As soon as the words were out, Wu Sheng let go of Su Li.
Under the light, the smile in Wu Sheng's eyes was practically overflowing.
Su Li looked into his eyes and nodded blankly. "Yes, happy."
This was the happiest day she'd had since receiving her university acceptance letter.
Seeing Su Li's dazed, honest expression, Wu Sheng couldn't resist ruffling her hair.
"I hope you'll always be as happy as you are today."
Her happiness was his greatest comfort. Wu Sheng gazed at Su Li, reluctant to look away.
"It's so good to be able to look at you like this again."
He was also especially, especially, especially happy today.
Wu Sheng smiled and said his goodbyes. "I should get going now."
'If I don't leave now, I'll be even more reluctant to go.'
"Wait..." Hearing that he was leaving, Su Li called out to him without thinking, her words faster than her thoughts.
"Hm?" Wu Sheng looked down at Su Li. "Is there something else?"
Su Li blinked. "When is your birthday?"
