Chapter 539: s.h.i.+ Yi’s Birthday
Chu Yan looked confused.
He kept feeling like he had forgotten something, but his memory had always been good.
Could they be referring to his previous life?
Would he really remember something one day?
“It’s fate. There’s no hurry.”
Lu Zhou smiled and returned to the kitchen with the bowl.
Chu Yan looked down and frowned. He did not speak for a while.
Shangguan Dian took the cutlery from him and smiled. “Go and play. Leave this to me.”
Lu Sheng smiled. “It’s been hard on you and Master!”
“Little girl, you even know how to be polite?”
Shangguan Dian pouted and carried the remaining cutlery into the kitchen.
Lu Sheng wiped the table and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
When she came out, Chu Yan was still standing at his original spot in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking about.
He only regained his senses when his phone rang.
He took out his phone and answered the call. It was from s.h.i.+ Yi, who said that it was his birthday and wanted him and Lu Sheng to go over to play.
After Chu Yan hung up, he asked for Lu Sheng’s opinion.
Lu Sheng glanced at the time. It was almost eight. It was indeed still early, so she nodded in agreement.
The two of them spoke to Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian before leaving.
It was the usual room at Feng Yun KTV.
When the two of them arrived, Pei Yan and the rest were already inside.
Other than familiar faces, there were also a bunch of unfamiliar faces. There was explosive music playing inside. Some people danced in front, while others sat on the sofa and shook their heads with beer bottles. They were playing very happily.
“Sheng Sheng, over here!”
Yu Mingyue stood up and walked over. Then, she pulled Lu Sheng to sit beside her.
“Didn’t Sisi come?”
As the music was too loud, Lu Sheng could only whisper into her ear.
Yu Mingyue shouted, “She’ll come over with Yun Ting later.”
Lu Sheng nodded. She scanned her surroundings and frowned.
Although the room was big, it was closed. Hence, once someone smoked, the smell of smoke would be especially strong.
Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian did not smoke, and neither did Chu Yan. Hence, Lu Sheng rarely smelled smoke.
Moreover, she did not like this smell.
Yu Mingyue pa.s.sed her a bottle of beverage. Lu Sheng received it and thanked her.
On the other side, Chu Yan was holding a cup of beer and congratulating s.h.i.+ Yi.
Lu Sheng also picked up the drink Yu Mingyue gave her and walked towards Chu Yan and s.h.i.+ Yi.
“s.h.i.+ Yi, happy birthday!”
She stood beside Chu Yan and smiled at s.h.i.+ Yi.
“Hey, Junior, this is your fault!” Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and hooted. “You have to show some sincerity to the birthday boy.”
“It’s not appropriate for her to drink while driving. I’ll drink for her.”
After speaking, Chu Yan poured himself another cup.
Pei Yan and s.h.i.+ Yi looked at each other. s.h.i.+ Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled. He scanned the two of them ambiguously and nodded. “Okay.”
“Young Master Chu, your girlfriend?”
A youth with fair skin, yellow hair, and dimples asked Chu Yan with a smile.
Chu Yan glanced at Lu Sheng and nodded.
“I used to think that Young Master Chu didn’t like girls. So, you already have a beautiful girl in your heart?”
The youth with dimples picked up his wine gla.s.s and smiled at Lu Sheng. “I’m Luo Zijia, Young Master Chu’s former cla.s.smate.”
“Lu Sheng.”
Lu Sheng raised her drink and smiled. “Is this beverage alright?”
“Of course!”
Luo Zijia smiled and downed the wine in his cup.
Lu Sheng took a sip of her drink.
s.h.i.+ Yi waved at Yu Mingyue. Yu Mingyue, who was speaking to the others, raised her eyebrows and walked over.
Chu Yan turned his head to look at Lu Sheng. However, under the flickering light, her expression was a little indifferent.
He could tell that Lu Sheng did not like such an occasion.
Of course, he did not like it as well. However, s.h.i.+ Yi was his good friend since he was young. He had to come.
The door opened again and Yun Ting, Fu Sisi, Lu Ran, and Han Leya walked in.
Perhaps because everyone was here, s.h.i.+ Yi got someone to turn off the music.
The others gathered around.
Lu Sheng’s gaze landed on Han Leya, who was also looking at her.
Seeing her look over, she even revealed a gentle smile.
Lu Sheng smiled back at her, feeling gratified.
She did not expect Lu Ran and Leya to be a couple in this lifetime. How great!
Although they were no longer relatives, they could still be friends.
When it was about nine, a waiter pushed a cake in.
The cake had ten layers and was piled higher than a person.
There were only twenty people in the room. Lu Sheng doubted that they could finish it.
The candles had already been lit. When the cake was pushed in, Yu Mingyue started singing the birthday song first.
Lu Sheng and Chu Yan clapped too, but they did not sing.
After the birthday song was over, a group of people even hooted for the two of them to kiss.
Yu Mingyue blushed and quickly kissed s.h.i.+ Yi’s profile.
Everyone immediately exclaimed.
Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled. She thought, ‘Young people still know how to play!’
Pei Yan dipped his hand in some cream and quickly wiped it on s.h.i.+ Yi’s face.
Before s.h.i.+ Yi could react, he had already escaped to the other side with a smile.
s.h.i.+ Yi glared at him and dipped a little too before chasing after him.
Instantly, Pei Yan hid everywhere and the entire room burst into laughter.
“Chu Yan, Chu Yan, save me!”
In the end, Pei Yan was still caught by s.h.i.+ Yi, scaring him so much that he asked Chu Yan for help.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yan only raised his eyebrows and did not intend to save him.
In the end, Pei Yan’s face was also smeared with cream.
s.h.i.+ Yi dipped some cream again and looked at Chu Yan and Lu Sheng maliciously.
Sensing his intention, Lu Sheng hid behind Chu Yan.
s.h.i.+ Yi looked at Chu Yan’s expressionless face. His outstretched hand hesitated for a moment before he changed his target and wiped it on Yun Ting’s face.
Yun Ting’s face darkened immediately. He quickly sc.r.a.ped the cream off his face and wiped it frantically.
s.h.i.+ Yi, who was being restrained, howled. Everyone laughed heartily at the side.
“Alright, don’t waste the cake.”
When Yu Mingyue spoke, Fu Sisi hurried forward with a smile to stop Yun Ting. Only then was s.h.i.+ Yi rescued.
Yu Mingyue wiped the cream off his face with a tissue before letting him cut the cake for everyone to eat.
“You didn’t call Qi Jing over?”
Seeing that Qi Jing was not around, Chu Yan hurriedly asked s.h.i.+ Yi.
“Oh, he had some matters to attend to at home, so he didn’t come.”
Chu Yan nodded. He lowered his head to look at the time and realized that it was almost ten.
The others went to play again. Some played scissors-paper-stone while others played with dice. Whoever lost drank.
“I drank today. Remember to wait for me!”
Pei Yan looked at Chu Yan and Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. Chu Yan did not react.
“Sheng Sheng, this is the Leya we told you about.”
“h.e.l.lo, my name is Han Leya!” Han Leya was the first to smile and extend her hand.
Lu Sheng also reached out to shake her hand and smiled. “Lu Sheng.”
“I took a week off. I heard from Mingyue and Sisi that they made a new friend.”
After Han Leya retracted her hand, she smiled at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng smiled. “I’ve always heard them mention you too. I’m finally lucky enough to see you in person today.”
“In the future, call me Leya. I’ll be like them and call you Sheng Sheng,” Han Leya suggested.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Okay!”
Her gaze landed on Han Leya and she looked relieved.
At eleven, Pei Yan was drunk.
His legs were weak and he could not walk at all.
Lu Sheng and Chu Yan were very helpless. They could only tell s.h.i.+ Yi and the rest before leaving with Pei Yan.
Chu Yan carried him into the elevator. When he smelled the strong smell of alcohol, his expression was very ugly.
“You’re still drinking so hard even though you can’t drink. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll die from drinking?”
“I… can still drink…”
Pei Yan mumbled and slept on Chu Yan’s back.
Lu Sheng looked at Chu Yan. Her heart ached but she found it funny at the same time.
When s.h.i.+ Yi was drunk in Xuan Yue Country, Yun Ting usually carried him.
Now that there was Pei Yan, it was Chu Yan’s turn to suffer.
“Is… Young Master Pei alright?”
Manager Zhang stood at the entrance of the elevator with a plate of fruits. When he saw Chu Yan carrying someone out, he hurriedly asked worriedly.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “He’s fine. He’s just drunk.”
“Then… Hurry up and send him back.”
Manager Zhang hurried to the side and made way for them.
Lu Sheng drove the car and sent Pei Yan back to the Pei family with Chu Yan.
When Yao Bingxin saw her drunk son, she became anxious and angry. She felt guilty towards Chu Yan and Lu Sheng.
“I’ve troubled you too much. If this kid drinks again, ignore him and let him fend for himself.”
Lu Sheng chuckled. “We can’t do that.”
Yao Bingxin sighed helplessly and thanked and apologized before sending the duo out the door.
After returning to the car, Lu Sheng fastened her seat belt and asked Chu Yan, “Are you returning to the Lu family with me or back to the Chu family?”
“Back to the Chu family.”
If he went to the Lu family, he would not dream. If he didn’t dream, he would not know what happened between him and Lu Sheng in their previous life.
“Okay.”
Lu Sheng nodded and sent him back to the Chu family.
After Chu Yan alighted, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood at his original spot and looked at Lu Sheng.
“Aren’t you going in?”
Lu Sheng leaned against the window and stared at him with her beautiful eyes.
Chu Yan walked forward and looked at her. “Go back first.”
“Alright.”
Lu Sheng sat up straight and waved at him with a smile before leaving.
Under the light, through the rearview mirror, Lu Sheng could see Chu Yan still watching her.
Her red lips curved upwards and she suddenly felt at ease.
She did not know when Chu Yan would return to being her Chu Sihan, but she would wait until he remembered everything and return to her side.
“Where did you go?”
When Lu Sheng entered, Lu Zhou, who was watching TV on the sofa, suddenly spoke.
Although she did not drink, she still smelled like smoke and wine after staying in the room.
“To attend a friend’s birthday.”
Lu Sheng walked to his side and sat down. Seeing that Shangguan Dian was not around, she hurriedly raised her eyebrows and asked, “Where’s Uncle Shangguan?”
“He’s taking a bath upstairs.”
Lu Zhou frowned and said, “What’s that smell on you? It smells so bad. Go and take a shower.”
Lu Sheng chuckled and hurried upstairs to take a shower.
When she finished showering and went downstairs, she found Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian fighting for the remote control.
Shangguan Dian said, “I want to watch a food program!”
Lu Zhou: “No, I want to watch dramas. Aren’t you tired from watching food programs every day?”
Shangguan Dian said, “Aren’t you tired from watching cats and rats every day?”
Lu Zhou: “What do you know? They’re different every episode.”
Shangguan Dian said, “Every dish on that food program is different too!”
Lu Zhou: “Get lost. Use your phone to watch.”
“I like watching on the big screen!”
“No!”
“Give it to me!”
“Go away!”
…
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Were these two really tens of thousands of years old? Were they not three years old?
“Do you want me to call and get someone to come over tomorrow to install another one?”
She walked downstairs and suggested to the two people who were fighting over it.
“Install another one?” Shangguan Dian frowned. “Where?”
The one in this hall already occupied almost one wall.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Upstairs. In the future, one of you can watch from upstairs and the other can watch from downstairs. That’s good.”
“No way!” Lu Zhou pushed Shangguan Dian away and sat up straight. “If you install one upstairs, none of us can sleep.”
Shangguan Dian watched food programs past midnight sometimes.
“What are you afraid of?” Lu Sheng smiled and said, “You can set up a boundary, or I can send you some Boundary Talismans.”
“Yes!”
Shangguan Dian agreed. “Shenger, get someone to install it tomorrow.”
“Are you crazy?”
Lu Zhou frowned. “There’s only a small living room upstairs. Can there be such a big screen?”
Shangguan Dian said, “Then install a smaller one. You’ll watch from upstairs.”
“Why should I look at the small one?” Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “You should be the one to do so.”
Shangguan Dian’s eyes widened. “I paid for this television!”
Lu Zhou sneered. “I bought this house!”
“I don’t care. Anyway, I want to see the big one.”
“Up to you.”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Two childish ghosts…
“Do you still want to install it?”
“No!”
“Oh?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “You two have quite a tacit understanding, huh?!”
“Give me the remote control!”
Shangguan Dian pounced at Lu Zhou again. Lu Zhou raised a foot and blocked his face.
“Shangguan Dian, don’t go overboard. Do you believe that I’ll get someone to remove this television tomorrow?”
Shangguan Dian pushed his feet to the side and said angrily, “You’ve been watching since eight. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
“Okay, okay, I’ll give it to you.”
Lu Zhou reluctantly threw the remote control to Shangguan Dian.
Lu Sheng poured a cup of milk and sat at the side speechlessly.
Lu Zhou lay on the sofa and held the back of his head. When he heard the sound of food being introduced, he could not help but roll his eyes.
Shangguan Dian leaned against the sofa and watched with relish.
Lu Sheng scanned the two of them and felt that this scene was a bit strange.
However, when she thought about it carefully, she did not feel that anything was amiss.
After all, this was not the first time she had seen such a scene.
“Disciple, go and wash the plate of fruits.”
Lu Zhou looked at Lu Sheng, who was drinking milk, and instructed.
“Shenger, don’t go. If he wants to eat, let him wash himself.”
Shangguan Dian spoke, but his gaze did not leave the television screen.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow at Lu Zhou. “Master, you said that one has to know how to rely on oneself. You go ahead.”
