Although the An Family always prepared birthday gifts for him over the years, they never really celebrated properly, usually giving them to him whenever they met, either early or late.
Cake?
Birthday cake?
Xi Siyan remembered when he was with the Li Family, and his half-brother celebrated his sixth birthday, the Li Family prepared a cake six tiers high, celebrating both his birthday and his upcoming start in elementary school.
Xi Siyan recalled that he didn't feel much at the time, given the age difference, he wasn't really affected by the whole birthday celebration thing, but now...
Looking at the small two-tier cake in front of him, and the girl with bright eyes before him, Xi Siyan realized that perhaps, back then, he did feel something. That feeling was envy.
He was always indifferent, but now, his eyes felt a bit warm.
Suppressing the emotions surging in his heart, Xi Siyan smiled, "Where are the candles?"
"Here, here."
