Anthea sat on the marble table, as docile as a little kitten.
She lifted her small face and allowed her master to do as he pleased.
"Happy birthday, Anthea."
The corners of Anthea's mouth curled up sweetly.
At the same time as his deep voice fell, she felt a sudden chill on her collarbone.
Anthea's eyelashes drooped. She saw a thin platinum necklace around her neck, and a small ruby of red blood hung from it. Taking a closer look, she found that it was in the shape of a red bean, and it looked exactly like a red bean.
If she had not felt the coolness of jade, she would have thought that it was the real Red Bean.
Anthea raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
Adam placed his palm on the back of her neck, and his black eyes were deep. "Red Bean is born in the Southland, and it represents lovesickness."
Birthday present...
She thought his appearance was the best birthday gift and he even cooked birthday noodles. She didn't expect that he had prepared another gift!
She repeated his words in her heart.
She understood his intentions.
Because of his identity, he often had to stay in the army. Therefore, the two of them did not have much chance to meet, so he gave her a bean of lovesickness. Lovesickness was the same meaning as Anthea and there was also his love embedded in this gift.
Anthea held the small red bean in her hand and looked at him incredibly, "Adam, when did you prepare it?"
Adam said, "At the middle of October, on a little task aboard. I chose the raw jade there and made it into what it looks like now after returning home."
Anthea calculated silently in her heart.
In the middle of October, the two of them just finished their long holiday, and there were nearly three months before her birthday. He had prepared so early that it meant that he always put her in his heart all the time.
Anthea sniffed, and the rims of her eyes were hot.
She was moved again!
Adam asked her, "Do you like it?"
Anthea nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I like it very much!"
Anthea held him tightly and didn't want to let go. She couldn't wait to converse with him her loving feelings for him for the whole night. But when she thought that he was going to rush back to the army tomorrow, she felt heartrending and reluctant. At about three o'clock in the morning, the two of them fell asleep reluctantly.
The next day, Adam made breakfast for her and left at 8 o'clock.
He drove back and called her to tell her that he safely arrived at the base.
At that time, Anthea just arrived at the Hsu family and came to visit Master Hsu. She was going back to the town the next day, and there were still more than half a month before lunar new year. She had to follow her teacher Vincent to the hospital for internship after new year holiday before the new term would begin.
Anthea was the only one left lying on the bed at night.
It would be alright at ordinary times, but the bed was still filled with the scent of intimacy. The two of them had separated after just ten hours of seeing each other. Their longing for each other had turned into a flood. Especially Adam, who texted her before she went to bed, "Anthea, I miss you."
She didn't know what kind of shocked expression he would show when he saw her!
She could not help looking forward to it.
When the sun was at its peak in the afternoon, Anthea came down from the taxi. There was not a trace of tiredness on her little face. She excitedly looked at the gate of the military base. It was solemn, making people involuntarily hold their breath.
At the door, there was a guard with loaded guns. He was dressed in a military uniform and looked serious.
Seeing that she was walking in with a small suitcase, he immediately stopped her and said, "Lady, military district is not allowed to enter!"
Anthea called Adam several times but no one answered.
However, the two sentinels in front of her abided by their duties and were impartial. They would not let her in no matter what she said.
Anthea squatted at the gate. Rubbing her hands, she was worried when a military pickup truck came from outside.
She looked up and her eyes lit up.
Anthea jumped up and shouted at the approaching pickup truck and waved her hand, "Brother Carter, Carter-"
Carter, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the truck carrying military supplies, vaguely heard someone calling him, but he was not sure. The glass was tightly sealed, and when he saw the slender figure in the rearview, he quickly stepped on the brakes.
Carter was instantly excited, "What? Captain's
Anthea? "
