Shi Jun leaned over. “Yo, you received flowers. Some men have never received flowers in their entire lives. Who sent them?”

Wen Yanqing took out a card from the bouquet and looked at it. The corners of his lips curled up.

“Alright, it’s definitely Lin Gantang.” Shi Jun was numb.

He looked at the bouquet of flowers with a rare look. When he saw the Eryngium in the bouquet, he could not help but say, “The Eryngium has a flower language – to quietly wait and keep watch. Lin Gantang saw how you’ve been holding on for so many years. Fortunately, she didn’t disappoint you.”

Wen Yanqing’s gaze fell on the pale blue flowers. He smiled faintly. “How would a rough man like you know about the so-called language of flowers?”

“Jiayao, she…” Shi Jun paused and smiled. “Bah, you’re the one who’s rough. Regardless, your feelings have been reciprocated. Now I’m the one who envies you.”

Just from seeing the increasing number of smiles on his friend’s face, he knew that he was living a blissful life now.

In the past, Wen Yanqing’s eyes were filled with repressed feelings, the pain of unrequited love, and a touch of lingering hurt. Now, these were completely gone.

Wen Yanqing carefully put down the bouquet and turned on his phone.

After tapping a few times, he realized that the person who had said she was going to the bookstore and the mall was now at her home at Yuanshui River.

Little liar, lying to me again.

Wen Yanqing’s eyes were filled with tenderness.

“You’re smiling so happily. Are you talking to Lin Gantang? Ask her to come out and get a few friends over. Let’s celebrate your birthday together?” Shi Jun said.

“No, I’ll spend it with her alone,” Wen Yanqing rejected this with a smile.

Shi Jun cursed to himself.

Now that he has a girlfriend, I’m becoming more and more of an extra.

Shi Jun knew his own limits. After the lunch break was almost over, he left.

For the rest of the time, Wen Yanqing could not help but think of Lin Gantang whenever he could take a breather. He could only concentrate on his work until night time, when he could not wait to go home.

He went home and opened the door.

Upon entering, he realized that the house was as quiet as usual. Wen Yanqing did not know what he was looking forward to.

He put the flowers into a vase and looked inside. “Tangtang?”

“Hey, you’re back? I’m in the kitchen. Are you hungry?” Lin Gantang poked her head out. “I made you a birthday cake. Do you want to try it first?”

“Shouldn’t we first make a wish on a birthday cake?” Wen Yanqing asked with a smile.

Although he said that, Wen Yanqing still did as she said and walked towards the dining table.

He saw a beautiful hazelnut cake, rose petals, and a neat stack of letters.

The letters were stained with a faint woody fragrance.

Wen Yanqing picked up the letter at the top and opened it.

“I don’t remember how many times you confessed to me, but for the rest of my life, my answer will always be yes.”

Wen Yanqing was stunned for a moment before he gently put it down.

“Maybe I don’t express myself well. Maybe I can’t think of a more romantic way, but meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me.”

Wen Yanqing opened one letter after another and read her confessions of love.

“You said that the stars are love letters from the Milky Way to the moon. Then you must be a gift that the world has bestowed upon me.”

His heart was warm and beating rapidly.

“Since I’ve given my love to one person, I’m willing to be generous for the rest of my life. I’m willing to spend the rest of my life with you, knowing each other happily and accompanying each other through thick and thin.”

“In this lifetime, I’ll like you infinitely.”

The 99 love letters that Lin Gantang had written to him.

Wen Yanqing felt a lump in his throat and the corners of his eyes turned red.

He read the letters of love that she had personally penned until he saw the square jewelry box at the end.

His heart trembled.

He picked it up.
