When she got closer, she saw that the man had a cigarette in one hand and a pen in the other. His eyes were fixed on the pen, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Qiao Anhao bit her bottom lip, moving closer to where he was standing. Lu Jinnian, who had been in a daze, finally realized that someone was approaching. He abruptly turned his head, and his cold gaze swept over Qiao Anhao. He quickly stuffed the recording pen into his pocket, and asked in a cold voice, "Who let you in?"
It had been a long time since Lu Jinnian had used such a cold tone to speak to her.
Qiao Anhao shivered uncomfortably. She looked at him timidly, and realized that his expression was frighteningly cold. Qiao Anhao started to panic again. Instinctively, she tightened her grip on the gift box in her hands, and gulped. She closed her eyes, and handed it to him. In a soft and gentle voice, she said, "This is for you."
After saying these three words, Qiao Anhao realized that her heart was beating faster than it could bear.
She felt that at this moment, she felt exactly the same as when she carried that meticulously written love letter in her arms and traveled thousands of miles to Hangzhou to find him. Apprehension, uneasiness, nervousness, and excitement. In just a short minute, her palms were wet and covered with a layer of sweat.
Lu Jinnian once again turned his head indifferently. He glanced at the blue gift box in Qiao Anhao's small, fair hands, and furrowed his brows. His gaze fell on Qiao Anhao's head in confusion, but he didn't reach his hand out to take it.
Qiao Anhao didn't know how long had passed, but her hands were starting to ache from holding the gift box. She felt even more uneasy, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at him. She realized that his gaze was deep and cold, like a thousand year old snow, staring straight at her. Qiao Anhao's fingers trembled, and she instinctively took a step back. In a small voice, she said, "Happy birthday."
Qiao Anhao's voice was low, but Lu Jinnian could hear her clearly.
His cold and delicate face froze in an instant. Shock flashed across his eyes as he stared at Qiao Anhao's head, as though he wasn't sure. After a while, he faintly asked, "What did you say?"
This was the first thing he had said since he had returned home. Even though it was just four words, it made her relax.
She grew a little braver. Lifting her head, she stared at Lu Jinnian's cold face and repeated her words. "Happy birthday."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Happy birthday!"
Qiao Anhao repeated "Happy Birthday" twice, making him sure that he hadn't heard wrongly.
Happy birthday … It was a very simple phrase, but it was so unfamiliar to him.
Thinking about it carefully, it should have been seventeen or eighteen years since the last time he heard these four words, right?
Lu Jinnian wanted to say something, but his throat felt like it was blocked by something. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
