Lu Cheng was teleported to a simple courtyard.
The yard is not big, but it is kept very clean.
In the middle is a house with green bricks and red tiles, and a row of colorful sunflowers are planted under the eaves.
A breeze blew, and the petals of the sunflowers swayed gently in the wind, as if welcoming this guest from afar.
The moment he saw the sunflowers, tears welled up in Lu Cheng's eyes.
Xiaoxing likes sunflowers very much. She thinks sunflowers are small but very tough, just like her and her brother. Now seeing these vibrant sunflowers, it is like seeing Xiaoxing again.
At this time, Achen pushed the door open and came out. With a bright smile on her face, she greeted him warmly: "Brother Lu Cheng, welcome to my home."
Her eyebrows are curved, and when she smiles, her eyes seem to be filled with stars, and her eyes are bright.
Why didn't you recognize her then?
Apart from her appearance, she looks so much like Xiaoxing.
Lu Cheng's vision blurred, and he asked cautiously, "Xiao...Achen, can I hug you?"
Achen stood there without moving, still with a smile on his face, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the smile was almost unsustainable.
She blinked away the tears.
Seeing that she hadn't moved, Lu Cheng knew she was worried about something, so he explained, "You look a lot like my deceased sister. Seeing you is like seeing her, so I thought...it's okay if you don't want to."
Ah Chen's eyes were moved. "So that's how it is... Then I can give you a small hug on her behalf."
After saying that, she rushed forward and hugged Lu Cheng tightly, burying her head in his chest.
Lu Cheng also raised his hands and hugged Achen. It was not until this moment that he realized that Achen's figure was similar to Xiaoxing's, both very thin.
Xiaoxing was only 11 years old when he died, and Achen looked about 11 years old too.
There were so many coincidences, why did he ignore them before?
Lu Cheng's tears fell on Achen's clothes, and he also felt his chest wet with tears.
The brother and sister hugged each other quietly.
After a long time, Achen took the initiative to let go of him. Her eyes were a little red, but there were no tears.
Ah Chen pulled him towards the house and said, "I bought a strawberry cake, but I can't finish it by myself. Can you help me eat it?"
Lu Cheng was pulled into the house by her.
The furnishings in the room were simple, and there was an uncut strawberry cake on the table.
Achen took the knife to cut the cake. Lu Cheng was worried that she would hurt her hand, so he snatched the knife from her hand and said, "Let me cut it."
He used to cut the birthday cake.
Achen then held up her chin and looked at him. Lu Cheng cut a piece of cake with lots of strawberries and handed it to Achen.
Achen took it with a smile: "Thank you."
Lu Cheng cut himself another small piece and enjoyed the cake with Xiaoxing. He still didn't like cake, but he thought today's cake was better than any other.
Achen had never been as happy as she was today, and the smile never disappeared from her face.
After eating the cake, Lu Cheng looked around the room and found a calendar hanging on the wall. The calendar was too conspicuous in this simple room.
He checked before walking over.
There are many marks on the calendar, but the marks follow a certain pattern.
There are almost no markings on the front date, except that the date on it is crossed out, and occasionally there will be a little mark such as "I had a very happy day today and ate delicious strawberry cake."
But starting more than half a year ago, the number of marks started to increase.
"After meeting the owner of the star pendant today, I finally understood what I have been holding on to."
"Today I recalled some things from the past, and suddenly ten years seemed like a long time."
"Hey, when can I collect a hundred Night Demon Hearts?"
"Sister Xiao Meng treated me to a big dinner today, and I met the owner of the star pendant again. He has a sister by his side. Will that sister be the one who will make him happy?"
"Little Star's birthday is coming soon, but there's no one to eat strawberry cake with her."
"Sister Xiao Meng was so strange today. She suddenly asked me a very strange person."
“…”
The words on the calendar are densely written in small letters, and the last mark is yesterday.
"It's...my brother's birthday soon. I hope he stops missing Xiaoxing and pursues his own happiness."
Seeing this, Lu Cheng's eyes turned red again.
It turns out that Xiaoxing recognized him so long ago.
Half a year ago...
It should be the time when Meng Qingyin invited them to eat cake.
Before this, Xiaoxing probably had no memory of the past. Perhaps it was only after seeing the star pendant that she began to recall her past memories in bits and pieces.
But why do we need to collect a hundred Night Demon Hearts?
Ten years...what does that mean?
Seeing him stop in front of the calendar, Achen didn't hide it, but said: "This is something I wrote down when I was bored. It has no practical meaning."
Lu Cheng didn't ask any further questions, but smiled knowingly and changed the subject.
Xiaoxing must have a reason for not recognizing him. He will never act impulsively until he finds out the reason completely.
It was not until the evening that Lu Cheng left Achen's house.
But he was no longer sad. As long as he knew Xiaoxing was here, he could come to see Xiaoxing anytime.
And his birthday is in three days. He hasn't celebrated his birthday since Xiaoxing passed away, because that day is also the day Xiaoxing left him.
But it doesn't matter now. He decided to hold a birthday party and invited Achen to attend.
