Chapter 24
August 8th, a very auspicious day, is Yu Jin's birthday.
This day this year is Yu Jin's 18th birthday coming of age ceremony.
The entire Shen family started preparing for this coming-of-age ceremony more than a month in advance.
Under Shen Yan's suggestion, they decided to hold a grand coming-of-age banquet for Yu Jin.
After everything was ready, Shen Yan began to insinuate and ask Yu Jin about inviting guests.
Yu Jin naturally knew that the Shen family was making preparations for his birthday, but they didn't tell him explicitly that they were going to give him a surprise, so Yu Jin pretended not to know.
"Xiao Jin, if, I mean if, we hold a birthday party for you, which friends do you want to invite to attend?" Shen Yan asked.
Yu Jin is checking Weibo. The post-production of "The Way Back" has been completed, and the trailer has been released on the official blog. The response is particularly good. It will start promoting the release in about a week.
Hearing Shen Yan asking him, Yu Jin put down his phone and looked at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan's face was calm.
Yu Jin smiled and said, "I think it's good just the two of us living together."
Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat.
He actually felt that it would be the best if he and Yu Jin were together for the coming-of-age ceremony.
When the time comes, the two of them will watch the clock, count down to twelve o'clock, and listen to the bell ringing.
Then Yu Jin officially stepped into the ranks of adults.
He accompanied Yu Jin from the age of seventeen to eighteen.
From adolescence to adulthood.
He lived with Yu Jin alone.
How simple, yet extraordinarily romantic.
"Brother, you..." Yu Jin leaned over and looked into Shen Yan's eyes.
Shen Yan's hand slowly clenched.
Yu Jin smiled, sat up straight, and said with a smile, "Brother, you blushed just now."
Shen Yan: "..."
He couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his face, it was really hot.
He blushed because he fantasized about having a birthday with Yu Jin alone, which made Shen Yan a little restless.
He changed the subject and said, "Let Lin Hao and Gu Suye come over as well, and treat them as friends in the entertainment circle, what do you think?"
Yu Jin thought of that time when Shen Yan went to visit the set, Lin Hao and Gu Suye saw Shen Yan waiting for him on the set, and they probably wondered what their relationship was.
If they are invited this time, there is no need to explain his relationship with Shen Yan.
And these two are people who can keep secrets.
Yu Jin nodded and said, "Yes."
"Is there anyone else you want to invite? How about inviting everyone from the crew of "The Way Back"?"
Yu Jin: "... Brother, are you going to have a mix-up?"
Shen Yan smiled and said: "Is it your birthday, I naturally want to invite more of your friends."
"Just invite Director Lin and Brother Ye. There are too many people here, so there will be no secrets."
In early August, Shen Mingde and Yu Wenxin rushed back from abroad.
Yu Wenxin's health has improved a lot, but she still can't get tired from running around. They didn't come back during the Chinese New Year last year.
Yu Jin and Shen Yan stood at the airport pick-up gate, watching Shen Mingde hold Yu Wenxin's hand and walk out, followed by two bodyguards.
Yu Wenxin looks very temperamental, and is well maintained. Although she is over sixty years old, she looks like someone in her forties, and her face is still delicate.
Shen Mingde has a serious face and no expression on his face. He is only gentle when talking to Yu Wenxin, and the aura around him is particularly strong at other times.
When Shen Yan lowered his face, he was Shen Mingde's copy.
Although these two are not biological father and son, they are quite similar in aura.
On the contrary, Yu Jin is not like Shen Mingde at all. His face and facial features are more inherited from Yu Wenxin, but his personality is not like anyone else.
"Dad, Mom." Shen Yan took two steps forward and called out.
Yu Jin opened his mouth, followed by Shen Yan and shouted: "Dad, Mom."
Shen Mingde remained expressionless, and nodded to show that he heard.
Yu Wenxin was very excited.
She hasn't seen Yu Jin and Shen Yan for almost two years, and she misses them terribly.
Especially seeing Yu Jin's quiet appearance now, feel even more excited and happy.
She still remembered that when she was in China last time, Yu Jin's hair was blue, his clothes were always bright and dazzling, his expression was sloppy, and he hung out with those cronies all day long and got drunk.
She and Shen Mingde came back, and Yu Jin would not come to the airport to pick him up, and he rarely came back for dinner at night, and it was common for him not to return home at night.
Seeing Yu Jin wearing simple short black hair, wearing a white T-shirt and dark jeans, looking bright and clean, Yu Wenxin is happy from the bottom of her heart.
She opened her arms and hugged Shen Yan first, then turned to Yu Jin.
Yu Jin was a little nervous.
Yu Wenxin smiled softly and said, "Son, don't you want to give mom a hug?"
The heart that Yu Jin mentioned slowly fell.
Yes, he is Yu Jin now, the youngest son of the Shen family.
He should do better than the original owner of this body to be worthy of the chance God gave him to be reborn.
Yu Jin opened his arms and hugged Yu Wenxin, and called out, "Mom."
"Son, mom is very happy, you have finally grown up."
Yu Jin knew what Yu Wenxin meant.
Compared with the former Yu Jin who always seemed to be in a daze, he has indeed grown up in his current appearance.
When getting in the car, Shen Yan opened the door, let Shen Mingde and Yu Wenxin sit in the back seat, and then closed the door.
He saw Yu Jin standing beside the car.
Shen Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Jin, do you drive, or should I come?"
"Come here." Yu Jin said, "I'll take the passenger seat."
Shen Yan smiled and opened the co-pilot's door, raising his eyebrows at Yu Jin.
Yu Jin smiled too, walked over and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
Shen Yan closed the door, then walked around to the driver's seat and sat down.
When he started the car and was about to turn the steering wheel, Shen Yan heard Yu Wenxin happily talking to Shen Mingde.
"Mingde, look at how good the relationship between the two children is now. I just said that Xiao Jin has grown up and is sensible, and will not be the same as before."
Shen Mingde didn't speak.
Yu Wenxin added: "Brother Yanyan has done a good job, seeing how harmonious they are, I am really relieved."
Hearing Yu Wenxin's words, Yu Jin and Shen Yan's bodies stiffened at the same time.
They sat in their seats, and each other fell silent.
Only they themselves know that their brotherhood has already seeped into the feelings that can't be understood or explained.
But this feeling cannot be expressed, it can only be suppressed, pressed deep in the bottom of my heart, always drawing a warning line.
If one day, this cordon collapses, they are finished.
