Chapter 80

Ch80 – Happy Birthday

When he went into He Yun Chen's room, Ruan Tang couldn't help sighing about the benefits of a big house. This bedroom alone was comparable to the size of his small single apartment. The room was clean, decorated in a monochromatic style, it matched well with the owner's personality. The floor was covered with a soft carpet, and it felt very comfortable treading upon it. A large soft bed with a width of at least 2.5 meters was placed in the room. Just looking at it made people feel quite comfortable. It made you want to go and lie down on it.

There was also a large induction cabin in the room, exactly the same as the one he had originally seen at the military headquarters. It should be for when He Yun Chen wanted to log into the virtual battle system. Wardrobes, bookcases and other furniture were all present. There was also a separate gravity training room with some exercise equipment.

Ruan Tang was in high spirits as he looked around He Yun Chen's room. Afterwards, he felt that he should make his new house feel just as comfortable as this.

"Chen Ge, where's the bathroom? I'd like to take a shower." Ruan Tang had developed the habit of taking a shower every day.

Sho-shower…

He Yun Chen took a deep breath. He had on a taut face and pointed to a door on the right side of the room, "It's through here."

"Okay." Ruan Tang took off his coat and strode into the bathroom. "By the way, Chen Ge, can I borrow a towel? I just bought some toiletries and a change of clothes from the Star Network. It should arrive soon. Chen Ge, can you please sign the delivery for me? "

"Alright..."

The sound of running water soon came from the bathroom, and He Yun Chen continued to take deep breaths. He then turned around and headed out of the room. He went downstairs to sign for Ruan Tang's purchase delivery.

The speed of the interstellar express was very fast, and the goods were delivered within a few minutes. He Yun Chen took the package upstairs and unpacked it. He found that there were a pair of underwear, a thin robe, and a set of travel toiletries.

His gaze was stuck uncontrollably to the pair of white underpants. He estimated Ruan Tang's size, and then his nose began to heat up. He immediately held his head with his hands and forced himself to look away.

"Chen Ge, I'm done with my shower. Did the delivery arrive?" Ruan Tang's voice came from the bathroom.

"Here it is." He Yun Chen kept pressing down on his heart that kept jumping about. He tried to answer in a calm and composed manner.

"Sorry to bother you. Could you hand them to me?" The bathroom door immediately opened a slit, and a wet arm stretched out from it. Ruan Tang's skin was particularly fair and under the light, it looked like top grade porcelain with its smooth and lustrous sheen. There were a few drops of water on it that hadn't been wiped away. They sparkled like diamond that meandered around his skin.

He Yun Chen suddenly closed his eyes. He grabbed all those clothes and carelessly stuffed them all through.

The smooth and delicate arm retracted back inside and the bathroom door was once again closed.

After taking a refreshing and relaxing shower, Ruan Tang emerged from the bathroom wearing the thin night robe. It was tied loosely around his waist, exposing his white chest. Because of the hot steam from the shower, his skin appeared to be a beautiful rosy pink. He Yun Chen saw him and couldn't move his eyes away.

Ruan Tang was completely unaware of He Yun Chen's turbulent mood. While He Yun Chen went to take a shower, he quickly turned on the light brain and browsed the shopping site. He added all the ingredients that he might need for tomorrow into the shopping cart. He'll wait until the number of guests were confirmed before making the purchase.

When He Yun Chen came out of the bathroom, he saw Ruan Tang, on the big bed, lying on his stomach. He was fiddling with his light brain, his two sleek and slender legs stretched outwards, making his legs look especially long and straight. Ruan Tang's plump toes still fidgeted about from time to time, like a child's. The night robe was in disarray because of his bad posture, and he could see vaguely see the full round buttocks covered by that pair of white underpants.

He Yun Chen subconsciously reached out his hand and held his nose…

"Chen Ge! You're done with your shower? Come sleep!" Ruan Tang, who had lived in a male dormitory when he was attending college during his previous life, had also experienced crowding in a bed with his classmates when they went traveling so he innocently called out to He Yun Chen, not having any other meaning behind his words.

"Ok….."

"Brother Chen, you're in great shape!" Ruan Tang sighed enviously as He Yun Chen approached. Wide shoulders, a narrow waist, thick long legs, tight muscles and beautiful, elegant lines. It was simply the standard model figure. He Yun Chen, underneath that bathrobe, probably has a six pack and a mermaid line, Ruan Tang thought. It was definitely much better than his own weak and white chicken build…

Being stared by Ruan Tang's slightly fervent eyes, He Yun Chen pursed his lips, feeling that that erroneous flame seemed to have reignited in his body.

Seeing that Ruan Tang looked as though he still wanted to reach out and touch, He Yun Chen's heart jumped violently. He approached in two or three strides, lifted open the quilt and covered Ruan Tang's entire person under it. With both his hand pressing down on the quilt, He Yun Chen took a deep breath. He fastened his clothes neatly and lay down beside him. In a low voice, he said, "Let's sleep."

Ruan Tang, thinking about how he couldn't help but tease, felt a blush rise to his cheeks. He pulled the quilt under his chin and found that He Yun Chen wasn't covered by the quilt. So he gave half of the quilt to the other and whispered "Good night". He then closed his eyes and soon he fell asleep.

After a good night's rest.

When Ruan Tang got up the next day, He Yun Chen was no longer in bed. Ruan Tang stretched lazily and then, with eyes still fogged with sleep, got out of bed and washed his face.

Downstairs, he found He Yun Chen sitting on the sofa downstairs, half-reclining against its back. There was a hint of tiredness underneath his eyes.

"Chen Ge, did you not sleep well yesterday? Was it because I tossed around in bed and disturbed you?" Ruan Tang felt very guilty.

He Yun Chen said, "No, I was … thinking about something yesterday."

Ruan Tang nodded but still thought in his heart that it was indeed his fault. Therefore, he volunteered to make breakfast. The delicious steamed dumplings and shrimp and fish fillet congee was highly praised by everyone.

After eating and drinking, the He Family got ready to go to work.

"A'Tang, I'll drop you off where you need to go. Are you going home or going to the military headquarters?" He Yun Chen asked Ruan Tang.

"I'll go to the Academy of Sciences today. I can just grab a ride with Big Brother He. Chen Ge, can you help me bring this congee to Ruan Yu?" Ruan Tang handed him the preservation box containing the shrimp and fish fillet congee.

"Okay." He Yun Chen pushed down the inexplicable disappointment he felt. He took the box and went out.

Soon, there were only He Yun Yi and Ruan Tang left in the house. He Yun Yi couldn't help laughing, "Look, didn't I say he's a blockhead? He probably didn't even notice it was his birthday."

Ruan Tang couldn't help smiling, "Big Brother He, have you told aunt and uncle?"

"I've told them. They'll definitely come home on time tonight. They'll also inform some of our close relatives and friends to come over and celebrate."

"How many people will there be tonight?" Ruan Tang began to plan it out in his mind.

"There should be about a dozen people." He Yun Yi made a mental count of the people attending. He paused and then said, "In fact, you can do a live broadcast of the birthday feast tonight."

In any case, the entire empire already knew he and the He Brothers had a good relationship. There was no need to keep it a secret that he was celebrating He Yun Chen's birthday. At the same time, the more people knew about celebrating birthdays, the more beneficial it would be for the dissemination and popularization of natural ingredients.

"Okay." Ruan Tang, of course, agreed. This would be a good chance for Ruan Yu, who was still in the hospital, to be able to enjoy the taste of a sumptuous meal.

If there was going to be more than a dozen people, it was almost a sure thing that they would need two tables. It seemed that a bit more ingredients needed to be prepared.

Next, it was time for Ruan Tang to get busy. He Yun Yi knew nothing about cooking. He couldn't do much even if he did stay, so he went out to work. Ruan Tang needed the bullfrog, crayfish, cola, cooking wine and many other things. When he arrives at the Academy of Sciences, he will have those delivered to him.

Ruan Tang had too many things to prepare. If he did it by himself, he wouldn't be able to manage. After thinking about it, he opened the light brain and dialed the President Gu's number. He wanted to borrow his apprentice, Tao An.

Last time at the reception banquet for the Rutes, Ruan Tang and Tao An had cooperated well. Although Tao An's voice was a bit loud and his personality was a bit out of touch, he never ever fooled around while working and they managed to work seamlessly together. With his help, he would certainly achieve twice the results with half the work. If Tao An weren't already apprenticed under President Gu, he would have long tried to get him as his own apprentice.

President Gu also had also received an invitation. Knowing that he was going to prepare for He Yun Chen's birthday banquet, he naturally agreed. If he weren't restricted by his identity, he, himself, would have happily played second fiddle to Ruan Tang. After finishing the call with Ruan Tang. He tugged over his apprentice, and poured earnest advice into his ears. He told him to follow Ruan Tang's orders, do a good job, listen, watch and learn, and don't bother Ruan Tang.

Being Ruan Tang's fan, Tao An nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. After packing his things, he dashed away.

He arrived with the delivery and he and Ruan Tang moved the things to the kitchen. Ruan Tang then clapped his hands and said, "Let's get started."

*********

By evening, He Yun Chen finished the work at hand and drove back home.

When he entered the house, it was completely pitch black, there wasn't a single light on. He could faintly make out shallow breathing which made his handsome brows knit tightly.

It was impossible for someone to have invaded the He Family's security system.

He bent down slowly, took his light-bladed dagger out of his boot, and took a defensive posture.

At this time, there was a light that flared in the darkness. He Yun Chen was about to make a move when he clearly heard singing. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday …"

This singing voices were very familiar to He Yun Chen. He immediately put the dagger in his hand back into his pocket, and then looked in disbelief at the direction of the fire light.

Ruan Tang was pushing a cart with a cake towards He Yun Chen. He was followed by a crowd of people, watching the exciting scene.

"Chen Ge, happy birthday." Ruan Tang's face became brighter and more beautiful under the light of the fire. He looked at He Yun Chen with a slight frown, and said, "This is a birthday cake. Hurry. Make a silent wish, then blow out the candles. Then your wish will come true. "

He Yun Chen stared intently at Ruan Tang's face, silently made a wish in his heart, and then blew out the candles as Ruan Tang told him to.

After the candles were blown out, the lights were turned on. He Yun Chen found that many familiar faces were gathered in the house. Even Ran Jing and He Wei Ye were among them. The living room had been rearranged, and many colored lights and beautiful ribbons decorated the room, giving it a very festive feel.

He Yun Chen asked, a bit surprised, "This is …?"

"Please, sit down, everyone. The birthday feast is about to begin!" Ruan Tang said with a smile.
