The sky and the river are all for you

Chapter 35 His Wish
After Xu Man heard this, she blushed and shook her head, "He's not my boyfriend."

"Oh, that's your husband. Miss, are you going to choose a gift for the anniversary?"

Xu Man: "Huh???"

Her face was even redder now, so red that she was about to bleed.

In the end, she randomly picked out a men's wallet, and blushed, she ran away from the enthusiastic shopping guide.

After buying the presents, she ordered another cake at the cake shop at the gate of the community.

After doing all this, Xu Man returned home as normal.

Regarding the birthday, she didn't mention a word to Meng Xinghe, she planned to give him a surprise.

The next day was Saturday, and Meng Xinghe stayed in his room the whole time, using his computer to process various documents.

When he came from the room to the living room, he saw that the outside had been carefully arranged by the girl.

There are delicious meals on the dining table, and there is a big cake in the middle.

He just remembered that today is his birthday, and he hasn't celebrated his birthday for many years.

While Meng Xinghe was in a daze, Xu Man had already handed over the gift in his hand.

"Happy birthday, this is a gift from me, I hope you like it."

"Thank you."

Meng Xinghe looked at her with indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

"Come here and make a wish first, and then blow out the candles." Xu Man pulled him to the dining table.

In the late autumn evening, the sky has already darkened.

All the lights in the room were turned off, only a few candles flickering faintly on the cake.

He turned his head slightly, and saw the girl standing beside him, tightly next to him.

The dots of candlelight reflected on her pretty face, and those apricot eyes seemed to be sparkling with stars.

He has only one wish, he wants her.

Under the urging of the girl, Meng Xinghe gently closed his eyes, and silently repeated the thought just now in his heart.

The reason why Xu Man wanted to celebrate Meng Xinghe's birthday was because she felt that he was really pitiful.

Her thoughts drifted to the summer many years ago, when she had a fight with her mother Gu Meihua on the phone that day.

Gu Meihua was worried that she was sketching in the ancient town alone, and wanted her to go home as soon as possible, but she didn't want to leave this picturesque place that could bring her a lot of inspiration for painting.

The two had a very unpleasant fight on the phone, and when she finally hung up the phone, she sat by the window and cried for a long time.

Meng Xinghe stood by her side all the time at a loss, as if he wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to speak.

After a while, he said awkwardly: "Actually, I envy you very much. I envy you that you can still quarrel with your mother, and I don't know if I can hear her say a word in the future."

After hearing this, Xu Man finally stopped crying and looked at him with concern.

"What happened to your mother? Is it serious?"

Meng Xinghe lowered his eyes slightly, and calmly told her what happened in his family.

At that time, he was very calm, as if all this did not happen to him.

That was the first time Xu Man knew why the boy had been unhappy.

His mother became a vegetable and could only rely on various machines in the hospital to support her life.

And his father didn't seem to care about him, otherwise he wouldn't have come to look for him after he ran away from home for so many days.

What Xu Man didn't know was that at that time, Meng Xinghe felt that he was also a superfluous person in this world.

If the girl hadn't stretched out a hand to him that evening, he might have ended his life and fell into the darkness from which he couldn't wake up forever.
