AMTBYIGA Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Birthday

“…”

Lin Sui’s face flushed instantly, and he stammered, “I, I, this…”

He stuttered for a long time without saying a complete sentence. Shi Yan suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, “You two haven’t done it yet?”

“…” Lin Sui nodded slightly with a red face.

“?” Shi Yan was incredulous, even doubting his life. “You’re married, and you seem to have a good relationship. How is it possible… Could it be, he’s impotent?”

After thinking about it, Shi Yan felt that impotence was the only possibility. After all, Lin Sui was so attractive, how could anyone resist touching him, especially since they were a married couple?

“Well.” Lin Sui paused and said in a low voice, “Gu Nian’s health isn’t very good, I, I’m afraid it’s not good for him.”

Shi Yan was speechless for a moment and patted Lin Sui’s shoulder sympathetically, saying sadly, “You’ve worked hard.”

Lin Sui: “…Not really.”

Lin Sui had a very low desire for that kind of thing. He was satisfied as long as he could kiss and hug Gu Nian.

Shi Yan gave him a knowing look, stroked his chin, and pondered for a moment, “Then give him something you wouldn’t normally give. Gifts are all about surprises. Or give him something he’s explicitly said he likes but hasn’t bought. Of course, the most important thing is to give it to him personally, especially on a birthday like this.”

Lin Sui took it to heart seriously. After staying for a while, he got up to say goodbye. After leaving the school, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went to a nearby shopping mall.

An hour later, Lin Sui carefully put a small box in his pocket, thought about it, and held it in his hand. He felt the hard foreign object in his palm and felt a little more at ease. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he took a car and quickly returned home.

At this time, Gu Nian was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking down and clumsily weaving a Chinese knot following a tutorial. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he quickly hid the thing and coughed, pretending to be nonchalant, “Why are you back so early?”

Lin Sui touched the thing in his pocket, his voice a little tense, “I’m a little tired, so I came back early.”

After saying that, he “whooshed” into the kitchen, not giving Gu Nian a chance to continue asking.

Fortunately, Gu Nian was also eager to complete the next steps, so he didn’t pay attention. After confirming that Lin Sui wouldn’t come out for a while, he continued to fight with the red rope in his hand.

Lin Sui in the kitchen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Yan said that celebrations should have surprises, but as soon as he saw Gu Nian, he couldn’t help but smile. He almost couldn’t help but take out the gift and show it to Gu Nian just now. That was a close call.

Lin Sui patted his face, turned around, and started making a cake.

While waiting for the cake base to form, Lin Sui looked for some birthday cake pictures for reference. Who knew that once he started looking, he couldn’t stop. He was dazzled and couldn’t stop, wanting to make this one and that one.

Lin Sui struggled for a long time and couldn’t select the most satisfactory one. He turned his head and glanced at the ingredients, and happily decided to make a three-layer cake.

In this way, the time was extended a lot. By the time Lin Sui finished drawing the last pattern with the pastry bag, it was almost evening, and his hands were sore from working for a long time.

Lin Sui rubbed his arms, looked at the freshly baked big cake in front of him, and a dimple appeared at the corner of his mouth.

There were candles at home that Lin Sui had bought because he thought they looked good, which could just come in handy. Afraid that Gu Nian wouldn’t get used to it, Lin Sui also carefully prepared a bottle of refreshing, low-alcohol beverage, ensuring that he wouldn’t get drunk either.

After preparing everything, it was almost time. Lin Sui poked his head out of the kitchen and was surprised to find that Gu Nian had already gone upstairs at some point.

However, his absence just made it convenient for him to decorate.

Lin Sui immediately ran out and put flowers and red candles on the table in the dining room, then struggled to put the huge cake in the middle.

The cake was specially covered with a lid. Lin Sui glanced upstairs, thought about it, squatted down and hid under the table, blocking himself with a chair, and sent a message to Gu Nian.

[I have something to do and have to go out for a while. Remember to come down for dinner. Try to come down earlier, or the food will get cold.]

After a while, Gu Nian hadn’t replied yet, and Lin Sui hugged his knees a little nervously.

[Okay]

It took a full two minutes before he finally sent a very simple word.

Could it be that he didn’t see it just now?

Lin Sui guessed.

And he didn’t know if it was Lin Sui’s illusion, but he actually saw… disappointment and grievance in this one word?

How could Gu Nian be disappointed just because he couldn’t have a meal together? Lin Sui shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too much.

A few minutes later, the sound of a wheelchair rolling across the ground rang around. Lin Sui immediately threw the distracting thoughts to the back of his mind, held his breath, and waited for Gu Nian to get closer.

In order to create an atmosphere, Lin Sui turned off all the lights on the first floor. Therefore, Gu Nian walked a little laboriously and felt very strange in his heart.

Generally speaking, Lin Sui would leave him a light on to facilitate his movement, but this time he didn’t…

Gu Nian pursed his lips, and an undisguised irritability flowed between his brows. He took out the huge red Chinese knot that had been woven from behind him, examined it in front of his eyes for a long time, and then put it back behind him with a cold face.

It was so ugly, how could he give it to Lin Sui?

Gu Nian was upset for a while before he remembered to go to dinner, turned the wheelchair and walked to the dining room.

Lin Sui had been waiting for a while. Seeing him coming over, he immediately perked up, aimed at the right time, pushed the chair away with a “whoosh,” and the whole person jumped out with a “pa da”—a shining appearance!

“Gu Nian!” Lin Sui said loudly, “Happy birthday!”

Gu Nian was stunned.

Lin Sui took a step forward, and suddenly the whole person knelt down on one knee, holding a small box in his hand—it was the one he bought in the mall during the day.

“That, someone said that the best gifts are things that you wouldn’t normally buy but like very much.” Lin Sui smiled a little embarrassedly, and said shyly, “I don’t know what you like, but I’ve always wanted to buy a pair of rings that we can wear out, just, just for the two of us to wear. I think you should like them too.”

After a pause, Lin Sui blushed and said in a low voice, “This is already the most expensive one I’ve picked. Although it’s still not as good as the one at the wedding, I’ll buy you an even better one when I find it in the future.”

Gu Nian looked at the person in front of him who was still shining in the dark, and couldn’t make a sound for a long time.

He now felt like he had been hit by a huge pie, so happy that he was dizzy.

He was being proposed to.

By the person he loved the most.

On his birthday.

Lin Sui secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Nian. Because it was too dark around, he couldn’t see his expression clearly. He nervously swallowed and said, “S-so, do, do you want it?”

Gu Nian still didn’t speak, stretched out his hand, which was bigger than Lin Sui’s, and forcefully grabbed Lin Sui’s wrist holding the ring box.

Gu Nian’s body temperature was always cool, while Lin Sui’s was the opposite. The moment they came into contact, Lin Sui felt a coolness and a feeling of electric shock, which made his brain go blank. He just stared blankly as Gu Nian bent down and put the ring on his finger with a gentle look.

Gu Nian stared at it for a moment, lightly kissed his finger, raised his head and looked at Lin Sui with a smile, “This is the best birthday gift.”

“!”

Lin Sui’s head was ringing like it had been bombarded, and he couldn’t react for a long time. His brain seemed to be broken, and he suddenly thought of the gift that Shi Yan had first suggested to him during the day.

He originally felt that it didn’t matter whether he had it or not, but at this moment, looking at Gu Nian’s loving eyes, Lin Sui’s heart suddenly went into chaos.

Just, just, just…

He was so horny.

Lin Sui was so ashamed by his own thoughts that he lowered his head and didn’t want Gu Nian to see him.

“Put one on for me too?” Gu Nian urged softly. Although he liked to see Lin Sui shy, he really didn’t want to wait in this situation.

“Oh.” Lin Sui came back to his senses and awkwardly pushed the ring slowly to the root of Gu Nian’s left ring finger.

The diamond still shone with its unique light even in the dimness. Gu Nian’s hands were long and white, and very bony. It looked even better when he wore the ring. Lin Sui couldn’t help but touch it, and stretched out his own left hand to put the two rings together. Finally, he had the feeling that he and Gu Nian were wearing wedding rings.

It was a real ring that represented the relationship between husband and husband.

The corners of Lin Sui’s mouth were almost reaching his ears, he was so beautiful.

“Okay, let’s eat the cake.” Lin Sui got up, took Gu Nian’s left hand, and pulled him to open the cake lid together.

Therefore, Lin Sui didn’t see the hesitation that flashed in Gu Nian’s eyes.

Just as he opened the cake, Lin Sui was about to insert the candles, when he suddenly felt the person whose hand was being held by him tighten his fingers.

“What’s wrong?”

“…” Gu Nian turned his head slightly and said in a low voice, “I have a gift for you too.”

“Really!” Lin Sui was pleasantly surprised, not caring about the cake, and his invisible ears perked up expectantly: “Where is it?”

Gu Nian slowly took out the not-so-perfect Chinese knot from behind him, paused, and said in a broken pot way, “I know it’s very ugly, I’m sorry I still didn’t learn it this time. Next time, I’ll definitely make you a better one.”

After saying that in one breath, Gu Nian lowered his eyes and avoided Lin Sui’s gaze, feeling a little angry in his heart.

Angry at himself.

Lin Sui had prepared such a good gift for him, but he could only give such an unsightly one. He should have just bought one. Although he wanted to give something he made himself even more.

Just like what Lin Sui had given him countless times.

“Ah!” As expected, Lin Sui let out a cry of surprise.

He must have been disgusted by it, Gu Nian slumped down.

“So cute!” Lin Sui took the Chinese knot, looked at it with amazement, and said excitedly: “Gu Nian, did you make this? It’s so beautiful!”

“…” Gu Nian felt a little better and shook his head, “You don’t have to comfort me, I know it’s not good-looking.”

“Really not, I really think it’s good-looking.” Lin Sui said with a smile, “Because it was given by Gu Nian, so what’s important is not what the result is, but that I feel Gu Nian’s love from this gift, a lot and a lot of love. They are more important than anything, so this is the most beautiful.”

Gu Nian couldn’t help but curl his lips, “Really?”

“Really.” Lin Sui really liked it, stroking it inch by inch with love, “I’ll hang it in our bedroom later!”

“Then, I’ll make you a better-looking one next time and we’ll change them out.”

“Okay!”

Lin Sui’s eyes curved with a smile, turned around and cut a big piece of cake, and inserted his favorite candle on it.

“Now, it’s time to make a wish, birthday star.”

Gu Nian rarely celebrated his birthday, most of which were replaced by various banquets, and he had never made a wish on a cake.

He had always been a realist, preferring to achieve his goals step by step rather than make ethereal wishes.

This was Gu Nian’s idea before meeting Lin Sui. Now, Gu Nian closed his eyes and repeated his wish in his heart over and over again.

“I hope Lin Sui will always, always be by my side.”
