Kristino chuckled lightly, "Then close your eyes."
Rong Doudou obediently closed her eyes and asked in her childlike voice, "Will stars burn if they fall?"
"Uncle, can I decide the shape of the stars myself?"
Kristino asked, "What shape do you want the stars to be?"
Rong Doudou: "Like Mommy's."
Du Ruoxin, standing nearby and hearing this, was speechless. Why like her?
Kristino also felt strange, "Oh?"
Rong Doudou pouted her little lips and said with a smile, "That way, when Mommy isn't around, I can think of Mommy when I see the stars."
"And I can hug Star Mommy to sleep every night."
Du Ruoxin was amused by her daughter. The child loved her parents more than she had imagined.
"Okay," Kristino agreed with a smile, "but that will be sent next time. This time, I have a bigger surprise."
Bigger? Rong Doudou was so excited, her little heart pounding. "Wow..."
Kristino: "Are you ready?"
Rong Doudou nodded, "Mhm."
Kristino: "Let's count together. Three."
"Three, two, one."
Rong Doudou opened her eyes, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.
"Boom—"
"So beautiful."
The fireworks were shaped like her current favorite, Little Sister Rabbit Ears Wu.
However, what shocked Rong Doudou even more was yet to come. After the fireworks burst, a string of Chinese characters illuminated the sky far, far away—"Happy Birthday, Doudou."
"Wow~~~"
"What is that?"
"So many stars, so beautiful, so beautiful."
The surrounding crowd gasped, awestruck by the scene. Stars... celebrating Doudou's birthday? How was this done!
Someone whispered curiously, glancing at Kristino, Rong Doudou, and the others. Du Ruoxin was also a bit taken aback to see her elder brother "lighting up" the stars. What was happening?
"Wow wow wow," Rong Doudou clapped her hands, exclaiming excitedly, "Mommy, so many stars are celebrating my birthday."
"How did they know it's my birthday today?"
"Mommy, Mommy, are they Nuwa, Queen Mother, Chang'e, and the Jade Emperor..." So many of them. Were all the immortals from myths here to celebrate her birthday?
"Pfft," Du Ruoxin's eyebrows curved with laughter. "Hahaha," she said, "It's good that you remember all the ancient Chinese myths. Our Doudou is a little fairy, and all the great gods have come to wish you a happy birthday."
Kristino was bewildered by the mother and daughter's conversation. Nuwa, Queen Mother... He had actually illuminated hundreds or thousands of SpaceX Starlink satellites, which created such a stunning visual effect. In essence, at that moment, the entire world could see the illuminated Chinese characters in the night sky. The whole world was celebrating Rong Doudou's birthday. No exaggeration.
"Ah," Rong Doudou suddenly closed her eyes tightly, clasping her hands together, "Then I must make a wish quickly." With so many gods blessing her, would her wish come true? Grandma said... Hehe.
Thinking of the wish in her heart, Rong Doudou's lips curved into a sweet smile. Kristino, holding the little girl, saw how serious she was and couldn't help but ask, "What did Doudou wish for?"
Rong Doudou didn't answer, tilting her head to look at the crowd. Feng Linwan, receiving her granddaughter's searching gaze, knew the show was about to begin. She walked forward and smiled, "Yes, darling, what did you wish for?"
"You must say it out loud."
"Otherwise, the immortals won't hear your prayer and won't be able to grant it."
Rong Doudou reached out for her grandmother's embrace, "I want..." Grandma hadn't said that Daddy would descend from the sky like an immortal today? Why hadn't Daddy arrived yet? Without Daddy, her wish couldn't come true. Rong Doudou looked up at the sky.
