She was no longer convince herself that they were just dreams. The blurred memories had really happened!
"Huo Nanchen..."
She pulled on Huo Nanchen's sleeve, feeling insecure. Huo Nanchen looked at her uneasy eyes and stroked the strands of hair on her forehead. "What's wrong?"
"I seem to have remembered something that happened in the past. I remember it now!" Gu Ruochu was a little emotional because she had not retained the original owner's memory when she was reborn. She guessed that the original Gu Ruochu had lost her memory after the car accident.
Now, she seemed to be slowly remembering.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid."
Huo Nanchen hugged her and gently planted a kiss on her forehead. "You'll remember eventually. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll be there."
"Okay."
His last sentence calmed Gu Ruochu's emotions.
She felt at peace.
Slowly, Gu Ruochu leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Huo Nanchen tightened his hold around her waist, and the swing swayed in the air.
"Ruochu, open your eyes." His seductive voice rang in her ears.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of tiny golden lights lit up the surroundings. Gu Ruochu was in awe as the layers of light around her were ignited.
In an instant, the garden lit up as if it was daytime. It was shockingly beautiful. It was as if the entire world was shrouded in a large golden light.
Gu Ruochu stood rooted to the spot in a daze.
The dazzling flames scattered in all directions, and the starlight filled the surroundings. The surrounding sparks lit up the people on the swing.
It was like a scene out of a fairytale.
"So beautiful!" Gu Ruochu held her breath.
She was moved and could not find any more words to describe it.
Everything before her eyes was so dreamy. Whether it was in her past life or her new one, she had never experienced such a scene before.
"What day is it?"
"Today is my first birthday for you." Her birthday had already passed, so Huo Nanchen was trying to make up for it.
Gu Ruochu looked at him and could not help but burst into laughter. "Who gives so many presents on a birthday?"
"Mmm. I am making up for the last nineteen birthdays I've missed." He looked at her with a deep grin on his face.
'The last nineteen birthdays?'
Gu Ruochu looked at the boxes in front of her. They were all gifts that he had carefully selected. She counted them, and they were exactly twenty of them.
"I want to make up for not only your birthday but also all the other holidays. I want to spend every single one of them with you."
'I want to make up for all your birthdays...
'Not only your birthday but also all the other holidays...
'I want to spend every single one of them with you.'
At that moment, Gu Ruochu felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation in her heart.
There was a mixture of bitterness and joy. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Who wouldn't like to be coaxed like this? Every single sentence struck her soft heart.
"D*mn, this is too romantic, too torturous!"
Huo Zijun, who had been taking pictures from afar, could not take it anymore. Gu Ruochu turned around and saw him hugging his digital camera, about to burst into tears. He had been tormented.
"Are you spying on us?" Gu Ruochu asked.
"Of course not. Huo Nanchen asked me to take the pictures. I agreed as a birthday present for my sister-in-law," Huo Zijun explained with a smile.
