There was only one room left in this homestay. I heard that it was a couple, and the landlord welcomed them warmly.

The room was a bit crude, and Sheng Mingxi felt that he had nowhere to go. He had never lived in such a poor room.

Seeing his disgust, Lu Qingqing borrowed another set of clean sheets from the landlord to change into.

During the whole process, Lu Qingqing was busy alone, and Sheng Mingxi watched from the side. It wasn't that he didn't help, but that he had never done these things before.

Lu Qingqing didn't complain either, she was probably used to taking care of others, no matter her younger brother Lu Haizhou or Lin Shuo, under her meticulous care, became "unable to take care of themselves".

After tidying up the room, the landlord sent two packs of instant noodles and pickled mustard.

Sheng Mingxi looked at this junk food, and instantly lost his appetite.

He collapsed on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and suddenly received a birthday greeting from the United States in his mailbox.

His hands trembled.

He opened the mailbox and saw a familiar name, Feng Xinwen.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Sheng Mingxi in a daze, Lu Qingqing walked over with the soaked noodles. .

Sheng Mingxi immediately closed the mailbox.

Said: "My friend sent me birthday wishes."

"Your birthday is today?" Lu Qingqing was surprised.

She looked at the instant noodles in her hand again, and felt that she was really sorry for Sheng Mingxi for eating this for her birthday.

Suddenly she thought of something, put down the bowl and left the room.

When the rainstorm came, the sea wind whistled outside the window, the lightning flashed and the thunder roared, and the raindrops crackled on the glass, which made people tremble with fear.

At this time, a flash of thunder flashed across, and the power grid of the small fishing village was struck by lightning, and it was instantly plunged into darkness.

Sheng Mingxi, who was already asleep, sat up from the sofa in a jerk.

"Lu Qingqing, where are you?"

After shouting for a long time, no one answered, Sheng Mingxi got up and went to look for him.

At this time, the door opened.

Lu Qingqing walked in with a handmade cake.

A dozen candles were stuck on the cake. Under the candlelight, Lu Qingqing's face was shrouded in a warm halo, and she walked towards Sheng Mingxi like an angel.

Lu Qingqing hummed the birthday song softly.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Sheng Mingxi stood there blankly.

He has not celebrated his birthday for 20 years. Except for a few people close to him, no one knows his birthday, and he never mentions it to others.

"Lu Qingqing, thank you for your kindness, but since my parents passed away, I don't celebrate my birthday." Sheng Mingxi said coldly, suppressing his inner emotions.

Lu Qingqing stopped in her tracks.

She looked at the pained look on Sheng Mingxi's face, she felt the same.

"Sheng Mingxi, I know the pain of losing your parents, but today is your birthday, your parents must be looking at you in heaven, they hope you are safe and happy, they don't want to see you in such pain, so for them, you have to treat yourself."

"You won't understand my pain."

"No, I have experienced your pain. When I learned that I was a child picked up by my grandmother at the seaside, when I knew that my parents abandoned me, my pain was no less than yours.

Although my parents are still alive, I haven't enjoyed the love of my parents for a day. I didn't have it before, and I won't have it in the future. So, at least you are luckier than me. "

Sheng Mingxi was slightly moved.

"You didn't want to go and find them?"

Lu Qingqing shook her head.

"The vast sea of ​​people, where can I find it? If I find my lost love, can I come back?"

"And do you hate them?"

"I don't hate. I believe that there are no parents in this world who don't love their children. They must have their own difficulties, so what I can do is to live well and live up to them who brought me into this world."

Lu Qingqing put the cake on the table.

"I don't know my birthday, so I never celebrate it. How about letting us have a birthday together today?"

"This is a cake I made myself, come and try it?"

Sheng Mingxi came over and saw the birthday cake, which didn't look good but looked very attentive, a crack crossed his frozen heart for a long time.

"Let's make a wish together." Lu Qingqing closed her eyes and began to make a wish.

At this moment, the room was surprisingly quiet, as if there were only the two of them in the whole world.

Looking at Lu Qingqing's delicate face under the candlelight, Sheng Mingxi also slowly closed his eyes.

Lu Qingqing made three wishes.

When she opened her eyes, she found that Sheng Mingxi was staring at her blankly.

"Have you made a wish?"

Sheng Mingxi nodded.

"Then shall we exchange wishes? I'll send you my wish on my mobile phone, and yours to me."

After finishing speaking, Lu Qingqing sent her three wishes.

But Sheng Mingxi did not move for a long time.

"Why don't you send it?"

"My wish can't be fulfilled." Sheng Mingxi's only wish now is to hope that his grandfather can live a long time.

"Sometimes wishes aren't made to come true."

Sheng Mingxi raised his head in surprise, facing Lu Qingqing's eyes that were as bright as night pearls.

"Wish is to give people the courage to live, to make people brave, strong, and not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles."

"Even if we can't achieve it in the end, we will not regret it, because we have worked hard. People are actually very small, and there are very few things we can decide, so don't embarrass yourself in many cases, just do your best."

Sheng Mingxi never thought that a young girl who had just stepped into society would know so many principles.

He now understands why Grandpa chose Lu Qingqing out of so many applicants at a glance.

Maybe Lu Qingqing is not the best, but her experience is the most suitable person for Sheng Mingxi.

Lu Qingqing handed the knife to Sheng Mingxi and asked him to cut the cake.

Sheng Mingxi came over, hugged Lu Qingqing from behind and held her hand at the same time. "We cut together."

Lu Qingqing's heart beat faster this time.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, as if Sheng Mingxi was the same as him, with rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath.

Moreover, the hands holding the knife together trembled slightly, and they didn't even cut out a complete cake.

Lu Qingqing didn't know whose hands were shaking. She tried her best to focus on the cake, but the heartbeat of the man behind her made her feel distracted.

The whole process of cutting the cake was very fast, but Lu Qingqing felt that it was very long, so long that her palms were sweating.

It was the first time Lu Qingqing ate a birthday cake, and she made it herself.

This is all due to the fact that she has to see how the cake master makes cakes every time she passes by the cake shop. It just so happens that the daughter of the owner of this homestay sells cakes made on the spot on Douyin, with all the materials and tools available.

The cake is delicious.

Sheng Mingxi didn't like sweets, so he only ate two small pieces.But he ate up the instant noodles transformed by Lu Qingqing as birthday noodles.

The storm is getting fiercer and fiercer.
