Chapter 756
Shine Road was often considered the first impression of City W for outsiders. It was a place of extravagance and
luxury, with various high-end brands setting up their shops there. It was always bustling with people, and the
atmosphere was filled with the allure of materialism. No matter what time of day, the crowds were always
overwhelming, and it was a hub of activity and commerce.
The largest shopping mall in the area was called Star, and it was a favorite destination among wealthy women all
year round. It was considered a landmark building of City W, with a massive LED advertising screen that covered an
entire wall. Even from a distance, the contents of the screen could be clearly seen. However, due to the high cost
of renting the advertising space, only Star's own promotions were typically displayed on the screen. At the moment,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe massive screen was completely black, and the bright lights surrounding it made it even more eye-catching.
Crystal silently began to count down. "Three, two, one."
As the screen lit up, instead of an advertisement, a pixelated figure appeared. The figure was wearing black
clothing and standing expressionless under a cherry blossom tree, with pink petals falling around him.
Another pixelated figure, wearing a white dress, ran over carrying a small cake in her hands. She had a silly smile
on her face as she approaches the first figure. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and cherry blossom petals covered
the entire screen. Slowly, a line of black text appeared on the screen.
Happy Birthday, Harold
Behind it, there was a beating little red heart.
Tonight, all the people on the Shine Road were attracted by this huge advertising screen. Everyone looked up and
talked about it enviously. This building lived up to its name. It could be called the star of City W. Countless people
opened the window and looked at it. The short 28 seconds video instantly refreshed the social platform. Everyone
was talking about which rich young master put in so much effort to make his lover smile.
Even the wind in Flower Land was silent.
Almost at the moment when Harold saw the last line of words, Crystal's soft voice sounded in his ear, "Harold,
happy birthday."

At that moment, Harold didn't even know what he was feeling. He looked at the LED screen with his long eyelashes
slightly lowered. He saw that the little girl's eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.
She stood beside him like a little girl in a white dress, holding the cake with both hands. There was nothing written
on the cake except for the birthday candles. Crystal smiled and said, "I have too many wishes for you. I can't write it
all down on this small cake, but in the next year, I have the opportunity to tell you slowly. I will wish you until the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeptember 29 of next year."
"Happy 28th birthday, Harold!"
Many years later, when Harold recalled that day, he could still remember all the details clearly. Whether it was the
childish style of the video, the uneven cake style, the starry eyes of the little girl, or the soft curved lips, they were
all engraved into his bones.
"What's wrong?" Crystal stood on tiptoe and looked at him. "Although my animation is very ugly and the cake is not
very good-looking..." She frowned and said with grievance, "But I made all these by myself."
It was really hard for a pure science student to draw animations. Crystal almost became bald. Making the 28
second video was even longer than living her whole life.
Harold heaved a sigh of relief, held Crystal's face in his hands, kissed her on the lips, and whispered, "I don't dislike
you. I'm just thinking about how to respond to you since you're so nice."
