Her best friend Liu Sijia’s birthday party was grandly organized and held in a brightly lit villa. The young lady clasped her hands together, her radiant cheeks slightly flushed. “I hope he comes.”

All the surrounding classmates knew who she was talking about, and responded with a series of ‘oh’s. Whether or not he would come depended entirely on his mood.

Midway through the party, Ban Sheng walked in carrying a cake, extinguished his cigarette, and said, “Happy birthday.”

The young lady was overjoyed and ordered the candles to be relit so she could make another wish.

Afterward, everyone was mingling and having fun, while Lin Weixia went to the kitchen alone to help by grabbing some fruit. When she turned around, she nearly bumped into someone’s chest and instinctively stepped back.

Ban Sheng had one hand in his pocket as he slowly approached, his shadow falling over her. When he saw the cream on the tip of her nose, his gaze shifted slightly, and he looked at her.

“What are you so flustered about?”

“What do you want to become?”

“A shark.”

He paused for a moment, then asked, “What about you?”

“A fish tank.”

Everyone knows that a shark and a fish tank can never be together.
