Something Sweet

Who is it?

Why did that man's silhouette look like Ye Mufan? Li Ji An's eyes followed until the man disappeared from her sight. Is that possibly Ye Mufan?

"What's wrong, sis?"

"I thought I saw Ye Mufan." Li Ji An replied subconsciously.

Ye Mufan again?

"Where is he?" Li Junxu followed Li Ji An's point of view, trying to find out the figure of the man his sisterr mentioned.

Who exactly is Ye Mufan? Why did her sister keep saying his name and even said she was going to marry him?

"I'm sorry, maybe I was just hallucinating." LI Ji An chose to give up and not confuse Li Junxu.

Could it be that Ye Mufan also exists in this world? Everything that Li Ji An knew was available in this world as well, only they existed with different exposures. For example like her name, people don't call her Li Ji An here but Li Si An.

What if it's just a name problem?

It is possible that Li Si An also knows the figure of Ye Mufan here. It's just a different name. Li Ji An had to be discharged from the hospital immediately to find out.

...

Su Yu returned to visit Li Si An at the south side recovery center in the afternoon.

There was a bouquet of fresh lavender flowers in his hand. Even though love was not the main foundation of their marriage, Su Yu still had a memory of this flower with Li Si An's favorite scent.

Of course Su Yu was aware of this. Lavender flower pots are scattered in every corner of the room in their house. The flower is definitely Li Si An's favorite. If not then why she display it so much?

"Brother Su, you came!" Li Junxu pushed Li Ji An's wheelchair harder so he could reach the ward faster.

Li Junxu and Li Ji An had just returned from the garden when Su Yu arrived.

"I thought you were in roim," Su Yu stood in front of the door to Li Ji An's room, not expecting to see that woman outside.

"Brother Yu, I thought you couldn't visit. My sister missed you a lot. She was bored to death and asked me to take her around, so I took her out."

Li Junxu explained before Su Yu commented any further. He knew Su Yu was probably still worried about his brother's condition.

"Wow, Sister Si. Look what Brother Yu brought you." Li Junxu looked at the large bouquet in Su Yu's hand and teased Li Ji An.

Su Yu had wanted to hide his gift first, but he had already been caught carrying a large bouquet of lavender flowers

"This is for you." Su Yu handed the lavender bouquet to Li Si An.

Li Ji An accepted it confusedly as if it was the first time she had seen lavender flowers.

"The flowers are very fragrant. Lavender is my sister's favorite. Brother Yu, you are indeed my brother-in-law."

Lavender does smell good but Li Ji An is not too sure if she likes flowers. Ye Mufan almost never gave Li Ji An flowers, he was more than happy when he received cakes and chocolates.

"Thank you." Li Ji An accepted it and just put the flower on her lap looking not at all interested.

Her reaction wasn't what Su Yu or Li Junxu had expected.

Just like that? Su Yu really wanted to ask whether Li Ji An liked the flowers or not but his ego refused to speak.

"Ah, it seems like I'm starting hungry." Li Junxu broke the silence that was suddenly created after Ji An received the flower.

"Brother Yu, I'll leave jie-jie to you. I'll go buy afternoon tea and other snacks. Is there something you would like to eat too?"

"Chocolate…" Li Ji An spoke quickly, even though the one asked was Su Yu.

"Sisterr do you want chocolate?"

"Yeah, I want chocolate cake or anything with thick chocolate."

A week in the south side hospital left Li Ji An's tongue feeling bland. She missed the taste of chocolate that melted in her mouth.

"Are you allowed to eat food like that?"

Li Ji An bent her face as Li Junxu seemed to object to her request. "Go, don't try to come back if there's no chocolate for me."

Li Junxu didn't know his sister could act cutely after all these years. She sulked just over a piece of chocolate cake. How long has it been?

"All right, sis. I'll come back with a pan of chocolate."

"Hmm," Li Ji An seemed reluctant to answer Junxu after being tricked by the boy.

So Li Ji An was left with Su Yu.

"I didn't know you liked chocolate cake." Su Yu commented after Li Ji An climbed into the patient bed.

The woman ignored a bouquet of lavender that Su Yu brought and looked very excited to ask to buy a piece of chocolate cake. Does it mean that Su Yu chose the wrong flower?

Why didn't Su Yu think of bringing Li Si An a piece of chocolate cake?

"Haven't I always liked sweet things?"

Li Ji An wasn't sure how to start a conversation with Su Yu. The man always made her feel scared and intimidated by her gaze.
