Shen Yinong went up to the second floor with the cake in her hands, her steps brisk. Xiao Yinhuan heard the creaking sound of her footsteps on the stairs, approaching step by step.

She lit the candle outside the door and played the Happy Birthday song on her phone. As soon as she opened the door, the music started and Shen Yinong sang along, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... I wish you good health, peace, and may you always be loved."

It was a sunny day and the moonlight was gentle. It squeezed in from the carved window and shone on Xiao Yinhuan, making his profile look surprisingly deep and soft.

He looked towards the door and it opened, draping orange light behind her.

The little girl held a tray in front of her chest with both hands. There was a round dessert on the tray. A candle was burning on the dessert, blurring her eyes. She hummed a cheerful song he had never heard of. Her eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, and she walked towards him with a smile.

Fu Ya, Fu Xuan and Ping An followed her and sang along with her, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... I wish you peace, I wish you good health, and I hope you will always be loved."

The melody is cheerful and pleasant.

It was pitch black all around, and she was the only light. Her eyes sparkled, like a beam of light shining down from the dark abyss, making people wish that the light would always shine only on their heads and that they would have it all to themselves forever.

She walked up to him, looked into his eyes, her eyebrows curved, the corners of her lips curled up, and she surrounded him and sang the song again.

Ping'an, Fuya and Fuxuan raised their hands and threw flower petals at him.

After the song was over, Shen Yinong held the cake in front of Xiao Yinhuan and said in a cheerful and loud voice, "Xiao Yinhuan, happy birthday! May you have this day every year, may you be safe, may you be happy, and may you be loved forever."

Hearing the words "Every year has this day, every year has this day", Xiao Yinhuan was successfully amused by her, "Shen Yinong, from what you said, you think I'm old, an old man, right?"

"No, I hope you live a long life."

"You come blow out the candles and make a birthday wish."

Ping An looked at their master, who sat there quietly, blending into the night.

He looked up at Miss Shen, his eyes burning with sparks, and his eyes were filled with overwhelming pampering and tenderness. He thought that his master would not do what Miss Shen said.

But Xiao Yinhuan turned his eyes to the dessert. It was a round cake he had never seen before. It was steamed and fluffy, and exuded a very sweet fragrance.

It was decorated beautifully with fruits and flower petals. He saw the note at a glance. It said, "Xiao Yinhuan, I wish you a happy 25th birthday. I wish you a life without worries and always smiling."

His eyes moved slightly, and he was about to reach out to take it, but Shen Yinong patted his hand.

"Xiao Yinhuan, make a wish first, then blow out the candles and see what happens. Birthday wishes are very effective."

The little girl sat opposite him, looking at him expectantly. He looked at the words "Happy Birthday" on the cake. Although he knew that making a wish was useless, he never pinned his hopes on making a wish or praying to gods.

He always used all means to get what he wanted and went to get it himself.

But that moment.

He saw the bright expectation in her eyes, and he guessed that if he said that making a wish was useless, she would definitely lower her head in disappointment and dejection.

Shen Yinong’s smile was very beautiful, and he inexplicably didn’t want to see her disappointment.

His Adam's apple moved and he said "OK".

"You should close your eyes like me, clench your hands, make a wish, and then blow out the candle in one breath." Shen Yinong demonstrated the movements to him.

Xiao Yinhuan did as he was told.

Shen Yinong saw him folding his arms, clenching his hands and raising them to his chin, praying devoutly, like a believer in a temple, his outline seeming even more profound under the candlelight.

After he made a wish, he did not blow out the candles. He just looked at her through the candlelight, with infinite tenderness.

"Blow out the candle, Xiao Yinhuan." Shen Yinong pointed at the candle and said, "Blow it."

"Shen Yinong, what do you want?"

"Ah? Big brother, it's your birthday, you should make a wish for yourself, why are you asking me what I want?"

Just at this moment, Xiao Yinhuan suddenly wanted to put the best thing in the world in front of her.

As long as she could tell him what she wanted, he would go through fire and water to get it for her.

Seeing that he was just sitting there, looking lazy, and not blowing out the candles, Shen Yinong became anxious, stood up, walked to his side, and patted his arm, "Xiao Yinhuan, blow out the candles."

Xiao Yinhuan glanced sideways and saw her scallion-thin hand on his arm. He hummed and blew out the candle in one breath.

As the candles went out, Ping'an and the others gradually lit up the lanterns in the house, and then they retreated.

"Shen Yinong, you asked Ping An and the others to beat egg whites all afternoon just to make this?"

"Yeah, that's right. Don't be too touched. My family always buys me a cake like that on my birthday. Xiao Yinhuan, you deserve it too."

It seemed as if there was a slight moisture in his eyes. Looking at the petals falling on his shoulders and her sitting opposite him with a curved brow, his heart beat more and more passionately and wildly. The veins on Xiao Yinhuan's hands, which were casually placed on the table, were bulging.

The warmth penetrates every part of my body, and something in my heart is sinking and sinking.

Suddenly I wanted to hug her.

Suddenly, he wanted to hide her so that only he could see her.

He looked into her eyes and said, "Shen Yinong, what if my birthday wish is that you can spend every birthday with me from now on?"

"Huh? Birthday wishes can't be spoken out loud, and how can you make such a random wish?"

I am a person who can travel through time. I was born a thousand years later. The modern era is my era. Everything in Jin State is just a coincidence. Maybe I can only accompany you for this birthday. How can I accompany you every year?

"Will you agree?"

Shen Yinong shook his head honestly, "No."

Don't promise things you can't do.

The fire in her eyes was extinguished instantly. Xiao Yinhuan stared at her closely, his voice full of bitterness, "Why?"

Because I'm not from here.

Next time I go back to the modern era, I may not be able to travel back.

"You will get married in the future, and your wife will be the one who will accompany you for the rest of your life. We are friends, and friends are people who can only accompany you for a short period of time."

Oh, my friend.

What if he doesn't want to be friends with her?

"Shen Yinong, you have to accompany me on every birthday from now on. Don't say no."

"No."

"Why not?"

"No, I won't necessarily be by your side then."

He looked not very well.

Shen Yinong took out a blue lighter from her bag and handed it to him, "Xiao Yinhuan, I just found out it's your birthday this afternoon, and I didn't have time to prepare a birthday present for you. This is a lighter, it's very convenient to light a fire. There is a switch here, you press and slide it, and it will light up. I'm giving it to you."

This way they are often in the wild, so it is convenient to light a fire, which is very practical.

Xiao Yinhuan took it.

It is a pure blue lighter with a flip top and clear water-marked patterns. You can feel the touch when you rub it with your fingertips and the texture is very good.
