It wasn’t that she was nervous, it was just some strange, indescribable feeling.
Step by step she came to truly grasp that solid and grounded feeling, the sense of genuinely being alive. Qiao Xiaren couldn’t sleep, standing alone by the window to gaze at the stars above.
Suddenly, there was a thud from behind.
“What are you doing?”
Under the dim light, his handsome features seemed more profound. His lips, beautiful as a wall standing before her. From any angle, this man was stunning.
“Can you stop with these sudden surprises?” Qiao Xiaren’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“How did you get in here?”
Si Limo’s expression was clear and his voice gentle. “Sang Xiao let me in when I said I wanted to see you.”
Sang Xiao actually let him in? That was unprofessional!
“Have you forgotten what tomorrow is?” Si Limo pulled a beautifully wrapped box out of his pocket.
“What is this?” Qiao Xiaren didn’t take it, her eyes full of confusion. “What day is tomorrow?”
“Fool, have you forgotten? Tomorrow is your birthday.” He gazed intently at her serious face. Her beauty was always breathtaking, but at first glance, he didn’t feel much. He used to think all women looked alike, but he didn’t know when it started, she became increasingly beautiful in his eyes.
Her small face smaller than his palm, those dark eyes shimmering with a hint of melancholy, devoid of any emotion or warmth. He used to wonder why her heart was so cold and distant, why was it so difficult to get close to?
This time, Qiao Xiaren was genuinely surprised. Even she barely remembered; she used to never celebrate her birthday.
“Don’t you remember? When you enrolled in training, they recorded your profile and data as a backup. Your birthday is on the 16th of October, so I’m giving you your present in advance.”
