Chapter 655 Blow Candles and Make a Wish?
Old Master Cheng finally looked better. He turned to give Grandpa Li a sideway glance and snorted, looking pleased.
Grandpa Li rubbed his nose. He was just used to attacking him. He realized that the timing was not right and did not continue to talk back.
Su Yayan heaved a sigh of relief and reached out to hold Huo Chenhuan’s hand. Their fingers intertwined.
Huo Chenhuan was stunned, and his tense expression finally eased a little.
Su Yayan could tell that he wasn’t in a good mood, so she didn’t force him to stay in the living room. She chatted with the others before bringing Huo Chenhuan back to their room.
The others did not pay much attention to it. They thought that the couple wanted to have a private conversation and spend their time alone.
They still had a table full of dishes to eat, so they didn’t pay much attention to them.
They had just closed the door when Su Yayan kissed him eagerly. Huo Chenhuan was taken aback, but he quickly reacted and changed the subject.
It had to be said that kissing could really be used as a fire extinguisher at times.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the person who kissed you was also someone you liked. Otherwise, the fire extinguisher might become an oil barrel.
After the kiss, Su Yayan stole a glance at Huo Chenhuan’s expression. She lowered her head and said softly, “I know you don’t like celebrating your birthday. I made the decision on my own today. If you’re angry, you can scold me. Don’t hold it in.”
Huo Chenhuan couldn’t bear to scold Su Yayan. He sighed when he saw Su Yayan’s hair. “When did you start preparing?”
“A week ago.” Su Yayan raised her head and looked at Huo Chenhuan. Her bright eyes were filled with anticipation. “I asked them to buy the decorations and the colorful streamers in the house. I made all the dishes on the table, especially the big cake. It took me a long time to draw the patterns on it…”
Huo Chenhuan’s expression softened when he saw Su Yayan in high spirits, but it was only for a moment.
After a moment of silence, he continued, “How did you know… that it’s my birthday today?”
“Uncle Zhang told me before I came.” Huo Chenhuan pursed his lips and was about to continue when someone knocked on the door.
“Miss Yanyan?”
“It’s here.” Su Yayan recognized Aunt Fang’s voice and hurriedly ran to open the door.
“This is the longevity noodles that I specially made for you. Hurry up and eat it while it’s hot. It will not be nice if you keep it for too long!”
“Longevity Noodles?” Huo Chenhuan stared blankly at the bowl of noodles in Su Yayan’s hands.
“It’s the noodles for your birthday. There’s only one string of noodles in this entire bowl. When you eat later, remember not to break it. Eat from the beginning to the end so that you can receive your blessings.”
Huo Chenhuan listened to Su Yayan’s superstitious lecture and didn’t know what to say.
Su Yayan seemed to have noticed his hesitation. She pouted and said pitifully, “You were unhappy just now. I didn’t even ask you to blow out the candles and make a wish. You should at least eat the noodles now. I pulled the noodles for a long time.”
“Blow out candles and make a wish?”
Su Yayan was stunned. She suddenly recalled that most people in this era didn’t have any special thoughts about birthdays, let alone eating cake and blowing candles to make wishes.
“When your parents were still around, how did you celebrate your birthday every year?”
Huo Chenhuan was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously tightened his grip on his bowl. “They will take a day off to bring me out to play. Then, we will have dinner together.”
