I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 296 What...is she lacking most?

"Birthday? What's going on?"

"Her birthday...it's right after military training ends. This is the first birthday I'll be able to celebrate with her, and I don't know what to do."

That evening, Zhou Heng took Yin Mengran, Tang Zhi, and Yu Lingxue out for dinner.

After they finished eating and were chatting, Yin Mengran went to the restroom.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Heng told Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue about it: three days after the military training ended, it would be Yin Mengran's birthday...

Tang Zhi was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is it a birthday? Isn't it our one-year anniversary?"

"That's in about ten days...her birthday is earlier."

Zhou Heng is currently very worried about this matter. After all, a birthday celebration definitely needs to be special, but he has no idea how to plan the itinerary or what gift to give...

Since this was the first time celebrating Yin Mengran's birthday, a gift I bought casually wouldn't do. No matter how expensive it was, it had to be meaningful...

Last year, when Yin Mengran celebrated her birthday, he hadn't brought her home yet. She was also going through the most devastating blow of her life at the time, so she didn't care about birthdays at all, and they just missed each other.

But this year is different; he has the chance to celebrate Yin Mengran's birthday...

So he started thinking about how to celebrate his birthday a long time ago, but he still hasn't figured it out...

"So I'd like to ask you guys for some ideas. What do you think... I can do to have a good birthday?"

Zhou Heng looked at Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue. He could only ask for their opinions now. Once Yin Mengran returned, there would be no chance.

Yu Lingxue thought for a moment and then said, "How about you go on a trip? Go have some fun?"

"This probably won't work, right? We don't have that much time to go out and have fun..."

Zhou Heng had already thought about this, but it was clearly difficult to implement. Their studies were already very demanding, leaving them little time for play.

We only have one day to let them play, so this idea is definitely not feasible.

Just then, Tang Zhi slowly spoke up, saying:

"No... is it really that complicated?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Heng looked up at Tang Zhi, wondering what she meant by those words...

Tang Zhi tapped the table and said:

"Think about what Yin Mengran needs most. You probably think that Yin Mengran doesn't need anything right now, but think about it carefully, what... is she lacking the most?"

"what!"

Tang Zhi's words instantly made Zhou Heng realize something, his eyes lit up, and he slapped the table!

"I understand!"

"Clap!" The two even gave each other a high five, leaving Yu Lingxue, who was standing to the side, completely stunned...

"What...what?"

"What are you doing?" Just then, Yin Mengran returned from the restroom and saw Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi giving each other a high five, looking somewhat puzzled...

"Ah...it's nothing, we just talked about something and reached an agreement..."

Zhou Heng chuckled and made up a random excuse to brush it off.

Yin Mengran didn't ask any further questions. She knew that Zhou Heng and Tang Zhi often talked about things she couldn't understand... It was like a tacit understanding between the two of them.

After a while, they went back, and the discussion ended there.

However, Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue still had things to discuss...

After returning to their dorm room, the two began to discuss the topic they had just discussed:

"What should I do? It's Yin Mengran's birthday, what should I get her?"

Tang Zhi helped Zhou Heng solve his problem, but hers was actually more difficult; deciding on a gift was the biggest challenge...

"Well... it's really hard to say... I feel like I should be able to handle it pretty well, but you being her best friend... it's definitely not a good idea."

Hearing their discussion, Jing Yu quickly came over to join in and asked:

"Huh? Is it Yin Mengran's birthday soon? When is it?"

Although Jingyu had only known them for a short time, she still hoped to get along well with Yin Mengran, so she definitely couldn't miss her birthday.

"We only found out three days later..."

After Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran returned, Yin Mengran began packing her things. She came to Zhou Heng and said:

"Honey, take off your clothes, I'll take them to wash."

"okay."

Zhou Heng obediently took off his clothes and handed them to Yin Mengran.

Then, while Yin Mengran was doing laundry, he took out his phone, edited a message, and sent it out...

Three days later, the college students' military training came to an end, and after a weekend of rest, classes would begin.

Zhou Heng opened his eyes very early in the morning; his biological clock seemed to know that today was a very important day.

So I woke him up very early.

After Zhou Heng opened his eyes, he looked to his side and found that Yin Mengran, who was lying in his arms, was still fast asleep and had not woken up.

Zhou Heng didn't rush to get up, but let Yin Mengran sleep a little longer, since a week of military training was quite tiring.

After lying there for about twenty minutes, Yin Mengran slowly opened her eyes and yawned...

"Haha—, good morning... Honey, why are you awake so early?"

Yin Mengran rubbed her eyes and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Uh, because I went to bed early last night."

Zhou Heng scratched his head and answered in a low voice.

He wanted to see how Yin Mengran would react, after all, it was her birthday today... surely she would have some kind of reaction, right?

He wanted to pretend he didn't remember it was her birthday, to make her a little disappointed, and then pull a surprise...

But judging from Yin Mengran's reaction now, it seems like she doesn't even remember that today is her birthday.

"Hmm...okay, I'll get up now. What do you want for breakfast? I'll go out and buy it for you..."

Yin Mengran sat up, straightened her slightly disheveled nightgown, and then got out of bed.

Yin Mengran turned on the bathroom light, went in, picked up the toiletries from the sink, and looked up at herself in the mirror...

"Eh?"

That one glance froze Yin Mengran in place...

She saw something behind her in the mirror...

Yin Mengran suddenly turned around and looked behind her. There was a large bouquet of flowers, nine hundred and ninety-nine blooms.

Next to the flowers were several gift boxes, of various sizes, all exquisitely decorated.

"!!"

Yin Mengran covered her mouth, her face filled with surprise and disbelief, her eyes wide open...

Just then, a pair of arms embraced her from behind, and Zhou Heng's voice whispered in her ear:

"Let's start your birthday celebration with flowers first thing this morning, my dear wife, happy birthday..."
