Zhou Chengchen’s actions startled Xi Siyan, leaving her no time to react before she had already disappeared.

In the room, textbooks lay scattered all over, and the cake with candles remained untouched.

Xi Siyan stood there, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Chengchen never returned after running out. Xi Siyan waited for her for a long time, but she never came back. Eventually, Xi Siyan had to pack Zhou Chengchen’s school bag and called her.

The call was hung up, and a text came back instead: "Please bring it to school for me tomorrow."

Xi Siyan frowned, wondering if Cheng Chen was angry?

As she thought about it, another message came: "Don’t call tonight, I’m shy."

Standing at the alley’s exit, looking at the message on her phone, Xi Siyan momentarily thought she was seeing things. Zhou Chengchen, shy?

Carrying Zhou Chengchen’s school bag and the cake, Xi Siyan slowly returned to her place.

He had something to say to her today, but with this interruption, Xi Siyan started to doubt if perhaps it’s better not to say anything.

Seeing her study hard for his sake, maybe such a motive isn’t seen as pure by others, but the outcome is the same, isn’t it?

She is trying to improve herself, and he wishes to strengthen his wings because of her.

What’s wrong with two people like that?

There’s no right or wrong in feelings, it just depends on when they happen.

But if such feelings can make both people willing to strive and work hard for each other, does it matter if it’s sooner or later?

So he wanted to tell her he wants to be officially together, with a status beyond schoolmates.

Dating?

What’s wrong with dating?

He will make himself better for his own sake, and for hers, and Xi Siyan believes Zhou Chengchen would do the same.

Like each other, but not waste time and life because of that, so does it matter if they’re dating or not?

No, it doesn’t matter.

This is what Xi Siyan wanted to say to her today, but now it seems there’s no need to say it.

Wanting to say it was a momentary impulse, but thinking about it now, since it doesn’t matter, whether to say it or not also doesn’t matter.

They are still themselves, unchanged by a change in title.

Besides, the status of a girlfriend was never the final title Xi Siyan wanted to give her.

"To give you my name" is what he truly wants.

Returning home, Xi Siyan showered and sat at the desk to continue working on problems, occasionally taking a bite of the small cake.

The two little figures on the cake had already been taken down by Xi Siyan, cleaned, and placed on the desk. The two wearing school uniforms looked just perfect.

This birthday was the best Xi Siyan ever had. Accompanied by the sweetness of the cake, he fell asleep and woke up particularly early the next day.

Getting to school early, he sent a message to Zhou Chengchen and then waited for her at a corner of the school gate. Zhou Chengchen also arrived early, rushing to Xi Siyan like a rocket, quickly grabbing her bag, and hurriedly said, "I’m going in."

Still giving Xi Siyan no time to react, she had already dashed through the school gate.

Xi Siyan stood in place, wondering if she was still shy?

Since he arrived early, he had brought breakfast for Zhou Chengchen. He had made it himself, but before he could give it to her, she had already disappeared.

"Tsk tsk, a love-filled breakfast?"
