In his heart, there was not only pain but also infinite sorrow. He knew that over the past three years he had caused her so much grievance, yet he hadn’t realized that the grievance he had brought upon her far exceeded his expectations.
Suddenly, Shi Che raised his hand and harshly slapped himself, hitting once but still not feeling relieved, he continued and slapped himself a second time.
From now on, he would never let Chuxia spend her birthday alone again. No matter what!
But as for him now, if he were to appear before Chuxia, perhaps she might prefer to spend her birthday alone?
Then, should he just accompany her on her birthday as Mr. S?
However, Chuxia was not blind. As soon as she saw him, she would certainly recognize him, unless... she couldn’t see him?
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed across Shi Che’s dark pupils; an idea gradually floated to his mind. After thoroughly thinking it over, although the method was somewhat risky, at this moment, he had no choice but to take a chance.
Shi Che picked up his phone and quickly replied to Ling Chuxia: "I’m back, but for some reasons, I can’t meet with you just yet. However, I can still accompany you on your birthday."
After Ling Chuxia sent that message, she had already resigned herself to the fact that she might have to spend her birthday alone this year, yet unexpectedly Mr. S had agreed to accompany her.
He wanted to accompany her, yet they cannot meet? What did that mean?
Ling Chuxia immediately sent a perplexed emoji.
Shi Che thought for a moment, his fingers swiftly typing a message: "To be honest, I’ve recently had a minor car accident and injured my face. It’s not fully healed, so I don’t want to frighten you."
The more lies he told, the easier it was for Shi Che to do so without his face turning red or his heart skipping a beat.
She had been chatting with Mr. S for nearly a month, yet she had never heard him mention it, which made her somewhat worried: "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine, just a minor injury to the face, so I can’t meet you for now. I don’t want to ruin your first impression."
Ling Chuxia initially wanted to say that she wouldn’t mind, but her fingers hesitated and she eventually didn’t send the message. Since Mr. S didn’t wish to meet, she felt it unnecessary to press him.
But if he didn’t want to meet, how could he accompany her through her birthday?
Just as she was thinking, another message from Mr. S came: "Today is your birthday, Chuxia, let me treat you to a movie."
Ling Chuxia instantly understood his plan—inside the dimly lit cinema, he could accompany her without letting her see his face, serving two purposes at once. Read full story at n0velfire.net
Mr. S was still so considerate even with his injuries, Ling Chuxia’s heart softened slightly, she felt as if she had stepped into a warm spring, her whole body warmed, and a smile played on her lips as she replied: "Okay."
The entire movie theater was reserved, and when Ling Chuxia entered, it was already pitch-black and serene, as if there was no one else there. She groped around, found a seat and sat down, then took out her phone to type a message.
Chuxia: "Mr. S, have you arrived?"
Her phone beeped, and Ling Chuxia looked back, Mr. S’s brief reply: "I am here."
Ling Chuxia unconsciously twisted her head back, but then another message arrived: "Don’t look back."
Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but stick out her tongue. To say she wasn’t at all curious about Mr. S would be a lie, but since he couldn’t let her see his injured face, she had to suppress her curiosity.
