Ning Meng held her breath, eager to know the answer .
Huo Beichen’s voice was deep and conflicted as he gave her the answer . “That’s your birthday . November 2nd . ”
Ning Meng’s heart raced fiercely as she blurted out, “But…how did you know…”
Then, before she could finish her words, Ning Meng recalled something and dashed to the living room .
She hurried to her handbag that she had hung near the front door and took out her purse to check her identity card . And there it was, her birthday was printed there as clear as day—November 2nd .
So, it was all in her head after all—she and “Original Ning Meng” shared the same birthday .
Yeah, when she thought about it now, Huo Beichen couldn’t possibly know her birthday in the “real world” .
Huo Beichen’s voice, seemingly eager to continue the conversation, asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ning Meng forced up a smile and spoke into the phone, “No . Nothing . ”

“Your birthday . It’s coming . ”
Ning Meng was surprised after hearing this from him .
Oh, yeah! Her birthday was coming up really soon .
In the “real world”, she had not made many friends, and so, after leaving the orphanage, Ning Meng usually just celebrated her birthday by slurping a bowl of noodles that she had made for herself .
However…
Now, she had friends . She was not alone anymore .
Having thought about this, Ning Meng opened her mouth . “You’d better prepare a really good present for me . ”
“Sure . You can count on me . ”
His voice was deep and enticing, and Ning Meng could feel her ears getting tickled just by listening to it .
After entering her study, Ning Meng switched on her laptop and put her phone aside . “I’d better get back to work now . ”

“But you haven’t had dinner yet . ”
“It’s alright . Dinner can wait . ”
Then, she clicked open a blank notepad and started typing: [The Unforgettable First Crush]
Ning Meng was a comic artist, hence, she was quite used to writing scripts . In other words, if she put in the effort, Ning Meng could easily recreate the script of “The Unforgettable First Crush” from scratch .
“The Unforgettable First Crush” had been a huge TV drama in the “real world”, proving that it could handle the tough and picky market . It would surely do well in this world as well .
After pondering for some time, Ning Meng started to pen down the plot . The girl had a habit of forgetting and ignoring her surroundings when she immersed herself in her work, and consequently, this was the reason she had forgotten to hang up the call .
Huo Beichen sat quietly at the dining table in his villa, listening to the noise of the keyboard tapping coming through the phone and her soft mumbling voice . Somehow, this brought him immense satisfaction and peace of mind .
Unwilling to hang up the phone, Huo Beichen switched on the loudspeaker and sat quietly next to it . By doing this, it felt as though he was by her side .
The moon had risen in the sky as midnight arrived .
Huo Beichen closed his eyes as he felt his heart brim with warmth .

He was now finally with her again .
He could celebrate her birthday with her, fulfilling every wish she had .
However, Huo Beichen was well aware that the girl, who had forgotten everything about him, was quite wary of him and did not have any deep feelings for him just yet .
If he pursued her too fiercely, she might run away .
As these thoughts were running through his mind, Huo Beichen brought down his laptop and started to browse the internet: [The present for my girlfriend…]
When Ning Meng came to, it was already 11:30 am .
Looking at her half-way done script, Ning Meng felt very proud of herself! If she kept on with this speed, she could finish everything in another 3 more days .
Then, she opened the WeChat Client on her laptop and switched to the “My Boss Is So Dashing Today” Group and sent a message: [My birthday is coming soon!]
In mere seconds, replies came in .
Zhen Shanmei: [Just say it . What do you want for your birthday present?]
Qi Shan: [What she said . ]
Su Ye: [What she said +1]
Fei Bai: [What she said +1]
Ning Meng typed out her reply while reading it out loud: [Well, there’s no need for a birthday present . We’re all old pals, aren’t we? But~ you know, a fortune-teller told me that I lack gold in my life . So, yeah~]
