After sending Christie back to the church and being thanked by the old pastor, Holmes rushed home without stopping.Although she knew it a long time ago, Scarlett was still very moved when she saw the furnished house and a big cake. In order to surprise her, the Holmes couple came back early to make preparations.

"Although it's a bit late, today is also a special day, my dear." Mr. Holmes and Mrs. Holmes stepped forward and kissed Scarlett respectively. They pushed her in front of the cake and put on a silly dress for her. But every year Scarlett gets a paper crown for her birthday.

Mr. Holmes said: "We didn't know your real birthday before, but now that we know it this year, we decided to make up for you. Mycroft happens to be free for a whole day today, and the weather is very good... Do you feel How is it, dear?"

"I feel very good, Daddy, and although I doubt that Mycroft's purpose in making this suggestion is to mix up a few more cakes, I still thank him for making it for me today. And of course you, Sherlock ’” Scarlett held Sherlock’s face and kissed him, just in time to stop him from rioting because Scarlett thanked Mycroft first.

In addition, thinking of Mycroft's little hobby, Mr. and Mrs. Holmes were silent for a while. They both felt that their eldest son could do something like make up for his sister's birthday because he wanted to eat cake openly...

"Do I look like this kind of person?" Mycroft said dissatisfiedly, he will not take the blame for this.

"In that case, you can only eat one piece, Mike." Mrs. Holmes replied quickly.

Lifting a rock and shooting himself in the foot, no matter how sad Mycroft was, he would not dare to disobey Mummy's words.

The cake is specially made. Under the words "Happy Birthday", there is a little witch in a robe and a soft pointed hat riding a broom drawn in dark chocolate. There are also sugar figures of various magical animals next to it, making the cake look like a happy birthday. Not like a birthday cake, but more like a Halloween cake.

Scarlett went against the rules. Instead of cutting the cake diagonally into fans or cubes, she dug a hole along the middle of the little witch, and cut the extra cake on the side in a mess.Mr. Holmes and Mrs. Holmes didn't stop it, but cheerfully chopped it up as Scarlevin wanted, and it didn't matter if it was chopped into mud.

Alright, now that the "little witch" is roughly cut out, Scarlevin has trimmed the edges to make the whole cake look less...crumbly.

Then she carefully prepared to cut the knife...

"Let me try it. You want to cut it out accurately while preserving the integrity of the pattern." Sherlock rubbed his hands and said with great interest.This game is somewhat similar to "Pushing Wooden Blocks", but "Stacking Wooden Blocks" is to build a tower of regular wooden strips and then push out the middle wooden strips. This seems to be more interesting.

"Okay. You go first." Skalevin thought for a while and handed the knife to Sherlock.

Sherlock took the cake knife with confidence, and combined with Skalevin's gestures and movements of cutting the cake just now, he calculated the thickness of the cream layer and cake from the cut surface. He chose to start with the little witch's broom for the first cut. Here is a The straight line, is the easy part.

Okay, let's go with a knife!

...the little witch painted in dark chocolate is pasted from the tip of the broom to the hand...

Sherlock: ...

Scarlett: ...

"One more knife, one more knife." Juanjuan booed from the side.

The unscrupulous parents who had already started to eat the cake laughed together. For the sake of his brother/sister's face, Mycroft suppressed his smile.

Sherlock threw the knife, "Why is this cake so soft? It's unscientific! Don't laugh." Angrily, he jumped onto the sofa, hugged his knees, and turned his back to everyone.

Holmes and his wife: "Ahahahaha..." Since his son was seven years old, it was difficult to make fun of him, and it was rare for him to be so stupid.

Scarlett is crazy too, okay?Thanks to her trusting Sherlock so much... Her perfect commemorative cake picture turned out to be such a blur!Scarlevin picked up the knife and gestured for a long time, but in the end she couldn't accept the incomplete pattern.

"Mum, look at what Sherlock has done!" Scaleven complained with a puffy face.

"Idiot, idiot." Juan flew to the table to steal a piece of cake, but was chased away by Scaleven angrily.

"Okay, okay, since it's already broken, why not just cut it open, at least you can still cut out a few pieces of geometric figures, how about it?" Mrs. Holmes coaxed in a good-tempered manner.

"Hmph!" Skalevin pouted, instead of listening to Mummy's advice, she swung the knife first and cut the cake into two parts horizontally.Now one cake has become two pieces, one with no cream underneath and one with no cream above and below.

Scarlevin cut the half of the cake that became the cake base into rectangles, and then handed the largest piece to Mycroft: "Here, Mycroft, there will be less cream this way, at least Save your teeth and your weight."

Don't think she didn't know, Mycroft knew it was going to happen before Sherlock cut the knife, but he wouldn't say it.

"Thank you." Mycroft didn't take it seriously, and took the cake with a smile.

Scarlett took another piece and put it on the plate, and yelled at Sherlock: "Sherlock, do you really not want to eat it?"

Two seconds later, Sherlock jumped on the ground and strode over. He didn't take the cake that Scarlevin handed over, but scraped the biggest piece of cream cake and put it on the plate.

"Of course I want to." Sherlock reservedly cut a piece of cake with a small fork and stuffed it into his mouth, "I don't have to worry about weight and teeth."

Mycroft lying on the gun: "..." What does it matter to me?

"Jujuan is not there yet, Juanjuan is not yet!" Jujuan shouted unwillingly.

"Oh, sorry, my dear Mr. Parrot, there are a lot of things that birds can't eat, including sweets and all kinds of chocolate." Scaleven said falsely, "So, you don't have your share of the cake!"

"What!" Juanjuan looked at Mrs. Holmes with a battered look, and shook his head in disapproval when she found that she was disapproving. It flew to find the new owl brother with a desperate "beep".

"Gift time~" Scarlett raised her hand and yelled after eating the cake, and Mr. Holmes laughed again because of her money-lovers. "We have already prepared, and all the gifts are next door." He said, "We Let's go now."

So everyone put down the empty plates in their hands, hugged Skalevin and went to the reception room next door.

On the table in the reception room, beautifully wrapped gift boxes were piled high.Mr. Holmes was the first to pick up the top box and hand it to Scarlett.Scarlevin lay on the chair and untied the bow on the box, and carefully opened the wrapping paper and laid it on the ground before opening the box.

Inside was a violin that was not unexpected. Of course, it was not a famous work. Given that Scarlett had only started to learn the violin for less than a year, Mr. Holmes would not be so prodigal to give her a famous work. What.

"Hogwarts doesn't have music lessons, but I hope you don't neglect your practice, my dear, maybe when you come back for Christmas, we can form a small string orchestra?" Mr. Holmes said optimistically.

"Okay, Daddy ~ thank you, Daddy~" Scarlett said sweetly, and at the same time thought to herself, if Mycroft and Sherlock would come back for Christmas, judging from their expressions, it is estimated that by now Are you thinking of a reason why you can't come back?

Mrs. Holmes's gift was a beautiful hair ornament. The butterfly shape implied Scarlett's name. The transparent wings were slightly opened as if about to fly. The golden body was inlaid with several brightly colored broken gemstones, which made her Its whole style will not look old-fashioned because of its expensiveness.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful." Skalevin's eyes lit up very clearly, no matter what age a woman is, it is difficult to resist shiny gems. "Help me put it on, Sherlock." Scaleven handed the hair accessory to Sherlock who was standing next to her.Sherlock gave a "tsk", but helped her put it on her head very skillfully.

"Does it look good?" Skalevin shook her head.

"Of course, dear, very pretty."

"suitable for you."

"It's up to me." Sherlock was already eager to try. He reached out and dug out a large package from under the pile of presents. Instead of using a box, he just wrapped the contents with a large sheet of paper, and tied a very complex knot.Well, it's not just Scarleven, everyone has a bad feeling when they see this thing.

"Sherlock." Myerloft's warning was already too late, and she didn't know which thread Sherlock pulled. The flower popped open, revealing the...skull inside.

"It's very special, isn't it?" Sherlock said quickly, "So I made it a perfect specimen alone, but it took a lot of effort..." He took the skull in his hand and twirled it half a circle .

"Sherlock!" Mrs. Holmes was really angry. She can give her children the greatest freedom to develop their hobbies, but it doesn't mean that she allows Sherlock to put her "little boy" without making sure that Scarlett can accept it. hobbies” are displayed.

"Uh... I can't see anything special, but the production is pretty good." Skalevin made a very objective evaluation, and then she asked strangely: "I remember that you applied for the Department of Chemistry, where did you get it?" Did you come here? Wait..." Skalevin swallowed "You made this yourself", or did she irritate Mommy and Daddy, "I really want to know where that poor body is?"

"Oh, where it's supposed to be, of course." Sherlock replied absently.

Scarlett: "..." There are too many slots.

In the end, this "gift" was confiscated by Mrs. Holmes on the grounds that it was not in line with women's aesthetics... This reason was so strong that Sherlock could not refute it.However, Sherlock still gave Skalevin another gift... It seems that he still knows the fate of his first gift.

This time, Scarlett also learned how to open the gift on the spot, "Thank you, Sherlock." She hugged Sherlock, and then whispered in his ear, "If you don't want to be confiscated, you should really give it to me in private." I."

Sherlock exited unhappy.Mycroft secretly decided to send all the agents monitoring his younger brother back for special training.

Next came Mycroft's presents. His gifts were always practical, and this time was no exception.This is a steel Rubik's cube. It seems a bit inappropriate to say it is a Rubik's cube. In fact, it is a Rubik's cube made up of various tools. It is produced by the mi6 military supply department. After Loft became the common boss of mi5 and mi6, private use of public equipment has become the norm: If you haven't monitored Sherlock Holmes's house, you are ashamed to say that you are a British spy.Even mi5's 0 and mi6's m can't do anything about it.

"It's great!" Scarlevin folded the manual and put it in her pocket, not planning to read it now. The Rubik's Cube itself is also very interesting. She plans to play with it first, and read the manual if she really can't pretend to go back.

This gift was too much for Scalevan, and she ignored Mycroft's refusal and kissed him on the cheek, which made Sherlock's unconvinced jealousy burst.
