Chapter 81

Ming Yu’s birthday.
Who was the first person concerned about this matter?
Was it Xi Ze?
Wrong!
It must be Ming Xiaoyu’s fans!
As early as a week before his birthday, Ming Xiaoyu’s Muse fan forums ushered in a wave of ups and downs. Numerous fans hadn’t registered at Muse’s official website because they shrugged off the hardships. It was just before Ming Xiaoyu’s birthday that they broke through the horrifying 100 questions and answers to become a full member.
The reason they wanted to become full members was because only regular members could join other fans to participate in the ‘Ming Xiaoyu Adult Ceremony Celebration.’
At midnight the same day, Ming Yu was carefully sleeping but his fan forum was fully blowing up. All sorts of ‘Happy birthday Ming Xiaoyu, you finally reached adulthood. Let’s eat mushroom cake to celebrate’ could be seen when scrolling through the forum.
This time, there was no moderator who shouted ‘banned’ and rushed to delete posts. Everyone was happily celebrating Ming Yu’s birthday. There were many fans who uploaded photos of cakes they made, using chocolate sauce to write on the cake—
Wish: Ming Yu, happy birthday!
Ming Yu’s heart was touched when he woke up and saw the small gifts from the fans. He took the time to reply to several posts and finally made a post at the top of the forum.
【 Ming Yu: Thank you for your blessings, thank you for your company. I will pick 10 fans who reply to this post before midnight tonight and give then a signed poster. This is a good morning kiss of love. Rest early and don’t be tired ^＿^】
The fan forum immediately exploded because of this post and Ming Yu rushed to get up. He freshened up and headed downstairs where Luo Ru was waiting.
Once he got into the car, Luo Ru said with a smile,
Happy birthday Xiaoyu!

Ming Yu smiled and nodded.
Thank you, Sister Luo.

Ming Yu’s birthday in his previous life was the same in this life, so he had nothing to adapt this. It was another adult ceremony, but it made him feel a little refreshed.
In the car, Ming Yu told Luo Ru about his post in the forum. Luo Ru said she would take care of the matter and Ming Yu didn’t have to worry.
The car was stuck in the crowded traffic for half an hour before finally making its way down the elevated road to Ruoshang Hall. Last week, Ming Yu had booked a table here and invited all the friends he made this year to eat.

Here you are, please go in.

The employee stopped in front of a box and bowed politely. Ming Yu thanked him with a smile and pushed open the door.
The moment the door opened, bang bang bang 
was heard.

Ming Xiaoyu, happy birthday!!!

Colourful streamers flew through the air, most of them falling on Ming Yu’s body. He laughed and pulled the coloured strips off his hair and clothing.

I guess this must be Brother Zhao’s idea.
Ming Yu looked at the crowd at the table and asked,
Brother Zhao, did you suggest for them to give me such a surprise?

Zhao Rui couldn’t help replying,
How did you know Xiaoyu?

The youth’s eyes flashed playfully after hearing these words. He gently coughed twice before saying very solemnly,
Because Brother Zhao, only you would have such a childish heart!

Zhao Rui,
…（┙>∧<）┙へ┻┻

Don’t think that you can bully people because today is your birthday!!
The guests that Ming Yu invited today were his old friends. From Wu Yuzhen and Liu Qian to the photographer Tao Qin and the founder of the name ‘Small Mushroom’, Zhu Kejia. they were all given invitations.
Most people were present, but some didn’t come.
For example, Du Ruo was attending a fashion show in France. There was no way for her to return home so she sent Ming Xiaoyu a beautiful gem collar as a birthday gift and to compensate for her absence.
Of course, Ming Xiaoyu wasn’t too familiar with people like Ding Bo and Shen Xiang and didn’t invite them.
As for Xi Ze? He wasn’t invited!
If Xi Ze was sitting in this box, everyone in the room (except Ming Yu) would feel uncomfortable and the atmosphere would be completely stiff.
Don’t doubt this man’s ability to make everyone respect him.
Many people had jobs the next day and Ming Yu’s meal was at lunch time. Therefore, only a few bottles of red wine were opened in order to not disturb people’s work in the afternoon.
Ming Yu was so caring towards his friends. He never expected them to be ungrateful! During this meal, six bottles of red wine were opened. At least two bottles went straight into Ming Xiaoyu’s stomach.
Ming Xiaoyu was eating a piece of lamb when Wu Yuzhen and Liu Qian came over. They smiled and said,
You are finally an adult and can drink wine. Ming Xiaoyu, I wish you a happy birthday. Let’s drink to today and every year after today!

Ming Xiaoyu,
…?＿?

They actually just wanted to get him drunk…
Ming Xiaoyu was eating some baby cabbages when Zhu Kejia came over with a crystal mushroom necklace. She said,
Since you are 18 years old, you are an adult.  Small Mushroom, I specifically found someone to make you a custom crystal mushroom. Doesn’t it look like you? Come come, toast with your Sister Zhu!

Ming Xiaoyu,
…=皿=

It didn’t look good!
Ming Yu had just sent Zhu Kejia away when Tao Qin came. Once Tao Qin left, it was Fei Sixin! It was hard to get away. He fished the wine with Fei Sixin and sent her away. Ming Yu hadn’t regained his stability yet when he looked up and—
Damn it! Brother Yuan, A’Zhao, Old Chen and A’Xue came in a group!
Ming Xiaoyu,
…（/=＿=）/～┴┴

What were they doing skipping class?
Fortunately, Ming Xiaoyu’s ability to hold his liquor was still good. It was the first time he drank so much wine, despite being red wine. However, after drinking too bottles, he only needed to go to the toilet a few times. He wasn’t too tipsy and just felt slightly dizzy.
As Ming Yu walked into the bathroom, he stood in the doorway for a moment. He seemed to be remembering his first meeting with a certain man. Behind him, Zhao Rui gently poked him in the back and asked,
Why aren’t you going in Xiaoyu? Oh, are you remembering how you gave Xi Ze toilet paper here?

Ming Xiaoyu,
…

Master Fei who entered after them,
（°口°；）!!!

He seemed to have heard something incredible…
In the afternoon, Ming Yu, Zhao Rui and Luo Ru stood at the door of Ruoshang Hall to send away all the guests. Before leaving, everyone blessed Ming Yu with a happy birthday and gave him a hug.
However, after his daughter left, Old Fei stayed behind and looked at Ming Yu strangely. Ming Xiaoyu was confused and couldn’t understand what was happening. This child, he drank a lot today. He wasn’t completely drunk but he hadn’t sobered up from the wine.
Before leaving, Old Fei gazed meaningfully at Ming Yu and exclaimed,
Xiaoyu, you are a man!

Blank-faced Ming Xiaoyu,
…（⊙＿⊙）?

Giving Xi Ze toilet paper, wasn’t this a man?
Afterwards, Zhao Rui and Luo Ru helped Ming Yu bring the birthday presents to the car and then sent Ming Yu home. On the way, Zhao Rui proposed to go karaoke with Ming Yu at night. He could also call some friends. But Ming Yu shook his head and refused.
Zhao Rui asked with surprised,
Xiaoyu, do you have something to do at night?

Ming Yu shook his head and explained.
Brother Zhao, I drank quite a lot today. My head is still a little dizzy and I want to have a good rest. Thank you for your kindness.

Zhao Rui didn’t think much of it. Then Luo Ru looked at Ming Yu through the rearview mirror and asked,
Xiaoyu, should I go upstairs with you to make hangover soup? This is the first time you drank so much wine, even though it is red wine. You must pay attention to it.

Ming Yu chuckled and shook his head.
No Sister Luo. I just need a little rest.

At the Muse apartments, Zhao Rui and Luo Ru helped Ming Yu carry all the gifts upstairs and then left first. It was around 5 o’clock in the evening. Ming Xiaoyu opened the pile of gifts in the living room.
Putting aside Zhu Kejia, other people sent more traditional gifts. Only Sister Zhu’s one was bad. She took the opportunity to encourage others by placing the crystal mushroom necklace around his neck while he was drinking.
Ming Yu thought of this and hurriedly got up to take the necklace off. He had just stepped out of the gift pile when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
His feet paused and then Ming Yu realized who it was. He couldn’t help his lips curving upwards as he walked briskly towards the door. He opened it, smiled at the person outside and joked,
Xi Ze, I have waited two months. What adult gift are you going to give me?
