“Nan Nan…”
Ji Zhinan smiled and handed her the roses in his hand: "Xiao Fei, happy birthday."
"Thanks."
She was surrounded by friends, and everyone was smiling and wishing her well.
She... was still somewhat disappointed.
Lin Que was not there.
"The cake is here!" someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to a certain direction. A person dressed as a bear slowly walked over carrying a cake, and everyone sang the birthday song again.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...
The little bear stopped in front of Xing Fei, looked at the "20" candles on the cake, Xing Fei interlaced her fingers, lowered her head, closed her eyes, and began to make a wish.
After about ten seconds, she slowly opened her eyes and blew out the candle.
"Okay~~~" The people around them cheered.
The cake was placed aside, and the little bear suddenly stretched out its arms to her.
Xing Fei silently stepped forward and hugged the teddy bear, hiding her disappointed look in a corner where no one could see her.
She shouldn't look so dejected when everyone comes to her birthday party.
They hugged for a while before letting go, and Xing Fei smiled at everyone, saying, "Thank you all."
"Cut the cake! Cut the cake!"
Xing Fei took the knife from the teddy bear, made two cuts on the cake, cut off a piece, and then tried to give it to Madam Xing, but Madam Xing refused.
He then offered the piece to Ji Zhinan, who smiled and shook his head, saying, "The birthday person should eat the first piece."
All right.
Xing Fei silently took back the cake and cut it for everyone.
There were many people, and the cake was so big that one person couldn't carry it at all, so we bought a small one to blow out the candles. After we finished the small cake, we also divided up the huge cake that was several meters tall next to it.
Let's eat the birthday cake first, then we'll have dinner later.
Several servants were distributing the cake to everyone, while Xing Fei kept a close eye on things the whole time.
Seeing her like that, Ji Zhinan couldn't help but chuckle: "Everyone will be able to eat, so don't worry."
Xing Fei looked away and smiled sheepishly.
Ji Zhinan handed her the cake that was placed next to him: "Here, eat it quickly, birthday girl."
"Thank you, Nan Nan."
Xing Fei held the plate in her left hand and the fork in her right, then pressed a piece into her mouth.
This is the best cake shop in Beijing. The cream is not too sweet or greasy, and it melts in your mouth perfectly.
Perhaps because she ate sweets, Xing Fei's previously depressed mood improved considerably.
When she was taking the last bite, her teeth seemed to hit something hard. At first, she thought she was imagining things, but then her teeth hit something hard again.
What is it?
She spat out the contents and froze when she saw the ring lying in her palm.
The bear that had brought the cake earlier reappeared, slowly walking towards Xing Fei step by step. In its hand was a small bouquet of roses, which, upon closer inspection, were the same ones that Xing Fei had held earlier.
He stopped only when he reached Xing Fei, then knelt on one knee and presented her with roses.
Xing Fei was still in shock from finding the ring when a bear suddenly knelt in front of her, leaving her stunned.
Do you like it?
Hearing the familiar voice gave Xing Fei another big shock.
This is……
She thought she had misheard, but it was clearly...
She reached out and yanked off the bear's head, revealing the person inside, whose blond fur was particularly striking...
Xing Fei took a step back and covered her mouth with one hand.
How could that be? Little Wen, just say it outright...
It was rare for Lin Que to show such a serious expression; he was completely different from his usual self.
He stared at the girl's shocked expression and his first words were: "You're 20 now, it's legal."
"..."
I have to say, that really ruined the mood.
Ji Zhinan, standing next to him, twitched the corner of his mouth.
She spent so much effort and time teaching a fool how to be romantic, but the moment she opened her mouth, she instantly brought everyone back to reality from their dream.
Indeed, rotten wood cannot be carved.
"..." Lin Que, on the other hand, seemed to have such self-awareness that he realized as soon as he finished speaking that it might not be a good thing to say such a thing, since he had important business to attend to today.
As expected of a movie star, his ability to change his expression is simply superb. He returned to his aloof demeanor, staring at her, and slowly spoke, word by word.
"I've been trying to figure out how long we've known each other, but I still can't. Because for me, every day I've known you feels like an infinite amount of time."
"The first word I saw in you was 'sunshine.' You appeared in my life like a little sun, giving me sunshine."
"You know... I don't know how to say nice things, and sometimes I can be quite blunt, which often makes you angry."
“I’ve been waiting for this day. I’m 20 now, and it’s finally legal.”
He looked up at her and said earnestly, "I've given you my whole heart, so you can't deceive my feelings. I've finally waited until you turn 20. Those who are meant to get engaged should get engaged, and those who are meant to get married should get married. At least give me some peace of mind, okay?"
Ji Zhinan: "..." The marriage proposal lines he had written over several days were rendered into a mess by him.
Lin Que still held that small bunch of white roses in his hand, exactly 11, no more, no less. "For a lifetime, you are the only person I want to protect."
Lin Que had been preparing for this proposal for a full month, consulting with Ji Zhinan and asking everyone to help him cover up the lie. He had a wonderful idea: he would give Xing Fei a unique proposal ceremony that would move her to tears, the kind where she would cry so much that her makeup would be ruined and her tears would need to be collected in a porcelain jar.
The beginning was fine, but as soon as they opened their mouths, someone completely messed up.
The person was visibly very nervous during the first marriage proposal, and completely forgot all their lines.
