"Chu Chu, happiness can come slower, come later, as long as it's real, as long as it lasts."
Gu Lanshan silently nodded and said, "Mhm."
Sheng Shi relaxed his brows, smiled, and said, "Chu Chu, don't make me wait too long, okay?"
Gu Lanshan nodded again.
Sheng Shi's soft laughter sounded: "Actually, a longer wait is alright."
Gu Lanshan's head gently rubbed against his chest, feeling his newfound energy, she quickly changed the subject. She wanted to find something hopeful to divert his attention, to make him forget the discomfort and wait for rescue.
"Shi'er, now that New Year's Day has passed, my birthday will be soon, do you remember?"
"I remember."
How could he forget her birthday?
"Then have you prepared a birthday gift for me?"
"I have, but I don't know if you'll like it. What do you want?"
Gu Lanshan thought for a moment and replied, "Whatever you give, I'll like."
"Hehe." Sheng Shi was in a really good mood, laughing a little.
