"Mr. Han, I wish you a happy birthday." The baker and everyone in the restaurant stood around them, smiling and congratulating him.

Han Li looked at Pei Yanyu who was also looking at him earnestly, and smiled politely, "Thank you."

"Make a wish!" It was the little girl who delivered the first dish just now who said this.

Han Li wanted to laugh, but he held back.He glanced at the date on the phone, and immediately knew why Pei Yanyu thought it was his birthday.

It turned out that Pei Yanyu had been extraordinarily attentive and nervous all day long, all because of preparing for this.I don't know when Pei Yanyu chose this private restaurant, and contacted the people in the restaurant to arrange all of this. No wonder he insisted on eating here.

Seeing Pei Yanyu's earnest expression, Han Li pursed his lips and smiled.

Han Li had never made a wish on the cake since he graduated from elementary school.Now that he wants to do this kind of thing in public, Han Li resists and rejects it from the bottom of his heart, but Pei Yanyu seems to be looking forward to it, as if he is the birthday star.

Han Li reluctantly kept calm, crossed his fingers, pretended to close his eyes for a while, opened them and said, "Okay."

"Blow out the candles." Pei Yanyu suppressed his excitement and urged.

He raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, leaned closer to the cake, and blew lightly to blow out the candle stuck on the cake.

"Happy birthday!" The restaurant staff around once again congratulated in unison.

Han Li's back was stiff, but he kept a polite smile on his face and said again, "Thank you."

"This is what we should do, and it's all arranged by Mr. Pei." The baker said, pulling out the candles that were extinguished.

Seeing him picking up a cake knife to cut a cake for them, Han Li said, "I don't need to trouble you, we can do it ourselves." Saying this, he reached out to the baker.

The baker was slightly taken aback, and handed the cake knife to Han Li.

Seeing this, the receptionist said in a timely manner: "Then, let's take our leave first. I wish you two a pleasant meal."

"Thank you." Pei Yanyu said gratefully.

After finally waiting for the unrelated people to leave and the lights in the lobby to return to normal brightness, Han Li heaved a sigh of relief.

The cake in front of him was exquisitely shaped, with a small cream piano and a street lamp. Han Li curled his lips and smiled. The cake knife swayed slightly on the top of the cake. He looked up at Pei Yanyu and asked, "Will this cake be cut open?" No diamond ring?"

Hearing this, Pei Yanyu was stunned.This kind of arrangement was already the limit he could think of. He didn't expect Han Li to say this.

It is true that in those movies, cutting open the cake and discovering the engagement ring inside, but does Han Li want that?Seeing the faint smile in Han Li's eyes, Pei Yanyu was not sure, vaguely felt that Han Li was teasing him, and said with a sneer, "No."

"Why not?" Han Li feigned anger.

Han Li was very preoccupied while eating, Pei Yanyu thought that he would be pleasantly surprised and touched when the birthday cake appeared, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Uh..." Feeling his failure, Pei Yanyu was frustrated, and said in embarrassment, "Because it's a birthday cake... I didn't think about proposing..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Han Li laughing out loud, which surprised him.

Han Li couldn't hold back his laughter, lifted his chin with a cake knife, looked lightly across his face, and said slowly, "But, dear baby, today is not my birthday."

Hearing this, Pei Yanyu was completely stunned.He didn't have time to be shy about what Han Li called him. He struggled to process the information he had just received, and asked dully, "No, isn't it? But your ID card clearly says today."

"It was reported by Han Xiaolian." Han Li told the truth indifferently, cut a piece of cake and put it in front of Pei Yanyu, "She doesn't remember when I was born."

Unexpectedly, what Pei Yanyu thought was the most celebrated and memorable day turned out to be a sad and cold date for Han Li.Thinking that he had arranged so many people to sing "Happy Birthday Song" to Han Li, hoping that this would be a huge surprise for Han Li, Pei Yanyu was extremely embarrassed and discouraged.What was Han Li thinking when he heard the birthday song just now?He should find it very ironic, right?

"I'm sorry, I thought..." Pei Yanyu really wished nothing had happened, he sighed in disappointment, he couldn't look Han Li in the eyes with guilt, covered his forehead, and muttered, "Oh, I really want to find a pile of sand like an ostrich , plunge in."

After listening, Han Li whispered meaningfully: "Okay, it just so happens that the butt is sticking up."

"Ah." Pei Yanyu was feeling ashamed, but unexpectedly Han Li would say such a joke, he let out a cry of surprise, and his face instantly turned red up to his neck.

He whispered flusteredly: "What are you talking about..."

"Okay, let's eat the cake. Anyway, I don't know when my birthday is. From now on, let's take it as today." Han Li shrugged and said indifferently.

Pei Yanyu stared blankly at him, but instead he gave him a questioning look.Pei Yanyu shook his head in a hurry, took the cake knife and said, "Let me cut it for you."

"Okay." Han Li crossed his fingers, sat in peace of mind and waited for his cake, raised his chin again, and directed, "I want that piano."

Hearing this, Pei Yanyu was slightly relieved.

"Okay." He carefully cut off the whole piece of cake and put it on Han Li's plate, "Here."

"Thank you." Han Li picked up the fork, took a mouthful of cream and put it into his mouth. The cream slipped away and flowed gently down the coating of his tongue into his esophagus.

Pei Yanyu looked at him nervously and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's very sweet." Han Li glanced at his cake, "Take a look."

"Okay." Pei Yanyu picked up the fork, looked at the cake in front of him, scooped out a large spoonful and ate it into his mouth.Because of the sweetness of the cake, the anxiety and loss just now slowly disintegrated.

If Han Li didn't know when his birthday was, how did he celebrate his birthday since he was a child?Did he not have a birthday?

These questions remained in Pei Yanyu's heart.He knew that everything about Han Xiaolian was a wound that Han Li couldn't let go of. Han Li couldn't get rid of these wounds, and said it would hurt every time, so he simply didn't ask.

They shared this sweet and soft cream cake calmly, smiling at each other from time to time when their eyes met.

Halfway through eating, Han Li licked the cream on his lips and asked suddenly, "By the way, do you have any other birthday surprises?"

"Huh?" Pei Yanyu didn't expect it, and was immediately stopped by the question.

Looking at his dumbfounded look, he knew there must be no one. Han Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "That's it? Just a birthday cake?"

"No..." But Pei Yanyu really didn't think about anything else, he thought this was enough, who knew it wasn't Han Li's birthday at all.What he didn't expect was that after Han Li suddenly decided that his birthday would be on this date, he made more requests.

what can he doThe old-fashioned "promise with your body"?If you say this, will you be unable to get out of bed the next morning?Pei Yanyu still thought about taking a part-time job.

However, on the one hand, he was thinking about having a part-time job, and on the other hand, he was thinking about that matter greedily, vaguely feeling that it would be exciting not to be able to get out of bed.

The more Pei Yanyu thought about it, the more embarrassed he became, he hesitated and said, "I really have no other plan..." He racked his brains but couldn't come up with it, so he could only ask, "What do you want to do? Or what do you want? As long as it's me can give."

Han Li thoughtfully, shook the fork in his hand, and the cream left on the fork seemed to rippling a sweet and seductive fragrance in the air.He picked up a smear of cream on the cake, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip lightly.

Pei Yanyu stared at the cream on his lips, his brain felt like it was going to explode.

"You can accompany me to a place later." Han Li said suddenly.

These words poured a pot of sobriety on Pei Yanyu, he was startled, nodded quickly, and agreed without thinking: "Okay."

The clerks in the private restaurant didn't know the truth about his birthday, so when Pei Yanyu and the others checked out and left, they kindly wished Han Li a happy birthday again.

Pei Yanyu was very embarrassed about this matter, but he managed to slow down a bit, but when the receptionist mentioned it, he was extremely embarrassed again.

Han Li was in a happy mood, smiling and thanking those who sent blessings.

Pei Yanyu originally thought that he was making fun of himself, but later he found out that Han Li was really happy, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Han Li." When they came to the parking lot, Pei Yanyu thought about it and said, "If you are willing, I will celebrate your birthday every year from now on, okay?"

Han Li pressed the electronic car lock and was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. After a while, he smiled and said, "Okay."

With Han Li's words, Pei Yanyu was relieved a lot.They got into the car, Pei Yanyu fastened his seat belt, and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Han Li pondered for a moment, and when Pei Yanyu had gathered enough curiosity, he smiled and said, "Go shopping."

Hearing this, Pei Yanyu was astonished.Just now when Han Li proposed to go to a certain place, Pei Yanyu thought it was some important place, but never thought it would be shopping.But he and Han Li hadn't strolled outside for a long time. Since Han Li was in such a mood, of course he would accompany him.

After dinner time, the city center was full of traffic.

On weekend nights, people traveling together can be seen everywhere on the street.

Han Li opened the sunroof of the car, and the hot summer air slid into the car along the airflow, becoming very gentle, blowing over their heads and pouring into their clothes, making them very comfortable.

At an intersection waiting for a traffic light, Pei Yanyu saw a young couple pushing a stroller through the crosswalk in front of them. The scene was very warm.

When the green light came on, there was still an old man who was staggering and couldn't pass the sidewalk completely. Han Li waited for a while until the road was clear before driving forward.

Although he has been studying in this city for more than three years, Pei Yanyu spent most of his time in school. Apart from the part-time job, he is not familiar with other places in the city.Every time he leaves school and goes out to do errands, he always has a strong sense of strangeness when he looks at the hurried pedestrians and the buildings lined up on the street.

Sitting in Han Li's car looking at the outside world now, Pei Yanyu also felt strange, but fortunately, there was a familiar person beside him, and the feeling of loneliness caused by strangeness was not so strong in his heart.

Han Li grew up in this city, so he should be very familiar with it.Pei Yanyu happily suggested: "How about, let's go to the places you used to go to? When you were in school, where did you like to go?"

After hearing this, Han Li's expression became quieter.

After a while, he smiled lightly and said, "When I was studying here, I hardly went shopping. Unless one day Han Xiaolian was in a good mood and wanted to pull me out as a foil."

Unexpectedly and inadvertently mentioned Han Li's sadness, Pei Yanyu let out a regretful oh.

"I'm going to take you to a place where I used to go on dates with some clients." Seeing him ashamed, Han Li suddenly said.

Pei Yanyu was startled, and frowned displeasedly.

Han Li raised the corners of his mouth with a triumphant smile.
