Chapter 354: It Just Had to Be on My Birthday

After dinner, none of the three had any plans to go out; having missed a week of classes, Chen Shanni prepared to settle down and catch up on her studies.

For this purpose, she even specifically borrowed a notebook from Yu Youwei.

Wu Yueer, on the other hand, dragged Shen Yan to play games at home; one played support, the other played AD, and the two stirred up a storm in Summoner's Rift.

Compared to Wu Yueer, Shen Yan spent a significantly smaller amount of time playing games.

Despite this, the difference in their rank points was not large; Wu Yueer had 2250 points, equivalent to the Master tier, and was currently at a bottleneck where climbing any higher was harder than ascending to heaven.

Shen Yan's rank points were 2035.

But this was far from his limit; it was just that he played less.

Through their concerted cooperation, no matter how the opponents performed, the two could always secure an absolute advantage in the bottom lane and then further expand that lead through team fights.

No one could stop their streak of victories.

Having triumphantly taken eight wins in a row, the flower-like, radiant smile on Wu Yueer's face never once faded, and she hugged Shen Yan and showered him with kisses.

"Hubby, you're amazing, I love you to death."

Shen Yan grinned and chuckled, taking a moment of leisure to place his hand on her thigh and take advantage, which drew a coquettish protest from the beauty, who felt life was so cozy and wonderful.

At ten in the evening, Shen Yan knocked on the door and entered Chen Shanni's room, where the good girl was sitting in her computer chair, diligently reviewing her schoolwork.

On the desk sat a potted lavender plant; its stalks were short and compact, its leaves slender and deep green, and its purple flowers grew densely and neatly at the top of the stems, forming conical flower spikes.

It exuded a fresh and elegant fragrance that was refreshing to the heart.

Seeing that the person who arrived was Shen Yan, Chen Shanni's pretty face flushed slightly, and she asked why he had come over; Shen Yan said with a straight face, "I'm seeing if there's anything you don't understand so I can tutor you."

Chen Shanni could not help but beam with joy and hurriedly asked the study god for guidance; after explaining the schoolwork, Shen Yan closed her book and said with a lack of interest, "It's late, go to sleep early."

"You... why don't you go find Yue'er?" Chen Shanni felt a bit embarrassed.

"Your body hasn't recovered yet, I want to spend more time with you."

Shen Yan stared straight at her; Chen Shanni's eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and she was clearly in a very good mood, but she still shyly refused Shen Yan: "I'm on my period, you should go find Yue'er instead."

Shen Yan rolled his eyes: "I'm not some lecherous demon, thinking about that stuff all day long; I actually just want to hold you while I sleep."

Hearing this, Chen Shanni felt as if she had eaten honey water, her heart sweet; she felt the same way, and if not for Wu Yueer, she would have loved to cling to Shen Yan all day long.

Lights out! Into bed!

The room was pitch black, with only the bright moonlight spilling through the window onto the bed, forming patches of mottled light and shadow; Chen Shanni lay on her side facing the window, the silvery radiance reflecting off her cheeks, making her look exceptionally charming.

Shen Yan wrapped his arms around her abdomen from behind and pulled her into his embrace.

The two whispered intimately, and Chen Shanni's voice was soft like a willow in the wind: "Shen Yan, your birthday is in half a month, how do you plan to spend it?"

Uh...

Shen Yan was slightly stunned; in previous years, because of that woman, he never had the habit of celebrating his birthday, but this year the situation was quite different, so he said indifferently: "Anything is fine, we'll just have a meal together then and find some fun outside."

Chen Shanni readily agreed.

When it came to playing, she was definitely the most excited one; she asked Shen Yan with great interest what he wanted to do, and Shen Yan suggested go-karting, or perhaps horseback riding.

"Okay! Okay!"

Mentioning go-karts, Chen Shanni's eyes instantly lit up, and she couldn't wait to try it out in person.

Compared to Chen Shanni's high spirits, Shen Yan's mood became particularly complicated, just because Hao Anqi was born exactly one day after him, and the two had previously agreed to celebrate their birthdays together.

To wait until midnight to send each other the most sincere blessings.

Unfortunately...

In the end, that promise was never fulfilled.

"Shen Yan, what are you thinking about?"

Noticing that the man was somewhat distracted, Chen Shanni asked curiously.

"Nothing, go to sleep early!"

Shen Yan planted a kiss on the back of her neck, and smelling that faint, maidenly fragrance, the sorrow in his heart vanished; Chen Shanni smiled sweetly and said goodnight to him.

Then she closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth and peace of this moment.

Not a word was spoken all night!

The next day during the break, Yu Youwei @everyone in the class group: "Hello everyone, after discussion by the class committee, it has been decided that this month's team-building will be on March 22nd at the Sunset Orange Sea. Considering the current lack of class funds, it is tentatively decided that everyone should pay one hundred first, and any surplus will be used as class funds."

A long string of "received" followed below.

No one held any opposing opinions, not even those students from poor families.

After all, for a two-day, one-night trip with so many activities, this fee was already quite fair.

Chen Shanni's face turned bitter, as the 22nd happened to be Shen Yan's birthday: "Shen Yan, what should we do now? I still wanted to celebrate your birthday for you."

"Hey! A birthday is just a formality; we can celebrate it separately later, it's the same," Shen Yan said nonchalantly.

Wu Yueer, however, said with a giggle: "Shanni, you should just let Shen Yan bully you more; that's definitely better than celebrating a hundred birthdays."

Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but chuckle wickedly, while Chen Shanni's face turned bright red; she bypassed Shen Yan to hit her, and the two girls started brawling.

The scene of their bird-like chirping and laughter was a beautiful sight to behold.

It drew frequent glances from their classmates.

Getting up and walking to the front row, Shen Yan took three hundred yuan out of his pocket and placed it in front of the class treasurer, Luo Qiqi.

"This is the class fee for me, Yueer, and Shanni; please record it."

A flash of complexity crossed Luo Qiqi's eyes, then she smiled and said: "Shen Yan, are you free tomorrow morning? Youwei and I are going to the Sunset Orange Sea to discuss the team-building with the boss; could you help us keep an eye on things? We two girls don't have much experience."
