Gu Qing looked at him with misty eyes. "You know my teardrops are especially low!" "Your sudden appearance really moved me …"
Gu Xi let out a young laugh and pinched her cheek. "Don't cry anymore. Hurry up and make a wish to blow the candle."
The surrounding singing gradually died down. Everyone in the Internet Cafe stared at the pair.
This was the first time she had celebrated her birthday in front of so many people. Furthermore, they were all strangers.
Even though he had already become a mother, he still harbored the heart of a child.
Gu Qian's long eyelashes quietly fell down, forming a shadow on her face.
After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and blew gently, extinguishing the candle on the cake.
At the same time, the Internet Cafe happened to have electricity at this time and the entire world became bright again.
The scene in front of him was filled with goodwill. Before the lights went off in the Internet Cafe, everyone had smiled and shouted "Happy Birthday" to Gu Qian. As for Gu Xi Nian, he looked even more gentle than before.
Under the arrangements of Gu Xi Nian, the employees of the Internet Cafe had already distributed the reserve cake. Everyone thanked Gu Xi Nian for his help and didn't expect to be able to have a sweet and smooth midnight snack in the Internet Cafe.
And the chocolate cake in front of him only belonged to Gu Qian.
Everything in the cake.
"Cut the cake." She took the knife from him. With her other hand, she was about to take the little angel from the cake and put it away when she noticed something wrapped around her neck.
Gu Qian stretched out his hand and picked up the little angel. It was a pearl necklace, and it had been circled several times.
Gu Qian widened his eyes in astonishment. He looked at the necklace on the little angel's neck, then raised his head to look at Xi Nian. "This necklace …"
She didn't see it clearly at first. She thought the necklace was just an ornament made by an angel. But now, she held it in her hand and looked at it clearly.
"It's a birthday present for you, Gu Qian."
Gu Qian naturally knew it was for her, but this present was too valuable. Even an amateur like Gu Qian could tell that the dazzling pearl necklace was expensive.
In the middle was a round, glossy, malachite green pearl, as beautiful and rich as the feathers of a peacock, and on both sides of the pearl were a few extremely delicate white pearls, glowing with a neon sheen. These pearls were cleverly designed to fit into a single piece, and were surrounded by a ring of small, bright diamonds.
What was even more astonishing was that on both sides of the small diamond, there were butterfly wings, just like butterflies holding a few round and beautiful pearls.
"Butterfly love flower …" When Gu Qian saw the design of the pearl necklace, these words popped up in his mind.
Gu Qian was dumbfounded by what he saw.
Cushion helped her remove the pearl necklace that had been wrapped around the cherub, and in a flash he had already brought it on for her.
"Shallow, do you like it?" Gu Xi Nian's voice seemed to come from far away, as if he was in a dream. If it wasn't for his warm breath still lingering around his neck, Gu Qian would have thought he was dreaming.
Gu Qian's voice was like a mosquito's buzz as he said, "I like, I like it." Who didn't like such a delicate and beautiful necklace?
Furthermore, Gu Xi Nian had obviously used his heart to present the gift to him on her birthday.
No wonder he would rather take a detour to this Internet Cafe. He had already planned this a long time ago. Gu Qian had only walked step by step into the trap he had designed, a sweet and gentle trap.
"It's good that you like it."
The game on the computer had long since been reconnected. The system indicated that Gu Xi Nian and Gu Qian's account had been reported by their teammates and even punished by the system due to them logging off for a long period of time.
But who of them cared?
In the real world, the people who loved each other and were touched by the tears in their eyes were far more important than the equipment and wins or losses in the game.
Beautiful times always passed by extremely quickly. Although A Yuan and Huan Long guaranteed their mother's complete freedom before they left in the morning, it was already quite late. It was time for them to return home.
Gu Xi Nian drove Gu Qishao home with her. Ever since they had become neighbors upstairs, it had become much more convenient. She no longer needed to drive Gu Xi Nian back across half of the city to save time and effort.
Gu Xi Nian parked the car and unbuckled his safety belt. Just as he was about to get off, his hand pressed down on him, stopping him from getting off.
Gu Qian looked at him, puzzled. He didn't know what Gu Xi Nian was up to.
"Wait a minute, I have something to give you." Gu Xi Nian opened the lights and the drawer inside the car. He took out a certificate and a few pieces of paper and gave them to Gu Qian.
"What is this?" Gu Qian was baffled. Why would he give her an estate certificate?
"It's the certificate for the house you're living in."
What? Wasn't her house rented? Did Cushion buy her house? Otherwise, where would he get a real estate certificate?
Speaking of which, the landlord hadn't contacted her for a while. According to the past, whenever she had to pay the rent, the landlord would remind her beforehand.
Although Gu Qian always paid the rent on time, the landlord was a typical middle-aged citizen.
"You, you, you …" With a clear understanding of Gu Xi Nian's actions in his mind, Gu Qian was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Gu Xi Nian, on the other hand, was exceptionally calm. He laughed at Gu Qian's reaction, pretending not to understand as he asked her: "I-I-I what?"
"Why are you showing this to me?" Gu Qian felt that the real estate certificate in her hand was like a hot potato, and it weighed a thousand pounds like steel bars. Even though she knew Gu Xi Nian's intentions, she still had to get to the bottom of this.
"This is your second birthday present."
"Why do I need so many birthday presents? If it's just a small object, then whatever. If you just gave me a house, I wouldn't dare to take it … " A pearl necklace was already valuable enough, and his intentions were enough to move her. She didn't need anything else.
"Qian Qian, have we been separated for five years?" Gu Xi Nian suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the current situation.
After a second of astonishment, Gu Qian nodded and softly said, "Mmm."
"It has been five birthdays since I last went with you, right?" Gu Xi Nian's eyes were filled with emotions that Gu Qian couldn't see through, deeply complicated.
Gu Qing suddenly understood what Gu Xi Nian wanted to say next.
