Ye Jiaqi put the cake on the table. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

The decoration here is pure American style, simple and generous, the lights are turned on in the small private room, and the orange lights are sprinkled, adding countless tranquil warmth.

There are decorative paintings on the walls, and there are beautiful stars in the house.

When the door is closed, it is quiet inside, and no noise can be heard.

Ye Jiaqi glanced at the time, a quarter past five.

They had an appointment of six o'clock, forty-five minutes to go, and it was still early.

Ye Jiaqi didn't know why he came so early, he was cautious, and he was always afraid of making mistakes.

It's like she made this cake with a lot of care.

The long table has dishes, candlesticks, and flowers, and the private room is filled with the fragrance of ylang-ylang essential oil.

There was a faint halo on the ground and on her body, which was the brilliance of the crystal lamp.

Ye Jiaqi sat at the table with his cheeks back, silently watching time move around.

I don't know why, my heart is beating faster, beating hard.

It felt like a first acquaintance, not sixteen years of acquaintance.

They've known each other for sixteen years.

She remembered that on her twentieth birthday, she sat at home and waited for him, and waited.

Later, friends and classmates came, but he was the only one.

He had never allowed her to touch cigarettes and alcohol, but that night, for the first time, she did not listen to him, drank a lot of wine, and drunk herself to the ground.

Although she knew that he didn't like her, she didn't want anything but to let him spend her birthday with her.

Twenty years old, the best years, she doesn't ask for anything else, she just wants him to be by her side.

But she waited and waited until it was almost twelve o'clock, when her friends were gone, and he did not return.

She was already drunk and unconscious, lying alone in the living room talking nonsense, making a lot of trouble.

The sobering tea didn't work, she just waited for him so stubbornly.

You have to wait.

She wondered, after living together for so many years, couldn't he even remember her birthday?

But the truth is, he really can't remember, and she was disappointed.

On that day's birthday, it was very late, almost twelve o'clock, and he came back.

She waited on the couch as usual, but he just said "Happy Birthday" and went to the bedroom.

Maybe it was the intense stimulation of alcohol, maybe it was the extreme sensitivity of her nerves, and she followed him into the bedroom.

At the same time, he also made a mistake that he still can't forgive himself.

He hadn't explained to her why he hadn't come for her birthday, and she hadn't asked again, for he had disappeared from her world since that night.

There is no reason for this.

He won't give her any reason for anything, whether it's authoritarian or domineering, in short, he won't give her any reason.

Do what you want, don't do if you don't want to.

Ye Jiaqi didn't want to think about it, it has been four years.

There's nothing to think about.

In the past four years, she has also had a birthday this year, and when she is older, she doesn't have much expectation for her birthday.

Ye Jiaqi glanced at the wall clock on the wall, half past five.

Since the last time we attended a lecture together, he has disappeared into Chicago, not knowing whether he will return to his home country or go on a business trip.

But he promised her that he could not remember her birthday, but he must have remembered that it was his own birthday.

She said I'll see you at the T-themed restaurant at six o'clock.

He said yes.

I don't know why, my heart chuckled, and a strong feeling filled my heart.

That's what he might, not coming.

This thought was wrapped around her heart.
