He listened and ate the cake, but he couldn’t taste it anymore.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he had never had such a lively birthday.

The noisy voice in his ears brought him back from his memories –

“Awesome, what is Xiaochi’s house like? I’m so looking forward to it!”

“Xiaochi’s birthday party will be great!”

“Xiaochi, Xiaochi…”

Zhu Chi, surrounded by children and listening to their blessings, held a stack of small card with both hands to cover his face, the tips of my ears were extremely red.

And Zhang Yu is having a fierce inner struggle.

On the one hand, he couldn’t bear to lose face and join surrounding Zhu Chi like a bunch of childish brats, but on the other hand, he was depressed because he was the only one who didn’t get the invitation card.

He crossed his arms and thought arrogantly that he didn’t care about this kind of thing.

He has something like a birthday party every year, and it is definitely much grander than Zhu Chi family’s.

That’s right, he doesn’t care at all!

At this moment, his shoulder was lightly poked.

Zhang Yu smelled a very light milk fragrance.

Zhu Chi handed the last small card out with both hands, with a little nervousness hidden in his clear and innocent eyes: “This is for you.”

Zhang Yu looked slightly startled and took a long time to react.

Finally, he shouted with joy in his heart: Me! I have one too!

He took the card, coughed lightly and said, “There’s really nothing I can do about you. Since you want to invite me so much, I’ll reluctantly go and celebrate your birthday with you.”

At this time, Song Chenyi, who was standing aside, took the card from his hand. He pulled out the invitation card and said with a bad smile: “Since it’s so reluctant, I won’t make it difficult for you.”

Zhang Yu stiffened for a moment, and when he reacted, his hair suddenly exploded, like an eagle catching a chicken, trying hard to be captured by Song Chenyi. The card was taken away by the bully.

The class burst into laughter and didn’t stop for a long time.

…..

The eve of the birthday party.

Zhang Yu brought a few younger brothers to pick out gifts for Zhu Chi.

He stood in front of the tall shelves, crossed his arms confidently, and chuckled.

Adhering to the principle that it is better to choose alone than to choose among others, Zhang Yu believes that as long as he brings enough people and gathers the wisdom of everyone, he will definitely be able to choose a gift that satisfies Zhu Chi.

A younger brother next to him asked him: “Zhang Yu, what kind of gift do you want to choose?”

By the way, Zhang Yu once believed that as the eldest brother, he led a group of younger brothers and must have a very domineering name.

A younger brother who has watched a lot of TV dramas suggested that it would be better to add a brother after his name, so that he would look very high-end and classy.

So they yelled “Brother Zhang Yu, Brother Zhang Yu” for many days. The more they yelled, the more something was wrong. They always thought of a certain cartoon with a yellow sponge as the protagonist.

Brother Zhang Yu’s name was thus abolished.

Hearing the younger brother’s question, Zhang Yu’s face turned red, and then he turned his head and said duplicity: “It’s not for a particularly important friend, just a similar small gift will do.”

The younger brothers suddenly realized.

So they scanned the shelves, and finally, their eyes settled on a three-dimensional fairy tale book.

Compared with simple fairy tale books, today’s three-dimensional books are obviously more popular. As long as you turn the pages of the book, there will be a beautiful castle standing in front of you, which makes people think about it.

Just thinking about it, he feels that this kind of dreamy thing must be very suitable for Zhu Chi.

Zhang Yu’s eyes lit up.

This is it!

Just as he was about to reach out to get it, the younger brother next to him started talking about it:

“If he is not a particularly important friend. It’s too much to give something like this.”

“What do you know? Zhang Yu must just have a look, right?” Yeah.”

“That’s right, it must be just for a look.”

Hearing what they said, Zhang Yu retracted his hand that he was about to stretch out, and concealed it in an unnatural tone: “Yes… yes, it’s just to pose a look of my lifestyle.”

Finally, the boys helped Zhang Yu choose a bag of ordinary building blocks.

Zhang Yu was obviously not satisfied, but he didn’t say anything more and walked out of the supermarket without saying a word after paying the bill.

When the boys had had enough playing outside and were about to go home, Zhang Yu came to the supermarket shelves alone. He looked left and right and saw no one he knew, so he took down the pop-up book with confidence and smiled.

….

On the other side, Jiang Nuo used his saved pocket money to buy the pen he had chosen last time, intending to give it to Zhu Chi as a birthday present.

Uncle Wang was answering the phone in the living room, Prince Wei was playing with his Transformers in the toy room, and Auntie was in the room putting on makeup for the upcoming shopping trip.

Jiang Nuo was lying on the table, fiddling with the automatic pen with the hamster lying on it, thinking about whether to tie a bow on it.

At this moment, Uncle Wang who was in the living room suddenly called him: “Xiao Jiang, come here.”

For some reason, his tone was much gentler and kinder than before.

Jiang Nuo frowned slightly and walked towards him with a little doubt.

When he walked to Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang handed him the phone and said, “This is from your dad.”

Jiang Nuo was stunned.

Ever since his father sent him to a relative’s house, he rarely made phone calls here.

He took the phone, his throat rolled, and he said stiffly: “Hello?”

Jiang’s father’s voice came from the other side: “Jiang Nuo, dad is back.”

He paused, and his tone could not hide his excitement: “Dad’s career, it finally worked.”
