The protagonists had cut the cake, and the banquet was officially underway.
"This is the gift I've prepared for you, may you have peace and joy every year." Xia Yu set the cake aside, took out two boxes from his bosom, handed them to them, and offered his blessings.
"Thank you, big brother." Xia Yue and Xia Xi smiled as they took them.
Xia Yu picked up the cake and then stepped back.
Next, Yan Mo and Mo Si came up together to give them their gifts.
Mo Si gave Xia Xi an ancient-looking box, and to Xia Yue, he handed a nicely wrapped gift box, along with a blessing for each of them.
Yan Mo gave Xia Yue a beautifully carved wooden box that looked small but had exquisite flower carvings on it, clearly not very cheap.
He also gave Xia Xi a gift box that was nicely packaged.
And he offered them a blessing.
Xia Yue and Xia Xi smiled and thanked them, and afterward, others came up one after another to present their gifts and good wishes.
