"Qiaoqiao, happy birthday,"
Qiao Suisui's nose turned red, and she used the motion of closing her eyes to make a wish to mask the struggle in her eyes.
Zong Fang watched her quietly, a smile accumulating in his eyes as he asked softly, "What wish did you make?"
With her eyes downturned, Qiao Suisui's eyelashes trembled slightly when she heard his question, and she said, "I want a life that I can control myself." After speaking, she didn't look at Zong Fang's smile, which had frozen on his lips; she suddenly blew out the candle, extinguishing the light in her heart as well.
All the lights in the hall had been turned off to create an atmosphere, and with the candle extinguished, they stood in the dim darkness.
Remembering the message Ah Jin had sent her, Qiao Suisui's gaze darkened, and she didn't take the cake he was holding out; instead, she looked up at him calmly and said, "Zong Fang, I've thought it over these past few days, and we're not suitable for each other."
