In the golden cage

At this time a year ago, the weather was similar. The asphalt road was scorched in midsummer, clusters of poinciana trees beside the road were burning vigorously, and the leaves of evergreen trees were also amazingly green. Ji Shaoting was uniquely bright in this season. In the color, came to Li Chen's life.

It is also the same suite, the study room is connected with the bedroom by a wooden sliding door, and the glass door of the balcony is inlaid with a few flower branches growing from the courtyard, and looking away, there is a boundless sky, blue and black mountains looming.

Everything is the same as before, but Ji Shaoting's state of mind is completely different.

At that time, Ji Shaoting could not see the future, but now he not only can, but also has some hope.

So many things can happen in one year, and the plot has too many ups and downs, it feels like a century has passed.He and Li Chen had only known each other for a year, but it seemed that their whole life had passed like this.

In the end, they all returned to the plain truth.

This bed of roses is romantic, but that's all. After being moved, Ji Shaoting started worrying about it.

Of course Li Chen used real flowers, so it was more difficult to deal with. He smiled and asked Li Chen if he would take a rose bath so that it could be recycled, but he saw Li Chen's ears turned red.

Li Chen thought of the bar on Christmas Eve, when Ji Shaoting came up to him with a rose in his mouth, his whole body was so gorgeous that he was not in the world.

Ji Shaoting seemed to have also thought of this paragraph, he was taken aback, and hastily avoided Li Chen's eyes.

The atmosphere that had just calmed down became tense again.Sex is the most untouchable forbidden area for them, and any words that can arouse associations must be handled with care.

Ji Shaoting began to regret why he made such a joke, but fortunately Li Chen quickly changed the subject and said, "As soon as you get off the plane, take a shower first, take a rest in the afternoon, and I'll take you out at night."

"Where are you going?" Ji Shaoting asked casually.

"You'll know when you go."

When Ji Shaoting closed the frosted glass door of the shower room, he suddenly remembered something.The night Li Chen took him to order a ring, he also said "Come out with me" without warning.

But at that time, he ignored Ji Shaoting's question and told him where he was going.At that time, Li Chen didn't quite match the word surprise.

Sitting in Li Chen's passenger seat, Ji Shaoting watched the street lights receding one by one, and there was a graceful blend of light and color in the rearview mirror.

So many things had to happen, and it took him a whole year to study Li Chen's clumsy love at the beginning.That night, he clearly wanted to surprise Ji Shaoting, but he made Ji Shaoting worried all the way.

There are so many contradictions, people are right, but the way is wrong, but the way is wrong, but the attitude is right.Li Chen has always treated Ji Shaoting with respect and respect.

Looking at the candlelit dinner table and the angel cake in the middle of the big red tablecloth, Ji Shaoting thought to himself that he really cherished himself all the time.

The waiter closed the door for them, so there were only the two of them left in the box on the top floor of this five-star hotel.

"I've always wanted to celebrate your birthday with you like this." Li Chen stood behind Ji Shaoting, in this charming atmosphere, hugging was logical, but he finally restrained himself.

Because he didn't want to hurt Ji Shaoting.Ji Shaoting said that when he gets emotional, his strikes will be indifferent.Now his heart is full of emotions and desires. He has been looking forward to this scene for too long, and he is probably more excited than Ji Shaoting at this moment.

So he took a step back and repeatedly told himself not to touch Ji Shaoting.

And he is indeed able to control himself more and more, or every time he loses control, it is actually because of fear, fear of Ji Shaoting leaving, so he rampages like a dying beast.

Ji Shaoting is the cause of the disease, but at the same time it is more effective than any panacea.Once he actually got Ji Shaoting's response, no longer afraid, knowing that he is here, he will be able to come back to life.

If he can still get Ji Shaoting's love, then Li Chen will be free from illness and disaster for the rest of his life.

"Unfortunately, I missed the first day." Li Chen said in a low voice.

The fire in the silver candlestick flickered on and off, and the shadows cast by the two on the wall flickered accordingly.Outside the window is the dark night like ink, and tall buildings rising from the ground are all in a row before my eyes.

The fragrance of freesia spread along the wood, filling the room with a faint floral fragrance.

Candlelight dinner, very old-fashioned four words, Li Chen can't come up with something fresh and refined, he is a person who is half-stuck in the mundane, following the way of the world, expressing his inexpressible love.

Ji Shaoting heard Li Chen say: "Just let it be today, happy birthday Tingting, happy 27 years old."

Ji Shaoting ended a very bad marriage at the age of 26, and then reaped true love at the age of 27.

"Thank you," he said, "I love it."

Every dish is exquisite, the kind where the area of ​​the dish is several times larger than the area of ​​the food.Li Chen and Ji Shaoting sat at both ends of the long table, eating in the dim candlelight.When cutting the cake, Ji Shaoting asked Li Chen if he could cut it to the end with the first cut: "I'm married anyway, it doesn't matter if it goes to the end?"

Li Chen is extremely sensitive to everything that will endanger their relationship, even if it's just these unrealistic statements: "Let's not get to the bottom of it, maybe it will have an impact."

Ji Shaoting stopped the knife one centimeter from the bottom and turned to cut the other side.

Li Chen's cake is not an ordinary cake, it feels different when cut, it is very slippery, and the cut surface is neat.He took Li Chen's bowl and asked him how much he ate: "I remember you don't like too greasy sweets."

"This is different," Li Chen shook his head, "This is your birthday cake."

Ji Shaoting smiled slightly: "Well, then you have to eat all of it."

Of course Li Chen ate all of it, and there was not even a single crumb left. Ji Shaoting handed him a piece of paper and asked him to wipe his mouth. After wiping, Li Chen said, "Take you somewhere".

At this moment, Ji Shaoting knew that Li Chen was going to surprise him, so he didn't ask where he was going, but just smiled and agreed.

I went to the rooftop of the hotel, men and women were soaking in the glowing swimming pool, and melodious tunes were playing from the speakers.

They stood on the terrace, with the breeze blowing, Li Chen asked Ji Shaoting to look up to the sky.

Ji Shaoting raised his face, facing the starry sky that night, wondering if Li Chen came to show him the stars?However, the light pollution in this city is quite serious. Even if you are in a tall building, you can only see a few scattered stars with the naked eye——

Suddenly there was a bang, bang bang, and half the sky turned into daylight.

All the heads turned in one direction, and a female voice shouted: "It's fireworks!"

It's fireworks, one after another, stretching their leaves in mid-air.

Li Chen finally did what he had always wanted to do since the Spring Festival. He leaned over and whispered to Ji Shaoting's ear: "Count how many there are."

Ji Shaoting almost held his breath, and when the grand fireworks ended, he turned his face in surprise, and unconsciously raised his volume: "27!"

"Yes," Li Chen couldn't hold back anymore, he smiled and stroked Ji Shaoting's mole on the eyebrows, "It's twenty—"

"Tingting?"

Li Chen's words were interrupted by a tentative call, and the two turned their heads following the sound, Ji Shaoting's expression changed drastically.

It's Ji Linzhang.

And the second he saw the two of them, his face darkened instantly: "Why are you here together?"
