"What else do you want to play next? I'll go with you."
After the two came out of the haunted house, they rode several different roller coasters. Ye Erlan truly felt Lin Xian's so - called fearlessness. He thought to himself that Lin Xian had matured a lot. He was no longer the one who was so scared when playing in an amusement park like before.
Ye Erlan looked ahead and his eyes lit up. He suddenly said to Lin Xian, "Do you want to go on the carousel?"
"This is something only girls like..." He stopped halfway through his words and thought he was a fool. Saying something like this was like slapping Ye Erlan in the face. No wonder he was still single. "If you want to go, we'll go."
Ye Erlan saw his reaction and couldn't help but want to laugh. If Lin Xian didn't want to go on the carousel, he didn't have to. He wouldn't force him. He was really a clever guy.
Since Lin Xian had agreed, Ye Erlan didn't decline. "Let's go. After this, we'll go on the drop tower and the pendulum ride. Then we can go back."
Lin Xian responded. He felt a bit regretful. Why did they have to go back so soon? Then he suddenly remembered something and took out his phone to send a text message. When he looked up again, he saw that Ye Erlan had walked quite far ahead, so he quickly caught up.
Finally, the two chose two tall horses side by side.
When the carousel started to move, since Lin Xian's horse was in the inner circle, as the music played and the carousel rotated, sometimes he was a bit in front of Ye Erlan, and sometimes Ye Erlan was in front of him. Ye Erlan suddenly had a thought that this was just like their relationship. At first, he was chasing after Lin Xian, but now it was the other way around.
"Yezi."
Lin Xian suddenly called out to him. Before Ye Erlan could react, Lin Xian took a photo of him.
"You guy, the photo won't look good like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his own phone and took several photos of Lin Xian in a row. After taking the photos, he sighed that people were really different. He himself relied on his clothes to look good, but this guy was really good - looking. A random photo of him looked like a photo shoot. It was really difficult to catch an ugly photo of him.
Just as he was thinking about how to take some ugly photos to expose him, his phone rang. It was a call from Xiao Mubai.
"Hello."
"Happy birthday."
"Thank you."
"Are you at home? I'll come pick you up. Let's have a meal together. Let me, the only one who knows your birthday, celebrate it with you."
"Laobai, I'm not at home today. Let's make an appointment next time."
Xiao Mubai's voice on the other end of the phone was obviously a bit down. "Where did you go, you brat? Although you never take your birthday seriously, as your brother, I've always remembered it. I've even bought a cake for you."
"I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Next time I'll invite you, Sister Nian, and Brother Yubai to have a meal together."
"Okay, I know our great designer is busy. I'll put the cake in your fridge. The password hasn't changed, right?"
"No, it's always the same one. There are drinks in the fridge. Help yourself."
The call ended.
Ye Erlan didn't expect Lin Xian to do all this. He really felt sorry. After all, Xiao Mubai had always celebrated his birthday with him in the past. Although he didn't care about his birthday, Xiao Mubai would still buy him a cake and then they would have a meal together.
Now it was impossible for him to just leave Lin Xian. He could just make a set of clothes for that guy when he was free. Xiao Mubai was the kind of person who would be as happy as if he had found a treasure when he saw the clothes.
"So? Is a friend celebrating your birthday?"
Ye Erlan almost blurted out Xiao Mubai's name subconsciously. Then he suddenly remembered that Xiao Mubai didn't like Lin Xian. Maybe there was some conflict between them, so it was better not to go into details. "Yeah, it's Ning Qian. You met her on the day of the opening of the EL physical store."
He had some impression of Ning Qian. Not only because he had met her on the day of the EL opening, but also because she was the CEO of EL. As he was thinking, another thought came to him. He asked vaguely, "How long have you known Ning Qian?"
"For a few years. I met her after I won the second place. If it weren't for her, the development of EL might have been much slower."
"Does she have a boyfriend?"
Hearing Lin Xian ask this, Ye Erlan suddenly looked at him in surprise. This guy... Did he think there was something going on between him and Ning Qian? Although it didn't matter if he misunderstood him, but when it came to Ning Qian, he couldn't just joke around.
"No, she's a crazy fan girl. By the way, the person she likes is someone you know too. Do you know Zhou Chengyun?"
Hearing this, Lin Xian inexplicably felt relieved. He was scared to death. He thought Ning Qian...
"Zhou Chengyun has been quite popular recently. If she likes him, I can introduce them."
The carousel stopped. Ye Erlan didn't say a word. He just smiled faintly, then got off the horse and walked straight in the direction of the drop tower. Speaking of which, Ning Qian had had the contact information of her idol for quite a while. He didn't know if there had been any development between them. But although Ning Qian was a crazy fan, she was also career - oriented, so he didn't have to worry about her delaying the affairs of EL.
When they finished, it was getting late. Only then did Lin Xian realize that he had delayed Ye Erlan's lunch. Since he often ate casually because of filming, he had forgotten the time while playing today. He hoped that Ye Erlan wouldn't mind this. Otherwise, he didn't know what to do.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Ye Erlan smiled. He knew that this guy had just remembered that they hadn't had lunch. "It's okay. We had breakfast too late."
"So what should we do now?"
Lin Xian thought that this would be a good opportunity to invite Ye Erlan out for a meal and have some drinks. Maybe then things would go well. At least he had to figure out this guy's attitude towards him.
Judging from today's situation, things should be developing in a good direction. But he was still a bit worried. He originally thought that Ye Erlan's return to China would be the start of his bad days. Who would have thought that this guy's attitude towards him would be like this.
Ye Erlan completely ignored the expectation in his eyes and said slowly, "Let's go back."
Seeing the light in Lin Xian's eyes gradually fade away, Ye Erlan felt a bit of malicious pleasure. He knew what this guy was thinking. It was nothing more than wanting to have a meal. In fact, he didn't intend to refuse.
After all, he had already refused Xiao Mubai for this guy. If he couldn't have this meal, wouldn't tonight's so - called birthday dinner be spent alone again? Then the happiness during the day would seem like a bubble.
Lin Xian didn't continue to pester him. In fact, he also understood that it was already very satisfying to have such a long and wonderful time together today. As for other things, it was better to take it slowly. Otherwise, Ye Erlan would be disgusted again.
When they got to the car, Ye Erlan returned the sunglasses to Lin Xian. "Thank you for today."
Lin Xian didn't react at first. He thought Ye Erlan was thanking him for the sunglasses. "You should be more careful in the future. If your eyes are not good, don't stay up late drawing designs."
Ye Erlan responded. The two were silent all the way. There wasn't much traffic on the way, and they arrived at the door smoothly. After Ye Erlan opened the door and changed his shoes, he turned around and saw Lin Xian still standing there. He was a bit confused. "Why are you still standing here?"
"Ah, I... I just wanted to watch you go in. Now I'll go back too." Lin Xian thought that Ye Erlan was saying this because he found him annoying and was driving him away. So he turned around and walked towards the next - door house after he finished speaking.
Suddenly, he heard Ye Erlan laughing. "Didn't you want to celebrate my birthday? Are you leaving now?"
He suddenly turned his head. Did this mean... Did Ye Erlan want him to go to his house for dinner? Right. When he asked Ye Erlan about having a meal in the amusement park just now, Ye Erlan didn't refuse. He just said to go home first. Could it be what he thought, going to his house for dinner?
"Remember to change your slippers." Ye Erlan didn't look at him. He left the door open and walked inside.
When he opened the fridge, he saw the cake that Xiao Mubai had bought for him, intact in the freezer. It was actually custom - made from abroad. Since he was used to eating the cakes from that shop, he didn't expect that he would still have the chance to eat them after returning to China. Xiao Mubai had really gone to a lot of trouble.
This guy was really something. He didn't know which girl would be lucky enough to end up with him in the end.
Thinking that he didn't know if Lin Xian's taste had changed over the years, he didn't plan to cook anything too complicated. This guy should still be busy filming recently, so he probably couldn't eat spicy food. Otherwise, it would be bad if he got pimples. So he decided to keep it simple.
So what was finally placed in front of Lin Xian were two steaks, vegetable salads, and red wine.
"There isn't much at home. Usually, Ning Qian helps me prepare some things. And I thought you were filming and couldn't eat spicy food, so I made it simple. It's just to fill your stomach. You can make do with it."
Lin Xian smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to care about me so much."
Ye Erlan rolled his eyes at him in response.
He thought for a while and always felt that something was missing. Suddenly, he had an idea. "Yezi, do you still have any noodles at home?"
Ye Erlan knew that this guy was going to mess up his kitchen as soon as he heard this, so he flatly refused. "No."
"You're lying. I clearly saw some noodles last time." He got up and walked over there. He opened the cabinet and saw the noodles he wanted. He looked back at Ye Erlan and found that the man had a helpless expression on his face.
"Don't worry. I won't mess it up. Making noodles is an easy thing for me." After saying that, he started to work. Although he couldn't cook, making noodles was really the only thing he could do. Now he was even a bit glad that he could make noodles. Otherwise, there would be much less sense of ceremony.
Ye Erlan didn't urge him. Anyway, if he wanted to do it, he could do it. If he broke something, he would have to pay for it himself. Thinking that he had nothing to do now, Ye Erlan took out his phone. There were all kinds of birthday wishes from his friends. He replied to them one by one.
