Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Birthday.

Ai Jia walked out of Han Lian's room an hour later.Li Yunxi was still seated outside with his head buried in his hands sinking deep in his thoughts.

"Are you okay?"Ai Jia asked startling him out of his reverie.

"Yes I'm alright. Can I talk to her?"

"She's asleep but you can write a note and leave it there."

"Okay. Can I see the check up results?"Li Yunxi requested.

"Come to my office after you're done."

"Okay,"Li Yunxi bowed respectfully and went inside the room. Han Lian was already sleeping like Ai Jia said. She looked calm and peaceful unlike when she was awake.

Meanwhile in Ai Jia's office,Gu Shan was impatiently waiting for his uncle to return. He wanted to disappear out of sight - particularly from Li Yunxi's sight.

"Should we go?"Gu Shan asked impatiently immediately his uncle walked in.

"Why are you so impatient you brat?"

Ai Jia placed the medical file on the desk,took off his lab coat,picked a long black trenchcoat that was hanged beside the shelves and put it on. He then wrapped a wool scarf around his neck and walked over to open the door for the guest at the door.

Gu Shan was irritated seeing Li Yunxi again. He hated how the guy was all over the place.

Ai Jia gave him his mother's medical file to have a look at it because he knew even if he asked his mother about the details she wouldn't open up claiming she didn't want to worry him so he could only access her results through Ai Jia.

"What date is today?"Ai Jia asked his nephew with a mysterious smile.

"December 1st?"Gu Shan replied smiling sheepishly.

"You still haven't figured out why I invited you here?"

Gu Shan shook his head .

"I feel sad hearing that from you,"Ai Jia said clutching his heart and pretended to be offended.

Gu Shan studied his uncle for a while racking his brains trying to think why his uncle made that day sound like it was a special day and he finally realized it.

"Oh it's your birthday! I'm sorry I forgot,"Gu Shan shouted excitedly and Li Yunxi almost dropped the file in his hands out of astonishment.

"My dear nephew you've finally remembered."

"Then let's go and celebrate it,"Gu Shan said getting up from his seat excitedly.

"Yunxi ,do you have plans after this?"Ai Jia asked turning around to face Li Yunxi.

"In the evening yes."

"It's still noon so can you join us in celebrating my birthday?"

Li Yunxi looked at Gu Shan with uncertainty as if asking for permission from him.

"Yeah he can join us. It's your birthday after all you can invite whoever you like,"Gu Shan spoke indifferently looking away from Li Yunxi.

"Then I'd love to join you."

The trio left the office and walked outside towards the parking lot where a sleek black car was parked. Li Yunxi hesitated for a moment afraid that his poor ass would make the car dirty. He was however shoved out of his trance when Ai Jia ushered him to enter the car. He occupied the backseat while the two occupied the front seats. The seats were pretty comfortable and his dark eyes wandered around the car's interior examining the seats' appealing designs. Never in his life did he imagine he would step inside such a car. As they hit the road,Ai Jia activated the heating device in the car bringing about a warm, cozy and comfortable atmosphere in the car. Li Yunxi felt like he had been reborn in a world where everything was wonderful.

The car's tires came to a halt on the parking lot of a lavish restaurant. They immediately got off the car and went inside the restaurant whose interior view was breathtaking. Ai Jia had reserved a table for four at the restaurant - near the window where they could watch the view of snowflakes falling gracefully on the snow covered ground.

Gu Shan and Ai Jia settled beside each other while Li Yunxi sat across from them. They each ordered the food of their own choice .

"Uncle, should I prepare a cake for you later so we can sing the birthday song properly?"

"I already prepared one for my self,"Ai Jia said smiling proudly.

Li Yunxi felt envious watching the happy interaction between the two. The only person he would have that type of bond with - his father- was already gone. He died in a car accident a few years ago.

"Yunxi are you enjoying the meal?"Ai Jia asked shifting his gaze towards Yunxi,his smile never leaving his face.

"Yes,"Li Yunxi confirmed with a polite smile. Even when it was his birthday, when he was supposed to care about himself Ai Jia still cared about others. It felt wonderful when Li Yunxi thought about it.

"This time I was impatient. I couldn't wait till your birthday so we could celebrate together."

"It's fine my birthday is far away anyway."

"December 15th isn't that far,"Ai Jia argued. They continued arguing- little did they know Li Yunxi was silently inscribing the details of whatever they were saying in his beautiful mind.

It was already evening when they finished their birthday party.

"Doctor I'm really grateful for inviting me to your birthday but I have to go. I have work,"Li Yunxi said politely.

"Don't worry I'll drop you."

"No need. I don't want to trouble you. Besides you have to return to the hospital right?"

"Then I'll see you next time."

"What about you brat? Are you leaving too?"

"Not yet. I have to buy you a present otherwise you will taunt me in front of my mom."

"What are you saying? I've never done that. You're ruining my reputation,"Ai Jia gazed at Li Yunxi to confirm whether he had heard that and Li Yunxi only gave a slight smile in response,bid them farewell and left.
