I almost touched the moon

At midnight on November 11, Wen Song received Cheng Che's call on time.

"Song Song, happy birthday." Cheng Che's voice was filled with joy. "So, am I the first person to wish you a happy birthday?"

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" When Wen Song heard his words, it would be a lie to say he was unhappy, but his words still seemed a bit inhuman.

"It's already November 7th. I forgot about it. Thank you. Go to bed now."

"Ah, I told you happy birthday, but you are so calm." Cheng Che said a little sadly, "How are you going to celebrate your birthday? Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need." Wen Song said with a smile, "The World Cup will start in a week, so you should train well."

"But I want to accompany you." Cheng Che said, "I will come after training, and then go back tomorrow. It won't delay you."

"No." Wen Song knew his personality and stopped him sternly, "I don't like celebrating my birthday anyway. You should train well first, okay?"

"Okay." Cheng Che was a little disappointed. "Then promise me that you will have a good meal after get off work today to celebrate, okay?"

"I know." Wen Song smiled, "I will go."

"Has anyone sent our eldest lady a birthday present to help you celebrate?" Cheng Che asked, "I've chosen a birthday present that you will definitely like very much."

Wen Song looked at the boxes piled on the floor of the living room and smiled helplessly, "There are a lot of gifts, but no one to celebrate with. It's okay, you know I don't like celebrating my birthday."

As early as the beginning of November, she received birthday gifts from several brands she often bought from. The beautifully decorated greeting cards had formulaic blessings written on them.

"You look so pitiful." Cheng Che felt a little distressed and asked again, "So you really don't want me to accompany you?"

"It's really okay." Wen Song smiled faintly, "I've been through this for so many years, go to sleep, don't worry about me."

"Okay..." Cheng Che said silently, "Then you should go to bed early too. You must spend your birthday happily."

The next morning, Wen Song received a WeChat message from Qiu Xuanyan, "Baby, happy birthday. I can't be with you, so I'll send you a red envelope. Eat more delicious food." Along with the WeChat message, he also received a bank transfer of 52 yuan.

Wen Song looked at the money and smiled helplessly. It was really very Qiu Xuanyan's way.

[Got it, thank you Mr. Qiu, love you. ]

Zhang Yue, Li Yunjia, Xia Ninghe, as well as her grandparents, also sent her WeChat messages to wish her a happy birthday. There were also a bunch of birthday emails in her mailbox from various organizations and brands. Although she was destined to spend her birthday alone, it was enough.

When she returned home, she saw her mother's assistant Su Yu in the lobby downstairs. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When she saw Wen Song, she smiled and waved: "Iseylia, happy birthday!"

Wen Song thanked her for her blessing and asked, "Thank you, why are you here?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Lawyer Wen asked me to give you the birthday present."

After that, he took out a Chaumet bag and handed it to her: "Lawyer Wen chose it personally. It's very beautiful. Come and see if you like it."

Wen Song opened the bag, took out the jewelry box, and opened it, revealing a yellow diamond and platinum diamond necklace from the Joséphine Blooming Flowers series. It had perfectly cut 2-carat yellow diamonds and teardrop-shaped diamonds, and two rows of cut diamonds inlaid on the necklace. The entire necklace clearly had the words "valuable" written on it.

"Please thank Lawyer Wen for taking the trouble to come all the way here."

Although Wen Song was smiling, she couldn't help complaining in her heart. For the whole day, her mother didn't call or send her a message to wish her a happy birthday. This necklace was probably chosen by her assistant and she paid for it.

Su Yu was very good at observing people's expressions and saw her disappointment. Although she knew she shouldn't say too much, she couldn't help but give her some advice: "Lawyer Wen is preparing for the WTO meeting recently, so she is a little busy and may neglect some things. However, as a mother, she definitely loves her daughter, especially since you are the person closest to Lawyer Wen."

"There are only two of this necklace in the world." Su Yu pointed at the necklace and emphasized it.

"I know." Wen Song nodded and said, "Please tell Lawyer Wen that I like it very much. Would you like to come up and sit for a cup of tea?"

"No need." Su Yu shook her head and said, "I still have to go back to Zurich. It's good that you have received Lawyer Wen's kindness."

Wen Song did not force her anymore, and after saying goodbye to her, he took the necklace and went back home. She sat in the living room, looking at the sparkling diamond necklace, knowing her disappointment, and really complaining without reason. But people may be greedy, when they have no money, they want money, and when they have money, they desire emotional comfort.

However, she also knows that when people have something, they will inevitably lose something else. Lawyer Wen, through his hard work and dedication to his career, has given her the best material life, allowing her to have the confidence to live the life she wants without distraction.

Therefore, the happy family atmosphere and the mother's meticulous care are the bargaining chips she needs to pay in exchange.

Thinking of this, she felt much better. She put the necklace away and placed it in the jewelry cabinet. She ordered a takeout and thought of what Cheng Che said. She should have a good dinner to celebrate. After all, it was her birthday.

After dinner, she went to the attic to write a paper. The sky outside the window gradually darkened, from dusk to night. She looked up habitually, but could only see a crescent moon, not the starry sky she longed for.

She smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, thinking that she must have been a little distracted from writing the thesis for too long, which is why she was thinking about seeing the starry sky in the center of Munich.

She glanced at her watch and saw that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. She stretched, got up from her chair, and prepared to make a cup of coffee before continuing to write.

Just at this moment, the doorbell rang. "Maybe I pressed the wrong number?" Thinking this, she answered the call. However, the moment she saw the image on the screen, her heart started beating rapidly.

"Sister, I'm downstairs, happy birthday."
