Chapter 30: 230. Birthday

At this time, the crew was in a small county town in the north. The movie crew had booked all the rooms of the only building that could be called a hotel here.

Wei Changfeng blinked mysteriously and said, “Have a guess.”

Qi Le’an rolled on the bed and looked as if he sank into a state of torpor, “Wei Sama, tell me! I really can’t guess it with my IQ!”

Wei Changfeng chuckled and shook his head, “You didn’t even have a guess…”

Qi Le’an glanced at Wei Changfeng resentfully.

Wei Changfeng walked over, kissed Qi Le’an, and looked down at him.

Qi Le’an lay on the bed and was less than 10 cm away from Wei Changfeng who was bending and supporting him. The two people’s breaths were sprayed on each other and they both felt the steaming breath.

Qi Le’an couldn’t help but desire him. After having been filming for so long, the two of them never had had sex with each other.

Wei Sama was so strict and tired that Qi Le’an couldn’t have an erection…

At that thought, Qi Le’an glanced at Wei Changfeng with resentment.

Wei Changfeng couldn’t help but smile when he saw this expression. He kissed Qi Le’an’s nose and whispered something beside him.

Qi Le’an’s eyes widened.

He muttered, “Really?”

Wei Changfeng nodded gently.

Qi Le’an looked at Wei Changfeng, unable to express his feelings in words. He didn’t know how Wei Changfeng managed to apply for another country’s citizenship during these two busy months so that they could get married and receive legal protection.

Most importantly, Qi Le’an knew why Wei Changfeng did this.

If they were officially married, they could go for adoption.

Qi Le’an’s eyes gradually became wet. Wei Changfeng kissed his eyes and said gently, “I have done these not to make you cry.”

Qi Le’an couldn’t help but sniff.

“Why didn’t I find out that you were a little cry-baby before?” Wei Changfeng sighed and said a little helplessly.

However, he knew that the reason why Qi Le’an’s eyes brimmed with tears was that he was sensitive. He had utter innocence and he was often touched by many small things.

“When we finish shooting, we can go to hold the wedding ceremony and apply for the adoption.”

Wei Changfeng lay beside Qi Le’an, discussing their future.

“The government probably won’t sanction the application for adopting girls, but Brother Sheng and my sister both agreed to adopt Little Orange. We can pick Little Orange up and raise her and An Cheng by then.”

This was what Wei Changfeng and his sister had discussed that day and he asked them to adopt Little Orange for him.

Qi Le’an lay on his side and looked at Wei Changfeng, “Does An Cheng know about this?”

Wei Changfeng shook his head and said, “I’ll tell him about it when the final results are out. Didn’t you agree to climbing today?”

There was no place exciting around the small county town. They only heard the locals say that there was a mountain in the suburbs and there was a temple with a large number of pilgrims on the mountain.

Qi Le’an looked at his phone and said, “It’s time to set out. I’m so touched by your gift and I’m unable to get up!”

Wei Changfeng sat up with a smile and reached out to pull Qi Le’an up. Qi Le’an held Wei Changfeng’s hand and the two of them got up from bed happily.

The two of them took An Cheng and the assistant to have lunch in the hotel dining room, then leisurely drove to the mountain. The assistant was the driver, and An Cheng wanted to take the front passenger seat with rapture. Qi Le’an and Wei Changfeng happily sat at the back seats together and the four of them set out in a good mood.

The temple which had many worshipers also had few visitors on weekdays. The four of them did not see any cars on the way to the temple on the mountain. When they arrive at the temple, it was even emptier.

The assistant helped An Cheng put on a sweater while Qi Le’an was only wearing a fleece so he felt a little cold when being blown by the wind. At the end of November, the wind was soughing and the trees were shedding their leaves on the mountain. The four of them had just gotten out of the car when a strong wind blew.

The hat on Qi Le’an’s head was blown off and it fell a few meters away. Just as he was about to pick it up, another gust of wind came. The hat slipped down the hillside and fell in the forest, disappearing.

Qi Le’an didn’t know what to say.

It was just bought by Wei Sama for him in the summer! And it was in a couple style! Even if An Cheng wanted to wear it, he was reluctant to give it to him!

Wei Changfeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Forget it. Come back soon. I will buy another one for you.”

Qi Le’an stood on the hillside and looked down, unwilling to give up his hat!

Wei Changfeng helplessly took him over and dragged him into the temple. He said, “The wind is so strong. What should I do if you are blown away when you stand there?”

The assistant on the side had already learned to be dumb in front of the two of them. On the other hand, An Cheng looked at Qi Le’an with approval and nodded.

Wei Changfeng teased, “Look, I’m less worried about An Cheng than I’m about you!”

Qi Le’an snorted, shook off Wei Changfeng’s hand and walked at a rapid pace into the temple.

Wei Changfeng blinked at An Cheng and shrugged his shoulders to make a helpless expression. An Cheng said like a little adult, “Go and chase him. It’s his birthday today!”

Wei Changfeng smiled, “Then, can you play with the assistant?”

An Cheng naturally nodded.

Wei Changfeng achieved his goal and went into the temple without them to look for his lover.

There was not a single person outside the temple who sold incenses or greeted worshipers. Although the temple was not big, there was still an altogether different world inside. Qi Le’an didn’t see anyone when he walked in the temple. He regretted entering it alone and felt it a slightly spooky.

Coincidentally, another gust of wind passed. He put his hands in his pockets and was hesitating whether to go back to find someone else when he suddenly felt his shoulder being patted.

In that instant, the hairs on the back of Qi Le’an’s neck prickled.

His mind was filled with all kinds of legendary stories of ghostly presences and every story reminded him not to look back easily.

At this moment, he felt something blowing into his neck.

Qi Le’an closed his head and turned around, stretching out his hand and being about to shout, but his hand was instantly grabbed!

Wei Changfeng’s laughter was heard. Qi Le’an looked at Wei Changfeng angrily and shouted, “You really gave me a nasty shock! Don’t frighten me like this please!”

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, “Who told you to run around and why are your hands so cold?”

As he said this, he was about to take off his suit and put it on Qi Le’an.

When they changed clothes before going out, Qi Le’an clearly saw that Wei Changfeng was inadequately dressed for the weather. At this time, he didn’t want Wei Sama to catch cold and he said, “No, I don’t want it.”

He looked around again and muttered, “But this place is really grim. I haven’t seen anyone for long.”

Wei Changfeng was stunned and asked, “But someone has just walked over?”

Qi Le’an was speechless.

“Don’t scare me!” Qi Le’an was completely in a panic, “If you scare me silly and I couldn’t perform anymore, you’ll stand to lose!”

Wei Changfeng burst into laughter.

He held Qi Le’an’s hand and used his body to warm his lover, saying, “Okay, I won’t scare you. Since it’s so cold, who will be stupid enough to stand there? There should be someone if we walk inside.”

Qi Le’an thought about it, feeling that it made sense and he followed Wei Changfeng inside.

After walking through a forest and passing by a few censers, they finally saw the real temple. They could see clear down the high threshold of the main palace into a few young monks sitting in front of them and knocking on wooden fishes in Buddhism.

The two of them walked through the cloister. There were still a simple mural on the wall. The mural was colored and covered by a glass shield. Qi Le’an couldn’t understand it after watching for long.

On the other hand, Wei Changfeng looked at it with interest and told Qi Le’an that it was the story of Shakyamuni sacrificing himself to feed the eagle.

The two of them entered the main palace. There were only a few monks from the temple without any pilgrim. Maybe they had not seen any tourists for some days, everyone smiled at them kindly and gave up the front seats to them.

After being reincarnated, Qi Le’an did not practice any religion. He felt that all the Buddha and gods in the world perhaps existed. No matter whether they were from the East or the West, these gods were protecting those religious men.

Therefore, when he went to a temple, he would worship the Buddha. When he went to a church, he would say Amen in his heart and thank God for everything that He brought him.

Wei Changfeng went to another place to buy the incenses and handed three of them to Qi Le’an. The two of them ignited the incenses on the oil lamp in front of the Buddha, bowed before it respectfully, thrust the incenses into the censor, and then knelt on the cattail hassocks together.

Qi Le’an felt like he was getting married with Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng also felt it. He looked at Qi Le’an first and then at the Buddha with a smile in his eyebrows.

The Buddha looked solemn and his eyes were full of amiability and wisdom as he watched all living creatures. Everything seemed to be hidden in his smile.

Qi Le’an genuflected and kowtowed solemnly and stood up with Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng took out some money from his pocket and stuffed it into the offertory box. The voice of a child came from behind the two. Qi Le’an turned his head and saw that it was indeed An Cheng chased by the assistant.

The main palace, which was originally quiet before, suddenly became noisy. Qi Le’an was afraid that these monk would be angry, but he didn’t expect a young monk to take an apple for An Cheng.

An Cheng glanced at Qi Le’an out of habit. Qi Le’an nodded and then An Cheng just took it. Then he bowed and thanked the monk.

The young monk said “Namo Amitabha” with a smile, then he turned to Qi Le’an and Wei Changfeng and said, “Gentlemen, you can pray and draw divination sticks there.”

Qi Le’an had rarely been to any tourist spots, but he also knew that no one would take the initiative to talk with tourists in such a place. After hearing that, he curiously glanced at the place where the young monk pointed at and indeed saw a table with a holder with sticks in it.

Behind the table was a big monk. In Qi Le’an’s eyes, the big monk smiled kindly.

An Cheng had become quiet. It seemed that he knew that he had reached a place where he shouldn’t speak in a loud voice. There was a sense of coldness in the slightly dilapidated temple. He ran over and held Qi Le’an’s hand.

The assistant looked around as if he didn’t want to stay here any longer. He glanced at An Cheng and walked out alone.

Wei Changfeng rubbed An Cheng’s head and said to Qi Le’an, “Let’s go and take a look.”

Qi Le’an looked at the table, feeling perturbed and said in a low voice, “Forget it. When I look at it, I feel…”

The forbidden area of Buddhism was still solemn and Qi Le’an didn’t finish his sentence.

Wei Changfeng smiled, “It’s okay, let’s go and have a try.”

Seeing that Wei Changfeng was interested in it, Qi Le’an also felt that it was not a big deal. He held An Cheng’s hand and went there with Wei Sama.
