Can you please stop hating

Jin Zhuoxiao bought a big cake, but it was of little use.

He didn't light candles or make any wishes. From beginning to end, he just cut a piece from the middle and gave it to Yu Xi, and the rest was divided among the others by the waiter.

Yu Xi thought it was the highlight, but it turned out to be just a formality, with a poor ending and a poor start, which surprised her.

In order to maintain her figure, Yu Xi rarely eats sweets on a daily basis, but tonight is an exception.

The dessert looked so good that Qiao Yining and I ate a few more bites to satisfy our cravings, forgetting that there was also a birthday cake coming up.

The piece that Jin Zhuoxiao cut for her was not small, and it would be a bit difficult for her to eat it all. However, it was her birthday after all, and it would be inappropriate not to eat, so she ended up eating some.

"Brother Xiao, do you want to take a look at the birthday present I prepared for you? You will never guess what it is."

"And mine was booked a month in advance."

“It took me a long time to choose mine.”

"..."

A group of girls surrounded Jin Zhuoxiao enthusiastically. On the surface, they were harmonious, but there was some tension between them, like rivals in love.

Fearing of being implicated, Yu Xi wisely stayed away.

Looking at them, Yu Xi sighed. She didn't know when they would be able to leave. She had to find a chance to give her gifts to them, otherwise she wouldn't be able to leave.

Just as she was worrying, Yu Xi's cell phone vibrated. It turned out to be a message from Jin Zhuoxiao.

FREE: [Go to the second floor balcony and wait for me. ]

Yu Xi saw that it was just right, so she put the cake down and went upstairs without eating it.

There was no one upstairs, and the balcony was even more empty, with only a hanging basket next to it.

Everyone was busy in the hall, and probably no one wanted to come here to get some fresh air. Jin Zhuoxiao also knew how to choose a place.

Yu Xi put her hands in her pockets, stood by the railing, looked up at the moon in the sky, and rubbed the edge of the gift box in a trance.

The night sky on a clear day is very clear, without even a cloud, and the moon appears particularly bright.

The hustle and bustle in the distance was clear yet blurry. There seemed to be a layer of film separating this place from the downstairs. They were in one world, while Yu Xi was hiding alone in another world, unable to feel sad or happy, just like before.

I don’t know when it started, but Yu Xi became a person who enjoyed solitude. When Yu Li was around, she was obviously very talkative.

At that time, Yu Li even complained that Yu Xi talked too much and said that he was annoyed by her chattering. But now Yu Xi has long lost the enthusiasm to actively socialize.

Whenever she recalled it occasionally, Yu Xi would be surprised. Was she so outgoing before? Why was she so unfamiliar with her former self?

But on second thought, it seemed inevitable that it would become like this. After all, the source of her happiness had left her long ago.

Rather than making new friends, Yu Xi would rather retreat into memories and stay with Yu Li forever.

Yu Xi really couldn't be happy in a world without Yu Li. If Yu Li were still alive, they would probably be very happy now.

A gust of wind blew by, making Yu Xi's eyes sore.

"Is it cold?"

Jin Zhuoxiao is here.

Yu Xi didn't look back, she took a deep breath secretly, calmed down and said, "It's not cold."

Jin Zhuoxiao walked up to her but didn't say anything. The two of them stood side by side in silence, so quiet that they could hear the sound of the wind.

"..."

After a few seconds, Yu Xi took the initiative to speak: "Why don't you light a candle and make a wish?"

Jin Zhuoxiao: "I don't have this habit, I don't have this wish."

"……Oh."

Yu Xi felt that it was normal for someone like Jin Zhuoxiao, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, to have no wishes. After all, he lacked nothing and could easily get whatever he wanted. There was no need to hope for anything through such a vague way as making a wish.

It's really enviable.

While I was lost in thought, I suddenly heard Jin Zhuoxiao say, "But it seems like there is one this year."

Yu Xi came back to her senses after hearing this, raised her eyes and glanced at him, and asked, "What?"

Yu Xi's skin is cold and pale, and under the light it looks like a soft edge. Her hair and knitted cardigan are particularly textured, and with her cool and pure face, she looks like a vivid painting of a beauty.

Jin Zhuoxiao looked down at her, his eyes showing an unclear emotion. After a long while, he said lazily, "Sing a song for me."

I don’t know if it’s because Jin Zhuoxiao was tired after partying all night, but at this moment he exuded an inexplicable relaxed temperament, none of his usual flamboyance and unrestrainedness, but instead surprisingly affectionate and gentle.

Yu Xi was a person who was more willing to give in to soft words than to hard ones, and considering that he was the birthday boy, she did not refuse: "What do you want to hear?"

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Anything is fine."

Yu Xi thought about it and started singing.

"Sunrise with you on my chest"

“No blinds in the place where I live”

This song was Jin Zhuoxiao's ringtone. Yu Xi knew he sang it because he liked it, but she forgot that it was a love song, and the more she sang, the more awkward it became.

"Be yours be..."

After singing a few lines, Yu Xi couldn't sing any more. The lyrics sounded as if she was secretly seducing Jin Zhuoxiao, which was shameful.

From the first sentence, Jin Zhuoxiao looked over. His eyes were as deep as the night, but his gaze was as gentle as the wind, which made Yu Xi dare not look directly at him.

The deep pupils overlapped with the darkness, faintly brewing unusual emotions.

"Why don't you sing anymore?" Jin Zhuoxiao asked in a low voice.

Yu Xi's eyes flickered, and she said casually, "I forgot about the rest."

"Really?" Jin Zhuoxiao chuckled and continued singing the rest of the song.

"So close with you on my lips"

“Touch noses feeling your breath”

His pronunciation was particularly comfortable, his voice was low and nonchalant, and paired with these words, it was very provocative.

Yu Xi now felt as embarrassed as when Jin Zhuoxiao was sitting next to her with no shirt on. She sang this unintentionally, but Jin Zhuoxiao was obviously seducing her, and the atmosphere was so ambiguous that it was almost like pink bubbles.

She really wanted to slap herself to death for what she had done just now. If she had known earlier, she should have just sung a Happy Birthday song. It was simple and classic. She was really bored. How should she end this?

“Be mine be mine yeah”

“Anytime anytime”

For the first time, Yu Xi hated herself for being so good at English that she understood all the lyrics.

Touching romance does not necessarily require a grand scene. At least for someone like Yu Xi, this makes her blush even more.

Yu Xi looked at the ground, her heart beating rapidly and she became more and more restless.

It is too quiet here. It is not suitable to be alone with a bewitching demon like Jin Zhuoxiao. He will be swallowed up whole bones.

Taking advantage of the free time, Yu Xi took out the gift she had prepared long ago and interrupted, saying, "Your ringtone is very nice. Happy birthday."

She must have hinted clearly, right? There was no other reason for singing this song. First, I thought his cell phone ringtone was nice, and second, I sang his favorite song because it was his birthday.

Jin Zhuoxiao lowered his eyes to look at the gift and asked, "Can I open it?"

Seeing that the topic was successfully changed, Yu Xi quickly said, "Of course."

Jin Zhuoxiao opened the gift box and saw a crystal clear blue jellyfish pendant inside. He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He took the pendant in his hand and examined it, and gently touched the jellyfish head with his fingers. It felt cool and smooth, and sparkled under the light. It was very beautiful, something that a little girl would like.

It was the first time someone gave him this kind of gift, and it was quite novel.

"Like it?"
