She once said to him with a smile, "Tingxin, how about I prepare a cake for you every birthday from now on? I'll eat a slice of your birthday cake every year until our hair turns white and our teeth fall out!"
"Every birthday? Does that mean you'll stay with me until we're old?"
"Didn't you say we can't break up if we started dating? Look, I have no intention of breaking up with you. I'm gonna hang on to you for the rest of my life!"
"Okay, hang on to me for the rest of your life. You're not allowed to go away!"
Their laughter and sweet words at the time seemed to still echo in his ears. He never expected them to break up and he was the one who initiated it.
"You can wait if you think you can, but I don't know when I'll be back," Bai Tingxin said gruffly.
Color returned to her pale little face as he said this. Her pitiful expression vanished and turned into happiness. "I'll wait for you no matter how late it is!" She grinned at him.
It was silly to see that smile with her swollen cheeks, but he watched it with some fascination.
...
At night, Bai Tingxin closed his eyes as he lay in bed, but he was sleepy at all. All he could think about was Qin Lianyi's voice and smile.
The room the butler had arranged for her was right next to his.
For some reason, the thought of her sleeping in the next room seemed to make him even more agitated.
