Chapter 402 You call this a gift! ?
"Happy birthday!"

As the minute hand of the retro clock on the mobile phone screen crossed the last frame of the number 12, the time came to midnight the next day.

Everyone sitting on the picnic cloth looked at each other, looked at Baiyuan Shiori with understanding, and then said this sentence in unison.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yuan Shizhi pursed her red lips, lowered her eyebrows, and used the night and her hanging black hair to cover her uncontrollable surge of emotions.

In fact, she had prepared herself psychologically early on, and had been hypnotizing herself, telling herself not to lose control of her emotions at this time, and that she should maintain an elegant posture.

But when everyone said those four simple words under the stars, but inexplicably moved her, she still couldn't control her emotions.

Perhaps just as Sister Rina teased her, she was not as 'rational' as she imagined.

"Generally speaking, if it's a birthday, you definitely need a cake."

Kitagawa Teru coughed lightly, raised his eyebrows, and gave Eshima Myo who was standing aside a look of 'that's enough'. The latter nodded silently, stood up, and walked to the side lightly. .

Just now when everyone was enjoying the barbecue, she had quietly brought the cake.

"There are convenient ways to make birthday cakes, and there are also relatively complicated ways to make birthday cakes." Kitagawa Che paused, and calmly glanced at Baiyuan Shiori, who had secretly pricked up his ears and was about to quietly raise his eyes to look at him. “It’s convenient to buy it, but it really lacks some thought.

“Not to mention our two pastry chefs are already eager to try it.

"So, with Linyin and Miao volunteering, they made a..."

Kitagawa Che deliberately pretended to be secretive, and then looked at Bai Yuan Shizhi with a smile on his face.

To his surprise, the girl had raised her head, bit her lower lip gently, and looked at him with a resentful look on her face.

Obviously, this was an expression of dissatisfaction with his betrayal.

"Excellent birthday cake." Kitagawa Che gave Baiyuan Shizhi a look of 'begging for mercy', then turned his head and handed the next words to his fiancée beside him, "The rest, let Rin Let’s talk about the sound.”

"Hey, let me tell you?"

After the words fell, the first person to be stunned was not Toshiro Rina who was looking forward to the show, but Kitagawa Rinne who was gently pulled on her sleeve by Kitagawa Teru.

According to what they discussed, it seems that there is no such link! ?
'bad guy! '

After glaring at someone angrily, no matter how helpless she felt, Beiyuan Rinyin could only take over the conversation and improvise, "Don't listen to this guy Che's nonsense. The cake is so-so." , Strictly speaking, it is definitely incomparable with cakes from cake shops.”

Unlike Beichuan Che, Beiyuan Rinyin is quite self-aware.

The cakes she and Miao made together looked decent, but in reality, they were still far from the cakes sold outside, and did not reach the level of 'excellent' that Kitagawa Che said.

At least in her eyes, it has not reached this level.

"But this is what you did." Baiyuan Shizhi met Beiyuan Linyin's gaze, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a bright look flashed across her beautiful eyes. If she had only [-]% of her ability before, If she is sure, then now, she is very sure. Linyin's attitude towards her can be said to be one step closer than before, "The heart is more important than anything else."

To say something that she thought might be a bit exaggerated, Linyin's various behaviors were telling her that she was not an outsider, but one of her own.

"Here comes the cake~"

Ejima Myo coughed slightly at the right time, then took the unwrapped cake and placed it in the middle of the tablecloth.

After eating the barbecue, she had already packed up the picnic cloth in advance, so it naturally saved a lot of trouble.

"This……"

Under the light of the picnic night light, Rina Toshima, who was also unaware, looked at the cake in the middle of the tablecloth and subconsciously covered her mouth.

You call this normal?
Co-author: You members of the Beichuan family all share the same origin, right?
The main theme is an 'excessive modesty'.

For Shiori Baiyuan who doesn’t like cream very much, Miao and Rinne’s solution was to use chocolate and vegetable cream instead. The black and white birthday cake was decorated with various vivid flowers.

To be honest, if you don't have enough proficiency, you will definitely not be able to do this kind of painting.

Coupled with the plating that looks very high-end at first glance, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no problem at all in selling cakes of this level.

Maybe there is still some gap compared with those top cake shops, but if it is compared with ordinary cake shops, from her perspective, she can't see much difference. "...I think you, Linyin and Miao, are a little too modest."

Baiyuan Shizhi, who was also surprised, took two deep breaths to adjust his excessive emotion.

Before meeting Rinne Hokion and Myo Eshima, she once boasted that she was the best among her peers.

But since getting to know them, her thoughts have unknowingly undergone earth-shaking changes. As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

"Because not enough has been done."

Ejima Miao smiled slightly, her eyes were very sincere.

To her, she really felt that what she did was not quite right.

"Anyway, I think it's already very strong." Kitagawa Che coughed slightly, interrupting the conversation of these girls, "Now, should we get down to business? Sing a birthday song, make a wish, and cut the cake!"

Saying this, Kitagawa Che glanced at Rina Toshima, who immediately nodded and agreed, "I think Che is right."

"..."

Beiyuan Linyin glanced at him helplessly, then shook her head and sighed.

She didn't know what to say.

"Come on then!"

Baiyuan Shizhi didn't think it was anything, and she had a hunch that the reason Kitagawa Che mentioned it like this was because he had something to say.

In fact, it did fulfill her guess.

After singing birthday songs and making wishes, a big box appeared in front of her.

"Here."

Beichuan Che raised his eyebrows.

"Is this a birthday present?"

Although he knew in his heart that he was asking questions knowingly, but instinctively, Bai Yuan Shizhi still asked more questions.

"Ah."

Beichuan Che nodded.

"Thank you." Baiyuan Shizhi took it as if it were a treasure, and then asked eagerly, "Can I open it now?"

She had been thinking about this gift for a long time.

"of course."

Beichuan Che nodded slightly.

Gifts are meant for others. When to open them is Baiyuan Shizhi's business.

After the words fell, except for Ejima Miao who already knew the answer, Hoiuan Rinne and Toshiro Rina all cast curious glances at the box in Bai Yuan Shiori's hand.

With a rustling sound, the box was opened.

And what was placed inside was beyond everyone's expectations.

"This……"

Rina Toshima couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

She can only say that this gift is really very Kitagawa Che's style, and its main focus is practicality.

——That is a beautifully crafted... hibiscus-colored thermos cup.
