Su Li stared at the words "Happy Birthday, Su Li" for a long time without moving.
"Su Li, is today your birthday? Why didn't you tell us?"
Chang E asked, finally realizing.
Su Li shook her head. "I forgot myself, so how could I have told you?"
Celebrating a birthday was a distant concept to her; she had never once celebrated hers growing up.
In the Su Family, the only person who ever got to celebrate their birthday was Su Dan. On that day, Miao Fenghua would wake up early to cook him noodles and boil him eggs.
When she was little, Su Li envied Su Dan the most.
She had cried and demanded a birthday celebration too, but all she got in return was a beating from Miao Fenghua.
As for Father Su, he was decent enough to the two sisters, but he simply wasn't that attentive. In time, he and their mother forgot Su Xing's and Su Li's birthdays entirely. For Su Li, her birthday was nothing more than the date of birth recorded on the household register.
