Jiang Xiaoli rolled around on the bed twice more before getting up and getting out of bed.

She pushed open the bedroom door and walked into the living room, where she caught a glimpse of a beautifully designed cream cake on the dining table.

Li Guizhi smiled and said to her, "The cake that Ayu ordered is really beautiful!"

She turned around and looked towards the bedroom, saying, "Hmm, it's quite pretty."

A little while later, Zong Jia came out after taking a shower. "Everyone was saying they wanted to come over tonight to celebrate for you, but I thought about it and declined. How about we invite people over for a get-together once your sleepiness issue has improved?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "I get sleepy before 9 o'clock. I really can't stay up with them. Anyway, we all live in the same building, so we can see each other whenever we want."

At lunchtime, it was just the three of them plus Xu Feng.

After singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out the candles, Xu Feng said with a smile, "Happy birthday, Xiao Li! Time flies so fast; you and Xiao Yu are both grown up now!"

"Thank you, Auntie!" she said as she cut the cake. "Xiaoyu will be back next week, aren't you happy?"

"Haha," Li Guizhi said with a laugh, "How could I not be happy! Your aunt started cleaning Xiaoyu's room on the 1st!"

Xu Feng sighed, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Li is always with you, but Xiao Yu is so far away. I really miss her."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and handed her a piece of cake. "Auntie, have a piece of cake to sweeten your mouth. A week will go by very quickly!"

After dinner, Xu Feng went home and brought back a brocade box. "Little Pear, this is a birthday gift from your Uncle Xiao and me."

Jiang Xiaoli opened the brocade box, and inside lay a sky-blue jade bracelet.

She fell in love with the sky blue at first sight. She picked up the bracelet and held it up to the sunlight. The bracelet was translucent and moist, as if it were glowing.

"Auntie, thank you and Uncle Xiao, this bracelet is so beautiful!"

Xu Feng liked her very much when she saw her, and explained with a smile, "A while ago, Lao Xiao was taken to a raw stone auction, and he bought a stone without really knowing what it was. I gave him a good scolding when he came back."

He said that since he had already spent the money, he should at least hear something, so he dragged me along to have the stone cut open. Unexpectedly, he was really lucky and the stone turned out well.

This raw material is almost like glass, with a clear sky blue color. We both felt it would be a perfect match for you and Xiaoyu.

That piece of material just happens to yield enough for two bracelets, one for you and one for Xiaoyu!

As she spoke, she took out a smaller box and handed it to Li Guizhi, saying, "Sister-in-law, these are safety buckles made from the leftover scraps from making the bracelets for them. Please don't mind them."

Li Guizhi took the box and said with a smile, "Feng'er, what are you saying? We don't want anything now, we just want our family to be safe and sound!"

Xu Feng chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, that's exactly it!"

After Xu Feng left, Li Guizhi took a small brocade pouch out of her pocket and stuffed it into her daughter's hand.

"This is a blessing I prayed for your safety. No matter how advanced medical technology is now, women still have to go through the gates of hell when they give birth. I don't ask you to be rich or powerful, I only ask that you be safe and healthy."

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes reddened slightly as she reached out and hugged her mother, "Mom—"

Li Guizhi patted her back with a smile, "Alright, our little pear will definitely be safe and sound."

She released her daughter and said with a smile, "You and Ayu haven't seen each other for several days. You two chat, I'm going upstairs to take a nap."

Zong Jia took her hand and sat her down on the sofa. "Little Pear, wait a minute, I'm going to get something."

He returned with a document, saying, "I started working on this project after you guys sponsored that kid Tanikawa last time, and it was just approved at the beginning of the month."

This is an application to establish a non-public fundraising charitable foundation. The last page contains the approval opinion from the relevant department.

The word "Agreed" is stamped with the official seal of the relevant department.

Jiang Xiaoli really didn't expect that Zong Jia would pay attention to this matter and even establish a charitable foundation in her name.

She opened her arms and hugged him, saying in a soft voice, "Ayu, thank you."

Zong Jiayu's voice was gentle, "Little Pear, do we need to say thank you to each other? I will unconditionally support whatever you want to do."

She released her arms, turned her head and kissed him on the lips, then looked into his eyes with a smile.

"Ayu, I will support you unconditionally."

Zong Jia smiled and nodded gently, then put his arm around her. Neither of them said anything, yet it seemed as if they had already said a lot.

This heartwarming moment lasted until around 3 p.m. when it was interrupted by a series of phone calls wishing her a happy birthday.

Later, Jiang Xiaoli logged into "SOSO" and saw Xiao Muyu's message.

[Xiaoxiao Muyu: Your phone is so busy, I can't get through! I had an exam this morning, so I went to school first.]

[Xiaoxiao Muyu: Happy birthday, Xiaoli! Wishing you happiness every day~ I'll have Ale bring you your gift. See you in Kyoto next week. Missing you.]

She smiled and replied to each and every one of the many people who had sent her their well wishes.

At dinner time, Jiang Ruilin and Jiang Chengle arrived together, each carrying a suitcase.

As soon as Jiang Chengle entered the door, he gave her a warm hug. "Xiao Li, happy birthday!"

Jiang Ruilin smiled and said, "Little Pear, happy birthday. These are all birthday gifts your family prepared for you in advance."

Jiang Chengle opened his suitcase and took out a gift separately. "Xiaoli, this is a gift from Xiaoyu."

She nodded. "I received her 'SOSO' message."

While they were eating, Dafu, Zhong Yuan, Ruan Jiajia, Quan Wenyan and others came to visit one by one.
