Lu Jinghan entered the elevator and went directly to the intensive care unit. As he pushed the door open, Han Siyu was lying motionless on the bed, gazing at the ceiling above, like a soulless shell.
Upon hearing footsteps, Han Siyu turned her head and moved her lips slightly as she looked at Lu Jinghan: "You came."
Lu Jinghan strode over to the sofa and sat down, playing with a lighter in his hand: "Tell me about Xiao Xi."
Han Siyu shifted slightly, a sweet smile on her lips as she seemed to recall some beautiful memories.
"Xiao Xi is a girl who loves romance. I remember back in high school, she told me that if she ever had a boyfriend or husband, she hoped to receive flowers from him every day and hear the words ’I love you.’
She is very afraid of cats. She’s scared of all furry animals."
Lu Jinghan knew this. The first time Han Xi visited his home, she was frightened by the Persian cat there and clung to herself tightly. Thinking of this brought a faint smile to Lu Jinghan’s lips.
Han Siyu glanced at Lu Jinghan and continued: "This girl loves eating hot pot, braised pork, and seafood... In short, she’s a carnivore. On her birthday, she must have a bowl of longevity noodles. She often said that birthday without longevity noodles doesn’t count, but now that Mom has passed away, no one makes longevity noodles for her anymore."
Talking about this made Han Siyu a bit sentimental. When Wen Qin was alive, she would also make longevity noodles personally for her and treated her just like Han Xi, never showing any favoritism.
Lu Jinghan sat on the sofa, legs crossed, listening quietly from beginning to end, memorizing each word.
Han Siyu raised a hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eye and continued: "This girl has liked men in military uniforms since she was little, especially the special forces in the TV shows. She once said that she would absolutely..."
Realizing she might have said something wrong, Han Siyu swallowed the words that were about to spill out.
Lu Jinghan smiled slightly, his lips parted: "She was absolutely going to do what?"
"Well...I can’t quite remember."
Han Siyu pretended to be forgetful. It was silly enough to mention Xiao Xi’s fondness for special forces in front of Lu Jinghan; she dared not continue.
"Absolutely marry a special forces soldier?"
Lu Jinghan’s distinct fingers gently tapped on the metal lighter, discreetly commenting.
"How do you know?" As soon as Han Siyu spoke, she felt like kicking herself: "Well... you can’t be mad at our Xiao Xi; those were school-time thoughts, innocent and naive."
Lu Jinghan’s smile deepened, even his profound eyes carried amusement.
Seeing that Lu Jinghan wasn’t going to get angry, Han Siyu finally continued: "Xiao Xi is very afraid of thunderstorms. When it thundered at night, she would run to my room with her blanket to sleep, clinging to me like an octopus."
"This girl also said her wedding must be held by the sea, with fireworks filling the night sky, and the honeymoon has to be in Bali Island, and in Japan, to see cherry blossoms."
Han Siyu talked a lot with Lu Jinghan, mostly about Han Xi’s preferences and her vision for the future life.
She hoped Lu Jinghan could fulfill every one of Han Xi’s wishes, no matter how small, even if it’s just saying "I love you" to Han Xi every day.
