"There's no need to blow out the candles. Anyway, I'm sure my wish won't come true."
Lin Li's expression froze as well. "But, people always ask for candles so that they can make wishes on their birthdays!"
Dongyu replied, "My family's tradition is to eat longevity noodles."
"I see…"
I suddenly stood up and placed the cake on the table. Then, I arranged the sixteen candles one by one. I didn't know what I was obsessing over. I lit the candles one by one with the lighter and said to Dongyu, "Dongyu, make a wish!? Although the wish might not necessarily come true, it might come true one day."
Dongyu raised his head and finally looked me in the eye. After a moment of silence, his lips turned upwards in a smile that wasn't really a smile. "My wish will never come true."
My smile faltered.
Su Qi could not help being curious. "What kind of wish is it that even you believe it will never be fulfilled'?"
