An Mingji’s adam’s apple unconsciously moved as he took step after step toward the luxurious private room.
His hand rested on the door, applying a bit of force to slowly push it open.
The scene inside was revealed.
Colorful balloons, the overpowering scent of lilies, and red, pink, and white flowers could be seen everywhere in the room.
On the wall, a ssage spelled out: Happy Birthday, An Mingji!
On the table sat a two-tier cake, alongside a full table of enticing dishes.
An Mingji had never expected to receive such a surprise today.
Even a big guy like him couldn’t resist the slight tremble of his eyelashes, feeling so moved that he wished he could hug Gu Jin beside him and laugh heartily to release his excitent.
But he knew he couldn’t.
There were other people around; he couldn’t do anything suspicious, as most people present were experts in human behavior.
He couldn’t give himself away.
An Mingji did his best to restrain his excitent, turning back to give Gu Jin a gentle smile, his voice soft and incomparably tender, "Thank you, A Jin!"
His voice still quivered a bit, showing just how excited the young man was.
Gu Jin stepped forward, stood on her tiptoes, and vigorously ruffled his hair, "You brat! How could I forget your birthday? Go and see the present I promised you for your graduation."
An Mingji nodded, lifted his foot, and stepped into the room.
Gu Jin, Qiu Qianghai, and the others also entered the room one after another.
Finding their seats, everyone watched Gu Jin and An Mingji.
They were also curious about what gift Gu Jin, who always doted on An Mingji, would give him.
It was their first ti having the honor to attend the birthday of soone cherished by Gu Jin.
Gu Jin walked up to the cake and lit the sixteen candles on it.
"Xiao An, make a wish."
An Mingji gave her a deep glance, his eyes showing a depth of aning only he understood.
His greatest wish in this life was tied to one person.
"Okay." The young man replied obediently.
Facing the candlelit cake in front of him, he slowly closed his eyes.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you—"
Gu Jin sang softly beside him, her voice gentle and lodious.
Others joined in singing.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!"
Amid everyone’s blessings, An Mingji made a wish.
A wish that even he didn’t know when it would co true.
After making the wish, he slowly opened his eyes.
He blew out the candles on the cake in front of him in one breath.
"Ti to cut the cake, hurry and cut the cake!"
Soone started egging him on.
Qiu Qianghai, Yu Shuo, Jiang Hanyi, and others who knew what was inside the cake, also gathered to watch the fun.
An Mingji took the knife handed to him, placed it on the cake, and slowly cut down.
Just as he had cut three or four centiters, he couldn’t cut further, as if sothing was stuck there.
His first instinct was to look at Gu Jin beside him.
Seeing the smile on her face, he instantly understood; the gift inside the cake was ant for him.
He continued to cut the cake but changed his angle.
Leaving the middle part intact, he cut around the edges.
He lifted the top layer of the cake to reveal what was inside.
There was a travel card wrapped in a plastic bag, An Mingji’s eyes filled with confusion.
He was about to ask the people around him, only to find that Gu Jin had slipped away at so point.
Scanning the room with his eyes, he soon spotted her figure by a bunch of balloons in the corner.
Gu Jin erged with a laptop in her arms, smiling as she slowly walked toward An Mingji.
