Hao Dawei remained silent.
Lanzi forcefully pulled his hands away from his face, and seeing his face covered in tears, she couldn't help but hug him. But she sensed that he was merely not rejecting her; he didn't react impulsively like she had. After hugging him for a while, even she felt tired and the romance had faded, so she had to let him go.
She asked him:
When is your birthday?
He didn't speak.
She got angry, slammed the door shut, and left alone.
He hurriedly chased after her, grabbing her clothes and refusing to let go:
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, tomorrow, no! The day after tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow! It turns out, it turns out I just wanted to be alone..."
"Oh, okay then. You can spend the day after tomorrow alone. I can go find another place!"
Hao Dawei was speechless for a long time before finally muttering:
"I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about what I originally planned to do."
"And now? You still want to be alone, don't you?"
"No, no! Now, now, if you don't mind, I'd like you to spend my last birthday with me. If you don't want to, then forget it."
What gift would you like from me?
"A gift? I don't want one."
Lanzi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then looked at him mischievously and said:
"Hao Dawei, maybe then I can give you a gift that will satisfy you the most, surprise you the most, and that you will love the most!"
"I never thought about it, I never thought about it..." he seemed to be talking to himself, as if he were muttering in his sleep.
These past two days, besides taking care of Hao Dawei, Lanzi has been wandering around the market and shopping mall, trying to find him a gift that can surprise him.
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and she found nothing.
That afternoon, she returned to the guesthouse, but when she got to the door, she was too lazy to go up, because she had come up empty-handed again, so she sat on the side of the road and pondered her thoughts.
In the distance, on that lawn—the very lawn where Hao Dawei had collapsed after running away—a man and a woman were making out intimately. Lanzi thought, "In broad daylight, don't they even try to hide it? Maybe they're just desperate because they have nowhere else to go?" She couldn't help but laugh. "Come find me! I'll lend you a room!" Thinking this, she exclaimed, "Ah! I've got it! The best birthday present ever! It must be the most sincere and beautiful gift in the world!"
Lanzi jumped up and ran into the store, buying candles, wrapping paper, red ribbons...
