Chapter 120: The Last Birthday

The boy counted the various fates between him and Xiaoxue, "After getting off the bus, I asked Xiaoxue for her phone number, I still remember the mood at that time, I think the four words of meeting and hating late are completely used to describe my state of mind, I just hate why God didn't arrange for us to meet earlier, if that's the case, we can report to school together, take classes together in the two classes next door, and then wear bachelor's uniforms together and graduate from college..."

Lin Yu was a very competent listener, and he found that whenever the boy mentioned the name Xiaoxue, the corners of his mouth would rise slightly uncontrollably, obviously, Xiaoxue was the person the boy cared about the most in the world.

Later, Xiaoxue successfully applied for the animation company, and with her encouragement, I quit my 9-to-5 job as a civil engineer and became a full-time photographer. Our relationship is developing rapidly, maybe we both feel that we can't find someone more suitable for us than each other, we have common hobbies, have the same attitude towards life, and even like to eat the same things. In our free time, Xiaoxue and I would find a quiet and beautiful place, where she would sit and sketch, while I would take pictures of the scenery from different angles, and sometimes we would stay all day without realizing it, and we didn't know how it could get dark so quickly.

Xiaoxue and I quickly established a relationship, although sometimes there will be small quarrels, and it is inevitable to experience some awkwardness that couples will encounter, but our relationship has always been very good. Until today, exactly three years and six months later, we were going to have a wedding at the end of this year..."

Back to reality, the boy has a lonely look on his face, all the good things have become a thing of the past, and the current situation is that the boy is dead, leaving Xiaoxue alone in the world.

"Why do you think I was hit by falling glass, am I damned?, but I have never done anything bad in my life," the boy couldn't understand how he could have died at a young age, his body had always been healthy, and what killed him was a piece of glass that fell from a tall building, and the boy felt that this kind of thing happened to him no different from being struck by lightning.

If he had encountered such a question before, Lin Yu still didn't know how to answer it, but after the words of the previous god of death that night, Lin Yu knew why the boy died. "Everyone has their own number of lives, and if you die in an accident, it can only mean that your yang longevity has reached in this life," Lin Yu could only explain so much, he originally wanted to say that he had also died once because of an accident, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, after all, not everyone can be selected to be the god of death.

The boy didn't seem to understand Lin Yu's words, Lin Yu didn't want the other party to continue asking, so he changed the topic and said, "Since you and Xiaoxue have such a good relationship, why don't you go and see her now, but sit here alone?"

The boy put away the doubts on his face, and his expression became a little serious, "I, I don't dare to go to see her, because today happens to be her birthday..."

Not far from this beach, there is a private house, the first and second floors are occupied by the landlord himself, and the rooms on the third and fourth floors are rented out. Although the accommodation conditions cannot be compared with commercial housing, the surrounding scenery is good, you can see a wide ocean when you walk to the balcony, and people who live here can also go for a walk on the beach from time to time, so the rental price here is actually not cheap.

The boy's girlfriend, Xiaoxue, lives in this residential house, and he hasn't seen Xiaoxue for several days, because Xiaoxue neither went to the balcony to see the scenery, nor did she go out for a walk on the beach, and her door was always closed, and only at night did some light shine through it.

Lin Yu and the boy appeared under the residential building, he knew that although the boy said that he didn't dare, he actually wanted to know how Xiaoxue was doing now, but without Xiaoxue's permission, he couldn't enter that room.

"Let's go in and have a look, even if it's a different way to celebrate her birthday," Lin Yu persuaded next to the boy, he found that the boy had been staring at the light from the window, and his heart had actually flown to Xiaoxue a long time ago.

Under Lin Yu's encouragement, the boy finally nodded, although he could imagine that the next picture might make him sad and painful, but as the god of death said, it was better to spend the last birthday with Xiaoxue.

The boy and Lin Yu flew lightly outside the door together, and under the leadership of Lin Yu, the boy finally returned to the house he rented again.

The layout of the room is very simple, just a bedroom with a built-in bathroom, but for young couples, this configuration is enough.

Lin Yu immediately saw Xiaoxue in the boy's mouth, she had short hair that reached her ears, and her body was a simple combination of short sleeves and short skirts, and her facial features were indeed not a delicate beauty type at first glance, but she revealed a special temperament that only artistic girls have.

"Xiaoxue...", the boy couldn't help but cry out at the first sight of the girl, but after calling it, he realized that no human being could hear his voice except for the death beside him.

The boy found that Xiaoxue was not what he imagined, hiding in the room alone and crying sadly, with a delicate birthday cake in front of her, with the English letters Happy Birthday written on it in red cream, and a lot of fruits and chocolates embellished among them.

Xiaoxue is putting candles on the birthday cake one by one, and today she turns twenty-four years old, so she has to put twenty-four candles on the cake. When the last candle was inserted, Xiaoxue's mouth breathed a sigh of relief, she took a lighter from the desk, lit the extra candle in her hand, and then lit the candles on the cake one by one.

The process took about half a minute, and Xiaoxue behaved calmly all the time, as if the act of lighting a candle was a ritual, and only when all the candles on the cake were burning, Xiaoxue put down the candle in her hand.

Looking at everything that happened in front of him, Lin Yu couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart, is the relationship between Xiao Xue and that boy really that good? In Lin Yu's opinion, even if the boy is dead, Xiao Xue is still living her birthday like no one, and there is no sadness on her face.

Lin Yu shifted his gaze to the boy, and the boy also frowned slightly at this time, and he also had similar questions to Lin Yu in his heart. Although he didn't want to see Xiaoxue crying bitterly, but acting so normally showed another problem, Xiaoxue didn't like herself as much as she imagined, and just a few days later, her mood had already calmed down.

Xiaoxue stood up from the ground, turned off the lights in the room, and then squatted down in front of the cake alone, as if to make a wish.
