"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
The living room lights were turned off. Birthday candles were lit.
Hua Meimei sang Happy Birthday to Fei Chenfeng.
In the warm candlelight, Fei Chenfeng's eyes were faintly watery.
Celebrating his birthday with Hua Meimei for the first time made up for a regret in Fei Chenfeng’s youth.
"Happy birthday, Chenfeng." Hua Meimei gave the prepared gift to Fei Chenfeng.
"Thank you, Meimei." Fei Chenfeng took the gift and put it on the table.
They blew out the candles together and Fei Chenfeng turned on the lights again.
"I want to see what gift you gave me." Fei Chenfeng gently opened the package.
It is a very exquisite dark blue tie.
The fabric is exquisite and the color is like the starry sky at night.
"I've never given a gift to a boy, so I have no experience. Please don't despise me." Hua Meimei smiled embarrassedly.
Fei Chenfeng stroked the tie with his slender fingers. He would like anything she gave him.
But he felt a little lost in his heart.
Because he is a doctor, he usually wears a white coat at work and wears casual clothes after get off work.
I only wear a suit occasionally when attending a banquet.
He only wears this tie a few times a year.
He knew it was a gift that Blossomberry hadn't put much thought into choosing.
"Meimei, you have given gifts to boys before." He put away his tie and looked at her quietly.
She blinked, feeling a little flustered. She said she didn't give the boy a gift because she was Zhang Zhenzhen.
The original owner Hua Meimei gave it to her once.
It was when I was in the third year of junior high school.
In the winter of his third year in junior high school, Fei Chenfeng had his birthday, and Hua Meimei secretly put a gift in his desk drawer.
It's a kabbalin.
Hua Meimei also put a small card in the gift box.
——Your voice is so beautiful, like the notes played on a piano.
He said, "You gave me a kabarin."
Hua Meimei nodded: "The gift I gave back then was not signed. How did you know it was from me?"
"The words you wrote on the card gave you away. I recognize your handwriting."
Because when she had a crush on him, he also had a crush on her, so he naturally paid attention to many things about her, including her handwriting.
"Since you recognized me, why didn't you ask me at the time?"
He smiled helplessly. "You were always hiding from people back then, afraid to talk to them. If I went to check with you, I'd be afraid I'd scare you."
He knows the pain of secret love and the shyness of not being able to express love.
So I accepted the gift silently and have kept it until now.
Hua Meimei hummed and fell silent. She could also understand the bitterness of secret love.
I was also very touched by Fei Chenfeng's silent protection of Hua Meimei back then.
If the original owner were still alive, their reunion would probably rekindle the spark of love.
Although she is not a real Huameimei, the crazy beating heart in her body and the feeling of being loved still hit her soul.
At certain moments, she would even vaguely feel that she seemed to like Fei Chenfeng as well.
He is so gentle, so beautiful, so outstanding, and so handsome that it is hard not to be moved by him.
But she knew that those were the memories and feelings of the original owner's body, not hers.
Hua Meimei said, "You were the most handsome boy in school back then, and there were so many girls who had a crush on you. I was just an insignificant one among them."
I don’t know who spread the news that she had a crush on him, otherwise this secret would have been buried in Hua Meimei’s heart for a long time.
He shook his head and looked at her seriously. "Meimei, I don't care what other girls are like. At that time, I only paid attention to you. You were the only one I saw in my eyes. You were not the insignificant one. You were my whole world when I first fell in love."
“…” Hua Meimei was stunned.
Is he confessing his feelings?
It turns out that he liked berries when he was young?
Hua Meimei's secret love back then was not in vain. The person she had a crush on also liked him.
How great it would be if she were still alive to hear Fei Chenfeng’s words.
Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Meimei, why are you crying?" Fei Chenfeng felt a little distressed when he saw her tears falling. He stood up and walked to her side, picked up a tissue and gently wiped her tears.
She felt embarrassed, so she took the tissue from him and wiped it herself.
"I'm just so touched." She grinned to ease the awkwardness.
"Meimei is a sensitive girl." He half squatted down and looked up at her with a gentle smile on his face.
"It would have been great if you hadn't married Luo Jiuyu. I came back a step too late after all."
He said in a leisurely tone.
There was endless sadness in his words.
Hua Meimei paused wiping her tears and looked down at him.
There will always be many misses and regrets in life, and no one can escape them.
"I'm sorry..." She didn't know why, but her heart was filled with guilt.
How she wished that it was the original Hua Meimei who was alive now, instead of her, Zhang Zhenzhen, who had taken over her place.
She was infected by his emotions and felt very sad.
"Why do you want to say sorry?" Fei Chenfeng asked softly.
"I... I'm afraid I can't like you anymore..." Hua Meimei said softly.
Her eyes were red.
His eyes were filled with sad gray, and he was silent for a while.
Hua Meimei clenched the tissue in her hand even tighter. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat seemed blocked and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Outside the window, the night deepens, and the neon lights of the city flicker, but they cannot shine into this house full of sorrow.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes soft and solemn, "Meimei, you didn't do anything wrong to me. It was my fault. When you liked me the most, I didn't have the courage to express my feelings. When I came back to find you, you were already married."
Hua Meimei was stunned for a moment, her mind going blank.
Tears were about to flow out, but he lowered his head and let them flow, not wanting her to see.
"Chen Feng...you deserve better. You shouldn't waste your time on me." She turned her head away, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, it's fine for us to just be friends before you get divorced. I won't cause you any trouble." Fei Chenfeng raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears and tried hard to force a smile.
Hua Meimei turned back and looked at him again. She knew he had just cried.
He had beautiful eyes. When they first met, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but she later learned they were just for decoration and he wasn't nearsighted.
She wanted to say something to comfort him, but the door was pushed open.
They were all stunned; the door was not locked.
But if someone outside has something to say, they will usually knock on the door, but this person was not afraid at all and opened the door directly.
Luo Jiuyu had originally just been giving it a try, but he hadn't expected the door to actually open. If he knocked, the person who would open it would definitely be the owner of the house, Fei Chenfeng, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist punching him.
He stood at the door, watching Fei Chenfeng squatting in front of Hua Meimei. The atmosphere between the two was very ambiguous.
"Meimei, come home with me." Luo Jiuyu said almost gritting his teeth.
