Chapter 155: Happy Birthday Shu Yue

Shu Yue was originally helping Qin Dayong make dumplings. Suddenly, when she heard these words, she couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.

[He went on a blind date again?] No wonder he ignored me for a while, it turns out he went on a blind date. You can’t trust a man’s lies. 】

Fu Jingshen heard Shu Yue's thoughts and looked at her out of the corner of his eye. She stretched her neck and looked very gossipy.

Since she was eavesdropping, he might as well explain to her why.

"It wasn't a blind date. The head of the Lin family on Chonghe Island passed away. As you know, Uncle Lin and my dad have always had a good relationship. I went to the island to help for a few days. Uncle Lin has a daughter who is about my age. My mom wanted to bring us together, but I didn't mean to. The communication thing was a complete accident. My phone fell into the water before I went to the island, and I haven't had time to buy a new one."

The Lin family is even more chaotic than the Fu family. They are not very rich, but 90% of the industries on Chonghe Island belong to the Lin family. Once something happens to the Lin family, both their own family members and outsiders will be eyeing them covetously. Fu Jingshen only went to help deal with these trivial matters. His cell phone fell again, and he forgot to contact Shu Yue in his busyness.

Shu Yue really wronged him.

Mr. Bai sighed deeply.

"I know the Uncle Lin you're talking about. He used to be my college classmate. Now that your dad is gone, Uncle Lin is gone too. All my good friends left before me."

He felt a little sad when he said this.

"Dad, Xiao Fu, it's time to eat dumplings."

Zhou Lan called out, and the two of them got up and went over.

Fu Jingshen sat next to Shu Yue, and Shu Yue subconsciously moved to the side to keep a distance from him.

Why is he so close to me? 】

Shu Yue still felt unhappy.

Fu Jingshen just glanced at her and didn't sit over on purpose.

Qin Dayong brought out the steamed dumplings. "I made three kinds of dumplings. This one has pork and corn, this one has cabbage and pork, and this one has mushroom and pork. You can pick up whatever flavor you like."

"I haven't eaten dumplings in many years."

Mr. Bai sighed, "When your mother was still alive, she liked to make dumplings and put them in the refrigerator. When you two sisters didn't want to cook at home, you would cook dumplings for them. Do you remember?"

Zhou Lan picked up a few dumplings and put them in Mr. Bai's bowl. "Of course I remember. Dumplings are the only thing I'm best at, which I learned from my mom."

They sat together eating dumplings and it really felt like a happy family.

Shu Yue couldn't help thinking of her grandma while eating dumplings.

Grandma also liked to make dumplings for her and keep them in the refrigerator. She would get up early to go to school and cook dumplings. If she couldn’t finish the dumplings every day, the refrigerator would be full in two days.

[I don’t know how grandma is doing. I’m not at home and I don’t know if she has eaten well. 】

Feeling that Shu Yue was in a low mood, Fu Jingshen took a tissue from the side and handed it to her without saying anything.

When Shu Yue saw the tissue he handed over, she quickly took it and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

[I'm so embarrassed. How come he saw us? He won't think I'm being pretentious. Can I make myself cry just by eating dumplings? 】

Shu Yue lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Fu Jingshen at all.

Fu Jingshen smiled. She really thought too much.

He picked up a dumpling and just as he put it into his mouth, he found it was too hard to bite.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a coin.

"Yueyue only wrapped this coin in the dumpling, but you were the first one to be late. You are quite lucky."

After hearing Qin Dayong's words, Shu Yue noticed that Fu Jingshen had eaten the coins in her bag.

She quickly said, "Make a wish!"

"Make a wish?"

"Yes, if you eat the only dumpling with a coin in it, you can make a wish. It works!"

Shu Yue's eyes sparkled.

[My grandma always puts a coin inside the dumplings she makes, and I always get the coin when I eat it. She said that if you make a wish after eating the coin, it will come true. So all the wishes I made when I was a child have come true! 】

Fu Jingshen raised his eyebrows, "Is it that effective?"

"Of course, I've made wishes before and they all came true."

"So what did you wish for?"

Shu Yue thought for a moment, "I wished for a doll, and the next day there really was a doll at my bedside. I also wished that I could win a prize. Although the prize was not much, it was still 500 yuan."

[The wishes I made were not big ones. I just wanted a computer, to get into a good university, to have a good job and make a lot of money for my grandma. Although not all of them came true, 80% of them came true, so it's pretty effective. 】

Fu Jingshen looked at her and thought that all of this was probably achieved by her grandmother. Although she had experienced many hardships, she was still willing to believe in these things, which was rare.

"I don't have any wishes. Since it's so effective, I'll give this wish to you."

Fu Jingshen wiped the coin clean and put it in Shu Yue's palm.

"Give it to me?"

"Um."

"Then I won't be polite with you. I'll make a promise."

As she spoke, Shu Yue clasped her hands together and prepared to close her eyes and make a wish.

[I hope that everyone I care about can be healthy, live a long life, and have smooth sailing. 】

She opened her eyes and suddenly a delicate and beautiful cake appeared in front of her, with candles lit on it.

"Yueyue, happy birthday!"

"You have one more birthday wish to make."

In previous years, her birthday celebrations at the Shu family would end with a birthday banquet, and they would not give her an extra cake or let her make a birthday wish, so this year she felt that this was just the way her birthday would be.

But unexpectedly, they prepared a birthday cake in advance and gave her a surprise.

Shu Yue stared at the cake in front of her, her nose suddenly feeling sore.

"Silly child, why are you still standing there? Make a wish now."

Under everyone's urging, Shu Yue sniffed, closed her eyes and made a wish, but heard Fu Jingshen say.

"Make a wish about yourself, be selfish."

About my own wishes? 】

Shu Yue thought about it.

[I hope I can become a great jewelry designer! 】

She opened her eyes and blew out the candle in front of her. It seemed as if all her worries disappeared.

"Let's cut the cake."

Zhou Lan handed the knife to Shu Yue, "The birthday boy should make the first cut."

Shu Yue took the knife and distributed it to everyone.

"Why did you think of sending me a birthday cake?"

Although there was a cake at the birthday party, it was just a formality and it didn't have the warmth of celebrating the birthday at home.

"Actually, this was brought by Xiao Fu."

Zhou Lan told the truth.

"If Xiao Fu hadn't brought a cake, we would have thought that as long as we had a birthday party for you, we would have celebrated your birthday. In fact, the most important thing about a birthday is not a decent birthday party, but being together as a family, singing birthday songs, eating birthday cakes, and chatting."

When Shu Yue heard this, she couldn't help but look at Fu Jingshen. When their eyes met, Shu Yue felt a warm current surge in her heart, making her feel numb.
