"Lingxue, happy birthday."
Listening to Shen Cheng's gentle words, Lingxue's little hand holding the fork suddenly froze in the air.
Looking up, Lingxue looked at Chen Cheng in a daze, her tone seemed to carry a hint of disbelief: "You...what did you say?"
"Happy birthday, congratulations to Lingxue on turning eighteen." Chen Cheng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the clerk at the bakery smiled and gave Lingxue a look of blessing.
“…”
"Woo... Woo..." After a long silence, Ling Xue sniffed, her eyes gradually turned red, and a thin layer of mist gradually rose up.
"Lingxue?" Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand, not knowing where to put it, and finally put it on Lingxue's little head: "What's wrong? Don't cry, I know this cake is a little cold... too small, but..."
Originally, Chen Cheng wanted to say the word "shabby", but the lady from the bakery was watching him, so he couldn't slander her cake in front of her.
"Wu... I... I didn't cry, I just... my eyes..." Lingxue tilted her head upwards, and finally seemed to be unable to hold back her tears. She simply turned her back to Chen Cheng, picked up a small piece of cake and put it into her mouth: "Thank you for the cake... I like it very much... Thank you..."
"As long as you like it." Shen Cheng felt relieved.
"Wow... Every time I celebrate my birthday, only Ximing will accompany me..." Lingxue turned her back to Chen Cheng and lowered her head: "I didn't expect you to remember my birthday, thank you so much..."
Shen Cheng: “…”
It was Ximing who told me your birthday, otherwise how would I know it?
"Xi Ming hasn't said this to me today, you...you are the first one..."
Shen Cheng: “…”
But Ximing specially left this opportunity for me, everyone remembers it.
Just a small cake made Lingxue become like this. When everyone gave Lingxue birthday wishes in the evening, Lingxue still didn't know what she would look like.
By the way, Lingxue seemed to be in a bad mood yesterday. Was it because no one seemed to know about her birthday?
What? Even though he is eighteen years old, he still looks like a child.
Chen Cheng immediately felt relieved and rubbed Lingxue's head and said, "If there's any place you want to go or anything you want to buy, you can tell me. After all, it's our Lingxue's eighteenth birthday."
"Who...who is yours!" After retorting with a red face, Lingxue raised her arm to wipe her face, and then quickly finished the piece of cake in small bites.
After Shen Cheng finished the cake in two bites, his eyes lit up slightly and he gave the waitress a thumbs up.
The shop assistant smiled and nodded to Chen Cheng, but she suddenly felt a little restless in her heart.
Should I ask for his contact information?
However, after Shen Cheng gave the shop assistant a thumbs-up, he turned his attention back to Ling Xue: "Let's go!"
"Yeah!" Lingxue turned her head. Although her eyes were still a little red and swollen, a pure smile appeared on her face.
The two of them immediately walked out of the bakery hand in hand, and the salesgirl stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she could only swallow the words back and continued her work with some regret.
“Chen Cheng, this way, this way!”
“Chen Cheng, look there!”
After leaving the bakery, Lingxue was obviously much more active than in the morning. Later, even when Chen Cheng touched her head, she no longer showed such resistance.
Chen Cheng was instantly filled with gratitude towards Xi Ming.
Do you want to take Ximing out for a walk next time?
To be honest, Chen Cheng has been coveting Xi Ming's power for a long time.
After wandering around Mio City with Lingxue until the afternoon, the two, feeling a little tired, sat on a bench in the park and began to rest.
Chen Cheng held Lingxue in his arms, and Lingxue leaned against Chen Cheng's arms, looking at the scene in the park.
During this time, most of the people in the park are elderly people taking a walk. Because the weather is still relatively cold, there are no children to be seen.
"How did Lingxue celebrate her birthday when she was at the Institute of Biological Sciences?" Shen Cheng asked, resting his chin on the top of Lingxue's head.
"When I was at the Institute of Biological Sciences..." Lingxue thought for a moment and replied, "Ximing always wished me happy birthday early in the morning, and then Ximing and I spent the day playing around the Institute of Biological Sciences. It wasn't much different from any other day."
"No birthday cake?" Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course not." Ling Xue shrugged and said, "Huan Ya has a birthday every day at the Institute of Biological Sciences. We can't make birthday cakes for him every day, right? It's okay for those who have jobs at the Institute of Biological Sciences, but Xi Ming and I only became information liaisons last fall."
“Is that so…” Shen Cheng nodded.
In fact, Lingxue is quite popular in the Institute of Basic Biological Sciences. As for why only Ximing celebrated Lingxue's birthday...it must be because of Lingxue's personality. She never mentions her birthday to others.
"Chen Cheng..." At this time, Ling Xue lowered her head and said awkwardly, "Well... I feel... very happy to be your information liaison, really."
"Hmm." Chen Cheng smiled faintly: "I am also very fortunate to have Lingxue as an information liaison."
"Really? I feel like I can't be of much help to you since I became your information contact..."
"But you did help me." Chen Cheng said softly: "My information contact is Lingxue, that's enough, nothing else matters."
"Woo..." Lingxue moaned, her body a little stiff.
"Come to think of it, when I first met you, you said I was a relative." Shen Cheng smiled as he recalled what happened back then.
"Ah!" As soon as the words fell, Lingxue turned her head away with a red face like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "I... I didn't mean it then! You won't hate me... just because of that incident..."
"How could I possibly hate Lingxue?" Shen Cheng comforted her, pinching Lingxue's little face.
Afterwards, the two of them sat on the bench for a while until it got dark. Chen Cheng estimated that it was almost time, so he said to Ling Xue, "Shall we go back?"
"Ah? Oh... okay." Lingxue's tone was somewhat reluctant.
After saying that, Lingxue jumped out of Shen Cheng's arms.
As a result, when she just landed, Lingxue's face changed slightly, her steps became unstable, and she almost fell to the ground.
Still, Shen Cheng quickly supported Ling Xue: "What's wrong?"
"My feet...are a little sore." Lingxue said, turning her head.
After all, I really had too much fun today.
