"Okay." Yi Jinli responded, "You should go to bed early and don't think too much about it."

"Well... I seem a little hungry." Ling Yiran said suddenly.

"Then I'll go get someone to get you something to eat." He said as he stood up.

"No, it's so late. It's not good to let people get up and make something to eat. Besides... I kind of want to eat fruit soup now. I just go to the kitchen and make it myself." Ling Yiran said.

"I'll get it for you," Yi Jinli said.

"You?" She was stunned for a moment.

"It's just fruit soup, it'll be served soon," he said.

In the end, Ling Yiran and Yi Jinli left the bedroom together and came to the kitchen.

Ling was still sitting on the chair at the kitchen bar, watching Yi Jinli take out the fruit from the refrigerator, peel and cut the fruit, and then start making soup. A smile appeared on her lips.

He seemed to have an air of life more and more, as if the gap between him and her was slowly closing, which was different from the feeling of being superior.

Ling Yiran held his chin with both hands and looked at Yi Jinli who was busy. She liked her life very much, it was calm but warm.

The fruit soup was quickly prepared. Yi Jinli filled a bowl and brought it to Ling Yiran, "It's still hot. Let it cool down a little before eating, otherwise it will burn your mouth." He warned.

"Got it." She responded, first sliding the spoon slowly in the bowl to let the heat dissipate quickly, "By the way, Ajin, is there anything you want for your birthday?" she suddenly asked.

Yi Jinli's body stiffened suddenly. Birthday...Yes, his birthday is coming soon, but...last time, her birthday was so bad.

So much so that when it comes to birthdays, all he thinks about is the last time he proposed a breakup on her birthday.

If he hadn't proposed breaking up at the beginning, then they wouldn't have experienced those twists and turns, and they wouldn't have felt particularly heavy every time they thought about them.

Ling Yiran, who originally lowered his head, raised his head and looked at Yi Jinli after feeling Yi Jinli's silence, "What's wrong?"

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "My birthday...you don't need to prepare anything, just celebrate it simply."

"Even if it's simple, I still have to prepare a gift. Whatever gift you like, I can give it as long as I can." She said.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, "I... don't need any gifts. You can stay with me like you are now. For me, it is the best gift!"

"Are you concerned about your birthday because my birthday was... uh, bad?" Ling still guessed.

He pursed his lips and said nothing, so she knew she had guessed correctly.

"Ajin, my birthday was indeed a bit bad back then, but there are some things that, if not for the beginning, would not necessarily be what they are now." Ling still said calmly, "Maybe it is because I have lost it before that I am more happy now.

Cherish it."
