"All right, stop eating..." Murong Xue stopped Chu Yisen who was still eating. He already ate enough. She thought he was being hungry, but he was acting like he was going to eat them all. Then she knew he took her joke for real...
"They are delicious. What a pity..." Chu Yisen looked at the dishes with pity.
"You can't shove them all down to your throat. It's not like you're going to be hungry in the future..." She would sell vegetables and fruits in the Space. With high quality, these vegetables and fruits would be popular. Then everyone could eat food grown in the Space in the future…
Chu Yisen's eyes became brighter, "You will cook for me in the future?"
Murong Xue moved her lips, "No, I didn't mean that..."
"Wonderful. You said that, and you can't regret it."
His smile was so bright and his silver teeth sparkled a little, which were so bright. She took back her explanation. Forgot it. It was normal to cook for him since they were friends. She also cooked for Mo Aili from time to time...
Chu Yisen helped Murong Xue clean up the table. He looked at his watch. It was 7 p.m. sharp, "Xue, let's go."
"What? Where are we going?" Murong Xue was pulled by him and asked at the same time.
Chu Yisen turned around and smiled, "It's your birthday. How could you not have any cakes?"
“Cakes?” Her heart beat and she felt warm. Shangguan Mo didn't accompany her, but she received lots of wishes from her friends.
Chu Yisen took her to a cake store by car. Murong Xue picked a small chocolate mousse cake, which was the same size as a football. Chu Yisen wasn't content and almost bought the whole store. Murong Xue had to pull him out of the store with embarrassment.
Murong Xue got on the car and complained, "Why do you buy the whole store? We can't eat them all..."
Chu Yisen looked at her lovely face and said jokingly, "Tell me what to do. Buying all the cakes around the world isn't enough to express my feelings for you..."
Murong Xue was astonished. Did Chu Yisen...?
But he laughed, "Ha-ha. What? You look all surprised. How funny! Do you think I have feelings for you...?"
Did she misunderstand? How shameful! She did think of it that way! She blushed. After a while, she said “humph” and looked around.
Chu Yisen revealed his tenderness when she turned around. He could only reveal his feelings when she didn't notice it. How could he make trouble for her at this time? How could he bear it...?
Suddenly, he saw a person who wasn't possible to be here. It was Shangguan Mo. What was he doing here? When Chu Yisen was about to tell Murong Xue, he saw another woman with Shangguan Mo, Bai Xueli. She held him happily and they walked into a restaurant together...
Murong Xue was about to turn her head around. Chu Yisen was astonished and covered her eyes hurriedly with his hands. That man had time to be with another woman rather than stay here for Murong Xue's birthday.
"What, Yisen?" Murong Xue wanted to take off his hands, but he covered her eyes tightly.
When Chu Yisen couldn't see Shangguan Mo anymore, he let go and said to Murong Xue like nothing weird happened, "I heard that after covering your eyes on your birthday for ten seconds, you could make a wish to God. Sit tight. Let's go."
"Really? I never heard of that." It turned out that people could do that on their birthday.
Chu Yisen drove while watching Murong Xue who truly believed it. He laughed for no reason. This girl was too innocent to deal with Shangguan Mo. Chu Yisen thought Shangguan Mo had already dealt with Bai Xueli, but it was just a lie.
"You're too dumb, so you don't know many things." Chu Yisen smiled and said to Murong Xue.
"Yisen, who's dumb?" Murong Xue asked with anger.
"Ha-ha, who else? You. You little idiot." She was dumb. His love for her was so strong, but she didn't even find it out.
"I know you're jealous, so I won't be mad at you..." She knew Chu Yisen was making fun of her maybe because he could see she was upset. Chu Yisen was a tender man.
The first time she saw him, he was all cold at that time, so she thought he wouldn't smile. But the more they got along, the more she found that Chu Yisen was a tender man. His tenderness could always cheer her up. Like Mo Aili, in her life, they were both more indispensable and important than a lover...
"All right, we're here." He drove to the top of one mountain as time passed.
A breeze blew over, which made Murong Xue feel so comfortable. The fresh air was full of the smell of grass. She felt all the trouble was gone at that moment. "Where are we, Yisen?"
"You're moving. This is heaven. I don't take others here." Chu Yisen brought the cake and locked the car. "Let's go. There's a rock there. We could sit there."
"Wait for me." Chu Yisen went early and Murong Xue caught up.
Not for long, they arrived at the big rock Chu Yisen was talking about. It was really a big rock, which was of course not artificial but was flat. Chu Yisen put the cake on the rock and said to Murong Xue with his hands offering, "Come. I'll help you."
Murong Xue reached her hand to him and he held her tight. Chu Yisen pulled her so that she could sit down. The rock was big enough for them.
"Look! It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Murong Xue looked at the sky where Chu Yisen pointed at. There were stars in the dark sky with the moon. It was her first time watching stars. She used to read it in the book rather than actually watch them because stars were rare in the city...
Her eyes were bright and she was completely attracted by the beautiful sky. She smiled...
"Is the starry night as the present not enough...?" Chu Yisen whispered. But as long as she smiled, it was enough.
He would definitely give her something much better next time. If he had known it earlier, he would have made her happier. He thought of Shangguan Mo who he had seen earlier, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if Murong Xue found it out. He struggled and didn't want to upset her, but at the same time, he wanted her to know that Shangguan Mo didn't deserve her. But he wouldn't tell her today because today was her birthday. At least, today, she deserved to be happy.
"How come, Yisen. This is the best present I've ever received." On this lonely night, she was appreciated for his accompany.
"I'm glad you like it. Xue, make a wish." Chu Yisen unwrapped it, took out the lighter, and lighted up the candles.
Murong Xue closed her eyes in front of the cake with so many candles, making a wish which she hoped would come true the most. Then she opened her eyes and blew off the candles.
"Happy birthday, Xue." Chu Yisen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Yisen." She cut off one piece of the cake and passed it over.
They ate the cake quietly, watching the stars with nothing going on in their mind. They both treasured this period. The night was getting dark and the wind was stronger on the top of the mountain. Especially late at night, people would feel cold. When the cold wind blew, Murong Xue couldn’t help but yawn.
Chu Yisen quickly took off his coat and put it on Murong Xue, "Put it on quickly."
Murong Xue saw him with his thin shirt, and soon took it down, "It's okay. It's not that cold. You wear it, Yisen."
Chu Yisen had to put it on her compulsively with her hands in the coat, "I'm a man. Don't stop me for being a gentleman."
Murong Xue laughed and didn't insist. She accepted and treasured his concerns. Her love wasn't going well after she came back to life, but her friendship was. If she didn't get love, she would at least have friendship and her family, which was much better than her last life...
Without knowing how much time it passed, Murong Xue was so tired that she lay on Chu Yisen's shoulder and fell asleep.
Chu Yisen leaned over a little and kept the wind off her. There was a flash of light when he looked at her sleeping.
Maybe from the moment they met, she warmed him, which made him resist no more. It was like an addiction. He wanted to be with her until the day he died.
Meanwhile, Murong Xue’s phone in the car had rung for a long time...
It started to light up. Murong Xue mumbled, opened her eyes slowly, and found out she had been sleeping. She suddenly woke up with worry.
Chu Yisen’s shoulders were a little numb. He massaged his shoulder and was afraid to wake her up last night, so he didn't move a little until the next morning. "You're so heavy and sleep so well, like a piggy. Thank God you're awake, or else you will miss the beautiful scene..."
Murong Xue blushed and couldn't say anything against him. He said she was heavy. That was not true. Her body shape was standard. Thinking of that, she looked at her body but suddenly heard the laughter which came from Chu Yisen. Then she glared at him...
Chu Yisen twisted her angry cheek, "Miss Dumb, it's time to watch the sunrise."
Murong Xue turned around and watched the sunrise. A round of gold inside the flaming sky was beautiful. It was nice. This birthday was not the most luxurious but was the one that calmed her most...
They stayed for half an hour and then decided to leave. When they came back in the car, Murong Xue found out she had more than ten missed calls which were all from Shangguan Mo. She froze and remembered she had forgotten to tell him, so she called him right away.
Shangguan Mo picked up the call right away, "Xue, where did you go last night? You didn't take any of my calls."
Chu Yisen held the steering wheel tighter but still drove steadily with his ears listening...
"Sorry, Mo. I forgot to call you. I was with Yisen last night. Don't get me wrong. He was just here to celebrate my birthday..." She didn't want to lie, which would not only ruin the beautiful scenery but also her friendships with Chu Yisen.
"Yesterday was your birthday? Why didn't you tell me?" Shangguan Mo clenched his phone. Of course, he knew there was nothing going on between them. He trusted Murong Xue. He was just jealous. If he had known earlier, he would not...
"I thought you were busy, so I didn't mention it. You didn't even have the time to have dinner with me. It was just my birthday and I didn't want to affect your work..." She explained, feeling upset. Once she said it herself, the meaning of birthday lost its meaning. She thought the most important person should know her birthday, even if her idea was a little dramatic.
"Where are you? Do you come back?"
"We're on the way home. I'll call you when we're there." Shangguan Mo sounded different. Maybe he was mad. Of course, he was mad. It was her fault. She should at least call him...
Chu Yisen drove quietly. He thought Murong Xue would come up with an excuse. Even if there was nothing between them, but he did think of something else and Shangguan Mo knew it. And Shangguan Mo... This dumb girl said it straightforward without any excuses...
"Is everything alright?" Chu Yisen asked.
"Yeah. What are you asking?" Murong Xue asked with surprise.
"Ha-ha, if you didn't know what I was asking, why did you answer?" She was stupid in a cute way.
"I just answer without thinking it through... What exactly are you asking?"
"Nothing. Do you need me to explain for you?" He thought it would be worse if he came and explained.
Murong Xue thought a little and realized what Chu Yisen meant. Then she shook her head and said, "No, thanks." The problem with the relationships between Murong Xue and Shangguan Mo was Bai Xueli.
