He wanted to be with her forever and ever, to tell her how important she was to him.

Xu Jiaojiao was confused.

Qi Shenbai did not explain further. He gently tucked Xu Jiaojiao’s hair behind her ear.

“Be with me, Jiaojiao.”

Xu Jiaojiao looked at him. Their burning gazes intertwined in the air, inches away from each other. Just looking at those gentle eyes was enough to make her sink into his love. The moment she fell into this sweet trap, she instantly lost all resistance.

She could only whisper one word. “Okay.”

The corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up. He bent down to kiss her again.

However, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly raised her hand to block his lips. “No.”

Qi Shenbai frowned slightly. Before he could ask why, Xu Jiaojiao quickly explained, “It’s almost midnight. If you don’t eat the longevity noodles now, it’ll be too late.”

In order to fit the mood, Xu Jiaojiao deliberately did not turn on the lights. She even took out a candle that she had prepared beforehand and lit it. It was the only source of light in the living room.

After that, Xu Jiaojiao took out a bowl of longevity noodles from the kitchen. It was a bowl of clear soup noodles. There was some oil on the surface and a handful of green onions sprinkled on top.

These days, everyone thought that it could only be considered a birthday party if they ate cake and blew out candles.

However, Qi Shenbai preferred longevity noodles over those cartoonish cream cakes.

After all, the noodles warmed his stomach and heart.

Most importantly, she was here with him.

Xu Jiaojiao sat beside him with her chin resting on her hands. Her eyes were bright as she looked at him quietly.

Qi Shenbai looked at her. “Why are you looking at me?”

Xu Jiaojiao replied softly, “What’s wrong with me looking at my boyfriend? I mean, he’s so good-looking.”

Qi Shenbai was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “Silly little lover girl.”

“Just so you know, 1 like you for more than just your looks!”

“What else do you like me for?”

Xu Jiaojiao seemed to be stumped by his question. After thinking for a while, she finally shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I like you, and that’s all there is to it. I like being with you. I like spending every day with you.”

Her words were straightforward, but Qi Shenbai was very moved.

Her affection was so simple and straightforward.

She did not need a reason to like someone.

She just did.

He was so lucky to have such a girl like her.

Xu Jiaojiao looked up at the clock on the wall. It was almost time!

She quickly sat up straight and said seriously, “Qi Shenbai, happy birthday.”
