â—ŽHappy birthday, brother.â—Ž
When the calendar turned to May 17, Shen Lingjun, who was planning to celebrate someone else’s birthday, became nervous.
He originally thought about decorating his home as a surprise for Liang Ji’an, but he thought his brother probably didn’t like those fancy things, so in the end he just returned home after school with the cakes he ordered two days ago.
After taking a shower, blowing her hair, and tidying up her pajamas, it was exactly 11:30 in the evening. Shen Lingjun sat upright at the desk and dialed Liang Ji’an’s number.
The call was picked up very quickly. Liang Ji’an had just returned from a workout, took a shower and was eating breakfast delivered by the hotel.
Shen Lingjun hadn’t seen him for several days. After the call was connected, he was stunned for a few seconds before saying: “Brother, good morning.”
Liang Ji’an smiled and said, “It’s so late and you haven’t gone to bed yet?”
Shen Lingjun said casually: “I just finished playing the game and I have something to tell you.”
Because the unfamiliarity caused by distance and time only existed for a short moment, Shen Lingjun soon leaned on the chair holding a pillow and complained to Liang Ji’an, talking about the last time he met Lu Jiayan.
“He’s really annoyed. He keeps blocking the road and won’t let me go. He also said that I look nothing like you.” Shen Lingjun wrinkled his face. He held a video with Liang Ji’an on his mobile phone in one hand, and looked at it carefully in the mirror. He has been brooding about this matter since Lu Jiayan finished speaking, but he didn’t have a photo of Liang Ji’an at hand. Now that he finally saw someone, he looked at it very seriously.
He compared it for a long time, looking at himself and then at Liang Ji’an on the screen. His face moved closer and closer unconsciously. His eyes were rounder, while his brother’s was a little taller. Their noses were both straight, but Liang Ji’an seemed to have a raised hump, and his mouth…
His mouth tightened and pursed, and his eyebrows knitted together. Liang Ji’an put down the coffee in his hand and raised his hand to rub the screen twice. After realizing what he had done, he quickly calmed down and had to interrupt Shen Lingjun, who was immersed in observing the two of them.
“You’re about to burst out of the screen.” Liang Jian said with an obvious smile in his tone, “What are you looking at?”
“Nothing, nothing.” Shen Lingjun quickly hesitated, with a look of disappointment on his face. He did not look like Liang Ji’an.
But he absolutely refused to admit it. After putting down the mirror, he continued to complain to Liang Jian: “Lu Jiayan gives me a weird feeling. Do you want him to care whether I look like you or not? Why does he say that I don’t look like you? Aren’t we both two eyes and one mouth?”
Liang Ji’an said: “It really doesn’t look like it.”
His tone was serious. Shen Lingjun was startled for a moment and then tensed up and sat up straight again, but then heard Liang Ji’an continue: “You look better.”
Shen Lingjun’s face suddenly turned red. He never expected to hear such straightforward words from Liang Jian, not to mention his expression was still so meticulous, as if he was saying some wise words.
In a panic, he couldn’t say anything. He hesitated for a long time and only uttered a few modal words. Fortunately, the alarm clock set in advance on his tablet saved his life. He hurriedly pressed the ringer, “Brother, are you busy later? Do you want to go out?”
It was almost nine o’clock in the morning at Liang Ji’an’s side, and Shen Lingjun was worried that something was wrong with him.
Liang Ji’an was taking screenshots. He took two pictures of Shen Lingjun with a red face and saved them in the photo album. He replied: “I’m doing some work in the hotel this morning.
”
Shen Lingjun responded, stood up and rustled about what he was doing. After a minute, even the lights were turned off.
Liang Ji’an seemed to guess what he was going to do.
The time turned to zero, and Shen Lingjun suddenly appeared in the camera with a cake with lit candles. There was only a little light in the dark room, and the smile in his eyes suddenly hit Liang Ji’an’s eyes.
Maybe Liang Ji’an couldn’t see anything. The sun at nine o’clock in the morning was already blinding his eyes, and he hadn’t fully adapted to the darkness on the other side of the screen. But maybe he saw everything. He saw Shen Lingjun singing happy birthday to him while holding a cake, and urging him to blow out candles and make wishes.
Liang Ji’an fell into a brief trance. He heard Shen Lingjun ask him if he had forgotten his birthday and why he didn’t prepare anything for him. He also asked him if he was surprised. Even if he couldn’t see clearly, he could still imagine the stinky expression on his face. The corners of his mouth must have been raised high, and maybe even his eyes were narrowed in laughter.
The wind couldn’t blow in through the screen, so Shen Lingjun blew it away for him. He turned on the light in the room and showed him what the cake looked like in all directions.
A very simple cream cake with the words “Happy Birthday, Brother” written on it. Shen Lingjun continued: “Can I cut the cake and divide it later?”
“Although it’s a pity that you can’t eat it, I can make another one when I get back.”
Liang Ji’an said yes.
Shen Lingjun took out another thing from the drawer, holding it with one hand and holding it against the other, showing it like a professional blogger, “Brother, this is the gift I picked for you. Isn’t it beautiful?”
The perfume is packaged in an exquisite gift box, and the bow tied on it is made of shimmering satin, which looks very exquisite under the light. “You can get it when you come back.”
“So brother, when will you come back?”
“The plane is in three days.” Liang Jian said, “Do you miss me very much?”
Shen Lingjun did not answer, but asked: “Why are you so calm? You seem to have guessed the surprise I prepared for you.”
Liang Ji’an said: “No, I’m very happy.”
“Thank you.” He looked at Shen Lingjun and said, “It’s my first time to receive a gift. I’m so happy that I don’t know what to say.”
Shen Lingjun was a little puzzled. It was impossible for Mr. Liang Ji’an to never receive gifts, right?He doesn’t look like someone who lacks these.
However, he didn’t ask any more questions in the end. After completing the prepared process, he didn’t know what to do for a while. He just stared at Liang Jian on the other side of the screen in a daze, his eyes wandering randomly as if he was a little frustrated.
Liang Ji’an is really a person who doesn’t play by common sense.
Why on earth is he so calm?
If the roles were reversed and Liang Ji’an prepared these for him, he would be moved to tears.
“Junjun.”
A voice rang in his ears. Liang Ji’an had never called him that. Shen Lingjun hesitated for a while before answering. Liang Ji’an was probably coaxing him, or he was really explaining, “You have to forgive someone whose expression is not obvious.”
Shen Lingjun raised his voice and said, “I’m not so narrow-minded!”
“And today is your birthday. You are the biggest person in the world. I won’t argue with you about such trivial matters.”
Hearing this, Liang Jian stared at him motionless and said, “I haven’t received your birthday blessing yet.”
Shen Lingjun was staring at him so much that his back was numb, and his desire to win was also rising. He also stared at him unwilling to be outdone, but his tone was serious, “Brother, happy birthday.”
After saying that, he quickly gave an excuse that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and hung up the phone without a second of hesitation.
He fell on the bed and covered his hot cheeks, not feeling sleepy at all.
