The days in winter are much shorter than in summer. At seven o'clock, the sky has completely dimmed. The street lights on both sides of the street light up. The lights illuminate the whole city, bringing a touch of warmth to this cold night.
.
It was already evening when Chen Fan left Li Ying's villa.
Before leaving, Li Ying drove to a large shopping mall to pick out a suit of clothes for Chen Fan. She changed her outfit from inside to outside, giving her a completely new look. There was no trace of a fierce battle.
After driving a Land Rover across most of the city, Chen Fan returned to the apartment downstairs at eight o'clock.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Chen Fan looked up and saw that the apartment was brightly lit.
For some reason, looking at the "home" with the lights on, the anger that was about to stir in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace. At the same time, there was a trace of guilt that could not be erased in his heart.
Chen Fan is not a sentimental person, nor is he an indecisive person. He did not think deeply, but shook his head gently, took a deep breath, let the cold air circulate in his lungs, and then took a step forward
Steps towards home.
In the apartment, Susan took off her coat and wore a set of cotton cartoon pajamas and a pair of cotton slippers embroidered with cartoon patterns.
At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, holding her mobile phone in her hand, with a disappointed expression on her face.
Contrary to his expression, the entire hall was filled with a romantic and festive atmosphere - there were several colorful ribbons hanging in the hall, a dozen balloons of different colors floating on the roof, and the coffee table and the edge of the bed were filled with red candles.
.
The same is true in the restaurant, with red candles placed everywhere, and a bouquet of flowers, a gift box, and a bottle of red wine on the dining table.
All of this is her afternoon's masterpiece.
"Ding dong!"
Suddenly, the doorbell rang in the quiet hall.
Susan was stunned when she heard the doorbell ringing, with a disappointed expression on her face. She was startled for a moment, then walked to the door with a puzzled look on her face and looked at the video screen.
The next moment, she saw Chen Fan wearing a windbreaker.
Um?
This discovery made Susan's pupils suddenly widen to their maximum size, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes, and more of a surprise!
Almost subconsciously, Susan grabbed the phone and asked aggressively: "You bastard who steps on shit, didn't you bring your key when you went out? Also, what have you been doing these mysterious two days, and why?
Don’t even bring your cell phone?
Downstairs, Chen Fan heard Susan's angrily questioning. While feeling guilty, he lied bravely: "Well, um, dear wife, my keys, mobile phone, and wallet were all stolen by thieves..."
"Stolen by a thief?" Susan was dubious.
"Yes, poor me, but I just walked back from Donghai Armed Police Hospital..." Chen Fan could only act and act to the end.
"That's it." After hearing what Chen Fan said so pitifully, the resentment and disappointment in Susan's heart disappeared immediately, and then she said with a smile: "Idiot, you wait downstairs for ten minutes. I will open the door for you in ten minutes.
."
"Well, honey, it's very cold down there!" Chen Fan protested.
"Only ten minutes." The protest was ineffective, and after saying that, Susan ran away.
Humming a little tune, Susan ran to the kitchen like a cheerful elf, opened the microwave, took out the steak and pastries, placed them on the dining table, and then lifted the plate on the table to reveal the fruit salad inside.
.
After doing all this, Susan checked and found that the steak and pastries were still hot. She smiled immediately, then quickly went to the coffee table in the living room, picked up the lighter, and started to light the candles one by one.
After a few minutes, all the candles in the living room and dining room were lit. Susan smiled with satisfaction, and then turned off the lights in the living room and kitchen.
The next moment, the lights disappeared, and red candlelight illuminated the room, filling the room with a romantic atmosphere.
"Oh!" Looking at everything in front of her, Susan made a victory gesture, then happily ran to the door, picked up the phone, and said: "You idiot, you can come in."
Downstairs, Chen Fan, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly found the corridor door opened after hearing Susan's voice.
Half a minute later, Chen Fan took the elevator to the floor where the apartment was located. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he found Susan wearing cotton pajamas waiting quietly in front of the elevator door.
"Honey, what kind of plane are you planning?" Chen Fan couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw Susan.
Susan said with a smile: "Idiot, don't ask so many questions yet, just do as I say."
"What to do?" Chen Fan looked curious.
"First, close your eyes, and then follow me. Don't open your eyes without my order." Susan ordered.
"Okay." Although he didn't know what Susan was going to do, Chen Fan did not refuse, but honestly closed his eyes.
"Bend over and I'm going to cover your eyes to prevent you from peeping." Susan seemed to think it was not enough and gave the order again.
"Yes, my dear wife." Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He bent down and asked Susan to cover his eyes with her hands as Susan said.
"Okay, idiot, move forward." Susan covered Chen Fan's eyes with a bright smile, filled with happiness.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps...
Then, Chen Fan, who covered his eyes with Susan's hands, walked into the home and walked to the restaurant under Susan's command.
"It smells good." With his eyes covered, Chen Fan's sense of smell was still very sensitive, and he immediately smelled the aroma of steak.
"Xiang, you big-headed ghost!" Susan scolded her angrily, then her tone changed and she said softly: "Okay, idiot, you can sit down and open your eyes."
After saying that, Susan let go of her hands, walked to the opposite side of the dining table, sat down, rested her chin on her hands, and waited for Chen Fan to open his eyes.
While Susan was waiting, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes.
Candlelight.
The room is filled with candlelight.
It's like a sea of red.
Looking at the candlelight symbolizing romance in front of him, Chen Fan's pupils suddenly dilated and he was completely stunned.
"happy birthday to you"
"happy birthday to you"
At the same time, melodious singing sounded in Chen Fan's ears.
"Happy birthday, my dear." As she sang, Susan stood up with a smile, picked up the flowers and a gift box that had been prepared and handed them to Chen Fan.
In the candlelight, Susan had a bright smile on her face, and her charming eyes were full of tenderness.
The flowers are fresh and exude a light fragrance, and the gift box is packaged and looks extremely exquisite.
Happy birthday, my dear...
With Susan's smile reflected in his eyes, Susan's blessings ringing in his ears, Chen Fan looked at the flowers and gifts close at hand, as if he had been electrocuted, and his whole body twitched violently.
Is today my birthday?
It seems so?!
Gradually, gradually, Chen Fan felt that his eyes were a little moist, his vision was a little blurry, and tears could not help but well up in his eyes.
He didn't pick up the flowers or gifts, he just giggled.
Just smiling like that silly, smiling, smiling, tears could not help but slide down his resolute face...
cried.
At this moment, listening to the birthday song and looking at the fiancée and the birthday gift in front of me, the man who became the first dragon tooth in the past thirty years, the man who single-handedly wiped out the bloody purgatory for a promise, the man who was
The man whose reputation as a butcher made the entire underground world tremble cried.
Crying profusely.
Because... in this life, no one has ever celebrated his birthday except the man who died trying to block the bullet for him!
Never!!
Even...including Long Nu, his former brothers of life and death, don't even know when his birthday is.
However... on this cold night.
After killing Miao.
After the disease has fully developed.
Susan, the fiancée who stayed with her for some special reasons, remembered her birthday and prepared everything.
All of this caused Chen Fan's frozen heart to suddenly collapse, like a river bursting its banks, and like a door that had lost its shackles, completely opened!
At this moment, his heart was completely occupied by emotion!!
"Dear, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Chen Fan, who always played the villain in front of her and always tried every means to bully her, she cried abnormally. The smile and tenderness disappeared from Susan's face in an instant, and she immediately put down the flowers.
and gifts, walked up to Chen Fan, squatted down, held Chen Fan's hands that were once stained with blood, and asked nervously and worriedly.
"It's okay...it's okay..." Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, trying to tease like before, but he didn't notice the strong vibrato in his voice: "I had sand in my eye before, it hurt so much... um... it hurt so much...
…”
"Dear, what's wrong with you?" This time, Susan did not believe Chen Fan's lie, but asked while wiping the tears from Chen Fan's face.
Her movements were very light and slow.
"It's really okay." Chen Fan took a deep breath, and then hugged Susan into his arms!
"Um……"
Chen Fan's sudden move made Susan stiffen instinctively, and she struggled subconsciously, but she quickly stopped again.
"Did I not do well enough, or did I do something wrong?" Being embraced by Chen Fan for the first time, Susan felt safer than ever before. She gently pressed her head against Chen Fan's chest and asked softly.
road.
"No... no!" Chen Fan shook his head crazily, smiling and crying, and said: "Silly girl, you didn't do anything wrong! On the contrary, you did a good job, really good..."
"Then why are you crying?" Susan asked softly.
Why are you crying?
Yes, why are you crying?
Is it touching?
Right...
Susan's question rang in his ears. Chen Fan did not answer, but just hugged Susan.
Hug it tightly and hard!
In his hazy vision, he seemed to see the man who died trying to block the bullet for him. He smiled and said to him: "Xiaofan, today is your birthday. We will not go home until we are drunk!"
Perhaps... no one would believe that this man who once made the underground world tremble would, on this cold night, hold a girl who moved him greatly, like a wounded wild wolf, shedding hot tears of a man...
