Chapter 273 This is a secret; it won't work if I tell.
Make a wish quickly!
Those two simple sentences sent a surge of heat through his chest.
Unexpectedly, she remembered his birthday.
A smile, both surprised and gentle, appeared on his lips.
Her eyes turned to the right and met the entire crew. Director Liu, Lu Yunjie, Zhao Yunlin, Jiang Xing, and... all the crew members, even Ningning's parents were there.
They all looked at him with smiles on their faces, their expressions full of blessings.
Suddenly, a surge of emotion welled up inside him. He lowered his eyes, trying his best to control his emotions.
"Good~"
He closed his eyes, raised his hands to his chest, clasped them together, and began to make a wish.
After a while, he opened his eyes, bent down slightly, and moved his head toward the small candles, forming an "O" shape with his mouth, and blew out the small candles that had been lit one by one.
Almost the instant Ji Shiyan blew out the candles, some people applauded, while others ran to turn on the lights. The space, which had just darkened, was brightened again the moment the light switch was pressed.
"Quick, cut the cake!"
Lu Yining stood beside Ji Shiyan, explaining the process.
Unnoticed by anyone, she swallowed almost imperceptibly, her eyes flashing with longing.
I've been wanting to eat this cake for ages! It looks so delicious!
Ji Shiyan: I couldn't help but rub my forehead and smile wryly...
Little glutton!
Under Lu Yining's expectant gaze, Ji Shiyan took the knife and began to cut into the cake. His knife skills were impeccable; even when cutting a cake, each stroke was precise, fast, and even, without compromising the aesthetics.
He gave the first piece of cake to Lu Yining before continuing to cut the cake and distribute it to the others.
"Okay, okay, I can cut it myself."
After observing for a while, Jiang Xinghe stepped forward and spoke.
"There's no reason why the birthday person should be busy all the time and not get to eat cake."
"When the birthday person cuts the cake, just cut a couple of pieces, that's enough. You can't keep cutting it."
Upon hearing this, many of the people waiting to eat the cake blushed.
He's so self-aware...
How can those who are waiting to get a slice of the pie feel about this?
Ji Shiyan wasn't one to insist on cutting the cake, and besides, he considered himself to have cut plenty of pieces already. Since someone was willing to share the task, he naturally didn't mind entrusting it to him.
So he cut a piece for himself and then handed the knife to Jiang Xinghe, letting them cut it themselves.
He followed Lu Yining and leisurely walked to another quiet spot, where he found a place to sit down.
"Shi Yan, what did you wish for just now?" Lu Yining asked curiously.
He seems to lack nothing, and now he has such a perfect woman by his side. If he were to make a wish, what else could he ask God for?
Lu Yining looked at him hopefully, instinctively feeling that he would definitely tell her the wish she had made.
However… after waiting patiently for a long time, what she received was…
"It's a secret; if you tell me, it won't work."
Lu Yining: "..."
Wasn't this guy someone who wasn't superstitious before? Didn't he believe in these things? Why is he suddenly afraid of this and that now when you ask him?
"Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't."
She didn't seem too disappointed.
After all, she wasn't very insistent on fulfilling Ji Shiyan's wishes.
She was just a tiny bit curious.
It's okay if you don't listen.
"Let's eat the cake first. After we finish, I have something to tell you."
Lu Yining composed herself and spoke to him earnestly.
Perhaps it was because her expression was too serious, Ji Shiyan's heart sank.
"What is it?"
"It's nothing serious, you don't need to be so serious." Lu Yining waved her hand, then scooped out a piece of cake and put it in her mouth to taste.
"Eat first, then we'll talk."
Upon hearing this, Ji Shiyan had no choice but to temporarily give up asking further questions.
After finishing one piece, Lu Yining said, "How about another one?"
Ji Shiyan: "Okay, I'll cut it into pieces for you."
Five minutes later.
"One more?"
"Row."
Five minutes later.
"or……"
This time, Ji Shiyan understood before Lu Yining could speak.
He immediately asked, "Would you like another one?"
"Bingo!"
This cake is absolutely delicious! It's sweet but not cloying. I feel like I could show off the entire tier of cake!
Ji Shiyan glanced at Lu Yining's stomach.
"If you're full, you can cut a few pieces first and take them home to eat later. Or you can eat them a little later, just don't overeat."
This cake is quite filling; he just ate two pieces and already feels a bit full.
Ningning, however, plans to have another one.
He was genuinely worried that she would overeat and ruin her stomach.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yining froze for two seconds, her expression looking incredibly cute and innocent.
She gave a soft "Huh?" and asked, "Why would it break? I feel fine."
I was born with two stomachs. One for meals, and another for snacks like cake.
[Besides, I really feel like I can never get full from eating cake, and I never get tired of it!]
[I once single-handedly devoured a whole four-person cake!]
After showing off, I felt okay, not really full or stuffy, just... just right.
So, these two or three pieces of cake are nothing at all; they wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.
Ji Shiyan:Σ(?д?|||)??
You are awesome!
"Okay, I'll go cut the cake for you now."
Two minutes later, Ji Shiyan returned to Lu Yining's side.
This time, he wasn't holding a single cake, but three whole cakes.
He placed the three cakes on the table.
"Eat up, I'll satisfy you!"
He only said that because he was worried she'd overeat and get a stomachache. Since she's so good at showing off, then it's fine, let her keep eating.
Of course, I should satisfy my girlfriend's desires!
After eating three slices of cake, Lu Yining stopped eating, touched her round belly, and thought it looked just like a soccer ball.
Ji Shiyan stared at her stomach, pondered for several seconds, and then parted his thin lips slightly. However, what he said made Lu Yining want to beat him to death.
"She looks like she's about a month pregnant..."
Lu Yining broke down...
She pointed at Ji Shiyan with her finger: "You're rude! You have no manners! How can you talk like that!"
What they said was really unpleasant to hear!
Individually, the words are alright, but when put together, they make her want to punch someone!
It's truly incomprehensible how someone so good-looking could have such a foul mouth.
