When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Hongming.

"Get up. I'll take you out for a walk in the afternoon. Today is your birthday. You can mention anything to me."

Xiao Zi raised her eyelids lazily and tiredly. Under her long eyelashes were her delicate eyes. There was no luster in her eyes, but there was warm sunshine on her face: "My feet hurt."

"Huh?" Zhou Hongming squatted down, "Where does it hurt? Let me squeeze it for you."

He carefully lifted one of her feet and saw nothing unusual.

"It hurts everywhere."

Zhou Hong clearly understood that she just wanted to be him.

He sneered and pressed the button for her: "Is the strength okay? Are you feeling better?"

"My shoulders hurt too."

Zhou Hongming pressed her shoulder again.

He really owed her a favor in his last life. She stabbed him, but he still loved her so much.

There is no other way, her heart has been taken away, how can I tolerate others.

After pressing her for a while, he picked her up and said, "I'll carry you to eat. The food is getting cold. I'll press it for you after you finish."

Xiao Zi was sitting at the dining table. He made a large table of dishes, which looked pretty good.

Zhou Hongming just picked up the rice bowl and saw that she didn't move, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you eat it? It doesn't suit your taste?"

"These fish... look like they have a lot of spines. How can anyone eat them? And this crab, isn't it easy to peel? I just applied hand cream on my hands today. It's a pity to wash it off. I don't want to do it."

Zhou Hongming was stunned for a moment. At first he didn't quite understand what Xiao Zi meant, thinking that she didn't want to eat it. After thinking about it again, he finally understood: "If you don't dislike it, I'll make it for you."

"Then do it." Xiao Zi didn't mind doing it at all.

There is no need for her to be nice to him, no need to accommodate him, no need to feel sorry for him.

Zhou Hongming couldn't do such a delicate job, but he still put down his chopsticks and did it. First he peeled a shrimp for her, making himself miserable.

Xiao Zi then lazily picked up the chopsticks.

Zhou Hongming is not unhappy in her heart. Today is her birthday, so she can be happy.

"Xiao Zi, let's eat cake together later."

"It's too greasy, I won't eat it."

"I bought it especially for you."

"I said I won't eat." Xiao Zi said coldly, her eyes cold.

Zhou Hongming had an uncontrollable smile on his face and was no longer persistent.

If she doesn't eat it, it's fine if he eats it. It's all about celebrating her birthday anyway, and everyone can eat the cake the same.

Zhou Hongming's hand was pricked, it hurt a lot, and it bled a little. After washing his hands, he processed them a little before continuing to peel her off, while Xiao Zi pretended not to notice the whole time.

The two had little communication, and Xiao Zi, who had a lively nature, became taciturn and rarely spoke.

Occasionally, Zhou Hongming would say a few words to break the silence and embarrassment. In fact, he never quite understood that they had a good relationship when they were teenagers.

What did he do wrong?

It was a rare day when they maintained such a stable peace, without quarreling or irritating each other.

It's just that she didn't eat a bite of the cake Zhou Hongming bought for Xiao Zi, and she didn't even look at it.

As a person who doesn't like sweets, he silently swallowed a mouthful of cake. It was obviously sweet, but when he tasted it, it turned bitter in his throat. The endless bitterness made him unable to swallow it.

…

Winter passes and spring comes.

Zhou Hongming goes out every day, but Xiao Zi's only activity place is in front of his house.

She doesn't want to go out, or...she wants to live here drunk and dreaming.

She couldn't escape, and she didn't want to escape.
