Diamond Jubilee

"Sir, what number do you want on your birthday cake?"

Yan Xuzhi came to pick up the reserved cake, he thought for a while and said, "No numbers, just put a colored candle for me."

The clerk nodded, and then packed the cake.This cake was custom-made according to Yan Xuzhi's request, and the pattern molded with cream was exactly the same as the one on the picture.

Yan Xuzhi went home with the cake.

Today is Liang Liye's birthday.

It has been two weeks since the last quarrel.

Liang Liye didn't take the initiative to ask for peace as before, and several times he didn't know that Liang Liye was not there when he returned home from get off work.

Zhao Feng left, and now the pressure of the entire news department was concentrated on Liang Liye. For several days, he stayed up all night until three or four o'clock in order to catch up with the news. When he returned home, Yan Xuzhi had already fallen asleep.

With the chill outside, Liang Liye didn't dare to get close. He didn't go in when he reached the door of the bedroom. After staying there for a few minutes, he walked back to the living room silently.

On his birthday, Yan Xuzhi was afraid that he would not come back, so he specially sent a message to remind him.Liang Liye worked around the clock all day. He drove out to do interviews in the morning and came back to edit in the afternoon. He didn't have time to look at his phone at all.Liao Li had been working overtime for two whole weeks. She really had something to do this afternoon, so after talking to Liang Liye, she got off work on time.

At seven or eight o'clock, the colleagues in the office left one after another, the lights went out one by one, and Liang Liye was left alone in the huge room.On the bridge of his nose are glasses that he doesn't often wear, leaning on his chin, looking at the edited film.

Yan Xuzhi called him twice, but the third time, he still didn't answer.Yan Xuzhi put down his phone, stared at the cake on the table, and when the clock on the wall was about to reach twelve o'clock, he picked up a candle and plugged it in, and lit the fire.

Yan Xuzhi said softly, "Liang Liye, happy birthday."

It was almost time for Liang Liye to come out of the stage. He sat in the car and only thought of taking out his phone to take a look.

He froze at just one glance, and the lit screen showed several missed calls, all from Yan Xuzhi, and several messages.

"Are you coming back today? I bought you a birthday cake."

"I cooked the dishes and waited for you to come back for dinner."

"Are you still angry with me? Liang Liye, I'm sorry, but I just don't want to be separated from you."

"Liang Liye, are you busy? If so, can I come to Taiwan to see you? I'll bring the cake with me."

"Liang Liye, I'm sorry."

He took a deep breath, the cold air he inhaled squeezed into his lungs, and it hurt like it was about to explode.

The road at one o'clock in the morning is a desolate island.Withered leaves were piled on the ground, and the street lights were not shining brightly. Liang Liye was driving faster than ever. While waiting for the red light, he anxiously counted the seconds.

The 10-minute journey was shortened to 10 minutes, and when they got downstairs, the car stopped crookedly within the frame line, and Liang Liye had no time to take care of it.

As the elevator went up from floor to floor, the string in Liang Liye's heart became tighter and tighter.

When he reached the floor, Liang Liye raised his foot and stepped out. He was rarely so afraid of going home.

He didn't dare to imagine the picture of Yan Xuzhi sending out messages one after another, making calls one after another but no one answered, waiting for him to come back.

Yan Xuzhi should apologize to him, he should say sorry to Yan Xuzhi.

It was he who was angry and wanted to convince Yan Xuzhi to give in and agreed to go for treatment.

It was because he deliberately delayed going home so late, because he didn't know how to face Yan Xuzhi.

Liang Liye was thinking in a daze, he had already reached the door.Holding the handle of the door with his hand, he dared not open it, but the door was pulled open from the inside.

Liang Liye froze, staring dully at the person in front of him.

Yan Xuzhi opened the door, his hat covered most of his face, he looked up at Liang Liye.

The sensor lights in the corridor outside went out with a moment of silence, and the dense darkness seemed to soak in the lake around them.

Liang Liye was breathing heavily.With a face full of hesitation, he grabbed Yan Xuzhi's hand, and with a lot of strength, he took a step forward, his voice hoarse, and whispered: "Where are you going?"

Before Yan Xuzhi could speak, Liang Liye kicked the door open with his foot, and with a "bang", the door panel fell on the wall, and the loud noise made people tremble.Liang Liye locked Yan Xuzhi in the corner, lowered his head, looked at him closely, and asked, "Xu Zhi, are you leaving me again?"

Alpha's breath overwhelmingly rushed towards Yan Xuzhi, Yan Xuzhi's back was pressed against the wall, and the chill spread from the back of his neck.It was Omega's natural weakness to alpha, he was so suppressed by this breath that he couldn't speak.Yan Xuzhi lowered his head and heard himself gasping in embarrassment, the air in his lungs was drained, he felt pain, his whole body was in pain.

Liang Liye couldn't calm down, panic and anxiety occupied his whole nerves.He stared at Yan Xuzhi, if the line of sight could turn into a solid body, Yan Xuzhi would have been pierced at this moment.

The alpha who is silent and loses his mind will not know how difficult it is for an Omega who can still stand, stay awake, and talk to him at this moment.

Yan Xuzhi clenched his fists, his nails dug into his palm, leaving deep and shallow pain.He raised his head, took a sharp breath, and the air penetrated into his lungs. Enduring the discomfort, he said to Liang Liye, "I don't want to leave."

"Then why did you leave? If I hadn't bumped into you, you...you would have disappeared."

Yan Xuzhi sighed, he opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, a puff of air was pushed up his trachea.He froze for a moment, and immediately put his head aside and coughed, his shoulders trembled, and it took a while for him to calm down.He completely lost his strength, and when his legs gave way, he fell to his knees on the ground.The knee directly digs into the ground, and you can tell how painful it is just by hearing the sound.

Liang Liye was shocked, and immediately hugged Yan Xuzhi, his lips were trembling, and he looked at Yan Xuzhi's pale face in horror.

Yan Xuzhi hugged Liang Liye's waist with both hands, he wanted to make this alpha who was on the verge of collapse feel at ease, even though he himself was in so much pain.

"Liang Liye, I didn't say I was leaving." Yan Xuzhi took a breath, Liang Liye's breath lingered on the tip of his nose, it was as if in the deep sea, almost suffocating breath.He gritted his teeth and continued: "You didn't come back, and you didn't return my message or phone call. I was worried about you and wanted to go out to find you...I didn't want to leave."

The person in his arms spoke intermittently to comfort him, Liang Liye gradually regained his senses, and after calming down, he supported Yan Xuzhi's shoulders and pulled him into his arms little by little.

"I might be crazy," he said.

After a long time, Yan Xuzhi poked Liang Liye's waist, and Liang Liye heard him say, "Do you want to eat cake?"

Liang Liye likes to eat sweets very much. For a while, he was under a lot of work pressure and didn't control his diet. After eating such things as milk tea, fried chicken and cakes, Liang Liye swelled up like a balloon, and he was found to have high cholesterol.When a person reaches middle age, his body index declines. It is no longer like eating and not getting fat when he was a teenager.Later, Yan Xuzhi strictly controlled his diet, no sweets and the like, and even kicked him to the gym, Liang Liye finally recovered his original figure.

For sweets like cake, Yan Xuzhi would only allow him to eat a small piece on his birthday.

Yan Xuzhi said this, and watched Liang Liye's rainy face cut a few dark clouds, and light came out of his eyes.Yan Xuzhi looked at him, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the big dog's eyes, and said, "Let's postpone our birthday by two hours, so it's still your birthday, okay? Li Ye, I want to give you Birthday."

How could it be bad, the big dog wagged its tail, put its head on Yan Xuzhi's face, and kept saying yes.

Yan Xuzhi went to heat up the dishes, while Liang Liye was lying on the table, looking at the cakes in the carton.There were traces of candles on the cake. Yan Xuzhi came out of the kitchen and saw him stand up abruptly. The paws that had just been stretched into the carton were still stained with cream.

Yan Xuzhi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, walked to his side, and tugged at his arm.Liang Liye took advantage of the situation and sat down, Yan Xuzhi leaned his head on his shoulder, a little tired, and said lazily: "The soup is still hot, let's wait."

Liang Liye lowered his eyes, turning his tender eyes around Yan Xuzhi, and he said, "I'm sorry, I've been busy all day today, so I don't have time to look at my phone."

"It's okay, I also have times like this." Yan Xuzhi closed his eyes and said tiredly, "Is the cake delicious?"

"Huh? I didn't eat it."

Yan Xu couldn't help laughing, picked up Liang Liye's hand, pulled it closer to his mouth, and kissed his creamy finger.

"Liang Liye, happy birthday."
