I'm Sorry, I'm Late

When Wen Yao heard those words, her delicate frame suddenly froze, and she responded coldly, "So, that was the last time."

It had been her birthday that day, and she had waited for him in vain. She had blown out the candles, eaten the cake, and wished herself a happy birthday all alone. Later, she had cried, cried until she was exhausted, and then fallen asleep. She had no idea he had come back.

He looked at her, his eyes focused only on her. "I came back before midnight. I'm sorry I was late. I didn't get the chance to wish you a happy birthday."

Wen Yao lowered her gaze, and her long, curled lashes fluttered slightly. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

Recalling the past, she couldn't deny that there was a twinge of emotion. Her heart felt a pang, and her nose even began to sting, but she was no longer the same Wen Yao as before, and she wouldn't be foolish enough to shed tears.
