The first person to react was You Yiren.
She watched the three of them walk in, her lips trembling. Her gaze fell to the gift box in Han Xu's hands, and a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, followed by a surge of anticipation.
'...Is this for me?'
'They remembered my birthday, didn't they?'
She didn't say these words aloud, but a warm current was already flowing through her, soothing her somber heart.
Sure enough, the next second, the stunning beauty spoke with a light laugh. "It's your birthday today. Cheer up a bit, okay?"
Her charming voice carried a unique, languid casualness, yet it held a warmth that was impossible to ignore.
Han Xu and You Hongdou, standing to the side, quickly nodded as well. They stared intently at You Yiren, as if afraid she would start crying. You Hongdou, in particular, was tense all over, his brow furrowed as he watched her without blinking.
