"Yes, a cake will be enough. However, this year, my birthday comes the day after the 49th day of Grandma's death. I don't want a big celebration. I just want to have a cake with you, Lianyi, and the rest," said Ling Yiran.
This was her first birthday after they got together.
However, Grandma had just passed away, after all. She was still mourning for her.
She did not want a boisterous birthday celebration. She just wanted to celebrate her birthday quietly with him and her friends.
"Sure. I'll prepare your birthday cake," he answered.
"Thank you." She smiled and looked at the time. It was almost time for him to work in the afternoon. "Then, I'll get going and leave you to work."
As she spoke, she picked up her bag and stood up.
However, before she had taken two steps, a pair of arms encircled her from behind her, and she was immediately swept into his arms.
His face was buried in her neck, taking in her body scent. "Don't... Go to the hospital tomorrow. I'll take you to another hospital and get another doctor to check out your headaches, all right?"
His hoarse voice spoke softly as his arms held her tightly.
Ling Yiran shivered a little, and it was some time before she replied, "Just wait… Until I come back from the hospital tomorrow. If my head still hurts, you can get me a doctor to check it out."
He was silent. He just held her so tightly and did not speak.
"Jin?" she spoke and broke the silence.
"Then we'll do as you say," he said, letting go a little.
Ling Yiran turned her head around and looked at Yi Jinli. His deep, beautiful eyes seemed to fill with loneliness again, but the next moment, he looked just like usual. His eyes were gentle, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
Ling Yiran found it strange, but she could not point it out.
