Upon hearing this, the girl suddenly turned around.
Then I saw the person I missed most standing in the night, panting heavily.
By the light of the distant lamp, the boy's handsome face was clearly visible, and even though it was soon obscured by a layer of mist, it was still much clearer than the boy she had seen in her dreams these past few days.
"I originally planned to bring you here myself."
Chen Lu's voice was a little hoarse.
"I didn't expect there to be a traffic jam on the way from the airport to here."
It took him a lot of effort to finish speaking, and when there was still a kilometer left, the road got stuck again, so he simply got out of the car and ran.
When he was almost out of breath, he was about to walk over when the girl, facing the evening breeze, threw herself into his arms.
The two of them even forgot to hang up the phone.
"Your birthday isn't over yet, you should be happy today, don't cry." Chen Lu gently patted the girl in his arms, letting her hug him tightly.
He knew very well that his girlfriend was essentially a crybaby, so he smiled and gave her a gentle reminder.
"I can't hold back, I used to be able to," Liang Zhirou said, her voice soft and sweet, her voice trembling with tears. "Now, now..."
"The past is the past," Chen Lu said softly.
Liang Zhirou used to neither cry nor laugh, but now she can laugh, and she's far ahead of everyone else when it comes to crying, as if she's venting all the resentment she had from being wronged and had nowhere to cry.
...That's fine too, isn't it? Anyway, it's cute no matter what.
"I can't be a girlfriend who won't cause you trouble... I don't want to be a girlfriend who won't cause you trouble anymore."
Liang Zhirou spoke while crying, as if she had suffered a great injustice or made a terrible mistake.
I miss you so much every day, I really miss you.
These days, the thought of not disturbing Chen Lu has been tormenting her constantly. Knowing that Chen Lu is busy with very serious matters, she doesn't dare to urge him or ask when he will be back. She can only do what she needs to do each day and obediently wait for Chen Lu to contact her first.
However, being a sensible and obedient girlfriend is really difficult. Getting her to refrain from disturbing him, whose mind is filled with Chen Lu, is an extremely painful thing.
"I don't want you to leave, I want to see you every day..."
"I'm sorry, I'm not a good girlfriend."
Liang Zhirou rested her forehead on Chen Lu's body, her voice growing softer and softer until she finally uttered only this sentence.
“That’s right,” Chen Lu said earnestly.
These words startled the girl, who looked up at him with some shock.
Liang Zhirou's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were still brimming with tears.
Chen Lu reached out and wiped away the tears on the girl's cheeks, and slowly said with a smile: "A good girlfriend has to sacrifice a lot for me, and she can't get angry or sulk, and she can't be willful, so she won't be happy most of the time."
He lowered his head and gently pecked Liang Zhirou on the forehead. "You have to be a girlfriend who's happy every day."
"You're always like this..."
Liang Zhirou muttered, "Even if you wanted to drag me into the river right now, I would be willing to jump with you. Why do you have to hurt me like this?"
The girl's heart was pounding, she felt dizzy, and she couldn't understand it at all.
At this moment, Chen Lu gently grasped her shoulder, moved a little distance away, and carefully examined the necklace around Liang Zhirou's neck.
The blue diamonds hung on the hollowed-out small discs, and when they swayed slightly, they seemed to sparkle.
"Is this also a gift?" Liang Zhirou held the exquisitely crafted necklace in her palm, not daring to guess its price. In order not to spoil the atmosphere, she could only wait until later to lecture Chen Lu not to buy expensive gifts.
"yes."
Why give two gifts?
"I'll give you two gifts every year from now on, until I make up for all the birthdays you've had before," Chen Lu said softly. This simpleton probably hadn't received any birthday gifts for many years, so he could just make up for it each time.
Liang Zhirou pursed her lips. The sudden addition of two expectations for her birthday made her very happy.
Of course, she would be even happier if Chen Lu didn't have to spend so much money...
Chen Lu took the girl's hands, intertwined their fingers, and gazed at her silently. Liang Zhirou had blossomed into an even more graceful young woman, far more stunning than the night they first met.
"I've already missed all your birthdays before you turned nineteen, so of course I'm not willing to miss the first one after I met you."
"I won't miss any of them in the future."
"Zhirou, happy birthday," he said softly. "Thank you for letting me into your life and becoming a part of your nineteenth year."
I also want to thank you for liking me so much and for rescuing me from the quagmire of self-doubt...
Liang Zhirou didn't speak. She simply took Chen Lu's arm, stood on tiptoe, and looked at him with affection: "I have another gift I want."
"You want..."
Before Chen Lu could finish speaking, the girl's soft lips pressed against his. Their words and tongues intertwined, and it seemed as if they hadn't said anything at all, or perhaps the words they wanted to say had already drifted further and further away with the evening breeze.
......
After a long while.
The evening breeze by the river was a bit chilly, so Chen Lu and Liang Zhirou huddled together, sharing the same coat.
In the distance, neon-lit skyscrapers gleam; nearby, the water is calm and still, just like the night.
The night breeze occasionally rippled the surface.
Looking at the shimmering water, Liang Zhirou tilted her head and nuzzled his chin again.
