Chapter 1244: 18th Birthday

Bai Beibei lay on his shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.

Her breathing was trembling, and her cold blood quickly heated up. She did not know whether it was because the man’s warm body temperature warmed her, or because she was so ashamed that her entire body was burning up.

The current position of the two of them was indescribably ambiguous.

“I… am done,” she said softly in a short while.

Hearing her soft voice, Gong Yi’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. She was indeed done, she was warm, and he was hot now. Their body temperature rose drastically as both of them were tightly hugging each other under the black coat.

Before he was about to lose control, he carried her down, opened the car door, and returned to the driver’s seat.

“Let’s go back now.”

“Okay,” Bai Beibei replied.

The Lamborghini drove out.

Gong Yi glanced at the girl behind him through the rearview mirror. She leaned against the car window and looked outside. Her pale face had a hint of pink steam, but at this moment, she was quiet and soft.

Suddenly, she moved, as if she saw something interesting outside the window.

He followed her gaze and saw a cake shop outside.

There were many cakes in the glass window, and they looked very tempting.

Did she want to eat cake?

…

In the apartment.

Both of them returned to their own rooms. They both needed to take a hot shower and change into clean clothes.

Bai Beibei went out of the room first, but Gong Yi hadn’t come out yet.

There was a “ding ling” sound and someone was knocking on the door.

“He’s here.” She quickly ran down and opened the door.

The door opened, and a delivery man was standing outside. “Hello, the cake you ordered has arrived.”

The cake.

Bai Beibei was stunned. “I didn’t order it.”

“I ordered it.”

Bai Beibei turned around. Gong Yi was standing upstairs. He had changed into a blue shirt, and his face was warm and handsome after taking a shower.

He looked down at her, his eyes gentle. “I saw you looking at that cake shop for a long time. Don’t you want to eat it?”

He noticed that.

Bai Beibei signed for the man and took the cake. She closed the door, looked at him, and was about to speak.

Gong Yi put his hands in his pockets. “Do you want to thank me, or do you want to pay me back in the future?”

She always said these two sentences.

“Neither.” Bai Beibei shook her head gently. She looked at the cake in her hand. “Today is my 18th birthday.”

Gong Yi froze.

Bai Beibei placed the cake on the coffee table in the living room. She did not sit on the sofa. She sat cross-legged on the soft wool carpet and opened the cake box. Her eyes were bright as she looked at the colourful princess cake.

She stretched out her slender little finger and picked out a side of cream and put it in her mouth. MMM, it was delicious.

Gong Yi walked beside her and looked down at her eating the cake with her head lowered. She was like a little girl who had never eaten a cake before. She cherished every bit of cream she ate.

18 years old birthday…

This was a very important birthday for a girl in her life. How did other girls spend their days? Being surrounded by their parents, having a party, or going on a trip. No matter which method they used, they would not be as extravagant as this girl who ate a cake.

Gong Yi squatted on one knee and clapped his two big palms together to create a lively tune. He sang softly, “Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Bai Beibei, I wish you a happy birthday.”

It was a standard English accent, in a warm and casual tune. This was the best happy birthday song that Bai Beibei had ever heard in her life.

She looked back and smiled brightly. “Young Master Gong, thank you.”

Gong Yi did not say anything.

Bai Beibei used her slender white fingers to pick up a little more cream. This time, she brought it to his lips. “Do you want to eat it?”

Gong Yi opened his mouth and ate the cream on her fingers.

Looking at his smooth and perfect facial lines, and her fingers accidentally touching his tongue, Bai Beibei felt a little sweetness in her heart.

“This is my second birthday cake.”

“HM?”

Gong Yi looked up. The girl’s eyes were dark and bright, full of colours.

She hugged her knees and said, “When I was 16, on my birthday, my mother suddenly came back. She came back from the mental hospital. That day, she didn’t go crazy. She bought me a birthday cake and gave me a birthday present. It was this small bracelet on my hand.”

Bai Beibei reached out and gently touched the little red bracelet on her wrist, “That day, I was really happy. I’ve never been so happy. My mother was so good to me, so gentle. She and my Grandma celebrated my birthday and even sang for me. She hugged me in her arms and touched my head. She told me, Beibei, I’m sorry.”

“I didn’t want her to say sorry. I just wanted my mother to be by my side. That day, my mother’s embrace smelled so good. I didn’t want to be separated from her… but, she still returned to the mental hospital. The next morning, I heard… I heard that she… died…”

“I went to the mental hospital to see her. The director didn’t let me in. The director said that my mother’s body had been burned according to the rules. I. . . didn’t even see my mother’s last face.”

“I never believed that my mother died. That day, she was fine. After she died, I became an orphan…”

Bai Beibei buried her little face in her knees. In that instant, tears streamed down her face.

Gong Yi’s eyes were filled with his heartache. No wonder she was willing to give up her life just to find this red bracelet because this was something her mother had given her.

The only thing.

All those years, her mother had scolded her and beaten her, but these did not matter to her. Even if her mother was a mentally ill person, she was still her mother.

She wasn’t an orphan with her mother around.

Gong Yi slowly reached out his big palm and held her soft hair. “Beibei, if you want to cry, just cry. It’ll make you feel better.”

Bai Beibei moved. She pressed her little head against his chest and burst into tears.

Gong Yi stretched out his long arms and hugged her tightly, pulling her into his embrace.

…

The next day at noon.

Bai Beibei slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were swollen and dry. It was because she had been crying for the whole night.

She looked out of the window and quickly jumped up from the bed. The sun was shining brightly outside. What time was it?

10:30!

Oh My God, why did she sleep for so long? She was about to turn into a little pig.

Bai Beibei quickly got up, washed up, and then opened the door. The apartment was empty, and Gong Yi was not there.

There was a cake on the coffee table in the living room that only touched by two little fingers…

All of Bai Beibei’s memories came back. Last night, he had accompanied her on her birthday and even made her cry in his arms. Then, and now.

Last night, she cried herself to sleep. Was he the one who carried her into the room?

Bai Beibei’s heartbeat instantly became chaotic.

Her mind was filled with Gong Yi’s handsome face. When she was homeless, he had taken her in; when Qian Lan made things difficult for her in the hospital, he had helped her out; when he followed her back to the village, he jumped into the water to save her, and now, he had accompanied her on her birthday…
