Chapter 314 - 289: Cat Enthusiast
Lu Shishu stared blankly at him for a good while before coming back to his senses, hurriedly pulling his hand out of his grasp. Due to the large movement, he almost dropped the cake on the ground, but fortunately, Nan Jiayan reached out with his other hand to steady it, conveniently encircling her in his embrace.That familiar scent hitting his face made Lu Shishu a little uncomfortable. She immediately slipped out from under his arm, gave him a cold glare, and turned to leave the kitchen.
Nan Jiayan carried the cake alone to a tall table in the kitchen that they had prepared beforehand. Lu Xize looked at the cake and couldn’t help but marvel, "Who bought this cake? It’s pretty!"
"Ha, it’s not every day you hear compliments from your mouth about me," Yun Xi snorted disdainfully, pouting and mocking.
"Did you buy it?"
"Who else could it be?"
"Hmm... looking at it now, it’s just okay, not that impressive."
Yun Xi chuckled incredulously, then rolled her eyes, glaring at him in anger, "You better not eat it later. If you do, you’ll be calling me Grandma."
"Ha, it’s just a lousy cake, who cares about eating it, as if I haven’t had cake before."
"Hmm, well said, now that’s the spirit."
Seeing the two of them about to brawl, Yu Feici clapped her hands and changed the topic, "Shi Shu, why don’t you cut the cake? If you don’t, these two are surely going to fight."
Lu Shishu chuckled, carefully taking off the transparent lid from the cake. Cen Jin also got up, went over, folded the birthday crown inside, and gently placed it on Lu Shishu’s head. Leaning back, she smiled brightly, "Looks quite nice, haha, light the candles, Shi Shu, make a wish!"
After they lit the candles, Lu Shishu pressed his hands together, closed his eyes, silently made a wish in his heart, blew out the candles, and started to cut the cake.
As everyone ate the cake, Yun Xi eyed Lu Xize who resolutely refused to eat, laughed coldly, and suddenly thought of something. A mischievous smile appeared on her lips as she walked over casually with her plate of cake, and as she passed by Lu Xize, she unexpectedly smashed the cake onto his face.
"Pfft... hahaha," Yu Feici burst into laughter at the sight, nearly choking on the cake in her mouth.
"Tsk..." Cen Jin looked over and couldn’t hold back her laughter either.
As for the culprit, she laughed without restraint, wisely staying away from the trouble zone in the kitchen, clutching her stomach and laughing, "So, Lu Xize, how does it taste? This cake cost me a fortune, you should taste it, give Sha Shu, the birthday person, some face."
"Yun Xi, you little brat, just you wait." At the moment the cake was smashed into his face, Lu Xize was somewhat dumbfounded, but hearing their laughter made his face turn green. He wiped his face with one hand, picked up the untouched cake in front of him, and chased after Yun Xi.
Yun Xi, not being a fool, made a face at him and then ran around to dodge him. As she passed by Ye Lingran, Yun Xi accidentally kicked the leg of a chair, stumbled, and fell directly towards Lu Xize. Caught off guard, Lu Xize instinctively reached out his unoccupied hand to catch her, completely ignoring the cake in his other hand. As he caught Yun Xi and fell backward due to the momentum, the cake in his hand flew out. Ye Lingran, seeing Yun Xi fall, instinctively reached out to support her, only for the cake to land on one side of her face.
As Lu Xize caught Yun Xi and fell to the ground, time seemed to freeze. Ye Lingran’s hand hovered in mid-air, her body stiffened, her eyes widened, and she was at a complete loss.
Everyone gaped at this scene, momentarily forgetting to react.
"Hiss, when are you going to get off, planning to crush me forever?" Lu Xize grimaced, shaking his hand in pain, glaring at Yun Xi who was still in a daze on top of him, and couldn’t help but yell.
Yun Xi suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing she was sitting on Lu Xize’s leg. Her heart skipped a beat and pounded twice as she quickly got up from him awkwardly, then spotted the cake on Ye Lingran, and noticed the missing cake in Lu Xize’s hand, instantly understanding what had happened.
"Ling Ran, are you okay?" Yun Xi walked over, looking at her with guilt.
Ye Lingran raised a hand to brush off the cake on her face. Lu Shishu quickly handed tissues over, and Yun Qi conveniently took a few tissues to give her, softly asking, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
