Chapter 174:
Festive like a festival.
Seven little Omegas happily exchanged gifts with each other as in previous years, their birthdays are on the same day, so this is their annual practice, thanking each other for each other's birth and company.
After lunch, Tang Qiyuan played with his brothers for a while at home. While watching his brothers play games, he received a call from Sheng Cen.
"Come to my house for dinner later, my mother wants to celebrate your birthday." Sheng Cen said calmly on the phone.
"How does Auntie know that today is my birthday?" Tang Qiyuan asked with a smile while holding the phone.
Sheng Cen was silent for a while, then asked: "...what do you think?"
Tang Qiyuan couldn't help giggling, that was naturally because his good roommate remembered his birthday, and then told Queen Xia.
She was a little embarrassed by his laugh, coughed lowly, and said gruffly, "I'll pick you up later."
"Okay." Tang Qiyuan agreed happily, and an inexplicable expectation rose in her heart.
He played at home for a while, then waited at ease for Sheng Cen to pick him up.
When Tang Qiyuan followed Sheng Cen to the Lan Palace, the entire Lan Palace was silent. As soon as he walked in, Empress Xia and Sheng Xi suddenly appeared, smiling and began to sing birthday to him Ge and Yan Fei were also there, holding two balloons in their hands, clapping their hands in a dignified manner, and singing along with them happily, looking innocent and cute.
Tang Qiyuan laughed moved, feeling warm in her heart.
After singing, everyone began to give gifts to Tang Qiyuan. Queen Xia gave Tang Qiyuan a scarf that she knitted by herself, and Sheng Xi gave Tang Qiyuan a hand-painted one. painting.
Yan Fei didn't know Tang Qiyuan's birthday today, but she happened to come here by chance, so he didn't specially prepare a gift, and took out a membership card from his pocket for Tang Qiyuan, I heard that it is a membership card for a store under his family.
Tang Qiyuan took the gifts one by one, smiled gratefully at everyone, and was very happy. The reason why he was so happy was not because of how precious these gifts were, but because he could get from them I felt their intentions in the gift, so I was very moved.
After Yan Fei gave her gifts, she looked up at Sheng Cen and smiled: "Brother Cen, where is your gift?"
Sheng Cen didn't answer, he turned around and went upstairs. After a while, he took a few papers down.
Yan Fei couldn't help but pouted, "Brother Zen, isn't this your gift?"
Sheng Cen ignored him and handed the paper directly to Tang Qiyuan.
Yan Fei stared at the two mediocre papers for a long time, and really didn't see anything special, so she couldn't help but wonder, she felt that Sheng Cen was a gift Shabby, but the next moment, he saw a strong surprise in Tang Qiyuan's eyes, and he smiled even happier than when they gave gifts just now, as if he had obtained some priceless treasure.
Tang Qiyuan turned over the papers one by one, looked up at Sheng Cen in surprise, and asked excitedly, "Have you passed every subject?"
Sheng Cen nodded very reservedly, but his eyes were fixed on Tang Qiyuan, paying attention to every trace of his reaction.
Tang Qiyuan cheered happily, jumped up with the paper, and hugged him, "Great! You've improved again!"
Tang Qiyuan was very happy. In the last exam, Sheng Cen got a high score of 30 points. He was already very pleasantly surprised. !
Sheng Cen curled his lips and asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied with this birthday present?"
"Satisfied! Very satisfied!" Tang Qiyuan's eyes flashed with small stars, looking at the scores on the scroll, she couldn't help but want to praise Sheng Cen, "My tablemate, it is you as expected. , It’s really progressing rapidly, it seems that hard work will not be in vain, we must continue to work hard, you must believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely achieve better results.”
Sheng Cen looked at Yan Fei with great pleasure and raised his eyebrows in a show of pride.
Yan Fei pursed her lips, leaned close to Sheng Xi's ear and bit her ear, "Brother Xi, Brother Zen lied."
He has often come to Lan Palace since he was a child. Naturally, he knows how good Sheng Cen has studied. Of course, he will not be deceived by the so-called 60 points. He can see that Sheng Cen is lying.
Sheng Xi chuckled and said in a low voice, "Then hurry up and expose him."
Yan Fei shook her head, deliberately pretending to be afraid, and said very exaggeratedly, "I don't dare."
Sheng Xi was amused by his appearance and laughed, her pale face was a little rosy, Yan Fei and the others stared at his cheeks, her eyes straightened unconsciously, his face His smile became bigger with Sheng Xi's laugh, and then he pretended to be more scared, which made Sheng Xi smile even more happily.
Tang Qiyuan was very satisfied with Sheng Cen's birthday present, but Queen Xia held her ground for Tang Qiyuan, patted Sheng Cen's head and said, "What kind of gift is this? No, no, Xiao Qi, If you want anything, just tell him and let him give you a new gift."
Tang Qiyuan looked up at Sheng Cen and asked expectantly, "Is it alright?"
Sheng Cen nodded reluctantly, "Just don't ask me to be friends with Chen Zizhan."
Tang Qiyuan nodded and said without hesitation, "I want to hear you play the piano."
From the last time he saw the piano in Sheng Cen's room, he wanted to hear Sheng Cen play the piano by himself.
When Yan Fei heard his words, she immediately cheered: "Great, I haven't heard Zen Ge play the piano for a long time."
Sheng Cen frowned slightly, looked up at Tang Qiyuan, "Do you really want to hear?"
"Yeah." Tang Qiyuan nodded with anticipation.
Sheng Cen hesitated for a moment, then took Tang Qiyuan's hand and went upstairs directly. Yan Fei followed and wanted to listen together, but he mercilessly shut the door out.
Yan Fei had to go downstairs angrily, ran to Sheng Xi for comfort, and took the opportunity to act like a spoiled child.
After Sheng Cen entered the room, he let Tang Qiyuan sit down on the sofa, then walked over to lift the lid of the piano, and sat down in front of the piano.
Although he has not played this piano for a long time, Queen Xia has always had someone help him to clean it carefully, so there is no dust on the piano, it is still spotless and brand new.
Sheng Cen stared at the piano for a while, then turned back to look at Tang Qiyuan, Tang Qiyuan was looking at him expectantly, his dark pupils were clean and focused, there was only him in his eyes,
He couldn't help but smile, turned his head, put his fingers on the piano, and pressed the keys gently, the familiar melody was already in his heart, even though he hadn't played it for a long time, his fingers still seemed to carry Memory, skillfully pressing the keys.
With Sheng Cen's movements, the brisk piano sound slowly flowed out of the room, Tang Qiyuan was fascinated by lying on the sofa, listening quietly, Sheng Xi was right, Sheng Cen piano It's really good, it's a gifted kind of good, every note seems to have its own life.
Tang Qiyuan listened to the music in his ear, and looked at Sheng Cen's back with a fixed gaze. Sheng Cen's sitting posture was very upright, and he played the piano very skillfully and with ease. The lights shone on him. , looks noble and delicate, just like the little prince in the book.
Tang Qiyuan thought blankly, he is indeed a prince, but unfortunately, he is not as well protected as the little prince in the book, but has to face this cold since he was very young. The world, but fortunately, he still has his mother, his brother, and the piano he likes.
After the song ended, Sheng Cen stopped and turned around and asked him warmly, "Are you satisfied with this birthday present?"
"...Satisfied." Tang Qiyuan nodded stunned, he was still immersed in the sound of the piano just now, and he recovered after a while, and couldn't help saying: "It's really nice. ...it sounds great."
He looked down and said regretfully, "Will you still play it for me in the future?"
Sheng Cen looked into his eyes, gave a soft 'um', turned around and put the piano back on.
Tang Qiyuan's eyes lit up when he heard his words, and couldn't help but ask, "Even if it's not my birthday in the future, are you willing to play it for me?"
"En." Sheng Cen stood up and used his impatience to hide a little shyness rising from nowhere, "Okay, it's time to go downstairs for dinner."
Sheng Cen took the lead to walk outside the house, Tang Qiyuan immediately followed, and cheered: "Sheng Cen, you really are a peerless tablemate!"
Sheng Cen coughed unnaturally, his ears reddened slightly, "Got it, long-winded."
When they went downstairs, Queen Xia and the others had already prepared the cake. Yan Fei stood beside the switch and saw them coming down, she immediately reached out and turned off the light.
It was dark in the room, Sheng Xi smiled and lit the candles on the cake, turned back to Tang Qiyuan and said softly, "Xiao Qi, come and blow the candles."
Yan Fei came over and said to Tang Qiyuan in a brisk voice, "This cake is made by Xia Bo's mother, she has been busy all day, the painting on it is painted by Brother Xi himself Yes, beautiful, right?"
Tang Qiyuan walked over and looked at the cake with bright eyes. The cake had the words 'Happy Birthday to Xiao Qi' written on it, and there were five people painted with jam on it, one of whom was in a wheelchair , It looks like it should be Sheng Xi, and the two people standing next to him should be Queen Xia and Yan Fei,
Among the five villains, Tang Qiyuan wears a birthday crown on his head, and Sheng Cen is standing next to him. These villains all have sincere and bright smiles on their faces. Very happy to get up.
Tang Qiyuan watched it for a long time, raised her head, smiled shyly, and said gratefully, "It's beautiful, thank you."
In addition to family members, this is the first time someone has made such an effort to celebrate his birthday.
Sheng Cen took out a birthday crown from somewhere and put it on his head, looked down at him, and his voice unconsciously carried a touch of tenderness, "Make a wish."
"Yeah." Tang Qiyuan nodded, put her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a serious wish. He paused for a while before opening his eyes and blowing out the candle.
Everyone cheered a few times, and there was laughter in the room. Yan Fei walked over and turned on the light, and the room was lit up again. The five little people in the picture are the same.
After blowing out the candles, Queen Xia went to the kitchen to put the food on the table, Sheng Xi and Yan Fei were eager to help.
Tang Qiyuan also wanted to help, but Sheng Cen pulled him back and asked, "What wish did you just make?"
"It doesn't work if I say it." Tang Qiyuan looked at the same table and didn't really want to say it.
Sheng Cen did not agree with what he said, and said in a persuasive manner: "If you don't say it, how will everyone know what your wish is, and how can you help you realize it? Do you really count on the gods? Will you make your wish come true?"
Tang Qiyuan thought about it for a while, and felt that what the same table said was somewhat reasonable, so he said: "I wish that Sheng Cen can study hard, improve every day, and become emperor in the future, and can take care of me, etc. Grass people."
In any case, instead of relying on the gods to help him see, his wish is to let the tablemates work hard.
"You think a lot." Sheng Cen looked at the little roommate who was worried about the country and the people and smiled softly, and then said: "Add one more."
"Add what?"
Sheng Cen hooked his lips, "Let Tang Qiyuan worry less about Sheng Cen in the future."
"That's impossible." Tang Qiyuan turned her head towards the cake and made a serious wish, "Please let Tang Qiyuan urge Sheng Cen to be positive for a lifetime."
Sheng Cen's eyes moved, a little cream was dipped on his finger, and lightly tapped on his nose, and he said in a very low voice, "I wish you the fulfillment of your wish and accompany Sheng Cen for a lifetime. "
