The night breeze was gentle, it was April.
The riverside in Huhai was very comfortable, this quiet beach, now lit by a warm candlelight.
Yao Mingyue had changed into a white dress, having rarely worn dresses in recent years, her usual attire always giving off a mature look that reassured the adults.
Yet she was, after all, still just an eighteen-year-old girl, her long dress swaying, the white hem fluttering slightly under the night sky, adding a touch of gentle beauty.
The candlelight illuminated her stunning cheeks, the girl smiling as she held a not too big cake with just one candle on it, humming the birthday song softly as she stepped closer to Xu Musen.
Xu Musen sat on the beach, watching Yao Mingyue approach, her in the long dress reminiscent of the lively and bright girl she used to be.
"Xu Musen, happy birthday."
Yao Mingyue holding the cake, came up to Xu Musen and sat down beside him.
"My birthday was over several days ago," Xu Musen looked at her.
