Celebration of Life

Lu Xun's birthday is in June, a sunny day.

Ye Yao has thought about giving Lu Xun a handmade gift, but it takes time to make the gift, and time alone to make it in secret, before he can take it out and surprise Lu Xun, who doesn't know anything about it.

Spending time wasn't the problem, he was happy to spend time with Lu Xun, it was the space to be alone.

Lu Xun stuck to him so tightly that they were always in the same space at night, and he couldn't make Lu Xun gifts during the day while he was in class.

What should we do then?

Tonight they don't live in the dormitory, but in the rented house outside, the house is quite big, Ye Yao tentatively asked Lu Xun: "You see your birthday is coming soon, or we will temporarily sleep in a separate room, when I make the gift, we will then ......".

Lu Xun had been lying next to him with a cozy face, but when he heard these words, he immediately sat up and resolutely objected, ''How can there be a reason why I can't see you for several nights just to celebrate a birthday? If that's the case, then I'd rather not celebrate this birthday. And don't go to the trouble of making me a present, and spending all that time making presents on me."

The main thing about giving someone a gift is that the other person is happy and likes it, you can't just focus on touching yourself. Ye Yao thought about it, and asked Lu Xun, "So how do you want to spend your birthday, where do you want to go to play? Just tell me, I'll try my best to fulfill you."

Hearing these words, a marvelous smile appeared at the corner of Lu Xun's mouth.

"Play, why not," Lu Xun slowly held Ye Yao's hand, "Let's play at home all day."

Ye Yao: "......"

Ye Yao : "Is that what I think it means."

"What do you mean, I don't understand," Lu Xun said with a straight face, "I just want to stay with Yao Yao!"

Ye Yao : "...... I believed you."

Lu Xun seemed to have made up his mind and didn't want to receive a gift that was made with a lot of effort, so Ye Yao gave up on the idea.

But nonetheless, the gift must be given.

...... Giving something Lu Xun would love, but has never gotten to experience?

For example, the clothes that are worn on him and can't be worn out of the house.

It was also a bold decision for Ye Yao, who agonized over it for two days before finally checking out after adding a certain number of outfits to his cart one day in between classes.

Lu Xun's birthday falls on a weekend, so Ye Yao has two full days to spend with Lu Xun.

Lu Xun didn't really drag Ye Yao outside to the house, close the door behind him, and spend two days with him, day and night. Instead, he took Ye Yao to an amusement park under a cloudless blue sky.

"Do you remember the last time we were here?" Lu Xun asked.

Ye Yao remembers, of course, when he confessed to Lu Xun that he liked men, and Lu Xun began to officially pursue him.

Ye Yao also asked, "Remember, what brought you here all of a sudden?"

"Of course I'm here to fulfill a small wish that I didn't fulfill before." Lu Xun wrapped his arm around Ye Yao's shoulders, and seeing that no one was looking around, Lu Xun quickly kissed Ye Yao on the cheek.

Ye Yao looks at today's birthday boy and gives Lu Xun a kiss on the cheek as well.

Lu Xun squinted his eyes in satisfaction, "The last time I came here with you, I didn't even dare to take your hand, life is just bitter sweet."

Before mentioning it Ye Yao was a bit embarrassed: "...... You used to be so straight that I couldn't believe you'd become curved and thought you were faking it."

"I don't blame us Yao Yao, I blame me for not being able to be curved since I was born." Lu Xun hated himself, "Bent clothes, bent hair, what the--"

Lu Xun's latter words did not come out, Ye Yao covered his mouth.

"Public place," Ye Yao lowered his voice to remind Lu Xun, who was always ready to make a flirty remark, "lots of kids."

Lu Xun deeply realized his mistake and held Ye Yao's hand as he continued on through the amusement park.

The atmosphere in the amusement park is festive, Lu Xun takes Ye Yao for a spin and finally heads for the Ferris wheel.

The Ferris wheel compartment with just the two of them slowly rises into the sky. It's not evening, the sun is bright and invisible, and Ye Yao and Lu Xun are sitting together, looking at the ground that is gradually becoming more and more distant.

Ye Yao knows what Lu Xun did.

The last time they had come to this Ferris wheel, Lu Xun had made an invitation to him for a kiss, but was unceremoniously rejected by him at the time.

The bear couldn't hear that kind of talk, and the bear said he would ask again the next time he came.

The Ferris wheel slowly rises to the top, and Ye Yao is embraced by Lu Xun.

Lu Xun's voice rang in Ye Yao's ears, "Legend has it that couples who kiss when the Ferris wheel spins to its highest point can stay together for the rest of their lives."

"...... is a feudal superstition." Ye Yao said.

"Huh?" Lu Xun glared, took out his cell phone and showed Ye Yao the date, then pointed to himself and coughed, "I'll give Ye another chance to re-answer."

"That statement is a feudal superstition." Ye Yao smiled, "And it's an established fact that we've been together all our lives."

In the bright sunlight, Ye Yao kissed Lu Xun's lips.

From the Ferris wheel, Ye Yao was immediately dragged home by Lu Xun.

"You're not even going to eat?" Ye Yao is shocked, "You're not going to go straight from dawn to dusk and back again, are you?"

Although he was mentally prepared for Lu Xun's birthday, going straight home without even eating was just too much for him!

"What do you think I am, let's eat at home." Lu Xun said.

Ye Yao had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xun's face evoke a smile that had nothing to do with innocence.

"It is inconvenient outside, inside the home we can eat while ......" Lu Xun did not finish his sentence, the corner of his mouth was a meaningful smile.

Ye Yao: "......"

He really didn't want to think in that direction, but the time he spent with Lu Xun changed his mind a lot without his control.

Lu Xun hugged Ye Yao's shoulder and laughed, "You can kiss while eating, what are you thinking? Full of content that underage is not allowed to watch, tsk tsk tsk, I can't imagine ah Ye, you actually like this."

Ye Yao was expressionless, "Okay, so whoever does anything other than kissing during dinner is a puppy."

Lu Xun did not blush or gasp, "Are you calling me? You are truly worthy of being called Yao Yao, a single word that reveals my essence and sees through my true form."

Ye Yao : "...... Good and awesome, no shame."

Not being able to make a move on the birthday boy, he endured.

Returning to the front of the rented house, Ye Yao found a couple of men dressed as chefs waiting with very professional looking lunch boxes in their hands.

Lu Xun opened the door, and the chefs filed in, silky smooth, laying tablecloths and candles on the tables and putting on the beautiful tableware and food.

In addition to this Ye Yao saw a half-finished cake, this one only had a cake mold, the buttercream was individually wrapped in the refrigerator, and it came with a variety of spreading tools.

When a couple of the cooks left, they were the only two left in the room again.

It was a standard candlelight dinner, the candlelight swaying to illuminate the delicate food below and the red wine inside the glasses set on the side.

Ye Yao sat down on a chair, and looking at the set decoration, he suddenly remembered a movie he had once watched with Lu Xun.

It's a double male masterpiece movie Lu Xun watches with him after he learns he's bent in order to make him sick of men straightening him out.

In that movie, the male lead, Noichi, accidentally spills red wine on his shirt and tenderly collapses on top of the other male lead, crying.

And then the two male leads start going from dark to light.

Ye Yao looked at Lu Xun and saw the deep meaning in his eyes.

Ye Yao picked up the glass and took a sip of the red wine, instead of swallowing it, he turned sideways and pulled Lu Xun by the collar of his shirt, pulling Lu Xun closer and kissed Lu Xun on the lips, ferrying that sip of red wine over.

The liquor mingled with his saliva and crossed into Lu Xun's mouth, where he drank every drop before finally scouring Ye Yao's mouth clean.

Lu Xun's eyes half squinted with great satisfaction, "This sip of wine is much more precious and delicious than an eighty-two year old Lafite, this is a priceless treasure!"

The birthday boy immediately made his own wish: "That's how I'm going to drink every sip of wine from now on."

Ye Yao let out a soft laugh, "What nonsense, eat quickly."

Because he had to replenish his strength for the next, Lu Xun couldn't let Ye Yao go into battle hungry either. The meal was quite peaceful, with only some kissing and touching and hugging under Lu Xun's patience, harmonious and loving.

When Ye Yao finished the last bite of meat, Lu Xun, who had been watching him, immediately stood up and opened the refrigerator, taking out the cake and cream.

Ye Yao looked at the half-finished cake and asked, "Is it trying to put the buttercream on itself?"

Lu Xun raised an eyebrow, "That's right, where do other people understand where to spread the cream on a birthday cake to my liking the most."

Ye Yao didn't see the problem in that sentence and walked over to help Lu Xun.

He and Lu Xun spread the buttercream together, put in the candles and made a wish, and then it was time to eat the cake.

The cake is fluffy and the cream is sweet but not too creamy, so it's great as an after-dinner dessert.

Ye Yao ate some of it, then realized that Lu Xun hadn't taken a bite, but was looking at him with a smile.

It was as if he was the real treat compared to the cake.

"...... you don't eat?" Ye Yao asked.

Lu Xun smiled and replied, "Have you eaten yet?"

Ye Yao nodded, then saw Lu Xun take out another serving of cream from the fridge.

Lu Xun came over with the cream, scooped up a bit of it, and dabbed it on the tip of Ye Yao's nose.

The sweet scent of cream wafted into Ye Yao's nostrils, but soon enough, that sweetness was licked away by another.

Lu Xun with a hint of danger in his eyes after savoring the food.

Ye Yao lowered his eyes as he felt another portion of cold, sweet cream being dotted in the center of his lips.

This portion of cream was of course kissed as much as it could be.

Further down, the cream was dotted in the throat nodes.

Ye Yao tilted his head back, feeling the marvelous coolness and fire on his neck.

The buttons on his shirt were held down, and Ye Yao heard Lu Xun, who had raised his head, speak in his ear.

There was a huskiness in Lu Xun's voice, "I'm going to start enjoying my birthday cake too, don't you think?"

Lu Xun is increasingly able to speak directly to his needs, which Ye Yao is happy to see.

Ye Yao wraps his arms around Lu Xun's neck and kisses the corner of Lu Xun's mouth.

"I got you a present, maybe ......" Ye Yao said softly, "It'll go better with the cake you want."

......

The alarm clock was set for zero o'clock, and Ye Yao raised his somewhat limp arms around Lu Xun's neck, offering Lu Xun his first birthday wish of the day.

"Happy Birthday."

"I'll always be there for you on future birthdays, too."
