She ran away from him and was not to be offended by her sickly brother.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

The familiar sentences and intonation suddenly brought Meng Xia back to the time when Huo Xibai was drunk and hugged her all night and said he was sorry for that day, and then he suddenly realized it!

He is still struggling with this?

Because she jumped from a building on his birthday five years ago, so he has been worried that she has not forgiven him?

"You're talking about... five years ago?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the man's body stiffen, and then he hugged her even harder, his voice choked with excitement, "I...I thought you never wanted to mention that thing again, so for so many years, I never could." Birthday, I didn’t expect…”

He didn't expect that she would actually offer to celebrate his birthday today...

Never celebrated your birthday?

Meng Xia was stunned. In an instant, everything came together in her mind. No wonder the man who always made a big fuss about trivial matters like "first date" and "one week together" was unusually silent on his birthday yesterday. Didn't even mention it...

Was it because he was afraid that she would be sad thinking about that?

Huo Xibai hugged her so hard that her heart contracted for a while. Meng Xia narrowed her eyes and didn't know what to say. There was an inexplicable bitterness in her mouth. It took a while before she heard her own voice. ——

"Are you stupid? Since I have agreed to be with you, of course I won't hate you anymore because of that incident."

After all, no matter what, she would not be with someone who always held a grudge.

"……real?"

His body stiffened, and the man's voice was filled with disbelief.

"..."

His eyes flickered, but Meng Xia didn't say anything. She took the initiative to hug him and answered him directly with actions.

The two hugged each other in the dark for a while, until Meng Xia couldn't help but push him, "How long do you plan to hug? Don't you want to eat cake?"

"……okay."

Hearing this, Huo Xibai let go of her as if he was startled.

Meng Xia took out her mobile phone from her pocket, walked to the electric switch, stretched out her hand and pushed it——

The room suddenly became brighter. Huo Xibai closed his eyes uncomfortably, and then Meng Xia pulled him to the living room, "Okay, let's cut the cake."

Just as he picked up the knife and fork, he turned back as if he remembered something, "Did you not make a wish just now? You need to light the candle again..."

Before he finished his sentence, his eyes suddenly caught sight of the man's slightly red eyes, and he couldn't help but pause.

Huo Xibai seemed to realize it, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he still walked over and said, "No, what I want has been achieved anyway."

As he said that, he walked over and grabbed Meng Xia's hand, led her to cut the cake together, and used a fork to take the strawberries dipped in cream on top and fed it to her mouth, but Meng Xia pushed her away, "It's your birthday. Of course you take one bite."

Huo Xibai still insisted, "But I want you to eat it more."

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Meng Xia complied with his wishes, opened his mouth to bite it, and then cut a piece of cake for him.

"No matter what happened before, I don't care about it anymore since I promised to be with you, so don't worry about it anymore."

"..."

His heart trembled, Huo Xibai stared at the cake delivered to him for a long time and couldn't calm down——

Unexpectedly, he had regretted everything in the past five years, and even dreamed about her lying in a pool of blood at midnight, but she let it go easily...

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Meng Xia had no choice but to pick up a small piece and feed it to him. "This is the restaurant where I grew up eating. I just ordered it secretly while you weren't paying attention. Can you try it?"

"..."

Not sure if he understood, Huo Xibai opened his mouth and bit down, but he swallowed it directly without even biting, "Well, it's very sweet."

He had never tasted anything so sweet.
