n“Alright, it’s time to cut the cake.” When Mother Shi saw that it was almost time, she got someone to bring the cake up.

n

nShi Xi looked around and asked, “Where’s Ning Yu?”

n

nToday was their birthday!

n

nBut looking at the situation, it seemed like this birthday was held for her alone.

n

nMother Shi frowned unhappily. “She was here just now. Why did she disappear?”

n

nShi Xi said, “I’ll go look for her.”

n

n“Wait, the cake is here. Let’s cut the cake first before looking for her.” Shi stopped Shi Xi.

n

nWhat was the point of looking for Ning Yu after cutting the cake!!

n

nJust as Shi Xi was about to speak, the lights dimmed, and a happy birthday song sounded on the stage.

n

nThe crowd automatically split into two rows, and everyone watched as the five-layer cake was brought in.

n

nShi Xi looked over in surprise.

n

nFirst, she was surprised at the size of the cake. The five-layer cake was almost taller than a person, and there were 18 candles on it.

n

nSecond, she was surprised at the person pushing the cake!

n

nWho could tell her when Tao Yuxuan was back?!

n

nThe person pushing the cake in was none other than the female cannon fodder, Tao Yuxuan, who was supposed to be flirting with handsome guys overseas.

n

nTao Yuxuan was wearing a long blue dress. She was pushing the five layers of the exquisite cake as she slowly walked in. When she saw Shi Xi’s surprised expression, she was very pleased. “Surprise! You’re surprised, right?!”

n

nShi Xi: “It’s quite a surprise.”

n

nBut it was more of a bad surprise.

n

nTao Yuxuan chuckled. “I’ll definitely rush back for your birthday. Hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles!”

n

nShi Xi was no longer in the mood to think about where Ning Yu was.

n

nNing Yu would probably appear soon in places where Tao Yuxuan was.

n

nShi Xi pressed her palms together, closed her eyes, and made a sincere wish on the cake:

n

n‘Please, let me live in peace! Let me have a peaceful birthday party!’

n

n‘God, Jesus, Bodhisattva, Buddha, and other gods, please help me!’

n

nAfter making the wish, Shi Xi wanted to blow out the candles in one breath.

n

nHowever, with such a big cake, 18 candles were inserted into it, and Shi Xi only blew out three candles in one breath.

n

nShe almost gasped for breath.

n

nAfter blowing out all the candles, the lights in the hall lit up. Shi Xi picked up the cake knife and began to cut the first piece.

n

nIn such a grand scene, Ning Yu walked in from outside in short sleeves and long pants.

n

nSeeing that a piece of the birthday cake had been cut, Ning Yu pursed her lips slightly and lowered her cold eyes, not saying a word.

n

nShi Xi stood on the steps and cut the cake. As if they had a tacit understanding, she looked up at the door and happened to meet Ning Yu’s eyes.

n

n“Xi Xi?” Tao Yuxuan was stunned for a moment when she saw Shi Xi. She followed her gaze and saw Ning Yu who had just entered.

n

n“Eh? It’s Ning Yu!” Tao Yuxuan had never given Ning Yu a good look. She lifted her chin slightly and said arrogantly, “Today is Xi Xi’s birthday. What birthday gift did you prepare?”

n

nShi Xi knew that it was about to start when she heard Tao Yuxuan’s provocative words.

n

nNing Yu’s gaze fell on Tao Yuxuan. Her eyes were as cold as ice. “What did you give her?”

n

n“I made this cake with my own hands!” Tao Yuxuan found a way to show off. “I baked the bread, whipped the butter, and even the flowers on it! I also wrote the happy birthday on it!”

n

nThe most precious thing was the time of the rich and the money of the poor.

n

nTao Yuxuan was willing to spend time to make such a big cake. It was enough to show that she truly regarded Shi Xi as a good friend.

n

nShi Xi: “…When did you come back?”

n

n“That’s not the point.” Tao Yuxuan looked at Ning Yu with an expression as if she was looking at a joke. “You didn’t prepare a gift, did you?”

n
