The tears in her eyes grew thicker and thicker, eventually turning into mist. They hung in the corners of her eyes, making it hard for her to see the scene in front of her. She could only vaguely make out the candlelight. She tried her best to lift the corners of her lips, wanting to say "Thank you", but the moment she moved her lips, tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
Lu Jinnian held the cake with one hand, freeing the other to wipe away the tears on her face. In a gentle voice, he reminded her, "It's time to make a wish."
Qiao Anhao hurriedly nodded, a few more drops of tears falling down her cheeks. The corners of her lips curled up even more, and she closed her eyes to make a wish. When she was done, she opened her eyes, another stream of tears falling down her cheeks. She took a deep breath and blew out the candles. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Lu Jinnian with a radiant smile, and her voice was a little choked up. "Thank you..."
She wanted to say something, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't say anything. Her tears fell even harder.
She had liked him for so many years, but she had only cried once in front of him, and it was just one drop. At that time, he had taken one look at her, then turned to leave. From then on, no matter how he treated her, even if she cried, she would hide and cry alone.
It had been so long since the night of his birthday, and even though she had felt so wronged that night, she had never cried like this. But now, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but her tears just wouldn't stop.
Lu Jinnian looked at Qiao Anhao, who was crying like a child, and felt a little flustered. He placed the cake on the coffee table beside him, and even though he looked calm and collected as he wiped her tears, his trembling fingers betrayed his panic. In the end, he said in a tense voice, "Don't cry..."
Deep down, Qiao Anhao felt that her crying was a little pretentious, but most of the time, women were strange creatures. When faced with a really sad situation, even though they should cry, they wouldn't shed a single tear, but when they should laugh, they would cry like a mess. She tried her best to stop her tears, and in the end, she laughed out loud. In the end, she reached out and hugged his waist, burying her head in his chest.
His body froze. It wasn't until he felt her tears soaking through his shirt and his chest that he reached out and gently stroked her back. His movements were a little stiff.
Qiao Anhao gradually calmed down, burying herself in his arms. She wiped away her tears, then raised her head. With a pair of red eyes, she smiled brightly at Lu Jinnian. "Sorry, I lost control of my emotions..."
Because she had cried, her eyes were especially bright. When she smiled, she looked a little childish, and there was even a drop of tears on her face.
Qiao Anhao smiled again. "I didn't want to cry..."
Lu Jinnian was a little entranced. Instinctively, he raised his hand and used his fingertips to brush away her tears, but his hand remained on her cheek. Qiao Anhao suddenly stopped speaking. Her big, bright eyes stared innocently into his.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, their gazes tightly glued together. The atmosphere in the room became a little ambiguous.
