The cake slowly slipped down his face and was caught by God knows who. Qi Le only felt that his sight was obstructed and the air in his nasal cavity was thick with sweetness. He wiped his eyes and was silent for a moment. Only then did he see two fashionable boys standing in front of him. They both wore makeup and looked like some bewitching demon.
"Haha, isn't it fun? Is the cake sweet?" One of them looked at him with a smile, "Xiaoyuan gē, today is my birthday, how can you be late? Oh, I heard that you've lost your memory. Take a good look, do you still remember me?"
The other person echoed, "Xiaoyuan gē, do you recognize me?"
The two of them pulled him into the private lounge and greeted him enthusiastically while they casually smeared cream all over his head and neck. To outsiders, they appeared both naughty and adorable. The person who caught the cake pulled down his collar and stuffed it inside his clothes. Then, they forced him to keep the cake under his clothes and dragged him forwards.
Qi Le, "......"
They leisurely chattered on and entered the private lounge. Ye Shuichuan came from the other corner and entered at the same time. He originally wanted to smile and say hello. However, when he saw his little brother, his face turned ugly."You..."
"We're just having fun, Xiao Chuan gē."
"Right, we've all agreed that anyone who's late will be punished and has to drink three glasses later."
"Yeah Xiao Chuan gē, this is just cake. It's not anything else. We're just having fun."
Everyone knew that Ye Shuichuan protected Qi Le and was sure to get angry so they quickly spoke up in a coy manner.
Ye Shuichuan ignored them and observed his little brother's look with trepidation. Then, he quickly turned out his pocket and threw him a packet of tissues before walking towards him, silently leaning against the door. Shen Shu didn't have time to stop them earlier. Seeing that things had turned out like this, he also chose to stand at the door and remain silent. Baby Face pondered expressionlessly for a moment, then slowly shuffled towards his older brother. He took out his cellphone to shoot the whole process, ready to use it as learning material so he could go back and study it properly.
At this moment the door opened again. Everyone turned to look at the person who came in only to see Ning Xiao. The bunch of little zeroes' eyes shone brightly right then. They all greeted him and invited him to sit down.
The first thing that Ning Xiao saw after entering the room was Qi Le, who stood with his back to him, head covered in cream. He couldn't help but frown and wanted to go forward and say something. But on second thought, this was the person who had heroically forced Shen Shu to the ground in the hospital. He immediately stopped, folded his arms, and stood against the door, choosing to sit tight and observe the situation.
The people over there saw that Ning Xiao had completely ignored them and single-mindedly stared at Zheng Xiaoyuan instead. They thought about the recent rumors and their eyes immediately grew red with anger. They subconsciously turned to glare at the object of their hatred. Why did this bitch have such good luck?!
Qi Le pulled out a few sheets of tissue paper and pushed away the two men who were holding onto him. He got rid of the cake that was sticking to his back, holding it with one hand and slowly wiping his face with the other. He stuck the cream back onto the cake. The cake was only a little bigger than his palm and it looked like these people had specifically bought it to smack his face with it. He glanced around and saw a big cake on the coffee table over there, which looked like it had just been removed from the box and was still intact. There were several plates of fruit and salad beside the cake. There was also an ice bucket with two bottles of red wine inside.
Besides the people that he knew, there were only five others. He thought about how he had recently been tortured by his older brother and his brother-in-law but had no place to vent his frustrations. He might as well have a "good" time with them today, so as to save this group of little zeroes from finding trouble with him again in the future.
The few of them standing at the door saw him remove the cake from under his clothes and grew more and more grim. Ye Shuichuan and Shen Shu shuffled backwards, thinking to themselves, that's it! They've gone too far!
The two culprits saw that they were all looking at a certain someone and felt that the situation was a bit off. One of them looked at Qi Le and asked with a smile, "Xiaoyuan gē, it's my birthday today. We're just playing around. You won't get angry, will you?"
Qi Le nodded, slowly breaking into a smile, his tone sounding especially friendly, "Of course. Although I don't remember you guys, I feel very close to you now that I've seen you." He wiped the cream off his neck and felt that it was about time. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you very much and want to give you something. You all know that I don't have much, I only money."
The two men immediately smiled, "Xiaoyuan gē, we also miss you... Haven't you forgotten us?"
"Now that I've seen you, I remember, which proves that our friendship is really deep, " Qi Le smiled amiably."Alright then, that's enough talking." As soon as his words fell, he suddenly buckled one of them in the back of the head and slammed the cake in his hand hard onto his face, using so much strength that his face went right through the cake.
Then, he dropped him and before the other person could react, Qi Le dragged the other one to the front of the coffee table and pressed down on his neck so his face fell straight into the big cake. Suddenly, there was a sharp intake of breath from everyone in the room. Qi Le pulled him up and looked at him with a smile, "Happy birthday, it's better to be happy together than happy alone. What do you think?"
It was impossible to see the man's facial features anymore. He opened his mouth to speak but was pressed into the cake again. Qi Le conveniently grabbed a plate of salad from the side and dropped it on his neck, threw the plate away and pulled him up again. The salad immediately fell under his clothes along his back.
"Zheng Xiaoyuan... Wu..."
Qi Le pressed him down again and swept his gaze across the room. He saw the first person rush towards him angrily and quickly pushed him aside. The man was caught off guard and bumped into the other guy, his clothes covered in cake as well.
Taking out the two bottles of red wine, Qi Le shook the ice in the ice bucket and looked at them, "Are we still playing?" He paused slightly and looked around, "What about the rest of you?"
The bunch of them couldn't believe that this was something Zheng Xiaoyuan would do. They stared at him in a daze and had just regained their senses. Then, they subconsciously turned to tonight's birthday boy. The man had been stunned by the sudden onslaught. He felt greatly humiliated and wiped the cream off his face."Bitch, I'll fight you!"
Qi Le's clothes had long been dirtied so he wasn't afraid of him at all. He grabbed the cake and smashed it, then turned to the people at the door, "Watch the door. Anyone can come in but no one leaves this room!"
P. S. Thank you so much for the well wishes. You guys are really the sweetest readers ever!
