Chapter 11o: Today’s Your Birthday

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the quiet living room. All the lights were turned on, illuminating the furnishings in the room and the slender figure standing on the stairs.

Qi Shenbai looked up and was instantly stunned.

Xu Jiaojiao was wearing a slim-fitting short dress. She looked slightly more mature than usual, and her long black hair draped over her shoulders made her look even more elegant.

Qi Shenbai had never seen her dressed like this before, and his gaze on her gradually deepened.

The villa’s air-conditioning was on all year round, so it was warm now even in the middle of the night. Xu Jiaojiao did not feel cold when her calves and arms were exposed, but under his open and direct gaze, she inexplicably shivered. Her body subconsciously trembled slightly.

What should she do? It was so embarrassing!

Xu Jiaojiao was about to turn green with regret. Why did she have to listen to the advice of a single pringle like Su Luo?! However, what was done was done. She could only brace herself and continue.

When the music started playing according to the cue, she could only grit her teeth, stomp her feet, and slowly speak along with the music.

“Happy birthday to you!

“On this wonderful day,

“Let us dance and play.

“To my love and my light,

“On this candlelit night,

“May all your wishes come true,

“Happy birthday to you!”

Qi Shenbai’s eyes gradually lit up, and the surprise in his eyes slowly turned into joy as she sang softly. In the end, he could not help but lower his head and laugh.

He was clearly overjoyed. His handsome features were brighter than the Christmas lights, revealing unconcealable delight.

Xu Jiaojiao could not bring herself to look at his reaction. All she could do was force herself to finish that shameful song. At most, she would move back home tomorrow to save herself the embarrassment.

“Say goodbye to your troubles.”

“Say hello to your joys,

“Happy birthday forever, my darling boy…”

This song had gone viral some time ago because it was the song a certain hotpot chain sang for birthday guests. At that time, Su Luo took interest in it and hummed it in Xu Jiaojiao’s ear every day.

Su Luo had also bought the clothes for her. She wanted Xu Jiaojiao to change her style so that she would stop dressing like an elementary school student every day. However, Xu Jiaojiao had always been too embarrassed to wear them, so this dress was her trump card.

If it were not Qi Shenbai’s birthday today, if she had more time to buy a gift, she would not have sung this song in this little dress even if she was beaten to death.

She felt like a college student working part-time at Haidilao on a weekend.

On the surface, she acted passionate and polite, but she really wanted to die inside.

Qi Shenbai looked up and saw her singing and dancing. Her long black hair swept across her face as if brushing past his heart repeatedly, making his heart flutter.

The dance was not difficult, but after singing and dancing for a while, Xu Jiaojiao’s fair forehead was still covered in beads of sweat, and she was panting slightly.

“Qi Shenbai, happy birthday to you.” Her clear eyes seemed to be filled with starlight as she wished him sincerely and purely.

Qi Shenbai stood upright and stared at her with a burning gaze. His heart beat uncontrollably, racing faster and faster. It was so fast that it threatened to break through his chest and devour her beauty.

He had already forgotten how many years it had been since he last celebrated his birthday, and he never wanted to celebrate it either. Every year at this time, he would even feel very frustrated, wanting nothing more than to erase this day from his memory. However, today…

Today, Xu Jiao jiao made him feel like birthdays were not that bad after all.

Xu Jiaojiao was still panting slightly, but her eyes were secretly observing him. He man had a smile at the corners of his eyes, which meant that he liked her little surprise, right?

She gave him a bright smile.

Qi Shenbai’s thin lips curled up as he looked at her with a deep gaze.

Neither of them took the initiative to break the silence. The room was so quiet that only their breathing could be heard, and the atmosphere gradually became rose-colored.

In the end, Qi Shenbai was the first to take a step forward. He walked towards her firmly step by step, as if he was marching toward his destiny.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at the tall figure gradually approaching her and inexplicably became nervous. Even her breathing became ragged.

She could not explain why.

Qi Shenbai stopped in front of her and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a familiar and annoying voice. “Qi Shenbai, don’t you think I’m such a great friend…?”

Xu Zhengyang had just stepped into the house when he saw Xu Jiaojiao standing on the stairs from the corner of his eye. His voice stopped abruptly.

Qi Shenbai frowned. He turned around and saw Xu Zhengyang and Lin Feng, who had followed him in. They were looking at Xu Jiao jiao from head to toe in confusion.

The moment Xu Jiaojiao saw Xu Zhengyang, she was completely petrified!

‘It’s over! It’s all over!’ she screamed inwardly.

‘It’s one thing for me to embarrass myself in front of Qi Shenbai, but why is Xu Zhengyang here too?!!’
