Chapter 114 - The Birthday Celebration and the Hidden Twist

In the park's lake, a small boat suddenly capsized, and the beautiful girl who was rowing fell into the water. She couldn't swim, and just as she cried out for help, she sank to the lake's bottom.

A boy swam desperately to her, grabbed her, and swiftly swam back to the shore. With the boy's prompt rescue, the girl gradually regained consciousness.

She felt extremely grateful to the boy, and they chatted for a long time, eventually becoming friends. Coincidentally, it was the girl's 21st birthday, and that evening, the boy invited her to dinner to celebrate.

After the cake was brought out, the girl closed her eyes to make a wish, then said to the boy, "You saved my life; you should help me blow out the candles."

The boy blew out all 21 candles in one breath, and then they ate, drank, and talked together. The romantic boy asked the girl, "What kind of person do you want to marry in the future?"

The girl thought for a moment and said, "He must be brave..."

The boy asked, "Do you think I'm brave in your eyes?"

The girl nodded and said, "You risked your life to save me, so, of course, you're brave. However, the person I want to marry must not only be brave but also intelligent. I feel like you might not be... very intelligent."

The boy laughed and said, "But why did your boat capsize for no reason?"

The girl was surprised and asked, "Did you make it capsize?"

The boy proudly nodded.

The girl looked around cautiously and then lowered her voice, "You're still not smart enough! Even now, you haven't thought about why I asked you to help me blow out the candles? In reality, I ran out of breath a long time ago!"
