"Of course, it's a party to celebrate the end of your National College Entrance Examination!" Xie Tingsi said at full volume.

"Our Little Pear Blossom worked so hard!" He sounded uncharacteristically earnest and affectionate.

Shen Baili rubbed her arms as goosebumps rose. "It wasn't hard."

She was happy to have been able to go to school. It had all been worth it.

Seeing her smile, Xie Tingsi let the subject drop.

"As long as you're happy, Little Pear Blossom. Are you hungry?"

Shen Baili nodded honestly. "I am."

Xie Tingsi snapped his fingers and launched into the evening's plans.

"Ahem. First, we've prepared a huge feast to celebrate Little Pear Blossom's high school graduation!"

"Congratulations!"

Shen Baili still wore a flower crown, and a bouquet of sunflowers sat beside her legs.

Xie Liuzheng had woven the crown herself, while Shen Wan had wrapped the sunflowers. Both were beautiful.

Xie Zhiyu and the other two had picked all the flowers and leaves for the crown and bouquet from the garden.

The whole family had played a part.

"Yay! I love it."

Shen Baili loved every surprise, and she made sure to say so.

Good food made everything better!

"There's an even bigger surprise coming!" Xie Tingsi raised his brows, deliberately keeping her guessing.

"A male-model club?" Shen Baili remembered their conversation that morning. "I'd love that too!"

It sounded like it would be fun.

Shen Baili had been to entertainment clubs, but never a male-model club. She was curious about what it would be like.

Was it really like on TV, with handsome men lined up to dance for them?

"Can I bring a friend?"

Shen Baili immediately thought of Zhu Zhitao. She would definitely love it.

"Of course!" Xie Tingsi agreed at once.

"The whole family will go with you!"
