Lu Jinnian's lips curved slightly, but he didn't make a sound. The room was so quiet that one could hear the faint sound of the candle burning on the floor. After a long while, Lu Jinnian finally opened his mouth, but he only called her name before he paused. "Qiao Qiao..."
Qiao Anhao lifted her eyelids in confusion, looking at Lu Jinnian. "En?"
Lu Jinnian stared at her with a complicated gaze. He really wanted to tell her that the person he liked was actually her, but he was afraid that if he said it, they wouldn't even have the chance to be friends.
Because he had completely lost her before, he really didn't want to repeat the same mistake. Those five years without her had been so pale and powerless.
Lu Jinnian's heart was a mess, as though he was fighting. After a long while, he cleared his throat and said, "You are a good girl who deserves to be loved."
This was the first time Qiao Anhao had heard such praise from Lu Jinnian. She took in the faint fragrance from his body, and suddenly, she had the urge to ask him, was she really worthy of being loved? If she was so worthy of being loved, then what about him? Why didn't he love her?
Following the impulse in her mind, Lu Jinnian's name really slipped out of her mouth.
But when she saw Lu Jinnian looking at her intently, waiting for her to speak, she didn't have the courage to continue asking.
The time they spent together was the best they had in all the years they had known each other. She was really afraid that the moment she opened her mouth, the beautiful dream would end and the nightmare would come.
After all, even though he said she was a good girl who deserved to be loved, it didn't mean that he would love her.
Qiao Anhao's words were at the tip of her tongue, but in the end, she didn't ask them. Instead, she just said a very soft "Goodnight".
After a long while, Lu Jinnian's voice came from above her head, saying the same two words, "Goodnight."
After that, the two of them didn't talk anymore. They just closed their eyes, looking as though they had fallen asleep, but in their hearts, no one could see, they were thinking about their own secrets.
Coincidentally, that secret was that he loved her and she loved him.
Qiao Anhao couldn't remember how she had fallen asleep last night. When she woke up again, it was already eleven in the morning. Lu Jinnian was no longer in the bedroom.
The candles on the floor had naturally extinguished, leaving only an empty red shell. The balloons on the wall were still the same, telling Qiao Anhao that it wasn't a dream.
Picking up her phone, she saw many birthday messages from her friends and family. As she brushed her teeth, she replied to them one by one before heading downstairs. After lunch, Zhao Meng came to pick her up. She packed her things and was about to leave when she remembered the cake Lu Jinnian had prepared for her. She asked Madam Chen to pack it up and bring it back to the set.
Lu Jinnian didn't have any scenes in the afternoon, so he didn't appear. But in the short few hours, Qiao Anhao realized that she had missed him.
After shooting the afternoon scenes, on the way back to the hotel, she saw Lu Jinnian's car and knew that he was already there. Thinking about the cake she hadn't eaten, she found a reason to look for him.
When she returned to her room, she cut the cake and scooped out a big piece. Just as she was about to carry it upstairs, the phone in her room rang...
