"It's just a deathbed struggle. There's no need to take it to heart."
As she said those words, a hint of hostility flashed across her eyes.
Yes, it's a deathbed struggle. I'll let her gloat for a moment. The more Grandpa Lin flaunts and praises her now, the more tragic her death will be!
What is this called? Death by flattery?
…
When it was nearing eight o 'clock, Auntie Sun stood up apologetically and stopped the people who were about to present Grandpa Lin's birthday present.
At eight o 'clock sharp, the moment that Shi Yao had been looking forward to the entire night arrived — the moment when the birthday song was sung and the birthday cake was cut.
There were too many people present, so even though the birthday cake was huge, it wasn't as big as everyone had expected.
Thus, throughout the entire process of cutting and distributing the cake, Shi Yao's heart ached as if it was shedding a piece of flesh. In the end, when she saw that the cake had been distributed cleanly, she felt as if someone had stabbed a knife into her heart, and blood gushed out of it. It took a long while before she picked up her fork and started eating the cake in front of her.
Grandpa Lin didn't like sweets, so he symbolically took a piece of cake with his fork and passed the rest to Shi Yao.
As if she had just received a treasure, Shi Yao happily accepted the cake. Even her voice sounded sweeter than before, "Thank you, Grandpa Lin."
In order to control her figure, Lin Jiayi rarely ate high-calorie food at night. So, just like Grandpa Lin, she symbolically took a small piece of cake with her before passing the rest to Shi Yao.
With another piece of cake in her hands, Shi Yao was even more delighted. Her smile was so bright that even her eyebrows were raised into the sky. "Thank you, Sis Jiayi."
Seeing her reaction, Lin Jiage thought to himself, "It's just two pieces of cake. Is there a need to be so happy?" The next second, he pushed his untouched piece of cake to Shi Yao and said, "Eat more if you like it …"
Having finished a piece of cake, Shi Yao placed the empty plate by the side and took the piece of cake that Lin Jiage had passed to her. As she stabbed the cake with her fork, she gave Lin Jiage a radiant smile.
Due to the food in her mouth, she didn't say a word. However, her action of taking the initiative to eat the cake had pleased him …
In an instant, Lin Jiage's mood lightened up. The next moment, he turned to his parents, big aunt, and uncle who were seated beside him and asked, "Dad, aren't you unable to eat sweets due to your high blood sugar level? I'll take this one away so that it won't go to waste … "
"Also, Mom, aren't you on a diet just like Lin Jiayi? So don't eat too much … "
"Auntie, you're about to reach 100 pounds, right? You have to control your appetite. I'll take this cake for you … "
"Uncle, I thought you didn't like to eat cantaloupe? Look, there's cantaloupe on your cake, so I'll be a good person and help you deal with this cake … "
It couldn't be helped. Soft Bun liked to eat, so he could only thicken his skin and help her snatch her food … With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage took out the four plates of cake and arranged them neatly, waiting for Shi Yao to finish her cake before feeding it to her.
After cutting the cake, not long after, someone came to give Old Master Lin a gift.
Most of those present were juniors around the same age as Lin Jiayi and Lin Jiage, so naturally, they didn't have as many restrictions on etiquette.
