So I decided to translate this novel as it seemed very interesting. I am actually Chinese but not fluent and I am useless lmao, I can't read chinese but I can understand it a little bit. So it will be mainly MTL but also my personal understanding. Please also note that I'm not a Native English speaker so there will be of course (many) grammar errors. Please feel free to correct me! (if you want to help me proofread before posting you are welcomed!)
-------------------------------------
One day, at 6 or 7 in the evening, traffic in the city was at its busiest time. Everybody was trying to get on public transports to hurry home, eager to see their family in order to wash off their tiredness of the day.
Chu Yuntian was extremely bored and put his hand on his car window, looking a little impatient. It was in fact the busiest time for traffic but coincidentally or not, a car accident happened at the crossroads and everybody was blocked in the car, not able to enter nor exit.
"Wait for the police to come! We'll see who bumped into whom! I was driving well when you suddenly came out of nowhere!"
"Who the heck bumped into you? You were the one who suddenly changed lanes okay? Red light was about to light up and you still changed lanes? Didn't you see the line? Here, there is no need to, do you actually know how to drive?"
"You old geezers! Can't you move your car away before fighting? If you don't move your car, others can't leave."
"Here is a crime scene. Don't you know that you can't move anything on crime scenes?"
"Until this matter is solved, I'm not leaving! Look at how my car is damaged!"
The two drivers who were causing trouble really lacked logic [1]. The other driver decided to no longer talk, seeming to also know that it was useless to try to reason with this kind of person.
[1] "被两位肇事司机毫无逻辑地顶了" I can't seem to understand this sentence even with MTL. Feel free to help me!
The cars, in front and behind, kept pressing the horn, disturbing Chu Yuntian and making him want to close his car's window.
"You!! You!!! Aren't you Chu Yuntian? Oh my God!! Aren't you??" Chu Yuntian was about to close the window [2] when she suddenly screamed. Chu Yuntian dared to make sure that, at that moment, all the cars' horns were silent.
[2] "给摇上来" also don't know what it means lmao
When Chu Yuntian heard this, he knew that he was in deep trouble. He promptly stopped closing the window. The woman in the car next to him who was about to jump off of her car was unable to speak.
"Little sister don't shout! Speak quietly!" Since it was a traffic jam, if everyone discovered that he was there, it would be very difficult to escape.
In a split second, the woman got off of her car and jumped in front of Chu Yuntian.
"AAAA! It's really you! I really love you! I really love you with cc!! [3] Oh my f*cking God! I have to breathe I'm not coming over anymore!" The woman was standing next to the car window jumping and covering her heart. Tears of happiness were falling but at least, she was able to control the sound of it.
[3] I think that CC is the name of the group?
"It's me it's me, clever girl [4]. Don't be too excited, if I get discovered I cannot leave anymore" Chu Yuntian thought that it was really not exaggerated nor arrogant. Being in a vocal group, CC can be described as very popular all over China with their songs topping the charts. [6] They fully deserved the title of "Kings of Music".
[4] "乖了" it's a childish way to say that she's obedient
[5] "作为当□□唱组合" don't know what the spaces mean
[6] "传遍了街头巷尾" don't know how to translate this so I tried to write something similar
She got actually comforted by her idol! Moreover he was especially gentle!
"Idol, can you give me your autograph? Can we take a picture together? Is Li Qiran also in the car? Can I also have his autograph? I also love him so much!" the woman asked as she was trying to see what was in the car.
"He's not here, I'm alone. I don't have a pen, do you have one? I'll give you a sign." Chu Yuntian said as he was leaning forward, trying to block the woman's line of sight.
"OHHH! I have one! Wait for me, Idol!" When she finished talking, she went to her own car and grabbed a pen as well as her phone then went over again.
Chu Yuntian took the pen and signed for the woman, wanting to quickly end this idol-fan chance encounter.
The woman happily took the sign and then, took her phone out to take a picture with Chu Yuntian.
By the time Chu Yuntian had signed the autograph and taken N pictures with the woman, the cars started to slowly move up as the traffic police finally took care of the accident.
"The problem in front was resolved, I must go first but you also have to be careful." Chu Yuntian said as he smiled to the woman and slowly started to close his window.
"Idol you too! Idol I love you! Natural King, you have to be happy!" the woman said as Chu Yuntian's car was driving away. She then started to scream very loudly, regardless of anyone.
Inside his car, when Chu Yuntian heard her voice, the corner of his lips started to go up. [7] He touched the slightly raised part of his chest, silently said some words that, unfortunately, no one could see.
[7] "嘴角的弧度更大" having trouble translating this
-------------------------------------
When Chu Yuntian arrived home, Li Qiran had not arrived yet. He put the cake and the flowers on the coffee table then quickly ran to the kitchen.
Li Qiran and him formed CC four years ago, were together for two years before dating each other for two years and then bought the house together. [8] It was also two years ago that they slowly started to become popular and were able to become the actual must popular duo.
[8] "他跟李其然组成cc四年了，在一起两年，两年前两人在一起的时候买下了这所房子" I'm not sure about this one
Today was Li Qiran's birthday, not the one on his family's register but his real birthday. Everyone thought that the date on his family's register was his real birthday, but in order to save trouble, Li Qiran did not explain. There were very few people knowing his real birthday, and mostly were his close friends.
As his lover, Chu Yuntian of course enjoyed it. Like this, they could always spend Li Qiran's birthday together, unlike himself who always spent his birthday with his fans. Spending it with his fans was also not bad but sometimes, he just wanted to spend it with his lover, in their own world.
When Chu Yuntian finished preparing dinner, placed the flowers and the cake as well as the candles correctly, he looked at the time and estimated that Li Qiran will soon arrive.
He sat on the sofa, and not even five minutes later, the doorbell rang.
This is what they agreed upon this morning: Li Qiran will press the doorbell when he returns, and Chu Yuntian will open the door for him.
When Chu Yuntian heard the doorbell, he quickly placed the candles on the cake, lighted them then switched the lights off and rushed to the door.
He opened the door to a small seam while shouting "close your eyes, close your eyes!" to Li Qiran who was still outside.
"Why?" Li Qiran said while smiling helplessly but still doing as he was told.
"Now is not the time to ask, just close your eyes" Chu Yuntian said while laughing evilly.
Seeing that Li Qiran closed his eyes, Chu Yuntian promptly went to the door and guided Li Qiran inside.
When Li Qiran entered, he casually threw his bag on the floor and followed Chu Yuntian. He couldn't stop smiling, as Chu Yuntian was a very romantic person, and he knew that there will be some surprises.
When the two finally arrived at the dinner table, Chu Yuntian finally permitted Li Qiran to open his eyes.
When Li Qiran opened his eyes, he was a little bit shocked. It was not because of what he saw in front of him but rather he thought it was really ugly, too different from Chu Yuntian's usual surprises.
On the table was placed a dark tablecloth with candles. On both sides, there were red wine and steaks but also, in the nearest corner, a cake.
"Happy birthday!" Chu Yuntian said in his ear while hugging him from behind as he saw that Li Qiran was not talking.
"Pu, this is a surprise for you? Other than the cake which is slightly uglier, there isn't really anything surprising. [9] It's really different from your usual style."
[9] "除了蛋糕丑了点，真没见着什么惊喜" corrected thank you Ama_tsuki_Myu!
"It is..? You can see that I was the one who made the cake with just a glimpse.. right?" Even after losing face, Chu Yuntian still replied happily.
"Natural King, at least this 4 words are written well! However where did you do it? Not outside right?"
"Of course it's outside or else I wouldn't be able to do this cake today. First make a wish, the candles are about to die."
"You didn't get discovered?" Li Qiran, hearing what Chu Yuntian said, promptly asked while turning around.
"Don't worry, I didn't. It was at a close friend of mine, he will not tell a soul." Chu Yuntian said seriously.
"Quickly make a wish, it will really burn out."
Li Qiran was still a bit worried but Chu Yuntian was urging him so he had no choice but turned and closed his eyes to make a wish.
"In the future, don't do it anymore. If we get discovered, we will be done for." Li Qiran said with his eyes closed.
"Don't worry I will not. Concentrate on your wish!" Chu Yuntian said helplessly as Li Qiran is always worrying about their relationship getting discovered. Whenever and whether or not it will be disclosed is always a problem between the two, and making them unhappy.
"Done."
"Quickly blow the candles, it's burning out!" Chu Yuntian promptly reminded him.
The two of them blew at the same time the cake's candles.
"Sit down and try the steak I made today." Chu Yuntian said as he pulled the chair for Li Qiran and quickly went to his seat.
Drinking wine, eating steak with dim candles, the atmosphere between the two gradually went up.
"Like this, we dated for two years, I accompanied you on your birthday for four years, I still want to be with you, forever spending your birthday with you, can you agree/promise me?" Chu Yuntian said deeply as he took Li Qiran's hand.
Li Qiran didn't know if he was the one's drunk or the man in front of him. Chu Yuntian was only 24 but wasn't like the other youngsters. Instead he was more masculine [10]. If we say that an ordinary person was a cup of beer making people fart when finished drinking, then Chu Yuntian was like a glass of red wine lingering in memory. [11]
[10] "反而是一股子的男人味" can't translate this well
[11] "如果说普通人是一杯啤酒，喝完胀气。那他就像一杯红酒，令人回味无穷." LMAO I'm sorry can't translate this too well
At first, Li Qiran was attracted to Chu Yuntian's masculinity. He was not born gay; before being with Chu Yuntian, he actually had several girlfriends. But after having spent a long time with Chu Yuntian, he gradually grew attracted to him, not able to free himself.
"I promise you that we will always be together and that we will spend every of my birthday together." Li Qiran said seriously while locking eyes with Chu Yuntian.
Chu Yuntian smiled happily when hearing Li Qiran's words.
Li Qiran thought that the only time Chu Yuntian looked like his age was when he smiled to himself. In a silly and pure way.
"You promised! You can't go back on your words!" Chu Yuntian said as he laughed childishly.
His hand then went into his pocket and fished out a little box.
When Li Qiran saw the box, his heart started to palpitate.
"Don't you think that today isn't like a surprise? It's because the surprise is here." Chu Yuntian said as he showed the little box to Li Qiran, shaking it lightly.
Li Qiran truly was a little bit speechless. He didn't dare to speak up, afraid that it it will be too disappointing if it was not what he hoped for, but also, afraid that it will too much of a surprise if it was what he expected [12].
[12] "他不敢说话，害怕不是自己想的那样太失望，又害怕是他想的那样太惊喜." thank you again Ama_tsuki_Myu!
