Yuanya suddenly exclaimed, her face full of excitement, "My birthday is coming up too, just two days after yours!"
Lan Xiu, not showing any signs of surprise, calmly responded, "This is what you call a match made in heaven."
However, shortly after, Yuanya's smiling face suddenly stiffened, then gradually lost its color.
"Actually... I don't know when my real birthday is, the birthday now is the date when I was found and brought home, and Dad set it as my birthday."
Lan Xiu paused what he was doing, his heart ached seeing her pretend to act casual about the topic. His warm palm enveloped her small hand.
But he quickly composed his emotions, deep within his eyes.
He didn't want Yuanya to see and upset her even further.
His thumb gently stroked the back of Yuanya's hand, while his gaze fixated on some point, lost in thought.
"From this year on, we will celebrate every birthday together. Our birthday is on the same day. My birthday is your birthday."
