While waiting in the living room, Gu Yunche casually cooked two bowls of noodles in the kitchen using ingredients from the refrigerator.
Just as the food was served, the door to the master bedroom opened, and a girl wearing an oversized men's shirt came out.
Because she was so small and thin, his clothes made her look like a little child wearing an adult's clothes.
"I've cooked noodles, come and eat."
Luo Qianqian immediately went over to get chopsticks and sat down in the restaurant, looking at the noodles in her bowl.
"Can I take this as a birthday noodle dish made for me?"
"I suppose so," Gu Yunche said calmly.
Luo Qianqian smiled, took a bite of the noodles, and found them fresh, fragrant, smooth, and delicious.
Although she experienced the worst thing that has ever happened to her since birth today, she also had the best birthday ever.
"This is the best noodles I've ever eaten."
Gu Yunche subtly raised the corners of his mouth, noticing her slightly swollen cheeks and the bruises revealed by her rolled-up sleeves, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Those people truly deserve to die.
However, he himself did not realize that his concern for this Chinese girl had exceeded the proper limits.
Luo Qianqian finished the bowl of noodles completely, leaving not a drop of soup.
Gu Yunche urged her to finish eating.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Luo Qianqian nodded and obediently followed him out the door and into the car.
Gu Yunche took her to the hospital for a full-body checkup. Apart from a slight injury to her eardrum, all the other injuries were external.
However, there were many injuries, on his head, hands, legs, and back, all over the place.
The doctor prescribed oral and topical medications, gave them a few instructions, and then sent them home.
"After leaving the hospital, Gu Yunche asked."
"Where do you live?"
Luo Qianqian thought he was going to take her back to her hotel, so she immediately shook her head and refused.
"I don't want to live alone."
Gu Yunche looked at her and said, "Take your luggage."
After what happened today, he couldn't possibly feel comfortable leaving her alone in a hotel.
Luo Qianqian then gave the hotel address and got into the car, letting her take her to the hotel.
Gu Yunche waited for her to change her clothes and pack her luggage. He helped her put her suitcase in the car and took her back to his residence.
On the way back, I saw a cake shop on the roadside that was about to close, so I stopped the car and said...
"I'm going downstairs to buy something."
“I want to go too,” Luo Qianqian said.
Gu Yunche knew she was still shaken and insecure, so he took her out of the car and into the bakery, where they bought the smallest cake.
After getting in the car, he handed it to her and said, "Take it yourself."
"Happy birthday."
"Shouldn't we go back and light candles before saying that?" Luo Qianqian asked with a smile.
However, I felt even sweeter inside than if I had eaten cake.
Gu Yunche remained silent, focusing on driving. The two arrived back at their residence at 11:50 PM.
As soon as he entered, Gu Yunche took the cake she was carrying, placed it on the dining table, and lit the candles.
Then, he said it solemnly.
Happy birthday, Qianqian.
Looking at the man's gentle eyes illuminated by the candlelight, Luo Qianqian clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish. She then blew out the candles at the last minute of the day.
Then I cut the cake and gave it to the person sitting opposite me first.
"Thank you for saving me today, thank you for the noodles you cooked, thank you for the cake..."
Gu Yunche took the cake, picked up a fork, took a bite, and murmured something.
"So this is what birthday cake tastes like."
