During the Winter Solstice Festival, it is time for families to reunite, eat hot pot and dumplings together.

But Qi Kunlun was alone and faced the cold wind to a cake shop.

Every year on the winter solstice, he would go to a national chain dim sum restaurant called "Winter Solstice" to buy a cake, then finish it silently, and then leave silently.

There is a reason for his habit. He vaguely remembered that when he was still very young, every time the winter solstice, a very beautiful woman would come and give him a chocolate cake.

There was also a small jade pendant on his body. This jade pendant has been around since he could remember, with two words engraved on it - the Winter Solstice.

He still remembered that whenever the woman watched him eat cake, she would smile and say, "Winter Solstice." I don't know if she was calling his name or telling this festival that had been passed down for thousands of years.

But, I don’t know when the year the beautiful woman no longer appeared. So Qi Kunlun had to go to the dim sum shop and buy a cake that had never changed its taste. But at that time, his mood when eating the cake had changed, and there was no such sweetness or expectation anymore.

There are no customers in the dim sum shop, and they have already gone home to celebrate the festival with their families. Only on a table in the corner is a chocolate cake the size of a palm.

Then, he saw a familiar woman walking to the table and sitting down. The woman also saw him, and she looked slightly surprised and then felt relieved.

Cai Qingwan.

"Since you have met, then sit down." Cai Qingwan looked at Qi Kunlun and said in a slightly hoarse tone. Her face looked like jade, but she showed the haggardness that Qi Kunlun had never seen before.

Qi Kunlun sat down on the sofa in front of her expressionlessly. Cai Qingwan slowly pushed the cake to him and then smiled.

Qi Kunlun silently picked up the spoon she handed over, cut off a corner of the cake, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. The feeling in his heart was in a mess at this moment.

"You..." Qi Kunlun finally couldn't help but speak.

"How could I be here?" Cai Qingwan held her cheek and smiled. Although she was haggard, her beauty was still hard to hide.

Qi Kunlun lowered his head, said nothing, and cut off another piece of cake and put it into his mouth.

Cai Qingwan smiled slightly, watched him eat the cake, and said, "Since that winter solstice, I have come to this store for a walk almost every year, lit a small cake like this, and then lit a dozen candles, adding one every year. Whether or not to eat it depends on the mood..."

Qi Kunlun held his left hand on the table and clenched it a little.

Cai Qingwan rubbed her eyebrows, unable to hide her tiredness, and said, "The Winter Solstice should be your real birthday, right? It's not June 18th."

"Maybe." Qi Kunlun said lightly, slowly cut a small piece of cake with a spoon and put it into his mouth, and slowly savored it.

Cai Qingwan said: "I remember when you went to the pastry shop that year, you ate cakes... In the first year, we looked at each other through the window; in the second year, I accompanied you to eat; in the third year, I couldn't eat it alone. I don't know your past, but I know that the day of the winter solstice should have a very important meaning to you. Today, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Qi Kunlun smiled as if he was ridiculed. He was not a Buddha. How could he forget some things? I met Cai Qingwan here today. I don’t know how to describe his mood.

"I beg you, let Yin Yi leave Fengcheng!" Cai Qingwan suddenly said hoarsely, covering her eyes with her hands.

"Why?" Qi Kunlun raised his head, looked at her, and asked slowly.

Cai Qingwan just shook her head and said, "Don't ask, just think I beg you. I have never asked you for anything. I just want you to promise me and let her leave Fengcheng..."

Qi Kunlun looked deeply at Cai Qingwan who covered her eyes with his hands. He could feel that she was crying, but he didn't want him to see it.

"She is in Fengcheng, there will be danger." Cai Qingwan said with difficulty, "You must let her leave Fengcheng. If she dies in Fengcheng, it will also be a big impact on you!"
