Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

What was he doing running out so late at night?

Lu Luozhi began to wait for him.

We waited and waited.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Ying Yuchuan still hadn't returned.

Standing at the entrance, Lu Luozhi, who was so worried that she couldn't sit still, looked towards the end of the alley.

The alley was fairly wide and not dark, with a few streetlights illuminating it, and lights from other houses on both sides lighting up the night, but she still hadn't seen Ying Yuchuan return.

I called his cell phone, but he didn't answer.

Did something happen to him?

Or perhaps he collapsed halfway there and no one found him in time?

He is still very weak, and this possibility might actually occur.

Gritting her teeth, Lu Luozhi steeled her resolve; she simply couldn't wait any longer.

She went back inside to get her keys, then quickly locked the door and went out to look for him.

Honestly, where did you suddenly go without saying a word?

From the bungalow, you need to make a left turn and go straight to the street corner.

It's about three or four hundred meters away.

After turning the corner, Luluzhi walked even faster.

As she walked, she kept an eye on her surroundings, trying to see if Ying Yuchuan had collapsed somewhere unnoticed.

Until, not far away, a tall figure leaning against a lamppost caught her attention.

He seemed to be in some discomfort, breathing heavily.

That's Ying Yuchuan.

"Ying Yuchuan!"

She was surprised, delighted, and anxious all at once. She ran quickly towards him, asking, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Ying Yuchuan ran back, and his head was spinning so much that he had to stop and rest for a while. He also wanted to catch his breath so that she wouldn't notice that he was feeling unwell.

Unexpectedly, before he even returned, she ran out to look for him again.

Ah, her.

Why did it come out again?

He had agreed that she should wait for him to come back inside.

She came up to him and looked at his face with concern.

"Are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

Although it was still a little painful, Ying Yuchuan was already very satisfied.

See? She still cares about him.

She wasn't that heartless.

"I don't feel unwell anywhere."

He smiled slightly, then mysteriously hid his right hand behind his back.

Lu Luozhi supported him, "Where did you go? You're not fully recovered yet, so don't run around like that. It's worrying. What if you fainted on the way? I called your cell phone, but you didn't answer."

He said somewhat apologetically, "My phone died and turned off."

"oh."

She supported him and glanced at his right hand, which he was mysteriously hiding behind his back.

"What did you buy?"

She asked casually.

"Want to know?"

"You don't have to say it."

Ying Yuchuan glanced at her. The alley was quiet, and they were standing under a lamppost, the dim yellow light of the streetlights enveloping them both.

This kind of atmosphere seems pretty good.

He stopped trying to be mysterious and, under her gaze, took out his right hand, which had been hidden behind his back.

He slowly handed it to her.

It's a retro-style cake with a fresh and delicate color scheme that girls would love...

Yes, he was carrying a cake that was about six inches in size, with a little "Happy Birthday" sign stuck on it.

He appeared in front of her so suddenly.

Lu Luozhi looked on in astonishment, her mouth agape as she stared at the birthday cake he was carrying, hardly believing it.

cake?

Why would he buy a cake out of the blue...?

Did he know it was his birthday today?

With this thought in mind, her gaze quickly shifted to his handsome face, silently questioning him.

Ying Yuchuan thought she didn't like it, so he explained, "I'm sorry, when I got to the cake shop, the cake chefs were almost off work. I had to pay double the price for them to make one for me. I chose this design myself..."

How did you know it was my birthday today?

She couldn't help but ask.

"I saw a cake box in your room."

He said it very honestly.

"Then I found our marriage certificate and checked it to confirm that it was today."

Lu Luozhi's mind raced, recalling his sudden outing earlier, and she asked, "So you went out specifically to buy a cake?"

He nodded and hummed in agreement.

Then he blamed himself, "I didn't even remember your birthday. I seem to be a bit of a bad husband."

"I should have planned a birthday party for you and given you a gift you liked, instead of this rushed affair with just a simple birthday cake."
