May 14th is Wen Zhaonian's birthday. Strictly speaking, from the time the two met, this can definitely be considered the first birthday they could spend together.
The meanings are different.
So Li Tangyan had originally planned to give him a proper birthday celebration that day, but unexpectedly, Wen Zhaonian went to a neighboring city a week before his birthday.
The trip, which was originally scheduled to be completed in three days, was postponed again due to unforeseen circumstances.
So much so that two days before Wen Zhaonian's birthday, after Li Tangyan learned from him that she would not be able to return on time, she immediately became quite dejected.
So, that evening, Li Tangyan sighed countless times while watching the comedy variety show on TV.
Nearby, Yao Qing, who was clutching a bag of potato chips, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think we were watching some kind of horrific, melodramatic soap opera in the middle of the night."
"If you miss Wen Zhaonian, just go find him. He's in a neighboring city anyway, it won't take long."
Yao Qing was chewing potato chips with a loud crunching sound, and her voice was even a little muffled as she spoke.
However, Li Tangyan seemed to have been struck by her words, and her eyes lit up.
He then threw the pillow he was holding aside and prepared to run into the room the moment his toes touched the ground.
Behind her, Yao Qing clearly hadn't expected Li Tangyan to take her words seriously.
My hand trembled, and a few pieces fell out of the bag.
After pressing the pause button on the remote, he turned to the side and looked back at her: "Hey, you're not going to leave now, are you? What time is it!"
"No, I'll pack my things first so I won't waste time on these things tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Li Tangyan raised the corners of her lips, and her steps became much lighter, with no trace of the dejection she had just shown.
Yao Qing only looked away after the room door closed again.
She pressed play again, and bursts of laughter filled the air, leaving only the sound of Yao Qing biting into potato chips in the living room.
And then came a leisurely, deliberately profound sigh: "Tsk tsk tsk, one by one."
"Vulgar~"

Li Tangyan bought a ticket for the 9 o'clock train, so she arrived in the neighboring city before 11 o'clock.
She hadn't told Wen Zhaonian about her trip beforehand, so once she arrived at her destination, she went directly to the hotel where Wen Zhaonian had been staying.
Li Tangyan didn't ask him for the specific room number beforehand for fear of giving herself away, and only dialed Wen Zhaonian's number after arriving at the hotel lobby.
On the other end of the phone, after a few brief waiting tones, the phone screen quickly switched to a call.
The moment the call connected, before Wen Zhaonian could even speak, Li Tangyan lowered her voice and acted mysteriously.
Are you at the hotel right now?
[Still on my way back, what's wrong?]
Amidst the occasional car horns, Wen Zhaonian's voice, tinged with laughter, softened his clear tone.
Upon hearing this, Li Tangyan raised an eyebrow, pushed the suitcase back and forth with her hand, and then chuckled softly.
"Hurry up, or I might not wait for you anymore!"
After he finished speaking, Wen Zhaonian fell silent for a moment.
Li Tangyan exclaimed "Huh?" and was about to check if the line had been disconnected when she heard the person's voice again through the receiver.
Deep and slow, like a whisper in your ear.
Don't wander off, I'll be there soon.
As Wen Zhaonian entered the hotel lobby, he spotted the person sitting on the sofa looking at his phone.
She placed her suitcase in front of her, resting it on her elbow, and swiped her fingertips across the screen a few times, looking somewhat bored.
Li Tangyan wore a white chiffon blouse with a sky-blue skirt today, which made her look more serene.
However, when she looked up in this direction, her bright and clear eyes sparkled.
Wen Zhaonian watched as she let go of her suitcase and ran towards him.
As it crashed into my arms, it brought with it a faint scent of lime.
Without realizing it, it felt as if a feather had gently brushed against the area around my heart.
Then, in the instant he lowered his eyes, he heard Li Tangyan's voice, tinged with laughter.
Gentle and soft-spoken, with a hint of coquettishness: "Surprise~"
