Chapter 1250: In One Bite
“I remember having a cheap cupcake on my birthday in the orphanage. It’s tiny with no cream or fruit cupping, and the cake itself is dry and chewy with a sickening sweetness that makes my tongue numb.”
“Yeah.” Qing Ling had had cakes like that before.
Gao Yang looked at the cream cake on his paper plate. “I ate a cupcake and made a wish to find my mom and dad. Then I woke up to a family.”
He looked up at his companions, watching them eat their slices of cake. “I’m in no place to make complaints. I had nothing, then God gave me everything. God simply took it back when it was time. It was a trial period of happiness.”
Having finished her slice, Qing Ling licked the cream from her fingertip and said in an icy tone, “Lousy analogy.”
Gao Yang turned to her.
“I don’t know about anything else, but I’m not part of your trial period. I’m myself. I alone can decide if I’m going to stay by your side or leave you.”
Gao Yang blinked at her.
Qing Ling took the cake from him. “I’m having this if you’re not.”
Gao Yang smiled apologetically. “You’re right. I was too full of myself.”
“You’re just tired. You should eat and sleep more.” Qing Ling got a spoonful of cake topped with cream and a blueberry. She shoved it toward Gao Yang’s mouth and ordered, “Finish it in one bite.”
