Chapter 376
The candles went out the moment he finished speaking, plunging them into darkness .
Lu Zhaoyang’s heart was pounding . He told his story without mincing words . It was short but devastating .
She was not aware of his past . No wonder he did not touch the cake .
He spoke again in the darkness, “Thank you for celebrating my birthday with me . This is my first time celebrating since my mother’s passing . I am truly happy . ”
It did not seem anything like happiness in his voice .
It was impossible to each other, but she could sense Xiang Jinxi walking past her and into the distance .
The stars grew brighter above her . She looked at the cake on the table and the empty seat opposite her . After a long sigh, she took her bag and left .
On the way home, she made a call to Huo Yunting .
“Are you at the hospital now?”
His lazy voice came from the speaker . “Go home and rest . I am fine, so don’t come by . ”
“Are you really alright?”
“Are you hoping otherwise?”
“Of course not!”
“Don’t speak on the phone while driving . I’m hanging up now . ” Huo Yunting cut her off .
Lu Zhaoyang heard the dial tone and put her phone away .

She did not know what happened with Qiu Ran, but it was definitely nothing good .
He must be feeling under the weather at the moment . It may be better to stop bothering him .
Lu Zhaoyang returned to her apartment . She went straight to her unit, unaware of Lu Bai watching her after taking out the trash .
He pursed his lips and looked vexed .
Lu Bai went back to his own apartment . He dragged the perpetually idle Wen He out of bed and switched on his laptop .
Wen He was in a daze and was about to complain when someone’s face appeared on the monitor .
“Hey, Bai . ” It was Chen Jiu .

Wen He heard the familiar voice and immediately sat down obediently beside Lu Bai . He was excited to see his friend who had narrowly escaped death .
“Chen Jiu! Where the hell are you now?”
“I’m in the city, but I will not be meeting up with you guys yet so as to keep you safe . My dear He He, do you miss me?” Chen Jiu smiled teasingly at her .
“Of course, I miss you to death! I never imagined that you would survive!” Wen He slapped Lu Bai on the shoulder in excitement .
Chen Jiu smiled and said, “Huo Chen seems to have returned to the military base . I thought that I’d be free once he is gone, but that Huo Yunting offered a city-wide bounty on me . I’ve been hiding in this tiny hostel for the past two days, do you think you can lend a hand?”
“My arm is injured . ” Wen He immediately offered an excuse .
“I’m just a weakling who can’t even help myself . ” Lu Bai demeaned himself without shame .

“Don’t give me that . Aren’t you good friends with Huo Yunting and the lady? I promise you I won’t kill them, but you have to guarantee my survival!”
Chen Jiu was frustrated at his current situation .
He should have stayed focused and went straight to Huo Chen!
Huo Yunting turned out to be even worse to deal with than Huo Chen .
“You started this . It’s none of my business . ”
Lu Bai delivered the words casually, but his ears were already blushing .
When Wen He heard that Lu Bai was on good terms with Huo Yunting, she turned her full attention toward him .
“You’re too cold, Bai . How can you just leave me to die? Are you still…” Wen He slammed the laptop shut before Chen Jiu could finish .
