Chapter 45.1
Editor: Jodi
The timing was perfect, and the atmosphere just right. Tang Zhou thought everything would go smoothly on his birthday. However he had overlooked one crucial detail: he hadn’t prepared any condoms.
Tang Zhou: “…….” This was a major oversight.
Fu Shen chuckled softly, giving him a few light kisses on the face to coax him. “You have work tomorrow. There’s no rush.”
Tang Zhou glanced downwards— how could there be no rush with this situation?
Luckily, they hadn’t fully undressed yet and so could still stop in time. Fu Shen went to the bathroom, leaving Tang Zhou lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He made a mental note to buy some tomorrow.
How could he have forgotten?
When Fu Shen returned, he found Tang Zhou still wide awake, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
This caused the desire that had just calmed down to rise up again.
He tried hard to suppress it, then lying down beside Tang Zhou, pulled him into his arms. “Why are you staring at me?”
“Remember to buy some tomorrow.”
Fu Shen froze for a moment, then laughed. “Alright.”
Only then did Tang Zhou relax and drift off to sleep.
The next day was Tang Zhou’s birthday, and just as work ended, he received a message from Fu Shen.
[Fu Shen]: I’m downstairs at your office.
[Tang Zhou]: Coming right down.
As the employees of Hua Yue streamed out at the end of the day, they immediately noticed Fu Shen who was in the parking lot.
“Look! A handsome guy!”
“Damn, he’s really good-looking! Almost as handsome as President Tang.”
“I still think President Tang is better looking.”
“I like both of them!”
Amidst the employees’ chatter, Tang Zhou walked straight to Fu Shen, a smile spreading across his face. “Let’s go home.”
The onlookers: !!!
Seeing the two handsome men together was pure bliss!
Fu Shen took the car keys, naturally becoming Tang Zhou’s chauffeur.
As Tang Zhou fastened his seatbelt, he asked, “Did you buy it?”
“I did.” Fu Shen’s voice was a little hoarse.
Tang Zhou began to look forward to the evening.
However, plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
Because Fu Shen led Tang Zhou into the elevator of their apartment complex, then pressed the button for the 17th floor.
Tang Zhou was puzzled. “What’s going on?”
“There’s a dinner party tonight. Everyone’s upstairs.”
“Oh.” This was also quite nice.
Then the elevator stopped on the 17th floor, and Fu Shen, holding Tang Zhou’s hand, opened the door to apartment 1726.
The moment they stepped into the entryway, all they saw was pitch darkness.
Before Tang Zhou could say anything, a loud bang erupted next to his ear, then something fell onto his head and shoulders.
“Tang Shen, happy birthday!”
“Tang Zhou, happy birthday!”
“Zhou Ge, happy birthday!”
A chorus of cheers filled Tang Zhou’s ears, making his chest swell with emotion.
Then the lights in the living room suddenly came on, revealing the faces of everyone present, all of them showing sincere congratulations.
Fu Shen brushed the streamers off of Tang Zhou gently, then led him to the center of the living room.
The room had been specially decorated, with a round table in the middle bearing a cake.
It was the one Ms. Zheng had delivered yesterday.
Ai Mo, the most lively of the group, handed the cake candles to Tang Zhou. “Tang Shen, light the candles quickly!”
Fu Shen took them from him. “Let me.”
Tang Zhou had never celebrated such a “simple” birthday before— it felt both novel and heartwarming.
His lover and friends were all sincerely wishing him well, without any fake smiles or nauseating politeness. Everything was warm and stable.
Fu Shen lit the candles and turned to look at him.
“Make a wish.”
Tang Zhou closed his eyes, opened them a few seconds later, then puffed his cheeks out to blow out the candles.
Everyone clapped together.
Lu Ye said, “Tang Zhou, this is your liveliest birthday yet.”
Compared to those superficial festivities, this genuine gathering was really lively.
“Zhou Ge, I want that flower. Can you save it for me when you cut the cake?” Qiao Yuan pointed at the cake, still looking fresh and innocent but with a newfound calmness.
“Tang Shen, then I want this one!” Ai Mo chimed in quickly.
“Don’t fight, don’t fight. Tang Shen, cut this one for me, hehehe.”
Everyone started clamoring for pieces of the cake. Tang Zhou handed the cake knife to them and smiled as he watched them discuss how to divide it.
Ai Mo, being small and thin, was pushed back a step, causing him to accidentally step on someone’s toe. He turned around immediately and said, “Sorry!”
Mi Shu looked at him expressionlessly before distancing himself from the excited crowd quietly.
Tang Zhou knew they were just trying to liven up the atmosphere, which warmed his heart. However just as he was about to say something, Mi Da Shen walked to him coolly, then pulled an object from his pocket.
It was a small, exquisite USB drive.
Tang Zhou: ?
Mi Shu, still sharp-eyed, said, “A gift.”
Tang Zhou was pleasantly surprised as he accepted it. “Thank you.”
It was quite unusual for the typically solitary Mi Da Shen to actually give him a gift.
He glanced at Fu Shen.
Fu Shen smiled, “Isn’t it nice?”
Tang Zhou nodded, “It is.”
After giving his gift, Mi Shu had no interest in fighting over cake. He sat alone on the sofa, his fingers flying across the screen of his phone.
And Ai Mo, holding a piece of cake, plopped down next to him and peeked over, only to shout, “My god, your hands are so fast!”
Mi Shu’s hand shook, causing him to miss a key.
He glanced at the young man with cream on his lips, then restarted his game silently.
Ai Mo, feeling a bit embarrassed, scooted away from him.
