Everyone was silent for a while after hearing Yan Yixian's story. What should have been a bright future turned into a tragic end of family destruction and personal loss, a fate that was too harsh to describe.
Chu Qingzhi said, "Your teacher's birthday cannot be neglected. Let's properly package the gifts before delivering them."
Chu Xuyao knew his family would support him and smiled, "Understood, Fifth Sister."
Wu Yaqing ate half an apple pie by herself and really liked it. She asked, "Qingzhi, can you teach me how to make apple pie?"
Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingning, and Chu Qingshuang said in unison, "We want to learn too!"
There was a slight awkwardness in the air.
Shen Ruyue timidly added, "Can I join too?"
Ge Lihua, Chu Qingyan, and Hong Yujun looked at each other and said in unison, "If everyone is learning, then we'll learn too."
