Huo Jincheng walked in and immediately noticed that the hall had been decorated today.
Using ocean blue themes.
In the middle of the hall were two large dolphin lights, along with seaweed and sharks, as if one had entered an ocean world.
From the ceiling’s crystal lights, hung a small ’Happy Birthday’ light.
He was a man, and the things Lu Xingzhi intentionally bought during this time were all for decorating this day for him.
Before seeing Lu Xingzhi, Huo Jincheng first heard a piano melody.
The music was filled with love, seemingly representing the romance of a girl.
Starting with shyness and confusion, then moving to sweetness and joy...
The sweet part had a very quick tempo, then slowed down and carried a hint of poignancy before speeding up again...making one feel delight.
One just wanted to close their eyes and listen.
But Huo Jincheng was staring at the girl playing the piano; she was wearing a blue mermaid tail dress as if she would blend into the hall, adorned with blue crystal accessories on her head, and blue earrings.
Under the shining lights, it was like a dream.
A breathtaking beauty.
Like a mermaid, ready to swim away at any moment.
While playing, she glanced over at Huo Jincheng and gave a sweet smile, her delicate fingers dancing across the piano keys.
Once the piece was finished, she did not stand up immediately.
Instead, she switched to another one.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
After singing, Lu Xingzhi sang it again in English.
After finishing the birthday song, Lu Xingzhi stood up and walked towards Huo Jincheng.
She walked in high heels, slowly, lightly, yet each step left a strong impression on Huo Jincheng’s heart.
Filling his heart completely. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net
How could he not love her?
"My dear fiancée, happy birthday!" Lu Xingzhi spoke softly.
"You little rascal." Huo Jincheng had no words to describe his feelings; he felt joy, happiness, none of which could truly express it.
He just wanted to embrace her.
And indeed, that’s exactly what he did.
"How could I not know today was your birthday! I’ve known for a long time." Lu Xingzhi said teasingly while in his embrace.
"So you were deliberately laughing at me yesterday, weren’t you?" Huo Jincheng tapped her nose, "You really are a little rascal."
"I wanted to surprise you! Are you happy?" Lu Xingzhi looked up, playfully gazing at him.
"I’m very happy, very, very happy. Thank you!" Huo Jincheng said.
He didn’t need Lu Xingzhi to give him any gifts; just her knowing was enough.
"The piano song just now was a special gift for you, ’Deep Love Does Not Disappoint Meeting.’ Lu Xingzhi, inspired on that day, revised it repeatedly until it was complete today.
"Thank you!" It was the first time in so many years that Huo Jincheng felt touched.
He was also very grateful that the person he loved loved him back.
He knew after realizing his feelings, how scared he was that Lu Xingzhi might not like him or would want to leave.
"No need to be so polite, I am your fiancée, it’s only right." Lu Xingzhi emerged from his embrace, "Just one piano song and you’re satisfied? Can you skip meals now and feast on sweetness and happiness, already full? Mental nourishment is still no match for real food."
"Sweetness and happiness are never enough to fulfill one’s appetite." Huo Jincheng stared at her intensely, unmoving.
