"Have you got everything? Your admission ticket, ID card, and a pen... Did you bring an extra one? Don't lose anything," Meng Boqun reminded him, and this was the eighth time he had done so.
"We brought everything, don't worry." The two high school seniors replied to Meng Boqun with some helplessness.
"Eat this, and stay calm. Your parents believe you'll be fine." Qin Yi rubbed her hands together, not daring to make them too much oily food, afraid that their stomachs wouldn't be able to handle it and it would affect their exams.
For two consecutive days, Meng Boqun and Qin Yi escorted the two to school before leaving, and then came to pick them up before they finished their exams.
Finally, the last day is over.
"Wanwan, we're leaving now. Happy birthday!" Lan Xing and Cui Qingling came over specially.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." The two had arranged to visit her and her husband, the Mengs, the next day, but before she could finish speaking, they waved and ran off.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Meng Wan muttered to herself as she packed her things. Just as she stood up, she bumped into Yan Nian, who had also come to see her.
"Wanwan, something urgent has come up at the company and I have to go there. Happy birthday." Yan Nian ruffled his hair, her tone tinged with guilt.
Are you in a hurry?
"It's a temporary document. Yao Qinglin told me to go and confirm it and then sign it."
Meng Wan nodded. "Go ahead."
I'll make up for your birthday present tomorrow.
Meng Wan smiled helplessly and nodded. In fact, she had already received many blessings as soon as noon arrived.
Both of them seemed a bit anxious, but Meng Wan didn't think too much about it, because the other two had celebration banquets prepared for them at home, and the Yan family had been busy for quite some time.
She took her stationery and followed the crowd out of the examination room.
To her surprise, it wasn't the Meng couple waiting for her, but Meng Zhiyuan.
"Big brother." Meng Wan waved, and Meng Zhiyuan saw her, walked over, naturally took the bag from her hand, and patted her head.
"What are your plans after the exam? Do you want to go anywhere for fun?"
"I haven't made any plans yet, but two of my friends want to visit my parents tomorrow."
“I heard from my parents that they’re too busy at the shop right now, so they’re all grabbing a bite to eat after the college entrance exam. They told me to come pick you up first.”
“It’s okay if you don’t pick me up, it’s just a short walk. By the way, aren’t we waiting for Second Brother?” The two only remembered Meng Zhili after they had walked out of the street.
"He's a grown man, he knows how to get home. I don't want to have to walk back to pick him up. Forget it."
Meng Wan glanced back twice, but Meng Zhiyuan grabbed the back of her head and told her to watch where she was going.
"Aren't you going to the noodle shop?"
"No, Mom's worried you'll get heatstroke in this hot summer. She'll make you some mung bean soup to cool you down. Drink it before you go." Meng Zhiyuan's words were perfectly plausible, and Meng Wan didn't think much of it, following Meng Zhiyuan back home.
"I didn't take my keys." Meng Zhiyuan patted his pocket. "I came straight home from the company after receiving a call from my mom."
"The key is with my second brother..." Meng Wan tentatively turned the handle. As soon as she finished speaking, the cannons fired and the confetti rained down.
"Happy birthday, Wanwan!" Meng Wan was startled and looked up. Apart from Meng Zhilian, all the members of the Meng family were there.
She looked behind them; birthday balloons were hanging on the living room wall, and Meng Boqun was carefully carrying a large cake out of the kitchen.
Today is her 18th birthday.
Eighteen years ago on this day, by a twist of fate, she became Tang Wan.
On her 18th birthday, she celebrated her first birthday with her family, now known as Meng Wan.
"Happy birthday, Wanwan! Come on, make a wish and blow out the candles!" In the candlelight, Meng Boqun's smile looked somewhat simple and honest.
Meng Wan obediently did as she was told, and obediently closed her eyes and made a wish.
She didn't believe in these things at first, but after going through so much, she only hoped that everyone around her would be safe and healthy. As for Yan Nian, she hoped that Yan Nian could be a little happier than others.
As soon as the candle went out, Meng Zhiyao clapped her hands, her eyes shining, looking very happy. It was as if she were the protagonist of the day.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad."
"This cake was made by your Aunt Liu."
Meng Wan followed their gaze and realized that Aunt Liu had been standing behind Meng Zhili the whole time. She was already petite, and because she was blocking Meng Wan's view, she was in Meng Wan's blind spot, so she hadn't been noticed if she wasn't paying attention.
"Aunt Liu, thank you for all this trouble."
"Not at all, not at all," Aunt Liu said shyly, wiping her clothes with her hands.
"Come in, come in. I've prepared a whole table of dishes, all your favorites." Qin Yi put her arm around her, and the others gathered around as well.
“Your third brother has just debuted, and he has many schedules that he can’t control. But he said there’s a show today where he will release a new song, and he kept telling me to make sure you watch it.”
Meng Wan was puzzled. Bai Liling had mentioned that Meng Zhilian was preparing a new song, but she and Yan Nian had been preparing for the college entrance examination, so she had left everything to them. Therefore, this was the first time she had heard the song.
"Isn't it about time to start?" Meng Zhili glanced at the clock and turned on the TV.
Meng Boqun cut the cake and placed it in front of everyone one by one.
Meng Zhiyao pulled Meng Wan to sit down, just as the game segment ended and Meng Zhilian was introducing his new song.
"Today is the day the college entrance examination ends, and it is also my sister's birthday. Half a year ago, my biological sister came back home, but at that time our family had just gone bankrupt and we had no way to give my sister a good life."
At this point, Meng Zhilian gave a self-deprecating laugh, while the fans below the stage kept chanting his name and cheering him on.
"My sister is very beautiful and cool. Sometimes, I, as her older brother, feel like an immature younger brother in front of her. I owe my success to my sister."
The people below laughed, and the cheers continued.
Meng Wan smiled, appearing calm on the surface, but her ear tips were already bright red.
When Meng Zhiyuan saw this, he smiled and ruffled her hair, his expression full of affection.
At this moment, Meng Wan is not the founder of W.P. and her later years, but just an ordinary little girl surrounded by love.
"So, this song is for my sister. This is my first truly original composition, and also the title track of my first album. I dedicate it to her at this moment. Happy birthday, Wanwan, and thank you for being our family."
The upbeat melody is very catchy, without any sad tone. Instead, it makes you want to sway along and smile. It's a song that makes you feel happy.
Just like Meng Wan's feelings at this moment.
In the past, she didn't have a clear understanding of the definition of happiness. Every day in the Tang family was extremely oppressive, and she could only breathe a little easier when she was at the Yan family.
But now, she truly feels the warmth of family.
And this feeling wasn't bad for her.
As the song ended, the interview continued. Qin Yi urged her family to eat quickly, seemingly in a hurry.
