When Gu Yun Che was waiting in the living room, he made two bowls of noodles with the ingredients in the fridge.

The moment he scooped the soup out of the pot, the door of the master bedroom was opened and a girl dressed in a large shirt walked out.

Due to her small size, she looked like a child who was dressed in adult clothes.

“I cooked some noodles, come and eat.”

Luo Qianqian went to get the chopsticks and said as she sat down in the dining room, “Can I take it as my birthday noodles?”

“Sort of,” Gu Yun Che said calmly.

Luo Qianqian smiled and took a bite of the noodles. It was smooth and tasty.

Although she had just experienced the most horrible situation she had ever been in since she was born, she also had the best birthday ever.

“That is the best noodles I have ever eaten.”

Gu Yun Che raised the corner of his lips but then he saw her red and swollen cheeks as well as the bruises on her rolled-up sleeves. He looked lethal.

Those people deserved to die.

But what he himself had not realized was that he cared way too much about this girl from Hua Land.

Luo Qianqian finished the bowl of noodles, leaving nothing behind.

Seeing her finishing the food, Gu Yun Che urged.

“Let’s go to the hospital now.”

Luo Qianqian nodded and followed him into the car.

Gu Yun Che brought her to the hospital for a full-body examination. Apart from some superficial wounds on her eardrums from where she was smacked around, everything else were just external wounds.

But there were still many wounds on her head, hands, feet and back.

The doctor prescribed some medicine and asked them to leave.

Coming out of the hospital, Gu Yun Che asked, “Where do you live?”

Luo Qianqian thought that he was going to drive her back to the hotel, so she turned him down.

“I don’t want to live alone.”

Gu Yun Che looked at her. “We’re going to get your luggage.”

After what happened today, he was not going to let her stay at the hotel alone.

Luo Qianqian told him the address of the hotel, got into the car and sat in the passenger’s seat as he drove her to the hotel.

Gu Yun Che waited for her to get changed, packed up the luggage, carried it into the car and brought her back to his place.

On the way back, he saw the cake store that was closing, so he stopped the car and said, “I need to buy something downstairs.”

“I want to go with you,” Luo Qianqian said.

Gu Yun Che knew that she was not feeling safe, so he brought her out of the car and bought the smallest cake.

After they went into the car, he gave it to her and said, “Happy birthday.”

“Shouldn’t you light the candles before saying that?” Luo Qianqian asked with a smile.

But she felt even sweeter inside.

Without saying a word, Gu Yun Che focused on driving. It was already 11:50 p.m. when they returned to the apartment.

The moment she entered the room, Gu Yun Che took the cake and placed it on the table as he lit the candles.

Then he said seriously, “Happy birthday, Qianqian.”

Seeing the man’s gentle expression under the candlelight, Luo Qianqian made a wish with her hands and eyes closed, blowing out the candle at the last minute of the day.

Then she cut the cake and gave it to the man opposite her.

“Thank you for saving me today, thank you for the noodles, thank you for the cake…”

Gu Yun Che took over the cake, took a bite and mumbled, “So this is what birthday cake tastes like.”
