He wanted to be with her forever and ever, to tell her how important she was to him.

Xu Jiaojiao was confused.

Qi Shenbai did not explain further. He gently tucked Xu Jiaojiao’s hair behind her ear.

“Be with me, Jiaojiao.”

Xu Jiaojiao looked at him. Their burning gazes intertwined in the air, inches away from each other. Just looking at those gentle eyes was enough to make her sink into his love. The moment she fell into this sweet trap, she instantly lost all resistance.

She could only whisper one word. “Okay.”

The corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up. He bent down to kiss her again.

However, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly raised her hand to block his lips. “No.”

Qi Shenbai frowned slightly. Before he could ask why, Xu Jiaojiao quickly explained, “It’s almost midnight. If you don’t eat the longevity noodles now, it’ll be too late.”

In order to fit the mood, Xu Jiaojiao deliberately did not turn on the lights. She even took out a candle that she had prepared beforehand and lit it. It was the only source of light in the living room.

After that, Xu Jiaojiao took out a bowl of longevity noodles from the kitchen. It was a bowl of clear soup noodles. There was some oil on the surface and a handful of green onions sprinkled on top.

These days, everyone thought that it could only be considered a birthday party if they ate cake and blew out candles.

However, Qi Shenbai preferred longevity noodles over those cartoonish cream cakes.

After all, the noodles warmed his stomach and heart.

Most importantly, she was here with him.

Xu Jiaojiao sat beside him with her chin resting on her hands. Her eyes were bright as she looked at him quietly.

Qi Shenbai looked at her. “Why are you looking at me?”

Xu Jiaojiao replied softly, “What’s wrong with me looking at my boyfriend? I mean, he’s so good-looking.”

Qi Shenbai was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “Silly little lover girl.”

“Just so you know, 1 like you for more than just your looks!”

“What else do you like me for?”

Xu Jiaojiao seemed to be stumped by his question. After thinking for a while, she finally shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I like you, and that’s all there is to it. I like being with you. I like spending every day with you.”

Her words were straightforward, but Qi Shenbai was very moved.

Her affection was so simple and straightforward.

She did not need a reason to like someone.

She just did.

He was so lucky to have such a girl like her.

Xu Jiaojiao looked up at the clock on the wall. It was almost time!

She quickly sat up straight and said seriously, “Qi Shenbai, happy birthday.”

“Thank you.”

Xu Jiaojiao paused for a moment. She did not bring anything else, so she could not help but explain, “1 only found out too late at night… I didn’t know it was your birthday today, so I didn’t prepare any gifts for you. Don’t worry, 1 won’t forget your birthday next year.”

Xu Jiaojiao was very serious.

Instead of making up for the missed opportunity, it would be better for the two of them to look forward to next year’s birthday together.

Qi Shenbai put down his chopsticks and looked at her gently. “There’s no need for that.

“I’ve already received your gift.”

Xu Jiaojiao recalled the dance from earlier that night and felt a little embarrassed. “That dance was just to make you happy. It was embarrassing, wasn’t it? Why don’t you forget about it and pretend that it never happened? I…”

“I loved it very much.” Qi Shenbai interrupted her before she could finish.

“You did very well. You sang very well. 1 love everything about it.”

Qi Shenbai was not stingy with his praise at all. He gave her his heartfelt approval.

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her head at his praise. Feeling a little embarrassed, she pursed her lips and smiled.

“Thank you. I hope you’ll always be this happy.”

“We both will.”

Qi Shenbai added, “I enjoyed your dance was very good, but don’t do it again.”

Xu Jiaojiao’s lips twitched as she stood rooted to the ground.

He did not like it at all, did he? Waah…

Qi Shenbai got up, picked up the bowl, and went to the kitchen to wash it.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xu Jiaojiao lying on the sofa with a sad expression.

Qi Shenbai smiled gently and leaned over to whisper into her ear, “You were too illegally cute when you danced like that. Your boyfriend can’t hold himself back anymore.”

As the warm breath blew into her ear, Xu Jiaojiao felt her entire body go numb. She covered her head in embarrassment.

The next day, both of them went downstairs at the same time.

Xu Jiaojiao was wearing a white sweater and a coffee-colored dress.

Qi Shenbai frowned slightly. “Why are you wearing so little? Aren’t you cold?”

“Not at all.”

Qi Shenbai stared at her dress for the entire morning. In the end, he suggested that Xu Jiaojiao change into a pair of pants.

Initially, he did not want to interfere too much with her, but the weather today was really too cold. It was about to drop to zero degrees Celsius. Wouldn’t her legs freeze if she wore a dress?

“There’s no need to change it,” Xu Jiaojiao muttered softly, “Is it ugly?”

“It doesn’t matter if it looks good or not. Keeping warm is more important. You shouldn’t catch a cold.”

Xu Jiaojiao wanted to defend herself, “But I…”

“We’re running out of time. Change into your pants.”

After he finished speaking, Qi Shenbai did not give Xu Jiaojiao a chance to speak and pushed her upstairs..
