today……

It's Chu He's birthday.

but……

Perhaps, no one in this world except Chu He himself remembers her birthday.

The old-fashioned recorder plays the song "Birthday Song" in a loop.

In fact...

Although it is considered a song, the repetitions back and forth are only simple words "Happy Birthday"...

Outside the house is a noisy and bustling world full of reunion and joy. Outside the window, many parents take their children through the not-long road. When crossing the road, the father carries the child on his back, the mother touches the child's head next to him, and then the family of three walks far away.

And inside the house.

Chu He, who had always been very vigilant, silently smiled at the mirror and then gently placed the cake on the table.

She had no idea that there was a hole in the door not far away, and she didn't realize that Shen Lang stood quietly outside the house.

She stared at the candles on the birthday cake, and a trace of yearning flashed in her eyes, as if that can warm her in the darkness, so beautiful.

In a person's life...

There are always the warmest moments.

And now, it is probably the warmest moment.

"Happy birthday to you……"

"Happy birthday to you……"

“…”

Chu He seemed to listen to the same sentence back and forth.

With this sound, Chu He seemed to be trapped in a long and long memory.

………………………………

Since last time I met Chu He's father in Cannes, France.

Shen Lang never saw Chu He's father again.

He originally thought Chu He's father would go home and then look for Chu He, but in fact, Shen Lang seemed to have misunderstood.

He never returned to China, nor did he come to see Chu He.

Even Shen Lang checked the news about Chu He's father. Chu He's father already had his own family and his own children.

Outside the door.

Shen Lang looked at Chu He and listened quietly to "Birthday Song" and looked at the burning candles...

Then, he stayed alone.

I don't know how long it took...

"mom……"

"I miss you so much……"

"Can you tell me what should I do?"

"Sometimes, I'm really, really tired..."

"I don't know what to do..."

“…”

At this moment, Chu He said this to the candle quietly, and he was clearly smiling, but tears flowed out unconsciously under the candlelight. At this moment, Shen Lang realized that she seemed to be smiling.

"I actually...have a good life."

"I have some food and some wear it, and no one cares about me yet. I can do whatever I want... I go to bed whenever I want..."

“…”

A gust of wind blew slightly, and the candlelight swayed slightly, and then Chu He gently protected the candlelight with his hands.

As if I was very afraid that the candlelight would go out.

The door closed slightly again...

Perhaps, because the recorder is still singing birthday songs...

Chu He did not notice the door was closed.

………………………………

"What kind of birthday gifts do girls like the most?"

“Simple…”

"Well, it's a little warmer, that's best to heal, but... just forget about bears or something..."

“…”

Xu Ying's cell phone rang...

Then...

She saw Shen Lang's Soudu account she was following, and Shen Lang asked a new question.

After seeing this, she was a little stunned.

What's the wind in this guy's mind?

After casually returning to a music box, Xu Ying suddenly realized that something was wrong...

This person...

Who are you going to give away?

…………………………

The candlelight finally stopped swaying.

Continue to light gently.

"I've been living very hard... This year, I've been smiling every day too..."

“…”

Chu He said these words quietly.

After saying that, stared at the old-fashioned recorder.

The sound of the recorder slowly began to weaken...

In a huge room.

Chu He carefully stroked the recorder...

For some reason, she felt that she heard the applause. In addition to the applause, there were many blessings.

With tears blurred, she seemed to see a woman, quietly stroking her head.

The woman was very vague, but she felt extremely warm. Then, around her, she seemed to see a tall figure standing next to her, applauding her with a smile.

It seems that I have returned to a very far and far day...

It was her happiest day.

"Happy birthday to you……"

"Happy birthday to you……"

“…”

The sound of the recorder stopped.

Finally, the sound inside the tape was finished.

Then...

Chu He lowered his head.

"Happy birthday to me...Happy birthday to me..."

"Happy birthday to me!"

“…”

She seemed to hear waves of quarrels again, and then, she seemed to hear the sound of dripping in the hospital, and the sound of slamming the door. Each sound of slamming the door made her feel inexplicably fearful, as if there were monsters in the dark...

"wish……"

"I wish you a beautiful and lovely Miss Chu He a happy 25th birthday this year!"

“…”

She said this and tried very hard to applaud herself.
