When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Although the An Family always prepared birthday gifts for him over the years, they never really celebrated properly, usually giving them to him whenever they met, either early or late.

Cake?

Birthday cake?

Xi Siyan remembered when he was with the Li Family, and his half-brother celebrated his sixth birthday, the Li Family prepared a cake six tiers high, celebrating both his birthday and his upcoming start in elementary school.

Xi Siyan recalled that he didn’t feel much at the time, given the age difference, he wasn’t really affected by the whole birthday celebration thing, but now...

Looking at the small two-tier cake in front of him, and the girl with bright eyes before him, Xi Siyan realized that perhaps, back then, he did feel something. That feeling was envy.

He was always indifferent, but now, his eyes felt a bit warm.

Suppressing the emotions surging in his heart, Xi Siyan smiled, "Where are the candles?"

"Here, here."

Zhou Chengchen quickly grabbed two number candles from nearby and lit them, then took out her phone, opened the recording and played a piano melody of "Happy Birthday" that emerged slowly.

This is what she played for him.

Zhou Chengchen looked at Xi Siyan with excitement, "Make a wish."

Most guys don’t believe or engage in this kind of stuff, but now, Xi Siyan slowly closed his eyes, fists resting under his chin.

May I have full-fledged wings to protect your happiness for a lifetime.

"Happy birthday, happy birthday."

Watching Xi Siyan slowly open his eyes, Zhou Chengchen somehow pulled out a paper confetti popper, and with a "pop," colorful confetti gently fell from above.

Zhou Chengchen smiled brightly and eagerly went to rummage through her backpack. She had meticulously prepared a gift for Xi Siyan, and now she could finally give it to him.

After searching for a long time, Zhou Chengchen couldn’t find it. She emptied everything from her backpack, and still nothing. Her face, originally beaming, suddenly fell; she didn’t bring it?

Zhou Chengchen recalled carefully, she remembered placing it in her backpack.

Thinking back, she remembered last night she took the gift out to rewrap it, and then...then probably left it on the nightstand, seemingly really forgotten.

Zhou Chengchen felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head.

Her hand froze in place, and after a while, she turned around with a face full of grievance, "The gift, I think I forgot to bring it."

Xi Siyan sighed; without a gift, shouldn’t he be the one feeling aggrieved? What’s with her looking so wronged?

"Come here."

Xi Siyan called Zhou Chengchen over. Zhou Chengchen slowly walked over, just sitting down beside Xi Siyan, when suddenly, everything went black, with Xi Siyan’s face suddenly leaning in.

The next second, something soft touched her lips, and Zhou Chengchen’s mind exploded with a "boom."

An unprecedented blankness in her head, as if the world had been cleansed by an atomic bomb, with nothing good remaining.

Kissing? First kiss? Embarrassment? None of that was there, only emptiness.

And Xi Siyan? He wasn’t much better. He had something to tell her today, but kissing her had been a sudden impulse. But at least he was somewhat prepared; although startled, he regained his composure faster than Zhou Chengchen.

Soon, Xi Siyan pulled back, ready to say something, but the person beside him seemed startled, quickly jumped up, opened the door to the room, and dashed out.
