With the friendly sponsorship of Tanaka Nobuyuki and Oshizuka Kotoko, the scene was very grand, comparable to a wedding banquet.
As the birthday boy, Ken'ya Oshitari stood at the reception desk wearing a white suit with a smile on his face. He bowed to the guests from time to time, looking handsome and polite.
Next to them are Ken'ya Oshizuka's mother and Jiang Nian's mother Kotoko Oshizuka.
From a distance, Jiang Nian felt that the smile fixed on Ken'ichi Oshitsuka's face was a bit stiff and weird.
So, Jiang Nian couldn't help but mutter: "Oh my god! This birthday is not an easy one."
The image of his ex-girlfriend Sakuragi Yuzhi flashed through Yuushi Ozuki's mind. He didn't hear what Jiang Nian said, and when he reacted, he had already walked in front of Kenya Ozuki.
Kenya Oshitari smiled as usual and bowed: "Thank you for taking the time to attend my birthday party."
After seeing the newcomer, Kenya Oshige grabbed his cousin Yuushi Oshige and said, "Yuushi, you've come just in time. Please help me welcome the guest here."
At this time, Jiang Nian was following Yuushi Ozaki to bow in return and greet the two elders.
“…” Yuushi Oshitari did not want to agree to Kenya Oshitari’s request.
At this moment, Oshitari Yuushi's mother came out of the banquet hall and said, "Yuushi, please help Kenya."
Then he said to the others, "Sister-in-law, Qinzi, Jiang Nian, you guys go to the banquet hall to rest. The guests are almost all here. Yushi and I have something to talk about, so it's just right for us to welcome the guests here."
The elders had already spoken, so even though Yuushi Ozuki was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to cooperate with a smile.
After entering the banquet hall, Jiang Nian took out the gift he had prepared for a long time from his bag and solemnly gave it to Kenya Oshima: "Happy birthday, cousin~."
After Kenye Oshitari received the beautifully packaged gift box, he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart, "My sister is really more gentle and lovely than her brother."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome," Jiang Nian continued. "Cousin, your major is dentistry. Here are the latest relevant papers and basic books I found. I hope you like them."
Ken'ya Oshitari: "..."
Under the gaze of everyone, Kenji Oshima once again showed an awkward fake smile: "I like it very much, thank you..."
After the meal started, the guests were either toasting each other or gathering in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing.
After Jiang Nian explained his idea to Kotoko Oshizuka and Nobuo Tanaka, he planned to have dinner with Yuuji Oshizuka.
Tanaka Ritsuihito has always been looking forward to and respecting the "sister" his parents refer to, especially when he sees his kindergarten friends showing off the snacks given by his sister.
When Jiang Nian followed Oshitari Yuushi to leave, Tanaka Ritsuhito quickly grabbed the corner of Jiang Nian's clothes and said, "Let's go together, let's go together."
Under the gaze of Kotoko Oshizuka and Nobuoshi Tanaka, Jiang Nian nodded and picked up Tanaka Ritsuhito, following closely behind Yuushi Oshizuka.
Ozuki Yuushi took the secretly proud Tanaka Ritsuhito from Jiang Nian's arms, ignoring the child's reluctance, and said to Jiang Nian: "He is almost 5 years old now, he doesn't need to be held."
After being taken over by Oshizuka Yuushi, Tanaka Ritsuhito stood on the ground, grabbed a few of Jiang Nian's fingers, and said in a sweet voice: "I want to be with my sister."
Her index finger was suddenly grabbed by her younger brother, whose height was only up to her thigh. The child's warm body temperature was transmitted from Jiang Nian's fingertips to her heart, and her heart suddenly became extremely soft.
Yuushi Oshizuka took Jiang Nian and Tanaka Ritsuhito to his friend, who was also Ken'ya Oshizuka's friend.
These people are Ken'ya Oshitari's good friends from high school and friends he knew in college.
Yuushi Ozuka introduced his friends to Jiang Nian, and then asked Jiang Nian to follow him to meet new friends.
The process of breaking the ice and getting to know new people broadened Jiang Nian's horizons, and he also made many new friends behind Yuushi Inuzaka.
Judging from their words and actions, most of them were well-dressed, gentle and polite people. Only Golden Xiaochun, who had a sweet voice and looked a little "old", left a deep impression on Jiang Nian.
After the greetings, Yuushi Oshizuka whispered in Jiang Nian's ear, "Is there anyone who wants to know more? I can help you."
Jiang Nian had reflected on himself before and had always wanted to apologize to Shiraishi Kuranosuke, but because of his social anxiety and not wanting to be laughed at by others, he never asked Ken Inuzaka for Shiraishi Kuranosuke's phone number.
"I want to talk to Shiraishi-kun, mainly to apologize to him."
Oshizuka Yuushi kindly took Jiang Nian to Bai Shi, patted Bai Shi Kuranosuke on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "My sister has something to tell you."
Then he pulled Jiang Nian behind him. Because Tanaka Ritsuhito was still holding Jiang Nian's hand, he was also pulled in front of Shiraishi Kuranosuke due to inertia.
With Yuushi Oshima beside him, Jiang Nian felt completely safe and apologized to Shiraishi Kuranosuke without hesitation: "I'm sorry, I didn't know the full story before and took my anger out on you. Now that I know the whole story, I understand that it was my cousin Kenye and my mother's good intentions."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke only felt that what happened that day was a bit awkward. He did not sense any ill will from Jiang Nian at the time, and he was looking at Jiang Nian from the perspective of his future girlfriend.
Although Jiang Nian is not a gentle, sweet, quiet and virtuous person, she is also quiet and virtuous even when she doesn't speak. Although her behavior is somewhat similar to that of Yukimura Seiichi, it does not prevent them from continuing to communicate and become friends.
"It's okay." Shiraishi Kuranosuke said, "Kenya, Yushi and I are friends. I hope we can be friends in the future."
…
Under Yuuji Oshitari's arrangement, Jiang Nian and Tanaka Rinjin ate quietly next to Golden Koharu, while Yuuji Oshitari entered the crowd and started chatting like an adult.
Tanaka Ritsuihito was extremely happy. It was the first time he was fed by his sister. Even if there were vegetables he didn't like, he ate them with a smile.
Golden Koharu is stroking Tanaka Ryuhito's cheek, admiring the child's delicate skin and soft and cute appearance.
Jiang Nian's love for his younger brother grew stronger when he heard Jin Se Xiaochun's sigh, and he couldn't help but knead Tanaka Ritu's arms, hands and face together with Jin Se Xiaochun.
"The child is so cute!" Jiang Nian couldn't help but sigh.
At Golden Xiaochun's request, the task of feeding the child was given to him.
From a distance, there was a warm atmosphere between the three of them.
After the banquet, Jiang Nian followed the adults to the old house of the Oshizuka family.
The old house of the Oshitari family is neither as quaint as the Sanada family nor as luxurious as the Atobe family. From a distance, it is not much different from other houses, except that it is larger and has more green plants.
This was the first time Jiang Nian came here since he grew up. In his impression, his grandfather was smart and capable, and sometimes participated in some medical projects; his grandmother was kind and gentle.
This time when I saw my grandparents again, they were still in good spirits, but they looked old.
Everyone knelt aside and chatted respectfully with the grandfather. Ozuchi Yuuji's father habitually poured tea for the two old men.
Finally, everyone left, leaving only Jiang Nian, Oshige Yuushi and Oshige Kenya, three younger generations, to listen to the elders' teachings.
