Chapter 55 Happy Birthday

"Cheese!"

Caesar stood between the couple, Haruka Ishikawa and Kiyoshiichi hugged his arms.

Although his expression was awkward, he could still tell from his left hand that he was in a good mood.

Kiyoshiichi wore a red Santa Claus hat and held a camera in his hand. Haruka Ishikawa and Caesar both held cakes and smiled at the camera.

This was their second birthday together. In the first year, Caesar was still very uncomfortable, but in the second year he was already familiar with it.

Caesar's personality is still very awkward now, but his faint smile or his often softened blue eyes can show his joy.

This year, there is also an additional birthday for Itoshi Sae. They celebrated Christmas and the birthdays of the birthday celebrants together in Haruka Ishikawa's well-decorated home.

As early as two days before Christmas, Kiyoshiichi and Haruka Ishikawa bought many Christmas decorations and a lush Christmas tree online.

On Christmas Eve, they decorated the bare Christmas tree they had just received with light strips and ribbons. In addition to these, they also inserted many red velvet bows and bell ornaments on it.

The Christmas tree was about 2.1 meters tall. When they decorated from the base to the top of the Christmas tree, both of them were not tall enough to reach the top.

Jie Shiyi took out a stool and stepped on it himself, while Ikawa Haruka handed him the ornaments from below.

They prepared an electric silver star for the Christmas tree. When Ikawa Haruka wanted to hand the star to Jie Shiyi, he jumped off the stool nimbly, contrary to his usual behavior.

Ikawa Haruka was caught off guard, and her vision suddenly became broad and tall.

She held the star in one hand and hugged Jie Shiyi's neck with the other.

Jie Shiyi's voice was catchy and with a deep smile: "My little birthday boy should hang the star."

He said, and lifted up Ikawa Haruka who was sitting firmly on his right shoulder: "Okay, little birthday boy, hang it up quickly."

Ikawa Haruka tied the star tightly and turned on the switch. The star and the Christmas tree light strip lit up together.

She bent down and kissed Jie Shiyi on the head: "Marry Christmas!"

From the French window, you can see fireworks rising in the dark sky. The sudden beauty and the Christmas tree with twinkling stars reflect the kissing boy and girl.

The Christmas tree wrapped with gorgeous light strips was naturally a little shocked by the guests, not to mention that this huge Christmas tree was full of gifts.

Shishi Sae took photos of the Christmas tree from all angles. He squatted down to look at it carefully and turned his head to ask: "Is this a real Christmas tree?"

Ikawa Haruka brought the Christmas roast turkey to the table and answered: "Yes, I ordered it online."

Caesar was obviously amazed by this. This was also the first time he saw a real Christmas tree at home.

Most people would choose to buy a fake Christmas tree to decorate it at home, because real trees are not only expensive but also have no roots.

Fake Christmas trees can not only be preserved for a long time, but also cheaper and more cost-effective than real trees.

Ikawa Haruka and Jie Shiyi took out the gifts they prepared for the two of them from under the Christmas tree and presented them with both hands. They prepared gifts for the two of them early in the morning.

"Happy birthday, Michelle!"

"You too."

Caesar saw that there were many gifts under the Christmas tree: "Are those given to you by others?"

Ikawa Haruka nodded happily: "Those were sent to me by my family and friends."

Jie Shiyi listened and complained to Shishi Sae beside him: "There are also gifts from my ex-boyfriend." After

they finished their meal, they came to the living room. Jie Shiyi turned on the TV and a similar face appeared on the screen.

Jie Shiyi was speechless for a moment, but he didn't switch the channel directly.

Caesar's eyes wandered over the two people's faces: "Shiyi, is this someone you know?"

Jie Shiyi glanced at Ikawa Haruka next to him: "You can say that, this is Haruka's friend." He is also her ex-boyfriend.

Ikawa Haruka faced the two curious people calmly: "This is my junior and my ex-boyfriend."

Caesar and Itoshi Sae retracted their gazes and said nonchalantly: "Oh."

Kageyama on TV was wearing a black suit and his hair was combed back in a middle style.

He sat upright on the sofa and answered the host's questions in a serious manner.

He had just represented Japan in the Olympics. He was the youngest volleyball player to get a regular team spot and be nominated for the national team in just one year.

"Kageyama, what will your future career development be like?"

"I don't have any ideas at the moment, I just want to keep improving my skills."

Ikawa Haruka was proud of Kageyama who could talk to the host. He really grew up well.

"Excuse me, what do you think of the famous Brazilian supermodel who pursued you madly?" "

Sorry, can you say it again? Her name is too long, I don't quite remember who she is."

Kageyama's cute and serious answer suddenly made Iikawa Haruka lose her composure. She wiped her tears and said to the others, "He is still the same!"

Caesar turned his eyes meaningfully to Jie Shi and said, "You are really lucky." Jie

Shi understood Caesar's words in an instant, because this Kageyama was so unsympathetic, because he met Iikawa Haruka at the right time.

He also felt that he was a very lucky person, who was able to meet her at the right time and was lucky enough to get her love.

Iikawa Haruka suddenly missed her family and friends who she hadn't seen for a long time.

The moment she saw Kageyama, she suddenly remembered the scene when Toru wanted to compete with Iwaizumi and others, and suddenly missed the blonde loli who developed in Russia.

Haruka Ishikawa was full of thoughts. She calmed down a bit, clapped her hands and said to the three people with a smile: "Let's open the gifts!"

Caesar faced the three boxes in front of him and took Haruka Ishikawa's dark blue box first.

He slowly opened the box, and inside was a choker with dark blue gems. The blue gems flowing with mithril were inlaid on the black leather and velvet laces.

Haruka Ishikawa asked expectantly: "How is it? I thought it was very suitable for you when I saw it, so I bought it."

Caesar immediately put it on his neck: "Thank you, it fits very well."

After opening Haruka Ishikawa's gift, Caesar began to open the gift given to him by Shishi Sae. After opening it, his palm turned to the last one lying alone on the sofa.

Under Jie Shiyi's bright gaze, Caesar smiled: "Forget about this one."

Jie Shiyi's forehead veins popped up, he jumped up and pounced on Caesar: "You bastard, if you don't want it, just give it back to me!" This bastard, he opened everyone else's, what's the point of letting him go!

Caesar used the gift to fend off Jie Shiyi who was pouncing on him like a hungry wolf. The upward arc at the end of his red eyes was full of teasing and provocation towards Jie Shiyi: "How childish, Shiyi."

Jie Shiyi's soft face was squeezed out of shape by the gift box. They were playing on the sofa, while Itoshi Sae and Ikawa Haruka were chatting calmly.

"Do you want to watch a horror movie?"

"Sure."

While Jie Shiyi and Caesar were playing, Ikawa Haruka and Itoshi Sae had already started to study which horror movie was good.

After they turned off the lights, the two who were playing also returned to silence. The four of them were nestled on the sofa in the most comfortable posture and watched the horror movie attentively.

When the screen showed the protagonists being deliberately separated and the heroine entered the house alone, an abrupt phone ring sounded in the house.

"Ahhh!"

"Whose hand touched me, Caesar, get off!"

"It's not me, it's Sae!"

Ikawa Haruka answered the phone calmly. Ikawa Toru, who was far away in Buenos Aires, saw his sister surrounded by three men from front to back.

"Ikawa Haruka, what are you doing!"

Ikawa Haruka raised his phone high to stay away from his brother's sonic attack.

She reluctantly pulled her other arm out of Caesar's hand, and then brushed away Jie Shiyi who was holding her waist, and finally signaled Shishi Sae to turn on the light.

Ikawa Haruka zoomed in on the camera: "We were watching a horror movie, and it was you who suddenly called us and scared us."

She was caught off guard and blamed him, which made Ikawa Toru's already unhappy eyebrows twitch a few more times.

Ikawa Toru rolled his eyes: "Then they are really timid." Ikawa

Toru glanced to the side, and he seemed to think of something and put on his signature smile again. He waved his big hand and pulled an orange head over: "Happy birthday, Haruka!"

"Happy birthday, Haruka-senpai!"

Ikawa Haruka faced cheeks that were more and more smiling than each other, and she also showed a spring breeze and rain smile: "Thank you, Toru and Xiangyang."

She also raised her phone to show them her side. Now the three boys have returned to normal.

They sat on three sofas in different directions and did not interfere with each other, with indifferent expressions on their faces.

This year's Christmas was also spent peacefully in the harmony of chaos. Caesar and Itoshi Sae stayed overnight.

The three of them argued again about how to arrange themselves for the night. Finally, under the gentle greetings of Haruka Ichikawa, the three of them played rock-paper-scissors to choose who would sleep on the bed.

Haruka Ichikawa said with a smile: "Do you want to sleep on the big bed in my bedroom?"

The three of them shook their heads in a tense mood: "No, no."

The three boys followed the most primitive method to choose who would sleep on the bed:

the single bed in the living room was taken by the lucky Jie Shiyi, the sofa belonged to Caesar, and the unlucky Itoshi Sae had to sleep on the floor.

Itoshi Sae had a sad face and spread the quilt resentfully: "If you use all your luck in this place, you can't become the best in the world!"

Caesar lay on the sofa with his legs crossed leisurely: "You can't eat sour grapes, right?"

Jie Shiyi turned a deaf ear to him. He was very happy that he didn't have to give up the guest bedroom where he often slept to them, and he was not willing to take advantage of it.

Haruka Ichikawa sincerely praised this finally quiet world.

These three "little friends" together are really a mess.

Iikawa Haruka returned to the bedroom and gave him a sweet treat: "Tomorrow's breakfast will be Japanese style, salted kelp tea rice."

Itoshi Sae stopped complaining instantly, and he lay down on his bed obediently: "Good night." His favorite food is salted kelp.

Although noisy, they are easy to coax.

Three little ones, so cute!
