The smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly froze. You Tong remembered that his previous birthdays were all on January 4th. Could it be that... he was born on January 4th?!
No, that's not right.
If she was born on December 31st and he was born on January 4th, then it would be impossible for the two of them to be swapped, because he must have been born before Zhao Wanhua would give her son to the doctor and wait for Gu Yirong
After the birth, the doctor could replace the baby girl with a ready-made baby boy in time. It was impossible for Gu Yirong to give birth to her and then wait for a baby boy who had not had time to be born. In other words...he was born on December 31
He was born on the same day, or a few days before, but which day was it?!
This... I'm afraid there is no answer.
Because everyone who knows the truth is dead.
He... will never know his birthday.
"Achi..." You Tong suddenly felt sad, and his whole heart ached for him, "I'm sorry, Achi, it's all my fault, I took your birthday away, I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
…”
"Fool, how can I blame you?!" Rong Yuchi took her lovingly into his arms, gently stroked her hair, and murmured, "Actually, it's not a big deal if you don't know the day you were born.
, I don’t like celebrating birthdays anyway, so it will be much easier in the future.” His tone was light and indifferent, without a trace of regret, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him.
The more she listened, the more sad she became. His childhood was already so unhappy, and his life was so lonely when he grew up. In the future...if she died, he would be lonely again. Could it be that all of this was destined?
, a person who can’t even know his own birthday, can he really not be happy for the rest of his life?!
"Achi, you have to promise me that you will be good in the future!" She grabbed his hand tightly and said eagerly, as if she was giving her last words.
"Of course. With you and the children, we will be fine!" He comforted her gently, but her heart became more and more sad. She really wanted to join hands with him in the next few decades.
Side by side, the pain he has endured for more than twenty years, the unspeakable suffering, and the tears that cannot be shed are all shared by her. She not only wants to be his girlfriend, his lover, but also his
family, but...she doesn't have much time left.
She curled up tightly in his arms like a bird with injured wings, and he felt the weight of her body and felt a very warm feeling in his heart.
"Ah Chi, how about you celebrate your birthday on January 4th from now on, and let's exchange it!" She desperately wanted to find a way to make up for the shortcomings in his life.
Rong Yuchi felt a sudden surge of emotion in his chest. He knew that she wanted to comfort him, and he was moved by her concern.
"Don't you like January 4th?!" She bit her lip and asked with a trembling voice.
"Of course I don't like it." He held her face, his eyes were soft, and love surged in his chest. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "January 4th was probably the day when you were brought to Tainan.
No, besides...if I celebrate my birthday on January 4th, wouldn't I be younger than you? I don't like brother-sister relationships, I like to be a big man, and you will be my little girl!"
"What are you talking about?!" The sour mood in her heart was suddenly resolved by his teasing, and her cheeks turned slightly red.
He took out a tissue and helped her wipe away the tears on her face. She hugged his waist tightly and gently nestled her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, "It doesn't matter which day I was born. Anyway, you will be here from now on."
Anyone around me will be as happy as a birthday 365 days a year."
His words once again triggered the sadness in her heart, but she forced herself to show a strong smile. No matter how many days she could live, one day at a time, she had to accompany him well every day, so that his life would be shortened.
A little sad, a little more happy, a little less lonely, a little more happiness.
His eyes locked with hers, and each other's eyes reflected each other's faces. They looked at each other and smiled, with deep affection flowing in their eyes.
"Achi, will you blame mom?!" She didn't specify which mother it was, but he understood that she was talking about two mothers.
He shook his head, "What's the point of talking about this now." After a pause, he asked her again, "What about you?!"
"Of course not." She showed a bright smile, giving herself a smile in the morning and planting sunshine all day long.

Hospital.
The weather today is very good, the sun is very warm, and the winter jasmine flowers are blooming just right. They are bright yellow, dignified and beautiful, bringing a sense of warmth to people.
You Tong used a wheelchair to push Gu Yirong for a walk in the garden below the hospital building. After a while, he slowly stopped. She bent down and carefully covered the blanket on her mother's lap, then took it out of the bag and washed it.
of fruits.
"Mom, these are your favorite grapes. I washed them. Come on, have a taste." She half-crouched, picked up a fresh grape and brought it to Gu Yirong's mouth.
This season's grapes are grown in greenhouses, and some pesticides are sprinkled on them. She first put the grapes into water, then took a small amount of flour, soaked them for a while, then gently rubbed them with her hands and washed them clean.
Gu Yirong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, quickly opened her pale lips, took the grapes fed by her daughter, and smiled happily.
Although she no longer had any desire to eat, she wanted to eat the grapes that Xiaotong fed herself. Such happiness made her eyes sore, and every time she chewed, she couldn't help but want to cry.
After Gu Yirong finished eating one grape, You Tong wiped the corners of her mother's mouth with tissue paper, and then picked up the second grape to feed her.
However, Gu Yirong could no longer hold back her emotions and couldn't eat anymore. She swallowed hard the sour emotions, gently held You Tong's hand, reluctantly raised her lips, and deliberately made her voice sound energetic.
"Xiaotong, mom knows that you are a kind and sensible child, so you won't hate me, but I hate myself so much. If I hadn't been obsessed with things back then, your life wouldn't be like this."
"Mom..." You Tong held her mother's skinny hand and said sincerely, "Mom, don't say that, I don't blame you, really!"
"Xiaotong, do you want to know who your father is?!"
