The candles went out the moment he finished speaking, plunging them into darkness.
Lu Zhaoyang’s heart was pounding. He told his story without mincing words. It was short but devastating.
She was not aware of his past. No wonder he did not touch the cake.
He spoke again in the darkness,
Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me. This is my first time celebrating since my mother’s passing. I am truly happy.

It did not seem anything like happiness in his voice.


It was impossible to each other, but she could sense Xiang Jinxi walking past her and into the distance.
The stars grew brighter above her. She looked at the cake on the table and the empty seat opposite her. After a long sigh, she took her bag and left.
On the way home, she made a call to Huo Yunting.

Are you at the hospital now?

His lazy voice came from the speaker.
Go home and rest. I am fine, so don’t come by.


Are you really alright?


Are you hoping otherwise?


Of course not!


Don’t speak on the phone while driving. I’m hanging up now.
Huo Yunting cut her off.
Lu Zhaoyang heard the dial tone and put her phone away.


She did not know what happened with Qiu Ran, but it was definitely nothing good.
He must be feeling under the weather at the moment. It may be better to stop bothering him.
Lu Zhaoyang returned to her apartment. She went straight to her unit, unaware of Lu Bai watching her after taking out the trash.
He pursed his lips and looked vexed.
Lu Bai went back to his own apartment. He dragged the perpetually idle Wen He out of bed and switched on his laptop.
Wen He was in a daze and was about to complain when someone’s face appeared on the monitor.

Hey, Bai.
It was Chen Jiu.
Wen He heard the familiar voice and immediately sat down obediently beside Lu Bai. He was excited to see his friend who had narrowly escaped death.

Chen Jiu! Where the hell are you now?


I’m in the city, but I will not be meeting up with you guys yet so as to keep you safe. My dear He He, do you miss me?
Chen Jiu smiled teasingly at her.



Of course, I miss you to death! I never imagined that you would survive!
Wen He slapped Lu Bai on the shoulder in excitement.
Chen Jiu smiled and said,
Huo Chen seems to have returned to the military base. I thought that I’d be free once he is gone, but that Huo Yunting offered a city-wide bounty on me. I’ve been hiding in this tiny hostel for the past two days, do you think you can lend a hand?


My arm is injured.
Wen He immediately offered an excuse.

I’m just a weakling who can’t even help myself.
Lu Bai demeaned himself without shame.

Don’t give me that. Aren’t you good friends with Huo Yunting and the lady? I promise you I won’t kill them, but you have to guarantee my survival!

Chen Jiu was frustrated at his current situation.
He should have stayed focused and went straight to Huo Chen!
Huo Yunting turned out to be even worse to deal with than Huo Chen.

You started this. It’s none of my business.

Lu Bai delivered the words casually, but his ears were already blushing.


When Wen He heard that Lu Bai was on good terms with Huo Yunting, she turned her full attention toward him.

You’re too cold, Bai. How can you just leave me to die? Are you still…
Wen He slammed the laptop shut before Chen Jiu could finish.
