The moment his mother walked towards him, Ye Qi seemed to know what she was going to say. What used to be his most anticipated event had now become his most disappointing one, and he didn't want to face it.
Because he knew very well that they had all forgotten. If it weren't for Sister Wan Ge's words just now, they wouldn't remember at all, including his beloved mother.
Ye Qi couldn't wait to escape, even though it was what he once wanted most, but now it only made him feel somewhat pathetic.
Just then, someone grabbed his hand and said, "It's too late to go home alone. Let me take you home."
Without waiting for Ye Qi's consent, Wan Ge grabbed his hand and left with him. Ye Qi was more interested in escaping this place at this moment, so leaving was what he wanted to do most.
Ye Xin, who was standing behind them, saw that Wan Ge was about to leave and couldn't help but call out "Sister." But Wan Ge had already left with Ye Qi.
…
Ye Qi sat quietly in the passenger seat, and Wan Ge helped him fasten his seatbelt before driving him home.
Ye Qi didn't say a word the whole way, but when they were almost home, Wan Ge saw her handsome boy and her eyes reddened and tears fell, probably because she felt wronged.
Ye Qi is now nineteen years old and has already become an adult. However, he didn't receive any blessings at his coming-of-age ceremony last year.
Wan Ge stopped the car and unbuckled her seatbelt: "Xiao Qi."
Ye Qi heard her call his name, so he subconsciously looked up and saw her approaching him. The next second, Wan Ge hugged him and said, "Little Qi, don't be sad. I'll celebrate your birthday with you every year from now on, okay?"
Wan Ge spoke softly, and Ye Qi could feel her gentleness. His heart inexplicably raced, but Ye Qi still nodded expectantly.
Wan Ge saw him upstairs and stood at his door. This time she didn't go in, but she still kissed him on the cheek: "Go to sleep early. I'm planning to go to the beach this weekend. Xiao Qi, do you want to come with me?"
Ye Qi nodded. Then he saw that Wan Ge's smile was even more obvious, as if he was very happy that he was willing.
"See you this weekend, Xiao Qi, goodnight~"
Ye Qi nodded, and Wan Ge turned to press the elevator button. Just then, Ye Qi suddenly called out to her, "Sister Wan Ge..."
"What's wrong?" Wan Ge turned around and saw Ye Qi. Ye Qi seemed to have thought of something again, and then shook his head.
Wan Ge knew he didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she didn't press him and turned to leave.
…
Meanwhile, at the Ye family home, unlike usual when everyone was both tired and happy, Ye Qi suddenly couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did after returning home. When she finally got up and opened the door, she saw the tightly closed door across the way, which was originally Ye Qi's room.
Madam Ye walked around the corridor and went to the room where Ye Qi used to live.
The room was still spotless because a maid would come to clean it every day. However, ever since Ye Qi moved out at the age of sixteen, no member of the Ye family had entered the room.
Mrs. Ye was also trying to remember when she had come in, but she couldn't recall at all. Maybe it was when Ye Qi was still in elementary school, or maybe it was when he was still in kindergarten.
Looking at the photos in the room, most of them were taken before Ye Qi was five years old, when she and he were very, very young.
