“Besides, if you really want to thank me, it’s best to express it with action.”

Since she knew what he meant, Su Jiu’s face heated up.

She said, “I know. I know. When you get back, I’ll thank you with action. Okay?”

“You said it,” Rong Si replied and chuckled again. It was so pleasant that it made her heart flutter.

Anyway, Su Jiu could not resist his voice. Just listening to him speak, even if it was just a laugh, gave her the urge to pounce on him!

“Actually…” Rong Si began again. “In addition to this gift, I have another gift for you.”

“Really? Where is it? I’ll open it immediately!” Su Jiu immediately walked to the rest of the gift boxes and prepared to open Rong SI’s.

She couldn’t wait to find out what it was!

“You don’t have to open it. You just have to walk to the balcony.”

“Huh?” The balcony?

Surprised, she hurried to the balcony. Her eyes widened at what she saw.

A row of tall French sycamores was planted outside the villa. It was late in the evening, and only the street lamps cast a yellow glow that illuminated a small area. Under the street lamps stood a tall, slender young man in a white shirt and black coat, holding a small cake in one hand.

When Su Jiu saw him, he looked up and met her gaze.

The little villain, he… he actually came?!

As if that wasn’t enough, heart-shaped candles lay beside the clearing at his feet. The candlelight was dancing merrily. He had obviously prepared it with care. She felt as if she had been given a huge visual shock. She was stunned to say anything.

Without another word, she left the room. Since it was late at night and her parents had returned to their rooms to rest, she quickly sneaked out and ran to Rong Si.

Rong Si was standing in front of her room. She came out of the villa and took a long detour before running to him. As she panted, she called out to him happily, “Big Brother, why are you here? When did you come back?”

“An hour ago. As soon as I got off the plane, I came over immediately.” Rong Si looked down at her and saw the surprise in her eyes. He couldn’t help but smile.

Su Jiu stared at him for two seconds before jumping into his arms. She pressed herself against his chest and greedily breathed in his scent. Then she aggrievedly whispered, “I… I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Then, she looked up and said indignantly, “Why didn’t you tell me when you came back? You… knew I’d been…”

She let the sentence trail off, turning her face away in a fit.

Rong Si reached out and turned her face back to his. He smiled. “Been waiting for me?”

“Yes!” Su Jiu raised her voice and glared at him. “It’s all your fault! You made me sad on my birthday!”

Rong Si freed one arm to hold her close and rubbed his chin against her forehead. “I’m sorry! I thought I’d surprise you. After all, you did that before, didn’t you?”

Su Jiu choked, remembering how she had sneaked over to look for him on his birthday. The little villain remembered.

“Fine, then I’ll forgive you this once. I won’t do it again!”

Rong Si ruffled her hair, his tone indulgent. “Okay.”

Then he raised the small cake before her.
