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.

The backdrop was a deep blue night sky, where starlight and lamplight interweaved to present the memories in their entirety.

Toph watched in astonishment. Then he looked at the composed Zuko and could not help but give his older brother a thumbs up.

"Zuko, you really got it right..."

Zephyr chuckled smugly and approached his sons. "So, how is it? How many points would you give this gift? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

Zuko and Toph exchanged glances. They each put an arm around their father's shoulders and said together, "It's perfect! 100 points!"

Zephyr straightened his back proudly.

"Dad, I can guarantee that mom will be deeply moved after seeing this!" Toph laughed. "Who knows? She might be so touched that your 70-dollar allowance increases to 100 dollars- Ouch!" Before he finished speaking, Zephyr smacked his head.

Zuko and Lina laughed at the scene with their hands held.

Zephyr went back early to spend time with Cordelia after that, leaving the young ones to themselves.

Concerned that Lina might be hungry, Zuko had already asked for dinner in the living room and pulled her over.

Toph seemed like an oversized third wheel, following the couple for the meal with a grumpy face.

"Mom and dad's relationship is enviable." Lina smiled and said, "Honey, will we be as affectionate as them in the future?"

"Of course!" Zuko meticulously removed a fishbone and placed the fish on her plate. "We'll be even more affectionate than them!"

Toph cast them a look. "Dinner can't even plug your affectionate speech now, can it?"

Zuko and Lina laughed. However, Toph was not joking. He was actually feeling a bit unhappy. After all, he also had a girlfriend.
