    As Ces Doo averted her gaze from his face, she noticed his wet shoulders from the rain. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Why is it my birthday?"

    "The password has always been your birthday, I'm used to it. Even though I've changed several phones, I still use your birthday as the password," Huo Chuan replied calmly, without any concealment.

    Cen Sidu was momentarily speechless. He lowered his head, entered the password, and sure enough, unlocked the lock.

    Actually, back in high school, Huo Chuan's phone password was really his birthday.

    Cen Sidu was well aware of this matter.

    However, at that time, Cen Sidu did not feel that there was a deeper meaning to this.

    Clicking into his contact list, Cen Sid

    "Xiao Liu."

    Cen Sidu found Little Liu's number through a search and edited a text message to send him the address. He intended to return the phone to him, but unexpectedly Huo Chuan abruptly said, "Save your number."

    "Okay." Cen Sidu did not hesitate, entered the number, neatly noted his own name, and then returned the phone to him.

    In the next twenty-some minutes, Huo Chuan had no intention of deliberately raising a topic.

    And Cen Sidu, on the other hand, showed even less willingness to speak up first.

    He had been silently staring at the heavy rain outside the car window. Inside the closed car, the scent that filled his nostrils was all belonging to Huo Chuan.

    He didn't want to care, but he couldn't help but care.

    The heart in the chest, thumping wildly, almost deafeningly loud.

    Until the ostentatious Maybach came to a halt in front of the dilapidated apartment building, Cen Sidu looked at the muddy ground outside and said to him, "They've been demolishing nearby recently, so it looks a bit dirty and messy."

    "Housing demolition?" Huo Chuan surveyed the precarious-looking buildings around him. "Are you looking for a house recently?"

    "Ah?"

    It would take some time before Cen Sidu would have to move out of the building he lived in, so he never even thought about finding a new place.

    Moreover, he had been living here since birth, for the past thirty years. It was truly difficult to part with this place all of a sudden.

    "Still haven't found a house?" Huo Chuan understood his words from the silence.

    Cen Si nodded, "Wait for a while, I'll find some free time to go again."

    He was too busy making money every day that he never even thought about where to find a house.

    Even to the point where he considered sleeping in underground passageways or under bridges.

    However, since he had already made up his mind to bring his grandmother back from the nursing home, all these thoughts of his were just fleeting ideas.

    "If you're willing, you can stay at my place for now."

    "What?" Cen Sidu thought he misheard, looking at him with a surprised face.

    Seeing his strong reaction, Huo Chuan helplessly smiled and said, "I sincerely invite you, it's not a joke. You can think about it."

    "No need," Cen Sidu replied resolutely without any hesitation. "My grandmother is in a nursing home. After a while, when I find a new house, I will bring her back."

    "Nana?" Huo Chuan recalled and confirmed that he had indeed seen her before. Moreover, Cen Si Du had a close relationship with his nana. "If you're free another day, could you take me to visit Nana?"

    "Are you going?"

    "Well, when I used to come to your house before, didn't Grandma give me candy to eat?"

    Thinking back to that time, Huo Chuan couldn't help but find it funny. "As a result, coming to your house so often led to accumulating a full bag of candies."

    Recalling those days, Cen Sidu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Every time, I would wonder why you didn't refuse since you don't like eating candy. Every time I put it in my school uniform pocket, it would melt before long."

    "That's not because you love eating, is it?" His tone was extremely calm, but the emotions in his eyes gradually became turbulent and surging.

    Cen Sidu's smile gradually froze on his face as his thoughts were being taken away by Huo Chuan, about to return to that summer when they first met. Suddenly, he snapped back to reality and said, "I'll leave first."

    Huochuan did not stop him. After opening the car door, he propped up his umbrella and went down.

    Walking downstairs, Cen Sidu glanced at the narrow hallway, then took another look at Huo Chuan's expensive suit. He tactfully said, "I won't invite you up. It's quite messy at home."

    Huochuan frowned, appearing displeased. "I haven't even finished speaking and you are already rejecting me?"

    Cen Si Du pursed his lips and hung his head, "I'm sorry."

    "Could it be that you have a partner now? Is she at home?" Huo Chuan teased him intentionally.

    "No! Absolutely not!" Cen Sidu's face turned red.

    He didn't understand why his face turned red at this moment.

    They are both adults, so even if they have significant others, it's not something that cannot be discussed.

    Huo Chuan was very satisfied with his reaction, and the smile in his eyes deepened involuntarily. "Alright, I won't come up. Take good rest after you go home. If you feel unwell, just give me a call."

    Cen Sidu pinched the corner of his clothes and replied with a "Hmm", "Thank you for escorting me home. Take care on the way and drive slowly."

    "Okay." A gleam of amusement sparkled in Huo Chuan's eyes as a radiant smile bloomed on his face. "You can go up."

    Cen Sid

    Arriving on the third floor, Cen Sidu took out the key from his pocket, opened the door and went inside the room. Instead of immediately turning on the lights, he walked towards the window to see if the car downstairs had driven away or not.

    Huo Chuan stood downstairs but did not immediately drive away. It was unclear what he was doing because his movements were all hidden beneath the black umbrella.

    Cen Si Du stood in front of the window, puzzled as he took off his delivery uniform.

    Suddenly, his cellphone rang.

    In a fluster, Cen Sidu pulled out his cellphone from his pocket, only to find that it was an unfamiliar number.

    He couldn't help but wonder, but he still answered the call.

    "Hello? Are you there?"

    "Sidu," came Huo Chuan's voice from the phone, "have you arrived home?"

    "I... I've reached... reached home," Cen Sidu stuttered abruptly.

    "That's good then." Huo Chuan closed the umbrella and got into the car. "Just wanted to let you know in advance, goodnight."

    Cen Si Du looked through the glass window at the pitch-black sky outside, unable to distinguish whether it was due to the onset of night or the heavy rain. "Hmm, goodnight."

    After hanging up the phone, Cen Sidu tossed his cell phone onto the bed.

    As I turned towards the direction of the restroom, I felt a bit dizzy and groggy in my head.

    It seems that I just got caught in the rain and wind, so I feel a little uncomfortable.

    He wondered when his body had become so weak.

    Could it be because I'm getting old?

    Is it because I'm too tired?

    While taking a shower, he almost passed out several times. Thankfully, his quick reflexes allowed him to grab onto the wall in time, preventing him from falling and avoiding any potential tragedy.

    After taking a quick shower and coming out of the bathroom, Cen Sidu had originally planned to cook noodles for dinner. However, his limbs gradually weakened and as soon as he saw the bed, he collapsed onto it.
