Raising Octopus Juvenile - Chapter 78

In this way, Cecil got billions of stars-as a birthday gift from Bode.

She cherished her sword, and then smiled and said to Bode: “Teacher, if the world is truly destroyed one day, I will definitely make a wish to the gods and let you survive anyway.”

Bode looked at her with a faint smile: “Let me survive, what about you?”

Cecil shrugged: “I’ll go to death with the gods.”

Hearing this, Bode raised his eyebrows slightly: “Are you willing to abandon your little pet?”

Cecil moved in his heart, still smiling: “It’s just a hypothesis.”

“Don’t make this assumption casually.” Bode rubbed her hair and closed the box. “Okay, let’s go out.”

Cecil shut his mouth obediently, holding the sword and the little octopus, and leaving the utility room with Bode.

The two of them walked up the stairs, and Bode told Cecil with a serious face: “Although you feel like nothing, you still can’t relax your vigilance. When you go back, pay attention to your physical condition. If something goes wrong, tell me immediately. , Remember?”

“Well, I know.” Cecil nodded, then suddenly thought of something, hesitatingly said, “Right…”

Bode: “Huh?”

“Actually, tomorrow is my brother’s birthday. We plan to celebrate it at home without inviting any outsiders, that…” Cecil looked at him cautiously, “Are you coming?”

Bode was silent for a moment.

“Am I not an outsider?” he asked suddenly.

Cecil immediately shook his head: “How could you be an outsider? You are more intimate than my dad, we are obviously a family!”

Bode smiled but didn’t smile: “But I remember, you said that I was not your father a few days ago.”

“Yeah, it’s not my dad, it’s better than my dad!” Cecil looked at him with scorching eyes, in a very sincere tone, “How can my dad have you so caring? He won’t care about my life or death.”

This is the truth, Kevin has always only cared about himself. The dead wife and Bai Yueguang are just his partner at a certain stage, just like the current Stella, love is love, but love will not exist for long. Once the love disappears, he will push the other side mercilessly.

Not to mention the children who are connected only by his guilt.

“You better shut up, I’m not as old as your dad.” Bode said disgustingly.

Cecil curled his lips and continued to invite: “Then are you coming or not? Come on, there is really no one else, all you know…”

Bode lifted an eyelid and asked casually, “Who are there?”

Cecil answered five to ten: “Me, brother, Lena, add another Stella…”

“Don’t have your little pet?” Bode raised an eyebrow and interrupted her.

Hearing this, Cecilton’s face was bitter: “I’m worrying. My brother thought I drove Lanney away, and now I don’t know what kind of identity he should show up at home…”

After listening, the little octopus raised her round head and looked at her eagerly.

He also wanted to celebrate Arnold’s birthday with Cecil, not for anything else, but to see Cecil’s happy look. But he was afraid that Cecil would not allow it, so he never took the initiative to bring it up.

Now he knows, it turns out Cecil had always considered him.

This made him very happy and satisfied.

——This is an emotion he has never had before.

Bode sighed for a long time, then raised his hand to touch his chin: “In that case… then I’ll just go for a while.”

Cecil: “Hey? Is there any connection between the two?”

“Of course.” Bode looked at her like a fool. “You can’t make him appear, but I can. Let him change his appearance and then come with me as my student?”

“But brother knows that you are the only student…”

“Can’t the new ones work?” Bode gave her a blank look. “You, a student, don’t come to me all day to study. Can I take another one who loves to study?”

Oh-that’s what it meant.

In order to turn the corner and agree to her invitation, he also took Lanny by the way. What a painstaking effort.

Cecil was very moved and immediately echoed: “Yes, it’s okay, too good…”

“Then it’s settled.” Bodder paused, suddenly turned around, and waved impatiently, “Okay, let’s go, I’m still busy, I don’t have time to hear you say that these parents are short…”

This dead arrogant, embarrassed again.

Cecil snickered clearly and said obediently: “Then let’s go back first, don’t forget to come over tomorrow night.”

Bode lowered his eyelashes and replied lazily, “Yeah.”

Cecil left along the cracks in time and space. Bode was left alone in the black tower.

He held his chin, while slowly shaking the potion in his hand, he whispered: “A family…”

Thinking of Cecil’s expression when speaking, he suddenly moved the corners of his lips, showing a faint smile.

“Sounds pretty good.”

After returning to the mansion, Cecil began to prepare.

The gift is already there, and all we need to do now is to learn how to make a cake. She intended to learn from Lena, but when she thought that Lena would have a date tomorrow, she might not be in the mood to do these things now.

While she was carefully calculating, Lena suddenly came to her.

“Sister, I heard the housekeeper’s grandfather explained that it’s brother Arnold’s birthday. Is this true?” Lena asked eagerly.

Cecil froze for a moment, then nodded: “It’s true, I’m worried about how to make a cake.”

“Ah…I should have known earlier…” Lena lowered her head in frustration. Before Cecil could comfort her, she suddenly brightened her eyes and looked straight at Cecil, “Yes, sister, Can I trouble you something?”

Cecil was at a loss: “What?”

“I want to write another letter to Mr. Cavaliers, asking him to cancel tomorrow’s meeting. It may be anxious, I don’t know if it is inconvenient for you…”

Cecil was slightly surprised: “Why cancel? Don’t you really want to see him?”

Lena blushed, and said in a low voice, “I really want to see Mr. Cavaliers, but it is the birthday of Brother Arnold that is more important than this. This is the first time I have celebrated with everyone since I came to this home. , I don’t want to miss…”

Cecil looked at her quietly, her voice softened unconsciously: “You can also come back earlier, so you can still catch up.”

[Violence warning! ! ! 】

Warn you a ghost!

For the first time, Cecil refuted the irritating characters in his heart. The font flickered a few times, and then disappeared without reappearing.

“But I want to do something for Brother Arnold.” Lena’s eyes were shining and dazzling like stars. “Sister, is there anything I can do?”

Seeing her insistence on this, Cecil stopped blocking her. She smiled and suggested: “Teach me to make a cake?”

Lena smiled brightly: “Okay!”

The two girls reached an agreement and immediately began to get busy. Lena went to write a letter first, and Cecil went to change into clothes that were easy to move. When the two were ready, they went into the kitchen full of energy, and did not come out until dark.

“So you come to me to kill time?” Stella looked at the black-haired boy with a depressed face in front of him, and said unbearably, “What do you think I am here? Your companion chatting with the tree hole?”

Lanny looked up listlessly: “What is a tree hole?”

Stella: “…”

“You don’t need to understand.” She rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly, “Little Cecil and Little Lena learn to make cakes. You can peek inside. Why are you looking for me?”

Lanny: “I want to ask you, what do you need to do for the birthday party?”

Stella said impatiently: “How do I know that I haven’t attended a human birthday party, and their birthday party has nothing to do with me.”

Lenny said seriously: “But Cecil said you will also participate.”

“Me?” Stella pointed to herself in disbelief, “I will attend Arnold’s birthday party with them?”

“Yeah.” Lanny nodded. “Cecile said that he won’t invite outsiders. The birthday party is only Arnold, her, Lena, you, and Bode…”

As Stella heard his names come out one by one, a subtle emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

——Unexpectedly, she was counted among them.

She was silent for a while, and suddenly coughed twice: “In this case, then we have to understand how humans celebrate birthdays now.”

Lanny heard this and looked at him disgustedly: “So you don’t know?”

“Although I don’t know, I can ask someone else!” Stella brazenly stood up for herself, “Come on, you hide first. I will call the maid in now…”

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was Arnold’s birthday.

After working hard throughout the afternoon and evening, Cecil finally learned how to make a beautiful and delicious cake. And Lanni and Stella also learned a little bit about the process of human birthdays, and Stella even prepared a perfunctory but valuable gift-a diamond-encrusted gold pocket watch.

In the evening, Arnold finally returned.

As soon as he walked into the main hall, he felt something weird. It seems…a bit too quiet?

Usually, you can hear the walking of the servants here, and sometimes you can hear the voices of Cecil and Lena. Why is there nothing happening today?

He still remembered very clearly, Cecil said that she knew that today was his birthday.

Could it be that you went out to buy things and haven’t come back yet?

Arnold walked to the other rooms strangely, and soon came to the dark dining room.

Even the light hasn’t been turned on, so no one has started cooking yet?

Arnold walked in slowly, full of questions. It was so dark that he couldn’t see anything clearly. He was about to turn on the crystal chandelier, and suddenly dots of blue light lit up in the darkness, like floating fireflies, slowly gathering around him.

Arnold guessed something vaguely, and tentatively called out: “Cecile?”

No one responded.

The blue star points are still increasing, they float in the air, slowly converging into the shape of a rapier, lying horizontally, floating quietly in front of Arnold.

Arnold looked at the light spots curiously, stretched out his hand, and touched it lightly.

In the next second, these points of light suddenly turned into shining galaxies, and in a short moment, they constructed a real silver long sword and settled firmly into Arnold’s palm.

The bright starlight escaped from the gap in the scabbard, and it looked like a dreamy and powerful beauty.

Arnold was stunned and murmured softly: “This is…”

“This is’billions of stars.’” The lazy man’s voice slowly sounded in the dark, “It’s also a gift from Cecil.”

Billions of stars? Wait, it seemed to be Bode’s voice just now…

Without waiting for Arnold to ask questions, the crystal chandelier on the roof suddenly lit up, colorful petals fell from the sky, and fell to the ground. At the same time, two clear girl voices sounded at the same time——

“Brother, happy birthday!”

Arnold blinked, standing still in a daze.

Cecil and Lena did not know when they appeared in front of him, holding a big birthday cake, looking at him with a smile.

In addition to them, there are Stella with inconvenient legs and feet, Cecil’s teacher Bode, and a handsome, black-haired teenager that has never been seen before.

“Brother, in order to make this year’s birthday a little bit lively, I called everyone, don’t you mind?” Cecil looked at the blond young man eagerly, for fear that he would show an unpleasant look.

Arnold was slightly startled, and then as if suddenly understood something, a gentle smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

“Don’t mind.” He stroked Cecil’s hair and whispered softly, “Thank you for your gift. I was really surprised. Where did you find such a precious sword?”

Hearing this, Cecil smiled embarrassedly, and turned to look at Bode behind him: “Ah, that was given to me by Teacher Bode, but it is actually a gift from him.”

Bode lazily said: “It was given to you by Cecil, and it has nothing to do with me.”

Arnold looked at him, then at Cecil, feeling a little confused.

It seems that Bode is not as bad as he thought.

“By the way, that person…” He looked at the black-haired boy beside Bode and asked naturally.

“Oh, it’s my new student.” Bode said smoothly, “also Cecil’s junior.”

Cecil nodded repeatedly, and echoed from the side: “Junior Brother is much easier to learn than me!”

It turns out that besides Cecil, Bode will also recruit other students.

Arnold’s heart was relieved again, and he became friendly with his eyes on the boy.

“Hello.” He nodded slightly at the young man.

The boy also nodded lightly, and then slowly spoke with some uncertainty: “…Happy birthday.”

Arnold was taken aback, then smiled softly: “Thank you.”

The young man remained silent and expressionless, but gave Cecil a silent glance.

Cecil gave him a thumbs up from behind.

The young man blinked his eyes contentedly, and the corners of his lips raised a small arc.

Upon seeing this, Stella stepped forward unwillingly, handed the dazzling gold pocket watch to Arnold, and then smiled lovingly: “Come on, Arnold, this is my gift to you.”

Arnold hesitated, wondering if he should accept it.

Cecil said to the side: “Brother, take it. Anyway, Mrs. Stella has a lot of babies, not bad this one.”

Stella agreed with a smile, and Arnold reluctantly accepted his pocket watch. Without waiting for him to say thanks, Lena also squeezed over.

“Brother Arnold, I don’t have the money to buy you a nice gift, so I can only pick you the daisies I planted…” She took out a bouquet of pure white daisies from behind and held it in front of Arnold embarrassedly “I trimmed it a bit. Although it looks shabby, it can be used to decorate the room…”

Arnold smiled and took Lena’s bouquet. Seeing that everyone’s gifts were all finished, Stella walked to the table impatiently: “Okay, let’s start cutting the cake. This is the birthday cake made by Little Cecil and Lena, Arnold. You must try it…”

In fact, she was tired from standing and eagerly wanted to find an excuse to sit down.

“Wait a minute, my gift hasn’t started yet.” Bod interrupted her lazily, looking out the window, “Hey, it’s starting now.”

Outside the transparent glass windows, there is a starry night sky. Suddenly, a firework rose into the air, exploded bang, and dropped a bright and beautiful brilliance.

Then, the second, third, fourth…More and more fireworks rose up, one after another, overflowing with brilliance, embellishing the night dreamy and dazzling.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” Lina ran to the window excitedly, turned around and greeted everyone to go over, “You guys come and see it, it’s so beautiful!”

Everyone walked over, gathered around the window, watching the fireworks bloom intently.

The surrounding air is light and warm.

Cecil stood beside Arnold and asked him in a low voice, “Brother, do you like the present we prepared?”

Arnold lowered his head to look at her, his blue eyes were gentle as water: “I like it.”

Cecil laughed happily. Standing behind her, Lanny snatched her finger secretly, she held her backhand, and slowly clasped his fingers.

She feels that she is very happy now, very happy.

It would be great if time could stay in this moment forever.

Cecil hoped heartily.
