Is This a Normal Sibling Relationship

After dinner, Shen Nian and Xia Yanchun went back to their respective rooms to take a shower. After they finished, the four adults were still chatting downstairs just like before.

When buying the cake, Shen Nian had specifically bought a large bag of sunflower seeds. They were cracking them with enthusiasm, dropping the shells all over the floor, which would have to be swept up tomorrow.

At nine o'clock at night, the stars dotted the sky.

"Time to cut the cake, time to cut the cake." Shen Nian brought out his chocolate mango cake right on time.

His cake was not as big as Xia Yanchun's. It only had one layer, and it would basically be gone if everyone ate two slices.

Last time, during Xia Yanchun's birthday, he had to finish all the leftover cake by himself. It couldn't be kept for too long, and eating too much made him feel sick of it, so buying a single-layer cake was the most suitable.

While Shen Nian was putting the candles on, Xia Yanchun quietly slipped back home and brought over a large gift box. It was tied with a ribbon, looking exactly like a gift box from an anime.

"Nineteen years old now."

Shen Nian inserted nineteen small candles and lit them one by one. He turned off the lights, and the candlelight flickered in the room, casting a warm glow over everyone's faces.

"Happy birthday!"

Chen Minyue started it, and after the happy birthday came the birthday song...

Shen Nian scratched his head and began to make his wishes in all seriousness.

This year, he wanted to make a lot of money, wished for health and happiness for his family and the neighbors next door, a colorful and vibrant college life, and a lifetime of peace and safety for everyone who treated him well.

The broad-minded Shen Nian, even though he had been suppressed by Shen Yue since childhood, let go of past grievances today and made a wish for her, hoping she would soon meet her own affectionate, tall, rich, and handsome guy.

With a biological brother like this, what time would you come home?

Once his older sister snagged an affectionate, tall, rich, and handsome guy, he could use sweet words to turn her into someone who endlessly supported her younger brother, and he would rise to success along with her. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Come on, I'll cut the cake for you." After making his wishes, Shen Nian started cutting the cake. He kept the slice with the most chocolate for himself and distributed the rest.

Xia Yanchun took the slice with the most fruit.

When it came to eating cake, the phone usually ate first.

Xia Yanchun had already taken several pictures of the whole cake when Shen Nian unboxed it. Now that it was cut, she had to take a few more, picking the sweetest filter and matching it with the softest caption to be the sweetest beautiful girl.

Wen Zhining looked at her daughter's little antics and rarely complained, "Taking pictures over and over just for a cake, it's not like you haven't eaten one before."

"It's different! When you encounter beautiful things, you definitely have to document them as much as possible!"

"You're calling eating a cake beautiful now."

Xia Yanchun pouted, feeling that her mother was a bit old-fashioned. Girls nowadays all loved taking pictures of delicious food.

Not just delicious food, but milk tea, shoes, and flowers and grass by the roadside could all become subjects for girls' photos.

Sure enough, it was impossible not to have a generation gap between two generations. Such a normal thing was actually considered weird in her mother's eyes.

Xia Yanchun grumbled in her heart and continued to take her pictures, her mind already starting to think about the caption she would use later.

However, before posting on her status and moments, she still had to give the gift she prepared to Shen Nian.

"Here, your gift."

Xia Yanchun ate a piece of mango cream before bringing the gift to the table.

"Such a big one?" Shen Nian picked it up and gave it a gentle shake. It was neither heavy nor light, and there was no sound. He couldn't guess what was inside.

"You can only open it when you go back to your room."

"Looks like it's something unpresentable," Shen Nian concluded with certainty.

"Your gift is the unpresentable one!" Xia Yanchun flared up immediately. If today wasn't Shen Nian's birthday, her beautiful girl flying kick would have already landed on Shen Nian's leg.

Shen Nian stayed silent, just focusing on eating his cake.

This trick of provoking someone and then ignoring them was something Shen Nian never tired of using.

Xia Yanchun got even angrier.

Wen Zhining watched all this. No matter how she looked at it, her daughter was the one being teased, but she just inexplicably wanted to laugh.

These two kids really had been bickering since they were little.

"Hey, Shen Nian, Little Chun, have your admission notices arrived yet?" Chen Minyue asked curiously.

Shen Nian swallowed the food in his mouth. "Not yet, I think tomorrow."

"I see."

"What's wrong, do you think us two little monsters are an eyesore at home?"

"How could I? I just want to see your admission letters."

"It won't be too long, they'll be here soon."

"That works." Chen Minyue nodded.

On the side, Xia Yanchun had already finished a whole piece of mango cake.

As the best bestie in the world, Xia Yanchun even sent a picture to Li Shiyan to make her crave it.

But wait, Xia Yanchun actually had serious business to attend to today!

Xia Yanchun quietly cut herself another small piece of cake, her eyes secretly scanning her surroundings. Shen Nian, her own parents were there, and his parents were also there...

Although her parents knew about her relationship with Shen Nian, his parents didn't.

The photos she and Shen Nian posted online could basically be considered an official announcement. Their friends knew, her bestie knew, and her own parents knew about her relationship with Shen Nian. Only his parents were still kept in the dark.

Before graduation, she had been planning to make their relationship public, but she hadn't managed to do it even now. If her parents hadn't found out on their own, they would probably be just like his parents right now.

Official announcement! Today was the day to make it official!

Xia Yanchun gave herself a thumbs-up in her heart, cheering herself on. Only after fully preparing herself mentally did she start to take action.

In fact, Xia Yanchun had definitely overestimated herself. She originally thought that once she was mentally prepared, everything would naturally fall into place. However, during the time she spent preparing herself, her face had already started to burn on its own, covered in an obvious blush.

She shuffled over to sit next to Shen Nian, slightly lowered her head, and in front of everyone, used the fork she had been eating with to scoop up a small piece of cake and held it out to Shen Nian's lips.

"Ah..."

Shen Nian blinked, looking at Xia Yanchun and then at the fork covered in cream, failing to react for a moment.

"Hurry, hurry up and eat it. Why are you looking at me..." The young girl's voice was soft and gentle.

"..."

Shen Nian came to his senses, took it into his mouth, and ate the cake. The sweet and rich cream mixed with the sweet and sour taste of the mango was ten thousand times better than the chocolate one.

His mind was crystal clear. With Xia Yanchun's actions combined with her shy little expression, he could easily guess what she was trying to do.

Chunbao was going to confess their relationship.

It was just that she was confessing it through her actions.

Good heavens, the wicked Chunbao was actually pulling off something huge without saying a word.

Everyone saw Xia Yanchun's little gesture.

Xia Herui and Shen Shi, who had been chatting, drinking tea, and eating cake all along, both stopped talking. Chen Minyue and Wen Zhining also looked at each other in dismay.

The house suddenly fell dead silent.

This, this, this... is this right?

Chen Minyue's eyes widened.

Is this still a normal relationship between neighborhood siblings??
