“Momo, don’t just make wishes for us. Make one for yourself.”

An Lan looked at Bai Yumo gently. He was glad that he had dumped Xia Jinmian and chosen Bai Yumo. 10 Xia Jinmians could not hold a candle to such an understanding girl!

Bai Yumo playfully opened one eye and stole a glance at An Lan. She smiled and said, “I did. I just want to be happy every day. The most important thing to me now is An Lan’s audition and Mianmian’s National Examination. Mianmian can only leave here if she gets accepted to college. I don’t want her to stay in the orphanage forever.”

Xiao Shanshan suddenly snorted and complained, “Momo, Xia Jinmian didn’t even buy you a gift, yet you still made a wish for her. Your kindness is not appreciated at all.”

“Shanshan!” Bai Yumo said helplessly, “Mianmian’s financial difficulties are understandable.”

“Difficulties? She just drank a 45-dollar cup of milk tea! She has the money to drink milk tea but doesn’t have the money to buy you a gift. She clearly did it on purpose!”

Bai Yumo was stunned. She looked at Xia Jinmian in confusion and lowered her head in disappointment.

In An Lan’s eyes, it was obvious that Xia Jinmian had deliberately not bought Bai Yumo a birthday gift. He immediately wanted to tear into Xia Jinmian. How could she be so thoughtless?

As he looked up and met Xia Jinmian’s beautiful and smiling eyes, the words of reproach stuck in his throat. He was mesmerized by that alluring face.

Xia Jinmian—with her beautiful and smiling eyes—walked over and held Bai Yumo’s hand.

Just as Bai Yumo looked up in confusion, the bracelet of magnetic marbles on Xia Jinmian’s wrist slid onto hers.

The cold touch made Bai Yumo recognize that this bracelet was her birthday gift to Xia Jinmian.

She was so shocked that she immediately wanted to take off the bracelet. But Xia Jinmian held her hand tightly and said with a meaningful smile,

“I specially went to Thousand Buddha Temple today to seek blessings for this bracelet. I wish you and An Lan everlasting love.” After a pause, she said, “The eminent monk said that if you take off the bracelet rashly, you and An Lan will become star-crossed lovers and break up. So, don’t lose the bracelet accidentally.”

Thousand Buddha Temple was the most famous temple in Luo City. Xia Jinmian had brought Ye Moliang to Thousand Buddha Temple to play in the afternoon.

However, the blessings were fake. She just wanted to give Bai Yumo the life-threatening bracelet.

Everyone was very surprised to hear this. Everyone knew that this bracelet—which cost a few hundred yuan—was given by Bai Yumo to Xia Jinmian and was cherished by Xia Jinmian very much!

She was willing to gift Bai Yumo such an expensive bracelet after seeking blessings for it at Thousand Buddha Temple? She even graciously gave her blessings for the two of them?

Even An Lan was stupefied. He suspected that Xia Jinmian was playing hard to get and wanted to use this method to make him let down his guard.

Bai Yumo was the only one who was panicking. She knew the origin of this bracelet better than anyone else. Wearing it for too long would kill her!

However, Xia Jinmian looked at her and asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to be with An Lan forever? If you don’t want to, then take it off and return it to me?”

Bai Yumo: “…” I’m so mad!

Xiao Shanshan suddenly snorted. “Who knows if she really went to seek blessings out of goodwill? Don’t pretend to be a good person!”

Xia Jinmian’s beautiful eyes narrowed and a trace of murderous look flashed past. Her smile became even more sinister and glacial.

A 10-year-old bald boy sitting at the corner of the table suddenly said nervously, “Sister Shanshan, when I was sweeping the door of Thousand Buddha Temple today, I saw Sister Mianmian come to Thousand Buddha Temple.”

Another male student in Xia Jinmian’s class also said nervously, “Sister Shanshan, Xia Jinmian didn’t go to school today.”

Xiao Shanshan snorted coldly. Although she did not believe that Xia Jinmian would be so kind as to pray for Bai Yumo and An Lan, she could not say anything else since there were witnesses.

However, Bai Yumo hesitated, as if she did not want to wear the bracelet.

Everyone could not help but wonder. A bracelet that cost a few hundred yuan was very expensive for orphans like them!

Did Bai Yumo now look down on bracelets that cost a few hundred yuan?
