You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 299 Happy Birthday

In the dark night, the outline of the buildings in North Yard could be vaguely seen.

When Nina followed Nine forward, Chester walked aside with a book in his arms. He didn't complain at all, but looked forward to it.

His Aunt Nina had been depressed for the past two days, Chester hoped that Uncle John's preparation tonight could make Aunt Nina happy.

The two walked on the winding cement road, with flowers blooming on both sides and swinging gently in the breeze.

Less than a minute later, Nine suddenly stopped, and so did Nina.

According to Nina's memory, it should be the open space in front of her in the back garden, but a huge black creature appeared in front of her and occupied the whole open space.

There was a slight sound around, pleasant to hear, and some wind bell that was waiting for them under the eaves.

After listening carefully, Nina didn't hear the crisp sound as the wind bell did. It was a little lower, and then she heard the buzzing sound as thin as a mosquito.

"What's this sound?" Nina's ears moved slightly, but the surroundings were too quiet that she could heard something.

"I don't know." Said Chester, shaking his head.

Chester guessed that it might have something to do with the surprise that his Uncle John had prepared.

Nina looked up at the darkness in front of her.

Suddenly, there was a fluorescent light in front of her.

Thousands of fireflies danced in the dark night, and the fluorescent haze on their bodies was like a bright incandescent lamp covered with a layer of soft gauze. The light was slightly, gentle as the breeze.

"Fireflies?" The forest island of C Island flashed through Nina's mind. Every summer, fireflies would stroll at night there, quiet and gentle, just like the stars shining in the sky.

When Nina stretched out her right hand, a firefly stopped on the back of her hand, flapping its wings gently, and the faint sound became clearer.

It was not the sound of a firefly flapping its wings, but a mechanical firefly with a firefly's outline and a round glow at its tail.

The people who controlled these fireflies were all on the rooftop. More than 20 people were playing the remote control wholeheartedly.

They couldn't stand there too obviously and they could only squat on the ground.

Unlike others, Amy and Lena had micro cameras on the fireflies that they controlled. While Richard was sitting at the table, staring at the screen.

The three of them were still bandaged.

They did their job with injure on their body.

It was no way if they didn't do their job, or John would let them stay in the hospital for a longer time.

With the help of fireflies, Nina also saw the huge monster in front of her clearly. It was a huge black curtain that covered the scene behind it, which aroused her curiosity. "Aunt Nina, open the black cloth and have a look?" Chester held the book tighter and looked at Nina with his bright eyes.

He was a little nervous, afraid that he would expose John's surprise.

However, Nina had already guessed.

"Your Uncle John did it?" Nina grabbed a Firefly with her bare hand, bent over and put it on the back of Chester's hand, smiling at him.

When Chester saw her smile, he also smiled and nodded.

"Well, let's see what's behind it." Nina stood straight and walked towards the black curtain step by step.

On the rooftop, Richard watched every move of Nina and hurriedly reported to his men, "Mrs. Nina is about to pull open the curtain. Everyone is ready."

Therefore, everyone in the darkness was ready.

Whoosh...

Nina stretched out her hand to pull down the curtain, and North Yard instantly lit up. The light tonight was different from usual, and it was not as bright as before. It was a little hazy, like the moonlight pouring down from a curved moon.

With a sudden light, Nina subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes.

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you......"

A cheerful and nifty birthday song rang out, accompanied by the gentle laughter, like the wind blowing into Nina's ears.

Nina was stunned and then remembered what day it was today.

It was her birthday on May 19th.

Today was the day she turned twenty.

Nina slowly put down her hand, and a small forest suddenly appeared in front of her. Wide and thick trees were arranged randomly, and grass was spread under it. Small flowers were blooming on it, white, yellow, purple...

The white mist made by dry ice floated on the ground, with small colorful lights hanging on the tree, fireflies lingering, and the soothing sound of the violin around.

The forest in front of Nina was like a fairyland.

In the center of the fairyland stood a row of people, each looking at Nina with a smile.

Michelle said, "Happy birthday, Nini!"

James said, "Happy birthday, Aunt Nina!"

Emma said, "Happy birthday, Nina."

Dora said, "Happy birthday, Aunt Nina."

Daniel held his wife, Angela, and said, "Happy birthday, sister-in-law."

All of a sudden, Nina's eyes turned red and she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Happy birthday, Aunt Nina." Chester held Nina's hand and looked up at her.

The childish voice touched the softness in the heart of Nina. The moment she looked down at Chester, she seemed to see her child in the future.

"Thank you, Chester." Holding Chester's hand, Nina walked inside.

She seemed to have returned to the forest of C Island. She heard the light chirping of insects and smelled the scent of nature.

Nina walked up to them and hugged everyone, until tears welled up in her eyes.

After hugging Angela, Nina suddenly found that there was no John here. She could not help frowning.

They stood in a row, and there were trees blocking them. Nina thought that John should be here, and she was looking forward to it in her heart. The others looked at each other and made way for Nina.

What came into view was a long square table covered with white daisy cloth, on which there was a big cake, many fruits and gifts. There was also a projector.

The light of the projector lit up, and Leon's face appeared in the air opposite Nina. The night wind blew.

"Happy birthday, Ninja!"

"Happy birthday, little princess," Wynn said with a smile.

Once again, Nina raised her hand to cover her mouth. Feeling a lump in her throat, she bit her lips.

"Leon..."

"Ninja, it was not I didn't tell you when I left. I was just worried that if you didn't want me to leave and cried at the airport, I was afraid that I couldn't help but take you back." Leon reached out his hand, trying to wipe away the tears for his sister, only touching the air.

However, when Leon heard that his sister had been sad for several days because of his departure from John, Leon felt happy and sad.

Leon withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Happy birthday, Ninja."

His voice was soft and slow, as if he could travel through mountains and rivers from C Island to come to Nina.

"Thank you, Leon." Nina smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and her red lips and white teeth looked lovable.

Then the image vanished.

Nina wiped her tears and began to look for the figure of John.

She looked around but didn't see him.

"Aunt Nina, Uncle John was just there. I don't know what happened in his company, he left in a hurry." James walked up to explain. "Don't blame Uncle John. He has been too busy to deal with the company's affairs recently to celebrate your birthday."

Nina glanced at him and said nothing.

There was a flash of disappointment in Nina's eyes.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
