"Don't you have anything to say?" Xi Yan suddenly asked.
"What?"
I want to hear what you said after I woke up that day again.
Bai Le thought for a moment, then blushed and glared at him fiercely.
Xi Yan wasn't angry at all. She reached out and ruffled his hair, moved closer to him, and whispered in his ear, "I want to hear."
Bai Le suddenly gripped his collar, closed his eyes, and, without hesitation, leaned close to his ear and shouted, "I like you! I like you! You can hear it as many times as you want!"
"Yes, I like you too." Xi Yan smiled slightly, reached out and hugged him, then closed her eyes.
He inhaled the unique scent of Bai Le on the tip of his nose and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to hear it for a lifetime, is that okay?"
For some reason, Bai Le's eyes felt a little sore, and he hugged Xi Yan back with one arm.
"Of course."
With a "bang," a series of dazzling fireworks burst forth in the dark night sky. Mu Mu jumped up and down with joy, calling out "Dad, Father!" and "Sister!" urging everyone to watch.
Xi Yan smiled, then reached out and picked up Mu Mu. The four of them watched the fireworks bloom in the sky, and the distant clock tower echoed with the sound of chimes.
Xi Yan looked at Bai Le, then gently placed a kiss on his forehead.
Happy birthday, my Lele.
We will always be together.
- We will never be apart.
