"Aidan, do you still rember the first birthday gift I gave you? No wait, the first ti was a few days early, I gave you one on behalf of your mom, but the second ti on your actual birthday, it was from . Do you rember what it was?"
Dawn Sutherland laughed, his gaze deep, "I’ll never forget it."
"Was it because it was so unique?" Daisy Grant suddenly bead and turned to look at Dawn.
Her sudden glance startled Dawn, who had been gazing at her with affection. Dawn imdiately hid the affection in his eyes, although his gaze appeared a bit flustered, and his tone was sowhat tense: "It was really—really unique."
The most unique gift he ever received in his life was the first birthday gift Daisy gave him as a child.
Dawn Sutherland and Daisy Grant stood beneath the starry sky, simultaneously recalling the past.
-
Back then, Dawn was eight years old, and Daisy was over six. Dawn had been living with the Sutherland Family for about a year, and Daisy, who often visited, had beco quite familiar with him. Daisy was able to sweetly call out ’Aidan’ like a little pet chasing after Dawn.
That day was his birthday, and no one in the Sutherland Family knew about it, so no one celebrated for him.
Asher Sutherland and Selah Sutton took his older brother Aidan, who was two years older, to a party, leaving him alone at ho. Bored, he sat in the back garden, using bamboo skewers to weave dragonflies as his mother had taught him when he was little.
Just when he had woven half a dragonfly, he heard a sweet voice behind him, "Aidan, Aidan, you’re here! I’ve been looking for you for ages! I’ve searched the whole Sutherland Family house!"
He turned around and saw Daisy, wearing a pink princess dress, running towards him with a bag, her cheeks rosy and adorably cute.
The little over six-year-old Daisy ran over to Dawn’s side. Seeing him sitting on the grass, she imdiately mimicked him and sat down, charmingly smiling, her eyes filled with innocence and looking blissfully at Dawn: "Aidan, Aidan, it’s your birthday today, and I’m here with your birthday gift! Aren’t you super touched? You should be touched, I give you permission to be!"
As Daisy spoke, her face bead with a bright smile as she took the gift out of the bag.
Dawn raised an eyebrow, "You gave a gift already, a few days ago, don’t you rember?"
Recently, the little girl from the Grant Family kept asking him about his birthday. Tired of the pestering, Dawn told Daisy, not expecting her to give him a gift on his birthday.
Apart from his mom, at eight years old, it was the first ti he received a gift from soone else, and it was from a girl. Dawn’s cheeks turned a bit red, feeling a little uneasy.
With Daisy’s urging, Dawn took the gift, but Daisy was still insistent, "Aidan, I gave you a gift, aren’t you going to open it? If you don’t like it, I’ll return it and give the seller a bad review!"
Dawn helplessly had to unwrap the gift slowly in front of Daisy. He was quite curious about what was inside, as after all, besides his mom, it was the first gift from a friend he’d received.
With full anticipation and joy in his heart, he maintained a calm deanor while slowly unwrapping the gift.
As he tore the last layer of wrapping, Daisy watched him with an exceptionally bright smile, her voice as sweet as honey: "Aidan, the seller said this gift is called a surprise."
A surprise? Really? Dawn beca increasingly curious about the surprise inside, hastening to pull off the last layer of covering.
Just as Dawn’s hand lifted the covering, suddenly with a "poof," a spray of red liquid shot out, leaving Dawn, who had been eagerly leaning close to the gift, frozen in place; his face and clothes were all covered in red liquid, utterly embarrassing.
Dawn’s face quickly flushed with anger, his gaze locked onto Daisy.
