The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 293 - 291: Gu Qinyue’s Wish

On the ceiling of the living room, pink heart-shaped balloons were hung everywhere, and on the front wall, the words "Happy Birthday" made of light yellow soft balloons were quite conspicuous. Strings of red thread hung down from the ceiling, each with a cute little pendant and photos of Gu Qinyue.

These photos were all taken by Zhao Mengke with her phone, and she bought a small photo printer to print them herself.

Since she joined this family, every little moment together with everyone has been recorded and hung in front of her with the falling red strings.

As Gu Qinyue saw the scenes in front of her, she was so shocked she couldn’t say a word, and involuntarily walked in slowly.

Her laughing expression, the way she eats in small bites, her unflattering sleeping posture, and her shyly avoiding the camera with pursed lips.

Every expression was captured on the photos, freezing those wonderful moments in time.

Among all those expressions, there were none of her being upset or sad.

It seemed that since being with everyone, every day has been so warm and pleasant, with lively Sister Meng Ke and gentle Sister Yu Han, every day is full of laughter and joy.

The villa’s decor is actually very simple and elegant, and to others, these decorations might seem childish and shallow, utterly lacking in aesthetic appeal, clumsily like children’s play.

However, precisely because of this, the sincerity inside and everyone’s birthday blessings made Gu Qinyue feel it even more clearly.

She looked for a long time, her eyes involuntarily turning red. With a hint of grievance in her voice, she quietly opened her mouth and said:

"I...I thought, thought you all had forgotten."

Lin Yuhan looked at her eyes, shiny and wet like a little deer’s, and smiled slightly. She walked up, gently took Gu Qinyue’s hand, and said:

"Silly girl, how could we forget, today is your coming-of-age ceremony. After today, you’ll be eighteen years old!"

"Hehe, exactly. After today, little Qinyue becomes an adult, come on, share your thoughts."

Zhao Mengke also came over at this moment, surrounding Gu Qinyue with a cheerful smile and said.

Gu Qinyue’s face was flushed with excitement, but she just kept giggling foolishly, unable to say a word.

Just at this moment, Qin Hao, from the second floor railing, shouted at them with a smile: "Surprise!!"

As his words fell, he also set off the confetti popper in his hand.

"Bang! Bang!"

The confetti fell down in a flutter above their heads. Startled, Gu Qinyue exclaimed, and soon her head and shoulders were covered with colorful confetti bits.

"Happy Birthday! Do you want big brother to hold a special adult ceremony for you today, to let you experience the fun of adulthood?" Qin Hao casually wobbled the empty confetti tube in one hand while leaning on the banister, looking teasingly at Gu Qinyue below.

Zhao Mengke immediately frowned angrily, then looked at Qin Hao dissatisfiedly and shouted: "Get lost, you big rascal, be careful you don’t fall and kill yourself!"

Qin Hao laughed heartily and then said: "Haha, this height won’t kill me." As he spoke, he lightly leaped down and pushed out a cake cart from one side of the hall.

"Haven’t you heard? Good people don’t live long, troublemakers live a thousand years. I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, I’ll be around to trouble you for a long time."

As he spoke, he had already pushed the three-tiered cake cart in front of Gu Qinyue.

On the topmost layer of the cake was a pink Hello Kitty, with a goofy big face already adorned with eighteen candles. Gu Qinyue’s eyes lit up when she saw the big cake, this was her first time truly seeing a cake in front of her like this.

When her master was around, each birthday she would only cook a bowl of long-life noodles for her. Looking at the cake in front of her, Gu Qinyue couldn’t help but think of her master.

If she were still here, seeing this scene would surely make her very gratified.

As she thought of this, tears slightly shimmered in Gu Qinyue’s eyes. She looked at Qin Hao in front of her, and at Zhao Mengke and Lin Yuhan beside her, gently wrinkling her little nose, and earnestly said:

"Thank you, thank you all. I...I don’t know what to say."

With a gentle smile, Qin Hao asked, "Do you like it?"

Gu Qinyue nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! I love it, absolutely love it!"

"That’s good, so, for what you want to say, just make a wish."

Qin Hao said, then helped Gu Qinyue light the candles.

The flickering candlelight gently swayed as Gu Qinyue was about to close her eyes when Qin Hao’s phone suddenly rang.

He quickly took it out to glance at it, then seeing Qin Wentian’s name displayed, he frowned with displeasure, put his phone on silent, and put it back in his pocket.

"So annoying, calling at this time, good thing our Qinyue hadn’t made a wish yet; otherwise, if it got interrupted, it wouldn’t come true."

Qin Hao said with a serious look, and Lin Yuhan and Zhao Mengke also quickly checked their phones, then very deliberately set them on silent, and looked at Gu Qinyue expectantly.

A warm feeling surged in Gu Qinyue’s heart again.

She recalled what her master had said, that the meaning of superstition lies in caring and reverence in one’s heart. Because you care, you choose to believe.

Back then, when her master sincerely prayed, she never understood the significance. But now, being in an environment filled with love, with people she cared for, she finally understood.

She took a deep breath, shut her eyes softly, and solemnly made her wish in her heart.

"I wish to be with Brother Qin Hao, Sister Meng Ke, and Sister Yu Han forever, never to be apart."

She opened her eyes, and Zhao Mengke and Lin Yuhan were wide-eyed, looking at her expectantly.

"Did you make it?"

"Yes, I did. I just..."

Zhao Mengke quickly made a shushing gesture, and with a serious face, said: "Shh—! Never say it out loud, quickly blow out the candles all in one breath!"

"Ah, oh! Okay."

Gu Qinyue quickly shut her mouth, then nodded frantically, took a deep breath, and easily blew out all the candles in one go.

"Wow! Awesome, awesome, quickly cut the cake, the baby can’t wait any longer!"

Zhao Mengke clapped her hands eagerly, her eyes nearly glued to the cake, almost drooling, looking like a foodie.

Gu Qinyue’s little face also showed an expression of anticipation.

The modern world had given her so many novel experiences, if anything was the most tempting, it must be the adorable and sweet treats like cakes.

Qin Hao took the knife and fork, but at that moment, his phone persistently lit up again, with Qin Wentian’s call coming through one after another!!
