When Yu Yihan and Hu Yingluo’s gazes accidentally met, they would instantly look away, as if there was some unspoken secret between them…
Xiao Yufan, caught in the middle, felt extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, considering it was his birthday today, no one acted too harshly. Two equally beautiful women waged their private war in their own ways…
A knocking sound echoed from the door. Xiao Yufan hesitated slightly—it was already very late, so who could it be?
“Sir, this is the custom-made cake you ordered. Would you like any additional service?” A waiter pushed a cake cart into the room. Xiao Yufan hesitated again, unsure of who had sent it.
Turning around, Xiao Yufan looked at Yu Yihan and Hu Yingluo with a questioning gaze, but they both shook their heads.
“We didn’t order any cake—did you get the order wrong?”
“No, it was definitely ordered for this private room. There’s no mistake!” The waiter glanced at the room number.
“Well then, thank you…” Although Xiao Yufan didn’t know who had ordered it, having a cake was convenient. Who could be so thoughtful?
“Bro Yufan, maybe it’s from someone who secretly admires you! Anyway, let’s just start eating!” Fan Le leaned closer, eyeing the big cake and dramatically swallowing.
“Secretly admire your head! Since someone sent the cake, we might as well eat it tonight!” Xiao Yufan smiled, then casually placed the birthday hat from under the cake cart onto Ma Teng’s head.
As Xiao Yufan was about to cut the cake, the door knocked again. He thought maybe the waiter had delivered the cake to the wrong room and was here to retrieve it—but now he had already started cutting!
Opening the door, Xiao Yufan saw another waiter, not the same one as before, which slightly eased his mind. If it really was a mistake, it would have been quite awkward. But to his surprise, this new waiter was also pulling a cake cart behind him…
“This is the cake you ordered, please accept it…” The waiter said politely. Seeing another cake cart inside the room, he doubted he had made a mistake, but after checking the order, he confirmed it was correct.
This time, everyone was astonished. Who was playing around, sending cakes for no reason? Although dining at a four-star hotel might not be a big deal for those present, the cost was still significant.
“Oh, thank you…” Xiao Yufan numbly signed his name on the receipt. Could it be that he had many friends in Beijing he didn’t know about? How could he keep receiving cakes one after another? Could it really be from someone secretly admiring him? Xiao Yufan couldn’t help shaking his head.
Although feeling quite strange, Xiao Yufan still proceeded, slicing the three-tiered cake into pieces. No wonder it was a custom cake from a four-star hotel—just looking at it made mouths water.
…
Later on, due to Xiao Yufan’s presence, everyone gradually became more comfortable, and the conversation gradually expanded from small talk to broader topics.
The red wine on the table kept decreasing, and Xiao Yufan began feeling a bit tipsy. Being the center of attention today, he had drunk more than anyone else. But this time, he was happily drunk, feeling warm and comforted by the company of his friends. The only thing that pricked at his heart was the absence of a certain graceful figure, perhaps someone who would never appear…
The only people still sober at the table were Mu Qing, Yu Yihan, and Hu Yingluo, though they had also drunk quite a bit—their consciousness was just slightly clearer.
Drowsily, Xiao Yufan felt his phone vibrate. He casually took it from his pocket and put it to his ear.
“Kid, happy birthday! Did you receive the cake I ordered for you?” A familiar voice came from the other end of the line, slightly sobering Xiao Yufan. He now realized the cake was sent by his master. But…
“Where are you exactly? How did you know I’d be here celebrating my birthday? Don’t tell me you calculated it…”
“I’m in Beijing, and actually, I’m not far from you…”
“If you’re in Beijing, why haven’t you shown up?” Hearing hesitation in his master’s voice, Xiao Yufan immediately sensed something was wrong. Recently, his master had become even more mysterious—no one could predict what he was up to.
“Of course I have my own things to do! Besides, if I showed up, you might get annoyed with me one day. It’s better to give you young people some space…”
Xiao Yufan felt a lump in his throat. He wasn’t an emotional person, but sensing his master’s concern, he couldn’t help feeling tears welling up. So his mysterious master had been by his side all along—no wonder he always seemed to know everything that happened…
“Rest well tonight. Once I settle everything, I’ll definitely come see you. There are also some important things I need to tell you…”
“I understand!” Somehow, Xiao Yufan suddenly felt a surge of anticipation, eagerly awaiting what his master would reveal. He always felt that he had been kept in the dark about many things…
