“I also prepared something for you.” Yu Anyi handed over the small bag in her hand. “But I must confess, I’m not good at remembering things, so I almost forgot that today was your birthday. It was only when Jingxing reminded me that I remembered.”
Ji Qingzhou felt a bit embarrassed. If it weren’t for Chu Cheng’s reminder, he probably wouldn’t have invited Lian Jingxing and Yu Anyi, intending to celebrate his birthday secretly with just Chu Cheng. However, to his surprise, the other two had prepared birthday gifts for him. He felt extremely ashamed.
“So, um, have you all eaten yet?”
“Not yet,” Lian Jingxing said.
“I’ve eaten.” Yu Anyi replied. “But I would like to have a slice of your cake.”
She looked at the DIY cake. “Who made it? Qingzhou, did you make it yourself? It looks pretty decent, except that there’s no decoration.”
“Ah Cheng made it.” Ji Qingzhou glanced at Chu Cheng.
Chu Cheng looked proud, “That’s right, it was me.”
Yu Anyi was doubly shocked. “You can also make cakes!”
“I am such a multi-talented person; why can’t I do it?”
Yu Anyi couldn’t help but give him a compliment. “You are really amazing. You have never touched the spring water since you were a child. Now that you have grown up, you can not only make your debut for love but also be a pastry chef for love! You should really take a picture of it and let my brother and others see your excellent cooking skills.”
Chu Cheng said without shame, “That’s not good; it’ll be a hard blow to them.”
Yu Anyi didn’t feel like talking to him anymore. What could she do about his thick-skinned nature? Well, she would just have to bear with it and endure!
Seeing her weary expression, Ji Qingzhou cut a piece of cake for her and handed it over. “Try it; it’s not bad.”
Yu Anyi said sceptically, “Looking through the eyes of a lover, you see him as a Michelin-star chef.”
Ji Qingzhou affirmed, “Really.”
Only then did Yu Anyi taste it. She was surprised to find out that it was really not bad.
Yu Anyi silently looked at Chu Cheng, who looked proud. “How was it? Have you been conquered by my cooking skills?”
Yu Anyi: ….
Yu Anyi didn’t want to chat with her friend anymore.
Ji Qingzhou cut another piece for Lian Jingxing, and then invited them to eat.
There were only four of them at the moment, and there were no cameras, so they didn’t have any scruples when they talked. They talked and played the game they had played before when recording the program, and the room was full of laughter.
When it was almost time to eat, Chu Cheng cleared his throat, “Well then, let’s play a game, whoever loses will have to sing.”
“Okay.” Everyone agreed.
As a result, Chu Cheng lost the game as soon as they started playing it.

“Are you even capable? Sing! Sing!” Yu Anyi shouted.

Ji Qingzhou felt that Chu Cheng’s suitcase was like a Qiankun bag, and he could always dig out some things that would shock him. He regretted that he hadn’t seen what Chu Cheng had stuffed into his suitcase before he recorded the show.
Not long after, Chu Cheng came out with a guitar. Not only Ji Qingzhou but also Lian Jingxng and Yu Anyi were stunned.
“Tbe fnfc ygbeuta atlr?” Al Hlcuhtbe fzmijlwfv lc regqglrf, Jjc atlr fnfc ola?
“You didn’t know?” Lian Jingxing asked him.
Ji Qingzhou pointed at himself. “Do I look like someone who would know? Who would stuff a guitar in their suitcase?”
But now, Chu Cheng was demonstrating through his actions that he could indeed stuff a guitar in his suitcase! It even fit perfectly!
Amidst everyone’s shocked eyes, Chu Cheng proudly pulled his chair a little farther away from the others and began tuning his guitar.
Lian Jingxing looked at his attitude. It didn’t look like he was singing as punishment after losing; it was clearly as if he had brought all the equipment and planned to hold a concert.
“I think you are only short of a microphone.” Yu Anyi said, “Why didn’t you bring a microphone for yourself?”
“I still need a microphone to sing in this small place.” Chu Cheng gave her a disdainful look, plucked the strings, and prepared to sing.
“So, before I start singing, let me say something.” Chu Cheng said, “Happy birthday, Zhouzhou. Although this birthday may have been a bit simple, the beauty lies in its simplicity.”
“Yes.” Yu Anyi cheered and clapped. “Happy Birthday, Zhouzhou.”
Lian Jingxing also said, “Happy birthday, Zhouzhou.”
Ji Qingzhou felt a bit embarrassed by their words and quietly lowered his head, but a smile that couldn’t be concealed still adorned his face.
Chu Cheng began to sing after they finished talking. His voice was gentle, with a hint of magnetism. He softly sang:
“Because I dreamt of you leaving,
I woke up weeping.
I watch the night breeze blow by the windowsill.
Can you feel my love?”
Ji Qingzhou froze for a moment. He thought that Chu Cheng would sing《Can’t Let Go of Love》, but he didn’t expect him to sing this song. He looked at Chu Cheng and listened to him sing slowly:
“Wait until the day we grow old,
Will you still be by my side?
See those promises and lies,
Slowly dissipate with the past.
How many people once admired your youthful beauty?
But who knows who will endure the merciless passage of time?
How many people have come and gone in your life?
But know that throughout our lives, I’ll be by your side.”
At that moment, Ji Qingzhou only had Chu Cheng in his eyes.
He didn’t believe in marriage, nor did he believe in eternity, but deep down, he yearned for it. He longed for eternity. He had once wanted to sing this song to Chu Cheng to tell him that as long as they were together, he would be by his side. However, he never expected that it would be Chu Cheng who sang it to him first.
Ji Qingzhou felt that this song was actually more fitting for him because he had woken up crying from his dreams, fearing Chu Cheng’s disappearance. However, unbeknownst to him, Chu Cheng had also awakened from his dreams due to his own absence, unable to sleep peacefully through the nights without him.
As he listened to Chu Cheng sing, every word resonated deeply within him. Ji Qingzhou felt as though his heart was illuminated, with ripples of light shimmering across the surface, bringing a sense of serenity and clarity. In that moment, he finally believed that they could have a lasting future together. If Chu Cheng continued to care for him in this way, they would never be apart. They could walk hand in hand if only Chu Cheng was willing.
After Chu Cheng finished singing, Ji Qingzhou enthusiastically applauded for him.
Yu Anyi whispered, “It’s so romantic.”
Chu Cheng looked at Ji Qingzhou, and a gentle smile spread across his face. He watched his beloved in the flickering candlelight, seeing the warmth and love reflected in his eyes. If only time were a clock that they could manipulate, Chu Cheng wished he could turn the hands to the very end of their lives in the next second, so that Ji Qingzhou could witness that they had gone through their entire lives together.
But at the same time, Chu Cheng felt that even if time could be manipulated like a clock, he wanted to take each step, each minute, slowly walking together with Ji Qingzhou. He wanted to witness the ebb and flow of tides and the rising and setting of the sun. Each day, he wanted to kiss and embrace him, cherishing every moment they spent together.
No one can confidently claim to know their entire life’s journey, but Chu Cheng knew deep within that he wasn’t making empty promises. From the moment he let go of all his worries and boarded the plane to find Ji Qingzhou, his life had already been written, recorded in the flowing river of his existence.
Lian Jingxing saw Yu Anyi looking at Chu Cheng enviously, thought for a while, and said to Chu Cheng, “Are you still singing? If you are not singing, then let’s continue playing the game.”
“You still believe that he wanted to play games. Playing games was just a cover for him to sing, okay?” Yu Anyi turned to look at him, and her eyes were full of ‘why don’t you understand?’
Lian Jingxing smiled but didn’t have the nerve to tell her that he too wanted an excuse.
“Let’s play.” This was the only song Chu Cheng wanted to sing, and now that he had finished singing, he started playing games with them again.
This time, the game lasted a bit longer. The four of them took turns for four or five rounds before Lian Jingxing made a mistake.
Chu Cheng immediately heckled, “Sing.”
Yu Anyi also shouted, “Sing, sing.”
Lian Jingxing walked over and took the guitar in a very easy manner.
Ji Qingzhou said in surprise, “Brother, you can also play the guitar?”
“Of course.”
Thinking that Ji Qingzhou couldn’t play the guitar, Yu Anyi comforted him, saying, “It’s okay. I don’t know how to play either. The two of us can be a team.”
“But I can play it too.” Ji Qingzhou turned to look at her.
Yu Anyi: …..
Yu Anyi felt that she was the bald head among the crowd. Out of the four of them, she was the only one who couldn’t play the guitar. It was terrible!
Lian Jingxing moved his chair back, plucked the guitar, and began singing:
“If one day,
I go back to the past.
Return to my most original self.
Would you still think I’m good?”
It was the first time Ji Qingzhou had heard Lian Jingxing sing. He found that when Lian Jingxing sang, his expression was gentler than usual, and his tone was much softer.
He listened to Lian Jingxing sing:
“When you squint your eyes and smile,
When you drink cola, when you argue,
I want to be good to you.
You never know.
Missing you, missing you,
Can also become a habit.”
Ji Qingzhou turned to look at Chu Cheng in shock. Chu Cheng was obviously the same as him. They didn’t expect Lian Jingxing to sing such a straightforward song.
They sneaked a glance at Yu Anyi unconsciously and saw Yu Anyi listening attentively. Her head was swaying gently with the music, completely immersed in it.
Ji Qingzhou: …..
Chu Cheng: …..
Over there, Lian Jingxing was still singing, “I like you so much, do you know?”
Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng looked at each other; obviously she didn’t know it! The two shook their heads and silently cried tears of sympathy for Lian Jingxing.
They played for a while, and before they knew it, it was already nine o’clock. So Lian Jingxing and Yu Anyi got up to leave.
“I won’t send you off. Lian Jingxing, you can send Missy back.” Chu Cheng was in a good mood today and decided to help Lian Jingxing.
Lian Jingxing naturally agreed, “Okay.”
“Be careful on the road; see you tomorrow morning.” Ji Qingzhou bid them farewell and watched them walk out of his yard.
Chu Cheng cleaned up the table consciously. Ji Qingzhou wanted to help him, but Chu Cheng stopped him by telling him that he didn’t need to do these things on his birthday. Ji Qingzhou had no choice but to watch him clean while talking with him.
Chu Cheng and Ji Qingzhou sat on the bed and began to unwrap the gifts from Lian Jingxing and Yu Anyi. Lian Jingxing’s gift was a pen, which was a bit unexpected but somehow fitting to his style, and Ji Qingzhou quite liked it. Yu Anyi’s gift, on the other hand, was a watch, which was more in line with Ji Qingzhou’s expectations. He thought the watch had an elegant and delicate design, and he was already thinking about wearing it to some future events.
“They’re all very good.” He said happily, “However,” he looked up at Chu Cheng, “Your gift was still the best.”
Chu Cheng kissed him. “That’s natural; I’m your boyfriend.”
On the other side, Yu Anyi and Lian Jingxing were walking on a small road in the countryside. Yu Anyi recalled the scene just now and couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s quite enviable that they are like this.”
“Do you envy them?” Lian Jingxing asked her.
The author has something to say:
Lian Jingxing: If you are envious, why don’t we give it a try?
Yu Anyi: What to try?
Lian Jingxing: Try dating.
Yu Anyi (jumped three feet high): No, thank you. I’ll pass, Goodbye [Rejecting three times in a row.jpg]
Lian Jingxing: …..
Chu Cheng: Miserable, too miserable.
Zhou Zhou: It is indeed a bit miserable
Chu Cheng sang “A Lifetime with You”(一生有你) by Shui Mu Nian Hua, while Li Jingxing sang “When You”(当你) by JJ Lin. Both JJ Lin and Cyndi Wang have sung the song “When You,” but Li Jingxing sang the version by JJ Lin (which, to be honest, is not bad at all).
Thanks for the update
Thanks for the update!
Poor Lian Jingxing 😂😂😂
I’ll pray for you, brother!!!
Jiayou brother Jingxing!
I feel bad for LJX… tbh, I dislike painfully oblivious characters like Anyi. I kind of wish he would move on, but hopefully she will be enlightened soon!!!!
