Chapter 46

“Oh, Xinxin, happy birthday!”

Her last sentence shocked Tang Xin. They had only played a birthday spinning wheel game when they went shopping previously, and Xia Zhixing had actually remembered!

It was the first time in 22 years that someone had remembered her birthday and sincerely said happy birthday to her.

Maybe they were destined to be good friends, having met each other at a destined time, and knowing each other!

“Your husband must have prepared a lot of surprises for you! The birthday girl has the say on this special day, so you will be forgiven no matter what you did wrong!” Over the phone, Xia Zhixing sounded like she was panting, as if she was running anxiously. There was also the sound of things colliding occasionally.

“Um, I hope so.” Tang Xin’s heart was still heavy. How would he surprise her when he didn’t even know it was her birthday?

Moreover, it was impossible that he could ever give her any surprise.

It would be wonderful if things really turned out like Xingxing said—she would be forgiven no matter what she did today.

The approaching footsteps outside the greenhouse were drowned by the raindrops falling on it.

“Ah…”

In the alley, Xia Zhixing tripped over a fallen bamboo pole, and her phone fell out of her hand.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Xingxing, what happened?” A worried voice came from the phone.

Xia Zhixing got up, picked up her phone and placed it back beside her ear, “I, I’m okay… how terrible, today is also a very special day for me.”

“What day is it? Is it worth celebrating?” Tang Xin asked with joy.

“I don’t know, my heart feels weird, like I’m reuniting with someone, and also parting with someone. There seems to be a path in my memory guiding me, but I can’t find the entrance. Especially… today’s nasty weather is really exasperating!” Xia Zhixing stared at the dark shadow coming from the alley in front of her and hit the floor in frustration.

“Could it be related to the memory you lost before you were eight?” Tang Xin started to worry.

She remembered that when Xia Zhixing took back the bracelet, she had said that the bracelet was very important to her. Her memory had begun after the age of eight, and she might have lost the most important person in her life.

“I have also thought so these years, so I haven’t given up looking for that path, but unfortunately, there are always busybodies blocking the way!” Looking at the man who was getting closer, Xia Zhixing said the second half of the sentence while gritting her teeth.

In the misty alley, the man walked over in a refined manner holding an umbrella. The umbrella covered half of his face, showing only his thin lips with a forced smile and a good-looking chin.

“On this day every year, what would you be without me?” The man stood upright and carried the umbrella for her, his voice low and devilish.

The voice, together with the sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella, went into Tang Xin’s ear at the other end.

Tang Xin immediately remembered the scene where she had met Xia Zhixing for the first time, and she couldn’t help but stand up anxiously. “Xingxing, are you really okay? Should I call the police for you?”

“I’m okay. Have a great celebration for your birthday, keep in touch.” Xia Zhixing hung up the phone and got up from the puddle of standing water, her stubborn eyes like flames.

“You’re the one who needs me! But since I have escaped, I will not go back with you again!” After that, she turned and fled.

However, her memory had deteriorated, and she had forgotten that this man never came out alone.

Before she could even run ten steps, she was caught by his men and forced to walk behind him…
