want you to kiss me

When Ji Yuzhou hung up the communicator, a document was quietly lying in his private mailbox.

It's an investigation report about Jiang Xunyu.

Ji Yuzhou clicked on the file and browsed through it line by line, his gaze sank little by little.

Probably because of the special eye color of the father and son, Jiang Xunyu's family has been avoiding the census work and never going to crowded places. In addition, after many years, the information they can get is vague and limited.

Jiang Xunyu's parents died together one night. According to reports from the surrounding people, there were two gunshots in the small dilapidated house at that time.

And that day happened to be Jiang Xunyu's birthday.

Ji Yuzhou couldn't imagine the scene at that time.

It was originally a happy night. The family of three cooked a table full of dishes to celebrate the birthday of the only child in the family. They may have sung a birthday song for him, and put on the not-so-delicate birthday hat that was given to him when they bought a small cake... …

Jiang Xunyu was sent to the orphanage as the only survivor that night, and the only thing left at the scene was a photon gun with no bullets (energy).No one knows what happened to that dilapidated hut.

No wonder kids are so afraid of guns.

Ji Yuzhou regretted his haste. He should investigate Jiang Xunyu's childhood experience in advance.

On November 11rd, Ji Yuzhou repeatedly read the date written on the document, only to suddenly realize that November 23rd is today.

Really, a rare coincidence.

Ji Yuzhou closed the file, habitually wanted to drag it into the file recycle bin, his fingers paused for a moment, and finally created a new private folder under all the files to put this file about Jiang Xunyu.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Ji Yuzhou got off work early and drove to a cake shop.Hearing that children like to eat these sweet and greasy things, Ji Yuzhou hesitated in front of the glass cabinet, and finally chose the one with the brightest color, strawberry flavor.

Today is Jiang Xunyu's birthday, but he, the guardian, didn't know it at all. He even hit the child's palm two days ago because of something he didn't understand. Ji Yuzhou felt that he should give him some compensation.

The clerk helped Ji Yuzhou dress up with a pink ribbon full of girlish hearts. Ji Yuzhou's cold aura was incompatible with this sweet cake shop, and his tone was unconsciously gentle: "Excuse me, do you have a birthday hat?"

The clerk smiled sweetly, and took out two different flower patterns from the drawer for Ji Yuzhou to choose: "Is it a birthday? A child or a girlfriend? How old is it? Do you need birthday candles from us?"

Ji Yuzhou had never bought this kind of thing before. He didn't know there was such a fancy operation. He hesitated for a while, remembering that Jiang Xunyu seemed to like those colorful things, so he chose the one full of flowers on it.

"Birthday."

"okay."

The clerk skillfully put the birthday hat and candles into the box, and handed some cakes to Ji Yuzhou.

When he walked out of the cake shop, Ji Yuzhou still felt a little unreal. He never thought that one day he would buy such childish and meaningless things.

Forget it, Ji Yuzhou shook his head, as long as the child likes it.

After driving the car to the garage, Ji Yuzhou went upstairs with the cake, and suddenly found that the lights in the house were all off.When there is no one at home, the system will automatically turn on the power saving mode... In other words, Jiang Xunyu is not there?

Today Ji Yuzhou asked for leave for him, Jiang Xunyu didn't go to school at all, logically speaking he should be at home.

Ji Yuzhou put down the cake, and hurried out the door. The sky outside was already dark, the pattering rain hadn't stopped, the sky was covered by dark clouds and there were not even half a star, so where would the child go?

Ji Yuzhou hurried to the garage, intending to drive out to find someone, but when he went around the back of the car, he suddenly saw a small group of figures squatting in the corner.

The garage is connected to the small garden behind the yard, and Jiang Xunyu is squatting there not knowing what he is doing.

Ji Yuzhou's first reaction was to get angry.

He approached Jiang Xunyu silently, and only then did he see clearly what the child was doing: he was squatting on the ground, carefully wiping the rainwater off a kitten, which was the one that Ji Yuzhou had let in.

His tone was gentle and soft. I don't know if he was talking to the cat or talking to himself: "Are you a child without a home too? How did you run in? Is it cold... Don't be afraid, I will accompany you .”

Ji Yuzhou stopped, just behind Jiang Xunyu two or three meters away. The rain completely covered his footsteps, and Jiang Xunyu didn't notice that there was another person behind him.

The cat was very obedient, probably knowing that Jiang Xunyu was helping it, and looked at Jiang Xunyu with wide eyes the whole time, letting Jiang Xunyu walk back and forth on him with the blanket.

Jiang Xunyu patted its small head: "It's so good... For the sake of being so good, I will secretly tell you a secret. Today is my birthday. You are here with me tonight, okay?"

All the anger in Ji Yuzhou's heart dissipated, and the rest was all distressed.He opened his mouth to say something, but felt that his throat was completely blocked, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

Ji Yuzhou stood behind Jiang Xunyu for a while, and finally returned home without saying anything, silently placed the cake on the coffee table, and sat on the sofa next to him, waiting for Jiang Xunyu to come back.

About an hour later, Jiang Xunyu walked into the room with a blanket in his arms, and saw Ji Yuzhou sitting on the sofa at a glance.

Ji Yuzhou was looking at his phone while holding a coffee cup.

"came back?"

There was a strange flash in Jiang Xunyu's eyes, and he walked up to Ji Yuzhou: "Mr. Ji, why did you come back so early today?"

Only then did Ji Yuzhou realize that he had indeed returned much earlier than usual.The child was probably used to him coming back so late, so he took advantage of this moment to go downstairs to tease the cat.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuzhou suddenly felt a little guilty. The child knew his routine, but he didn't know his private life at all, who he met at school and what happened.

He didn't answer Jiang Xunyu's question directly, but just pointed to the cake on the table: "I bought it for you, do you like it?"

It was only then that Jiang Xunyu noticed the colorful box on the table.

Given Ji Yuzhou's status, Jiang Xunyu was not surprised at all that he would know his birthday, but he never thought that he would come back to help him celebrate his birthday in person.

He foolishly repeated Ji Yuzhou's words: "For me?"

Ji Yuzhou frowned slightly: "Don't like it?"

He bought it according to the preferences of the children in his impression, is it really not enough to understand?

"Then you want to eat..." What, I'll take you to buy it.

Before Ji Yuzhou finished his sentence, Jiang Xunyu's eyes lit up.A pair of blue eyes blinked, and the eyes were full of stars.

"Really... is it for me?"

Timidly, longingly, with a little bit of disbelief.

The bright stars flowed, as if they were about to overflow.

Suddenly, Ji Yuzhou's heart hurts a little.
