I relied on my heart to play badly in front of my husband, an officer.

Bai Youyou's birthday is November 18th, and her school is still on a 25-day wheat harvest holiday.

On her birthday, Sheng Zeyan took a day off to celebrate her birthday. As early as the day before, he took Bai Youyou to the army and used the army's phone to call everyone in the Bai family who were far away in their hometown.

On the phone, they also wished Bai Youyou a happy birthday in advance.

Bai Youyou originally had no plans to celebrate her birthday. After all, in modern times, she was abandoned at the door of an orphanage by her biological parents as soon as she was born.

It was raining heavily that day. If the orphanage director had not come home from out and heard her weak cry at the door, she would probably have died in that rainy day.

These are what the dean's mother told her when she was five years old.

So from that time on she no longer liked celebrating her birthday.

But here, she became another Bai Youyou. This Bai Youyou had a family that loved her. Bai Youyou saw it in her memory.

From childhood to adulthood, every time it was her birthday, no matter how poor her family was, they would give her a relatively sumptuous birthday.

So when Sheng Zeyan took a day off to celebrate her birthday and said he would take her to the city, she was moved.

She also wanted to have a birthday as happy as the one in her memory.

That morning, Zhang Ru got up early and specially made her a bowl of longevity noodles and fried two eggs for her breakfast.

When Bai Youyou got up and saw the longevity noodles and eggs, her eyes moistened and she gave Zhang Ru a big hug. She held Zhang Ru in her arms and said with a choked voice:

"Mom, why are you so nice to me? You even remember my birthday. I'm so touched."

Zhang Ru was held by Bai Youyou, unable to move. She patted her back gently to comfort her:

"Silly child, if Mommy isn't good to you, who can I be good to?

"Okay, okay, you're already grown up, and you're still crying. Go wash your face and brush your teeth! Otherwise, the noodles will get cold soon."

Bai Youyou hugged Zhang Ru and said coquettishly:

"No, I want to hold you for a while longer, Mom, please let me hold you for a while longer! Just a while."

Zhang Ru smiled gently, "Okay, Mom lets you hold me. You can hold me for as long as you want."

Bai Youyou chuckled, "Hehe, I knew mom treats me the best."

Sheng Zeyan looked at the mother and daughter hugging each other, then looked at the table with only a bowl of noodles on it, and said with a bit of jealousy in his tone: "Mom, where are my noodles! You didn't make them for me, did you?

Mom, where is your heart going? You should know that I am your biological son."

Zhang Ru looked at Sheng Zeyan who was pretending to be sad and said:

"I know you are my biological son! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such a good daughter-in-law."

"Mom, so in your mind, my role is to marry you such a good daughter-in-law." Sheng Zeyan was helpless.

Seeing his helpless look, Bai Youyou smiled and said to him:

"Hehe, I know mom loves me the most. Just stand aside!"

Sheng Zeyan pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, you two can have fun today, I won't make trouble." Then he made a gesture to leave.

Bai Youyou quickly grabbed him and said, "Oh, I was just kidding. Let's go out and play together." Sheng Zeyan raised the corner of his mouth with a barely perceptible smile.

Zhang Ru looked at them with a smile and said, "Alright, you two, go wash your faces and brush your teeth quickly, or your face will get clumpy.

"Hey, okay my dear mother, let's go now."

Bai Youyou obediently let go of Sheng Zeyan's hand, ran to wash up, and then sat at the dining table to eat longevity noodles.

The taste of her mother spread in her mouth, making her feel warm in her heart.

After breakfast, Sheng Zeyan originally wanted to take the mother and daughter with him, but Zhang Ru said she would not go with them no matter what.

In the end, there was no choice but for Sheng Zeyan to take Bai Youyou with him to the city.

When I came to the city, I saw the busy streets filled with a lively atmosphere.

Sheng Zeyan first took her to the department store and bought her a beautiful skirt with delicate flower patterns embroidered on it.

Bai Youyou couldn't let it go. After buying it, she changed into it right away in the changing room of the store.

Then, as they were strolling around, they saw a photo studio. Bai Youyou was very excited and took Sheng Zeyan's hand and walked in.

After entering, Sheng Zeyan went to negotiate with a smile:

"Hello, let's take a photo."

The boss, who was cleaning the camera, looked up from behind the counter and saw them, and greeted them warmly.

The boss said with a smile:

"You two are such a perfect match. Are you taking wedding photos?"

Bai Youyou's face flushed instantly, but Sheng Zeyan smiled brightly and said:

"Yes, boss, please take a few pictures for us." Bai Youyou gave him a reproachful look.

"Haha, okay, you two really are a perfect match. I've been running the photo studio for so long, but I've never seen a couple as well-matched as you two."

The boss laughed and arranged for them to sit down and take pictures.

Bai Youyou heard the boss's words and asked:

"Boss, how long has your photo studio been open?"

The boss, fiddling with his camera, replied nonchalantly, "Oh, it's been open for three or four months!"

When Bai Youyou heard that the boss dared to say it was a long time after only being open for three or four months, she could only laugh awkwardly.

"Okay, both of you look here, that's right, please come a little closer, yes, yes. Just like that." The two of them were following the boss's instructions.

The first photo of them was taken in the photo. In the photo, the two of them were very close to each other with happy smiles on their faces.

"You two, the photos will take three days to develop, please come back and pick them up in three days!

Here's the receipt, keep it safe. The total cost is two dollars and fifty-eight cents." The studio owner handed Bai Youyou a receipt and then told Sheng Zeyan about the price.

His action only made Bai Youyou laugh. Looking at Sheng Zeyan's expressionless face, he smiled and said to the boss:

"Two dollars and fifty-eight, right? Let me do it!"

My husband had no money, so he gave me all his money."

The boss knew it was a misunderstanding and was not embarrassed. He just smiled and said, "It's true that soldiers love their wives. Brother, you are our role model."

They left the photo studio with the boss's smile.

Then they walked into a cloth shop. Bai Youyou saw a piece of blue cotton cloth and wanted to buy it to make a new dress for Sheng Zeyan.

Bai Youyou was happily choosing cloth, accompanied by Sheng Zeyan.

At this moment, a thief suddenly snatched a passerby's wallet and ran away quickly.

After being seen by Sheng Zeyan, he said to Bai Youyou:

"Wife, wait for me here, don't go anywhere, I'll be back soon." After saying that, he chased after her without hesitation.

The thief was subdued in a short while and the wallet was returned to the owner.

Bai Youyou, who was in the store, looked at his agile figure, her heart full of admiration and love.

Around noon, they arrived at the state-owned restaurant and ordered several signature dishes of Shengze Yan.

While eating, Sheng Zeyan took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Bai Youyou.

Bai Youyou was very happy when she saw a pair of small gold earrings inside.

"Husband, when did you buy this? How come I don't know?"

Sheng Zeyan looked at her happy expression and said, "I asked a friend to buy it for me after I came back from my hometown."

"Hubby, you're the best."

Bai Youyou put on the earrings happily, her eyes full of surprise.

"Well, as long as you like it." Bai Youyou was very happy in this warm atmosphere.

Bai Youyou was immersed in happiness the whole day. She felt the deep love of this family, and the haze about her birthday in her heart completely dissipated.
