Chapter 253: Today Is Your Birthday (2)
() Ji Citing reached out and turned off the light above his head, and turned on the small wall lamp on the side of his hand.
The warm lighting illuminates the room, making it look very soft and warm.
Ji Citing slowed down his steps a little, and just walked to the side of the big bed to cover Lin Manrong's quilt, his movements were already very slight, but Lin Manrong still noticed something and slowly opened his eyes.
"Eh, you're back?" Lin Manrong blinked, and when he touched the quilt on his body, he shifted his gaze, sat up from the bed with a rub, and supported his head with one hand, "Oh my God, what time is it?" How did I fall asleep. β
"It's past eleven o'clock."
"What?!"
Lin Manrong instantly seemed to be excited, reflexively lifted the quilt on his body, and quickly stood up in slippers.
Ji Citing was a little blindsided by Lin Manrong's series of excited behaviors, and he didn't know what Lin Manrong was doing, After pondering for a while, Ji Citing's face unconsciously became a little more serious.
"Xiaoman, I'm talking about eleven o'clock in the evening, not in the morning."
Lin Manrong's footsteps stopped, and he stared at Ji Citing for several seconds with a look that seemed to care for the mentally retarded.
After eleven o'clock in the evening?
Of course she knew it was night!
She is not blind, the room with only the warm light turned on is not very bright, not to mention, the outside of the balcony is also pitch black.
Could it be that Ji Citing still treats her as blind?
Lin Manrong exhaled heavily, and patiently explained: "Of course I know that this is night, but isn't it your birthday today?" Half an hour left is another day. β
Hearing Lin Manrong's words, Ji Citing's expressionless face couldn't help but be a little surprised.
If Yi Anqi hadn't mentioned his birthday in front of him today, he wouldn't have remembered it at all, how did Lin Manrong know?
The idea just now floated through Ji Citing's brain for a few seconds, and Ji Citing suddenly raised the corners of his lips, walked in the direction of Lin Manrong with slender steps, and propped up Lin Manrong with one hand directly on the wall, encircling Lin Manrong.
"Since you know it's my birthday today, what about the gift?"
Lin Manrong blinked, and was about to talk about the gift, but he smelled a faint smell of medicine emanating from Ji Citing's body.
"How can I smell a faint smell of medicine on you?" Lin Manrong frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Ji Citing and continued to ask, "Isn't it, the wound on your abdomen has cracked?" β
"Don't think that saying these things will distract me." Ji Citing squinted his eyes slightly, and directly took the words that Lin Manrong just said as air, and the whole person moved closer to Lin Manrong again, "If you don't have a gift, you can do it yourself." β
Lin Manrong swallowed his saliva, and the whole person couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
This afternoon, she subconsciously thought that a cold and dignified president like Ji Ci couldn't be interested in things like birthdays.
Outcome......
The reality is simply a naked slap in the face!
"Birthday present......
Lin Manrong slowly spit out five words from his mouth, turned his head around, looked left and right, and his inner emotions were so complicated.
Ji Citing put one hand in his pocket, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, "Why, Mrs. Ji, should you tell me that you remember my birthday, but you accidentally put my birthday."
Forgot the gift, right? I don't want to hear such insincere words. β
Lin Manrong gasped, she was really not sure, if she directly told Ji Citing, she had made him a cake with her own hands, would Ji Citing be annoyed and feel that she was not sincere.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Manrong bit his lip and said solemnly: "Of course there will be gifts!" β
"Huh?"
"Come here."
Lin Manrong half-squatted down and walked in the direction where Ji Citing had just reached out to stop her, and when he walked to the table, Lin Manrong's footsteps stopped.
"The cake I made for you myself, this is finally sincere, right?" Lin Manrong clasped his hands together, and under his seemingly excited face, there was a nervous heart hidden in his body.
God knows if this dignified President Ji can look at this cake, after all, Ji Citing has never seen anything?
Ji Citing stared at the cake on the table expressionlessly, and under the warm light, although he couldn't see it very clearly, Ji Citing could still see that this was definitely what he had seen...... The ugliest cake!
Anyway, he really couldn't tell what kind of patterns were drawn on the cake.
Lin Manrong followed Ji Citing's line of sight and couldn't help coughing lightly, "This is the first time I've made my own cake, I've tried five or six times, and this is already the best cake I've made." β
"Did you try five or six times?" Ji Citing retracted his gaze and asked rhetorically.
Lin Manrong nodded, otherwise?
Since she was a child, she has never done this kind of work when she lived abroad.
Ji Citing stared at Lin Manrong for a long time, and unconsciously thought of what Yi Anqi said in the hospital, and for the first time in his heart, his mood became complicated because of a person.
Lin Manrong saw that Ji Citing didn't say anything, just stared at himself, and he didn't know what Ji Citing was thinking.
"Don't you like this cake?" Lin Manrong frowned slightly, "This is the most unique in the world, well, although ...... Maybe it's a little ugly......"
"Yes, you're a little self-aware." Ji Citing had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and deliberately spoke.
"You ......"
"However, it's the first time I've done this, and I'm barely okay."
It's been so long, and I finally heard a compliment.
Lin Manrong's originally unhappy mood suddenly seemed to float, you must know that a person like Ji Citing who is arrogant and picky, if he wants to be praised by him, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Lin Manrong showed a shallow smile on his face, looked up at the clock on the wall, and when he saw that there were only ten minutes left until twelve o'clock, Lin Manrong's eyes widened, and he hurriedly walked to the table and took the candles and lighters that had been prepared before.
Ji Citing frowned slightly, "What are you doing?" β
"Light a candle!" Lin Manrong opened his mouth without raising his head.
Lin Manrong inserted the candles on the cake one by one, and with the sound of the lighter' 'click' and 'click', the cake had already begun to flash with fire.
After everything was ready, Lin Manrong picked up the cake in his hand, got up and stood in front of Ji Citing, and said with excitement, "Ji Citing, happy birthday!" β
Lin Manrong held the cake and tilted his head slightly to the side, "The time has not yet reached ten."
Two o'clock, hurry up and make a wish! β
"Make a wish?"
Ji Citing stared at the cake in Lin Manrong's hand, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Make a wish or something, Ji Citing doesn't understand it at all.
Lin Manrong nodded heavily, seeing that Ji Citing was still stunned for a long time, and the serious look on his face when he was working in the past was simply like the two of them, so he simply turned around and put the cake in his hand on the table.
"You'd better sit down first."
Lin slowly pulled Ji Citing to the chair and sat down opposite Ji Citing.
"You close your eyes first, and then if you have any wishes that you want to fulfill, you can say them in your heart." Lin Manrong chuckled lightly and continued to speak.
Ji Citing frowned, and spit out two words from his mouth with disdain, "Childish." β
Lin Manrong propped his chin with both hands, and suddenly felt a row of black ellipses floating over his head......
Aren't all birthdays celebrated like this?
Why did he become naΓ―ve when he arrived at Ji Citing?
"What I want to accomplish, I can naturally do it myself, I don't need to use this way at all, as long as children will choose to believe in such a thing as making a wish."
οΌ οΌ οΌ
As soon as the words came out, Lin Manrong was completely dumbfounded, just judging from the tone of Ji Citing's speech, Lin Manrong could already clearly know how much Ji Citing despised and despised this kind of thing in his heart.
Look at Ji Citing's arrogant face when he said this, it looks like he lacks childhood fun.
Lin Manrong exhaled lightly, this is really too difficult!
Lin Mianrong picked up the mobile phone on the table, and after seeing that there were only a few minutes left before twelve o'clock, he didn't have time to explain so much to Ji Citing.
"It's just a birthday, you hurry up and close your eyes first! It's almost twelve o'clock, and after twelve o'clock it's not your birthday, and it's useless for you to make promises then! Lin Manrong hurriedly urged, and his tone was anxious.
"Hurry up! You can't let the cake I made for you don't work at all! β
Lin Manrong said a lot, and his tone of voice was very hurried.
Ji Citing glanced at the cake on the table, and saw Lin Manrong's happy appearance, he really didn't want to live up to Lin Manrong's kindness, so he had to do as Lin Manrong just said.
Squinting slightly, his hands clenched.
Ji Citing felt uncomfortable, and as soon as he closed his eyes, Lin Manrong's face had begun to appear unconsciously in his mind.
It was the first time Lin Manrong had seen Ji Citing so obedient, and now that he looked like this, Lin Manrong was really the first time he had seen him.
Lin Manrong hurriedly took out the mobile phone, turned on the camera, and clicked his fingers on the mobile phone screen several times very quickly while Ji Citing hadn't opened his eyes yet.
Just when Lin Manrong was about to take back the mobile phone, Ji Citing had already opened his eyes, and when he saw Lin Manrong holding the mobile phone to himself, he instantly understood what Lin Manrong had just done.
"Give me my phone."
Ji Citing stretched out his hand in front of Lin Manrong, and his words were very concise and crisp.
Lin Manrong got up and stood up, and quickly put the phone behind him.
It was not easy for her to see the other side of Ji Citing, and she just happened to take pictures with her mobile phone, how could she casually give her mobile phone to Ji Citing.
