Charles could no longer suppress the sympathy in his heart. He didn't answer, instead, he stood up and turned to look at the students in the hall, asking loudly:
"Surely someone here has a birthday today?"
In the next moment,
The first student raised their hand and responded, "Me! It's my birthday today!"
The second student also raised their hand, replying, "And me! What a coincidence, it's my birthday too."
The third...
The little girl stood at the hotel door, watching as many older brothers raised their hands, claiming that today was also their birthday. Innocent and naïve, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.
"Why are there so many older brothers celebrating their birthdays today?" The little girl stared with wide eyes at Charles and asked.
Charles slowly turned around and answered firmly, "Today is a special day. Any child who has a birthday today will be very happy in the future."
