Shen Shizhen

"Sister, happy birthday."

The boy's silhouette was stretched out by the candlelight of the layered cake candles, and his gentle eyes were shining with dots of light. He stared at his elder sister Ji Jie, who was slightly shorter than him, for a long time.

The bright lights in the room were lit by the nanny after Ji Jie blew out the candles—today is Ji Chuan’s sister Ji Jie’s birthday, which is also one of the reasons why Ji Chuan wanted to stay home and have a look.

There were many people in the magnificent reception room, except for a few relatives, most of them were the guests of the birthday star Ji Jie.

Many of them are well-known to Ji Chuan. He stood next to his sister holding the long-lost champagne, and he finally found some sense of reality of going home in the gap between toasting and drinking.

Could it be that just a short year can change a person so much? Did he really only leave for a year? It feels like he has been away for most of his life, as if he had been away for a lifetime...

My sister held a birthday party at home as usual, and invited many friends, including many business partners, and of course, her fiancé.

Ji Chuan saw the man coming from a long distance away. The man has always been very kind to Ji Chuan, ever since he started chasing his sister.

This evening saw many old friends whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and Ji Chuan's crooked eyebrows never calmed down. Although the man and his sister hadn't officially married yet, he changed his words a long time ago: "Brother-in-law."

After hugging her fiancé, Ji Jie exhorted: "Help me take care of Chuanchuan, don't let him drink too much, he's still waiting for me over there."

After finishing speaking, he walked over to a few middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes not far away. Ji Chuan knew them: "It's Mr. Wang of Jincheng Group."

My brother-in-law is a gentleman and considerate noble son, he is definitely in the right family. He grasped Ji Chuan's shoulder familiarly: "Your sister is always busy, a workaholic."

To be honest, when his brother-in-law's hand touched his shoulder, Ji Chuan inexplicably felt a little shy, but it turned out that his brother-in-law often did the same, so Ji Chuan attributed his sensitivity to his changed sexuality.

After clinking glasses, the man saw the champagne sinking into the mouth of the boy with a bright side face in his arms, his eyes flashed a little light: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for more than a month. Why do I suddenly feel that we, Chuan Chuan, seem to have grown up?"

Ji Chuan felt a "thud" in his heart. Although he didn't quite understand what the man meant, the alarm actually sounded, and he grinned as usual: "It's a psychological effect, my height has not changed since the past few years. pass."

Ji Chuan felt that he should be the same as he was before, everything was still the same as before, and he was still the young master who didn't know much about the world, humble and self-sufficient.

There were traces of emotions that Ji Chuan couldn't figure out danced in the man's eyes, and the string in Ji Chuan's heart suddenly tensed, for fear that he would reveal his secrets.

"It's nothing, I just feel that our Chuanchuan is getting more and more temperamental." The man's smile is full of intimacy.

This is probably the fifth year that the two have known each other, and the man suddenly approached Ji Chuan and whispered in Ji Chuan's ear, "Miss me?"

Ji Chuan felt the breath passing by his ear, and felt that his scalp was numb, and the feeling of weirdness in his heart continued to rise. He felt that he might be a little too sensitive to these things after being beaten by Ai Fan. He tried hard to maintain his With a smile, he answered the wrong question: "Brother-in-law has been away on business for more than a month, and my sister has been talking to me every now and then."

That's right, before Ji Chuan came, the boy told him all about his family's recent situation, but the boy only said that his brother-in-law was on a business trip, so he probably couldn't make it to the birthday party.

Ji Chuan wanted to break free from the man's arms a little uncomfortably, he backed away and asked the man, "Didn't you say you couldn't come back? Why did you rush back?"

The man adjusted his dark red tie, and when he smiled, his sword eyebrows were always raised just right, and his well-tailored suit was pleasing to the eye.

"Of course I have to hurry back. It's hard to wait until you come home from vacation. I missed this time and don't know when I will see you next time." The man said, reaching out to take another glass of champagne from the side table for Ji Chuan .

The man's low-pitched jokes echoed in his ears, and after Ji Chuan took the champagne, he began to try hard to recall his state a year ago. In his impression, the relationship between the two of them was indeed very good, but the atmosphere of getting along didn't seem to be like this?

Really... After going out for a while and coming back, the whole person became nervous, Ji Chuan was a little annoyed and poured down the champagne in his hand, and his ecstasy made the man laugh: "What is Chuan Chuan thinking, why is he distracted while chatting with me. "

When Ji Chuan came back to his senses, the empty glass in his hand had already been replaced by the man. He remembered that his drinking capacity was very bad a year ago: "My sister asked you to look at me just now, but now you keep drinking to me." Get the wine."

The man's gaze was fixed on Ji Chuan's face, he folded his arms and said indifferently, "It's just a few glasses of champagne. You're going to be a senior soon. How can you drink so badly?"

In fact, the two Ji Chuan's alcohol capacity is not bad now, it's just to follow Ji Chuan's own tradition a year ago that he has been incapable of drinking. Too big a problem.

It's just that now he has to keep in mind the attributes of a young master who never drank alcohol since he was a child: "It's not like my brother-in-law doesn't know."

The man suddenly approached the boy with a slightly flushed face and joked, "Didn't the college reunion fail to improve your drinking capacity? I forgot that our Chuanchuan is still a young chicken."

Ji Chuan silently confirmed repeatedly in his heart that although it was true that men would joke with him like this, but he...

Fortunately, Ji Jie came back later, which lifted the alarm in Ji Chuan's heart. Being alone with a man made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Ji Chuan couldn't help but read a few words to Ai Fan in his heart. If it wasn't for him, why would he have so many problems? Young master, it turned out that now he actually started to feel uncomfortable because of his brother-in-law, it's really absurd.

Ji Jie walked up to his younger brother and snapped his fingers, and the lights in the living room were all dimmed, leaving only a few rows of candlesticks lit by someone who didn't know when. Before Ji Chuan could react, a microphone was plugged in. The music starts.

Hearing the booing in his ear, Ji Chuan was stunned for a while before he figured it out, probably because everyone used to listen to his sister bragging that he sang beautifully, but now he wanted to see and see.

It's not that Ji Chuan refuses to sing, it's not a big deal just to sing, but what Ji Chuan wants to say is that he doesn't know how to sing the song played now.

But Ji Jie said to him beside him: "This song has been very popular recently, and I think you like it, so I decided to help you choose this song."

This time Ji Chuan was really taken aback. How could he know him well? He is now a "fake".

In his bewilderment, the surroundings gradually quieted down. He didn't expect this quiet and melodious prelude to remind him of something. As soon as the beat was reached, the lyrics came out naturally.

"When you walk into this joyous place

Carry all your dreams and thoughts

different face makeup

No one remembers what you looked like

Three rounds of wine have passed you in the corner

Stubbornly singing bitter songs

Hear him drowned in the noise

you pick up the glass and say to yourself

A cup to the morning sun, a cup to the moonlight

Awaken my yearning and soften the cold window

So you can fly against the wind without looking back

Not afraid of rain in my heart and frost in my eyes

A cup to the hometown, a cup to the distance

Keeping my kindness urges me to grow

So the road from north to south is no longer long

The soul no longer has nowhere to rest

......"

Until Ji Chuan finished singing, he was immersed in disbelief. He heard someone say that this song was only released a few days ago, but in fact he heard this song half a month ago.

If I hadn't met Church who sang this song on the street that day, if I hadn't kept Church that day, then what was waiting for me now would never be the applause.

In the darkness, the young man was like a lighthouse with its own holy light illuminated by candles. He was so lucky that he didn't realize that the man beside him was staring at him for a moment.

The neck protruding from the collar drew an elegant arc, connecting the collarbone filled with rum and the delicate and beautiful cheeks, a little quiet, a little warm, and even a little sexy.

A song made Ji Chuan feel completely at ease, as if he had climbed the most difficult and dangerous peak, his heart was full of the relief of the rest of his life, and even the smile on his face became much more natural.

While dealing with relatives and friends who came with wine glasses with ease, while silently estimating his previous drinking capacity in his heart, he told himself one more drink, and it was time for him to exit.

Ji Chuan's face has nothing to do with the amount of alcohol. Now his whole face is puffy, it's really rosy, very beautiful.

He found his sister Ji Jie, and the two had a last drink, which was a perfect end to his exit.

Ji Jie watched Ji Chuan grow up and knew his drinking capacity like the back of his hand. After a few words of advice, he watched his tall brother return to the inner courtyard and left the waiting room.

There are still several businesses waiting for her here, and other things have little to do with her in theory.

Ji Chuan walked along the corridor he was familiar with, but saw a familiar figure at the end of the hanging stairs leading to the upstairs room.

"Brother-in-law." He readjusted the smile on his face.

The two looked at each other until he walked up the hanging ladder and stood in front of each other.

The man seemed to have drunk a lot too, and Ji Chuan couldn't help joking with his slightly tipsy appearance: "When did brother-in-law hide here? I don't think my sister will be able to finish it for a while."

Hearing this, the man held the corners of his mouth noncommittally, and Ji Chuan stepped over the man and said, "Why is brother-in-law standing here? Why don't you go to my sister's room and wait for her, I'm dizzy now, so don't be ashamed of brother-in-law."

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or some other reason, Ji Chuan felt his head really hurt as he spoke.

The alcohol in the blood seemed to flow into the brain along the meridians, and it became top-heavy. Ji Chuan subconsciously felt that he should do something.

He found his own room all the way in a daze, and when he entered the room, he was trying to confine himself in a safe range, when he was suddenly caught by a man who came behind him at an unknown time.

Ji Chuan couldn't hear what the man came up to and whispered in his ear, the feeling of weightlessness like drowning made him almost unable to support his body.

He only vaguely felt that a pair of hands seemed to be moving around his body, and the shirt that was neatly tucked into his trousers was pulled out bit by bit.
