Ning Yu and Ning Hui returned home to find that Ning Xiang had already arrived, greeting the two with a smiling face.
"Where have you been playing?"
"Brother, we went to see a play!" To Ning Hui, the title "brother" had always referred to only Ning Xiang. As for Ning Yu, who was older by mere minutes, he was simply her Yubao.
Upon entering, she immediately saw the cake box on the table—her favorite brand and flavor. Overjoyed, she exclaimed "Thank you, brother!" before hugging the cake. She knew that it was brother who had bought it for her; there was a branch of the store near his school, and he would always buy her one whenever he came home.
Indeed, she loved cake, just like Mom, but she was much pickier than her mother when it came to eating it. For instance, she never ate the top layer of any cake, whether it was mousse, fruit, cream, or anything else—she would only eat the inner core. But if she were given a plain cake with no garnishes, she would be unhappy.
