Chapter 18

: Love Sparks on Birthday, Relationship Confirmed

After Fan Binbin's figure disappeared in the corridor, Zhou Yan returned to the house.

After tidying up the dishes, Zhou Yan left home.

"Tomorrow is Binbin's birthday, what gift should I give him?" Zhou Yan and Fan Binbin share the same birthday.

As Zhou Yan walked, he looked at the shops on both sides, his mind constantly in thought.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Zhou Yan stopped and stared at the mobile phone store across the street. He knew what to buy as a gift.

If I remember correctly, Fan Binbin doesn't own a cell phone.

"I'll just give you a phone; it'll be easier to contact you later," Zhou Yan said. He went to a nearby bank to withdraw some cash and then went to the phone store.

Since it's a birthday gift for someone else, it shouldn't be too shabby, but it also doesn't need to be too fancy, because mobile phones are updated so quickly that this phone probably won't last very long.

After inquiring about the price, Zhou Yan finally bought a Motorola V998 worth over five thousand yuan.

Zhou Yan then got another SIM card and prepaid some phone credit to it.

As for the phone number, he naturally chose it.

After buying the phone, Zhou Yan didn't stay long and went straight home.

Fan Binbin returned home around 4 p.m.

"Back so early?" Zhou Yan was quite surprised; it was only a little past four o'clock.

"Ugh, don't even mention it."

"What's wrong?"

"We discussed the plot all day, but didn't shoot a single scene."

"Ah..." Zhou Yan was a little confused, "There's such a thing?"

Fan Binbin's desire to share immediately kicked in, and he kept complaining to Zhou Yan about the film crew.

Although they were all trivial matters, Zhou Yan did not interrupt the other person.

Fan Binbin didn't leave Zhou Yan's place until after 9 p.m.

It's clear she really doesn't want to leave.

On September 16th, after Fan Binbin went to the film set, Zhou Yan called his parents to tell them about his recent situation.

When people are away from home, their biggest worry and concern is for their parents.

As they talked, the topic gradually veered off course!

"Shitou, you're not getting any younger, it's time to find someone," Zhou's mother began urging him to get married.

"Mom, how old am I?" Zhou Yan was speechless.

"How old? Zhou Yang is already a father."

"Mom, I have something to do here, I'll hang up now," Zhou Yan hurriedly hung up the phone.

The "Stone" that Zhou's mother mentioned was his nickname, and Zhou Yang was his childhood friend from the same village; the two grew up together!

"This is terrifying!" This is one of the reasons why Zhou Yan doesn't want to stay at home!

Zhou Yan went to the market and bought some seafood, fresh meat, and also ordered a small cake.

Back home, Zhou Yan began decorating the room, putting up a "Happy Birthday" sign, popping up some balloons as decorations, and preparing red candles and wine.

Although it didn't cost much money, it was very ceremonial.

In the afternoon, Zhou Yan prepared the ingredients and went to the cake shop to pick up the small cakes.

After returning, I started cooking.

Because it was their birthday party, Zhou Yan made a very grand preparation.

The menu includes boiled shrimp, stir-fried squid, stir-fried clams, homemade spicy chicken, Mapo tofu, and dry-fried shredded pork.

Although there were only six dishes, Zhou Yan was busy all afternoon preparing them.

Fan Binbin returned from the film set around 6 PM. He had more things to do today than yesterday, so he came back two hours later.

Fan Binbin did not return to her own residence, but instead opened the door to Zhou Yan's house.

Fan Binbin was stunned when she opened the door.

A "Happy Birthday" sign was pasted on the wall, red balloons lay on the ground, and beautiful ribbons were arranged around it, creating a very festive atmosphere.

The table was set with dishes, red wine, wine glasses, and a birthday cake. The dishes were covered by plates, so you couldn't see what they were.

A figure stood with its back to me in front of the window.

The powerful images deeply impacted Fan Binbin's heart.

Fan Binbin covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

Zhou Yan was writing furiously at his desk when he heard the noise behind him and stopped and stood up.

"Binbin, happy birthday," Zhou Yan said with a smile, his face full of blessings.

"Zhou Yan," Fan Binbin looked at everything Zhou Yan had prepared for her and could no longer control her emotions. She rushed over and threw herself into his arms.

Zhou Yan quickly opened his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Why are you so good to me?" Fan Binbin asked, her eyes brimming with tears. She was truly moved.

All day today, no one remembered her birthday except herself.

Forget about birthday gifts, there wasn't even a simple birthday greeting.

Although Fan Binbin didn't say anything, he was filled with disappointment and sadness, feeling like he had been abandoned by the whole world.

But she never expected that when the whole world abandoned her, there was still a beacon shining for her, and someone waiting for her in the same place.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Fan Binbin asked again, seemingly determined to get the other person to admit that they liked her!

Zhou Yan didn't know how to respond when he heard this.

Does that mean I'm lusting after your body and that I'm despicable?

Fan Binbin looked up at Zhou Yan, her eyes brimming with tears and filled with expectation, "Do you like me?"

Zhou Yan remained silent, as if he were a block of wood. Fan Binbin lost her patience and took the initiative to bring up the topic!

"I..." Zhou Yan didn't expect Fan Binbin to ask him so directly.

"I do like you," Zhou Yan said, nodding in acknowledgment as he looked into Fan Binbin's expectant gaze.

"I knew it," Fan Binbin said, her tears turning into laughter. She closed her eyes, lifted her toes, and kissed Zhou Yan.

Seeing the scene before him, and knowing the atmosphere had reached this point, Zhou Yan knew that if he backed down, he would be letting down the beauty's heart.

Their lips met, and intense emotions erupted at that moment, with Zhou Yan's possessiveness clashing with Fan Binbin's pure love.

Thick and hot!

……

At the dinner table, Zhou Yan lifted the plates on top of the dishes one by one, revealing the delicious food inside.

"It's getting a bit cold, I'll go to the kitchen to heat it up." Although the plate on top was meant to keep the food warm, the dishes had been sitting for a while and were already cold.

As Zhou Yan spoke, she picked up the plate and headed towards the kitchen.

"No need," Fan Binbin stopped Zhou Yan directly. "It's not winter now, the food isn't that cold, why be so fussy!"

"I often ate cold food when I was on set, and nothing ever happened to me."

"Your stomach isn't good, you can't eat cold food," Zhou Yan insisted on heating it up.

"But I'm so hungry," Fan Binbin stood up and hugged Zhou Yan's arm affectionately.

"Alright then," Zhou Yan said, looking at Fan Binbin's charming and coquettish manner. How could he resist? He finally put the plate back on the table.

Fan Binbin looked at the delicious food on the table, his eyes filled with surprise: "Wow, these are all my favorite foods."

"Husband, I love you," Fan Binbin kissed Zhou Yan hard.

Yes, the two of them have confirmed their relationship and are now together.

Fan Binbin already had feelings for Zhou Yan, and after this battle, she was completely smitten.

"Eat first, then cut the cake."

"Mmm," Fan Binbin said, already hungry, and picked up her chopsticks to eat heartily.

"This is delicious."

"This is delicious too."

……

Fan Binbin was very happy and cheerful; his radiant appearance was definitely not an act.
