1017  JI YUN'S BIRTHDAY (II)

LUO YAN rested his head on Shen Ji Yun's shoulder, chuckling as he listened to the other. Really, how could such an adorable man exist in this world? He felt again how lucky he was meeting the other and falling in love with him. No, he should say that he was much luckier because Shen Ji Yun fell in love with him.

"I never thought that love could not only make one blind, they could also make them lose their sense of taste," he said in a joking manner.

Shen Ji Yun couldn't respond, because he felt like whatever he was about to say would only prove what Luo Yan just said about him losing his sense of taste. So, he cleverly shut up.

"I promise, next year, I will bake a cake that you can honestly say is good. Without the influence of your love for me, of course," Luo Yan added.

Shen Ji Yun hugged Luo Yan tightly. "Then, I'll look forward to it."

They spent a couple more minutes in that tight hug, basking in each other's warmth. After a while, the two sat down on Shen Ji Yun's bed.

"Are Uncle and Uncle Yue part of this with you?" Shen Ji Yun finally thought of asking.

If so, then he could finally understand Uncle Yue's weird attitude earlier when he went to the kitchen to get water. Luo Yan's cake was probably in the fridge and Uncle Yue didn't want him to accidentally see it, ruining the surprise.

"Yes, I asked for help and they're very willing," Luo Yan said, confirming his guess.

"Then, I should thank them. Because I like this surprise very much," Shen Ji Yun said, tucking a few strands of Luo Yan's hair behind his ear. "But how did you get Uncle Chen and Aunt Xiulan to agree with you staying over here again?"

"Well... let's just say I was very, very convincing."

Luo Yan asked if he could stay over at Shen Ji Yun's place to help with the preparation of the other's surprise birthday party. He had to up his acting game so his uncle and aunt wouldn't think there's anything suspicious. It actually helped that they were just talking about Shen Ji Yun's birthday before he asked for permission. It made his request a bit more convincing.

"I'm glad you're very convincing," Shen Ji Yun said.

Luo Yan reached for Shen Ji Yun's hand and playfully intertwined their fingers. "Brother Ji Yun should have already guessed that there's still other birthday surprises left for you today."

"I did guess that there should be."

"I hope you will love all of them."

"I'm sure I will." Shen Ji Yun then pulled Luo Yan closer to him as he fell back on the bed, making the other fall directly on him as he did. "But can I request an additional surprise for this birthday?"

Shen Ji Yun raised his head as he leaned on Shen Ji Yun's wide chest. "As long as it's within my capability, then yes."

"Can you... can you sleep here with me?" Shen Ji Yun asked, his face had already turned as red as a ripe tomato. "Of course, we're just going to sleep, nothing more! I won't do anything. I promise."

Luo Yan blinked, then smiled flirtatiously. He drew circles on Shen Ji Yun's chest and said, "What if I want Brother Ji Yun to do more?"

Shen Ji Yun's blue eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. Totally looking like he couldn't believe what he just heard.

Luo Yan found the other's reaction very amusing. He was about to laugh when he felt something hard poking at his leg. Realizing what it was, it was now his turn to blush profusely.

Shen Ji Yun also turned even redder. He gently removed Luo Yan on top of him and abruptly stood up. "I- I'll go the bathroom."

Then he dashed out of the room.

Luo Yan blankly watched Shen Ji Yun's back. Didn't the other have his own bathroom in his room? Why did he go outside?

He didn't bother to ponder over that. Because it's quite obvious why. It's probably to give the other more time to calm down.

Luo Yan lay down on the bed, a gleeful laugh escaping his lips. Ah, could there be a more adorable person?

Shen Ji Yun slowly opened his eyes. His brain was still filled with drowsiness. And then, as if hammering him back to wake up, all the things that happened at midnight flashed through his mind.

From Luo Yan appearing with a cake he baked, to them having a moment, and then to that... that...

He sat up, feeling totally awake. He looked around and searched for Luo Yan. But the other was no longer lying on the bed. Luo Yan must have woken up earlier than him. He covered his face, feeling totally embarrassed by what had happened.

He couldn't believe that he wouldn't be able to control himself just from a simple flirtatious comment from Luo Yan. That's why he took a long, cold bath to calm himself down. When he returned to his room, Luo Yan was already asleep. He laid down beside him.

For the first time in a long while, he struggled to fall asleep. And what a struggle it was.

How could he sleep when the person he loved was just lying beside him? It would be more of a surprise if he didn't react at all. Luo Yan was just so soft, and so fragrant, and so...

Shen Ji Yun took a deep breath and released a long sigh before going to the bathroom to wash his face. He needed to really calm down. If he couldn't, then how could he survive the rest of Luo Yan's surprise?

Just as he walked out of the bathroom, someone knocked on his door. He walked over and opened it. Standing there was his uncle, smiling at him.

"Are you ready?" his uncle asked, handing him a blindfold.

Shen Ji Yun blinked. A question mark almost appeared on his face.

Mini-theater:

YanYan feeling something poking at his leg: Is that what I think is it?

JiYun blushing red: Yup. It's definitely what you think. (//>///<//)
