Chapter 272 Happy Birthday

Yifei was extremely depressed at this moment.

After all that, Zhanbo and Yumo both remembered that today was Nanfeng's birthday, but only he forgot.

Most importantly, neither of them warned her!

If those two had reminded her beforehand, she wouldn't have had to put up with Zeng Xiaoxian's rudeness.

At this moment, Guan Gu and Youyou also happily took the elevator back to the sixth floor.

The two of them laughed so hard they almost fell over when they saw the haphazard birthday party.

Guan Gu laughed loudly: "You guys, are you trying to settle Nanfeng's marriage prospects too?"

If that's the case, then Guan Gu really needs to give Nan Feng a good reminder.

After all, ever since the burning of 3602 and Xiao Wan's incident, he had lost all hope in everyone's ability to bring people together.

Upon hearing this, Yifei merely glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian and remarked that this idiot host had terrible taste.

Fortunately, I didn't let him get involved in the set design for Tiezhu and Erniu's wedding, otherwise their wedding could have been used as a filming location for "Country Love".

Meijia, on the other hand, was more troubled by the large cake that Guangu and Youyou had brought back.

That's right, they also brought back a big cake, and for the exact same reason Wanyu gave.

But since I've already bought it, this is the only way for now.

Seeing that Nanfeng had not returned, everyone started chatting enthusiastically again.

Everyone was particularly interested in Guan Gu and Youyou's escape room game and Wan Yu's act of pretending to be Zhan Bo's girlfriend at his company.

Only Ziqiao looked at Guangu and Youyou with suspicion and uncertainty.

Guan Gu, in particular, his eyes were practically drooling.

[Guan Gu, you're amazing!]

【Depend on!】

Ziqiao was visibly annoyed, wishing he could take his pillow to Guan Gu's bedroom in the middle of the night...

Don't get me wrong, he didn't want to trade himself for his aunt, he just wanted to suffocate Guan Gu.

[You bastard Guan Gu Shenqi, I treated you like a brother, and you actually want to be my uncle-in-law?!]

Is there any justice left in this world?!

Is there any morality left in this?!

Ziqiao was immediately furious.

You went through all that trouble to coax your aunt to come to Shanghai, only to create an opportunity for you, huh?

【Pah!】

Ziqiao was angry, but he didn't do anything unnecessary.

As the saying goes: If it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if a mother wants to remarry, she'll remarry.

They can't even control their own mother's marriage, let alone their aunt.

Besides, aside from his rather insane fetish of being attracted to his brother's aunt, Guan Gu is otherwise quite perfect.

Tall, handsome, successful, and with excellent character, he seems like the best of the best.

Most importantly, they can make money and are generous with their spending.

If those two really get together, I might be able to benefit from it and make some money off them.

However, despite thinking this way, Ziqiao had no intention of bringing the two of them together.

Even if he's a complete scoundrel, he wouldn't pimp for Youyou for his own little benefit.

Ultimately, it has to be something that Youyou genuinely likes.

So let them develop on their own.

If that doesn't work, I'll find an opportunity to make a good laugh at Guan Gu and let him have a good laugh at his wishful thinking of becoming my uncle-in-law.

If it succeeds...

Then Guan Gu, you can't blame me. I can't just call you "Uncle-in-law" for nothing, right?

As soon as Ziqiao thought about it, he felt refreshed.

He turned his head away, ignoring Guan Gu and Youyou, but saw Meijia glancing at him from time to time.

Ziqiao immediately became alert.

What mischief is Chen Meijia up to now?

Just as Wanyu was proudly recounting how she used deduction to expose Zhao Wuliang and his girlfriend's fake relationship, Yu Mo took the elevator back to the sixth floor alone.

"Wow..."

Yu Mo stared wide-eyed in surprise: "The hallway tonight... is so red."

"Are you celebrating Nanfeng's 80th birthday?"

"Yu Mo, you're back."

Yifei has gotten used to everyone coming back complaining about the poorly made birthday party.

She ignored Yu Mo's complaints and went to greet him happily.

When Yifei saw the large cake in Yu Mo's hand, she completely broke down.

"Oh my God."

"Hey, why are you doing this?"

Yu Mo stepped out of the elevator, muttering unhappily.

When she saw the three large cakes on the table, which were almost too big to fit, her mouth dropped open.

"My God," Yu Mo muttered to herself.

Ziqiao laughed: "This birthday party wasn't very good, but I didn't expect there to be so many cakes."

Meijia glared at Ziqiao, telling this guy who neither contributed money nor effort to stop spouting sarcastic remarks.

Yifei pulled Yumo aside and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you already prepare a birthday present for Nanfeng? Why did you buy him a birthday cake as well?"

Yu Mo replied in a low voice, "I ordered this yesterday. It was already ready when you called."

"Okay, one more cake won't make a difference anyway."

Yifei urged, "What about the gift I asked you to buy for me?"

Yu Mo looked embarrassed, which made Yi Fei immediately feel uneasy.

"Grandma, you haven't forgotten me, have you!"

Yifei complained incessantly.

She knew Yu Mo had a bad memory, so she sent Yu Mo a message every hour, but she didn't expect that Yu Mo could forget even that.

"No, I remember buying it."

Yu Mo shrugged: "I just forgot where I put it."

Yifei was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

What kind of memory is this?

Yu Mo put down the cake in her hand and carefully searched her entire body before taking out a small gift box from the inner bag.

"for you."

"Thanks, sister."

Yifei took the gift and curiously tossed it around; it felt unusually light.

"What's inside?"

"That's none of your business."

Yu Mo patted her chest and assured him, "In short, I guarantee Nanfeng will be absolutely satisfied with this gift."

Yu Mo is very confident about this.

Because Nanfeng chose this gift himself.

After Yifei hung up the phone, the two continued watching "About Time".

Then Yu Mo took Nan Feng to pick out a birthday gift that Yi Fei wanted to give to Nan Feng.

Yu Mo felt that since Nan Feng was right beside her, it was better to let him choose the gift himself than to let her pick it out herself and then ask him if he liked it.

After buying the gifts, the two strolled around the mall for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Yu Mo drove Nan Feng to Yi Fei's university.

Yu Mo then rode back first on her motorcycle, while Nan Feng went to the parking lot to pick up his Digger Zero.

Hearing Yu Mo's confident words, Yi Fei instinctively felt something was amiss: "You're that confident?"

"Of course." Yu Mo winked at her playfully.

"All right."

Yifei looked at the beautifully wrapped gift box in her hand and decided against opening it.

"Teacher Nanfeng is back!"

Curry Sauce leaned against the window and shouted, "I saw Digger Zero!"

"Hurry, hurry, get ready!"

Yifei urged hurriedly.

So everyone immediately sprang into action in a flurry of activity.

As soon as Nanfeng stepped out of the elevator, everyone shouted loudly.

"south wind……

"Happy birthday!"

Immediately, Yifei and Xiaoxian fired the salute cannons, and to everyone's anticipation, the two cannons roared.

then……

It was just a loud roar.

Xiaoxian stared awkwardly at the muffled cannon in his hand: "This cannon was left over from Tiezhu and Erniu's wedding. It's probably, maybe, about 80%, perhaps..."

"It's a bit damp."

"Zeng Xiaoxian!"

Yifei threw away the dud in her hand and glared fiercely at Zeng Xiaoxian.

This guy is more trouble than he's worth; he can't even utter a single word.

The result was two cannons, one of which could only fart, and the other couldn't even fart.

Xiao Xian felt wronged about this, wondering where he could possibly get the salutes in such a short time.

"It's alright, Yifei, we still have the banner."

Seeing that Yifei was about to lose her temper, Meijia quickly tried to calm her down.

"That's right, we also have banners."

Curry Sauce nodded repeatedly, cooperating with Meijia to unfurl the banner.

The large red banner clearly read:

Happy Nanfeng Day!

Nanfeng peeled off the character "生" (life) that had been blown onto his face by the wind, and at that moment, the expression on his face was extremely interesting.

Wan Yu asked instinctively, "Who is this Nan Feng?"

"oops."

Mika lowered her head in embarrassment and explained in a voice barely audible, "Maybe when I went to set up the banner... I accidentally typed the wrong one."

The reason is that the characters "凤" (phoenix) and "风" (wind) not only look similar, but their pinyin is also almost the same.

She was in a hurry to get back, which is why she didn't notice.

Curry Sauce chimed in, trying to salvage the situation for Mika: "It's alright, I'll just tear that horizontal line off right now."

So Curry Sauce reached out and ripped it off, not only removing the "又" in the middle of the character "凤" but also tearing off a piece of red cloth.

Snapped!

Everyone looked at the hole that had appeared in the middle of the character "凤" (phoenix) and covered their foreheads in dismay.

This banner is completely useless now.

Seeing this, Yu Mo wanted to help them out: "Actually, I think this birthday party was pretty good..."

boom!

Yu Mo had only spoken halfway when the dud that Yi Fei had thrown on the ground without making a sound suddenly went off.

The fireworks from the dud suddenly sprayed a blast of smoke into the south wind.

That's not the point. The point is that Nanfeng was listening intently to Yumo's words and never expected the dud on the ground to suddenly go off like that.

This sudden, close-range roar was just a startle to most people, but for Nanfeng, whose hearing is very sensitive, it was terrifying.

Nanfeng was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

He clutched his chest, looking at Yu Mo with lingering fear.

What were you trying to say just now?

Yu Mo lightly slapped herself in the face, then retreated behind the crowd.

Pretend I said nothing.

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Nanfeng finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He opened his arms wide, his face beaming with a bright smile: "Thank you everyone for organizing this birthday party for me. I'm very happy and touched."

Nanfeng didn't care whether the birthday party was well-organized or not, nor did he care whether or not people would give him birthday gifts, or what kind of birthday gifts they would give.

He only cares about sincerity; in this world, sincerity is the most important and the rarest thing.

While everyone was still in a daze, Ziqiao had already stepped forward and hugged Nanfeng.

Ziqiao said, "Happy birthday."

"Thanks."

Ziqiao chuckled and said, "You've already received a hug from the most charming man in the world, so don't ask me for a birthday present anymore."

"Go to hell!" Nanfeng laughed and cursed.

Everyone then realized what was happening and rushed forward to hug Nanfeng.

When Yu Mo leaned in to hug Nan Feng, Nan Feng whispered something in her ear.

"I especially want to thank you, Yu Mo."

With a flushed face, Yu Mo murmured in a voice only Nan Feng could hear, "Just thank you?"

The embrace between the two was brief, and Yu Mo did not receive a reply from Nan Feng.

"Nanfeng, let me tell you, this birthday party is our..."

Looking at this poorly made birthday party, Yifei was too embarrassed to admit that they had started preparing for it several days in advance.

So she could only lower her head and say helplessly, "I admit, if Zeng Xiaoxian hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten your birthday today."

"This birthday party was also rushed out of our way."

Nanfeng stared at Yifei with amusement for a long time, until she felt uneasy, before saying, "Fine, considering you're so busy and have to prepare for your birthday party after get off work, I'll assume you've always remembered."

Yifei was initially delighted, then looked at "Xian'er" with doting eyes.

Now that Nanfeng's matter has been resolved, it's time to take some time to deal with Zeng Xiaoxian's blackmail.

Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

"Alright, shall we eat first, or blow out the candles and make a wish?"

Meijia looked at Nanfeng and asked.

"As..."

Nanfeng was speaking when his gaze fell on the four large cakes on the table.

He remained silent for a long time before asking, "So... you didn't spend all the money you allocated for the birthday party on buying a cake, did you?"

Everyone laughed awkwardly.

How am I supposed to explain this to Nanfeng?

"Why there are so many cakes is not important."

However, at this moment, Zhanbo seemed to suddenly have an epiphany: "The important thing is that Nanfeng, didn't you run away from home for three years and no one celebrated your birthday?"

"Three years plus this year makes a total of four years, and there are exactly four cakes here."

"How about we all celebrate your birthdays for you, the ones that no one has celebrated before?"

Nanfeng was taken aback upon hearing this.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Zhanbo's idea is fantastic!

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Yifei gave the order: "Let's quickly put candles on all four cakes!"

"good!"

Everyone sprang into action, except for Mika, who was still counting on her fingers.

"Nanfeng is twenty-two years old this year. There are four cakes in total, and each cake needs to be decorated with..."

"One times seven equals seven, two times seven equals forty-eight, March 8th is Women's Day, May 1st is Labor Day, June 1st is Children's Day..."

Before Meijia could finish reciting the multiplication table, everyone had already put the candles in place.

Wanyu lit the candles, and Guangu and Youyou turned off the corridor lights.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...

Looking at this group of jubilant people, Nanfeng realized that even though it was his birthday, they seemed happier than he was.

Seriously.

As everyone sang the birthday song together, Nanfeng silently closed her eyes and made a wish.

I hope...

May every year bring this day, and may every year be like this morning.
