Chapter 57·Happy Birthday (1)

On the night of his birthday, Qi Zhixuan gathered everyone together at the private kitchen where they had eaten Fujian cuisine before. Last time, they couldn’t enjoy the meal because of the annoying people, but Qi Zhixuan was still thinking that the food here was delicious.

“Come on, come on! How can you celebrate your birthday without a cake!” As soon as everyone arrived, Chen Runsong came over with an exquisite cake and opened it proudly, “I made it myself, it is guaranteed to be delicious!”

“Wow! It’s so beautiful and awesome, Boss Chen!” Jing Yao was amazed. Chen Runsong made a double-layered wave micro-landscape cake with lifelike sea water and waves. There was also a sailboat on the top of the cake, playing passionately with the waves.

“Humph, I’m a professional!” Chen Runsong lit the candle and pushed it in front of Qi Zhixuan, “Xiao Xuan, I wish you good luck in the new year and everything goes well!”

“Thank you.” Everyone sang a congratulatory song. Qi Zhixuan smiled and thanked everyone. During the song, he clasped his hands and closed his eyes and began to make a wish.

Today he wore a silver-white shirt with a silk texture. His hands were curled up to make a wish, and the sleeves were stacked in one place, glowing in the flickering light of the candle.

Pang Jing looked at the light reflected on his cheek, and he seemed to have lost weight again. He had not seen Qi Zhixuan for twenty-one days. He felt that he was going crazy with his thoughts, but he could only take a few more glances when he closed his eyes.

Qi Zhixuan quickly finished his wish and blew out the candles. Everyone cheered and sent blessings. His eyes looked towards Pang Jing, but Pang Jing turned his eyes away slightly.

Qi Zhixuan sighed inwardly. He hadn’t seen him for a long time and felt that he had tanned and lost some weight.

Everyone shared the cake and started to serve the food. I wonder if the chef had changed, but Qi Zhixuan felt that the food here was completely different from last time and was a bit boring.

After finishing the meal, everyone agreed to go to the ktv to sing and eat. Only Jiang Xianfan drove the car, and he had to take a taxi, so everyone walked to the door to wait for the car, and Jiang Xianfan also went to pick up the car.

Xie Xingxing is the happiest person today. He thinks this store is really delicious and has added it to his list of treasured stores.

“Hey, let me tell you, do you have any that you don’t like? You can’t get tired of eating the bowls of incense from the restaurant across from our school.” Jing Yao and Xingxing are enemies, and they will fight against anything they say.

“Then what’s wrong, you…”

The two people were still bickering. Qi Zhixuan and Pang Jing followed at the end of the crowd. The two were very close to each other, walking together quietly, even walking in the same step, but no one spoke.

“Tch, I won’t tell you if you don’t know how to eat! Boss Chen, you are a gourmet, come and take a look at my collection.” Xingxing took the gourmet collection list he made and excitedly came over and hugged Chen Runsong.

“Well… let me take a look,” Chen Runsong took Xingxing’s phone and started to comment: “Well, this Cantonese food is good. I have eaten it before, but this one is not good. The stir-fried kidneys are too poorly cooked, and this…”

“Songsong, let’s go.” Jiang Xianfan parked the car, came over and silently lifted Xingxing’s arm, and took the person to his car.

“Hmm, okay, eh, there’s still one more seat available, who can come with us?” Chen Runsong poked his head out of the car. In addition to their brother and sister, there was another seat in the car.

Qi Zhixuan looked at the people, but Pang Jing’s eyes were still evasive. He looked a little upset, so he got into Chen Runsong’s car first.

As the car drove out, Pang Jing stood behind and stared until the car lights disappeared around the corner. He didn’t say anything when the person was there. When the person left, he stared at the back of the car. Jing Yao shook his head when he saw his embarrassing appearance.

Two groups of people arrived at the KTV one after another, and the atmosphere was instantly ignited.Xingxing volunteered to grab the first microphone and shouted, “Happy Birthday” to the birthday boy today, Mr. Qi Zhixuan!

The microphone became a hot commodity, and everyone rushed to request songs and sing. Lin Yan couldn’t get it, so she pushed her own song to the front row and forced Maiba Xie Xingxing to hand over the microphone.

Only Jiang Xianfan was still very busy, taking several work calls back and forth. Jing He also looked at his phone frequently and went outside to reply messages from time to time, looking a little solemn.

“Songsong, Boss Jiang is so busy, why don’t we let him go back first?” Qi Zhixuan looked at Jiang Xianfan answering the phone and felt a little sorry.

Chen Runsong didn’t feel burdened at all and was still eating melon seeds. “It’s okay, let him. He has to answer the phone wherever he goes. Occasionally, he will answer the phone in a different environment. It will feel fresh.”

Just when everyone was singing enthusiastically, Jing He suddenly rushed in from outside and shouted angrily: “Jing Yao!”

Everyone looked at each other, and the venue instantly fell silent, leaving only the accompaniment playing on the screen.

Jing Yao was grabbing the microphone and was a little confused by the yelling. He frowned and asked if he was going to rebel.

“You want to drop out of school?” Jing He’s chest heaved with anger. He rushed over and grabbed his brother’s shoulders with terrifying strength.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Xie Xingxing hurriedly stood between the two of them, fearing that they would fight: “If you have something to say, please say it, but don’t do anything!”

“Where did you go to find out?” After hearing what he said, Jing Yao no longer felt confident. She patted Jing He’s hand and asked him to let go.

“Don’t worry, just say yes.” Jing He not only didn’t let go, but tightened his grip.

“Yes.” Jing Yao sighed and reluctantly admitted.

“You just…you want to leave me so much?” Jing He’s voice suddenly became a little sad, and he slowly let go of Jing Yao’s hand. Seeing him like this, Jing Yao rubbed his brow worriedly.

“We have been together since we were one cell, but as we grow up, you always have to leave, always have to leave…” He slowly lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs, as if he was about to cry.

If it was a quarrel, the two of them could still go back and forth, but Jing Yao couldn’t stand his brother. He sighed, looked around, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’ll take him away first, and you guys can play.” After that, he picked up Jing He’s collar and walked out.

The remaining people stared blankly, a little confused.

The originally lively atmosphere became a little weird. Xingxing was worried about the twins fighting, Jiang Xianfan was busy at work, Chen Runsong and his sister had long been tired of singing, while Pang Jing and Qi Zhixuan were unusually silent. Everyone had no thoughts and decided to leave early.

“Everyone check, don’t leave anything behind!” Chen Runsong turned on the lights and reminded everyone.

“Xiaoyu, will you come with me?” Qi Zhixuan saw that Pang Jing was about to leave and held his hand.

Pang Jing looked at the hands they held together, his palms slightly sweaty. He remained silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Pang Jing didn’t say anything, Qi Zhixuan just held his hand and didn’t let him go.

Xingxing felt that the two of them were acting strangely today, let alone arguing. After thinking for a long time, he decided to come and rescue his brother.

He patted Pang Jing’s arm and said to Qi Zhixuan, “Boss Qi, we will be at eight tomorrow morning. Brother Pang will be too late to go to your place, so you should go back to the dormitory with me!”

Qi Zhixuan ignored it and just stared at Pang Whale.

Pang Jing still didn’t speak, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a while…

“Okay…” Qi Zhixuan finally let go of his hand.

“Then let’s go, see you Boss Qi, see you Boss Chen.” Xingxing hugged Pang Jing and the two good brothers and hurried out, fearing that they would get into trouble, without even looking back.

“What’s going on? He won’t go back with you?” Chen Runsong also felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two people. Usually Pang Jing wanted to stick to Qi Zhixuan, but today he didn’t even say a few words, which was strange.

“Well, he has classes tomorrow.” Qi Zhixuan sat down on the sofa and rubbed his face tiredly, “You guys go first, I want to stay by myself for a while.”

“It’s so late, how unsafe is it to be alone? Let’s take you home.” Chen Runsong looked at the time, it was already past ten o’clock.

“What can happen to a grown man like me? I just want to be quiet. I can just take a taxi back later.” Qi Zhixuan insisted.

In the end, everyone couldn’t defeat him and had to leave first, leaving him alone in the box.

He sat blankly for a while, opened the remaining beer in the can and took two sips. He really couldn’t figure out what Pang Whale was doing, why it was like this all of a sudden, and he didn’t want to talk about what went wrong.

So annoying.

Did you not do well enough, or did you do something wrong?

He thought for a long time and couldn’t figure it out. He didn’t know how much he drank. Finally, he carried the empty can and staggered out of the KTV.

In fact, it is really easy to have random thoughts when he is alone, but at the red line he still remembers what Dr. Zeng said: Don’t give yourself these negative psychological hints, otherwise it will be easy to fall into a strange thinking circle.

Fortunately, the summer evening breeze was strong, and it sobered him up a lot as soon as he stepped out of the KTV. He took a taxi and decided to go home first.

“Don’t throw up on the bus. You’ll throw up two hundred dollars on the bus.” The taxi driver looked at the beer can in his hand warily.

“No.” Qi Zhixuan quickly threw the empty can into the trash can on the roadside. After getting in the car, he opened the window to the maximum and let the evening breeze blow on his cheeks, trying to wake himself up completely.

But when he arrived at the gate of the community, he felt that he had not become awake, but more dizzy. The moon in the sky seemed to have a double image.

He just walked downstairs staggeringly against the ghost moon.

“Xiao Xuan.” Just as he was about to get on the elevator, someone called his name in front of his building. It was a very familiar voice, but he couldn’t hear it clearly, and he couldn’t help but pause.

“Xiao Xuan.” The person called again and walked quickly to him.

“Liang…Yuansheng?” Qi Zhixuan squinted his eyes, his eyes were hazy, but this person was indeed Liang Yuansheng. This time, he was not wearing a suit. He was wearing a smart T-shirt and casual pants, looking more like him in college.

“Xiao Xuan, today is your birthday, I always remember it.” Liang Yuansheng held something in his hand and handed it to him, “I don’t know which floor you live on, but I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Happy birthday.”

Qi Zhixuan frowned and instinctively wanted to push it away, but maybe he was drunk and his movements were off-kilter. He originally wanted to push Liang Yuansheng’s hand away, but instead pushed everything in his hand to the ground.

The contents fell out.

It turned out to be a scarf.

Qi Zhixuan froze. This looked too familiar. If you didn’t look at the material, it was exactly the same as the one Liang Yuansheng gave him before.

Liang Yuansheng cherished the scarf and picked it up from the ground, patting the dust away gently, “I knitted this myself, or the stitching method you taught me, remember.”

Qi Zhixuan looked at the scarf, and memories came flooding back to him. With a suffocating feeling of nausea, he couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

“Xiao Xuan, do you really hate me so much?” Liang Yuansheng held the scarf with sad eyes, “Can’t we even be friends?”

“I know you hate me, but is it really my fault? I didn’t use that painting on purpose. You didn’t tell me what it was painting, and I didn’t know it! And Teacher Qi’s death, does it have to be counted on me? He died in a car accident, and it’s not something I can control…” His voice became lower and lower, and he still held the scarf in his hand, looking very painful.

“You still want to sue me for something that happened so many years ago…Xiao Xuan! When I received the court summons, I couldn’t believe it. You didn’t give me that painting!”

Qi Zhixuan was already furious when he talked about Zimmer. He actually felt that none of this had anything to do with him!

“Shut up!” Qi Zhixuan pushed Liang Yuansheng hard, and with all his strength, Liang Yuansheng was pushed into the wall.

Qi Zhixuan exerted too much force, and he was a little dizzy and unsteady, but his eyes were exceptionally clear.

“Legally, what I give you is only the viewing rights and not the copyright! Morally, you should not use my works to gain your own benefits!”

“Don’t confuse things here!” He was drunk, and his head was swollen. The more Qi Zhixuan talked, the sadder he became. “My father and I both paid the price for your greed and selfish desires! How dare you…how dare you mention him…” Thinking of his father, Qi Zhixuan’s heart ached as if a hole had been opened.

Only then did Liang Yuansheng realize that something was wrong. Seeing his staggering steps and red eyes, he stepped forward to help him: “Xiao Xuan, are you drunk? Let’s not talk about this anymore. How about I take you home? What floor is your home on?”

“Let go…let me go.” Qi Zhixuan didn’t want to be next to him and kept struggling, but Liang Yuansheng was much taller and stronger than him. He held his arm tightly and refused to let go.

“Don’t make trouble, you will fall.” Liang Yuansheng was reluctant, and even wanted to get closer to his face, “I will send you up, okay?”

The two of them were pushing and pulling in front of the building. Qi Zhixuan was feeling dizzy, anxious and angry, but he couldn’t get away.

“Go away!” At this moment, a furious voice came.

The person rushed over quickly and kicked him hard. Liang Yuansheng groaned and fell straight down.

Qi Zhixuan lost his support and his body slid down softly, but fell into a familiar embrace. The smell of sunshine and sea instantly enveloped him.

“Xiao Xuan, how are you? Are you okay?” Pang Jing looked nervously at the person in his arms. Qi Zhixuan looked up and shook his head.

Liang Yuansheng struggled to get up from the ground, and felt a heartbreaking pain in his arm. His face turned pale, and he instantly understood that it was dislocated.He was angry and anxious, pointed at Pang Jing and roared: “You…how dare you do it! I’m going to sue you!”

“Go ahead.” Pang Whale’s eyes were cold, and the air pressure around him was frighteningly low.

“Leave him alone, let’s… let’s go home.” Qi Zhixuan shrank into his arms uncomfortably, lingering for a long time, feeling very uncomfortable in his stomach and already feeling a little nauseous.

Pang Jing still didn’t want to leave. He stared at Liang Yuansheng sharply, with a look that wanted to hit him. Qi Zhixuan covered his eyes with his hands and urged him, “Can you please go… I want to go back. It’s very uncomfortable.”

The warm palms covered his eyes, blocking his sight and seeming to block out all the anger.Pang Jing could only hear his voice for a moment, and he obediently leaned over and picked up Qi Zhixuan by his knees. Qi Zhixuan put his arms around his neck, and the two of them got into the elevator together.
