Meng Ting was held in Yan Sui’s arms, and his whole body felt warm. He stuck his head out and took a closer look out the window, but except for the lights in Xiao’s yard, he could see nothing else.
“What are we doing?”
Yan Sui turned around and moved a chair over. He sat down and Meng Ting sat on his lap. After they sat down, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky outside the window.
Meng Ting looked back, and then couldn’t take his eyes away. One after another, they were extremely beautiful.
“Did you give this to me?”
“Yes, you like flowers, and fireworks can barely be considered flowers.” Yan Sui stared at Meng Ting’s expression, the fireworks outside the window reflected on his face, and in his eyes, that joyful smile appeared, and Yan Sui’s hanging heart relaxed a little.
“Come on, let’s go to the attic and continue watching.”
Meng Ting’s room led directly to a small attic on the top floor. In it were all the gifts people had given to Meng Ting, but at the same time, the baffles around the attic were open and you could see the night view of Beicheng.
In order to give Meng Ting a gift, Yan Sui also did his homework. He pressed a switch in the room, and then the entrance to the attic opened and a small staircase was extended down.
Yan Sui protected Meng Ting and went up to the attic together. At the same time, the fireworks outside the window did not stop. They were not only set off in Xiao’s house, but also in many squares in Beicheng and Haicheng. These fireworks were customized at a high price. In addition to fireworks of different colors, there were also two small animal-shaped fireworks shooting up from time to time.
“Is that a swallow?” Meng Ting looked at it for a long time and finally was sure. He was still nestled in Yan Sui’s arms, and the smile on his face never faded.
“Well,” Yan Sui nodded. He looked around and then pointed, “That’s a dragonfly. Do you recognize it?”
“Ah, the swallow is you and the dragonfly is me?”
“Yes,” Yan Sui said. He nodded, and then the roots of his ears turned slightly red. The models of the swallow and the dragonfly were drawn by Yan Sui himself. After a lot of trial and error, he finally settled on these two.
“It’s so cute,” Meng Ting nodded, then looked back at Yan Sui and said more confidently, “You are even cuter.”
“Yan Sui, I like it so much.”
“Yeah, that’s good,” Yan Sui responded and lowered his head again. He kissed Meng Ting’s hair, and then they didn’t speak. Instead, they watched the fireworks together for nearly an hour. From near to far, they seemed to be in a sea of fireworks.
Downstairs, Mr. Xiao also came out to watch the fireworks for a while. He curled his lips, seeming to be disgusted while sighing, “That boy actually knows how to be romantic.”
Even Xiao Huimin was disliked by Ning Zhou, but after she was disgusted, she also lamented about the relationship between Yan Sui and Meng Ting.
“It’s really fate.”
Neither Meng Ting nor Yan Sui got up early the next day, and Ning Zhou also told people not to disturb them. They slept until eight o’clock before waking up.
Yan Sui woke up earlier. When Meng Ting woke up, he had already come back from washing. Meng Ting went to brush his teeth and wash his face, while Yan Sui made the bed for them.
But before Meng Ting could take off the towel covering his face, he felt a cold feeling on his neck. He put down the towel and looked down. It was a men’s necklace. The pendant looked very familiar to Meng Ting. He had seen similar swallows and dragonflies many times last night.
The black swallow and white dragonfly swayed slightly, as if they were kissing.
Meng Ting looked at it carefully, then stretched out his hand to touch, and then raised his eyes to look at Yan Sui. He didn’t ask why he couldn’t find it yesterday. He leaned against Yan Sui, raised his chin, and gave Yan Sui a wet kiss first.
“Yan Sui, I like you very much. I also like you. I like you very much.”
After the kiss, Meng Ting did not forget to confess his love to Yan Sui. Otherwise, he was afraid that Yan Sui would not understand the joy in his heart.
“Ting Ting, I love you.” Yan Sui kissed Meng Ting’s forehead gently, and then confirmed Meng Ting’s feelings.
The couple came downstairs to have breakfast sweetly. Meng Ting held his chest tightly, but he couldn’t bear to let others see the gift Yan Sui gave him. According to Meng Ting, yesterday’s fireworks gift was for people in two cities, everyone had already seen it, but this gift could not be shared with others. It was given to him by Yan Sui and belonged to him alone.
“What are you carrying? Hiding it like a baby.”
Mr. Xiao was obviously no match for Meng Ting in the argument but he preferred to talk to Meng Ting, and he refused to admit that he could not defeat Meng Ting.
“Yan Sui gave it to me. If I don’t show it to others, you can’t make me do it either.”
Meng Ting cut off all room for negotiation as soon as he opened his mouth. Of course, Meng Ting felt that he was just telling the truth.
“Okay, stop teasing Ting Ting and come have breakfast.” Xiao Huimin brought the longevity noodles to the table and interrupted the grandfather and grandson who were bickering over there again. Of course, Xiao Huimin’s taking sides was quite obvious.
“Yeah, you haven’t eaten yet. Come and eat, grandpa. It won’t be good if you’re hungry.” Meng Ting thought that Mr. Xiao and Xiao Huimin had already eaten, but he didn’t expect that they were still waiting for him and Yan Sui.
“Humph,” Mr. Xiao hummed or um, Meng Ting couldn’t hear clearly. He just thought that Mr. Xiao agreed, and then came over to help him to the dining table. Mr. Xiao’s expression did not change much, but he did not reject Meng Ting helping him either.
“Nuo Nuo, happy birthday, mommy loves you.” Ning Zhou personally brought a bowl of noodles to Meng Ting, then leaned over and kissed Meng Ting’s forehead, and said so gently.
“Thank you, Mom.” Meng Ting couldn’t help but raise his hand and touch his forehead. This was the first time he was kissed by someone other than Yan Sui, and that person was his mother. This feeling was completely different and special, but it definitely couldn’t be said to be annoying.
Yan Sui raised his hand to rub Meng Ting’s hair. Meng Ting sat down to eat the noodles.
“It’s so delicious, thank you, mom!”
“Your dad cooked it for you,” Ning Zhou said happily and glanced at Xiao Huimin, who was slightly embarrassed.
“Thank you, Dad, it’s delicious.” Meng Ting immediately looked at Xiao Huimin after hearing this. He did not hesitate to smile and gave Xiao Huimin a big smile.
“As long as Nuo Nuo likes it,” Xiao Huimin also smiled. He looked at Yan Sui and said, “Yan Sui, eat more.”
“Okay, dad.” Yan Sui also agreed, Xiao Huimin had cooked a large portion. There was enough for everyone, and everyone was full. In the end, Meng Ting ate a lot, and nothing was wasted.
Xiao Huimin’s sense of accomplishment increased sharply, and he said happily, “When Nuo Nuo comes back from now on, I will cook it for you.”
“Okay,” Meng Ting nodded in agreement. Yan Sui would cook noodles for him at home, and when he came to Beicheng, Xiao Huimin would cook noodles for him, which made him very happy just thinking about it.
Meng Ting’s joy was simple, sincere and quite contagious. There was constant laughter in the house these days when he was here. Even Mr. Xiao secretly laughed a few times when others couldn’t see him.
However, Meng Ting and Yan Sui were busy from morning to night on this day. First, there were some ceremonies to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan, then they talked with some elders in the clan, and then friends of Ning Zhou and Xiao Huimin arrived one after another to socialize.
Around two o’clock in the afternoon, Yan Yu, He Yue, Yan Man, Jia Zhen Han, and even Gu Li also arrived. Not only that, Gu Lang, Zhong Ming and the others also arrived one after another as Meng Ting’s friends.
“Boss Yan, you are not kind. I almost fell asleep. You let me watch the fireworks with you for an hour…”
Yan Sui looked like he wanted the whole world to celebrate Meng Ting’s birthday together, but he had to say that the fireworks were really good, especially on winter nights, they felt a bit like the Chinese New Year.
“What nonsense are you talking about? You would have fallen asleep by then, so don’t let it disturb the good things…”
The joking voices kept coming. By the way, Meng Ting also received many gifts and some weird things, especially from Gu Lang, instead of giving a normal gift, he gave Meng Ting some hard-to-find perfume raw materials.
Others didn’t know the goods, but Meng Ting did. His eyes lit up instantly, “Thank you, I like it.”
It was not easy for Meng Ting to show this kind of love after receiving the gift.
Gu Lang originally wanted to laugh, but when he suddenly met Yan Sui’s gaze, he trembled, and then weakly hid in the crowd.
At the coming-of-age ceremony of a big family, the elders would give some special gifts to the younger ones, some would give a start-up fund, some would give some company shares, and so on. But tonight, the many guests who came were still overwhelmed by the little one and seemed to feel the ground shake.
Mr. Xiao personally announced that Meng Ting would get 6% of the shares of Xiao’s enterprise, which was the same as Xiao Zimo. But in addition, Mrs. Ning, whom Meng Ting and Yan Sui met last night, added another bonus. She let Meng Ting inherit all her shares in the Ning family.
This value was even more than the 6% of the shares given by Mr. Xiao. Ning Zhou was not sure whether Mrs. Ning knew something but seeing the smile on her face while holding Meng Ting’s hand, he felt that she just innocently liked Meng Ting.
The banquet lasted until twelve o’clock at night, and the guests began to say goodbye one after another. But compared to the last banquet for Ning Zhou’s birthday, this time it was finally a success.
Yan Sui couldn’t help but drink some wine, but at some point Meng Ting quietly drank some too. He seemed to be conscious, but he couldn’t hide the blush on his cheeks.
“It’s sweet. I just want to have a taste.” Meng Ting argued with Yan Sui in a low voice. Then he became more courageous and continued to ask, “I want to have a taste…”
“Dad, Mom, Ting Ting is drunk. Come on, I’ll take him back upstairs.”
“Go,” Ning Zhou raised her hand, and then Yan Sui carried Meng Ting on his back.
Meng Ting would probably have wanted to make a fuss if he had left by himself, but when Yan Sui carried him on his back, he became obedient and didn’t move much.
“Yan Sui…”
“Yes, I’m here.” Yan Sui responded to Meng Ting’s words as he walked.
“Yan Sui, I love you.”
“I love you too.”
