Chapter 131: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 131: Miracle
Chen Xue turned off the lights, then took out the cake, filled it with candles, and lit them.
Then she made Xiaodie sit on a stool, put a birthday hat on her, and then led Madam Chen to sing a birthday song.
"Wishing you a happy birthday, wishing you a happy birthday..."
Although Madam Chen and Chen Yuan were not very skilled, as they sang, they gradually caught up with the rhythm. Xiao Die, who was sitting in the middle, was already moved to tears.
"Quickly close your eyes and make a wish, then you can blow out the candles!"
"I hope Miss and Madam will live a long and healthy life, we will definitely..."
Chen Xue quickly interrupted, "Just think it silently in your heart, saying it out loud won't make it come true!"
Xiao Die quickly closed her mouth and silently made a wish. When she opened her eyes, Chen Xue let her blow out the candles.
"Happy birthday, Xiao Die. I wish you a joyful and beautiful year ahead..."
Chen Xue said happily. Although it wasn't her own birthday, Xiao Die was like her sister, so celebrating her birthday was no different from celebrating her own.
After giving her blessings, Chen Xue took out a large gift box, "Xiao Die, this is your birthday present."
"Thank you, thank you, Miss!"
Xiao Die was somewhat overwhelmed with gratitude. Miss made her a cake and did so much already, which had touched her deeply. Now, she was even giving her a gift.
"Quickly open it and take a look!" Chen Xue urged. Since they were all family, there was no need to be polite. So, Chen Xue let Xiao Die open it herself.
After Xiao Die opened it, she revealed a fluffy little rabbit.
"This is a big rabbit plushie!"
Chen Xue held up the large white rabbit plushie, explaining to Xiao Die how to use it, "Hold it while you sleep, it will definitely be very comfortable."
She actually thought about many gifts, but ultimately decided to give her a plushie because she knew Xiao Die's personality. If she gave something too valuable, she might refuse it on the spot.
So, Chen Xue decided to give her a practical gift.
"Thank you, Miss!"
Seeing the fluffy rabbit plushie, Xiao Die naturally loved it very much and hugged it tightly, reluctant to let go.
"Xiao Die, this is my gift!"
Madam Chen also smiled and handed over a gift box, "You can also open it and take a look!"
"Yes, Madam!"
Facing Madam Chen, Xiao Die still felt a bit restrained.
After opening Madam Chen's gift, she found it was a set of clothes.
This set of pink embroidered fairy pomegranate skirt had faint misty flowers and auspicious clouds. Although it hadn't been fully unfolded, it was still evident how beautiful the dress was.
Chen Xue's eyes lit up.
Xiao Die was somewhat overwhelmed with gratitude, "Madam, this is too precious."
This pomegranate skirt wasn't something a maidservant like her could wear, and this dress was even more expensive than her.
"Just accept it!" Chen Xue echoed from the side, "My mother has plenty of these anyway!"
Madam Chen couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Xiao Xue is right. Besides, you need to have some good clothes too."
Actually, the clothes Xiao Die wore before weren't bad. They were better than what ordinary people wore, but there was still some gap compared to what they wore.
After all, the constraints of the ancient class system meant they couldn't wear too good clothes.
But now that they were exiled, they didn't care about these rules anymore.
"Perfect, this jade pendant can go with this dress."
Seeing the valuable gift from Madam, Xiao Die was somewhat overwhelmed with gratitude and wanted to refuse. However, Chen Xue snatched the jade pendant and stuffed it into her hand, not giving her a chance to refuse.
"Even if you can't use it, you can keep it as a collection!"
After saying that, Chen Xue didn't give her a chance to refuse, "Alright, alright, the gifts are given, let's eat the cake!"
Xiao Die could only be pulled by Chen Xue to cut the cake, then divide and eat it. There was still some left, but they couldn't eat anymore, so they had to feed it to Chen Yuan.
Chen Xue originally wanted to smear the cake on Xiao Die, but then she remembered this wasn't her past life, so she didn't do that.
"Let's play some games!"
"Play Landlord, or Truth or Dare, or..."
Chen Xue listed all the small games she knew and let Xiao Die choose, after all, she was the birthday girl today.
And Chen Xue also exchanged spicy strips, cola, and even melon seeds and peanuts...
Anyway, they were going to have a blast today!
They played until they were exhausted, then everyone dispersed. Chen Xue still whispered to Xiao Die for a while.
Until late at night, Xiao Die couldn't sleep and tossed and turned, tightly hugging the rabbit plushie, her eyes full of tears.
Early the next morning, Xiao Die got up early to make breakfast.
That's right.
Since the house in the space was built and they had guards, Chen Xue and the others occasionally spent the night in the space.
There was no choice. It was too cold to sleep in the carriage when it snowed, even if they piled up a few blankets, it was still very cold.
So they had to hide in the space to sleep.
"Xiao Die, why did you get up so early?" When Chen Xue got up, she saw that Xiao Die had already tidied up the living room.
They had a wild time last night, so they didn't tidy up the living room. But Xiao Die had already gotten up early and tidied it up, and she even made breakfast.
"What's for breakfast?"
"Scallion oil noodles!"
Xiao Die said. These were all Chen Xue's praises, so she also tried to study some delicious food to let Miss eat more delicious food.
After everyone had breakfast, they hurried back outside.
The weather was nice today, no snow, and the sun was shining. The caravan also stopped to rest.
The people in the caravan were also having breakfast. However, after they finished breakfast, they had to wait until evening to have dinner.
In fact, whether it was the prisoners or others, they only had two meals a day.
In the exiled caravan, sometimes because of time constraints, breakfast might not be so early, and they might wait until noon to eat and then eat again in the evening.
But no matter what, there were only two meals.
Chen Xue's family used to be like this, but after Chen Xue crossed over, she forcibly changed the family's eating habits.
Now, if one meal was missed in a day, Chen Yuan would feel uncomfortable and uneasy.
"Immortal, please accept our gratitude!"
At this time, a few prisoners walked over with cakes, but the guards stopped them from getting closer.
They knelt down not far away, holding up the cakes, indicating that they were giving them to Chen Xue.
Obviously, they were the people whose feet had been frozen yesterday. It was because of Chen Xue's methods that they were saved.
So they came to thank Chen Xue. Whether they had any ulterior motives or not, no one knew.
"No need."
Chen Xue's mouth twitched when she saw the hardened cakes. She had eaten this kind of cake before. If it wasn't soaked to soften it, it would break your teeth.
But those people kept kneeling, insisting on thanking Chen Xue and giving her gifts.
Naturally, Chen Xue wouldn't accept them. Firstly, she didn't need them, and secondly, if she accepted them, what would these people eat?
So she pretended to be angry. As soon as she got angry, the sky turned dark. The originally sunny sun instantly turned into night.
Everyone was frightened and knelt down, begging for Chen Xue's forgiveness.
Chen Xue was also dumbfounded.
