If she hadn’t known him, she wouldn’t have so many tumultuous experiences.

Yet Jian Yufei does not regret meeting him...

The music ended, and Xiao Lang stood up and walked over to sit across from her, smiling as he said, "The music earlier was dedicated to you."

"Thank you, it was very beautiful." Jian Yufei was very appreciative.

Xiao Lang looked at her relatively healthy appearance; it was hard to imagine she was suffering from leukemia, such a severe illness.

He pursed his lips and asked, "I heard you and Ruan Tianling are getting married?"

Jian Yufei nodded: "Yes."

She took out a wedding invitation and handed it to him, "You’re welcome to attend our wedding."

Xiao Lang accepted it solemnly: "I will."

Then Xiao Lang instructed the waiter to serve the dishes.

This restaurant was still under Xiao Lang’s name; he remained the owner here.

Xiao Lang wasn’t lacking in money and made many investments.

The restaurant was dispensable to him, but he kept it; the reason was only known to him.

The waiter laid the exquisite dishes on the table, all of which Jian Yufei could eat now.

High protein, high calorie, low fat food.

For people with leukemia, eating such food is beneficial to their health.

Jian Yufei suspected that Xiao Lang already knew about her illness.

Yet he didn’t ask, and she didn’t say.

"Let’s eat." Xiao Lang smiled at her, and Jian Yufei nodded, picking up her knife and fork to eat.

They quietly enjoyed lunch together, he did not speak, and she did not ask him why he had sought her out.

...

After finishing the meal, Xiao Lang had someone bring dessert.

Jian Yufei had to ask him: "Did you find me for something?"

Xiao Lang’s eyes held deep understanding as he looked at her, his voice hoarse: "You’re sick, aren’t you?"

Jian Yufei smiled and admitted: "Yes, when did you find out?"

"Yesterday."

"Actually, it’s not much; it should be treatable." Jian Yufei’s tone was light; despite her illness, everyone was worried about her, yet she was the most optimistic.

Xiao Lang asked again: "Have you found a bone marrow match?"

"Not yet. But we’ve found a half-match, Ruan Tianling wants to find a full match."

Xiao Lang nodded: "A full match is better, the chances of recovery are greater."

"Yes. Did you find me just to ask about this?"

Xiao Lang suddenly lowered his gaze, hiding the sadness in his eyes; his demeanor made Jian Yufei somewhat uneasy.

"Xiao Lang, what’s wrong?" Jian Yufei asked softly.

Xiao Lang raised his eyes, his dark eyes looking at her without blinking, suppressing pain and affection in his gaze.

His voice was raspy as he spoke: "Yufei, why do you have to go through so many things? I thought you were already happy..."

Jian Yufei forced a smile: "Actually, I am very happy. I have things that many people cannot possess, I am very satisfied, really."

"But the heavens took away your health!" Xiao Lang’s emotions were a bit agitated, "You’re so good; how could these things happen to you? You’ve never done anything unjust, why does heaven treat you this way? I’m the one who deserves to die; it should let everything fall onto me, not you!"

"Xiao Lang..." Jian Yufei hadn’t expected him to be so emotional, "You’re not the one who deserves to die, and I’m not necessarily going to die, don’t be like this."

"No, I am the one who deserves to die!" Xiao Lang’s pain in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

"It was I who harmed you, making you suffer so much. If it weren’t for me approaching you back then, so many subsequent things wouldn’t have happened!"
