“They say a child’s birthday is the mother’s day of suffering, so every year on my birthday, I come here alone. This year, you’re with me.”
“Your mother must be comforted to have such a filial son.”
“My mother had a difficult delivery with me, suffering for a whole day and night. She said she wanted to beat me, but when she first saw me, she felt it was worth the pain.”
“How did your mother pass away?”
Fang Yuzhe seemed reluctant to discuss it but, feeling it would be impolite not to answer, he vaguely said, “An accident.”
Yuluo didn’t want to force him to recall painful memories. She took out her gift, “This is for you, happy birthday!”
Fang Yuzhe was surprised, “You really prepared a gift, but it’s not necessary—”
“Just a small token of appreciation. The item isn’t expensive, so I was too embarrassed to give it earlier.”
“Don’t say that. Even if it’s just a leaf from you, I’ll treasure it.”
“You’re so cheesy,” Xia Yuluo found it a bit unbearable.
“I am a bit cheesy,” Fang Yuzhe laughed, “Actually, I was planning to ask you for a gift.”
Out of Control
Fang Yuzhe said he wanted to ask Yuluo for a gift, and Yuluo said okay, ask for whatever you want and I’ll give it to you!
“You said it? No taking it back!”
“Am I that petty in your heart?”
“Of course not!” Fang Yuzhe smiled warmly at her, they were sitting on the ground, so their eye levels were almost the same.
“Can you kiss me actively?”
Xia Yuluo immediately regretted it, why did she insist on not being petty? She should have been petty!
“No going back, do it quickly.” He actually closed his eyes.
“No, it’s not appropriate in front of your mother,” she found an excuse.
Fang Yuzhe opened his eyes unhappily, “My mother would definitely want to see me happy. You can’t go back on your word!” He closed his eyes again, the corner of his mouth showing a suppressed smile.
In the night, Xia Yuluo looked at his lips, very beautiful, and they had kissed more than once before. Just a kiss, she gritted her teeth and quickly kissed him, even shorter than his half-second last time.
