"Fondant decoration is not tasty." Chi Juntao pulled out the swan accessories, wiped off the cream on the belly of the goose with a paper towel, and put it in Mu Xu's palm, "You can put it in your office, on that pen holder."

"Thinking so carefully, you have premeditated?" Mu Xu lowered his head, playing with fondant white swan with great interest.Chi Juntao's aesthetics are outstanding. The swan's slender neck bends in an "S" shape. Its body is thin, its feathers are fluffy, and its texture is distinct. Even Mu Xu, who is picky, has to praise his exquisiteness.

"Your pink rabbit is a bit lonely." Chi Juntao said, he quietly approached Mu Xu, rubbing his cheek against Mu Xu's shoulder, "Isn't it pretty?"

"How did you find it?" Mu Xu asked.

"I bought this separately from the cake." Chi Juntao said, "I found a shop that specializes in fondant, and there was a big swan in the window." He stretched out his hand to gesture, about the size of two fists, " I asked the master if he could make a small one for me."

"He said I didn't have an appointment, so he wouldn't do it for me." Chi Juntao said, his chin resting on Mu Xu's shoulder, his tone lowered, with a pitiful look, "I said let me tell you a story, he asked me to go out Don't delay his business."

Mu Xu smiled sullenly and asked, "And then?"

"Then I gave him 3000 yuan." Chi Juntao said, "He figured it out for me in three hours."

"It's nice to have money." Chi Juntao said, "Will President Mu be reimbursed?"

"No report." Mu Xu said, "I didn't buy what you gave me."

"If you don't report it, you won't report it." Chi Juntao stood up straight, holding the spatula in his left hand and pointing at the kitchen, "Go clean the pot."

Mu Xu carefully put the swan decoration back on top of the cake, rolled up his sleeves and stepped into the kitchen.He stood by the sink and picked up the sponge, squeezed two pumps of dish soap, added water to make a foam, and wiped the oil off the edge of the pan.

Chi Juntao picked up the plate containing fried pork and said, "The rice soup is in the rice cooker, and I added sweet potato cubes to the rice soup."

"So down-to-earth." Mu Xu said, "I'm doing it myself."

Holding the rice soup and walking to the dining table, Mu Xu found that there were not only fried pork and tomato scrambled eggs on the table, but also salted duck eggs cut in half, a plate of scallion pancakes, and a small cake in the middle of the table.

Chi Juntao opened a bottle of fruit wine and asked, "Have some?"

"How much?" Mu Xu asked.

"Nine Degrees." Chi Juntao said, "Just drink a little, I don't want to be dragged downstairs by you to dance."

"Oh." Mu Xu watched Chi Juntao pour the wine.

"Do you have any plans for the future?" Chi Juntao asked, "Starting a family and starting a business."

"No." Mu Xu said, "Take one step at a time."

"You advised me to make a plan, but you don't have a plan yourself?" Chi Juntao said, "You really set an example, Boss Mu."

Mu Xu pursed the corner of his lower lip, speechless, he picked up a spoon to scoop up a piece of sweet potato, put it in his mouth to chew.

Chi Juntao was keenly aware of Mu Xu's depression, and he said, "Who doesn't take one step at a time and see one step at a time."

"I remember your birthday is in spring." Mu Xu started another topic.

"Yes, April [-]th." Chi Juntao said, "What do you want to give me?"

"No one asks for a gift." Mu Xu said with a smile, "Secret."

"So you plan to give it away?" Chi Juntao said, "I'm satisfied with that."

"Don't be poor, eat quickly." Mu Xu said, "Light a candle after eating."

Chi Juntao raised his wine glass: "Go one, I wish you a happy birthday."

Mu Xu clinked glasses with him, making a crisp "jingle" sound, his warm brows and eyes were full of tenderness, and he said, "It's hard work for you to make such a big table of dishes."

"There's not a big table either." Chi Juntao said shyly. He took a sip of the fruit wine and looked at Mu Xu's side face. His heart seemed to be soaked in honey. When he pinched it, sticky syrup dripped out.

Mu Xu took a sip of the wine, the white peach-flavored sparkling wine was fragrant.He looked at Chi Juntao, he didn't know what to say for the first time, he was slightly embarrassed, he picked up a chopstick and put the fried meat into Chi Juntao's bowl: "Eat." The calm mood was turbulent, Mu Xu twisted Picking up the chopsticks with his fingertips, he looked around and asked, "What kind of car did you drive before?"

"Land Rover." Chi Juntao said.

"Oh." Mu Xu said, "Is it easy to drive?"

"It's not easy to drive, I've always wanted to change it." Chi Juntao said, "The car is too big, I drive it like a contractor."

"What car do you want to change?" Mu Xu asked.

"Porsche, Audi, etc. are all fine." Chi Juntao said, "The car is not the problem, the main problem is the license plate. I have to sell the Land Rover and get another one."

"Indeed." Mu Xu said.

"I'm full." Chi Juntao patted his belly, "How about you?"

"I'm almost done." Mu Xu put down his chopsticks, stood up and stacked the dishes together, carried them into the kitchen, and turned on the faucet to wash the dishes.After tidying up the stove, Mu Xu wiped his hands with a napkin, and stepped out of the kitchen. Chi Juntao had already turned off the overhead light and lit the candles.

The warm candlelight flickered and danced, reflecting Chi Juntao's smiling face. He deliberately took out the fondant swan and put it aside, saying, "Don't melt this stuff, make a wish soon."

Mu Xu sat down at the table, put his elbows on the table, put his hands together, closed his eyes and said, "Just... I wish Juntao a smooth landing."

Chi Juntao froze for a moment, then said shyly, "Thank you."

Mu Xu blew out the candles, Chi Juntao turned on the overhead light, the two looked at each other for a while, Mu Xu raised his glass to break the embarrassment: "Go one?"

"Come." Chi Juntao clinked glasses with him.

The small pink-blue cake was about five inches long and the size of a palm. Mu Xu moved the cake to the coffee table, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the sofa looking for a movie to watch.

"I found that you don't go out to play very much recently." Mu Xu said.

"Busy reviewing." Chi Juntao said, "We'll talk after the exam."

Mu Xu routinely chose an unpopular sci-fi film, and sat on the corner of the sofa to relax and lean against the backrest.Chi Juntao huddled next to Mu Xu, strolling outside all afternoon, really bothering his mind, his head slid down a little bit along the backrest, twisted into an extremely uncomfortable position, with his head resting on Mu Xu's waist, like a big C shape.Mu Xu looked uncomfortable, reached out and took a pillow and put it on his abdomen, and carefully moved Chi Juntao's head to the pillow.

The movie was so exciting that Chi Juntao only remembered the first half. When he woke up, English subtitles were displayed on the screen from bottom to top.He turned around in a daze, and Mu Xu said, "Stop flopping around, go to bed and sleep."

The voice came from directly above Chi Juntao. Chi Juntao opened his eyes, looked at Mu Xu's chin, and asked, "What time is it?"

"12:30." Mu Xu said, "Get up, I'm going to take a shower."

"Ah." Chi Juntao belatedly found himself lying on the pillow in Mu Xu's abdomen. He deliberately rubbed his head in to Mu Xu's chest, and said, "I want to eat fruit."

"Is there any fruit in the refrigerator?" Mu Xu asked.

"There are bananas and dragon fruit." Chi Juntao said, "and yogurt."

"It's late at night, don't eat it." Mu Xu thought it was troublesome.

"I'll make it, do you want to eat it?" Chi Juntao asked.

"...Eat." The lazy President Mu gave in shamefully.

Chi Juntao sat up, stepped on his slippers and walked towards the kitchen. Mu Xu followed behind him and said, "I can help."

"I remember the last time we had hot pot, around this point, you drank too much and ran out." Chi Juntao said, "I was so scared that I didn't even wear my coat."

Mentioning the last time he went drunk, Mu Xu didn't have the slightest memory. He said coyly, "I've never been drunk before. I don't know that my wine taste is so bad."

"Don't get drunk again." Chi Juntao said fearfully. He opened the refrigerator door and took out two bananas, a red dragon fruit and two bags of yogurt. "Peel the skin, and I'll cut it into pieces."

"Have you ever drank too much?" Mu Xu asked.

"No." Chi Juntao said, "Twice I got drunk and caused a lot of trouble. My grandfather was sued and I was imprisoned for half a month."

"What's wrong with you?" Mu Xu asked.

"Probably, put the person's head in the water..." Chi Juntao stopped, he didn't want to leave a rude impression on Mu Xu, "That man talks insanely, I'll help him sober up."

Mu Xu handed the peeled banana to Chi Juntao, and said, "I heard from others that you often help people 'sober up'."

"Helping others is a pleasure." Chi Juntao argues, "I am a warm-hearted and good person." Afraid that Mu Xu would not believe him, Chi Juntao added, "Don't listen to their nonsense, I have always seen injustices, I have always drawn my sword to help, and I only deal with those who bully others second generations."

However, classmate Chi himself is one of the most wealthy playboys in the capital.
