Compared to the two boys' stunned expressions and Jin Yiyi and Pang Yan's disdain, Jiang Xuanxuan was only surprised for a moment before becoming natural.

"Yangyang! You're finally here? Why are you so late?" Jiang Xuanxuan got up to greet him. "Never mind them! You know, boys can't stand being hungry... Xuanxuan waited for Yangyang for a long time but he didn't come. She thought he wasn't coming!"

Yang Yajing smiled but remained silent, but Chen Jiaoyun couldn't hold back any longer!

"My dear brothers and sisters, are you so easily hungry? Have you not eaten for three days? Or have you been waiting for the birthday person since lunchtime?" Chen Jiaoyun glanced at the crumbs on the table.

This isn't a task that can be completed in a few minutes! They've been eating for at least a while now. They were only 15 minutes late; did these people already succumb to hunger before the agreed-upon time?

"Hey! What are you being so arrogant about? You're late and you think you're right?" Jin Yiyi pointed at Chen Jiaoyun like a shrew.

“That’s right! We were fifteen minutes late, making you eat for more than half an hour. It was really our fault! We should have been considerate of the group of starving ghosts here and come an hour earlier!” Chen Jiaoyun immediately retorted.

"Yang Yang... Sister is so fierce!" Jiang Xuanxuan immediately shrank back towards Yang Yajing. "Xuanxuan knows she was wrong, right..."

"It's okay, we're not afraid! Your sister is just straightforward and doesn't let things go when she's right, but she's not a bad person!" Yang Yajing cut off Jiang Xuanxuan's lines.

Chen Jiaoyun is in the right! And when you're in the right, you're not going to let it go!

"Yang Yang..." Jiang Xuanxuan wanted to say something, but Yang Yajing just waved her hand.

"Alright, we're all just kids, no need for so many rules, we don't mind." She then smiled at the other four, "You guys continue? Continue!"

Looking around the private rooms, only three or four seats near the entrance were empty. Yang Yajing walked to one of them, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Chen Jiaoyun and Zhou Pengfei then sat down on either side of her.

Just as she settled down, Jiang Xuanxuan suddenly stood up in surprise: "Oh! Yangyang! Today is Yangyang's birthday! He should be sitting in the head seat! Xuanxuan is used to sitting in this seat and forgot!"

“It’s okay, we don’t mind.” Yang Yajing shook her head again.

"No way! How about Xuanxuan and Yangyang switch?"

"Jiang Xuanxuan! Look at the plate in front of you!" Chen Jiaoyun was displeased. She didn't want to sit next to Jiang Xuanxuan. "You've eaten like this, and you still have the nerve to change it?"

"Sister...it's all Xuanxuan's fault..." Jiang Xuanxuan looked like she was about to cry again.

"Stop! It's the birthday girl's day today, try crying and see what happens! It's bad luck!" Chen Jiaoyun shouted, forcing back the tears that were about to fall from Jiang Xuanxuan's eyes.

It wasn't because of Chen Jiaoyun's words, but because she saw Zhou Pengfei frown.

"Didn't I say that Xuanxuan is a rich young lady, she's used to sitting in this seat, she didn't do it on purpose! You're really making a fuss!" Jin Yiyi exclaimed again!

"It's your young lady who's fussing about changing seats," Chen Jiaoyun said casually.

"If you don't want to change, then don't!" Pang Yan said softly. "I've already sat down, and Yang Yajing doesn't mind. I also like sitting next to Xuanxuan."

“Yangyang…I…”

"It's alright, let's leave it at that! It's fine!" Yang Yajing smiled naturally.

But Jiang Xuanxuan wasn't thinking that way at all. She was secretly cursing Pang Yan for being so blind! Only by changing seats could she sit next to Zhou Pengfei! What a terrible teammate! What's there to fight over for the main seat?

Yang Yajing had just taken a few bites when Jiang Xuanxuan spoke up again: "Oh no! Yangyang! Xuanxuan forgot to order a cake! The birthday candles haven't been blown out yet!"

Seeing Jiang Xuanxuan's regretful expression, Chen Jiaoyun didn't say anything and just watched her continue acting.

"Yangyang, these are all individual small cakes. Why don't you order a few and put them together, Xuanxuan?"

"Xuanxuan, no need, I brought the cake from the store." With that, Yang Yajing took out a small nine-inch cake from her gift bag.

"Wow! What a beautiful cake!" Jiang Xuanxuan said with a smile. "Yangyang, make a wish, and let's all sing Happy Birthday together?"

Chen Jiaoyun thought to herself, "Damn it!" The candles haven't even been lit yet, what song are we going to sing or make a wish for?

However, as if they had planned it together, Jiang Xuanxuan and Yang Yajing immediately closed their eyes and made a wish at the same time.

I don't understand. It's normal for Yang Yajing to make a wish, but why is Jiang Xuanxuan closing her eyes?

Just as she was racking her brains, the cake suddenly "flew" towards Yang Yajing...

"Snap," "Plop," "Thump"... The three sounds rang out without pause.

Jiang Xuanxuan opened her eyes: "Oh dear!... Yang Yang... your face..." Then she couldn't finish her sentence!

Because at the scene... time stopped!

"What's wrong? What happened to my face?" Yang Yajing got up from under the table, holding a spoon in her hand, looking completely bewildered. "Did the people from the Kesai come to visit today? I was just picking up a spoon, and suddenly time stopped again?"

"Pfft!" Chen Jiaoyun was still in shock, but after hearing this, she couldn't hold back anymore!

"Zhou Pengfei, what are you doing with your hand outstretched?" Yang Yajing pried Zhou Pengfei's arm, which was still hanging in mid-air.

“It’s dirty…” Zhou Pengfei pointed to the sleeve of his shirt, which was covered in cream.

"Hahahaha! Who told you to be a hero and save the beauty? That beauty didn't need you to save her at all!" Chen Jiaoyun pointed at Zhou Pengfei and launched into another round of mockery.

"Hindsight is 20/20!" Zhou Pengfei said, wiping his sleeves with a napkin while glaring at Chen Jiaoyun.

"Brother Pengfei... I'm so sorry! It's all Xuanxuan's fault!" Jiang Xuanxuan apologized again.

"What are you apologizing for? You didn't take the picture of the cake, did you?" Chen Jiaoyun rolled her eyes at her.

"It's Xuanxuan's fault," Jiang Xuanxuan took the blame. "Just now, everyone was talking about creating a lively atmosphere. They said they saw people slapping cakes on their faces in TV dramas and then laughing together, so they wanted to lighten the mood too... Xuanxuan couldn't stop them..."

"Didn't we fail to capture the birthday boy's face? We captured the neighbor's face instead! Hahahaha!" Chen Jiaoyun was still laughing at Zhou Pengfei's ugly face.

"Brother Pengfei...it's Xuanxuan's fault. Did Xuanxuan wash your clothes?"

"What are you talking about? Are you trying to make him run around naked in public? What are you up to?" Chen Jiaoyun tugged at Zhou Pengfei's thin shirt, which was completely naked underneath.

"It's okay, you can't see it once you put on your coat." Zhou Pengfei thought of the coat Yang Yajing had made him take off earlier and thought she was very farsighted!

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaoyun narrowed her eyes, thinking: You, Yang Yajing, so you had this planned all along! Thumbs up!

"Yangyang... I'm so sorry... there's no cake left... how about Xuanxuan..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Yajing had already taken out an identical cake from the gift bag and placed it on the table.

At this point, Jiang Xuanxuan couldn't continue speaking!

"I didn't know how many people were coming out, so I was afraid one cake wouldn't be enough. My mom told me to bring an extra one," Yang Yajing said with a smile.

Chen Jiaoyun was truly delighted! Jiang Xuanxuan had finally met her match today! Hahaha! So satisfying!
