked up at him, and after a while he stretched out his hand to scratch his nose, and said proudly: "Are you trying to trick me? I know I'm not the only one who's anxious, but I can't tell you now. Let me prepare and think about how to tell you."
