Venerated Venomous Consort

She quickly followed, ”Alright, let’s go…”

...

Tonight was not a good day for a walk. The moon was a thin crescent, and it looked even more delicate than a pair of eyebrows. It was now early spring, and the weather was quite cold. Hence, it was not crowded on the streets.

Gu Xijiu and Long Siye were walking on the street. Long Siye seemed to be angry as he had not spoken a word since they left the hotel.

Gu XIjiu tried to break the ice and kept talking to him. However, he never responded. Gu Xijiu felt a bit awkward, and she did not know whether she should continue talking or not. She had planned to tell him a joke. In the past Long Xi liked listening to her jokes. Before she was able to tell the joke, a person appeared from the corner of the street.

”Master!”

Gu Xijiu was stunned. This person was Ye Hongfeng.

Ye Hongfeng’s face was slightly blushed, ”Master, I have been looking for you.”

Long Siye had been very cold to Gu Xijiu. However, when he saw Ye Hongfeng, he finally spoke, ”What happened?”

Ye Hongfeng looked at Gu Xijiu and hesitated.

Gu Xijiu understood and immediately said, ”Both of you should talk first. I will hang around somewhere else…”

”You do not have to go. There is nothing private going on between Ye Hongfeng and me. Hongfeng, just say it.”

Gu Xijiu stayed.

Ye Hongfeng pursed her lips, ”Master, today is your birthday. I have prepared a table of food to celebrate with you…”

Long Siye nodded slightly and said, ”It seems like you are more concerned about me.”

Gu Xijiu remained silent.

Was today Long Siye’s birthday? She quickly asked herself in her mind.

It was indeed Long Siye’s birthday in his past life. She had celebrated it with him before.

Recently she had been busy and had forgotten all about it. Now she knew why Long Siye was angry with her. When she was about to say something, Long Siye looked at her and asked, ”Shall we go together?”

Gu Xijiu thought that Ye Hongfeng did not want her to join them, and she did not want to be a light bulb between them… Therefore she planned to reject him after she had given him his birthday present. When she placed her hand into her storage bag, Long Siye said coldly, ”Aren’t you going to attend my birthday celebration?”

Gu Xijiu remained silent. She took a deep breath and tried to ignore Ye Hongfeng’s pale face, ”No, I will go!”

...

Inside a dining room. A table was full of food. Three of them were sitting around the table. It was pretty clear that Ye Hongfeng understood Long Siye very well. All the food that was on the table were his favorites.

Ye Hongfeng was well-prepared. She had even made a birthday cake for him. Of course, given the limited amount of ingredients, the birthday cake could not be compared to the cakes found in the modern day. However, it looked very alike to a modern cake.

There were a few small candles on it. When they were lit up, it looked like they were celebrating someone’s birthday in the modern day.

”Master, make a wish.” Ye Hongfeng winked at Long Siye.

Long Siye stared at Gu Xijiu, ”Can you sing a birthday song for me?”

”Master, I can sing for you. I am also very good at singing.” Ye Hongfeng offered before Gu Xijiu had started to sing.

”No, you have done so much for me. Let Xijiu sing.”
