    Chapter 116: Birthday Surprise

    Chi Ye asked for Su Shi’s consent to secretly acquire shares in Chen Jingtian’s company, in preparation for Su Qing taking over the company in the future.

    Having money is indeed a good thing. Su Shi didn’t stand on ceremony with Chi Ye and told him to go ahead and do it.

    Most of the Chi family’s businesses were in Beizhou, forcing Chi Ye to run back and forth between the two places, resulting in less time together with Su Shi.

    However, precisely because of this, they cherished the time they had together even more.

    Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Shi was planning in his heart to celebrate Chi Ye’s birthday.

    Because his birthday was also the anniversary of his parents’ death, Chi Ye had never celebrated a birthday since he was a child.

    But Su Shi felt that he shouldn’t be deprived of the right to celebrate his birthday because of this.

    To avoid making Chi Ye sad, Su Shi only told Chi Ye that it was a date, asking him to reserve the time on that day.

    Su Shi planned to take Chi Ye to the White Heron Resort they had visited before, to revisit the place.

    They hadn’t seen each other for another three or four days. Getting out of the car, Chi Ye held Su Shi’s hand tightly, looking at the familiar place.

    “Why do you want to come here again?”

    Su Shi’s eyebrows were full of joy, “Don’t you like it? I thought you had a lot of fun here last time.”

    Chi Ye immediately explained, “I like it, but I thought you would want to go to a place we haven’t been to before for a date.”

    “Isn’t it romantic to revisit a place?”

    “It’s romantic. Anywhere is romantic with you.”

    This time, the room was a couple’s suite.

    The bed was covered with rose petals, and fresh lilies were placed on the coffee table.

    Everything came in pairs, the lighting was ambiguous, and there was a hot spring bubbling with steam inside the room.

    Su Shi hugged Chi Ye from behind, telling him about the upcoming plans.

    “Later, we’ll go to the restaurant for dinner first, then go for a walk, and then come back to the room to soak in the hot spring.”

    Chi Ye patted Su Shi’s hand around his waist, “I’ll listen to you.”

    In the past, Chi Ye would plan and arrange everything, but this was the first time Su Shi had taken the lead.

    This time, the planning was very simple and down-to-earth, aiming to let Chi Ye have a good birthday without him knowing.

    The restaurant was as crowded as ever, and the two sat down and ordered a couple’s meal.

    Someone next to them was celebrating a birthday, and a large table of people sang a birthday song.

    “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.”

    After singing the Chinese version of the birthday song, they sang the English version.

    The birthday star was a young girl, receiving blessings from family and friends, happily closing her eyes to make a wish under the candlelight.

    Seeing Su Shi watching, Chi Ye said, “When it’s your birthday this year, I’ll throw a big party for you too.”

    Su Shi shook his head vigorously, “No need, just the two of us is fine. I like having a world of our own.”

    Chi Ye nodded, “Okay.”

    Su Shi started singing softly, “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.”

    After singing the Chinese version, he sang the English version, and then asked Chi Ye, “Chi Ye, how did I sing?”

    Chi Ye looked deeply into Su Shi’s eyes, “It sounded nice.”

    After finishing dinner, they came out and passed by a cake shop. Su Shi pulled Chi Ye to the window to look at the beautiful cakes inside.

    Su Shi pointed to one of the strawberry cakes, “Chi Ye, I want to eat strawberry cake.”

    “Do you really want to eat it?” Chi Ye asked.

    “Yes, I saw other people celebrating their birthdays just now, and I want to eat cake too,” Su Shi said, pretending to be embarrassed.

    “Let’s go, I’ll buy you one.”

    The shop assistant took out a small cake, and Su Shi insisted on paying, taking Chi Ye outside to find a chair to sit down.

    Su Shi took off the cake lid, took out a fork, plate, and candles from the bag.

    “Chi Ye, why don’t we light the candles, so we don’t waste these things.”

    “Okay,” Chi Ye thought for a moment, “But there’s no lighter.”

    “There are matches here.”

    Su Shi took out a box of matches, “They really have everything.”

    Su Shi inserted a few candles on the cake, lit them, “Chi Ye, since the candles are lit, why don’t we make a wish?”

    “Okay.”

    The two closed their eyes at the same time.

    Chi Ye silently said in his heart: “I wish Su Shi will always be with me.”

    Su Shi made a wish in his heart: “I hope Chi Ye’s wish can come true.”

    Together, they blew out the candles and shared the cake.

    In the end, they still couldn’t finish it and had to pack the rest to take back.

    Chi Ye carried the cake in one hand and held Su Shi’s hand in the other, strolling around the “Foreigner Street.”

    There was a little girl selling roses by the roadside. Su Shi pulled Chi Ye over and bought a bunch of wrapped roses.

    There were also colored lights on the flowers, making them look very gorgeous.

    Similarly, Su Shi insisted on paying.

    From dinner, buying cake, to buying flowers, and even booking the hotel, Su Shi insisted on paying for everything.

    Su Shi put the flowers in Chi Ye’s arms, “I’m giving them to you.”

    Chi Ye took the flowers and smelled them, “Why are you suddenly giving me flowers?”

    “You gave me Pink Roses, so I’ll give you Red Roses.”

    Chi Ye held the roses in his arms, so Su Shi had to take the cake from his hand so that Chi Ye could hold hands with him.

    Unconsciously, they walked to the amusement park. Other attractions were not operating at night, only the carousel and Ferris wheel were still running.

    Su Shi suggested, “Chi Ye, shall we go ride the Ferris wheel?”

    “Okay.”

    There weren’t many people riding the Ferris wheel at this time, but there were still a few couples.

    Su Shi and Chi Ye sat on either side of the car. The Ferris wheel ascended very slowly, gradually leaving the ground.

    “Chi Ye, look down there.”

    As the Ferris wheel rose, the entire resort was under their feet, becoming smaller and smaller.

    Seeing that they were about to reach the highest point, Su Shi suddenly stood up and pounced on Chi Ye.

    This caused the car to lose balance, shaking a few times.

    Su Shi successfully kissed Chi Ye when the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, gently kissing his lips.

    It wasn’t a deep kiss, but it was incomparably lingering.

    The sound of fireworks exploding could be heard in their ears, and Su Shi’s voice was slightly hoarse, “Chi Ye, let’s be together forever.”

    Chi Ye hadn’t said a word since entering the Ferris wheel, and at this time, he was just staring at Su Shi quietly.

    Just as Su Shi wanted to leave and return to his seat, he was pulled back by Chi Ye, pressed into his arms, and a deeper, heavier kiss fell.

    Su Shi widened his eyes for a while, and after a few seconds, slowly closed them.

    After getting off the Ferris wheel, the two returned to the hotel.

    They took off their clothes, put on their swim trunks, and entered the hot spring pool.

    Su Shi’s skin turned pink within minutes of entering the water. Chi Ye pulled him over, sat him between his legs, and wrapped his arms around him.

    “Thank you, Su Shi.”

    Su Shi didn’t react, “Why are you suddenly saying thank you?”

    Chi Ye’s throat rolled, “Thank you for your painstaking efforts in celebrating my birthday.”

    Su Shi’s body stiffened. It turned out that his clumsy planning had been seen through long ago, and Chi Ye had already seen it.

    Chi Ye’s lips landed on Su Shi’s shoulder, gently kissing it.

    “You don’t have to be so careful, I’m actually fine.”

    Su Shi rubbed Chi Ye’s head, “Okay, then I’ll celebrate your birthday openly in the future.”
