Chapter 55: Cake Cutting
This shooting star was exceptionally bright.
The large white sphere resembled another moon in the sky, falling from west to east, trailing a long and beautiful multicolored tail.
Its brightness was enough for Wen Yu to see the expressions of the people around him, all of them looking up attentively and earnestly.
Fu Chengque was also looking up, and Wen Yu could even see the gleam in her eyes moving slowly with the shooting star.
He glanced at the corner of the courtyard.
The little stone was gone.
There was nothing beside it either. It disappeared in just a moment, and it was so quiet just now, without hearing any animal sounds. Where did it go?
Wen Yu raised his head, and by now, the shooting star had burned out, leaving only a faint trace.
Was that it?
But his skill should have failed, or “succeeded but not completely,” so why did the shooting star appear again? Coincidence?
Has the worldline changed? There were no shooting stars on this day in his past life, and yet they appeared very coincidentally in this world?
Unable to understand, unable to comprehend, countless words and threads condensed into one truth—
The system is really annoying.
Among them, Fu Chengque was the first to come to her senses.
“What a beautiful shooting star, I’ve never truly seen one before.”
Fang Ling also said, “It’s really beautiful. I thought it was gone, but it came at the last moment.”
“I forgot to take a photo.” Lu Min took out her phone, with a slight regret on her face.
Xiao Gua hugged Fu Chengque, very happy, “Chengque, the shooting star really came, your birthday wish will definitely come true twice!”
This sentence made Fu Chengque somewhat moved.
The shooting star came so suddenly.
It was basically at the moment after she made her wish. Could it be related to her? Does it have anything to do with her abilities?
She just used her special ability, fulfilled one of Wen Yu’s wishes, so what changes did Wen Yu undergo? What was his wish?
Fu Chengque secretly glanced at the boy.
Seeing the boy lost in thought, she carefully observed him.
There didn’t seem to be any particularly significant changes. Was his wish too small or too insignificant to detect?
For example, wishing for a few more hairs on his head;
Or wishing for clear weather tomorrow;
Or…
Suddenly, Fu Chengque’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up to where the shooting star had disappeared, but now there was no trace left, although she remembered the location.
If, just if—
Was Wen Yu’s wish to make the shooting star appear?!
As she was thinking, Fang Ling hugged her. “The cake hasn’t been cut yet. Let’s cut the cake!”
“Oh, right, the cake. Let’s go cut the cake.”
Fu Chengque couldn’t make sense of it for a moment, and she hadn’t noticed anything special about Wen Yu for the time being. She couldn’t just ask Wen Yu if he had made a wish, right? That would be too risky. She decided to wait and see what happened.
Everyone returned to the table and happily began cutting the cake.
Fu Chengque made two cuts and sliced out a piece with a crown decoration.
“This piece, I want to give to Wen Yu!”
She handed the cake to Wen Yu and continued, “Wen Yu prepared this birthday party for me. I really, really like it, and he helped us deal with the teachers and parents, although I don’t know how he did it, but it must have been difficult!”
Several girls nodded in agreement, “I think so too, it was hard work.”
“So, the first piece with the crown on it, is for you, Wen Yu! Thank you.”
Wen Yu took the cake, smiled, and asked, “What’s the significance of this crown?”
“Well…” Fu Chengque rubbed her chin, pondering, “Ah! When I’m no longer Empress, the throne will pass to you!”
“Abdication system?”
“Hereditary system.”
“Okay, so your ambition with this crown is so far-reaching!”
“I am the future eternal Empress, why can’t you inherit my throne through hereditary succession!”
“Then how does this relate to family relationships?”
“Adoption?”
“Then whom shall I pass it on to?”
“My daughter!”
“Hereditary system?”
“You’re taking advantage of me!”
“You’re the one really taking advantage of me!”
Wen Yu and Fu Chengque bantered back and forth while the others watched with smiles on their faces.
Fu Chengque cut another piece and gave it to Xiao Gua.
“Thank you, Xiao Gua, for always being by my side. You’re an angel! I know you’ve been through a lot too, but if you ever need help, you must tell me. I’m the Empress, I can definitely help you out.”
“Hahaha, okay, then I’ll have a house full of handsome guys in the future, and you must protect me.”
“No problem!”
The third and fourth pieces were given to Fang Ling and Lu Min, respectively.
“Thank you, Xiao Ling, for your help. Without you, there would be no me, Fu Chengque, today! Your great kindness cannot be repaid. I will remember this and repay it doubly in the future!”
“What’s up with you today?”
“I’m very happy today!” Fu Chengque proudly said, “Without you, I wouldn’t be happy today!”
“Wow, Chengque, you have such a sweet way of speaking.”
“Hehehe.”
“Gentle and beautiful Xiao Min, thank you very much too. Without your care on weekdays, I would definitely have a hard time doing things. You healed me.”
“It’s not just me, it’s also because you, Chengque, are excellent and hardworking, that’s why everyone helps you.”
“I see!”
Wen Yu tapped Fu Chengque’s head, “You accept compliments so readily, you should be more modest.”
Fu Chengque pretended to be angry, “You rascal, do you still want the throne?”
She brandished a balloon stick menacingly, “I’ll teach you what ‘when a nobleman is angered, corpses will be everywhere’ means!” and then tapped Wen Yu’s head a few times.
Wen Yu jumped up and exclaimed, “The tyrant mocks me, that’s called ‘when the emperor is angered’!”
He turned around and wiped some cream on his hand, shouting, “Today’s Empress is tyrannical and incompetent, how can I not rebel? Even when defeated, I will fight back, even when smearing cream, I will fight back, dare I fight back?”
With a splat, he smeared it on Fu Chengque’s face.
Before Fu Chengque could recover from Wen Yu’s incomprehensible words, she heard a voice from behind.
“The world has been waiting for an opportunity for a long time.”
Lu Min also slapped cream on her face.
Taking advantage of Fu Chengque’s lack of response, Fang Ling wiped cream on her face while chanting, “King Wen Yu! King Wen Yu!”
Xiao Gua was also excited. She grabbed a large chunk of cream and shouted, “I’m the same!”
Unfortunately, she was the only one who was different. Fu Chengque had already caught on, and she quickly grabbed some cream, slapped it on Xiao Gua’s face, and looked at the disheveled Xiao Gua with a triumphant laugh, “I fought against four and didn’t lose, I won!”
Laughing, she turned around and rushed towards Wen Yu.
Extending her hands covered in cream, she was about to touch Wen Yu’s face. Wen Yu didn’t dare to let her touch, so he grabbed Fu Chengque’s wrist and tried to push it back.
But Fu Chengque was surprisingly strong, and instead, Wen Yu slipped and ended up sitting on the couch.
Wen Yu cried out, “Brothers, come help me!”
Xiao Gua immediately switched sides, “You don’t have brothers, we’re all sisters here. Chengque, I’ll help you!”
Fang Ling and Lu Min also looked at Wen Yu with strange expressions.
Seeing this, Wen Yu could only retreat.
For a moment, the room was chaotic, but it was filled with laughter…
