CH 26

Helloooo~ A massive update is being posted. ^^

Now, you may ask what prompted me to do this, hehe. Last night, I checked the chapters I posted and for the first time found out that there are people commenting! Huhu. Your comments means a lot to me guys. <3

Mu Xiaoke’s birthday was on November 21st, the third day after Chu Han left. After Mu Xiaoke sent that message, he didn’t wait for Chu Han’s reply. On his birthday, he was also a little absent-minded.

Luo Jiaming knew about Mu Xiaoke’s birthday because she had read the information about her classmates, so she came early to say happy birthday to Mu Xiaoke, “Xiao Ke, are you going to have a birthday party today?”

Mu Xiaoke shook his head. Now he is a 22-year-old adult, a mature man who has experienced life and death and has long since lost his attachment to birthdays.

“Then are you going home?”

Mu Xiaoke also shook his head. Since the parent meeting that day, Mu Xiangyang has not called him again, although he still gave him pocket money on time.

Anyway, it’s for everyone’s good that he doesn’t go back, otherwise, there will be a fight.

“Then are you alone? Otherwise, I’ll ask Xiao Yin to come over too. Let’s go out for a meal at night.”

Mu Xiaoke thought for a while and nodded. He doesn’t really want to go home now. He is the only one living on that floor, and he is somehow lonely.

After school in the afternoon, Mu Xiaoke and Luo Jiaming stood on the curb at the school gate and waited for Xiaoyin.

Luo Jiaming took out her mobile phone and showed Mu Xiaoke the photo album, “Did you know that we secretly took a lot of photos of Teacher Chu before, and a few boys made them into a photo album, which is so funny.”

Mu Xiaoke saw it clearly and immediately laughed. Chu Han was serious in class, but he was caught with an ugly expression and made it into an emoji package with text, which is full of funny effects!

“Didi Didi!” A sudden sound of the horn startled the two of them. This is the school section, and honking is not allowed at all. The two raised their heads to see who was pulling it.

A scene that made Mu Xiaoke extremely horrified appeared. Rong Yanzhe took off his sunglasses and got out of the car, and those long legs walked straight toward them!

Without even thinking about it, Mu Xiaoke dragged Luo Jiaming and started running. Luo Jiaming was still holding her mobile phone, and Mu Xiaoke was about to tear off her schoolbag strap!

“Xiao Ke! What’s the matter?!” Luo Jiaming yelled and found herself asking in vain. Mu Xiaoke couldn’t speak! How can he have time to type now?

However, a girl and an immature boy couldn’t run as fast as the college student who had just grown up, and they were overtaken within 20 meters.

Rong Yanzhe stopped the two of them with one hand, “Mu Xiaoke, why are you running!”

Mu Xiaoke grabbed Luo Jiaming and pulled her behind him. Why run? Rong Yanzhe should ask himself, he had already made his words so clear. Rong Yanzhe still came to pester him, there was only one reason, and that was Mu Kai’s begging.

Rong Yanzhe is not the kind of person who doesn’t have self-esteem, and he never likes to give his face to others for slapping.

Mu Xiaoke thought that his repeated rejection should be enough to embarrass Rong Yanzhe, who would have thought that he would start committing crimes for Mu Kai just like his cousin.

“I’m here to pick you up for dinner. It’s your birthday today. Have you forgotten? By the way, Xiaokai also said that he would ask for a leave, especially for you. Why don’t you wait for him? He still remembers your birthday even though he’s under so much pressure now. Do you think you should thank him well?”

Look, sure enough, it was Mu Kai again.

“Xiao Ke, how come your brother has so many suitors, and all of them are so stupid?”

Luo Jiaming really is not afraid of tigers when she is a newborn calf, and he also uttered wild words to Rong Yanzhe, a black-faced god, but this pierces Rong Yanzhe’s heart, liver, and lungs.

But Mu Xiaoke couldn’t be as indifferent as Luo Jiaming, he turned his head and winked at Luo Jiaming, telling her not to talk nonsense. Mu Xiaoke didn’t forget how Rong Yanzhe treated those who secretly treated him well. He didn’t want Luo Jiaming to be involved in this complicated polygamy.

Mu Xiaoke was vigilant and led Luo Jiaming back to the school gate step by step. When Rong Yanzhe wanted to come in, Luo Jiaming yelled: “Uncle Campus Police, that person wants to hit us!”

The security guard was scared and immediately stood up from the stool. “What’s the matter, who are you, and what are you doing in our school?”

Rong Yanzhe’s face was as black as charcoal. The little girl next to Mu Xiaoke could piss him off with two consecutive sentences. Let him know whose child this is, and he must let her know the consequences of offending him!

“Xiao Ke, you’re still here, that’s great!”

Fu Jiayun’s voice suddenly came from behind, which made Mu Xiaoke even dizzier. Fu Jiayun came over with a gift box and looked at Mu Xiaoke with a smile on his face, “Xiao Ke, I called you just now but you didn’t answer. I couldn’t find you in the classroom, so I thought you were gone.”

“Xiao Ke, why is there another one?” Luo Jiaming murmured to Mu Xiaoke in a low voice, reasoning Ah, they, freshmen just wanted to have a meal. Why are there so many older people coming out to intervene? There is a generation gap, okay, who wants to eat with them?!

Mu Xiaoke stared at Fu Jiayun closely and faced Fu Jiayun with the same nervous vigilance as he faced Rong Yanzhe. Fu Jiayun immediately felt Mu Xiaoke’s vigilance, “Xiao Ke, I have no other intentions. I just want to help you celebrate your birthday. You used to eat cake at home, but this year you don’t want to go home, we really can’t bear to leave you alone…”

“Senior, you are wrong. He’s not alone. I’m with him, and our friends who are having a good time will come over. Have you misunderstood something? Xiaoke is so nice and has many friends, so he doesn’t need to pester you brothers to have company.”

Luo Jiaming has also understood Mu Kai’s malice towards Mu Xiaoke in the past few months, so he has also had experience in dealing with them. They have been wearing the mask of hypocrites for a long time, thinking that everyone will play this hypocritical game with them. People have exposed their masks, and they can’t even speak.

“Sister, you speak too much.” Fu Jiayun frowned. He has never liked Luo Jiaming because this kind of upright little girl is too good at piercing his heart. More importantly, Mu Xiaoke was a boy, and he was with this girl every day, which made him very uneasy.

“You think my words are ugly, but your deeds are uglier! Xiao Ke has been in school for a few months, and he was bullied in school for several months. Every time, thanks to you, he was discussed by the whole school. Now he wants to have a quiet birthday with his friends, and you still have the face to spoil it. Do you think he cares about the gift you gave or your invites for a meal?”

Fu Jiayun quickly looked at Mu Xiaoke, “Xiao Ke, look…”

Mu Xiaoke finished typing at this time and immediately showed it to Fu Jiayun: “Thank you for the gift, I don’t need it. I have already made an appointment with my friends. I won’t go with you.”

“What did he say?” Rong Yanzhe could only stand by the door and couldn’t see Mu Xiaoke at all.

Fu Jiayun looked at Mu Xiaoke, and Mu Xiaoke firmly refused to look at him, let alone the gift box he stuffed over.

Fu Jiayun had no choice but to go out and say to Rong Yanzhe, “He is going to eat with his friends, and won’t go with us.”

Rong Yanzhe snorted, “I drove all the way here. If he said he won’t go, he won’t go. Tie him up for me.”

“Hey hey hey, what’s the matter with you? Didn’t you know this is a school? You said these things in front of our school guard, which is ridiculous!”

Fu Jiayun hurriedly pushed Rong Yanzhe aside, “Don’t force Xiao Ke, let’s go.”

“Us? Where’s Xiao Kai?”

Fu Jiayun sighed heavily, “He didn’t ask for leave, and the head teacher refused to let him out.”

“What? What’s going on?” Rong Yanzhe I was stunned. How come he can’t get a night off for self-study?

“Uncle Mu and the homeroom teacher made a private decision. If it wasn’t Uncle Mu who called in person, the homeroom teacher wouldn’t let him go.”

At this time, a group of little girls in Hanfu flocked to the school gate from across the road. Luo Jiaming was sharp-eyed, recognized Xiaoyin among them, and waved to them excitedly. “Xiaoyin!”

Xiao Yin flew over, the two little sisters hugged each other, and then pulled Mu Xiaoke into the group, and a group of little girls surrounded Mu Xiaoke, the birthday star, and ran vigorously.

Rong Yanzhe and Fu Jiayun were stunned when they saw it. They were not ignorant people, but they had never seen so many little girls surrounding Mu Xiaoke! Since when did Mu Xiaoke like to wear Hanfu? Why did he know so many girls in this circle? These girls specially wore Hanfu to pick him up at the school gate for Mu Xiaoke’s birthday. This is simply unbelievable!

“What’s going on with Mu Xiaoke?” Rong Yanzhe asked.

Fu Jiayun was also at a loss, “I don’t know, I’ve never heard Xiao Ke mention these girls.”

Rong Yanzhe snorted coldly, “I don’t know what tricks he’s playing!”

Mu Xiaoke was led by a group of flower-like girls. After rushing into the shopping mall, Mu Xiaoke found out that Xiao Yin and the others had booked this tea restaurant. The tea restaurant was decorated with balloons and ribbons in a very cute and romantic way. The big happy birthday balloons were stuck to the glass wall of the restaurant which could be seen by people coming and going.

“Xiao Ke, surprise!” Luo Jiaming and Xiao Yin sprayed ribbons on Mu Xiaoke together. 

Mu Xiaoke’s heart was as sweet as honey, and his eyes were hot. “Thank you!” 

Mu Xiaoke made sign language. Although he always tells others that he likes to be alone and quiet. But he likes to be lively in his bones, and he likes a group of people to have fun together. He has been suppressing himself because he knows that he can’t be so indulgent, but now he is really moved to see so many people who meet by chance are willing to get together for him.

Luo Jiaming could understand this simple sign language, so he explained his meaning to everyone, and then laughed loudly: “Our little hairpin man is 16 years old today!”

Everyone shouted: “16 years old!”

After everyone sat down, Luo Jiaming explained to Mu Xiaoke, “As soon as I talked to Xiao Yin in the morning, she organized everyone in the group to help you celebrate your birthday. These 6 young ladies have all bought your hairpins, and they happen to live here. We took advantage of the lunch break to contact the store owner, the boss is very kind, and agreed immediately.”

“But I’m sorry to let you spend money.” Mu Xiaoke typed.

One of the young ladies quickly said: “It’s nothing expensive, the boss is my own brother, hahaha.”

Others also laughed, “Yes, we usually like to book a place for social gatherings. Her brother is eager for us to come.”

“Thank you again, this birthday is the happiest birthday I have ever had!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, hurry up, we have a surprise. bring the things quickly!” Xiaoyin winked at Luo Jiaming eagerly and was more anxious to unwrap the present than the birthday celebrant.

With that said, Luo Jiaming went out and brought in the gift.

It’s just that he didn’t expect she would bring a person. A young man with the appearance of an elite in a suit and leather shoes walked up to Mu Xiaoke holding a super large gift box, “Master Mu, hello, this is a birthday present entrusted to me by a friend.”

Mu Xiaoke stood up involuntarily. He couldn’t believe his eyes and hesitantly press his hand on the top of the gift box. The other party looked at him with a smile, “Please open it and have a look.”

Mu Xiaoke followed suit, and the gift box was divided into two halves, one half of which was a set of books as thick as a Chinese dictionary printed on coated paper. Mu Xiaoke was extremely suspicious, while taking it out, he looked at the elite man.

The elite man explained: “This is the ancient hairpin pattern, the latest complete works of the Forbidden City Publishing House.”

Everyone laughed, “This friend’s gift is too professional.”

Mu Xiaoke blushed, and he put the book down. The other half came in a velvet gift box, with a pair of gloves next to it.

“For the preservation of the gift, Young Master Mu should put on gloves.”

“What kind of treasure is this!” Luo Jiaming and the others couldn’t hold back anymore and moved closer to Mu Xiaoke.

Wearing gloves, Mu Xiaoke carefully opened the small gift box, and inside lay a Dian Cui tin with a sense of age. Mu Xiaoke’s eyes can’t move away from it, this thing is not imitation! It’s true!

(TN: Dian-Cui (dotting with kingfisher feathers) refers to a traditional Chinese manufacturing technique for decorating jewelry and other precious handicrafts using the blue feathers of kingfishers.)

“It was collected from a descendant of an ancient prince. Although the price was not high, it was repaired by the professor of cultural relics restoration in the Forbidden City, and it was basically restored to its original state. This tin has a history of more than a hundred years.”

“Oh my god, What an antique!”

“My God, who prepared this mysterious gift! Xiao Yin, are you such a rich woman?”

“It’s not me! Luo Jiaming! What’s the situation!”

Luo Jiaming snickered, “Oh my goodness! You Won’t understand even after talking about it.” Then, Luo Jiaming looked down at Mu Xiaoke’s expression and teased him: “He said you can guess it without saying his name. Xiao Ke, did you guess it? “

Mu Xiaoke gently put down the tin and closed the gift box carefully. He already had an answer in his heart. He snickered, and when he raised his head, he was still trying to suppress his smile, so as not to let himself laugh so ostentatiously. He respectfully nodded to the elite man, “Thank you.” 

The elite man re-tied the things and solemnly handed them over to Mu Xiaoke, “The gentleman wishes you a happy birthday and a happy and safe life in the future.” After the gift box was delivered, the man said goodbye and leave.

Mu Xiaoke carefully put the box on the empty chair beside him, then blocked it with his schoolbag, and finally patted the schoolbag twice to feel relieved.

“Xiao Ke, you seem like a little money fan now, hahaha.” Xiao Yin teased him, “Hey if I got such a treasure, I would marry the one who gave the gift!”

“Xiao Yin, don’t be a nymphomaniac. Xiao Ke is so cute, you can’t just marry so casually!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, here comes the cake!”

Luo Jiaming hurriedly stood up and shouted, “Hey, don’t talk for now, let the little birthday boy start the ceremony!”

The cake was delivered to the table. It was dark outside, and the lights in the shop were all out, only the candles on the cake were flickering and shining.

Luo Jiaming put the birthday crown on Mu Xiaoke’s head, “Happy Birthday!” After singing a birthday song, Mu Xiaoke made three wishes devoutly.

The first one is to hope that all those who care about him can have happiness.

Second, I hope that I can live a healthy life.

The third…

Blow out the candles and start a happy and relaxing birthday party.

After the party, Mu Xiaoke returned home alone. He took out his mobile phone and solemnly thanked Chu Han.

“Teacher Chu, thank you for the gift you gave me. This birthday is my happiest birthday.”

Mu Xiaoke saw that they had only a few words of chat, and he didn’t have hope for Chu Han’s reply. The moment he was about to put down his phone, the reply came!

“Xiao Ke, happy birthday. Sweet dreams.”
