Wei Sama, Let’s Stuff Them with Dog Food

49. Birthday Party

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Wei Chang Feng on the other side of the phone went silent for a while, and then he said, “Okay.”

Qi Le An said nothing, but his eyes were red.

With Wei Chang Feng was a smart mam, it was not difficult for him to guess what Qi Le An was talking about. Qi Le An didn’t mean to take advantage of Wei Chang Feng’s power, it never occurred to him that he could use him.

But Wei Chang Feng asked him what his birthday wish was in such a soft voice on a tender night like this, so he blurted it out.

“Go back to sleep.” Wei Chang Feng’s voice was still so gentle, like a quiet lake under the moonlight.

Qi Le An was choked, “Good night…”

After hanging up the phone, Qi Le An could not fall asleep. He turned sideways and looked out the window. The pollution in the city was not as bad as recent years. Through the curtains, Qi Le An could still see a few stars in the sky.

Qi Le An just kept staring at the skyline gradually stained with warm color, the stars slowly giving way to the sunlight at dawn.

He suffered insomnia that night. He just stared at the sky in a daze until he got a call from Chen Shan.

“Happy birthday!” Chen Shan said, “Are you awake? Are you still in bed!”

“No, I’m answering your call during sleepwalking.” Qi Le An cleared his throat and replied.

“I’ll be at your place in half an hour! You have to scrub up before I come!” Chen Shan joked.

Qi Le An knew that Chen Shan was trying to cheer him up, so he said, “I will.”

Chen Shan nodded and hung up the phone.

Qi Le An got up, he made the bed and opened the window for fresh air before he went to the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror, Qi Le An couldn’t help feeling that he should cherish the days when he could still look so good after a sleepless night.

Chen Shan arrived Qi Le An’s in half an hour as he promised. However, to Qi Le An’s surprise, Chen Shan brought some food in thermos.

Qi Le An looked at the thermos and asked in surprise: “What is this?”

Chen Shan said calmly, “Breakfast for you.”

Qi Le An looked at the thermos and couldn’t help but lift the lid. It was a serve of longevity noodles with a round poached egg on top.

Qi Le An was dumbfounded and exclaimed, “You didn’t do this yourself, did you?”

Chen Shan suddenly said, “How is that possible! Me? Cooking? Just eat it already!”

Qi Le An felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart, obviously, Chen Shan cooked this for him and he rushed here after the phone call.

There was a pair of exquisite chopsticks in the bag. The chopsticks were made of ebony, which was not from small restaurants for sure.

Qi Le An sat by a small table in the apartment, “Thank you for doing this.”

“This is longevity noodles, you can’t break them in half while eating!” Chen Shan reminded him.

Qi Le An nodded, he took a bite of the egg and said, “It’s delicious, thank you for cooking.”

“I said it’s not me who cooked this!” Chen Shan pouted, but after a while, he added, “It’s my mom.”

Qi Le An was choked immediately.

He never expected that Chen Shan would ask his mother to make him a bowl of noodles!

With mixed feelings, Qi Le An finished the longevity noodles. Chen Shan was obviously relieved when he saw Qi Le An didn’t break even one noodle, “Good job, boy, I wish you a smooth journey ahead.”

This was the second blessing that Qi Le An had received for his birthday. He also had a bowl of longevity noodles, he could vaguely recall the last time he had longevity noodles was about a decade ago.

Qi Le An’s birthday party was at two in the afternoon, and it was a club under Glory’s name. The two went to the company for makeup, and then Chen Shan took Qi Le An to say hello to Mr. Wang from the cooperation department.

When Mr. Wang saw Chen Shan coming, his expression was not so good. Chen Shan had been giving Mr. Wang a hard time because of Qi Le An’s birthday party.

Chen Shan seeked revenge for the smallest grievance. He brought Qi Le An to see this Mr. Wang, and they didn’t leave his office until Mr. Wang promised he would call his friends to look for more opportunities for Qi Le An.

Qi Le An was a rising star now. People in the company were also polite when they met him. Some people who heard about it was his birthday had even prepared some small gifts. Qi Le An received these gifts and wrote down their names. He would return the politeness and the gifts one day.

Chen Shan put the in the trunk for him, he treated Qi Le An for a nice lunch before they headed to the birthday party.

The birthday party started at two o’clock, and fans had entered the venue around one. Glory didn’t went too far on this, they didn’t sell large quantities of tickets. Qi Le An took a sneak peek from the backstage, and the whole venue looked quite cozy with only forty or fifty fans.

Qi Le An was so moved by the fans who had spent so much money to attend his birthday party. He knew that these people were those die-hard fans. Seeing that there were many young students in the venue, he was somehow a bit guilty for he knew students didn’t have much money.

The fans had spent money on tickets, and they had prepared nice gifts for him. No wonder there were so many scolding people on the Internet. This didn’t feel right.

Fortunately, although the tickets were kind of pricy, the arrangement was quite fun. A lot of entertainment activities were arranged, and the interviews involved ten questions raised by the present fans. In his previous life, Qi Le An had never held a birthday party of this kind, so he was a little nervous.

“The game just now was so much fun! But are you ready for more fun, , now is the Q&A session! We will select ten lucky fans to ask questions, check your seat number now!”

The beautiful hostess smiled to the fans and raised her volume to stir up the atmosphere. The fans were still laughing and chatting about the game session just now and they started to scream on hearing about the Q&A session.

The staff brought a box full of the seat numbers, Qi Le An smiled and got up from the chair, he walked to the box, and put his hand in the box.

“Let’s see who is gonna be our first lucky fan… drum rolls…seat number 15!”

A scream came.

Qi Le An looked around, and a girl stood up with her mouth covered, trying to stifle the scream.

Qi Le An smiled at the girl. The girl blushed with excitement. A staff member handed the microphone to the girl. The hostess blinked and said, “It seems like we have our first lucky fan of the day. You should cherish this opportunity!”

The fan adjusted her breathing, and she said in a trembling voice, “This is such a nice surprise, I’m so lucky! Qi Le An, I like you so much. Happy birthday to you!”

Qi Le An smiled and said, “Thank you.”

The fans blushed again.

“This lovely fan gotta hurry up, there are still people waiting to ask An questions.” the hostess reminded the girl.

Qi Le An’s birthday party was only scheduled for an hour or so. Each fan only had two minutes to ask questions. Hearing the hostess’s reminder, the fan hurriedly asked, “I have watched every interview of yours. I know that you are currently filming a movie with Director Chen. I heard that Director Chen is a very strict director. How are you feeling so far, not too tired?”

“It seems that this fan really cares about our An. How is An going to answer this question?” said the hostess.

Qi Le An took the microphone and thought for a while, and said: “I don’t feel tired, on the contrary, I feel very fulfilled. Director Chen is such a great director, and the other actors in the crew are so accomplished. I have learned a lot from them.”

…

…

The Q&A session passed quickly. Many of the questions were about Qi Le An’s career rather than inquiring about his privacy, which made Qi Le An feel very warm. Finally it was the tenth fan’s turn and the seat number happened to be 21 was drawn.

“It just happens to be An’s birthday date!” The hostess smiled.

This lucky fan was is a girl with two ponytails. The girl had a very cute face. The girl’s first sentence was, “Happy birthday! Actually I am not only your fan, I am also a fan of Wei Chang Feng, so my question also relates to Wei Chang Feng.”

Hearing Wei Chang Feng’s name at his birthday party, Qi Le An’s face softened and glowed. The girl continued to ask, “Bothe of your recent works are in collaboration with Wei Chang Feng, are you guys close?”

The girl was very excited. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Qi Le An, obviously couldn’t wait to hear the answer. Although Qi Le An felt a bit shy , he still said: “Yes, as you all know, I’m also a fan of Wei Sama, and yes we have become close.”

Qi Le An could tell the girl was about to scream. He just wanted to add how much he had learned from Wei Chang Feng when he saw a staff member hurried forward and whispered something to the hostess.

The hostess was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a radiant glow of light on her face. Qi Le An didn’t know what happened, but the hostess said, “It’s no secret that our Wei Sama and An are close friends, as a matter of fact, Wei Sama has also prepared a special birthday gift for An!”

This was not on the rundown, Qi Le An was also taken aback, and the fans were even more elated. After the hostess said this, the lights in the venue suddenly went out. Qi Le An had a hunch about what was going to happen, but when he actually saw Wei Chang Feng coming out with the birthday cake, Qi Le An couldn’t help but get emotional.

He never thought that Wei Chang Feng would come in person, and the fans started to scream like crazy on seeing Wei Chang Feng. The hostess tried to calm the fans down for several times but to no avail. Wei Chang Feng had to signal the fans to be quiet when he walked on the stage.

In the candlelight, Wei Chang Feng said to Qi Le An, “Happy birthday, Little An.”

Tears brimmed Qi Le An’seyes. He looked at Wei Chang Feng’s eyes and said, “Wei Sama… I don’t know what to say.”

Wei Chang Feng smiled, and then said to the fans, “Let’s sing the happy birthday song together.”

Hearing that, the staff member played the music and everyone joined f Wei Chang Feng.

Wei Chang Feng looked at Qi Le An with a smile the whole time, and when he finished the song, a fan shouted, “Make a wish!”

Qi Le An put his hands together, he closed his eyes, and made the wish in his heart.

He blew out the candles on the cake and the lights in the venue were turned on again. Wei Chang Feng smiled and handed the knife to Qi Le An: “Cut the cake.”

The cake Wei Chang Feng brought on the stage was not the little cake Qi Le An saw in the backstage, it was a double-layered cake. The top layer was shaped like a small wooden horse with cream and chocolate, which was somewhat similar to the crystal wooden horse that Wei Chang Feng once gave Qi Le An.

“Let’s cut the cake together, shall we?” Qi Le An invited Wei Chang Feng.

Wei Chang Feng smiled and accepted the invitation, he took Qi Le An’s hand and cut the first slice of the birthday cake with him.

Qi Le An only felt that the hand that wrapped his own hand was so warm, and all of a sudden, all the cheers and screams around him seemed to have fade away, and the hostess’s voice had become so far away as well. At that moment, Qi Le An and Wei Chang Feng seemed to be the only ones existing in this big world.

The first slice of birthday cake was naturally for the birthday boy, and Qi Le An cut the second slice for Wei Chang Feng. Later, he personally cut the cake and handed them to the fans. Wei Chang Feng prepared a such a big cake that almost everyone could share the cake and the joy.

After they had cake, the hostess had arranged all the fans to take a group photo. Everyone did not expect to have such close contact with Qi Le An and Wei Chang Feng, they were so stoked about the photo and felt so glad that the bought the tickets!
