The 24th she mentioned refers to the 24th day of the 12th lunar month. Tang Xiaoxiao's birthday is the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, and there are only five days left until the New Year.
If Tang Xinxin hadn't mentioned it, Tang Xiaoxiao herself wouldn't have realized that her birthday was approaching.
In her previous life, she didn't celebrate her birthday much in the later years. Women are always very sensitive about their age, and after 25, they feel like they get older with each birthday, so Tang Xiaoxiao didn't look forward to it. She didn't care about it after being reborn.
However, since Tang Xinxin remembered it for her, she didn't mind having a lively time with her family.
As it grew darker, Tang Xiaoxiao had no intention of staying overnight, so she got up and left.
On the way, she thought about it and called He Zhan.
She didn't want to sign up for those Taekwondo or Sanda training courses to learn fancy moves; if she was going to learn, she wanted to learn real skills.
Among the people Tang Xiaoxiao knows, He Zhan is the only one who is rich and influential. He must have plenty of bodyguards and such around him, and perhaps he knows a few people who are truly capable.
He Zhan was somewhat surprised to hear Tang Xiaoxiao's request, but he agreed. He did know a skilled martial artist who was hired by him to protect his grandfather.
I imagine the other person wouldn't mind casually pointing at a little girl.
Tang Xiaoxiao hung up the phone in a good mood after agreeing to visit on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
Before they knew it, it was the 25th of the lunar calendar, Tang Xiaoxiao's birthday. Her older sister had ordered a birthday cake in advance from a bakery in City A that had delicious cakes. Tang's mother made longevity noodles by hand, and the whole family gathered together to celebrate Tang Xiaoxiao's birthday in a lively atmosphere. Little Xuanxuan even proudly took out a little red flower that she had made in her art class and insisted on putting it on Tang Xiaoxiao's head.
As she blew out the candles, she silently made a wish in her heart: that her parents would be healthy and live to be a hundred years old, that her sister would find her own happiness, and finally, that she would be happy with the person she loved most for the rest of her life, until they grew old.
Tang Xiaoxiao blew out the candle in one breath. She thought that since Lady Luck had already favored her and given her a second chance, she would surely hear her heart's prayers this time as well.
Around 10 p.m., Tang Xiaoxiao was lying in bed preparing to rest when she unexpectedly received a text message from an unknown number. It said "Happy Birthday" and was signed with the character "杰".
Tang Xiaoxiao deleted the text message without expression.
......
Lin Jie obtained Tang Xiaoxiao's phone number after making inquiries from various sources.
Fang Yun wasn't one to keep her feelings to herself. That day, she bumped into Tang Xiaoxiao on the street, and when she got home, she couldn't control herself and had a big fight with Lin Jie. When she loudly questioned, "Do you think you have another chance now that you've seen her back? Where do you think you are with us, mother and daughter?" Lin Jie finally realized that when he saw Tang Xiaoxiao that time, she hadn't just come back to visit her parents, but had returned to her hometown to develop her career.
Lin Jie was overjoyed upon hearing the news.
The town wasn't big. After asking around and asking a few people, Lin Jie eventually found a fellow villager who knew both of them. He managed to get her phone number, but he didn't have the courage to call her directly. After hesitating for several days, he finally couldn't resist sending her a text message on Tang Xiaoxiao's birthday.
He had never forgotten Tang Xiaoxiao's birthday over the years. Every year on this day, he would involuntarily think of all the little things they had done together. The first time he celebrated Tang Xiaoxiao's birthday was when she lied to her family and ran away. The two of them booked a private room at a karaoke bar, and he sang her a birthday song with his off-key singing voice.
That night he kissed her for the first time.
He still remembers the way Tang Xiaoxiao nestled in his arms, her face flushed but without flinching.
It is said that first love is the most unforgettable emotion in a person's life. Strictly speaking, he and Tang Xiaoxiao did not spend much time together. One had to live at school and the other had to work. They were not even in the same city, so it was not easy for the two of them to find time to meet.
They rarely got together, and because they were both young and inexperienced, they rarely had any intimate gestures. The most outrageous thing he did was kiss her on her birthday.
Even after so many years, he still can't forget the things he did with her.
Lin Jie, engrossed in sweet memories of the past, held his phone, anxiously awaiting a response from the other person, unaware that Tang Xiaoxiao had already drifted off to sleep.
