Mama Yin made a hus.h.i.+ng gesture, grabbed his hand, and took him downstairs.
Once the two of them were seated on the sofa, she whispered, “Xiaoxiao’s birthday is coming up soon. I think we should bring her back to America to celebrate. I feel that it’d be better that way.”
Originally, the plan was to celebrate Xiaoxiao’s birthday in China, but after the hostage incident she wanted Xiaoxiao to be happy.
After all, the hostage situation might have been a warning from the Heavens.
Mama Yin continued, “There are still a few days before the 20th December. Let’s go to the United States now. There’s time to arrange things.”
Yin Shaojie looked down, deep in thought, his gaze heavy.
After a while, he nodded and said, “It’s okay if we go to America too. Papa Mu is also there, anyway. He’s busy so we shouldn’t let him come all the way here and go back. Also, Xiaoxiao has many friends in America.”
“It’s settled, then.” Mama Yin cemented the decision.
Yin Shaojie looked up the stairs and said, “We should ask Xiaoxiao what she thinks too.”
“Yes, yes, we should ask her what she thinks.”
Mama Yin thought that Xiaoxiao would definitely agree.
…
Meanwhile, in a condominium.
A group of men were sitting together. The amount of liquor being consumed was off-the-charts, especially because they had trained together in the special forces.
“There’s no more beer. Who’s buying next?” someone called out.
“I’m not going anymore. I already did so twice.”
“Same here.”
Some of the men were already a little drunk. They staggered and threw themselves onto the sofa.
Jun Zeye looked at them and walked over. “I’ll go get the beer.”
Ning Ruyan walked up. Lifting up the empty bottle in his hand, he threw it into the trash can.
He smiled and looked at Jun Zeye. “I’ll accompany you.”
“Young Master Ning, we’ve finished the meat too. Call for delivery to order some more.”
“I want to eat crayfish too.”
“I want some pizza.”
They didn’t hold back as they started to order food one by one.
Ning Ruyan glared at them. “Do you not have hands? Call for delivery yourselves!”
“So, Young Master Ning, who’s going to pay? You’re the richest one here, so you can’t let us poor people pay.”
“That’s right, we’re really, really poor.”
Ning Ruyan shook his head helplessly. Walking over to his coat, he took out his wallet and threw it to them. “Settle it yourselves!”
“Long live Young Master Ning!”
Ning Ruyan walked over and looped his arm around Jun Zeye’s shoulder and the two of them walked down the stairs together.
The area was luxurious and there was a large supermarket in front of them.
Just as they were almost at the door of the supermarket, they pa.s.sed by a cake shop.
Jun Zeye halted in his steps suddenly and stared at the cakes through the gla.s.s.
Ning Ruyan retraced his steps and followed his gaze. He saw a strawberry cake that looked like it would appeal to girls.
He teased, “If those guys knew that you liked to eat strawberry cake, their illusion of you would probably be shattered. They think of you as their idol.”
Jun Zeye continued to stare at the cake.
Ning Ruyan said, “Just buy it if you want to eat it. You can always finish it here before going back.”
“No, I just want to look at it,” Jun Zeye said mildly.
Ning Ruyan looked at him curiously. “You just want to look at it? Why are you looking at a cake?”
Jun Zeye said, “I just suddenly remembered that my birthday is almost here.”
“Your birthday is almost here? When is it?” Ning Ruyan was a little surprised, for even though he had known Jun Zeye for such a long time, this was the first time that he had heard him talk about his birthday.
Jun Zeye looked at the strawberry cake through the gla.s.s window. In a low voice, he said, “The 20th of December.”
