Shen Di didn’t realize that he was going to disappear until the clown invited him to the stage. He had never seen this kind of magic before, and he only remembered that in TV dramas, making a person disappear meant killing him.

He turned his head to look at the clown again, and found the face more and more weird, and burst into tears.

The clown picked him up and comforted him in a funny voice: “Don’t be afraid, little friend, it’s okay, I will change you back again.”

Shen Di couldn’t hear anything at all. He only knew that the clown’s big face was getting closer to him, and he cried even louder.

Yu Xi mustered up the courage to raise his hand: “It’s my turn, Uncle Clown, let me go up.”

He was very curious about how magical this clown was. He also felt that he was the little host today and had to take care of the emotions of all the little guests and not make them unhappy.

The clown put Shen Di back to his seat with a big red mouth, and Shen Di stopped crying immediately.

Then the clown turned around and happily made an invitation gesture to Yu Xi: “Then please invite our little birthday boy to come on stage!”

Yu Xi tried to stand up eagerly, but he felt a force pulling him tightly from behind, and he couldn’t stand up at all.

He turned around and saw Gu Beilu’s lips pressed into a line, tightly holding the corner of his clothes.

“Derek, I’m going to go on stage, don’t hold me.”

Gu Beilu didn’t let go and didn’t say anything.

Yu Xi felt very strange and poked his fist with his index finger again, but he still refused to let go.

The clown on the stage urged, Yu Xi was a little anxious, but Gu Beilu didn’t say anything, and he didn’t know what was going on.

Although Gu Beilu knew that the magic was fake, the immersive atmosphere made it hard for him not to be involved. Watching Shen Di disappear, even for just one second, would make him happy. But if he watched Yu Xi disappear, he wouldn’t want to be there even for one second.

The shadow of Yu Xi getting lost still lingered in his mind, and he didn’t want to simulate it again.

The clown saw that the two children were in a stalemate and laughed, “Aha, it seems that another child wants to join in, so let’s both come up together!”

Yu Xi was stunned for a moment, and then was pulled up on stage by Gu Beilu. With the applause of the clown and other children, they stood on the magic table.

“Okay, dear children, today’s most exciting performance is here! Watch it carefully and don’t blink.”

The script was meant for the young audience, but Yu Xi at the magic table nodded unconsciously, took a deep breath, and stared with eyes wide open without daring to blink.

He was a little excited and a little nervous. If he didn’t see him, where would he go? His little head was full of questions.

Gu Beilu turned his head to look at the stiff Yu Xi, clenched his right fist behind his back, and gently squeezed Yu Xi’s small hand with his left hand.

His hands were a little cold, and Gu Beilu knew that Yu Xi was nervous.

He tilted his head and whispered in Yu Xi’s ear: “Don’t be afraid, I’m with you. We can change back again.”

Yu Xi’s body relaxed. When he wanted to turn around and say that he was not afraid, the clown lifted the tablecloth and his eyes suddenly went dark.

When they came to their senses, they had been sent to the lower floor by the automatic table, and the tablecloth covered them tightly.

Gu Beilu was right in front of him, pinching his hands, pinching his face, and stuffing a piece of candy into his mouth.

“D…” He just uttered half a syllable when his mouth was covered. Gu Beilu made a shushing gesture to him, and then he noticed that the clown was laughing outside and asking the children where they had gone.

So this is how magic is done! Yu Xi suddenly realized.

In the small, enclosed space, he was afraid of exposing his true identity and ruining the performance, so he didn’t dare to move or make a sound.

Yu Xi is usually very cheerful and rarely gets so reserved. He curled up his body and didn’t even dare to blink, which made him seem even more obedient.

The marshmallow was so soft and fragrant that Gu Beilu gnashed his teeth unconsciously.

The next second, with a “boom”, the mechanism on the table started and light returned.

Amid the cheers, the clown said, “Let’s welcome our friends back! Let’s give the warmest applause to the two bravest children again.”

Gu Beilu put down his hand that was covering Yu Xi’s mouth, and he actually felt a little disappointed. But Yu Xi was very happy. He thought it was really amazing. They were involved in the shocking secret of the big magic, and other children didn’t know it!

He couldn’t help but applaud themselves.

That’s awesome! He and Gu Beilu are indeed the bravest kids in the class!

It turns out that celebrating birthdays is so joyful. I wish I could celebrate my birthday every day.

When it came to eating cake, Yu Xi found that the happiness was far more than that. Usually, he could only eat a small piece of cake, but on his birthday, he could eat such a big piece, which was not only delicious but also beautiful.

His cake was made to match the birthday theme and look like the underwater world. Each child would get a marine animal on the cake.

Gu Beilu grabbed the first one and specifically asked for the one with the little shark. Yu Xi was very surprised. He didn’t expect Gu Beilu to be so proactive in participating in this activity.

The cream war was the last reserved item of the cake. Smearing cream on each other’s faces was the favorite game among children. In the yard, a group of children chased and played happily, with white cream all over their faces and heads.

As the birthday boy, Yu Xi naturally became the most popular cream man, and every child was vying to paint cream on his face.

Gu Beilu stood aside and watched coldly. If the butler had not reminded him before he left, he would have rushed up and beaten those people when he saw so many people bullying Yu Xi.

The housekeeper said, “The cream war is a very important part of a birthday party. People like to smear cream on the birthday boy’s face, which represents blessing the birthday boy. It is a good thing. So, Master, don’t be too shocked when you see this scene later.”

Gu Beilu felt that he was not shocked, but he didn’t seem too happy either.

Shen Di liked this game the most and played it the craziest. He smeared several marks on everyone. When he ran in front of Gu Beilu, he suddenly braked. Gu Beilu’s face and clothes were clean. Shen Di immediately withdrew his hand covered with butter, looked terrified, and turned around and ran away.

Yu Xi happened to see this scene and remembered that not long ago Shen Di was still saying that Gu Beilu had become friendly. How come it has gone back to the way it was before?

As he thought about it, he licked the cream on the corner of his mouth and almost didn’t notice that Gu Beilu suddenly walked towards him, stretched out his fingers to scrape the cream off his face, and stared at him again.

Yu Xi didn’t know what this meant, but he felt that Gu Beilu had a lot of fun today: “Derek, do you like today’s cream cake?”

Gu Beilu put the cream on his finger into his mouth and tasted it: “Hmm, now it’s sweeter than before.”

Yu Xi tilted his head: “Why is it sweeter than before?”

It’s all the same cream.

This was an overnight birthday party. At night, Yu’s parents prepared a few small tents for the children in the living room. They looked like a row of small houses in the underwater world. After watching Finding Nemo, the children went to sleep in them, like a group of tired fish returning to the coral reef. It was very ceremonial.

Yu Xi was so excited that he couldn’t sleep and tossed and turned in the small tent. He spent the whole day like a dream and was so happy.

After a while, he suddenly had an idea and wanted to go out to see if everyone was asleep. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the curtain, Gu Beilu came in.

“Derek! Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Yu Xi lowered his voice, fearing that he would wake up the sleeping person.

When he found out that Gu Beilu was not asleep either, he became even more excited, and he felt the thrill of passing notes in class.

Gu Beilu lay down beside him and said in a low voice, “I can’t sleep, and I know you haven’t slept either.”

Yu Xi nodded vigorously: “I’m not sleepy at all!”

He just couldn’t sleep and wanted to find someone to chat with. He didn’t want to just sleep like this after such a happy day.

Gu Beilu knew that he was actually sleepy, but he was too excited and felt like a chicken with blood injected.

“Did you make a wish before eating the cake just now?”

“yes.”

“Then you have to go to bed early, so that your birthday wish will come true.”

“Really?”

“Really, the earlier you go to bed, the easier it is to achieve.”

Yu Xi was half-believing and half-doubting. Just as he was wondering whether it was true or not, he suddenly felt sleepy.

He raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned, and said with tears in his eyes: “Good night Derek…”

As soon as his voice fell, he closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep with even breathing.

The children’s tent for one person seemed a bit crowded for two people to sleep in, so Yu Xi quickly turned over and hugged Gu Beilu as a pillow.

Although Gu Beilu felt a little uncomfortable, he did not move. He was originally lying on his side facing Yu Xi. Now looking at the sleeping Yu Xi, he looked even softer and more delicious.

Even though he was so close, he could smell the milky scent on Yu Xi’s body.

He gritted his teeth again and couldn’t help but lean forward and take a bite of the little marshmallow-like cheek.

Just now when he was under the clown’s magic table, he wanted to bite it.
