Chapter 1108
In the evening, at the Bai family.
Bai Lianghe changed her clothes and checked her makeup in the mirror.
Bai Mu stood to the side, looking at her exquisite and beautiful daughter, her eyes full of love and joy.
"You look beautiful, baby."
"Really? Then I'll wear this?" Bai Lianghe asked.
Bai Mu nodded, glanced at the box by the door of her daughter's room, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "I saw you received birthday gifts a week in advance? You usually can't even remember your own birthday. Besides your father and me, who else would remember your birthday in advance and send you gifts?"
"Friends," Bai Lianghe said casually: "You know, since joining the team, I've made several new friends."
Bai Mu looked at her daughter with deep meaning and said it straight out: "It's Shen Xing, right?"
Bai Lianghe's movements paused, and she looked at her mother, finally having to admit: "Yes, but everyone remembers it. They've been planning my birthday since last month. Otherwise, didn't you and Dad celebrate it for me in previous years?"
That was indeed a fact.
Bai Lianghe's personality wasn't actually introverted, she just liked to enjoy her private space on weekdays. Her favorite thing was to find an internet cafe in her spare time, buy a bunch of snacks, and curl up in a corner to play games.
So before joining the team, she didn't have any close friends.
But now it was clearly different. She had a good relationship with the team members. Even without Shen Xing, the captain, organizing things, she would privately make appointments with other girls to go shopping or watch movies.
Seeing that their daughter was slowly having more friends, Bai Fu and Bai Mu were naturally happy for her.
"Good, having friends help you celebrate your birthday, your father and I are both happy for you," Bai Mu said with a smile: "It actually let your father and me have a break. In the past, every time your birthday was approaching, your father would start worrying a month in advance, wanting to create a different surprise for you."
"This time is good. Just two days ago you said you would spend it with friends this year, and your father immediately arranged a business trip. But your mother and I will still help you with the expenses for your gathering with friends."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lianghe stepped forward and hugged her mother: "Thank you and Dad, I'm so old and you still treat me like a princess. But Dad isn't here today, why don't you come with me? You know Shen Xing, and Mujin has been to our house, you've seen her too."
When Bai Mu heard this, she was so scared she hurriedly pushed her daughter away: "No, your father is gone, and I have arranged my own affairs. I'm going singing with your Auntie Jin and the others tonight, so you don't need to worry about me."
"I see the time is about right, will Shen Xing come to pick you up later?"
Although her daughter hadn't said it explicitly, as parents, they had long had a vague feeling that there must be some other situation between their daughter and Shen Xing.
Bai Lianghe pouted: "I'll go myself, he didn't say he was coming."
As she spoke, she picked up her bag: "Then I'm leaving, Mom."
"Alright, happy birthday, baby, have fun."
Bai Lianghe went out and hailed a taxi to the destination of today's gathering, the newly reopened "Yunshang Tiangong."
As soon as she stepped into the lobby here, Bai Lianghe instantly fell in love with the new decoration, because it was decorated in her favorite blue color.
This was the place Shen Xing chose. She didn't know if he had chosen it intentionally.
"Miss, this is the place."
The waiter led Bai Lianghe to the door of the private room and left after a polite reminder.
Bai Lianghe stood outside the door and was actually a bit excited for a moment. She leaned in to listen to the movement inside, because every time the team gathered, everyone would chatter non-stop, which was very lively.
It was just that she didn't know if the soundproofing of this door was too good, but even when she leaned close, she couldn't hear any sound inside.
In her confusion, she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.
Then, she widened her eyes in surprise.
The private room had been carefully decorated with flowers, balloons, a cake, and a light board with her name on it. Although it wasn't the first time she had experienced such a scene, having friends celebrate her birthday so thoughtfully still left Bai Lianghe's heart unable to stop being moved.
She took two steps forward, and the door behind her suddenly closed by itself, scaring her into turning her head hurriedly, only to find Shen Xing standing behind her.
Shen Xing pursed his lips, looking at her with a slightly red handsome face. At this moment, his heartbeat was also unusually fast.
Bai Lianghe blinked in surprise, but didn't see anyone other than Shen Xing, yet the atmosphere emerged with a hint of ambiguity at this instant.
She wasn't stupid; she could vaguely feel that all of this was intentionally designed by Shen Xing, so she just kept looking at him.
Shen Xing clenched his fists slightly, his palms sweating from nervousness, but his throat was tightening fiercely, and he couldn't even make a sound when calling her name.
"You..."
Seeing him not speaking for a long time, Bai Lianghe couldn't help but speak first: "What's wrong with you?"
"Bai Bai..."
Shen Xing squeezed out two words with effort, swallowing his saliva involuntarily, while Sang Hui's voice surfaced in his mind at this moment.
"I think Bai Lianghe has a very straightforward personality. If you want to confess, you don't need any roundabout things. Just be sincere in your tone, look into her eyes, and say you like her, that's enough."
Bai Lianghe couldn't wait for the following words and furrowed her brows anxiously.
Just as her patience was about to run out, Shen Xing looked into her eyes and blurted out: "I like you!"
Bai Lianghe:!!!!
And when these four words were finally spoken, Shen Xing's throat seemed to have its seal removed: "I like you, Bai Bai, I liked you a long, long time ago. I like you teasing me, and I like you protecting me. Your voice, your expression, everything about you, I like it all. When I'm alone, I think of you, and when I'm with you, I can't help but secretly look at you."
"But I never dared to tell you, I was afraid you wouldn't like me..."
"I like you."
Bai Lianghe's voice rang out abruptly, faint, but very firm.
Shen Xing's confession, which he hadn't finished, stuck for a moment, his eyes turning from hesitant shock to joyful brightness.
The corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably, and a huge smile spread across his face: "You, what did you say?"
Bai Lianghe's expression softened, and she also smiled: "I said, I like you too."
At this moment, looking at Bai Lianghe in front of him, Shen Xing could no longer control the intense emotions suppressed in his heart, stepped forward, and hugged Bai Lianghe.
Bai Lianghe lowered her eyes, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and also raised her hands to wrap around Shen Xing's waist.
"I really regret not saying it sooner," Shen Xing said in a low voice.
Bai Lianghe said: "Everything is just right."
Who knew that the next second, the private room door was suddenly pushed open, and others rushed in screaming, scaring Bai Lianghe into pushing Shen Xing away.
