When Chu Xi woke up from his coma, he looked up and found himself in a vast expanse of white. For a moment he felt as if he was in another world and couldn't recover.

After my vision gradually came into focus, I realized that I had fainted in the office. I guess Assistant Lin sent me directly to the hospital. This is usually the case when something like this happens.

Chu Xi tilted his head to look, only to find that his hand was being held tightly by someone, and he saw a familiar figure.

Mu Ci held Chu Xi's other hand tightly with both of her hands, and sat on the other side, lying there with her head tilted to the side. She seemed to have been guarding here for a long time, and looked very tired, with a trace of anxiety and worry between her brows, and she slept very uneasily.

It was now around four or five in the morning. Chu Xi had lost a lot of water before, so Mu Ci had been guarding him here. Only after all the water was lost did he lie down drowsily and take a nap.

Chu Xi looked at the woman who was sleeping beside him, and his heart tightened. His gaze fell on Mu Ci, and feeling his hand being held, his eyes darkened slightly, and his hand tightened subconsciously.

This tiny movement directly woke Mu Ci up.

Mu Ci sat up suddenly, then looked at Chu Xi, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Xi was still lying there alive.

Then he stretched and spoke to the person on the bed with a slightly accusatory tone.

"I've told you to remember to eat on time. No matter how important your work is, your life is more important. You have to eat when it's time to eat!"

As he was talking, Mu Ci moved the bed to a suitable angle, then walked over and poured a bowl of hot millet porridge that had been placed on the table nearby, then handed it over with a small spoon.

"Here, sit up and drink."

Chu Xi didn't say anything, but his eyes were always following Mu Ci closely, his eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"What are you standing there for? Drink!"

Mu Ci moved forward with the spoon and brought it closer to Chu Xi's mouth again.

Chu Xi's gaze fell on her rosy lips, and then he drank sip by sip from the spoon.

After finishing the porridge, Chu Xi suddenly asked, "Did you say something to me last night?"

Mu Ci froze. She glanced at Chu Xi who was asking this question seriously, and her expression returned to normal. Her hands did not stop moving as she put away the bowl and spoon and placed them on the table beside her.

"What?"

"Keep calling my name."

“…”

Nonsense! She has been calling his name since when.

She just said "okay" and wished him a happy birthday.

This guy is in a coma and receiving intravenous drip, how could he possibly hear it?

The corner of Mu Ci's mouth twitched, but Chu Xi still looked serious and stared at Mu Ci intently.

"Call me again."

???

The words Chu Xi said at this moment and the emotions revealed in those words were very different from his previous ones. She even wondered if the man in front of her had changed his heart, or if he had remembered the previous Chu Xi.

But when her eyes met his, she quickly dismissed this guess.

Judging from the looks of it, that’s definitely not the case. If he really remembered it, he would probably jump up right away.

So what's happening now?

Mu Ci looked at Chu Xi with a hint of inquiry, but said nothing.

Chu Xi sat quietly on the hospital bed and continued speaking with a hint of stubbornness.

"Say my name again."

His voice was low and deep, and slightly hoarse because he had just woken up, like a low cello tune flowing slowly by.

Mu Ci was stared at by him, and his face turned red as he listened to the slightly hoarse yet magnetic voice.

"I...I...I'm going to wash the dishes!"

He said this in a hurry, without even raising his head, he hurriedly picked up the lunch box from the table and went to the small room on the other side of the ward.

Originally she didn't have to deal with all this, but the atmosphere just now was really wrong, so Mu Ci had to find this excuse and escape in a somewhat panic.

Why...why do I feel like this guy is more attractive than before.

Or is it that kind of serious, earnest, and clueless flirting?

Ahhhhhh, my heart is going to explode!

When Mu Ci finally prepared himself mentally and came out of the small room, he found that Chu Xi was still in the same state and had not moved much.

Seeing Mu Ci coming over at this moment, his eyes were still fixed on her, his face was a little cold, and the expression in his eyes was complicated and unpredictable. It was really hard to figure out what he was thinking at this moment.

Mu Ci skipped the previous topic, sat down in the same seat, took out a few tissues from his bag, and wiped his hands carelessly.

"Do you know what day it is today?"

Chu Xi frowned.

He really didn't know what day it was today. Today, at most he had more things to do, but there was nothing else to do.

I didn't know so I kept silent.

Mu Ci looked at his confused expression and knew that he had completely forgotten his birthday. If she hadn't seen it in the character information in advance, it was estimated that few people would remember when Chu Xi's birthday was.

Just when Chu Xi was looking confused, Mu Ci took out a mini cake from under the cabinet with a candle on it. On the cake was written: Chu Xi, happy birthday.

Mu Ci placed the small cake in Chu Xi's hand, then went to turn off the lights in the room, and then lit the candles with the flashlight in his mobile phone.

In the dim room, a faint candle emitted a warm, yellowish light.

"Chu Xi, happy birthday! I hope you can eat on time every day in the new year!"

She smiled happily, with a beautiful curve at the corner of her mouth, with a hint of teasing, but more of seriousness.

A birthday wish that is as ordinary as it can be, a birthday wish that is as ridiculous as it can be.

Chu Xi held the small cake that could be fully held in one palm, and through the light of the candle, he looked at the person who was standing next to him and looking at him eagerly.

The dim light from the candle was unusually soft and warm. He looked at the person in front of him. His usually flamboyant and bright features were now restrained and clean, like the softest of wings.

There were ripples in my heart.

"Stupefied again, making a wish and blowing out the candles?"

Mu Ci stared at the candle that seemed to be in danger, and glanced at Chu Xi who had not moved at all at the moment.

Chu Xi suddenly said at this time: "You haven't sung the birthday song yet, and I haven't heard it yet."

"???"

This business was not included in the services she expected.

The main reason is that she really has no talent in singing.

"Just make a wish. I've already told you happy birthday, so stop messing around. Make a wish! And then blow out the candles!"

Chu Xi, however, seemed determined to argue with her, and just held the small cake with a little candle burning on it, waiting for her quietly and patiently.

"No!"

Anyway, she was determined not to sing! Mu Ci was very determined in this regard.

Seeing that she had made such an attitude clear, Chu Xi felt that his hope of hearing the Happy Birthday song might be slim. He frowned, his face gloomy and serious, as if he was thinking hard, trying to find a good way to let Mu Ci fulfill his slightly excessive little wish.

I got some, but I also became a lot greedier.

Mu Ci didn't notice what he was thinking. She just stared at the candle burning out little by little. Although the candle didn't burn quickly, it couldn't last as long as Chu Xi did.

"Make a wish! Blow it!"

Mu Ci became anxious.

"You sing."

Chu Xi remained calm.

…

Fuck it, just sing, who’s afraid of who!

This man just can't get used to it!

After Mu Ci came to his senses, he didn't even need to adjust his state. He just put all his energy into singing a very touching birthday song. He even let go and sang happily. He even uploaded the English version.

Chu Xi, however, seemed not to feel the devilish sound. His face was filled with an extremely serious look as he listened quietly, as if he was appreciating a theater ensemble. His seriousness also carried a slight, imperceptible doting touch. The corners of his mouth were raised, but the curve was not obvious and could hardly be seen.

"Okay, I'm done singing, that's all."

"Yeah, that sounds good."

Very fair comments, very fair attitude.

When Chu Xi saw her smile, his heart was moved again. His eyes darkened and he looked at her quietly for a while. Then he turned his head away, closed his eyes and paused for a while, then opened his eyes and blew out the candle that was almost completely burned out.

The room fell into darkness again.

Mu Ci seemed to have been prepared for this. Soon, with a click, the room suddenly lit up.

She sat back in her previous seat, looked at Chu Xi, and asked, "Have you made a wish? What is it?"

Her face was full of expectation, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be glowing. Chu Xi looked at her and saw her lips curled up slightly. He said calmly, "I won't tell you."

“…”

OK, maybe this is the feeling of someone who has hardly ever celebrated a birthday and is celebrating his or her first birthday.

She understands.

Mu Ci skipped the topic.

"Now that you have made your wish and blown out the candles, leave the rest to me."

Having said that, Mu Ci took the cake from Chu Xi's hand, took the small fork that had been prepared for eating the cake from the table beside him, and began to eat it with a grunt.

Chu Xi: ...

"What are you doing?"

"Eat cake. I've been guarding you for most of the night, but I didn't even have dinner." Mu Ci paused for a moment and responded fluently.

"Shouldn't... the birthday person eat cake?"

Chu Xi was somewhat skeptical about life. He slightly frowned his handsome brows and asked back seriously.

"But you have appendicitis now, and you need surgery later. You can't just eat cake casually even on your birthday, so I'll eat the portion you want for him."

Mu Ci looked as if it was a matter of course.

Chu Xi listened to her words and looked at her expression. Somehow, he felt that this person really deserved a beating.

His eyes fell on Mu Ci's lips, which were slightly stained with cream and looked extremely soft and delicious. His eyes darkened slightly, and then he leaned forward slightly, then stretched out his right arm, put it around Mu Ci's neck and pulled him towards himself.

Then he covered her with his lips.

"I want to eat too."

The sound is extremely dull.
