C22 (1/2)
Wang Kun's home was very big, not any younger than Cheng Cheng's. Wang Kun's mother had been waiting at the door for the children. She smiled kindly, which made Cheng Cheng think of Aunt Cheng.
”Wishing! Make a wish! ” A group of children surrounded Wang Kun as they sang a happy birthday song. When Wang Kun finished blowing the candle, Wang Kun's mother cut a piece of cake for everyone. Cheng Cheng couldn't eat it even though he had it in his hands. He kept his eyes on Wang Kun's home phone and wanted to use it to call home. However, at this moment, everyone was surrounding Wang Kun. He didn't dare to go out and ask for a phone call.
”Why aren't you eating? You can't eat it? ” Yu Xiaotong walked over from afar and stared at the cake that Cheng Cheng didn't touch.
”Oh, yeah, I'll give it to you to eat. Yu Xiaotong, help me eat it!” Cheng Cheng handed the cake to Yu Xiaotong.
”Great!” ”Since you've begged me so much, I'll eat it for you.” After saying that, Yu Xiaotong took the cake from Cheng Cheng and went to eat it. Cheng Cheng saw that the people around him were playing with him and no one noticed him, so he walked towards the phone.
”Ah!” ”Now that I think about it, there's a big slice of cake here. Let's break down the presents and see who has the worst gift. We'll just put the cake on his face.” Someone in the room shouted, and many people immediately cheered. Of course, there were also a few girls who were a bit unhappy, afraid that the cake would smudge their faces. However, a few submitted to the majority. Wang Kun began to seriously choose.
Halfway there, Cheng Cheng had to return to the crowd and surround Wang Kun with his classmates. He was already short and was standing on the outermost floor, so he couldn't clearly see what was inside. He could only hear a ”Wow!” ”Oh!” Suddenly, a loud roar of laughter came from the crowd. Cheng Cheng didn't know what had happened, but he was called out.
”Where's Cheng Cheng?” One of the students with the happiest smile shouted, everyone looked over. Cheng Cheng was pushed to the center of the table before he could understand what was going on. On top of the table were opened gifts, one of which belonged to him.
”Cheng Cheng, you're so cute. Why are you giving me such an interesting thing?” After Wang Kun finished this sentence, everyone laughed.
Most of the things on the table were toys, or beautiful books. There was one thing that seemed to stand out on the table, and that was a painting that Cheng Cheng had spent half a day sticking to. A while ago, he saw a children's handmade book drawn in some pretty cloth art and so on. He chose a very simple method. He just stuck some corn kernels, sorghum seeds, sunflower seeds and the like onto the cloth, then pieced them together into a pattern.
Cheng Cheng spent several pieces of cloth to make this gift. He couldn't stick it in the beginning, but he was finally able to continue after he did. He carefully placed it in a box. He was afraid that the stuff on the glue would fall off. He checked it on the way out and was relieved to find it stuck.
However, none of the children present noticed how tightly the rice grains were stuck to the cloth, nor did they notice that the things on the cloth were arranged in the same order. It was obvious that they had spent a lot of time thinking about it. Their first reaction upon seeing this piece of cloth was to smile, and then they rejoiced that the worst gift was not their own.
Cheng Cheng obviously didn't realize how vulgar and laughable his gift was in the eyes of others. He believed that Wang Kun would definitely like what he had done. Therefore, when he picked up his present and looked left and right in confusion, the people beside him laughed again.
”Apply the cake! Wipe the cake! ” The surrounding people started to jeer again. Wang Kun felt that he couldn't get his hands on Cheng Cheng's clean face, so he held the cake and stood there foolishly.
There was a naughty boy on the side who couldn't wait any longer. He took Wang Kun's hand and smashed it onto Cheng Cheng's head. Cheng Cheng didn't even have the time to dodge before his head was smeared with cake. Only a pair of eyes were left on his face.
”Oh!” Everyone cheered, some of them even continued to wipe Cheng Cheng's face, and Cheng Cheng quickly ran to the side. After chasing a bunch of little boys behind him, Yu Xiaotong couldn't stand it anymore and used to it, so he helped him block the people on the side as a cover. The group of people were having a lot of fun. It wasn't until Cheng Cheng jumped into someone's arms that his steps finally stopped.
”I'm sorry, Auntie, I didn't mean to rub the cake on you. ”I …” Cheng Cheng looked at Wang Kun's mother in panic.
Not only was Wang Ma not angry, she even caressed Cheng Cheng's little face and smiled. Whose child is this? Why is there cream all over your face? ”
