Listening to Li Yuan’s words, Bai Weixi’s cheeks flushed slightly as she stared at him, a smile on her face.
When you like someone, every little detail of your time together becomes a beautiful memory.
When you don’t like someone, anything they’ve done for you becomes worthless, forgotten completely.
Li Yuan looked at Bai Weixi and offered his birthday wishes.
"Bai, I’ve liked you since our first year of high school, from the moment I first saw you in your school uniform. In these past three-plus years, all 1,175 days and nights, there’s only one thing I want to say to you."
"For the rest of my life, having you is enough!"
"Bai, happy birthday."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Bai Weixi, whose face was now streaked with tears, and clapped his hands. A hotel staff member immediately approached, presenting a red tray to him.
On the red tray lay a necklace. Its pendant was a heart-shaped emerald encased in a delicate setting of diamonds.
When Li Yuan lifted the Tiffany & Co. necklace from the tray, an uproar filled the room.
*"Wow, wow, wow! That emerald necklace is gorgeous! It must be incredibly expensive. Li Yuan is so lavish, and he’s so good to Weixi."*
*"I think I saw this necklace on the Tiffany & Co. website. It’s a new release, isn’t it? Worth fifty to sixty thousand! I’m so envious. Is this the power of Director Li? Is this what love is like for the rich? I’d die happy if I could experience this just once."*
*"Yuan, oh, my dear Yuan! You’ve made Bai’s birthday party so high-profile. What are we poor folk supposed to do now?"*
Amidst the chorus of murmurs and the envious stares of the crowd, Li Yuan held the necklace and slowly walked over to Bai Weixi.
"Bai, let me put this on for you."
"Mhm! Yuan!" Bai Weixi’s moved gaze seemed to melt, as if she wished she could dissolve right into Li Yuan’s body.
Li Yuan’s fingers brushed aside Bai Weixi’s hair, revealing her long, flawless neck. He leaned in close and slowly fastened the necklace. The brief touch of his fingers against her skin sent a faint, tingling sensation through her.
After he had put the necklace on her, Bai Weixi could no longer hold back. She threw her arms around Li Yuan’s neck and kissed him again.
The host seized the moment to start another round of applause, stirring up the atmosphere.
"It is truly an honor to witness such heartfelt and sincere love! Let’s give this new couple—oh, my apologies, for these two lovers—a round of applause."
Instantly, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd.
Down in the audience, Zhong Tingyue watched Li Yuan kissing Bai Weixi on stage, and a wave of bitter jealousy washed over her.
Wouldn’t any girl feel awful watching her boyfriend kiss another girl in front of everyone, with all their friends clapping joyfully?
Before she knew it, her vision blurred as unruly tears escaped her eyes and raced down her cheeks.
After what felt like a long time, Li Yuan and Bai Weixi slowly separated.
Li Yuan glanced at his watch. It was almost nine o’clock. He gave the host a subtle nod.
The host understood immediately and, according to the plan, began the next event of the night.
The large projection screen was unfurled, billowing white mist appeared on stage, and dynamic music began to pulse. Servers brought out trays piled with various kinds of seafood, grilled meats, pastries, and other gourmet foods. An assortment of cocktails and other drinks were also served.
The host announced, "And now, for our second-to-last event tonight, the Bonfire Party! I invite all you handsome guys and beautiful ladies to indulge in delicious food, sip on fine wine, and sing your favorite songs!"
"Let’s get up and get moving!"
As the host finished speaking, the music swelled, transforming the venue into an open-air bar as the rhythm picked up.
Li Yuan whispered something in Bai Weixi’s ear. With flushed cheeks, she took the microphone and, as the music played, she began to speak.
"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I’d like to sing a song for you all, ’White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole.’ The boy I like most wrote it just for me!"
As Bai Weixi began to sing, the atmosphere instantly reached a fever pitch.
*"The songs of the past swirl around my fingertips; a beauty I can’t obtain, always in my heart..."*
The students in the audience began to enjoy the food and drinks, letting go and immersing themselves in the vibrant scene.
Zhong Tingyue watched it all unfold as she sipped her cocktail. A flush crept up her cheeks, and before she knew it, she was already a little drunk.
