However, the hug did not last long.
The person in his arms suddenly cried out "Ah" and struggled out of his arms.
The empty feeling in his arms made Xie Jinyan frown.
His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his handsome face suddenly became a little sullen, and there was a rare hint of childish dissatisfaction in his deep eyes.
For a moment, I didn't notice what Shen Zhi was talking to himself.
He reached out to take her into his arms again.
However, when he stretched out his hand, he found nothing. The person in front of him suddenly bent down and picked up the paper bag on the ground.
Only then did Xie Jinyan realize that when Chen Zhi came over just now, he was holding something in his hand, and he probably dropped it on the ground accidentally.
"It's over, it's over. I don't even know if it's broken..."
Chen Zhi squatted on the ground with his back to him, muttering to himself and fiddling with something.
Xie Jinyan suddenly felt a little ridiculous, "...what are you doing?"
After waiting for a while without any response from Chen Zhi, Xie Jinyan couldn't help but want to walk around to Chen Zhi and asked, "What's broken? Let me see?"
However, before he could move, Shen Zhi, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly stood up.
The next second, she turned around.
In her hand, she held a palm-sized cake with a small candle on it. The tiny candle flame flickered in the wind in the dark night.
Chen Zhi held the cake in one hand and took out his cell phone from his pocket with the other hand. He checked the time and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I almost forgot about the important matter. Fortunately, I still made it in time!"
"It's too late. All the other cakes in the cake shop have been sold out. Only this small one is left. I can only make do with it..."
Putting the phone back in his pocket, Shen Zhi held the cake in both hands, looking at the stunned man in front of him with a smile.
He whispered——
"Thank you Jinyan, happy birthday."
The bottomless dark eyes were suddenly lit up by the candlelight in front of them.
Xie Jinyan froze on the ground for an instant.
I can’t remember how many years it has been since I heard these four words on this day.
Chen Zhi's happy birthday brought him back to the past.
His Adam's apple slid slightly, and he pursed his lips. After a long while, he spoke again, his voice even hoarser than at the beginning, "...How did you know?"
Chen Zhi held the cake in both hands and was carefully adjusting the position of his body, trying to block the wind from all directions and prevent the candle from going out prematurely.
Hearing this, he paused.
Then she blinked her eyes and began to talk nonsense seriously: "Because I am a fairy from heaven, there is nothing that fairies don't know."
The man's gaze suddenly deepened.
In those deep black eyes, some emotions were surging violently.
"Then you should know that I never—"
"I don't know," Chen Zhi interrupted Xie Jinyan's unfinished words, "I only know that today is your birthday."
Chen Zhi looked serious.
"No matter what happened in the past, it's all in the past. Xie Jinyan, the people who love you only hope that you can be blessed on this day and live a happy and joyful life."
Chen Zhi held the cake and took another step towards the man.
"Hurry up, it's almost twelve o'clock."
Perhaps because she came in a hurry, Shen Zhi had not yet removed her makeup.
Her eyes were extremely flamboyant and bright, but under the candlelight they were incredibly soft.
Seeing that Xie Jinyan still didn't speak, Shen Zhi nodded deliberately.
"I see. Teacher Xie, are you dissatisfied that the cake I bought is too small? Or are you dissatisfied that a piece of my cake fell to the ground and got chipped? If that's the case, then I—"
Chen Zhi hadn't finished speaking yet.
The man suddenly lowered his head and blew out the candle in one breath.
"Is this all right?"
The candle on the cake, which was swaying in the wind, was completely extinguished.
Chen Zhi blinked twice, but suddenly realized, "No, you haven't made a wish yet!"
