137.Cutting the Cake

There were 5 layers of cake in the middle of the living room, & there were all kinds of desserts on the surrounding carts. That sweet smell came from here.

Shi He raised his hand & bowed gentlemanly. After Shi Man walked into the living room with his hand, he placed the knife that cut the cake in her hand.

"Manman!" Shen Xian gently held Shi Man's hand & led her to the cake. She hugged her shoulder and said, "Congratulations on getting 1st place in the cohort. Mom knows that you like sweet food the most, so I specially found the most famous pastries in the country for you. I even specially hired the top cakemaker in the country to make a cake for you. How about it? Do you like it?"

Shi Man actually didn't like to eat such sweet things, but when she thought about how this was a banquet that the Shi family had carefully prepared to suit her preferences, she nodded obediently & said, "Yes, thank you."

"We're family! Why are you thanking me?" Shen Xian held Shi Man's face and couldn't help but kiss her forehead. Then, she said with a gratified expression, "Cut the cake. These few layers of cake have different flavors. You can cut whatever you like yourself."

Shi Man looked at the greasy cream and felt a headache. She retracted her gaze and looked at Shen Xian. "Which one does Mom like?"

"My baby is so good. She even knows to let Mom eat 1st!" Shen Xian was immediately touched & hugged Shi Man. She was so excited that tears gathered in her eyes.

Shi Zhong hurriedly walked over to comfort his wife. "Baby, Manman is still waiting to cut a cake for you. Quickly choose a piece."

Only then did Shen Xian realize that she had lost her composure. She wiped her tears and smiled embarrassedly. "Then I'll have the strawberry-flavored one. It's been hard on my precious daughter."

Shi Man nodded calmly. She accurately placed the knife down and cut off a standard triangular cake. Then, she placed it on the tray and handed it to Shen Xian.

Shi Mu was standing behind Shi Man and saw her actions clearly. He couldn't help but walk around her and sigh in surprise. "Sister, your cutting technique was so cool just now. Can you cut it again for Brother to see?"

"Okay." Shi Man glanced at him and asked calmly, "Which cake does 4th Brother want?"

Shi Mu had some thoughts and specially chose the layer of cake in the middle for Shi Man to cut.

His original intention was not to make things difficult for his sister. He just wanted to test her cutting technique.

Ever since he experienced the gunfight last time, he vaguely felt that his sister's skills were extraordinary. He suddenly wanted to validate his guess.

If Shi Man could really cut off the middle layer of cake cleanly, he would have another reason to show off his sister in the future!

Shi Man saw through his intentions at a glance, but she had no intention of exposing him. It would not hurt to let him know her skills. At the very least, it would let him understand that she had the ability to protect him and prevent him from putting himself in danger in the future to save her.

Shi Man held the knife and cut the cake casually, but the piece in the tray was still a standard triangle. Shi Mu was dumbfounded.

Shi Zhong and Shi Ke could also tell that something was up. They could not help but lean towards Shi Man, wanting her to help them cut a piece of cake.

However, this time, Shi Man was unwilling to do it anymore. She stuffed the small knife with cream in her hand into her brother's hand and said lazily, "Big Brother, come and cut the cake. I want the same flavor as Mom, and so does Su Tang. As for the rest, you can tell Big Brother what you want."
