She is soft on my heart

Chapter 155 Surprise
Li Xingshen stayed where he was, a little stunned.

Lu Ling is cheating on her, and why did he trick her into the club at night
It was about an hour before zero o'clock, that is, before her birthday, and now she ran to find Jiang Cong without any consideration because of the sudden phone call, and stood here.

After the thinking is in place, the purpose is not difficult to guess.

Li Xingshen's forehead was sweating a little, she grabbed the corner of her clothes with the hand hanging by her side, her breathing hadn't calmed down yet, her heartbeat accelerated just now because of nervousness, it was even worse now.

The door slowly opened towards her, but Jiang Cong did not appear at the door. She saw that the lights in the room were not turned on, and everything was immersed in dim light. The air conditioner was on, and cool air with a comfortable temperature wafted out.

The surroundings are quiet, and the mixed noises downstairs can be faintly heard.

Li Xingshen didn't move, and stood in a daze for a long time before he walked in without knowing what kind of mood he was in.

It was as if half of the mask of surprise had been lifted, she kept looking forward to it, but before Jiang Cong appeared, she was a little confused and nervous.

The further she walked in, the weaker the light source at the door, she couldn't see her surroundings clearly, so she stopped. Even though she had already guessed something, she was still in a passive position.

The room was dim, and she unconsciously breathed lightly. After waiting for a while, she hesitated and whispered, ".Jiang Cong?"

The voices were scattered in the silence, but no one appeared.

But at this moment, the door behind him suddenly closed with a bang. After this very clear sound, the surrounding area became darker and quieter.

Li Xingshen was turning her eyes to listen to the movement, and was slightly taken aback by the back. She turned her head to look, but before she could see if there was anyone, a light yellow light suddenly lit up in the dark.

She subconsciously turned her head to look for the source of the light, and it was precisely because of this faint light that she could discern where she was standing at the moment.

She had already walked to the small living room, and the light came from the small warm light strip on the coffee table two steps away from her.

Surrounded by several circles of thin light strips, she could see clearly that it was a strawberry cake.

Li Xingchen stared at that place, forgetting to breathe or blink for a moment, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, like thousands of threads, entangled in her heart in an instant.

The footsteps sounded lightly and stopped behind her, Li Xingchen couldn't react, his light and cold smell came over, and the boy gently embraced her from behind.

Clearly feeling the temperature on his body, Li Xingchen blinked his eyes, felt back, his heart beat for a beat, and then seemed to press the accelerator.

Jiang Cong lowered his eyes and bowed his body slightly, his face was close to the side of her head, his thin lips touched her ear, and he paused for two seconds.

Afterwards, his deep and slow voice fell into his ears, softly, "Happy birthday, baby."

Li Xingchen froze for a long time, then turned around and plunged into his arms.

Jiang Cong laughed softly.

He wrapped one arm tightly around her shoulders, and lightly placed the other on her head. This was his habitual posture for hugging her, which made Li Xingchen feel a strong sense of security.

It seems that his whole world is being protected by him.

So the longer the two of them got along, the more Li Xingchen became a child who relied on him as he called out, and sometimes he would get used to his temper.

The little girl hugged him quietly for a while, sniffed, and there was a hint of grievance in her warm voice: "I was scared to death when I just came..."

Jiang Cong bowed his head, with an obvious smile, "Huh?"

"Ru Ling told me that you fell from the third floor..."

Jiang Cong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, he didn't expect it, "Did they trick you into coming here?"

Li Xingshen gave an aggrieved "hmm".

In fact, it doesn't matter how she lied, but somehow, she just wanted to confide this little emotion to him, her worries, her fears.

Jiang Cong patted the hand on her shoulder a few times, and kept smiling in his gentle and coaxing words, "It scared our children, let them pay attention next time."

He cared about the time, "Would you like to light a candle and make a wish first?"

Li Xing let out a muffled "hmm" and withdrew from his arms.

They sat cross-legged between the sofa and the coffee table, and the soft yellow and warm subtle halos were scattered and reflected on the eyebrows and eyes of the two of them.

Jiang Cong inserted the candles with numbers 1 and 8 in the middle of the cake, lit them with a lighter, and two clusters of small flames sprang up.

He touched her head, "Make a wish."

Facing the strawberry cake with burning candles, Li Xingchen clasped his palms, put them on his chin, and closed his eyes.

After about five seconds, she opened her eyes.

She didn't blow out the candles immediately, but looked at Jiang Cong and said, "Jiang Cong, let's blow it together."

Jiang Cong smiled and said yes.

With their heads close together, the two exhaled and blew out the candle.

Jiang Cong went to turn on the light.

The room was brightly lit, Li Xingchen raised her hand to cover her eyes, and waited a few seconds to get used to it. When she took her hand away, her eyes fell on a red velvet box next to the cake.

Seeing that the little girl saw it, Jiang Cong came over and sat down next to her, resting his arms on the coffee table casually, turning his body slightly, "Open it and see if you like it."

Li Xing was taken aback, "Birthday present?"

Jiang Cong slightly raised his eyebrows, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Yeah."

Li Xingchen tilted his head and spoke slowly: "Didn't you take me to get my ears pierced?"

In her mind, this is a very good birthday present.

"Why are you so easy to raise?" Jiang Cong laughed, pinching the tip of her nose, "That's not counting, this is."

Li Xingchen also smiled, reached out and took the box, it was square, it looked a bit like a diamond ring box.

She knew it definitely couldn't be a diamond ring, but thinking of this, thinking of maybe one day, her face became a little hot, and she lowered her head as if covering up.

The box was opened, and inside was a pair of silver stud earrings, one moon, one star, two small ones, inlaid with broken diamonds, simple and ingenious, shimmering under the lamp.

"It's so beautiful." The smile on the corner of Li Xingchen's mouth involuntarily deepened, and he touched it lightly with his fingertips, being extra careful, as if he was afraid of breaking them.

From seeing the little girl's reaction, Jiang knew that he had chosen the right gift. Seeing her smiling happily made him very satisfied.

Seeing the untouched cake, Jiang Cong turned on his phone and checked the time. It was past eleven o'clock.

He pulled the cake, removed the candles, and took a plate for her to cut.

"It's late, eat the cake quickly, and I will try to take you home before twelve o'clock."

In the scheduled plan, the time to trick the little girl was earlier, but the accident was that the cake arrived late, so it was delayed until now.

Li Xingchen didn't close the box, put it on the side of the tea table and looked at it a few more times, it was obvious that she liked this pair of earrings very much.

She bent her legs, straightened the hem of her skirt, folded her arms on her knees, and watched Jiang Cong cut out a small piece of cake for her, decorated with bright red and delicious strawberries.

She said softly, "Don't worry."

Jiang Cong cut a piece neatly, put it in front of her, and said "huh?" to her.

Li Xingchen raised his eyes to look at him, and pursed his lower lip, "I told my brother on the way here, if you fall badly... I will stay and take care of you."
