"Today is your birthday. I forgot to tell you at school. Happy birthday. You must be happy for the new year!"

"Yeah." He responded lightly, his emotions had calmed down, and he couldn't tell the loss and joy. He only felt a strange calm in his heart at this moment. The person who had lost control and cried like a person who was abandoned by the whole world, was completely separated from him and was now divided into two independent individuals.

He stared at the crimson coffee table table top with his lower eyes and his fingers slid over the dial button.

"If nothing happens, I'll just hang up first."

"good..."

A second before Chen Yanxian wanted to hang up the machine, he heard the other party suddenly shouting: "Hey wait--"

"?" He stopped.

"Chen Yanxian, are you... alone at home?" Zhou Li asked tentatively on the other end. It took him a long time before he slowly and very lightly.

"It's nothing." She said carefully for a moment.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yanxian went to the bathroom, looked at the slightly embarrassed face in the mirror and looked away, and turned on the shower.

After taking a shower, time slipped away again. Chen Yanxian calmly put the dirty clothes into the washing machine and began to take out the textbook tomorrow to review.

The night was quiet, the cool breeze poured into the window, and a lamp in front of the desk illuminated the night. His face was eroded by the cold mist in the middle of the night, and there was no warmth.

A knock on the door suddenly rang out.

Awaken the immersed person.

Chen Yanxian opened the door in a little surprised. There was a warm candle outside. Zhou Li was holding the cake, and her smiling face shone with darkness.

She was not fully tuned, but she seemed to have no flaws when singing her birthday song. Her tone was soft and cute, like a little angel with wings on her head drawn in the book, waving a fairy stick and singing around his ear.

Maybe it was because of being too fragile and sensitive tonight. Chen Yan clearly thought this metaphor was very pretentious. He searched the entire brain hard, but couldn't find a language that was more suitable for the moment.

At this moment, she is his exclusive angel.

Chen Yanxian stood in the empty living room, immersed in the memory of the past, and smiled unconsciously on his face, gradually expanding with the curve of the corners of his mouth until his eyebrows and eyes were completely relaxed.

The night is quiet, the aroma of the food in the air has not been dissipated, but the fog has dissipated.

Then, let's just let her go.
