The strawberry cake was sweet, and Lin Wei sat at the table watching He Tang eat.
He Tang hung her head, the salty tears mixing with the cake's sweetness, not knowing the flavor that settled in her stomach.
Lin Wei was at a loss, unsure what to say, always thinking it was something he had done wrong that had caused He Tang to cry continuously.
The cake was small, but He Tang only ate half of it, pushing the remaining half towards Lin Wei.
Just like when they were kids, everything delicious was shared equally between them.
Lin Wei took the fork He Tang passed to him, not minding at all, and finished off the remaining half.
When he looked up again, he found He Tang was no longer crying and was staring at him intently.
Lin Wei felt a bit embarrassed and pulled out two tissues from the box on the dinner table to wipe his mouth.
He said, "I drank tonight, do I smell like alcohol?"
He Tang shook her head and said, "Lin Wei, thank you for giving me such an unforgettable birthday."
