Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 809: Sheng Tang’s Birthday Cake
Sheng Tang snapped back to reality.
She smiled, "You actually remember?"
"Why wouldn’t I remember? The first bouquet of roses I ever sent was for you," Gu Jiahui said.
Sheng Tang: "..."
This guy not only remembered, but also had the nerve to mention it.
Sheng Tang wanted to fight him and ask if he knew how much of a jerk he was back in school!
She stood up, "You have the nerve to bring that up?"
"Weren’t you happy back then?"
"Happy my ass!"
"Watch your language, think about how your Qinglan Award nomination happened?"
Sheng Tang: "..."
Gu Jiahui watched her at a loss for words, a mischievous smile crept onto his face, like a small prank had succeeded. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
He asked her, "Did you have cake with the crew today?"
"No, I didn’t tell the crew that today is my birthday," Sheng Tang replied.
Gu Jiahui walked out.
Sheng Tang craned her neck to take a look.
Then she heard Gu Jiahui shouting from the living room, "Come on out."
Sheng Tang slipped on her slippers and walked out of the room.
Gu Jiahui placed a small cake on the dining table.
Sheng Tang: "When did you buy it?"
"You said you were coming back today, so I casually bought one," Gu Jiahui said, "If you don’t want to eat it now, it can make a good breakfast tomorrow."
Sheng Tang: "..."
Why does he have to make it sound so crude even if he did a good deed? Is it really that hard to say something nice?
She smiled helplessly.
"Thank you," Sheng Tang said sincerely, "Not just for the cake."
For many other things too.
Like the Qinglan Award, for example.
Gu Jiahui exaggeratedly rubbed his arms, "So cheesy! Come over and have some cake."
He lit a small candle and motioned Sheng Tang to make a wish.
Sheng Tang twitched at the corner of her eyes, "Couldn’t you light a few more candles?"
"It’s just for show," Gu Jiahui refused and turned off the dining room lights.
The room dimmed, and only the small amber glow from the cake illuminated a tiny space, adding a hint of warmth to the cold winter.
Sheng Tang stepped forward and gently closed her eyes.
She didn’t make a wish because what she wanted most, she couldn’t think about right now.
She wanted to be with Gu Shiting.
This wish, she didn’t want to make it her birthday wish, she wanted to keep it buried in her heart, she even pondered whether this thought was appropriate.
What kind of consequences would it bring?
Would her mother have another breakdown?
Sheng Tang reflected for a few seconds, as if she had made a great wish, then blew out the candle.
The room was momentarily engulfed in darkness.
In that darkness, Gu Jiahui suddenly spoke, "Happy birthday, Sheng Tang."
His voice was soft for a moment, very much like the tone he used when talking to Yang Mingming and Fu Qingcen.
He had never spoken to Sheng Tang like that before.
Sheng Tang wanted to see what kind of expression he had at that moment, and also to know if he meant what he said.
However, darkness concealed everything.
Before she could thank him, Gu Jiahui had already turned the lights back on.
The room returned to its brightness.
Sheng Tang cut the small cake and gave a piece to Gu Jiahui, taking a piece for herself as well.
The two of them sat at the dining table.
Sheng Tang wanted to take a few bites, but she was attending the Qinglan Award ceremony the day after tomorrow, she couldn’t allow her face to puff up in the next two days.
The cake was too high-calorie.
Gu Jiahui had taken a couple of bites, and when he noticed she hadn’t touched hers, he gestured with his eyes at her.
Sheng Tang: "I can’t eat it. Honestly, being an actress can be quite a bummer."
Gu Jiahui pulled her cake towards him, "I’ll eat it for you, just pretend you had it."
Sheng Tang smiled.
This birthday of hers had no birthday present, but at least she got a birthday cake.
