Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At that time, he thought that he would never celebrate his birthday again. He was not happy at all. It was not good at all.
But looking at the smiling faces of the three closest people in front of him, Gu Yunshu suddenly choked.
Gu Yundong quickly handed the cake in her hand to Shao Qingyuan and squatted down to rub his head. “Everyone is looking at you. You can’t cry.”
“Big Sister, I am, I am…” He thought that he only needed to eat a bowl of longevity noodles. He did not expect Big Sister to put in so much effort. He was really happy.
“Big Sister, you’re so good. I’m so happy to be your younger brother.”
Gu Yundong was also very happy. She still remembered how he looked when she first came. He was skinny and had a big head. He was obviously very tired, but he still wanted to take on the responsibility of the entire family. He wanted to cry, but he smiled at her desperately as if it was not difficult at all as long as his family was by his side.
At first, Gu Yundong thought that as long as Madam Yang and the other two did not drag her down, she would do her best to protect them and let them grow up safely.
When did it start? She had been paying attention to the three of them and always wanted to give them the best. The warmth that surged from the depths of her heart seemed to have changed her a lot. She had really felt the feelings between her family and she would subconsciously repay them.
“I’m also very happy that you’re my younger brother.”
She led Yunshu to a stool at the side and sat down. She took the cake from Shao Qingyuan again and placed it on the table in front of him.
Then, she met his puzzled gaze and smiled. “This is the birthday cake I told you about. Come, close your eyes and make three wishes. Then, blow out the candles. Your wishes will come true.”
Gu Yunshu’s eyes lit up. His eyes, which had just been washed with tears, were especially lively. “Really?”
“Just make the wishes.”
He immediately closed his eyes obediently. “My first wish is…”
“You don’t have to say it out.”
He made a new wish. He was very pious in his heart. His first wish was to find his father as soon as possible and have a family reunion. His second wish was for his mother’s illness to be cured quickly. His third wish was for his family to be safe and happy forever.
After that, he opened his eyes.
Gu Yunshu did not know that his first wish would soon come true.
Gu Yundong saw that he had opened his eyes and was about to ask him to blow out the candles when she saw that the little girl beside him was also making a wish with her eyes closed. She immediately smiled and simply waited for her until she opened her eyes in satisfaction. Only then did she ask Gu Yunshu to blow out the candles.
The cake was sweet and rare. Gu Yundong saw that there were a lot of people, so she made two big pieces. At this moment, each of them cut a small piece and ate it.
Not to mention the others, even Shao Qingyuan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
This cake… He had made it before, but it was not easy to make cream.
The group was in a good mood. Gu Yunshu ate the longevity noodles that he had been longing for. No one fought with him. After all, they were already full from eating everything else.
At night, they even agreed to walk around the village to digest their food and send Niu Dan home. They walked around the village before returning to the Gu residence.
Gu Yundong arranged rooms for everyone. As everyone was small, it was not a problem for a few people to share a room.
Under the warm blanket that emitted the smell of sunlight, everyone still felt like they were dreaming.
Gu Yunshu’s birthday was too special.
The next day, Gu Yundong prepared cans for each of Yunshu’s classmates as a return gift. This time, they each gave Yunshu a gift. It was not considered expensive, but it represented their good will.
Then, she sent them to the carriages and got someone to ride them back to school.
When the carriage left and she returned to the Gu family, she saw Shao Qingyuan standing at the entrance of the Shao family’s house and talking to the Zheng family’s escort. He seemed to have a difficult expression..
