“Happy birthday to you…” Yang Yi hummed his birthday song again and slowly pushed the cake over.

“It"s coming, it"s coming!” When Xixi saw her father, she wasn"t afraid anymore. She cheered and circled around her father, wanting to see what the big cake looked like.

Mo Fei was worried that she might b.u.mp into something in the dark, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, “Don’t run around, wait for your father to ready it!”

In the middle of the place, surrounded by flashing lights, Mo Fei and Xixi finally saw what the cake looked like.

It was worthy of the more than 10,000-yuan price for a customized order!

The cake was made into the shape of a castle, and it was also a castle on the mountain, using a mapping technique. Small trees made of chocolate and fruit covered the cake, reflecting the height of the castle.

Mo Fei frowned as she looked at the cake. A lonely castle stood alone on the top of the mountain covered with snow.

“What do you mean by this? Why did you order a cake like this?” Mo Fei thought that birthday cake should not be such a dark theme.

Only Xixi could understand the meaning of this lonely castle, because Yang Yi has drawn similar pictures for her before, telling Xixi that when Elsa escaped from the crowd, she lived in such an icy castle, accompanied by Olaf^[2].

Four candles representing Xixi’s fourth birthday were placed very carefully. Two candles were placed on the castle, and the flickering candlelight lit up the figure of Sister Elsa, who was staring at the direction of her hometown.

The blue dress like ice crystal told Xixi her ident.i.ty, although it couldn"t be made of cake. It was just a small wooden figurine, carved by Yang Yi, that was colored with food coloring by the cake shop"s cake master.

Similarly, Anna, who was seen in the forest below the castle, was also a small wooden figurine. The red cloak revealed her ident.i.ty. The two other candles were inserted on her sleigh.

It was originally an easter egg^[3]. There was no candle near it to illuminate it, but it was still the first thing Xixi discovered.

“Do you like this cake? Papa spent a lot of time getting people to make it!” Yang Yi laughed and picked up the little girl so that she could see the cake from a better angle.

“I like it! This is Sister Elsa"s castle!” Xixi was so happy that she didn’t know what words to say.

Mo Fei looked at the cake for a moment, and Yang Yi and her daughter for a while, feeling confused.

Why would they like such a dark theme cake? Is there any story behind this that I don’t know? Sister Elsa and Anna… Mo Fei often heard Xixi say these names, but she didn’t ask.

Mo Fei made up her mind that when Xixi had played enough and went to sleep at night, she would ask Yang Yi about it.

“Come on, first make a wish, then blow out the candles. After blowing out the candles, you can eat the cake!” Yang Yi said to Xixi.

The little girl knew what to do when making a wish. She quickly put her hands together, closed her eyes, and muttered in a low voice.

Yang Yi and Mo Fei didn"t speak. In this quiet environment, Xixi’s voice clearly reached their ears: "Xixi wishes that Papa and Mama can always be by Xixi"s side. Always. Xixi doesn’t want them to not be together…"

Mo Fei froze for a moment. She subconsciously raised her head and happened to make eye contact with Yang Yi.

This time, the two of them didn"t avert their eyes. They just stood quietly, looking at each other. In the dark, it was hard to see each other’s expressions and thoughts, but the candlelight reflected in their eyes was clearly visible.

After Xixi made a wish and blew out the candle, Yang Yi also turned on the incandescent lamp.

In the bright light, such a frozen-themed cake looked even more beautiful.

“Don’t you want to know what I wish for?” It was unclear when, but at some point, a bit of frosting was rubbed on Xixi’s nose, probably when show blow out the candles. Mo Fei wiped her with a paper towel, and the little girl said in a loud voice.

“Your wish won"t come true if you say it.” Mo Fei said affectionately, pinching the little girl"s nose funnily.

“Then I won"t say it!” Xixi hurriedly covered her mouth. She didn’t know that her parents had already heard her wish.

For such a big cake, It was naturally impossible for three people to finish it. Yang Yi cut a few pieces on the edge and divided them into three parts without touching the castle. Now Xixi was most concerned about the castle. She didn"t allow his father use his knife on it, and only allowed him to cut the forest below.

However, these three serving were enough. Xixi ate the most, but she was just a little girl. She just ate snacks just now. She couldn"t eat much and her stomach was already full, but her little head was still looking in the direction of the big cake.

Yang Yi has never been very interested in cakes, so he simply ate a few bites. He saw Mo Fei removing the frosting out of the cake and eating only the bread below, he smiled and said, “You"re not eating the frosting, you still need to lose weight?”

Life is so difficult, some things didn"t need to be exposed. Mo Fei glared at Yang Yi angrily. As a star, she has to keep her figure under control. Otherwise, how could she not like the frosting?

“Cough, I’m not making fun of you. I’m just saying, I’ll get you something to eat later, and we’ll eat together.” Yang Yi explained clumsily.

Mo Fei suddenly reached out her hand and touched Yang Yi’s face.

Yang Yi’s body stiffened. He did not understand why Mo Fei, who had always kept her distance, would suddenly made such an intimate action.

But he soon understood. He reached out and wiped his face. It was a frosting.

At this moment, Mo Fei giggled and gave Yang Yi a playful look.

“Good!” Yang Yi deliberately lifted the plate in his hand, which also contained some cake and frosting. Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to throw it. It was just to scare Mo Fei.

The latter quickly turned around and slipped away, and only after confirming that Yang Yi had not thrown it at her, did she laugh from a distance.

Mo Fei was in a really good mood today and she laughed out loud. Perhaps the number of times she has laughed today was almost equal to the number of times she has laughed in the past half a year?

After that, it was time to open the presents!

“Yang Yi, where’s your present?” Mo Fei took out a box with beautiful b.u.t.terfly ribbons, shook it proudly at Yang Yi and said.

Yang Yi has been prepared for a long time. He took out a long box from behind the bar. Although it had no beautiful decoration, it was a box like Mo Fei"s and it was bigger than Mo Fei"s… much bigger!

“You cheat!” Mo Fei puffed out her cheek a little angrily when she saw it.

However, Xixi didn’t care about her father"s and mother"s glances. She ran over happily and took the box in her father’s and mother’s hands. Her father"s was a little heavier. She dragged them to the middle and sat down.

“These are all my gifts!” Xixi said happily.

Mo Fei glanced at her daughter, suddenly sighed and said to Yang Yi, “Xixi is really easy to satisfy. When I was a child, I had a lot of gift for my birthday, which were given by my family and my cla.s.smates. I piled a room full of them, but she"s very happy to have two."

Hearing this, Yang Yi suddenly froze. It was unknown what he was thinking.
