Zhao Yun sighed heavily in his heart.
Even if he couldn't bear it, he would not forget his ultimate goal.
He has always scoffed at love.
"Don't you feel touched?"
Xu Lingyi tilted her head and smiled, looking innocent and cute.
"As long as you have a happy birthday, I'm willing to do anything. I can also practice cooking more dishes in the future, not just noodles."
Zhao Yun held her hand and pulled her into his arms, "Thank you, Yi'er, but your hands should be used to practice medicine and save lives, not wasted in the kitchen because of me."
But Xu Lingyi shook her head, "For you, I am willing."
Sometimes, Zhao Yun even feels a headache because of her deep affection.
He thought his birthday was over.
As a result, after nightfall, Xu Lingyi came over again and held his hand.
"Zhao Yun, follow me!"
She seemed a little excited, "Actually, I have other gifts prepared for you."
"Anything else?" Zhao Yun was surprised.
It was just a birthday. Even when his mother was still alive, there wasn't so much preparation for his birthday.
"Well, stand here and wait for a moment."
With that, Xu Lingyi ran away, seemingly not far away.
A few seconds later he heard the sound of fireworks.
After a while, the footsteps gradually approached, and her voice sounded in my ears again.
Amid the sound of fireworks, Xu Lingyi leaned close to Zhao Yun's ear, and her hot breath fanned over his cheek.
"I was a little hesitant about preparing this because you can't see, but then I thought, a birthday should be lively and festive."
She raised her voice and spoke loudly to him
The fireworks Xu Lingyi prepared must have been very large, and it took a long time for them to burn out completely.
Although Zhao Yun couldn't see the fireworks, he could imagine their beauty.
After he became blind, he was indeed afraid of loneliness and darkness, so hearing these sounds did not disgust him.
"How do you like it?"
Xu Lingyi asked this question more than once today.
She seemed to be constantly monitoring his emotions.
It had been many years since anyone had put him first like she did.
"I love so much."
Only after Zhao Yun's gentle voice fell did Xu Lingyi seem to breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good. I was worried that you wouldn't like it or get angry."
"I can feel Yi'er's intentions. You spent so much effort preparing a gift for me. How could I be ungrateful?"
Zhao Yun spoke very sincerely.
"It's a pity that I can't see the beauty of the fireworks with my own eyes, nor can I see Yi'er's appearance, which must be even more gorgeous than the fireworks."
When talking about this topic, Zhao Yun seemed a little regretful.
"It's okay. My master should be back soon. He might have another way. He might be able to cure you without the Eye-Clearing Grass. Even if he does, I will definitely do my best to help you so that you can see again."
"Thank you, Yi'er. This is the happiest birthday I've had in all these years."
This is not a false statement.
"Ah, you were never happy on your birthday before?"
Zhao Yun nodded.
This also successfully aroused Xu Lingyi's curiosity, "Has no one ever celebrated your birthday before?"
Xu Lingyi held his hand, and their fingers were interlocked.
"Well, ever since I was deposed as Crown Prince, everyone in the capital has been avoiding me. Who would care about me?"
She squeezed his hand to comfort him. "The past is over."
"Yeah, luckily I still have you by my side."
"Do you want to know the story of my mother?" Zhao Yun suddenly asked.
Xu Lingyi raised her eyebrows.
"Master, the hero seems to have really opened his heart to you. Is he a little moved?"
The magic mirror didn't dare to say that the male protagonist liked her again, otherwise it would be criticized by its owner again.
"Aren't you going to use a cruel trick on me?"
Many people are slow to react in relationships.
Zhao Yun might have been moved at this moment, but he probably didn't realize it at all. Maybe he would truly like her only after they separated.
Xu Lingyi listened silently.
Sure enough, he told a very tragic story.
Even she couldn't help but feel sad for his mother after hearing this.
"After my mother died, my father changed completely. He used to be very kind to me. Before my mother's accident, I thought I was different from the other brothers and that I was his only favorite prince. Even my younger brothers thought so."
His voice was low, and seemed to carry an inextricable sorrow.
"Later, I learned that he had always hated me, my mother, and my maternal family. He had endured humiliation for many years just to eliminate my maternal family."
Xu Lingyi seemed extremely distressed. She held his hand tightly, trying to comfort him and give him strength.
"Then you must have suffered a lot."
"Yes, but luckily I made it through and am still alive. Perhaps even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, or perhaps he finally thought of his reputation and spared my life. But I always knew he wanted to kill me."
As long as he lives in this world, the emperor will never be completely at peace.
He knew he hated him and was afraid that he would seek revenge one day.
So he disappeared for several months, and there was no news of anyone looking for him in the capital.
The emperor probably wished he was dead.
Xu Lingyi hugged his back tightly and patted his back clumsily and carefully.
She comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. If he doesn't treat you as his son, then you should treat him as a stranger. If he wants you to die, then you must live well."
Seeing that Zhao Yun was still frowning and looked very sad.
Xu Lingyi continued to soothe her, "If your mother were still alive, she would definitely want you to be well and happy. So, even for your mother's sake, you have to cheer up, okay? I will always be by your side in the future. I will take good care of you on your mother's behalf."
"The past cannot be retrieved. The past is in the past. You are already at your lowest point. Every day from now on will only get better."
Hearing her words of comfort, Zhao Yun thought he would remain calm, after all, he had brought up the past on purpose.
But her words still made him feel a little warm.
"Will I have a future?"
He seemed a little hesitant. "I'm already blind, and my father has poisoned me to the point of extinction."
"Of course I won't. I will definitely help you. Even before I knew about your problems, I would have helped you. Now that I know, I will help you even more."
"I also know that you are not doing this for yourself, but to seek justice for your mother, right? I will definitely help you."
He is indeed not living for himself, and now he lives only for revenge.
Although the purpose of all this was just to get her pity, Xu Lingyi actually understood him.
It’s a pity... they are not destined to be on the same path.
If she knew the truth in the future and knew that she was just using... I wonder what would happen?
