Yuzuru released his grip, took out his phone, and checked the date again.
April 28th…
I see.
A knowing and warm smile bloomed on his lips.
He put away his phone, no longer hesitated, and strode towards the tightly closed villa gate.
Place both hands on the door and apply slight pressure.
"Bang!!!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The villa's gate was suddenly pushed open.
Almost simultaneously, cannons roared, and colorful ribbons and sequins rained down from overhead like dazzling raindrops.
"Welcome home, Master Yuzuru/Naughty Little Brother/Nan/Little Nan/Nan-kun/Little Master/Husband/Brother Yuzuru/Brother-in-law, Happy Birthday!!!"
The unified yet unique blessings converged into a warm current, instantly enveloping Yuzuru Hanyu.
He stood at the doorway, looking at the scene before him. Even though he had expected it, his heart couldn't help but flutter slightly.
The living room was meticulously decorated, adorned with ribbons and balloons. In the center stood a huge, multi-tiered cake decorated with exquisite frosting and fresh fruit, topped with number-shaped candles, the soft candlelight illuminating every smiling face.
Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Hongye stood at the front, their faces showing a hint of mischievousness at the success of their plan and a heart full of blessings.
Behind them were Natsumi Kosaka and Akemi, wearing cute aprons; clearly, they were the ones who prepared tonight's birthday feast.
Vermouth, with her little tail following her, leaned against the stairs, holding a firework tube that had just been set off, her blue eyes filled with a playful yet gentle smile.
Even Ai temporarily abandoned her aloofness, a faint, gentle smile playing on her lips, her icy blue eyes reflecting the candlelight.
What surprised Hanyu Nan even more was that not only the girls in the villa, but also Toyama Kazuha and Nakamori Aoko had arrived from Osaka and Ekoda at some point. They were standing next to Ran, their pretty faces flushed as they looked at him with blessings in their eyes.
Akemi, Ran, Sonoko, Kazuha, Momiji, Aoko, Kimie, Natsumi, Shizuka-sensei, Yukiko, Eri, Ayako-nee, Chikage Kuroba, Vermouth, Aoran, Reiko Akiba, Natsumi, Tomoko Suzuki... almost all the women closely related to him were here, gathered together.
Even Sera Masumi mingled in the crowd, grinning from ear to ear, seemingly having completely integrated into the group.
There was also the younger sister who was invited by the Miyano sisters as an elder.
And Sato Miwako, Miyamoto Yumi, and Miike Naeko, who had just made an excuse to leave, were now peeking in through the door, their faces beaming with the bright smiles of someone who had pulled off a prank.
Each of them had a bright smile on their face and held a small confetti canister or a "Happy Birthday" banner in their hand.
Looking at the grand and heartwarming scene before him, and at the faces that were gentle, lively, elegant, charming, or cute, Yu Sheng Nan was filled with an unprecedented sense of happiness.
He laughed, a smile as warm and dazzling as sunlight breaking through the clouds.
"Thank you... thank you everyone."
"This is... the best birthday gift I've ever received."
It turns out that the feeling of being remembered and loved by so many people is so wonderful.
He received this birthday surprise.
Moreover, I really like it.
.........
"Hey little brother, stop daydreaming! Come on, blow out the candles and make a wish!"
Yukiko couldn't wait to remind him.
Ikeba Shizuka looked at him gently: "Come on, Xiaonan."
Surrounded by the crowd, Yuzuru walked to the cake. The candlelight flickered, illuminating his handsome profile. He closed his eyes, made a wish earnestly, and then blew out all the candles in one breath.
"Happy birthday!"
Cheers erupted again.
Next came the lively celebration.
The banquet was held in a spacious backyard.
Right in front of the Hanyu Shrine.
Akemi, pastry chef Natsumi Kosaka, and Shizuka Ikenami, the "King of Dinner" who came all the way from Osaka, joined forces to create a delicious and visually appealing birthday feast.
A certain lawyer, who couldn't stand being alone, also tried to squeeze into the kitchen to show her "virtuous" side, but was ruthlessly "invited" out by the three of them on the grounds that "the kitchen is a restricted area and no unauthorized personnel are allowed in."
Just kidding, if Eri Kisaki were to take action, this meticulously prepared birthday party would probably turn into "The Last Supper."
—Literally.
Everyone sat around the specially extended dining table, their laughter almost lifting the night sky. One after another, carefully prepared dishes were served, their aromas filling the air and making everyone's mouths water.
Yingying and Bobo, these two little guys.
Today, a rare peace agreement was reached. Each person occupied a corner of the table, engrossed in the specially prepared, nutritionally balanced fairy food in front of them, eating with gusto and humming happily.
Milotic gracefully swayed its magnificent tail in the river, expressing utter disdain for this "freeloading" behavior.
She, a dignified empress, possessed a natural dignity; how could she be so out of control?
Then, with a smile, Yuzuru handed her a specially made, exquisite water-elf dessert adorned with raspberries and blueberries.
Milotic: "......" (So delicious!)
After dinner, it was time for the much-anticipated cake.
A huge, multi-tiered cake was brought up, and the candles were lit again.
As everyone sang "Happy Birthday," Yuzuru Hanyu smiled and blew out the candles.
Then……
It's unclear who started it, but perhaps it was Yukiko, the "good older sister" who never grows up, who quietly smeared a piece of cake covered in cream onto the side of Hanyu Nan's face.
This was like lighting a fuse.
"Wow! Yukiko-neechan, you ambushed me!"
"Hahaha! Nan Jun, take this!"
"My lord, I'm so sorry!"
"Little master, this is a blessing~"
A chaotic and hilarious cream fight erupted instantly!
The girls, who are usually dignified, elegant, or aloof, have completely let go of their inhibitions at this moment, like a group of carefree children, laughing and chasing each other, smearing cream on one another.
Even mature women like Shizuka Ikenami, Eri Kisaki, Tomoko Suzuki, and even Vermouth, who usually exude a strong aura, were infected by the joyful atmosphere and couldn't help but join the "battle," their faces adorned with rare, carefree smiles that resembled those of a young girl.
The backyard was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, startling a chorus of warbling birds.
