Ji Mingyue's phone kept ringing unrelentingly.
"...Wait a minute, I, I'll see who it is." Ji Mingyue had to step back a little bit, panting slightly, and fumbled for the phone on the sofa with his fingers.
Lin Feng fished out the phone for him and handed it to him. Ji Mingyue also saw the caller ID clearly: it was Wen Erya calling.
"Did you fall into the toilet? If you don't pick me up again, we will go to the toilet to catch you!" As soon as he picked up the phone, before Ji Mingyue could say "Hello", a gentle voice came from the other end , "Should we go?"
"No need!" Ji Mingyue said speechlessly, "I'm just... lost! It's too big here, so I'll go around a few more times."
"You're so stupid," Wen Erya said casually, "Come back quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
"Why are you waiting for me? Why don't you just buy a snack, are you so greedy?"
"Uh," Wen Erya paused for a moment, and said, "Don't worry about it so much, come back quickly. It's so late, it's not safe outside, I'm afraid you will be caught by wolves."
"Get out." Ji Mingyue cursed with a smile, hung up the phone, and looked at Lin Feng embarrassedly by the flickering light of the phone screen, "...how about we go back first?"
"Well, let's go." Lin Feng raised his hand and pinched his face, and began to bend sideways to pick up the scattered things on the ground.
Seeing this, Ji Mingyue quickly got up from him, ran to the door of the box to turn on the headlights: "I'll pick it up for you."
Fortunately, the fruit bowls and dried fruits he helped buy were all pre-packaged, so they wouldn't be scattered all over the floor. The beer he bought was also in cans. Although it rolled all over the floor, there was no need to worry about spilling it.
The two put their things back into the bag together, and went back to room 608. When he pushed the door, Ji Mingyue felt a little strange, and turned around and said, "Why does it feel so quiet inside..."
Not only was it quiet, but it was also dark when viewed from the crack of the door. The previous group of demons dancing in disorder had disappeared without a trace. Ji Mingyue also looked up at the house number, and after confirming that it was 608, he muttered, "Everyone go home Is it?" He walked in.
In the darkness, several people rushed over and hugged him. Ji Mingyue instinctively took a few steps back, feeling his back pressed against Lin Feng's body, and felt a little relieved: "Damn, what are you doing?" ah!"
With a "snap", the light suddenly brightened in front of his eyes, and in the white light, Ji Mingyue heard everyone shouting: "Surprise!!!"
Ji Mingyue squinted his eyes, and it took him a while to get used to the bright light. Now the light in the box was turned on as bright as day, and there were some colorful balloons scattered around on the ground. It reads "Happy 18th birthday to Ji Mingyue".
After turning on the lights, the speakers that had been turned off before were turned on again. They ordered songs in advance, and the joyful and festive DJ version of ""Happy Birthday to You"" filled the entire box.
Everyone around had bright smiles on their faces, and Wen Erya returned and put a paper golden crown on his head.
"...you guys, suddenly your conscience found out?" Ji Mingyue held the birthday crown on top of his head with his hands, and he was still a little bit unresponsive, "You still play surprise parties... have you watched too many idol dramas?"
"Damn, we've been preparing for so long, you can't cooperate," Feng Rui said, "Wipe some tears, say something sensational?"
"I have embarrassing cancer, I can't say it." Ji Mingyue coughed, pulled Lin Feng to the direction of the cake, looked around the group of classmates and friends with smiles on their faces, and said sincerely, "But, um, I In fact, I am very happy, thank you brothers.”
In his previous life, he went abroad in his freshman year of high school, how many precious things did he miss...
A girl present laughed and said, "Thanks to your brothers?"
Ji Mingyue turned his head and glanced at her, and found that he didn't recognize her, but she was familiar. It seemed that she was from the class next door and had given her a gift.
Even if most of the people are here to join in the fun this time, it's a heartfelt gesture. Ji Mingyue smiled at her: "Okay, then change it to thank you, brothers and sisters!"
The girl laughed and trembled wildly, but Lin Feng squeezed Ji Mingyue's hand gently.
Ji Ming turned his head to look at Lin Feng, and found that he had just looked away from the girl and glanced at each other. Ji Ming felt more and more funny, and gently pinched her back with his hands.
Forces are reciprocal. But Ji Mingyue didn't feel any pain at all, instead it was as sweet as if he had eaten the cream cake on the table.
"What's the matter with you and Lin Feng? You said to go to the toilet, but after going there for more than half an hour, all of them disappeared." Feng Rui complained, "You came back together, you two had a fight in the toilet ?"
"Ah?" Ji Mingyue was at a loss for words for a while, wondering if anyone had noticed their little gesture just now, and hurriedly put his hands away, "... Who knows, it just happened to happen."
He had already walked to the side of the sofa, knelt on one leg, and pretended to unwrap the tableware and candles that came with the cake: "Why are you talking about this, quickly cut the cake, it's too late now, girls have to go home early, otherwise Not safe."
"Wait a minute, put the candles in first, I specially bought a big cake that can hold candles," Wen Erya hurriedly said, "Let's make a wish together!"
"Oh, I almost forgot." Ji Mingyue unpacked the candles with his own hands, counted them one by one, and inserted eighteen into them. Seeing him insert the candle, someone went to the wall and turned off the light, leaving only a dark blue light in the center of the ceiling.
The light of this lamp was almost zero, and even the outline of the person facing each other could not be seen clearly. Everyone formed a circle, closed their eyes and clapped their hands to make a wish in front of the dancing candlelight.
When Ji Mingyue closed his eyes, the first thought that popped up in his mind was "I hope Lin Feng will be safe, healthy, and have a smooth and worry-free life", and after that, "I hope that Lin Feng and I will always be together." Be happy together."
However, the second wish had just begun, when someone was playing around and accidentally bumped into his elbow, interrupting his thoughts.
Ji Mingyue paused for a moment, and then opened his eyes naturally—the wish is not to be too greedy at one time, otherwise nothing will work.
When he opened his eyes, he happened to see Lin Feng also opened his eyes. Under the dim blue light, Lin Feng's facial features appeared extremely deep, but his eyes were gentle, and the corner of his mouth raised to him - it was a smile.
The more Ji Ming stared at his lips, he almost immediately remembered the feeling of two people kissing in the dark just now, his face was "booming" hot, but luckily the light was too dim for others to see it.
When the headlights were turned on and the room was as bright as day again, Ji Mingyue lowered his head solemnly, removed the paper plates and plastic forks that came with the cake, and distributed them to the people around him.
In line with the principle of "don't let the birthday person get tired", the cake was cut by several people in a hurry. There are many people with mixed hands, so the cutting is quite chaotic.
Ji Mingyue was divided into the largest piece with the most fruit on it, and the edges were still cut crookedly and covered with butter, but he didn't care about it like everyone else, and ate it happily.
"When you made a wish just now." Seeing that everyone started fighting and smearing cream on each other's faces, and no one paid attention to him, Ji Mingyue whispered to Lin Feng, "How many wishes did you make?"
Lin Feng casually forked the strawberries off his cake and fed them into his mouth: "One, what's the matter?"
"Hmm..." Ji Ming was in a hurry to speak, he just chewed two mouthfuls, his cheeks stretched round, "I only have one, but it seems a little bit of a loss, I think they closed their eyes for so long, they must have promised several .”
"One is fine, what else do you want to wish for?"
"It won't work if you say it." Ji Mingyue said, "Anyway, I want to make a lot of wishes."
"Then make the kind of wish that really needs to be made." Lin Feng wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, "Other things that can be achieved with hard work, leave them to me."
"You seem to be right." The more Ji Ming thought about it, his eyes rolled up, "What can be achieved with hard work... I will leave it to you and me."
It was nearly midnight when everyone came out of the KTV.
The more Ji Ming was afraid of something going wrong, he watched them get into the taxi one by one before he felt relieved, so when he and Lin Feng got home, the clock had already pointed to two o'clock in the morning.
Although it was late at night, Ji Mingyue was not sleepy at all. He lay cross-legged on the sofa, turned on the TV, patted his side, and asked Lin Feng to come and sit together.
Today is the ninth day of the new year, and CCTV has been replaying this year’s Spring Festival Gala in the early hours of the morning. When he turned on the TV, it happened to be replaying the songs of the Little Tigers. The lyrics were impressive, and the melody was brainwashing. He hummed along:
"I want to take you to watch the sea and say I love you/Say I miss you to your brightest star/Listen to the oath of the sea/Look at the persistent blue sky/Let us fall in love freely..."
When he hummed the last sentence, Lin Feng just turned his head to look at him, making Ji Mingyue look away a little embarrassed: "Cough... what are you looking at me for, watching TV!"
Lin Feng said calmly, "It's pretty."
Ji Ming was stunned for a second before he realized that Lin Feng meant "Because you are good-looking", and "You are better-looking than TV" and "So I don't watch TV to watch you", his face turned red immediately.
Right now, he didn't have to worry about being seen by others, but he still couldn't help but turned around and rushed over, buried his face on Lin Feng's shoulder, arching back and forth like a small animal.
If he didn't still remember his dignity as a human being, he would have cried out.
He actually fell in love with Lin Feng...
"By the way," Lin Feng rubbed his hair, as if wanting him to leave a bit, "I'll get you your present..."
Have you really prepared an adult birthday present? However, although he was looking forward to the gift, he was especially reluctant to part with the temperature around him at this moment...
"Wait, Lin Feng." Ji Mingyue raised his head and grabbed Lin Feng's hand, "You can put the gift of coming of age again, I now... want something else."
