“You’re Ahao’s sister, so you’re my sister too. I found this by chance when I was abroad. I remembered you liked this kind of gemstone, so I bought it. Keep it.” Mu Chen looked mature and composed, like an older brother.

When Chu Ran heard him mention the word "sister," she felt a little disappointed. Did he only see her as a younger sister?

She gently stroked the cat's-eye gemstone, maintaining her smile, "Thank you, Brother Chen."

After everyone gave gifts to Chu Hao and Chu Ran, the birthday party proceeded as scheduled.

"Tian Tian..." Chu Ran was excited and wanted to take Mu Tian Tian's arm, but suddenly realized that she had to be more reserved. She coughed lightly and said, "Mu Tian Tian, ​​this is a bracelet I bought before. If you don't want it, I'll throw it away."

Mu Tiantian smiled when she saw Chu Ran's arrogant expression. She took the bracelet, which had a cat head pendant with several diamonds on it. It was obviously custom-made.

Chu Ran knew that her liking these things was childish, but the only person willing to be childish with her was Mu Tiantian.

She wore a pink one on her wrist, but gave Mu Tiantian a purple one.

Because Mu Tiantian likes this color.

Mu Tiantian put on the bracelet and swayed it, then hugged Chu Ran and kissed her on the cheek. "Ranran, I really like it. I didn't know you remembered that I like purple. Ranran, you're so kind."

Chu Ran couldn't contain her joy, and the corners of her mouth turned up. Then she tried her best to suppress it and said with disgust, "I just bought it on a whim, don't get me wrong. Besides, you drooled all over my face."

Although she said that, she didn't push Mu Tiantian away.

System: [Chu Ran's rage value decreased by 15, currently at 15.]

Saying one thing and meaning another.

Seeing the two so intimate, Jiang Ye felt jealous and pulled Mu Tiantian closer to him, saying, "She may dislike you, but I don't."

As he spoke, he moved his face closer to Mu Tiantian's mouth.

Chu Ran was displeased when she heard Jiang Ye say that. She grabbed Mu Tiantian's arm and said, "Who said I dislike Tiantian? You savage, stay away from my Tiantian."

"A savage?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow. "You little fatty."

When Chu Ran heard him call her fat, she couldn't stand it anymore. After holding it in for a long time, she finally cursed, "Savage!"

"Fatty!"

"Savage!"

"Fatty!"

Jiang Ye and Chu Ran started bickering like elementary school students.

Mu Tiantian rubbed her forehead, but this feeling was so good, as if she had returned to her university days.

You Lian felt uneasy watching Jiang Ye and Chu Ran argue like elementary school students; this was a scene she had never witnessed in the past two years.

Although Chu Ran treated her as a friend and was quite good to her, she always felt that she was not quite a true friend.

Compared to Mu Tiantian, Chu Ran is at most a little better to her than to other casual acquaintances; she might not even be considered a good friend, let alone a close sister.

A shadow fell over You Lian's eyes. As she passed the corner of Chu Ran's gifts, her gaze fell on the most conspicuous and exquisite gift box.

Seeing that Jiang Ye and Chu Ran were tired of arguing, Mu Tiantian handed each of them a glass of wine.

Chu Ran, as if discovering a new continent, took the wine that Mu Tiantian had poured for her and looked at Jiang Ye with a smug expression, "See? Tiantian poured it for me first."

"Yes, yes, I poured it for you first," Jiang Ye replied perfunctorily.

He was too lazy to argue with Chu Ran anymore. It was her birthday today, so he would let her win this time. After all, Tian Tian was entirely his.

Chu Hao and Mu Chen both looked helpless.

But I haven't felt this wonderful feeling in a long time.

...

Mu Tiantian went to the restroom halfway through.

While everyone was having fun and no one was paying attention to her, You Lian walked up to Mu Tiantian's backpack and secretly put the cat's eye gem into Mu Tiantian's bag.

Chu Ran saw You Lian's bent-over back and called out to her, "You Lian, come and eat cake with us."

"Um... okay." You Lian felt a little nervous.

"What's wrong?" Chu Ran asked with concern when he noticed that her complexion seemed a bit off.

"It's nothing. I saw your bags were missing, so I just picked them up." You Lian said, pushing the backpack in the corner further in, trying to appear as natural as possible.

Chu Ran didn't think much of it and pulled her over to eat cake together.

System: [You Lian secretly put Chu Ran's cat's eye gem into your bag, possibly to frame you.]

Mu Tiantian: [Would the female protagonist of this world do something like this?]

Mu Tiantian could hardly believe it.

System: [If her state of mind changes, then it's possible.]

Mu Tiantian: [Since that's the case, then I can only give them a taste of their own medicine.]

After fixing her hair, Mu Tiantian came out of the bathroom and ran into Mu Chen.

The two stopped.

Mu Tiantian spoke first, "Brother."

Mu Chen smiled faintly, "Tian Tian."

This was the first time Mu Tiantian had faced Mu Chen since returning.

Last time at the bar, I didn't even get a chance to say a few words to him before Jiang Ye kicked me out.

When Mu Tiantian left this world, she told everyone that she was going to find Mu Chen.

Because Mu Chen was so angry with her that he left the country, she just happened to use him as an excuse.

Later everyone found out that Mu Tiantian had never gone to see him at all.

Mu Chen thought he would be very angry when he saw Mu Tiantian again, but he didn't seem as angry as he had imagined.

"Brother, wait for me a moment." Mu Tiantian quickly returned to the bar lobby, took out a figurine from the handbag next to her backpack on the booth, and put the cat's eye diamond from her bag into You Lian's bag.

She moved quickly, and by the time You Lian saw her, she had already left with the figurine.

Chu Ran noticed that You Lian kept looking in one direction and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I just saw Mu Tiantian rushing around with something in her hand. I wonder if something happened," You Lian asked Chu Ran. "Why don't we go check on her?"

Seeing that Mu Chen wasn't there, You Lian guessed that Mu Tiantian had taken something to see Mu Chen.

She knew that Mu Chen and Mu Tiantian were not biological siblings, and their parents were now divorced, so there might be something between them.

Chu Ran stood up worriedly when she heard that something might have happened to Mu Tiantian, while the others were singing and drinking and didn't notice them.

Chu Ran and You Lian walked together toward Mu Tiantian.

When You Lian saw Mu Tiantian and Mu Chen, she stopped in her tracks and grabbed Chu Ran, "Mu Tiantian and Mu Chen, what are they doing?"

Chu Ran felt somewhat uncomfortable when she saw You Lian pulling her along as if to eavesdrop.

Just then, Mu Tiantian's voice came through.

"This is an apology gift for you. I remember you quite liked collecting these things." Mu Tiantian handed the figurine to Mu Chen.

The figurine she made for Mu Chen was also of him, depicting him playing the guitar and singing.

Mu Chen stared at the figurine, somewhat lost in thought.

"Mu Tiantian, how old are you? Why are you still playing in the mud?"

"This is clay, used for making figurines. I see you like collecting these, so I'll make one for you."

"What can you possibly make? I won't accept you and your mother, who's a mistress, because of this piece of trash you're worthless!"

Later, the first gift Mu Chen received from Mu Tiantian was a guitar figurine, which was almost identical to the real thing.

It was from that time that the relationship between the siblings improved.
