Ultimate Goddess System 47 1.2.10: Happy Belated Birthday

Xiao Yunhua was absolutely stunned when she saw the usual reserved doctor grab her hand and pull her along. They walked with their hands clasped until they reached the elevator. Once inside, Qiang Yue still didn't release her hand and they listened to an upbeat elevator music for a minute or two.

They finally stopped at a floor that was labeled as "Staff Cafeteria". What was expected as buzzing was quiet as it was a bit late into the night.

A few people were still working and cleaning some things up. Once they saw Qiang Yue, they smiled and ushered him over.

Indeed, he was very popular like the rumors if smiles were the only thing that greeted him everywhere he went.

An elderly cafeteria woman saw him and happily greeted him. Once she saw his hand holding hers, she immediately teased the doctor about, who actually remained unbothered. He gently released Xiao Yunhua's hand and told her to sit at a table to wait for him.

Xiao Yunhua nodded obediently and sat down at the nearest table, her fingers impatiently drumming on the table. Despite sitting here, she didn't mind as it beat lying on her hospital bed alone any day.

This large cafeteria was an open s.p.a.ce, different from her room. But Xiao Yunhua was surprised that he brought her to the staff cafeteria for something. She hoped that he wouldn't get in trouble for bringing a patient there; in fact, she would feel awful if he did and it was because of her.

While lost in her thoughts, she didn't see him bring a plate in her direction. On the plate was a small, pink cupcake with a single candle burning brightly on top of it.

The more he brought it forward, the more he realized that his silly patient was zoned out. He placed the plate in front of her, startling her into attention.

Her honey colored eyes widened in shock when she saw what was before her.

"Happy belated birthday." His smile was gentle, like with everyone else, but Xiao Yunhua nevertheless was charmed. This angelic man... Such an angelic man was too good for her.

Xiao Yunhua's cheeks were warm with salty tears of joy. Her usual feeling of claustrophobia was gone at this moment, and all she could feel was grat.i.tude. "Thank you." Even she didn't understand why she was so emotional, but she could acknowledge that this man had thoroughly won her respect and appreciation. Why did the system pick this man? Was it because of his generosity? His kindness? His att.i.tude could never be pegged as the same att.i.tude as the childish Zhou family princes.

The fact that he was related to Butler Luo was a mystery because Butler Luo played a role in getting rid of Han Mi. They say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but this apple... this apple has fallen all the way on the other side of the garden, away from the sinning tree. And she deeply hoped that it would stay that way. She would hate for Qiang Yue to fall on the wrong path, no matter the reason.

His heart was kind and white. It would be a shame if it were to splash with any black. And, unfortunately, for the color black, once a drop is mixed in, it would spread and never return to its original state.

Meanwhile Qiang Yue nodded when he saw how happy she was at his simple act of kindness. He told her to blow out the candle after making a wish. Even though her birthday was over, Qiang Yue still wanted to help her feel a little better about herself and not be so disappointed like earlier.

Xiao Yunhua took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Deep, deep in her heart, her silent wish was revealed: 'I wish that I don't end up hurting this man because of the selfishness of the system.'

And then she blew out the candle with one large blow of wind...
