Lu Zhi hurriedly patted her back. “Don’t get angry now, he might’ve been delayed by something. Open the door first, Ningning will be here soon. Let’s not make our daughter unhappy.”
Shen Yunci was incensed, but she did not say anything else.
Gu Chen and Gu Zi looked at each other in silence.
“Sister, the shape of this leaf is so strange.”
Lu Ning watched as he picked up another leaf and could not help but giggle.
lt’s a little strange, but it’s also very pretty.”
Lu Jingzhi nodded and held her hand with a smile. The two of them slowly walked home.
During this time, Lu Jingzhi looked up at the window of their house; the light was on.
He smiled and did not pick up any more leaves, and simply followed Lu Ning all the way home.
When they reached the house, Lu Ning knocked on the door.
“Mom, Dad, we’re back.”
But no one answered.
Lu Jingzhi glanced at her. “Sister, the door doesn’t seem to be locked.”
Lu Ning raised her hand and twisted the doorknob; it really was unlocked.
However, when she opened the door it was pitch-black inside.
“Mom, Dad?”
Lu Ning had only taken one step into the house when it suddenly lit up. A warm, yellow light shone over from the dining room.
It also illuminated the decorations all around her—colorful birthday decorations adorned the walls, while the roof brimmed with balloons floating above her.
Lu Ning was floored. She was rooted to the ground, having no idea of what to do.
Her eyes were tinged red as she gawked at Shen Yunci, Lu Zhi, Gu Chen, and
Gu Zi standing in front of the cafeteria table.
On the dining table was a birthday cake filled with candles.
Lu Jingzhi gently tugged at Lu Nings hand.
Lu Ning came back to her senses and looked down at him.
“Sister, happy birthday.”
He pulled Lu Ning over and stood in front of the table.
Shen Yunci went over and hugged Lu Ning. “It’s our darlings first birthday at home. Mommy hopes that you can continue to grow up healthy and happy. Mommy and Daddy will always be supporting you from behind.”
Lu Nings eyes watered as she looked at Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi. “Thank you,
Mom and Dad.”
Shen Yunci also wiped her own tears, and Lu Zhi’s eyes turned red.
“Quick, make a wish.”
Lu Ning closed her eyes, put her palms together, and made a wish in front of the cake.
M/hen she opened her eyes, tears rolled down her cheeks. She smiled at Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci. “Mom, Dad, I’m very happy.”
She looked down at Lu Jingzhi and squatted down to rub his head. She smiled and said to him, “Thank you, Jingzhi.”
Lu Jingzhi wiped her tears and opened his arms wide to hug her.
Shen Yunci smiled as she wiped her tears, and asked her to blow out the candles.
Only after she had blown out the candles did they realize they had forgotten about the birthday song.
The few of them circled around her and sang her happy birthday.
Lu Ning stood in the middle and was all smiles—this was the first time she had experienced a birthday celebration for her in person.
Just as they finished singing, someone knocked on the door.
M/hen they opened the door, they realized that it was their neighbors.
“What are you guys doing here?”
Shen Yunci looked at them in surprise.
“We heard that Ningnings being discharged today, and on top of that it’s also her birthday, so of course we’re here to celebrate! I even prepared some longevity noodles. Ningning, have you had them?”
“Not yet. I haven’t even cut the cake.”
“Then hurry up and cut the cake.”
About a dozen people came in, all rowdy and boisterous, and the house was almost full.
Lu Ning greeted them one by one; everyone wished Lu Ning a happy birthday and urged her to quickly cut the cake and give it out.
Lu Ning chuckled as she answered them, and went to cut the cake. As she cut it up, she gave a slice to everyone. The children happily stuffed their cheeks, while the grown-ups stood by the side and laughed.
Lu Ning looked around the room filled with people. Everyone was smiling, and had come for her sake.
There was a smile on Lu Nings face as a gentle warmth flowed through her chest.
