After twenty minutes’ driving, the scenery was getting more and more bleak, He Bai asked, “Childish Di, don’t you mess with me, what kind of restaurant would be around here?”
“Yeah, there is, full of wild fun I’ll say.” answered Di Qiuhe.
It was getting pitch dark as they drove further, another ten minutes had passed and He Bai thought to himself, the dinner Di Qiuhe was talking about must be a picnic.
With that in mind, He Bai was not high in spirits, and all of a sudden the car stopped, He Bai saw some light ahead.
“Are we here?” He Bai now was intrigued.
Di Qiuhe smiled as an answer, he pushed the button in the car, the car now became a convertible.
Such a nice breeze, He Bai snuggled on his seat and looked up to the sky, twinkle twinkle little stars, so beautiful.
Boom boom boom.
It was fireworks! Right across the lake they were at now!
That certainly drew He Bai’s attention.
What met his eyes was a table decorated with ribbons and flowers, and there were food on it. And all of a sudden, the lake was reflecting the lights shining along it, it was so soothing and beautiful, the lake and the lights added each other’s splendor.
Boom boom boom.
The fireworks again!
And there was food aroma, Di Qiuhe drove slowly to the lights.
“Oh my… …” He Bai was dumbfounded, he had no clue what was going on, he looked at Di Qiuhe and stammered, “Qiuhe, what… what is going on… … is this you…”
The car stopped by the lights, the bodyguards who had been waiting for them came towards them and moved the giant box from the back seat, they put the box on the table and soon they made themselves scarce.
Di Qiuhe got off the car, he opened the car door for He Bai and they kissed sitting on the hood, he looked at He Bai in the eyes and said affectionately, “My dearest puppy, happy birthday to you.”
He Bai’s mouth was wide open, he asked, “Today is my birthday? Today? My birthday?” with that he started to recall yeah, it was June already.
Di Qiuhe found that amusing, his puppy didn’t even know that day was his own birthday. He walked He Bai to the table and asked him to open the giant box.
He Bai looked at this dreamy setting, he was so touched by how considerate his Childish Di was. He untied the ribbon on the box and lifted the lid.
It was a giant fruit cake, the design was quite simple, but the characters “Happy birthday my puppy” were very well written, hmm, He Bai recognized whose handwriting that was.
“It’s not as pretty as the one you once baked for me, I figured I could only make it bigger.” explained Di Qiuhe sheepishly, then he put on some candles while huddled himself to block the wind, “Yay, make a wish now.”
Seeing this giant cake, and the person who he was going to spend the rest of his life with right next to him, He Bai took a deep breath and blew out the candles. Then he hugged Di Qiuhe tightly, “I just made a wish, I want to spend the rest of our lives together.” with that he hugged Di Qiuhe tighter.
Lake, fireworks, cake… …
Wait, those were all the elements that he used to celebrate Di Qiuhe’s birthday, darn Childish Di being a copycat copying all his cool ideas! Sigh, two birthdays, Di Qiuhe had celebrated two birthdays with him.
He Bai’s eyes turned red.
Hearing that, Di Qiuhe laughed, he hugged He Bai tighter as well, “People usually make three wishes at their birthdays, what are the rest two?”
“I only made one.” He Bai shook his head, “I only need this one, that’s enough for me, I don’t want to be a greedy child.” He Bai told himself he could not ask for more now that he had got his Childish Di with him.
Di Qiuhe’s heart was melting hearing what He Bai just said, he stroked puppy’s hair and kissed him on the forehead, “Yeah, one is enough like you said, how about we make that our birthday wishes for the rest of our lives?”
“No.” He Bai bit Di Qiuhe on his shoulder, he was touched but he just wanted to be sassy at the moment, “How greedy you are, talking about being my birthday wishes for the rest of my life.”
Di Qiuhe laughed, he rubbed He Bai on his earlobe, “How about I exchange my birthday wishes with you?”
He Bai beat Di Qiuhe on his chest, but he did not refuse this suggestion.
Seeing that, Di Qiuhe laughed, he hugged He Bai so tight, he wished he could remember how sweet this moment was forever.
Midnight that day.
White and whiter posted “Happy birthday” and a photo was attached.
Seeing the bright smile on He Bai’s face in the photo, Fan Da also smiled, he asked “No one disturbed them, yeah?”
“Don’t worry.” said Hu Zhao, he poured Fan Da some warm tea and replied, “The bodyguards are doing a good job, the kids had a good time.”
“Great, they deserve that.” Fan Da nodded his head, he then put away the iPad, asked Hu Zhao, “How is everything going with Di Bian?”
The smile on Hu Zhao’s face disappeared, “We are ready, anytime.”
