The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Happy Birthday

Xu Wen clearly felt that the strength of the arms around his waist was slowly relaxing.

He held his breath and carefully moved out of the warm embrace. He didn’t dare to breathe a sigh of relief until he was completely out of bed.

Brother Lu’s sleeping habit is really bad. When he falls asleep, he always crawls into people’s arms unconsciously.

Xu Wen rubbed his numb arms, completely unaware that his sleep state would not be much better.

The phone screen glowed dimly in the darkness—exactly midnight.

He stood on tiptoes, quietly moved to the door, and brought in the cake box that had been hidden in advance.

Yesterday he asked the system about Lu Qingrang’s birthday.

The system only gives a vague response: [ID card registration date].

When I asked further, I got a cold response [missing information, no clear record].

Thinking of Brother Lu’s silent look after coming back from outside yesterday, that so-called birthday probably brought him only unpleasant memories.

Since there is no exact birthday, let’s recount yesterday.

Starting today, create a birthday that is only about happiness.

Xu Wen gently opened the cake box and looked at the beautiful cream cake carefully through the moonlight coming in from the window.

He could have called his noisy company colleagues and thrown a proper birthday party.

But he had a little selfishness that he didn’t want to share with anyone.

He wanted to be the first person to say “Happy Birthday” to Lu Qingrang.

I want to give him the first blessing before everyone else.

Now, everything is ready.

Xu Wen pursed his lips and couldn’t help but rehearse in his mind, what would Brother Lu’s reaction be?Will you be excited to give him a bear hug?

“Hehe” he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and quickly covered his mouth.

He quietly returned to the bed, reached out and turned on the warm yellow night light beside the bed.The soft light spread out, outlining the profile of Lu Qingrang’s sleeping face.

Xu Wen rubbed his hands vigorously until his palms were warm, then he gently bent down and held Lu Qingrang’s warm cheeks.

“Brother Lu? Brother Lu—” He lowered his voice, like kneading a soft glutinous rice ball.

Lu Qingrang turned his head unconsciously in his sleep, instinctively chasing the familiar temperature, rubbing it against his palm, and making a vague nasal noise.

Xu Wen’s heart softened: “Wake up, wake up.”

Those beautiful peach blossom eyes finally opened slowly, their long eyelashes trembled slightly, and their eyes were still covered with a layer of moisture, full of confusion.

Only then did Xu Wen let go of the hand that was rubbing his cheek, and instead held his armpit neatly. With a little force, he lifted the man out of the bed and let him sit on the head of the bed.

Lu Qingrang was so docile throughout the whole process, he just put his forehead on Xu Wen’s waist in a daze and asked vaguely: “What’s wrong?”

“Get up! Get up quickly!” The excitement on Xu Wen’s face could not be hidden for a long time, and all calmness and mystery were forgotten.

Lu Qingrang raised his sleepy eyes and looked at Xu Wen, who had a few clumps of messy hair in front of him. He subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his hair, which was messy as he slept.

Before he was fully awake, Xu Wen took his arm and took him out of bed.

“Hurry up!” Xu Wen pushed his back and couldn’t wait to take him out of the room.

Lu Qingrang stood barefoot at the door of the bedroom, looking at the dark living room in front of him, blinking blankly, and he was about to ask.

Xu Wen beside him had already pressed the switch on the wall with a “pop” sound.

There was a beautiful strawberry cake on the dining table. The soft cream was dotted with bright red strawberries and chocolate chips. The warm yellow light shone on the words “Happy Birthday” on the top of the cake, giving it a faint golden luster.

Lu Qingrang stared blankly at everything in front of him.

“Pah——”

Xu Wen neatly opened a small salute beside him, and colorful sequins scattered in all directions, landing in their hair and shoulders.

Lu Qingrang still stood still, his eyes slowly moved from the cake to Xu Wen’s smiling face.

Seeing his dazed look, Xu Wen thought he was still sleepy, smiled and pushed his shoulder, leading him to a chair to sit down.

“The birthday girl should look like the birthday girl.” Xu Wen picked up the childlike birthday crown and gently put it on Lu Qingrang’s soft black hair.

He neatly inserted the candle and lit it, then trotted to turn off the light.

Xu Wen’s voice sounded in the darkness: “Brother Lu, make a wish quickly!”

Lu Qingrang closed his eyes, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and after a moment, he leaned forward and gently blew out the candle.

The lights come back on.

Xu Wen couldn’t wait to step forward, his eyes sparkling: “How are you? Are you happy, Brother Lu!”

Lu Qingrang nodded slightly.

Xu Wen didn’t think his silence was indifference at all, and still handed over the cake knife happily: “Come on, come on, try it! I’ve been choosing this flavor for a long time.”

Seeing that Lu Qingrang was still sitting in a daze, Xu Wen simply took matters into his own hands, cut off a piece of cake, carefully placed it on a paper plate, and then put the fork into his hand.

Lu Qingrang dug out a small piece of cake with a fork and put it into his mouth. The sweet cream melted on the tip of his tongue. Lu Qingrang’s thoughts that seemed to be covered by mist gradually became clear.

The sweetness blooms on the taste buds, and the rich milky fragrance fills the nose.

He was about to take another taste, but his vision slowly blurred.

“Oh, Brother Lu…”

It wasn’t until warm fingertips gently touched the corners of his eyes, wiping away the moisture, that Lu Qingrang suddenly realized.

It turned out that he was crying.

The hot tears fell down like broken threads, one drop after another, melting into the beautiful cake.

Xu Wen hurriedly wiped it for him, but the tears became more and more.

“What’s the matter?” Xu Wenfang lowered his voice, “Don’t you like birthdays?”

Lu Qingrang opened his mouth, wanting to ask how he knew this day, but as he spoke, he suddenly remembered the cake that fell to the ground yesterday.All the questions were choked in his throat, and eventually turned into more raging tears.

He shook his head vigorously, but tears fell down.

Xu Wen had no choice but to hold his face and lift it up gently. Under the warm yellow light, his red peach blossom eyes were filled with water, and his eyelashes were wetly stuck together.

“Okay, okay, don’t cry anymore…” Xu Wenfang softened his voice and gently stroked his cheek with his thumb, “Look at your little painted face.”

Their eyes met, Xu Wen had a smile on his lips, and his voice was extremely gentle:

“Lu Qingrang, happy birthday.”

Lu Qingrang’s tears couldn’t stop falling, but he stubbornly kept his eyes open, looking closely at the person in front of him who was wiping his tears through the blurred mist.

It turns out that happiness that overflows will turn into unstoppable tears.

His long-broken heart was completely filled by Xu Wen in the clumsiest and most sincere way.

From now on, the only person who can affect his emotions is Xu Wen.

Regardless, he buried himself deeply into Xu Wen’s arms and held him tight with all his strength.

Two people with messy hair hugged each other tightly in the warm yellow light. The strawberry cake behind them exuded a sweet fragrance, and the colorful sequins on the floor shimmered.

In this ordinary late night, twenty-six-year-old Lu Qingrang finally waited for the first birthday that truly belonged to him in his life.
