After seeing off some guests, Shi's parents asked Uncle Song to see off the remaining guests. They went up to the second floor, where Shi's father supported Shi's grandfather's arm and Shi's mother stood beside Shi Xi.
Father Shi: "Let's go out first. Zhou Jia, you... put Xiaoyue's clothes on first."
The once noisy hall was now empty except for those who knew Shi Xi.
Shi Xi helped Di Chenxiao downstairs, and the two of them first went to the sofa and sat down.
"Zhou Jin, Brother Qin, Brother Yan, Actor Han, and Brother Chen, you guys go back first. We'll get together another day."
Brother Qin frowned, "What if someone bullies you? I..."
Shi Xi: "Brother Qin, this is my home, who dares to bully me!"
Zhou Jin pulled Qin Xue back, "Xiao Xi, let's go back first. Call me if anything happens."
"good."
Bai Yanlang was naturally aware of the Shi family's affairs, and it was inappropriate for him to stay. "Xiao Shi, I'll be leaving now. If you need any help, just let me know."
“With me by Xixi’s side, she doesn’t need your help,” Di Chenxiao said coldly.
Bai Yanlang chuckled and glanced at Di Chenxiao, who was sitting on the sofa and being treated like a disabled person by Shi Xi. "Master Chen, who needs help to walk, is capable of protecting her?"
"Can't Xixi feel sorry for me?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Bai Bai, let me see you off, please!" Shi Xi left Di Chenxiao's side, walked in front of Bai Yanlang, and led the way for him.
She was a little afraid that the two of them would start arguing again!
Bai Yanlang nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, Xiaoshi."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
Bai Yanlang and Shi Xi walked side by side, with Bai Jian and Bai Ying following behind. When Shi Xi came down from the second floor, she changed her high heels into cotton slippers, which were warm and would prevent her from falling.
The stars in the night sky twinkled, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, foreshadowing a bright and sunny day tomorrow.
The two remained silent until they reached the Shi family's door. Bai Yanlang looked at Shi Xi and said, "That's enough, you can go back now."
Shi Xi nodded in agreement. She took a small box out of her coat pocket and handed it to Bai Jian, saying, "Bai Jian, this is for you. Happy birthday."
Actually, today is not Bai Jian's birthday. It's the day Bai Yanlang found her, and she has been treating that day as her birthday ever since.
Shi Xi was able to remember Bai Jian's birthday in the book for two reasons: first, Bai Jian shared the same birthday as her; second, Bai Jian was sincere towards Bai Yanlang, and when Bai Yanlang was injured and sad because of Lu Yishan, Bai Jian silently stayed by his side.
Unfortunately, his eyes and heart were only for Lu Yishan, and no one else.
Shi Xi still remembers that Bai Jian's biggest wish was for Bai Yanlang to say "Happy Birthday" to her, but Bai Jian never got to hear those words before she died.
Bai Jian was slightly taken aback, looking down at Shi Xi's hand. Her fingertips were a little red, from the cold wind. "Miss Shi, what does this mean?"
"A birthday present! Today is also your birthday, thankfully it's not midnight yet. Happy birthday, I hope you don't think it's too late." Shi Xi placed the gift directly into Bai Jian's hands, and Bai Jian subconsciously accepted it.
She didn't know what Bai Jian liked, nor did she expect Bai Jian to appear at her birthday party. The gift was actually earrings she had bought for herself, but she had put them in her coat pocket and forgotten about them.
She had forgotten to bring her hand warmer pillow when she came out, so she put her hand in her pocket and touched the gift.
Thankfully, Thirteen brought her a gift with her coat; otherwise, just saying "Happy Birthday" would have been too monotonous.
“Master…” Bai Jian’s cold voice carried a hint of helplessness.
