A girl rubbed her knee, which was sore from the bump, hesitated, but still swung her wheelchair towards him, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on you.”

Leng Xichen’s face was cold, there wasn’t a hint of warmth.

“Well, it’s actually not all unintentional.” The girl thought about it and decided to come clean. Just now, originally she was sunning herself not far away, and their conversation inadvertently reached her ears.

She knew that he has been withdrawn from the marriage by a girl and the man’s self-esteem must have been hurt because of this reason, so she intended to walk away quietly, but when she strolled away, she accidentally bumped into a roadside bench and made a noise.

“Roll!” Leng Xichen was in a bad mood and directly threw an order at her.

“Everyone has a destined mate, and if she doesn’t accompany you to the end, that means she’s just a passerby in your long life, and the girl who belongs to you must be waiting for you somewhere in the future.” The girl actually didn’t know how to comfort someone when faced with such a situation, but she still tried to make him feel better with her barren language.

“That’s easy for you to say, try going blind!” Leng Xichen relocated his anger to the innocent.

“I actually have a disability too, paralyzed legs.” The girl didn’t choose to leave because of his bad attitude, originally her legs would have been able to stand up in a few more days without a wheelchair, but in order to close the distance between them, she deliberately lied.

Hearing her words, a certain place in Leng Xichen’s heart was touched. Listening to her light-hearted tone, he thought she was a normal person.

“My name is Su Yihan and I am eighteen years old.” The girl raised her youthful, smiling face, and graciously extended her right hand to him.

This was Leng Xichen’s first meeting with Su Yi Han.

Later, he recalled that she was the only color in his gray day. She was like a warm ray of sunlight that pierced through his hardened heart and took away the fog in his mind.

In the later days of hospitalization, Su Yihan would always go to him intentionally to chat, and after accidentally learning that he had a birthday that day, she came to him with a bag in her hand.

“I just found out it’s your birthday and I have nothing to give you, I don’t think you’ve had breakfast yet? Here, have my scallion egg cake!” She said, handing the bag in her hand to him.

“What is it?” Leng Xichen couldn’t see it and held it under his nose and sniffed it, there was a smell of scallion flowers.

“Onion and egg cake ah, to tell you, I made it myself, I had borrowed a nurse’s dorm over here, do you want to try it?” Su Yihan pushed his hand, holding the bag up to his mouth.

According to the Leng family’s rules, he was not allowed to eat food prepared for him by anyone other than his family in case someone used poison. However, this time, Leng Xichen didn’t hesitate at all and directly brought the food into his mouth.

At once, the flavor of eggs mixed with the aroma of scallions filled his entire taste buds.

He’d eaten countless treasured dishes and couldn’t think of a dish that could compare to this egg cake of the day.

“Well, how is it?” Watching him take two bites, Su Yihan wasn’t able to wait to ask.

“Yum.” Leng Xichen appraised neutrally.

It was by far the best birthday present he had ever received.

“That’s a must! It’s an upgraded version of the scallion egg cake, which is not the same as the one sold outside, I added a secret ingredient to it!” Su Yihan had a proud face, then urged him, “Hurry up, make a wish!”

“Make what?”

“Wish for something, quick!”

“Is that okay?”

“Yeah!”

Just like that, Leng Xichen made a wish on the egg cake for the first time. His wish was that every year for his birthday in the future, he could have the scallion egg cakes she made.

The past was too sweet for him to remember for a long time.
