Morning, The Heir Chapter 37: Xiaomi, Happy Birthday

Lying on the bed, Lin Xin'er cut Xue Haolin's goldfish into pieces with a scissor.

Xue Haolin was suddenly asked to go to America by the Xue family and came here to say goodbye to Lin Xiaomi before leaving. The latter, by coincidence, wasn't at home.

It was Lin Xin'er who came out.

When he asked about Lin Xiaomi's name, she said without hesitation, "Lin Xin'er. She is Lin Xin'er."

Lin Xiaomi just arrived in the Lin family and disliked being called Lin Xiaomi, so Lin Xiaomi didn't tell him her name.

Lin Xin'er never thought that her habitual action would result in such a good outcome.

What if Lin Xiaomi knew the man she had waited for would marry Lin Xin'er?

Having run down the hill, Lin Xiaomi was like a drenched chicken when catching a cab.

Her clothes wetted the seat, which made her feel embarra.s.sed.

What annoyed her most was that the rain became smaller after she got in the car.

When she was on her way back to her apartment, she saw a familiar figure standing in the doorway of the community through the window.

She thought she saw it wrong, but when she looked at it carefully, she found it was really him.

"Stop the car." She paid the bill and jumped out of the car.

Leng Yihuang also saw her, walked over, and held the umbrella for her.

"Why are you here?" asked she with doubts.

"Where is your cellphone? Why don't you answer it?" asked he.

"It's turned off." If her cellphone rang at the party, Jiang Hui would absolutely scold her, so she turned her cellphone off and didn't remember to turn it on later.

He spoke nothing. They walked toward the apartment. The rain turned heavier again and hit the umbrella, making cracking sounds.

Amid sounds, she suddenly asked, "You stood in the doorway in the defiance of the rain, so you waited for me?"

He said after coldly glancing at her, "Who else it can be? You didn't drive the car, nor did you take an umbrella. Besides, you left your wallet at home. You didn't answer your phone at night. I've never seen a girl like you before."

When the rain turned heavier and heavier, he was worried that she would get wet, so he wanted to pick her up, but he didn't know when she came back.

He couldn't reach her by phone, so he had to wait for her in the doorway.

Having stood in the rain for a while, he felt very cold, so his tone was bad.

Lin Xiaomi looked at him in surprise as if she didn't know him.

She couldn't trust his words. Was he really so kind?

When he looked into her eyes, he knew what she was thinking.

Thus, he was p.i.s.sed off and refused to talk to her, but the umbrella was almost on her side.

She also noticed that the other shoulder of him was totally exposed to the rain.

"choo!" He sneezed after being unable to control himself.

She slightly curled her red lips and felt somewhat touched.

She had run in the heavy rain alone for about 20 minutes but felt warm now when standing beside him in the rain.

No one remembered her birthday and blessed her, but she was not alone.

She was right before. They were friends.

The moment they got into the building, she suddenly waved her arm and clapped him before saying, "Dude, thank you!"

Her sudden clap startled Leng Yihuang. When the latter realized what she meant, his face was stiffened.

"Who is your dude?" said he indifferently.

He refused to be her dude!

He furiously walked upstairs, and she felt baffling.

Why was he suddenly angry? It was said that women were as changeable as the weather. But, in her eyes, he was more changeable.

After entering the apartment, she saw him almost get wet and kindly asked him to take a hot bath. "Don't get a cold."

However, he directly rolled his eyes at her.

"Mind your business!"

d.a.m.n it!

Why did he act like he had the period?

Irrespective of him, she picked Little Nipper up and comfortably took a hot bath with it.

The lights were off, plunging the entire apartment into darkness when she walked out of the bathroom with Little Nipper in her hands.

"What's happening? It the electricity cut off?" She thought it was the rain that resulted in this.

No one replied to her after a long time. It was dark, so she couldn't see where he was standing.

Even Little Nipper was shivering in her hands.

She said nervously, "Hey, I'm talking to you! Where are you? Talk to me."

The moment she finished talking, a noise arose in the kitchen.

The next second, he stepped out of the kitchen with a cake in his hands.

Immediately, her eyes were full of tears.

She wanted to cry when seeing his handsome face against the dim light of the candles.

"You..." She said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "How do you know today is my birthday?"

"I see it on your ID. Doesn't your birthday fall on today?"

"..." She almost forgot that her ID was still in his hands.

"Blow out the candles". He urged her.

"Oh." She came forward in a hurry and bent over to blow out them. He said, "Make a wish first."

"Yes, I forget it." With a smile, she closed her eyes and folded her hands, making the sole wish in her heart: she wished that her grandmother could turn healthy and live longer.

The room was dim again when the candles were off. When he turned on the lights, he found that she was crying.

"You're touched by this?" He was able neither to cry nor to laugh.

Women were so easily moved.

She said with a sweet and satisfying smile on her face, "From the age of seven, my grandma's been sick, and my mom's taken me to the Lin family. I haven't celebrated my birthday since then."

Bending over the tea table, she satisfactorily looked at the delicate and beautiful fruit cake, took a deep breath, and drool like a little kitten.

Her casual tone made his heart ached.

He never thought that what she said would make his heart in pain.

Since seven years old?

A scene unfolded before him that a little thin girl jealously looked at Lin Xin'er who was surrounded by a lot of people to celebrate her birthday.

Lin Xiaomi would have expected her mother to remember her birthday, but gradually, she turned disappointed.

"Xiaomi, happy birthday!" Leng Yihuang held her into his arms without ulterior motives and whispered in her ears, "I'll remember this day every year and celebrate it for you."

With his voice in her ears, she got her eyes sour and slightly nodded. When she was about to speak something, he suddenly shouted,

"You stupid pig! You're asking to die!"

It turned out that Little Nipper was eating the peach pieces outside of the cake on the sly when they didn't keep an eye on it.
