. No need. Iâll get it myself.â
âAre you feeling embarrassed? You didnât have your guard up when we were lying in bed together. Now, youâre getting shy over clothes.â Jiang Yanzhou chuckled. âLu Yang, you always surprise me.â
Lu Yang detected the teasing tone in his voice. âYou go ahead and get it.â
She mused, âI wonât admit it.â
Jiang Yanzhou suddenly leaned in and planted a kiss on her forehead. âIâll be back soon. â
Lu Yangâs face grew warm.
They were lying together, and she only wanted to get a good nightâs sleep. She didnât think too much about it, but clothes, being such intimate objects, easily evoked imaginative thoughts.
Within a few minutes, Jiang Yanzhou came back with her personal clothing and pajamas. Lu Yang didnât meet his gaze and casually thanked him.
Jiang Yanzhou only smiled and remained silent. After he left, he picked up his phone and called Lu Mingyu to let him know he was safe.
âAre you certain that you, this cunning man, are not the one bullying Yangyang?â Lu Mingyu didnât believe him. âYangyang isnât someone who gets upset easily. She wouldnât get angry without a reason.â
âI can assure you sheâs not angry.â
âAll right then. Just remember that Yangyang is still young. Donât cause any trouble.â Lu Mingyu wasnât particularly accepting of Jiang Yanzhou in his heart. They were both men and knew what men were like at their core. They were all scoundrels.
But Lu Yang liked Jiang Yanzhou now. Lu Mingyuâs role was to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt, not to stop her.
âYeah.â Jiang Yanzhou looked towards the closed bathroom door. âI know.â
Lu Yang finished showering, climbed into bed, and Jiang Yanzhou stood by the bedside, waiting for her to fall into a deep sleep before leaving and returning to his own room.
Lu Mingyuâs concert was scheduled for December 30th, Lu Yangâs birthday.
The concert took place at Yonkers City Stadium, covering an area of approximately 21 hectares, with a capacity of 80,000 spectators.
December 30th also marked Lu Mingyuâs sixth anniversary since his debut. Six years ago, he released his debut single âWinterâs Giftâ and entered the entertainment industry.
Six years later, he held a concert and premiered two songs from his new album, âNo Such in the Worldâ and the seemingly childish âThree Sugar Pills for Illness.â
Lu Yang and Jiang Jinshi held their light sticks and wore glow-in-the-dark wristbands in the audience, their smiles radiant. Zhao Yanshu stood by their side, watching over them.
Lu Mingyu and Chen Su were busy preparing for their stage performances. Jiang Yanzhou said he had something to attend to and would join them after the concert introduction.
âSister Yang, donât keep my uncle.â Jiang Jinshi pouted and huffed, âMommy said that the men who appear on birthdays arenât necessarily keepable, but the men who donât appear definitely arenât keepable!â
Lu Yang pinched his cheek. âAll right. Iâll throw him away.â
âThrow him away? Isnât that too pitiful? Should we lock him up and put him in solitary confinement?â Jiang Jinshi thought about Jiang Yanzhou being thrown away like trash and found it a bit dirty. His germophobic uncle definitely couldnât stand filth.
âYou canât arbitrarily restrict someoneâs personal freedom. Itâs illegal, and youâll get caught.â Solitary confinement? It sounded like a punishment.
âOkay!â Jiang Jinshi replied, still somewhat confused.
The concert lasted two hours, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Lu Yang watched from the audience, looking at the shining Lu Mingyu on stage, genuinely happy for him.
âMingyu, you have to follow the light you see,â she thought.
âSister Yang!â Jiang Jinshi grabbed Lu Yangâs arm with excitement. âLook at the stage, whoâs that?!â
As the stage changed, the lighting dimmed and dry ice filled the air, making it difficult to see the situation on stage. Lu Yangâs eyes darted around before finally spotting two tall figures.
Lu Ming and Jiang Yanzhou were enveloped in the stage lights, with the light shining behind them, as if they were glowing.
The dazzling duo.
No one expected Jiang Yanzhou to appear at Lu Mingyuâs concert. The audience went crazy, screaming and cheering. By the end of the concert, their throats were hoarse and tired.
âPinch me! Quick! Tell me if Iâm dreaming!! Why are they appearing at the concert?â
âOh my god, tonight is full of surprises. First, Lu Mingyuâs new album, and now Jiang Yanzhouâs appearance!â
âI know why Iâve been so unlucky this year. It was all leading up to this moment!!!â
Jiang Jinshi was a bit worried. âSister Yang, have you ever heard Uncle sing?â Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then shook her head. âNo.â
âMe neither. Uncle doesnât sing well. Why did he have to embarrass himself in front of so many people? How will I face other kids at school? Uncle is so irresponsible! Sister Yang, letâs not have him anymore. Throw him in the trash! The non-recyclable trash bin!â
The thoughts of children were so divergent; he was truly an entertaining little guy.
Lu Yang ruffled his head and reassured him, âDonât worry, if it were embarrassing, your uncle wouldnât have gone on stage. Maybe heâs just there as a prop, a decorative piece. After all, Jiang Yanzhou has always had a clear role.â Lu Mingyu changed into another outfit. He held the microphone and said,
Because it involved Lu Yang, Lu Mingyu didnât introduce Jiang Yanzhou in detail.
Jiang Yanzhou raised his gaze, scanning through the crowd until he locked eyes with Lu Yang. He spoke softly, reaching the crowd amidst the low hum, âHappy Birthday, my girl.â
Though he knew she couldnât see his eyes from the stage, when a manâs gaze descended upon her, Lu Yangâs heart trembled.
âHereâs to all the years weâve shared, all the fun weâve had.â
I remember all the days counted in years. I remember all the beautiful moments with you.
The background music started, and Lu Mingyuâs familiar voice echoed in the arena. Tonight, he performed songs of various styles, each with its own unique charm.
âYouâre such a blessing. Such a joy in my life.â
Jiang Yanzhou had a distinctive voice, enunciating clearly and rich in emotion. Lu Yang enjoyed listening to him recite poems and books; it gave her a sense of immersion.
Now, even though he didnât possess exceptional singing skills, his singing was unexpectedly pleasant to the ears.
Jiang Jinshi shared his feelings with Lu Yang from time to time. âSister, Uncleâs singing isnât that bad, right?â
Lu Yang confirmed. âThatâs right, he sings pretty well.â
Lu Mingyu and Jiang Yanzhou concluded with a duet, âMay the good Lord bless you, and may all your dreams come true.â
May you find peace, joy, and may your dreams come true.
The music stopped, transitioning to the classic âHappy Birthdayâ song. Lu Mingyu was still on stage, holding the microphone with one hand, looking down at the spot where Lu Yang stood. âDecember 30th holds great significance for me, so I chose this day, six years ago, as my debut anniversary.â
The day you were born was the luckiest day ofmy life.
âHappy sixth anniversary since my debut. â âHappy birthday. â
Yangyang, may you always be happy..
