In a blink of an eye, Gu Yuchen's birthday has arrived.

Xie Yan rarely got up early that day. When he got up, Gu Yuchen was still sleeping.

He tried to get up as gently as possible, but he still woke up Gu Yuchen.

Gu Yuchen reached for his cell phone, looked at the time, and asked Xie Yan, "Why did you get up so early today?"

Xie Yan leaned over and kissed his face, "Please sleep a little longer, I have something to do."

When he saw Gu Yuchen trying to get up, he stretched out his hand to push Gu Yuchen down, and said in a somewhat subtle way: "You continue to sleep and leave me alone!"

Anyone with eyes could tell from this look that he was going to "make trouble."

But at this time, Gu Yuchen didn't need "eyes".

"Okay, you go about your business while I continue to sleep." Gu Yuchen said and went to sleep.

Xie Yan deliberately waited for a while, and after hearing Gu Yuchen's breathing became longer again, he tiptoed to the bathroom to wash up, and when he came out, he went straight to the kitchen.

Gu Yuchen didn't fall back asleep after waking up. He was pretending to be asleep, but he was actually paying attention to Xie Yan's movements.

After knowing that Xie Yan had left the bedroom, he opened his eyes and listened carefully to the sounds outside the bedroom.

The sound of the gas stove igniting soon came in, followed by the sound of frying something...

Gu Yuchen probably knew what Xie Yan was doing, and he didn't seem to be particularly flustered by his voice, so Gu Yuchen followed Xie Yan's wishes and stayed in the bedroom, waiting for Xie Yan to call him out.

About five minutes later, the bedroom door was pushed open a crack, and Xie Yan's furry head poked in.

"Brother, have you gotten up?"

Gu Yuchen pretended to have just gotten up and sat up from the bed.

Xie Yan said: "I cooked noodles for you, you come out to eat quickly."

"Okay." Gu Yuchen responded, got up and walked into the bathroom to wash up.

When he came out, Xie Yan's noodles were cooked and brought to the table. When he saw Gu Yuchen coming out, he gave Gu Yuchen a full of energy smile and said, "A new day starts with a bowl of longevity noodles."

"Brother, happy birthday."

Xie Yan put down the bowl, walked up to Gu Yuchen, stood on tiptoes, and exchanged a kiss with Gu Yuchen.

This made Gu Yuchen couldn't help but think of midnight last night.

Xie Yan was obviously very sleepy, but he kept his eyes open. When the time came to midnight, Xie Yan suddenly threw himself into his arms and said to him, "Happy birthday."

Only then did Gu Yuchen realize that Xie Yan stayed up until midnight to be the first person to say happy birthday to him.

Starting from this midnight, Gu Yuchen felt that his birthday had a different meaning.

"Brother, eat noodles."

Xie Yan's voice recalled Yu Chen's thoughts. He was pulled by Xie Yan to sit on a chair, and a night of clear soup noodles was pushed in front of him.

There is a golden fried poached egg lying on the noodles. Although the noodles are the simplest clear soup noodles, they become very tempting with the garnish of chopped green onions.

Gu Yuchen picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

The noodles are smooth and chewy, and the noodle soup is also very fresh.

He took another bite of the poached egg. The fried egg was cooked at just the right temperature, with the yolk just solidified and the egg white fried to a crispy texture.

Xie Yan propped up his chin and stared at Gu Yuchen eating noodles, his eyes full of expectation, like an apprentice waiting for the master's evaluation.

He can cook some simple food. He used to live alone. In addition to ordering takeout, he would occasionally cook by himself.

But since marrying Gu Yuchen, Gu Yuchen has kept a lid on everything in the kitchen and has not let Xie Yan touch it again.

Xie Yan was also worried that he had not cooked for so long, so he secretly practiced several times a few days ago to ensure that he could perform at his best today.

Gu Yuchen didn't know how much effort Xie Yan had made for this simple bowl of noodles, but as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he didn't care to talk and finished the noodles in one go.

The bottomed bowl is the best answer for Xie Yan.

He smiled so hard that his eyes rolled, "Is it delicious?"

Gu Yuchen nodded, "It's delicious."

He said and started to clear the dishes.

Xie Yan quickly stopped him, "Let me go, you are the biggest today, let me do all these things!"

Although Xie Yan said this, Gu Yuchen knew that Xie Yan hated washing dishes the most, so he did not listen to Xie Yan's words, but put away the dishes and chopsticks himself and walked into the kitchen.

Xie Yan quickly followed.

The kitchen is very small, and it would seem crowded if two grown men were together. Xie Yan seemed to think it was not crowded enough, and deliberately stuck to Gu Yuchen, "You really don't want me to wash?"

Gu Yuchen nodded, "I'll do it."

Xie Yan: "But today is your birthday, how can I have the nerve to let you do these things?"

Although he said this, his hands were clasped behind his back like an uncle, and he had no intention of washing the dishes.

Not only did he not want to wash it himself, he also provoked Gu Yuchen, reaching out to touch Gu Yuchen's face, and pinching Gu Yuchen's waist, doing all the harassing things.

In the end, Gu Yuchen pressed her down on the sink and kissed her until her legs went weak before she calmed down.

***

Gu Yuchen is the person in charge of yc. Even if it is his birthday today, it is also a working day and he has to go to the company to work.

Before meeting Xie Yan, Gu Yuchen could be said to be a model worker, never late for work and never leaving early.

But after marrying Xie Yan, being late seems to have become Mr. Gu's daily routine.

The same is true today.

Xie Yan made trouble for him at home for a long time, and was "tied up" early in the morning, so that when Gu Yuchen went to work, he was a little late.

Xie Yan sent Gu Yuchen to the door of the company.

Before getting out of the car, he pulled Gu Yuchen in front of him very domineeringly, raised his head and kissed Gu Yuchen's lips, "Wait until I contact you, and I will give you a birthday surprise tonight."

"Okay." Gu Yuchen couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of the evening.

Xie Yan kissed Gu Yuchen again before letting Gu Yuchen get out of the car.

After watching Gu Yuchen's back disappear into the yc building, Xie Yan started the car and did not go to the company. Instead, he went to a nearby department store to buy a gift and then went directly to Gu Yujue's baking studio.

Arriving at the baking studio, he handed the gift in his hand to Gu Yujue, "Sister, happy birthday."

Gu Yujue smiled and took the gift handed over by Xie Yan, "Thank you, Xiaoyan. I have prepared all the things you asked for and they are still in their original places."

Xie Yan often came to the baking studio during this time. After changing his clothes, he walked to his workbench with ease and started making cakes seriously.

Gu Yujue was standing not far from Xie Yan. Whenever Xie Yan had any questions, he could find her immediately.

However, she obviously underestimated Xie Yan. After this period of study and practice, Xie Yan had clearly remembered the steps of making cakes and was very proficient in doing it.

It's just that when decorating flowers, I can't do it as easily as an experienced person, but for someone who has only been exposed to Western pastry for less than a month, it is already very good.

Gu Yujue saw love in Xie Yan.

She does not deny that Xie Yan's love is mixed with some thoughts of making cakes for his beloved. But similarly, in this process, Xie Yan fully enjoys it and is not impatient at all, let alone because of it.

Too many mistakes and impatience.

At the beginning, he suffered successive failures, but Xie Yan could still finish it carefully.

Xie Yan himself couldn't see, but Gu Yujue could see clearly. When Xie Yan did this, he always had a smile on his lips and his eyes were serious and focused, as if they were filled with starlight.

Gu Yujue took a few photos with Xie Yan's permission. If Xie Yan hadn't planned to surprise Gu Yuchen, she would have sent these photos to Gu Yuchen.

Let's give it to Gu Yuchen as a birthday gift later.

Gu Yujue thought that Xie Yan's cake was almost done.

She walked over to help check it around and praised: "It's done very well."

Xie Yan laughed, his eyebrows arched, and he was very proud, "That's why I'm so good."

Not humble at all.

Gu Yujue couldn't help but laugh. She didn't think there was anything bad about Xie Yan's appearance, but she found it very cute. It was so cute that she wanted to lick Xie Yan's furry head.

But looking at the hat Xie Yan was wearing, Gu Yujue still held back.

She helped Xie Yan pack the cake. When she left the workroom, Xie Yan took out a toffee from his pocket, tore off the wrapping paper and threw it into his mouth.

Just with the sweet aroma of the baking studio, a toffee also allowed him to taste the delicious food in the world.

Gu Yujue could finally take a handful of Xie Yan's hair at this moment, so he no longer held back, raised his head and touched it, it was soft.

Xie Yan looked at her doubtfully.

Gu Yujue smiled at him and asked, "You like sweets, right?"

"Yes." Xie Yan nodded.

He himself doesn't know when he fell in love with it, but because of sugar and sweets, he can always feel a little sweetness in the bitterness.
