Even though she had already eaten at the wedding banquet, the little girl still had a great appetite and could eat two bowls.
An Yuan'er only put down her chopsticks when her belly was round and full, and she was so full she couldn't eat anymore.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yi Chenli didn't bring any money with him when he went out; An Yuan'er paid for it.
An Yuan'er teased Yi Chenli: "Ali, Eunuch Li always felt that I took advantage of you. When you go back this time, you must tell him that I treated you to the best bowl of wontons."
Yi Chenli: "......"
Yi Chenli never expected that one day he would be asked by An Yuan'er to treat him to something. Feeling awkward, he could only reply, "I know."
"Grandma, come eat wontons again next time." An Yuan'er waved her hand, and her mother-in-law smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Yi Chenli didn't speak, but his mother called him back.
"Young man, Miss An is a good girl, you must not bully her."
An Yuan'er stared at Yi Chenli and laughed: "Look, even Grandma said you're bullying me."
Yi Chenli rarely smiled in public, always wearing a cold expression. In addition, since he was in a wheelchair, other people would always keep their distance from him, as if he were an oddball.
But his mother-in-law wasn't afraid of him at all.
"Young man, come here for a moment."
Yi Chenli wheeled himself to Granny Xu. Granny Xu bent down, leaned close to his ear, and said in a voice barely loud enough for the two of them, "Young man, it's alright. The young girl is thinking of you all the time, don't push her away again. Actually, we're no different from healthy people, are we?"
The mother-in-law kept smiling at Yi Chenli, but when Yi Chenli looked into her eyes again, they were still lifeless and dull.
However, Granny Xu saw things that her eyes could not see.
Yi Chenli said affirmatively, "Mother-in-law, you are right."
The wonton stall is still open late at night. On a quiet and lonely night, being able to eat a bowl of hot wontons like this must be a delicious treat.
This time, it's really too late. Even those who attended the wedding banquet should be back by now.
Yi Chenli once again sent An Yuan'er home.
An Yuan'er blinked, asking curiously the whole way, "Did Granny Xu tell you a little secret just now? Yi Chenli, you have to tell me!"
But Yi Chenli didn't say a single word more.
An Yuan'er was sulking the whole way; Yi Chenli was being so unfair.
An Yuan'er put her hands on her hips and said unhappily, "I'm going back."
The little expression on his face was, "Come and comfort me."
With her back to Yi Chenli, An Yuan'er could only hear a soft sigh from the man in the darkness.
An Yuan'er was unaware that the boy, who had been sitting in a wheelchair for many years, had taken a few steps and embraced the girl from behind.
In the past, hugs were always shared between two people squeezed into wheelchairs.
But this embrace was reserved only for Yi Chenli.
It turned out he was so much taller than her; An Yuan'er only reached his shoulder.
His embrace was so warm that An Yuan'er was already in tears without realizing it.
Yi Chenli whispered, "Originally, I wanted to wait until I was fully recovered before giving you a surprise. But, Yuan Yuan, I really couldn't wait. The moment I was able to stand up from my wheelchair for the first time, I couldn't wait to share it with you, not wanting to wait even a moment longer. Because I know that you are the only one and the most worthy person to share my joy with."
Yi Chenli rarely spoke so much at once.
If it weren't for his mother-in-law, Yi Chenli would probably still be hesitant to speak up today.
