"Thank you!"
Lin Xuanzi looked at her expectantly, "If you could express it with actions, that would be even better."
"Huh?"
Mai Xiaomai looked at him and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Lin Xuanzi pointed to his cheek, "Give me a kiss, that would be the best birthday gift in the world."
"Hehe."
Mai Xiaomai laughed awkwardly, "Let's skip that. I'll make you a bowl of longevity noodles later, okay? I've never made noodles for anyone else; you're the lucky one who gets to eat it. Eating them will give you a long, healthy life."
"But you can't live a long life with me. Why would I want to live so long? I just want one kiss from you, please?"
Lin Xuanzi's gaze burned intensely as he looked at her.
Mai Xiaomai's face turned slightly red, and she moved a bit further away from him, cleared her throat, "We're both adults, not in a romantic relationship or anything; this isn't good."
