She's Soft, Cute, and Sweet

Right at the start of the school year, Ding Kemeng heard a rumor: XiuShui High School had a notorious school bully who picked on classmates, defied teachers, and committed all sorts of mischief...<...

Chapter 118 The Annoying May

[Lu Ziyin, this Sunday is the baby's birthday, did you know?]

Lu Ziyin, who had no idea that Sunday was Ding Kemeng's birthday: "..."

He had never heard the baby mention this before!

Lu Ziyin was shocked and quickly asked someone to get the information of the students in Class 10 for him. Soon after, Lu Ziyin received Ding Kemeng's information.

After glancing up and down, I realized that Ding Kemeng's birth date was indeed this week!

But why didn't the baby tell him?

If he hadn't received Ye Nai's message, wouldn't he have missed the baby's birthday?

Lu Ziyin felt a little angry when she thought about this situation.

The Ding family.

Ding Kemeng calmly declined Li Yi's offer to take time off to celebrate her birthday. After chatting with Li Yi for a while, Ding Kemeng sighed, finished her homework, and went to eat.

During the meal, Mr. and Mrs. Ding hesitated for a moment, but still asked the questions they wanted to ask.

"Mengmeng, it's your birthday this year. How about your parents throw you a birthday party or something, and invite your friends over for a meal?" Mr. Ding asked cautiously, afraid of upsetting his daughter.

Upon hearing this, Ding Kemeng, unusually quiet and obedient as usual, did not reply to her father.

Mr. Ding was met with a rebuff and looked somewhat embarrassed. He quickly gave Mrs. Ding a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Ding's mother quickly chimed in, "Honey, Mom thinks this is your sixteenth birthday, which is quite a big one. How about we have a small celebration?"

Ding Kemeng swallowed the last mouthful of rice and gently put down her chopsticks.

It was such a simple action, yet it made the Ding couple's hearts skip a beat, and they fell silent.

"I'm full, I'm going back to my bedroom now."

Watching his daughter's departing figure, Mr. Ding was somewhat bewildered: "Did she agree or not?"

Ding's mother rolled her eyes at her husband and said helplessly, "It's obvious he doesn't want to. This child probably still remembers what happened before!"

"Sigh~ It's been so long, why does Mengmeng still remember it..."

Ding Kemeng returned to her bedroom, grabbed a change of clothes, and took a shower. When she came out, she was still unable to calm down.

In May, people around her would always remind her that it was her birthday.

She disliked May, especially her birthday, as it always reminded her of disgusting things from her childhood!

Time flies; it was only a few days, and it was over in the blink of an eye.

Just as Tang Qiushui had said, Saturday was indeed a very lively day at the Tang family mansion.

Mr. Tang put a lot of effort into his daughter's birthday celebration this year. He not only prepared a variety of delicious foods at home, but also held a dance party, inviting most of the prominent figures in City B.

Tang Zhizhou didn't quite approve of this kind of banquet, but since this was his father, he couldn't say anything.

Today, Tang Qiushui, as the main character of the banquet, is indeed dressed very beautifully and exquisitely.

"Brother, has Brother Ziyin arrived? I can't find him!" Tang Qiushui, after showing off to her friends, approached Tang Zhizhou. She had already searched the house thoroughly but couldn't find Lu Ziyin.

But Uncle Lu and that annoying woman have arrived!

Xie Sichen was sitting next to Tang Zhizhou. The two were talking when they heard Tang Qiushui's question. They were also a little surprised: "I didn't see him. Didn't he come?" That's impossible. Although Lu Ziyin is not human, he always keeps his promises. Since he promised to come, he will definitely come.

"I didn't see him!" Tang Qiushui said, a little unhappy, her lips pouting.

"He's probably late, why don't you wait a little longer?" Tang Zhizhou thought for a moment and offered this comforting suggestion.

Since the person hadn't come, Tang Qiushui's temper was useless now, so she could only nod in agreement.

Lu Ziyin was indeed planning to come, but something came up at the last minute, so she left separately from her father and the others.

About half an hour after the banquet began, Lu Ziyin arrived at the Tang family home. The butler greeted him with a smile, but Lu Ziyin, finding it troublesome, waved him away.

He had visited the Tang family's residence many times, so he was quite familiar with it.

Taking a shortcut, Lu Ziyin quietly slipped into the banquet hall and immediately spotted Tang Zhizhou and the others. She quickly walked over to them.

Tang Zhizhou also saw Lu Ziyin, "Why are you so late? You're late!"

Lu Ziyin sat down opposite Tang Zhizhou, extremely thirsty. Seeing water on the table, she quickly drank it down. Xie Sichen tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Lu Ziyin finished drinking a glass of water before realizing, "This isn't water?"

Xie Sichen: "You've already drunk it..."

"Never mind, there's nothing else to do anyway." Lu Ziyin didn't bother to argue, took out the gift behind her, and handed it to Tang Zhizhou.

"This is a gift for your sister. You can give it to her directly after the banquet."

So, he doesn't intend to personally give the gift to Tang Qiushui?

Tang Zhizhou was puzzled: "You're already here, why don't you give her the gift yourself?" If he gave the gift to Qiu Shui later, she would probably keep asking him all sorts of questions.

Thinking about this, Tang Zhizhou felt a headache coming on.

"I have something to do in a bit, I'll just rest for a short while and then I'll be leaving soon," Lu Ziyin said.

"Something wrong? Work?" Tang Zhizhou couldn't imagine what Lu Ziyin could have to do. Couldn't the work be postponed a little? Why did it have to be done today? Xie Sichen looked at Lu Ziyin's expression and suddenly asked, "Is it about Ding Kemeng?"

Tang Zhizhou also looked up: "About Sister Meng?"

"Hmm..." Lu Ziyin rubbed her forehead, feeling the effects of the "water" from earlier kicking in, and her face turned a little red. "Mengbao's birthday is tomorrow."

"No way, what a coincidence!" Tang Zhizhou exclaimed in surprise. "Why didn't Sister Meng tell us? She didn't even give us a hint!"

I'd like to know why!

Hearing Tang Zhizhou's question, Lu Ziyin felt a tightness in her chest.

"I don't know, but I definitely have to go celebrate Mengbao's birthday." Regardless of whether Mengbao mentions it or not, now that he knows, he's determined to go and celebrate her birthday!

"How about we treat Sister Meng to a meal together tomorrow?" Tang Zhizhou suggested.

Xie Sichen also thought the suggestion was good and agreed, saying, "Let's book a restaurant tomorrow and celebrate her birthday."

"No need, I've already made reservations at the restaurant. You can just go there yourselves. But don't forget the gifts, or I'll personally come and fleece you!"

"Do you have to be so beastly!" Tang Zhizhou shrugged, his tone full of disgust.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to chat with you guys anymore. I'm leaving now. My driver is waiting for me outside." Lu Ziyin smiled, stood up, and turned to leave through the back door of the banquet hall.

"He slipped away quickly, leaving me with a huge problem!" Tang Zhizhou looked at the gift in his hand, feeling troubled.

Xie Sichen chuckled inwardly, but put on a sympathetic expression. He stood up, patted Tang Zhizhou on the shoulder, and said, "Good luck!" After saying that, Xie Sichen left to find Lin Changmao and the others on the other side.

Ding Kemeng's birthday gift can't just be given by a few of them...
