A Young Woman's Heart

That's it~

“This gift is quite interesting.” Hua Yinyin played with it in her hands for a while, then started making a fuss again. First, she poked Wang Jiale’s face with a chicken leg, and then she secretly scurried behind Mo Xueyao to untie the bow ribbon around her neck.

This caused the latter's bra to slip down completely.

"Hey, Hua Yinyin—!!" Mo Xueyao roared through gritted teeth, "Are you looking for death?!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't need to wear it when I go to bed later!"

"Who wants to sleep with you?"

"I've welded the lock on, so you'll be spending the night here with me!" Hua Yinyin joked, covering her mouth and laughing.

"Knock, knock, knock." The door rang at that moment.

"Who is it?" Hua Yinyin asked, craning her neck.

"Open the door, it's the water meter checker."

"The police are coming to arrest you," Mo Xueyao said, sounding alarmist.

"Tch, I recognized it a long time ago, it's Brother Huang Zhengyang." Hua Yinyin rolled her eyes, opened the door and let Huang Zhengyang in. "Hurry up and sit down, we've already eaten half of it!"

"Okay, okay, wow—you've made quite a feast." Huang Zhengyang sat down naturally in the empty chair next to Huang Yuxi. "I was thinking about your birthday, and it seems like Xiaoxi and I didn't prepare any gifts before coming here for a free meal, so we found something we have at home to give you as a gift. I hope you don't mind."

"Hmm, what is it?" Hua Yinyin asked curiously.

"What do you think of this wrench?"

……

Chapter Ninety-Six: Cider Cake

Thus, Hua Yinyin received an unusual gift—a brand new wrench with a metallic silver-white sheen.

After dinner, there was still quite a bit of food left. It wasn't that we couldn't eat anymore, but everyone wanted to save room for the main event later—the cake.

So everyone helped tidy up.

Soon, the table was cleared out, and the cake was put back on the table. It was a chocolate cake, not that the cake was chocolate-flavored, but that it was just wrapped in a chocolate shell.

The cake had the words "Happy Birthday, Hua Yinyin" written on it in white cream.

Besides that, there was also an adorable Mickey Mouse, which was of course the first one to be cut off and eaten by Hua Yinyin.

"Wait, the candles haven't been lit yet!" Mo Xueyao shouted helplessly, "Hua Yinyin, why are you starting to eat already?"

"Eh? I forgot, I forgot." Hua Yinyin chuckled sheepishly. "Um, wait a minute, let me look for the candles..."

"Is this it?" Wang Jiale pointed to the lotus-shaped thing. "I've used this kind of candle before. After you light it, it blooms and then automatically sings the birthday song."

"Hmm, so this is it. It's been so long since I had a birthday. Have birthday candles evolved to this level now?" Hua Yinyin muttered, tilting her head.

For someone who only celebrates her birthday once every four years, it has indeed been a 'long time' since she last celebrated her birthday.

"Did I turn off the light?" Cha Li asked, standing next to the switch.

"Shut it down!"

So, all the lights in the room were turned off.

But the entire room was not plunged into complete darkness.

Mo Xueyao was irresistibly drawn to the city night view outside the window.

The stars in the night sky winked mischievously, reflecting the twinkling lights in the city.

Standing atop a high-rise building, looking beyond the nearest construction sites, you can see the bustling streets in the distance and the entire city that remains vibrant even at night.

You can also see that the blue of the sky has become deeper, but it is still clear and clean, like the sea under the night sky, except that it does not ripple.

"I want to live in a high-rise building someday," Mo Xueyao murmured to herself, resting her chin on her hand. "Enjoying such beautiful scenery every day would surely make me feel great, wouldn't it?"

"Well, you get used to it, it's just so-so~ The only advantage is that it's quiet and not easy to be disturbed." Hua Yinyin waved her hand and lit the candle with a lighter by the starlight outside the window.

The lotus-shaped candles slowly lit up, and the birthday song began to play.

Huang Zhengyang quickly started by clapping his hands to celebrate Hua Yinyin's birthday.

Happy birthday!

During the birthday wishes, Hua Yinyin clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and looked serene and well-behaved—what a lovely girl, it's a pity she's not mute.

"My wish is..." Hua Yinyin's voice grew softer and softer until only she could hear it. No one knew what she wished for. In any case, she took a deep breath and blew out all the candles.

"Xiaoyao, what do you think Yinyin's wish will be?" Wang Jiale nudged Mo Xueyao's arm and asked curiously.

"Huh? Do you even need to guess? It's definitely not some proper wish," Mo Xueyao said, her eyelids drooping.

"That's why I wanted to know how indecent it was."

"Hmm...maybe it's a desire for the school uniform skirts to get shorter and shorter?" Mo Xueyao guessed.

"Ahem." Li Wanyan coughed lightly, immediately silencing her.

After blowing out the candles, the lights were turned back on, and the main event was eating the cake.

The most important part of celebrating a birthday is eating cake.

Although traditionally, Chinese people don't eat cake on their birthdays, it's unclear when it started, but eating cake has become an indispensable part of the tradition.

Just like eating fried chicken without cola, if you don't have a birthday cake, you'll feel like something's missing.

"Ugh, what's this oozing out of the cake?" Wang Jiale took a half-step back with a look of disgust, seemingly finding it somewhat terrifying.

"It's alcohol! This is a liqueur-filled cake!"

Everyone lowered their eyelids, their faces showing an expression of "as expected of you."

However, Mo Xueyao was quite interested in trying it.

The liqueur in the liqueur cake is sweet and not too strong, so it's quite nice to eat it with the cake.

However, when there are many people, eating birthday cake always turns into playing games.

No one knows who started it, but in any case, a cream-smearing battle began in the blink of an eye.

The girls ran around happily, shouting, and those who got cream smeared on them would definitely retaliate, and so on, endlessly.

Even Huang Yuxi and Li Wanyan were forced to join the battle.

Huang Zhengyang, the "big brother," seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.

Mo Xueyao hid under the table, secretly eating cake, only to find that Mr. Xue had somehow taken a cake plate and was also squatting there, enjoying the commotion outside while savoring the delicious cake.

"Oh, Xiaoxue is here too." Mo Xueyao moved closer to Mr. Xue to avoid being accidentally hurt by others.

“Yes, food should not be wasted,” Mr. Xue said earnestly.

"I think so too. It's such a delicious cake, and they're using it to throw at people. What a waste!" Mo Xueyao said indignantly. "I didn't expect even the class monitor to join in."

"Haha, but this is also a very happy thing, isn't it?" Mr. Xue smiled. Because of the floor-to-ceiling windows, even from under the table, one could see the scenery outside.

At that moment, the two shared a strange understanding, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.

Outside the table, Hua Yinyin, who was frantically looking for someone to "start a war," became a public enemy. The girls ganged up on her, pinned her down on the sofa, and then smeared cream and other things all over her.

Not only on his face, but also on his chest, arms, and thighs... all of them were covered in cream.

The sheer dancer's costume suddenly became a mess, and when combined with the unidentified white solid, it only fueled the imagination.

But Hua Yinyin herself was laughing happily, and even deliberately smeared the cream off her body onto other people.

Everyone was having a blast, and the girls' laughter was becoming increasingly unrestrained.

If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd wandered into a witch's alchemy hut!

Huang Yuxi and Huang Zhengyang left the center of the battlefield, while Mo Xueyao, still not full, secretly crawled out from under the table, wanting to get another piece of cake.

Even though everyone seemed to have been covered in cream, there was still quite a bit of cake left.

But to her surprise, as soon as she emerged, she was spotted by Hua Yinyin, this 'long-range automatic tracking missile,' who ran straight towards her, then grabbed her, carried her to the sofa, and pounced on her.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Mo Xueyao shouted in dissatisfaction, "Don't waste it! The cake is expensive!"

Although the cake was bought with money, Mo Xueyao still felt bad about it.

"Little Yaoyao, do you want some cake?" Hua Yinyin grinned mischievously as she leaned closer to her, giving the impression that something terrible was about to happen.

Sure enough, she ran her fingers along her collarbone, bit into the cake with cream filling that someone had smeared there, leaving half sticking out, and then bent down—

He stuffed the other half of the cake into Mo Xueyao's mouth.

"Wow!" Wang Jiale and Mo Zhuyou both screamed excitedly.

Mo Xiaoxiao's smile couldn't be stopped.

Cha Li and Li Wanyan exchanged a glance and calmed down at the same time, only then realizing that the whole room had become a mess because of the cake fight.

Hua Yinyin's lips.

What does it taste like?

I couldn't taste it.

All she thought was that the cake was very sweet.

"Yinyin, did you get drunk from eating a liqueur cake?" Wang Jiale finally sobered up a bit, shook Hua Yinyin's head, and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, Yaoyao's lips smell like fruit!"

"Why is it fruit-flavored?"

"And it even smells like fresh flowers!"

"It's just because my family runs a fruit shop..." Mo Xueyao pushed Hua Yinyin away with droopy eyelids, feeling no excitement at being 'forcefully kissed' by a girl. Instead, she felt a headache coming on.

Even though I was pinned down on the sofa, it still felt strangely hard.

Amidst the noise and commotion, everyone gradually recovered from their excitement and began tidying up the messy room.

Even the usually shameless Hua Yinyin seemed to blush after she came to her senses. She ran into the bathroom and took a shower for a full half hour before coming out. When she came out, she had changed into a set of clothes that had a youthful vibe. She wore a long-sleeved casual shirt on top and denim shorts on the bottom, and her pair of white thighs were so dazzling that they made people's eyes ache.
