Toph could not contain his hearty laughter, distracting Zephyr, who was concentrating on his work. It did not take long for him to receive a death glare from his father...
Zuko, who was always sharp, immediately lowered his head and diligently planted the flowers, occasionally glancing at his father with a mischievous grin.
Before long, Lina came to help as well.
Night descended quietly, and they had just finished planting the final purple iris. The two brothers released a sigh of relief.
Even now, Toph remained curious, especially keen to discover the birthday gift his father would give to his mother.
Zephyr chuckled triumphantly. He looked at his two sons, then at Lina. "Alright, I'll let you guys have a sneak peek!"
Toph was excited, dancing around. "Really?!"
Zuko was calmer. He tugged at Toph's clothes and whispered, "I already have a pretty good guess about what dad will give."
"Huh?"
"It's something that needs rehearsal," Zuko said calmly. "Otherwise, why would he show it to you beforehand? He's treating us as the audience, asking for our opinions, and checking if there's anything that needs improving in this gift!"
Toph looked bewildered.
Meanwhile, Zephyr had already walked to a nearby spot and started giving instructions.
A massive projection suddenly appeared in the night sky, with countless lights illuminating a rainbow-like path!
The subsequent frames displayed the evolution of Zephyr and Cordelia's relationship—from their youth to the present day. From their early days of being together, to their mutual affection, and then the addition of a chubby little baby...
Later on, the chubby kid became two chubby kids. Now, the chubby kids had grown into handsome young men, with one of them having his own family.
This projection was a huge expense and utilized the most advanced technology available. Every scene seemed so close as if they could be touched.
