Everyone gave expensive gifts, such as designer ties representing adulthood, exquisite cufflinks, and handmade leather shoes. The most valuable gift was the Breguet watch given by Jiang Nian.
The watch, which costs nearly seven figures, looks understated yet luxurious, perfectly matching Lu Qingyao's usual image.
Jiang Nian took out the watch partly to show off, and partly to give a piece of advice to those who also liked Lu Qingyao and were itching to make a move.
She was determined to have Lu Qingyao; no one could take her away from him.
However, the watch was too valuable, and since they were still students, Lu Qingyao couldn't accept it.
"I just invited everyone here to have some fun today, nothing more. I won't accept any gifts or anything. The fun stuff is all over by the swimming pool, you guys go over there."
There are also students from impoverished families in the class who struggle to make ends meet, let alone have any spare money to buy gifts.
His words were immediately met with unanimous agreement.
Jiang Nian was not happy, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only put the gift away.
Yi Mu waited until everyone had left before taking out his birthday present.
Lu Qingyao was really looking forward to the surprise he had prepared, but the smile on his face froze when he saw the familiar yellow cover.
Five years of college entrance exams and three years of mock exams – this is the nightmare of countless college entrance exam takers.
Yi Mu's mischievous laughter made his handsome face glow with a lively radiance.
As Lu Qingyao watched, a thought struck her, and she couldn't help but reach out and put her arm around the back of his head.
The action was abrupt, at least in Yimu's view.
He was pulled closer to Lu Qingyao by that gentle force.
Even though he'd never eaten pork, he'd seen pigs run. Yi Mu reached out and pushed away Lu Qingyao's increasingly close face, hurriedly making an excuse to leave.
"I'm hungry, I'm going to get something to eat."
He shoved the workbook into Lu Qingyao's arms and ran off without looking back.
Lu Qingyao watched his retreating figure, a smile playing on her lips, but her eyes held a compelling determination to win.
Honey, it's time to make you face reality after letting you grow up so comfortably into your teens.
Lan Yu tiptoed away from the corner.
She was certain that she had seen correctly.
Lu Qingyao just now wanted to kiss Yi Mu.
He likes his good brother, while Yi Mu doesn't seem to realize that Lu Qingyao is interested in him.
Lan Yu's beautiful face was slightly distorted, looking quite ferocious in the dark.
She believed that she had met Lu Qingyao before Yi Mu did, and that he had been like a god who had given her a large sum of money and changed her impoverished life.
Years later, they had all grown up and had just changed schools when they ran into each other again. Lan Yu even recognized Lu Qingyao.
Lan Yu believed that this was a preordained fate, destined for her to have something happen with Lu Qingyao in this lifetime.
It's all because of Yi Mu, this stumbling block. If it weren't for him, Lu Qingyao wouldn't even bother to glance at her.
Lan Yu didn't even have the chance to tell Lu Qingyao that she was that little girl back then.
I thought today would be a good opportunity, but I never expected to witness this scene.
Regardless, Lu Qingyao was the one who saved her from dire straits; they were destined for each other, and she couldn't let Lu Qingyao be taken away by someone else.
Yi Mu was 70% certain that Lu Qingyao definitely had feelings for him.
His best friend, who's not blood-related but feels closer than blood-related, actually has feelings for him.
Yi Mu sat by the pool with a blank expression, his eyes vacant.
As Yiganlu passed by him, he couldn't resist giving him a nudge on the shoulder.
Iganlu deliberately slowed down his movements; under normal circumstances, he could have dodged it.
While Yi Mu was in a daze, he was caught off guard and fell into the pool with the force of Yi Ganlu's push.
Iganlu, who only wanted to tease Imu, was speechless.
Fortunately, Yi Mu could swim. After paddling for a while, he floated up, splashing water onto Yi Ganlu.
Are you fucking crazy?
Faced with the soaking wet Yi Mu, Yi Ganlu was speechless. His gaze fell on the two points on Yi Mu's chest, and his face turned bright red.
Yi Mu gave him a strange look, and after getting ashore, she went upstairs to Lu Qingyao's room as if she knew the way well.
