Jiang Ran had learned a lot of self-defense skills from Song Yao intermittently these days. With his eyes covered, he subconsciously used his elbows to attack the person behind him.
Tang Ji really didn't expect her awareness of prevention to be so strong. Fortunately, it was her lower abdomen that was pushed. If it had gone any lower, her happy life in this life would be completely ruined. She exhaled a few mouthfuls of filthy air and slowly crawled off the ground.
Got up.
Jiang Ran supported him, lowered his head with some remorse, glanced quickly at the people around him, and asked softly: "What on earth are you doing?"
Tang Ji rubbed his belly and looked at Li Yu angrily: "Who asked you to light a candle!"
"I'm not worried about your safety." Li Yu replied, spreading his hands.
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. The sense of mystery he originally wanted to create was broken. He could only move on to the next step. He raised his hand to cover Jiang Ran's eyes again and winked at several people around him.
Li Yu was the first to react, pulling Song Xiao back to where he was, and started working hard.
Tang Ji stood behind Jiang Ran and asked softly: "Ranran, do you still remember what day it is today?"
Jiang Ran didn't forget her birth date, and everyone had guessed it based on their behavior just now, but before she could reply, Tang Ji had already let go of her hand.
The next second, the lights in the entire room were extinguished again. The only light came from the huge cake carried by Cheng Tie and Song Xiao, with eighteen tiny special candles inserted on it. The two slowly walked to Jiang Ran,
There were also a lot of blessings coming from all around.
"Sister Jiang Ran, happy birthday!"
"Sister Jiang, happy birthday!"
"Happy birthday, miss!"
"..."
Jiang Ran blinked his jade eyes, his eyes glowed with white light, and a smile appeared on his face: "Thank you everyone."
"Okay, make a wish and then blow out the candles." Tang Ji reminded, reaching out and touching her head.
Although Jiang Ran didn't understand why he did this, he saw that the candles were getting shorter and shorter, and there were no ink marks. He silently thought of a wish in his heart, and then leaned over slightly to blow out the candles on the cake.
Then, there was a burst of cheers in the room, and the servants quickly relit the candles.
When the main hall became bright again, everyone took out the prepared gifts and placed them on the table.
"Sister Jiang, this is the luminous pearl that I bought a few days ago, and now I give it to you."
"Hmph, your gift is too vulgar. Sister Jiang Ran, please look at me and prepare two pieces of fine fabric for you."
"Miss, there is also Jiu'er. Jiu'er bought you sugar-coated haws and small sugar cakes..."
"Hey, Xiaoran, I'm a big guy and I don't know what to prepare for you. This is the rouge and gouache that your sister-in-law Cheng chose for you."
"..."
Jiang Ran looked at the gifts piled on the table and thanked them again: "Thank you."
Tang Ji stood beside him, took out the beryl bracelet wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve, and said softly: "Ranran, happy birthday, I..."
But he was only halfway through his words when Jiang Ran glared at him and ran out of the house.
"Hey, Ran Ran!" Tang Ji held the jade bracelet in his hand and quickly chased after him.
Seeing this, Jiuer put down the sweets and snacks in his hands and wanted to catch up with the two of them: "Miss!"
"Let them solve it themselves." Li Yu hurriedly stopped her, stared at Tang Ji's back, and shook his head: "I told you not to be so fancy. If you have to deceive Sister Jiang, he is called moving.
Stone yourself in the foot."
Song Yao stood at the table, pinching her fingers and looking at Li Yu with beautiful eyes. Her birthday will be in three months. She wonders if he can be as careful as Tang Ji.
Li Yu turned his head and noticed her gaze, coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, don't worry about them, let's eat cake. It's not easy to make this thing. I don't know how much fresh fruit was used in it, Sister Yao
, I’ll cut it into big pieces for you.”
...
On the other side, Jiang Ran trotted into the corridor in the side courtyard, her pace gradually slowing down, but there were two more tears on her cheeks.
Tang Ji quickly caught up with her and quickly held her hand: "I didn't mean to lie to you."
"You did it on purpose." Jiang Ran snorted coldly and struggled twice symbolically.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ji suddenly showed a look of pain, took a breath of cold air, and stretched out his hand to cover his lower abdomen.
Jiang Ran quickly turned sideways, letting him lean on her shoulder, and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Does it still hurt? I'll go find a doctor for you!"
Tang Ji shook his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and pointed at his cheek: "I think it will heal faster if you kiss me than the doctor."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran realized that he had been deceived by him again, and immediately pursed her lips: "Humph, you lied to me again."
Even so, she still looked around, and then shyly placed a gentle kiss on Tang Ji's cheek.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Tang Ji raised his head with satisfaction, took her into his arms, and said softly: "Today is your birthday, don't be angry."
Jiang Ran shook his head. The reason why she shed tears was not because she was angry with him, but because he took her birthday seriously and secretly prepared a surprise for herself. She couldn't help but shed tears again and leaned on his arms.
Medium: "Why do you have to be so nice to me?"
"Because you are my future wife!" Tang Ji pressed his chin against her head and rubbed it.
There were only a few lanterns in the corridor, and the light was not very good. The two of them took advantage of the moonlight and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.
Tang Ji let Jiang Ran lean on his shoulder and took out the beryl bracelet from his sleeve. After opening the handkerchief, the bracelet glowed with a faint emerald color under the moonlight, making it look particularly beautiful.
Jiang Ran blinked his jade eyes and asked softly: "Are you going to give me a bracelet again?"
"This one is different from the one I bought in Huaizhou. By the way, why haven't you thrown away that bracelet yet?" Tang Ji bought her a bracelet when he was in Huaizhou. Maybe it was because of quality issues that she rejected it.
It broke accidentally, but she didn't throw it away. Instead, she wrapped it and put it away.
Jiang Ran pursed her lips and said softly: "Because you gave it to me, so I want to keep it."
Tang Ji smiled lightly, then held her jade hand, touched the ring on her ring finger, and carefully put the green jade bracelet on her.
Then, he raised Jiang Ran's hand, admired it, and murmured: "Wear my ring and bracelet, and you are mine."
Jiang Ran slowly closed his eyes and replied softly: "It's always been the case."
Hearing this, Tang Ji raised the corner of his mouth and hugged her into his arms again.
But not long after, Jiang Ran blushed and raised her eyes to stare at him.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so hot?" Tang Ji reached out and touched her little face.
Hearing that this big pervert had done bad things and still pretended to be innocent, Jiang Ran bit her jade lips and looked down at his other dishonest hand.
Seeing that her actions were discovered, Tang Ji also giggled twice, took back the hand that was on her ball of marshmallows, moved his fingers twice with lingering interest, put it against Jiang Ran's ear, and whispered: "Really
So soft."
"Ah~Tang Ji, shut up." Jiang Ran quickly blocked his mouth, but his cheeks had turned into burning clouds. He took a breath and said, "Tang Ji, I want to eat cake."
"Okay~ Then I'll cut it for you." Tang Ji left the stone chair and stood up.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran also stood up: "I'll go with you."
Afterwards, the two held hands and strolled towards the main courtyard. The jade bracelet on Jiang Ran's hand shone slightly under the moonlight, as if witnessing this sweet scene.
