Chapter 69: Happy Birthday (Part II)

"Why are you running so fast?" Zhu Hong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you come by car?"

"I came by car, but when I got to noon today, I met four or five Xuanyuan Realm demon beasts, although we finally beat them away, but our carriage also broke down, so we ran over the road after that. Bai Xiaohua said with a tired face.

Chu Xiaoli and Chu Xiao's parents were stunned, and turned their heads to look at Li Chen, but saw Li Chen saying to Bai Xiaohua with a smug face, "Hehe, don't run as fast as me." ”

"What is this like. Bai Xiaohua muttered, and then said nothing.

Chu Xiao's parents couldn't help but smile and didn't think much about it, but Chu Xiaoli looked at Li Chen with bright eyes.

"Everyone is here, it's time to show us the birthday present you have prepared, right?" Zhu Hong said curiously.

"Cheng!" Li Chen's mouth curled, and he pointed to the house, "Let's talk about it in the house first." ”

"Good. ”

And they came into the house.

......

"Take a look at the birthday gifts we have carefully prepared for you in the past ten days!" Li Chen looked at Chu Xiaoli and said with a smile, while Bai Xiaohua and the others stood behind Li Chen, and they also looked at Chu Xiaoli with a smug look in their eyes, but what they didn't notice was that although Mu Yu was also smiling on the side, that smile was a little reluctant.

"Happy birthday!" Li Chen shouted, and then suddenly opened the red cake box in front of him, which was a meter in diameter.

"Happy birthday!" Bai Xiaohua and the others also shouted happily with Li Chen.

An emerald green glow suddenly lit up from inside the box.

At this time, the night was already dark, and the light source in Chu Xiao's house was just a few candles, but when this light was lit, the whole room was brightened by this emerald green light in an instant.

Along with this emerald green glow, there was an intoxicating aroma, which not only smelled attractive, but also felt that the body seemed to warm and enliven after smelling it.

"Wow~" Zhu Hong looked over in surprise and saw a large round pastry with a diameter of one meter placed there.

Chu Xiaoli took two deep breaths of the aroma that permeated the air, and then looked at the cake with sparkling eyes.

On the front of this cake is a full-body portrait of Chu Xiaoli.

On the cake surface, Chu Xiaoli smiled and looked vivid.

Everyone looked at this portrait of Chu Xiaoli from above, and they all felt that she was smiling at herself.

Everyone looked at Chu Xiaoli with a smile, but saw that all of Chu Xiaoli's eyes were focused on the cream around the birthday cake, and everyone also looked over when they saw this, and then they understood what she was looking at.

Zhu Hong and Yi Lei Dao didn't speak, but they raised their eyebrows at Li Chen and them, and at the same time gave a thumbs up, and Chu Xiao's parents' eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

The creamy surface around the cake, divided into six parts.

Naturally, it is not this distinction that they admire and are moved by, but the content of these six parts.

That's Li Chen's portrait.

The portrait of Li Chen, the portrait of Bai Xiaohua, the portrait of Mu Yu, the portrait of Gou Wuving, the portrait of Luo Jin, and the portrait of three cute long-tailed cats.

Everyone looks different, but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they are all laughing.

Some of these portraits are crude, some are fine, some are vivid, some are bizarre...... There are various styles, and it is obvious that they were not painted by one person.

That's right, this was painted by Li Chen and each of them by hand, and for this reason, they spent a lot of time practicing their portraits many times.

Although the improvement is not very big, there are still some people who draw very poorly, such as Muyu......

Zhu Hong and the others could see that this was drawn by everyone's own hands, and Chu Xiaoli, who was already smart, could also see it.

She looked at the paintings in a daze, suddenly lowered her head, and then raised her shoulders.

"Xiaoli~" Zhu Hong walked up to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and called her softly.

Chu Xiaoli raised her head, her eyes were wide and bright and she looked at Li Chen, there were tears flowing in her eyes, but there was a smile on her face.

"Brother and sister, why are you so nice to me?" she asked softly.

Li Chen and the others looked at each other, and then smiled.

"I don't know about others, but I just like Xiaoli, look at how cute our Xiaoli looks!" Bai Xiaohua stood up and looked at Chu Xiaoli with a cheerful smile and said.

"Don't be ashamed, you told me my lines, do you know?" Li Chen pushed him and laughed.

"Who told you to speak slowly, Childe?" Bai Xiaohua looked proud.

"Because you call me brother. Luo Jin said seriously on the side.

"I like Xiaoli too. "Gou is invincible.

"Xiaoli is the cutest!" Mu Yu was silent for a while, and then smiled.

Li Chen glanced at her strangely, Mu Yu's mood didn't seem to be very good, what's going on?

"Where's the big brother?" Chu Xiaoli looked at Li Chen and took the initiative to ask, with expectation in his eyes.

"Me. Li Chen walked up to her, squatted down and touched her hair, and said gently, "I don't have any reason, I just want to be nice to you." He couldn't help but laugh when he said this, "Maybe it's the same reason as your little brother, I think you're cute." ”

"Lovely people deserve to be liked and treated well. ”

"Is that so......" Chu Xiaoli looked at Li Chen's gentle eyes in a daze, and after a long time, a gentle smile gradually appeared on his face, and said, "Thank you, Brother Li Chen." ”

She turned to look at Zhu Hong again, and Bai Xiaohua bowed down and thanked, "Thank you, brother and sister, thank you Grandpa Yilei." ”

Everyone smiled back.

"Childe, let's take the next step!" Luo Jin said expectantly.

"What's next?" Chu Xiaoli wondered.

"Yes, the next step. Li Chen stood up and pointed to the birthday cake next to him, "Before eating this, you have to make a wish." ”

"Make a wish?"

"Yes. Li Chen nodded, turned his head to look at Luo Jin and them, "Put on the candle." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone came over and put 12 candles on the cake and lit them all.

"Turn off the lights. ”

"I'm coming!"

Bai Xiaohua excitedly ran to the candle somewhere else and blew out the candle.

As soon as the candles went out, the whole room suddenly became dark, except for the area around the cake, which became the only source of light in the whole room because of the candles and the light of the cake itself.

This cake is infused with the life force of Mu Yu, so it emits an emerald green light.

"It's quite atmospheric. Zhu Hong looked around in surprise, and then raised his thumbs to Bai Xiaohua and them, "You still know how to play." ”

"It's ok, it's okay. Bai Xiaohua patted her chest and looked smug.

"Xiaoli is twelve years old today, so let's order 12 candles and follow me. Li Chen took her hand and brought it to the candles, pointed to the candles and said, "Make a wish first, and then blow out the candles." ”

"Make a wish?" Chu Xiaoli blinked.

"Yes, just close your eyes to the candles, silently think about the wishes you want to accomplish in your heart, and then open your eyes and blow out the candles, so that God will hear!"

"Will it come true?!"

"Yes. Li Chen looked at her expectant eyes and nodded, "It's going to come true!"

"Make a wish seriously. Luo Jin said with a smile.

"En!" Chu Xiaoli nodded vigorously, then stood in front of the birthday cake and closed his eyes.

The crowd didn't speak, they all looked at her with a smile.

After a minute or so, she reopened her eyes and blew on all the candles on the cake to extinguish the lit candles.

Bai Xiaohua hurriedly ran to the surrounding candles and re-lit these candles, and the whole house was bright again.

"What wishes?" the crowd wondered.

"Secret. Chu Xiaoli said with a smile.
