Gu Weiwei was engrossed in preparing the cake and didn't notice that Gu Siting was watching her.
Once the cake was ready, he looked at its design with satisfaction and smiled to himself.
"This should be fine..."
"It's very beautiful," Gu Siting commented.
Gu Weiwei looked up at the person who had been standing there for who knows how long, "You...when did you get back?"
“Just now,” Gu Siting said with an elegant chuckle.
Gu Weiwei wiped her hands and said, "The cake is ready. How about French red wine steak for dinner?"
"Okay." Gu Siting nodded with a smile.
While preparing the vegetables and fruits to accompany the steak, Gu Weiwei asked.
How well cooked?
"Seven points."
Gu Siting stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the door, watching the people busy in the kitchen with great interest, as if it were the most beautiful scenery in the world.
After preparing the vegetables, Gu Weiwei started frying the steak, and it was ready in no time.
Two plates of well-prepared French red wine steaks were placed on the table, accompanied by brightly colored vegetables, looking exceptionally exquisite.
Gu Weiwei carried a tray of food towards the restaurant, asking, "Can I call my mother now?"
Gu Siting helped bring the cake to the table and agreed to her request.
In fact, he had spoken to his mother on the phone more than an hour earlier, asking her to communicate with him as he requested for the time being, and to discuss other matters when she returned.
He arranged the cake and dialed Mrs. Gu's number.
He said a few words, but when he turned around, he saw Gu Weiwei rummaging through her handbag.
He covered his phone and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Gu Weiwei scratched her head and said, "Painkillers, but I still have a bit of a headache."
Gu Siting thought for a moment, "They might be in the car."
"Oh, I'll go look for it," Gu Weiwei said, then asked him for the key to go find it herself.
Gu Siting handed her the phone and said, "You talk to your mother, I'll go find her."
Gu Weiwei smiled and nodded, then took the phone and looked for birthday candles as she spoke.
“Aunt Gu, I thought I would see you and Grandpa when I came back, but you are not here.”
"It's my brother's birthday, you guys are so heartless to leave the two of us to celebrate it."
...
As Gu Siting listened to her coquettishly pleading with her mother as she always had, he gently curled the corners of his lips, grabbed his car keys, and went to the car to find her painkillers.
Gu Weiwei held her phone, glancing towards the living room as she spoke.
Gu Siting remembered that she had taken medicine in the car at noon, and it took him a while to find it.
When he returned with the medicine, Gu Weiwei had already switched from phone to video call with Madam Gu, proudly showing off the cakes and French cuisine she had made.
He put the medicine on the table, and seeing that they were chatting happily, he poured a glass of water and put it on the table so that she could take her medicine later.
Gu Weiwei looked at him and then spoke to Madam Gu.
"Aunt Gu, please say happy birthday to my brother. We're about to eat."
After saying that, she pointed her phone at Gu Siting.
Mrs. Gu waved to Gu Siting through the phone and said with a complicated expression.
"Happy birthday, Si Ting."
Gu Weiwei took back her phone and waved to the person on the screen.
Goodbye, Aunt Gu. Come back soon.
Madam Gu smiled and agreed, waving goodbye to her.
Gu Weiwei hung up the phone, put it on the table, quickly lit the candles, and cheerfully sang "Happy Birthday."
"Make a wish and blow out the candles?"
