Endless Fall

131 Unchanging Birthday Wish

Pei Zhi smiled. “Kiss me twice.”

With that, he felt a warm and moist feeling on his lips. Lin Jiao kissed him twice.

The smiles in their eyes were filled with love. Even the air seemed to have become sweet.

Chu Yuzhou swallowed the dog food silently and asked Qu Shao to continue spinning the bottle.

The wine bottle rolling on the lawn slowly stopped, pointing at Zhou Yanshen.

“I choose truth.”

“What type of woman do you like?”

“Elegant and generous.” He looked at Qian Yue. “That’d be better if she has a pair of beautiful eyes.”

Qian Yue remained calm, her expression unreadable.

She stared at the spinning wine bottle, looking forward to him choosing Dare.

After the first round ended, Chu Yuzhou, who was the last to receive the bottle, started the second round.

Seeing that the bottle was aimed at Qian Yue, he held back his laughter and said seriously, “Pick a person and ask him to do ten push-ups with you.”

“How?”

“Sit on his back.”

Qian Yue was conflicted, not knowing who to choose.

She first looked at Chu Yuzhou. Seeing that he was shaking his head and refusing with the excuse of feeling uncomfortable, she could only ask Zhou Yanshen to do it.

“Mr. Zhou, is that okay with you?”

“Sure.”

Zhou Yanshen was excited by being called “Mr. Zhou”. He got down on the lawn without hesitation.

He placed his palm on the ground. “Count it.”

“Okay.” Qian Yue sat down on his back.

She placed her right hand on his shoulder to stabilize herself, her charming voice lingering in his ears.

Zhou Yanshen’s ears went numb from hearing it.

He stared at the lawn and tried his best to ignore the softness in his back. When she counted to ten, he finally let out a breath.

“Brother Yanshen, are you tired?” Chu Yuzhou handed them a cigarette and raised an eyebrow teasingly.

“Not at all.”

Chu Yuzhou turned off the alarm on his phone and leaned towards Pei Yilan.

He whispered, “Another half hour.”

“Where is it?”

“In the trunk.”

Pei Yilan walked around and returned with several car keys. “Who’s going to help us bring it over?”

“There are people downstairs.”

Chu Yuzhou dragged her to the parking lot.

He opened a few trunks in a row and asked the waiter to move the boxes to the trolley. “Why is the firework gone?”

“Are you blind?” Pei Yilan raised her chin at the trolley. “They took it out already.”=

“Still four are missing.”

“Go and look in the back seat.”

Chu Yuzhou still couldn’t find it.

“Forget it.” Afraid he wouldn’t make it in time, he dragged her to the archway. “Leave the things here for now.”

“It’s too far away.” Pei Yilan asked the waiter to walk around to the back and hide the gift box under the long table.

She panted. “It’s time to tell them.”

“Alright.” Chu Yuzhou informed them one by one.

When it was five minutes to midnight, he asked the waiter to bring the cake over. “Brother Pei, let’s sit over there.”

Fresh and plump rose petals scattered on the spotless tablecloth, and a few candlesticks were arranged evenly.

The wine glasses were filled with red wine, decorating the table together with the rose petals.

Pei Zhi’s eyes were filled with gentleness.

He stopped in front of a dark gray simple cake and watched them light candles.

“Happy birthday to you…” Lin Jiao hummed the tune.

She looked at his face with a bright smile. Other than him, there was nothing else in her eyes.

“Make a wish!”

Pei Zhi closed his eyes.

He made the same wish that he had made for four years.

May she be safe and sound. May her wish be fulfilled. May she be loved and taken care of.

“Surprise!” When Pei Zhi opened his eyes, Chu Yuzhou and Shen Yi lit the firework.

The colorful fireworks filled the sky, creating beautiful images.

They all sent gifts to Pei Zhi one by one.

Lin Jiao, who was the last to send a gift, also took out a square box with a bow tie.

She handed it to him with both hands. “Open it.”

Pei Zhi opened the box.

Cartier’s logo gradually appeared. He subconsciously thought it was a wristwatch.

However, when he opened the box and saw a pair of rings, he felt like he had stopped breathing.

Lin Jiao was a little nervous. “Do you like it?”

“I like it.” Especially.

“Then I’ll put it on for you.” She carefully picked up the ring and asked him to reach out a hand.

“Where do you want to wear it?”

“Left middle finger.”

Pei Zhi’s fingertips were trembling.

He closed his eyes and felt the coldness of the ring pass through his fingers, his heart beating crazily as if it was wrapped tightly in turbulent seawater.

He couldn’t help but reveal a joyful smile.

Picking up the female ring with a diamond embedded in it, he put it on her middle finger devoutly like a believer.

The two rings pulled them closer again.

Lin Jiao stood on her tiptoes. “Happy birthday.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Their undisguised affection made everyone envious.

Chu Yuzhou, who had recorded this moment, looked at the couple in the camera and sighed. “It’s so touching.”

“President Pei, please.” Shen Yi picked up the cake knife on the table and handed it over.

Pei Zhi took out the extinguished candles.

He cut eight pieces of cake and held Lin Jiao’s hand as they returned to the bonfire to prevent her from getting cold.

“Do you want to eat barbecue?” He wiped the cream off the corner of her lips and asked gently.

“Yes.” Lin Jiao took a bite of the cake and deliberately leaned over to kiss him. “I want to barbecue it for you.”

“Then I’ll get them to send the ingredients over.” Pei Zhi asked Qu Shao to inform the hotel employees.

He tilted his head slightly. “Do you still want to kiss me?”

“Haven’t you had enough of it?”

“Far from enough.”

Lin Jiao satisfied him.

She kissed him twice and wiped his cheek. “Brother Yanshen and the others are here to drink with you.”

Pei Zhi looked up and saw a few smiling faces.

He took the glass of wine that was about to overflow and was about to drink with them when he was stopped.

“One at a time.” Shen Yi clinked glasses with him. “I wish you two a long life together.”

Pei Zhi downed the glass without hesitation.

He looked at Chu Yuzhou, who was still thinking. “You haven’t figured out what to say yet?”

“I got an idea!” Chu Yuzhou cleared his throat.
