Fang Zicheng told the woman in front of him, “I want to buy a gift.”

“May I ask who the little guest plans to give the gift to?”

Fang Zicheng said, “My father.”

“Alright, this way please.”

After about nine minutes, Fang Yusheng saw Fang Zicheng coming out of the shop. Noticing that Fang Zicheng was holding a shopping bag, Fang Yusheng narrowed his eyes.

Good lord, did this kid spend all his pocket money?

He was even more curious about what Fang Zicheng had bought.

“Done,” Fang Zicheng said to Fang Yusheng.

“Let’s go then.”

When Fang Zicheng entered the shop to buy things, Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Zikai ran to the shop in front to buy ice cream. Fang Yusheng brought Fang Zicheng to meet Qiao Jiusheng and the rest, and it happened to be Qiao Jiusheng’s turn.

She bought four flavors of ice cream, and Fang Yusheng and Fang Zicheng got one each.

After eating the ice cream, Fang Yusheng drove them home.

When he got out of the car, Fang Yusheng did not forget to take away the doll Fang Zikai had given him.

When they reached the corridor of the dormitory, the two children bade their parents goodnight and returned to their rooms. Fang Yusheng first went to see Fang Taoran. Seeing that Fang Taoran was asleep, he returned to his room to take a shower.

When he returned to his room, Qiao Jiusheng had already taken a shower.

“I’m going to take a shower.” Fang Yusheng unbuckled his belt and walked to the bathroom.

Qiao Jiusheng tied the bathrobe bag and said, “I’ll go see the little princess.”

When Fang Yusheng came out of the shower, he was a little surprised that Qiao Jiusheng had yet to return. He thought that Qiao Jiusheng was busy with Fang Taoran, so Fang Yusheng did not mind.

He picked up his phone and sat down on the bed. He covered his long legs with the blanket. Fang Yusheng leaned against the headboard and turned on his phone to chat with Zhuang Long and the rest.

The moment he turned on his phone, he realized that there was a new message on WeChat.

The person who sent the message was actually Qiao Jiusheng.

Fang Yusheng was a little surprised. They were under the same roof, so what couldn’t they say in person? He even sent a WeChat message. Although he was complaining in his heart, Fang Yusheng still opened the WeChat chat box.

Qiao Jiusheng: [Come to the theater.]

Qiao Jiusheng: [Kiss / expression.]

Fang Yusheng frowned.

Go to the screening room?

He lifted the blanket, got out of bed, put on his shoes, put on his pajamas, and went to the screening room. The screening room was the second last room on the side of the dormitory. When Fang Yusheng arrived, the door was open a crack and it was dark inside.

Fang Yusheng pushed open the door and was about to turn on the lights when the screen in front of him suddenly lit up.

Fang Yusheng was stunned.

He walked into the house and closed the door. Under the dim light, he walked to the last row of chairs and sat down. A figure vaguely appeared on the movie screen. Fang Yusheng looked over and saw three people on the screen.

Qiao Jiusheng, Fang Zicheng, and Fang Zikai appeared on the screen. Following that was a familiar piano sound.

Upon hearing this song, Fang Yusheng was stunned at first. Then, his eyes softened, and his sitting body relaxed as he leaned lazily against the chair.

This was a song that Fang Yusheng remembered in his heart. It was the song that he had played at the Fang Corporation’s anniversary party the first year after he reunited with Qiao Jiusheng. It was “Eternal Moment”.

He looked gently at the three people on the screen.

Qiao Jiusheng was wearing a red strapless dress as she sat beside the courtyard ditch in the courtyard. In front of her was a piano. On the screen, Qiao Jiusheng was slightly fatter than her current appearance, but her stomach was not big. Fang Yusheng guessed that this was a video that Qiao Jiusheng had recorded during the New Year during her confinement period.

Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai were wearing the same suit. Fang Zicheng was wearing a red bow tie, and Fang Zikai was wearing a black bow tie. Fang Zikai stood on the bridge in the courtyard ditch and hugged a violin.

Fang Zicheng held a harmonica and sat on the piano.

Qiao Jiusheng played the best, and Fang Zikai’s violin was not bad either. Only Fang Zicheng’s harmonica music was a little embarrassing. The intermittent music entered Fang Yusheng’s ears. As he watched the three of them perform, his heart was unbelievably gentle.

No matter how tragic their performance was, in Fang Yusheng’s opinion, it was the most beautiful scene in the world, the one that attracted him the most and the one that he loved the most.

After the song ended, Fang Zikai ran down from the small bridge. He lay on Qiao Jiusheng’s lap while Fang Zicheng sat on the piano. The three of them turned their heads to look at the camera and said together, “Dad, happy birthday!”

“Yusheng, happy birthday!”

Fang Yusheng looked at the three of them with tears in his eyes.

“Happy birthday…” he said to himself. “Happy 35th birthday. Thank you.”

The video continued to play. The mother and sons were singing a happy birthday song.

At first, the song came from the sound system.

Gradually, Fang Yusheng heard a song coming from behind him. He turned around in surprise and saw Qiao Jiusheng holding the cake with Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai beside her. The mother and sons were wearing pajamas. In the flickering candlelight, Qiao Jiusheng’s slightly round face looked especially charming.

“Happy birthday to you.”

“Happy birthday to you…”

Fang Yusheng had already stood up at some point. He stood opposite Qiao Jiusheng, and between the two of them was the small but exquisite birthday cake. The singing stopped, and Qiao Jiusheng looked up at Fang Yusheng.

“Yusheng, happy birthday.” Qiao Jiusheng handed the cake to Fang Zicheng and his brother. She walked to Fang Yusheng’s side and tiptoed to hug his neck. Fang Yusheng heard Qiao Jiusheng say, “I’ll celebrate your 35th birthday with you. 45 years old, 55 years old, 65 years old, 75 years old. I’ll accompany you.”

“76 years old. I’ll follow you wherever you are.”

When Fang Yusheng was 35 years old, Qiao Jiusheng made a promise to him.

They were born separately but they will die together.

Unable to control his emotions, Fang Yusheng pressed Qiao Jiusheng into his arms while he buried his face in Qiao Jiusheng’s neck. Qiao Jiusheng did not move, nor did she push Fang Yusheng away because he was crying.

Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai stared at their parents hugging each other and felt strange. Did they have to hug for so long?

After a few minutes, Fang Yusheng let go of Qiao Jiusheng.

Fang Yusheng said, “I’m going back to my room to use the toilet.”

Without waiting for Qiao Jiusheng and the rest to agree, Fang Yusheng quickly opened the door and strode back to his room. After a few minutes, Fang Yusheng returned to the theater. At this moment, his emotions were already calm, but a few strands of hair on his forehead were wet.

Fang Zikai asked him, “Dad, you even took the time to wash your face?”

Fang Yusheng nodded.

Fang Zicheng stared at Fang Yusheng’s slightly red eyes and guessed what Fang Yusheng had gone to do just now. He pursed his lips and rubbed his heart. Qiao Jiusheng did not expose Fang Yusheng’s disguise. She handed the knife to Fang Yusheng. “Cut the cake.”

“Okay.”

Fang Yusheng cut seven pieces of cake, one for each of the four of them, and one for Lisa, Chi Baoguang, and Aunt Jin. The little princess was still too young, so she naturally did not have a share.
