Close your eyes!
Li Ling obediently closed his eyes and waited for a while.
"Open your eyes."
Li Ling opened his eyes and saw a cake on Xiao Ying's lap.
I was deeply moved.
If a girl is willing to walk more than ten kilometers along rugged mountain roads, getting blisters on her feet, and still smiling as she brings you a birthday cake, please remember to treat her well for the rest of your life.
"Happy 19th birthday, Xiao Zhuang!" Xiao Ying said happily.
Make a wish.
Li Ling wiped away a trace of moisture from the corner of her eye, closed her eyes, and began to make a wish.
When Li Ling opened his eyes, Xiao Ying asked curiously, "What did you wish for?"
"You can't tell her, or it won't work anymore," Li Ling said, trying to tease her.
"No, I need to know," Xiaoying insisted.
Li Ling smiled mischievously and said, "I promised that Xiaoying would give me two children in this lifetime, preferably a boy and a girl, so that they can make a 'good' character."
"Ha~, you wish! Who would want to marry you, let alone have two children?" Xiaoying wrinkled her cute little nose.
"Then I'll make my wish again." Li Ling pretended to make a wish again, and took a bite of cake when Xiao Ying wasn't paying attention.
Xiaoying asked, "Does this work?"
Li Ling nodded: "Of course, I've already eaten the cake, so my wish has been known by heaven. You can't escape it in this lifetime."
"I've already made that wish. You have to give me two children in the future. Shouldn't you call me 'husband' then?"
"Ha, husband? You wish." Xiaoying reached out and pinched Li Ling, who then kissed her on the cheek.
"Ugh, cake got on my face."
"Haha, then you can put it on my face too."
The two played around for a while, then shared the cake.
“I also have a gift for you,” Li Ling said.
"What?" Xiaoying asked curiously.
"Ta-da!"
Li Ling took out the wild orchid he had picked before from his breast pocket and handed it to Xiao Ying.
Xiaoying carefully took it, looked at the orchid that had become shriveled due to dehydration, and said with disdain, "What kind of flower is this? It's so ugly."
Li Ling retorted, "Where is it ugly? It looks much better than the cake you brought."
"Ouch, don't hit me."
Xiaoying tapped Li Ling on the head, held the orchid to her nose and smelled it, exclaiming with delight, "It smells quite nice!"
Li Ling's face was full of pride: "I picked them specially, of course they smell good."
"Let me see the injury on your foot." Li Ling took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, put the medicine aside, gently picked up Xiao Ying's foot and washed the wound with the stream water, then carefully applied the medicine to the blister.
Li Ling specially prepared this medicine because he knew that in the original drama, Xiao Ying had walked more than ten kilometers and developed blisters on her feet, so he prepared this medicine in advance.
Looking at the man carefully applying the medicine to her, Xiaoying smiled happily.

Chapter 60 The Great Artist
Good times always pass quickly. As the sun set, it was time for Xiaoying to leave. Li Ling carried Xiaoying on his back and walked towards the long-distance bus station, which was more than ten kilometers away.
Xiaoying rested her head on Li Ling's shoulder, looked at the man's profile, and kissed him on the cheek.
Li Ling tilted her head and offered her other cheek: "And this side too."
Xiaoying giggled and made a "smack".
Girls, if you meet a man who is willing to give his all to love you, please cherish him.
At the long-distance bus station, Xiaoying had already boarded the bus, while Li Ling stood outside the window, the two reluctantly parting ways.
"The car is about to leave, let's go back." Xiaoying held the orchid in her hand, somewhat reluctant to part with it.
“There’s still time,” Li Ling said.
"Didn't I tell you to go back before dark?" Xiaoying urged him.
"There's still time," Li Ling insisted.
Xiaoying smiled sweetly. She knew the man in front of her was reluctant to part with her, but she still didn't want him to make a mistake: "I will come to see you again."
Li Ling stopped insisting and pointed to the orchid, instructing Xiao Ying, "Keep it safe and don't break it."
Xiaoying nodded. This orchid was Li Ling's substitute, to keep her company in his place.
The car started and was about to drive away.
