What did he say?It is probably the fatal attraction of the cake to Zhou Qiming that Zhou Qiming can come to him without any scruples.

Now it seems that Zhou Qiming has loved Chengxin's pastries to the point where he would even take a bite of them as a backdrop.

Xie Yao: "...you wait."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, turned his head and looked at the person sitting where he was sitting there, his expectations were not concealed in his eyes, like a... a large dog acting like a spoiled child.

Xie Yao walked over, opened the refrigerator door, took out the cake, put it on the round table and was about to remove the exquisite packaging.Zhou Qiming sat aside and stared at the movements of his hands.

Just as he was about to pull the drawstring, Xie Yao's hands stopped.Zhou Qiming looked at him puzzled, and before he could ask why he stopped, Xie Yao picked up his phone.

"You...don't tear it down?" Zhou Qiming finally couldn't hold back his doubts and asked.

Xie Yao looked at him with his mobile phone in his hand, and said, "Two people blowing out candles seems...too deserted."

"Not deserted," Zhou Qiming stood up and screened the phone for him. After finishing this, he felt that his behavior seemed to be inappropriate, so he quickly withdrew his hand, looked at him and repeated, "Not deserted."

Xie Yao hesitated a bit. Originally, he had clicked into Xu Xinghuai's dialog box to send a message to call the other party to join in the fun. After sending him, he would call Zhang Yuqing and Chen Shuo, and the four of them happened to share the cake.

Xie Yao frowned unconsciously when Zhou Qiming stopped him, but then he thought about what Xu Xinghuai said to him this morning, and suddenly suppressed the idea of calling him over.

Xie Yao has always respected Xu Xinghuai during this period of time. He regards him as an excellent senior, a role model to learn from, and a new friend he made, but he never thought that the relationship between the two would exceed the boundaries between friends.

He was lost in thought when the phone vibrated suddenly, both of them were taken aback.Xie Yao recovered his senses and looked at his phone, only to realize that the blind date whom he hadn't contacted for a long time actually sent a message.

It is not appropriate to say that they are a blind date. Since they became friends, the number of chats between the two has been very small.Xie Yao thought that the other party was introduced by his mother's friend, so sometimes when this person took the initiative to send a message, he would respond with a few words, but fortunately, the other party was quite decent, and he never felt rude to deal with.

The message sent is only a short sentence, happy birthday, Xiaoxie.But the two had never met before, and Xie Yao still felt that this title seemed too intimate.

But the other party had no malice, and it was just a simple blessing.Xie Yao thought about it in his heart, and was about to say "thank you" back. This person probably knew about his birthday through his mother's mouth. It is already very good to be thinking about sending a blessing to himself.

But before the message was sent, the phone vibrated again, and a red envelope was sent from the opposite side.

Seeing this, Xie Yao hurriedly replied, saying that he took it, and the red envelope really couldn't be accepted.

The other side seemed to be looking at the phone at the moment, so he immediately replied, saying that the money is not much, it is really just a wish, please accept it.

Xie Yao was in a bit of a dilemma. He knew that the money might not mean much to the other party, but it was like he owed him a favor if he received it with such a kind heart, but the two of them had never even met each other.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Qiming stood aside and observed his expression, curiously trying to get close to him, but Xie Yao turned off his phone and said vaguely, "It's nothing, let's blow out the candles."

"That's fine, I'll do it." Zhou Qiming didn't care about it. Hearing Xie Yao's words, he immediately took over the work in his hands and unwrapped the cake's exquisite packaging.

The cake is beautifully made. It is covered with a layer of fruits as embellishments and decorations. A chocolate sign is placed in the center in the shape of a heart. It says happy birthday, and there is a circle of cream around the chocolate.as decoration.

In the evening, more and more people sent Xie Yao messages to wish him well. Now that someone took over his work, he replied with peace of mind, including messages from his brother Xie Ze, and the rest were Peng Fang and Gao Yang.And fucking information.

Xie Yao each replied a few words, and the remaining ones who were not so close to each other also thanked them one by one.After finally replying to the message, Xie Yao put down his phone, and from the corner of his eye, he just noticed Zhou Qiming who was about to light a candle.

Zhou Qiming doesn't like smoking very much, but he always carries a lighter and cigarettes with him on weekdays.At this moment, he happened to be about to light a candle for Xie Yao, so he took out his lighter and lit a fire.

Xie Yao was stunned when he saw the lighter.This was a birthday present he gave to Zhou Qiming on his 18th birthday, because a long time had passed, and the pattern on the lighter was already seriously peeled off, but the lighter as a whole showed no obvious signs of wear.

"You..." He opened his mouth, and a lot of thoughts flooded into his mind in an instant. He wanted to ask Zhou Qiming why he still kept this lighter, and why he still used it for so many years.This brand of lighter is actually good-looking, and the paint is easy to peel off. After a long time, there is only a shell with an incomplete pattern, and it consumes more e-liquid.

But after all, Xie Yao still didn't ask. He suddenly realized that even such a question made him afraid of hearing the answer he didn't want to get.

Even though he thought that his feelings for Zhou Qiming had become a flat lake without any waves, but this trigger was like a gust of wind passing over his thought-calm heart.His feelings for Zhou Qiming will still be affected by these small things, whether it is a fall or a fire, he doesn't care about it, he is unwilling to speak and take the initiative.

Because he was afraid of hearing the answer that he was not sure about.

"It's on." Zhou Qiming didn't seem to hear what he said. He gently inserted the delicate wax paper next to the cake, and then dragged his sprained leg to turn off all the bedroom lights for him.

For a while, there was only the faint light of candles in the room, and the two of them stared at each other's faces through this light.Xie Yao looked at the person who was not a few steps away from him, and watched him light candles and turn off the lights for him. He would stand in front of him and look at him. For a moment, his heart seemed to be poked into a hidden corner, making himFeel a little sour.

Because he couldn't remember what it was like when the two celebrated each other's birthday last time.Xie Yao bit his lip subconsciously, and a voice occupied his whole brain for a while, finally he gave up the rationality he had maintained for a long time, and asked tremblingly, "Aren't you going to sing me the birthday song?"

Zhou Qiming froze for a moment, his eyes fell on the flickering candlelight.Immediately afterwards, he raised his head, looked at him seriously, and softly sang a birthday song for him.
