After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 63 Confession

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

The living room lights were turned off. The birthday candles were lit.

Hua Meimei sang "Happy Birthday" to Fei Chenfeng.

In the warm candlelight, Fei Chenfeng's eyes were faintly glistening with tears.

Celebrating my birthday with Hua Meimei for the first time made up for a regret in Fei Chenfeng's youth.

"Happy birthday, Chenfeng." Hua Meimei presented Fei Chenfeng with the gift she had prepared.

"Thank you, Meimei." Fei Chenfeng took the gift and placed it on the table.

They blew out the candles together, and Fei Chenfeng turned the lights back on.

"I'd like to see what gift you sent." Fei Chenfeng gently opened the package.

It was a very elegant dark blue tie.

The fabric is exquisite. The color is like the starry night sky.

"I've never given a gift to a boy before, so I have no experience. Please don't be offended," Hua Meimei said with an embarrassed smile.

Fei Chenfeng's slender fingers stroked the tie; he would like anything she gave him.

However, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Because he is a doctor, he usually wears a white coat to work and more casual clothes after get off work.

I only wear a suit when attending banquets.

He rarely wears this tie, maybe only a few times a year.

He knew it was a gift that Berry hadn't put much thought into choosing.

"Meimei, you've given gifts to boys before." He put away his tie and looked at her quietly.

She blinked, feeling a little flustered. She explained that she hadn't given any gifts to the boys as Zhang Zhenzhen.

The original owner, Hua Meimei, had given it to him once.

It happened during my third year of junior high school.

In the winter of his third year of junior high, it was Fei Chenfeng's birthday, and Hua Meimei secretly put a gift in his desk drawer.

It is a kabalin.

Inside the gift box, Berry also put a small card.

—Your voice is so beautiful, like notes played on a piano.

He said, "You gave me a kabalin."

Hua Meimei nodded: "The gift I gave back then wasn't signed, so how did you know it was from me?"

“The words you wrote on the card gave you away; I recognize your handwriting.”

Because back when she had a crush on him, he also had a crush on her, so naturally he would pay attention to many things about her, including her handwriting.

"Since you recognized me, why didn't you ask me about it back then?"

He smiled helplessly, "You were always avoiding people back then, and you were very afraid to talk to people. If I went to you to confirm, I was afraid I would scare you."

He knew the pain of unrequited love and the shyness of not being able to express it.

So I silently accepted the gift and have treasured it ever since.

Hua Meimei hummed in agreement and fell silent. She could understand the bitterness of unrequited love.

I was also very touched by Fei Chenfeng's silent protection of Hua Meimei back then.

If the original owner were still alive, their reunion would likely rekindle their love.

Although she wasn't the real Hua Meimei, the wildly beating heart inside her and the feeling of having loved would still resonate with her soul.

She would even have moments when she vaguely felt that she might also like Fei Chenfeng.

He's so gentle, so wonderful, so outstanding, and so handsome; it's hard not to be moved.

But she knew that those were the memories and feelings of the original owner of the body, not hers.

Hua Meimei said, "You were the school heartthrob back then, and so many girls had a crush on you. I was just one of the inconspicuous ones."

I don't know who spread the word about her crush on him, otherwise this secret would have remained buried in Hua Meimei's heart for a very long time.

He shook his head and looked at her earnestly: "Meimei, I don't care what the other girls are like. Back then, I only paid attention to you. You were the only one I saw. You weren't just any ordinary girl. You were my whole world when I first fell in love."

"..." Flower Berry was stunned.

Is he confessing his feelings?

So he had a crush on Hua Meimei when he was young?

That means Meimei's crush back then wasn't without result; the person she had a crush on also liked him.

If only she were still alive to hear Fei Chenfeng's words.

Her nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Meimei, why are you crying?" Fei Chenfeng felt a pang of heartache when he saw her tears falling. He stood up, walked to her side, and gently wiped away her tears with a tissue.

Feeling embarrassed, she took the tissue from his hand and wiped herself.

"I'm just so touched." To ease the awkwardness, she grinned.

"Meimei is a sensitive girl." He half-squatted down, looked up at her, and smiled gently.

"If only you hadn't married Luo Jiuyu. I'm still a step too late in coming back."

He said it in a leisurely tone.

His words were filled with endless sorrow.

Hua Meimei paused in wiping away her tears and looked down at him.

Life is full of missed opportunities and regrets; no one can escape them.

"I'm sorry..." She didn't know why, but she felt a deep sense of guilt.

She wished that the original Hua Meimei was still alive, instead of Zhang Zhenzhen usurping her place.

She was affected by his emotions and also felt very sad.

"Why should I say sorry?" Fei Chenfeng asked gently.

"I...I'm afraid I can't like you anymore..." Flower Berry said softly.

Her eyes were red.

His eyes were tinged with sadness, and he remained silent for a long time.

Hua Meimei gripped the tissue in her hand even tighter. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Outside the window, night deepened, and the city's neon lights flickered, but they couldn't penetrate the room filled with sorrow.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze gentle and deep. "Meimei didn't do anything wrong to me. It was my fault. When you liked me the most, I didn't have the courage to confess my feelings. By the time I came back to you, you were already married."

Hua Meimei stood there for a while, her mind blank.

Tears were about to fall, but he lowered his head and let them flow, not wanting her to see them.

"Chen Feng...you deserve better, you shouldn't waste your time on me." She turned her head away, feeling very sad.

"Don't worry, it's fine for us to remain friends until you get divorced. I won't cause you any trouble." Fei Chenfeng wiped away his tears with his sleeve and forced a smile.

Hua Meimei turned back to look at him; she knew he had just been crying.

His eyes were truly beautiful. When they first met again, he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which she later learned were just for decoration; he wasn't actually nearsighted.

She wanted to say something to comfort him, but the door was pushed open.

They were all stunned; the door wasn't locked from the inside.

People outside usually knock on the door if they need something, but this person was fearless and opened the door directly.

Luo Jiuyu had only been trying it out, but unexpectedly, the door actually opened. If he had knocked, the person who would have opened the door would definitely have been the homeowner, Fei Chenfeng, and he was afraid he wouldn't have been able to resist throwing a punch at him.

He stood at the doorway, watching Fei Chenfeng squatting in front of Hua Meimei, the atmosphere between the two was very ambiguous.

"Meimei, come home with me," Luo Jiuyu said, almost through gritted teeth.
