"I like you."
"I'm sorry, I was just joking."
——Helan Minzhi

As she flipped through the pages, she murmured, "Wow, Helan Ruizhe, you understand me so well."
“I just want to learn Western cuisine.”
Seeing that she was very happy, Helan Ruizhe also smiled, "Then you have to give it to me when you make it, otherwise I will give you such a treasure for nothing."
Jin Suting really couldn't put this plain-looking book down. She flipped through the pages for a while, then looked at Helan Ruizhe and asked, "Do you believe in horoscopes?"
He thought Jin Suting was talking about the stars. He only had some knowledge about this, but it was not comprehensive. However, the stars were just the stars seen in different directions in the sky. "Why do you believe it?"
Jin Suting couldn't tell him at first glance what astrology was. She used to love studying it, memorizing the dates and personalities of each sign by heart. "It's an art form. The year and month of your birth can determine your sign. And each sign has its own unique personality. For example, I'm a Gemini, so I'm rather quirky... It seems strange to call myself quirky. Uh, I tend to have a dual personality."
"You're a Scorpio, but I don't think you look like one at all. Books all say Scorpios are overbearing, possessive, suspicious, and vindictive. But you look like a Gemini. One moment you're as calm as my bald elementary school Chinese teacher, and the next moment you're so out of touch I don't even recognize you. Which of us, do you think, looks more like a Gemini?"
Helan Ruizhe listened for a long time and then said calmly, "How could there be such a wonderful thing in the world? Where did you learn it? Can you show it to me?"
What a good kid with a strong thirst for knowledge...
Jin Suting had been bullied by his teacher for so many days. Since he wanted to learn, she could become his teacher. "Well, the book is out of print."
Seeing Helan Ruizhe's lost look, Jin Suting changed the subject: "But I have memorized all the knowledge. If you want to learn, you have to take me as your teacher."
It is not difficult to see that Jin Suting had a "smug" look on her face. Just when she was waiting for Helan Ruizhe to take the bait, she suddenly said that she didn't want to learn anymore.
"Why not learn it? It's very useful! You see, if you know a person's zodiac sign, you can guess their behavior. How convenient!"
Helan Ruizhe: "If I learn to be like you, then I'd better not learn it."
Jin Suting: "..."
He is addicted to arguing with people today. Jin Suting is in tears because she is the birthday girl today.
After waiting for a long time until night, she cooked a large table of dishes herself, and the guests she invited arrived one after another.
Jin Suting set up a large table in Suxuan Courtyard, covered it with a beautiful tablecloth, placed it with flowers, and lit candles. There were also many candles placed in small areas on the small steps and around Suxuan Courtyard.
I originally planned to hold a birthday party with a party atmosphere, but the wind was very strong at night and God was not kind to me today.
Helan Ruizhe suggested leaving only the candles on the table, covering them with lampshades, and putting away the candles elsewhere.
Shi Qingmiao was the first to arrive. She did not come alone, but brought Si Shuo with her.
This regent was extremely thick-skinned. Although Jin Suting was not very familiar with him, he still had to greet her with a smile for Shi Qingmiao.
Shi Qingmiao looked at the table full of flowers and praised Jin Suting exaggeratedly: "Sister Su, these flowers are so beautiful! They smell so good!"
The food will be even more delicious when it is served.
Jin Suting brought some snacks to fill their stomachs, and Shi Qingmiao took out the gifts she had prepared early.
"Sister Su, guess what it is!" Shi Qingmiao put a flat box in front of Jin Suting like a little girl.
"Clothes?" Jin Suting guessed it almost right as soon as she saw the specifications.
"Ah, how did you guess it so quickly? Boring." Shi Qingmiao's lost look made Jin Suting laugh.
"Then guess this, you definitely can't guess this!" Shi Qingmiao snatched Si Shuo's gift and held it in front of her.
Jin Suting glanced at Si Shuo, then at the small wooden box. She leaned in and sniffed it, smelling a faint medicinal aroma. "It's Ganoderma lucidum."
Shi Qingmiao was frightened, "Sister Su! Do you have X-ray vision?!"
Si Shuo added, "This Ganoderma lucidum has a stronger flavor."
Shi Qingmiao was unconvinced and took out another small box. "This is what the Queen Mother asked me to bring you. You will never guess this!"
Why do you have to guess?
Jin Suting really felt that this little girl was extremely willful, yet very cute.
The small silver box that caught my eye was very cute, with a red gem inlaid in the middle. Its luster was not very clear at night, but its presence was very strong.
The box is engraved with delicate dragon patterns all over, and it looks like it is not cheap.
But this box is neither too big nor too small, not big enough to hold the bracelet and too short to hold the hairpin.
"You are not allowed to smell it this time!" Shi Qingmiao was afraid that she would cheat, so she reminded her anxiously.
She wanted to smell it, but there was no smell at all.
Now she really couldn't guess what it was.
Shaking his head, Shi Qingmiao said mysteriously, "Open it and take a look."
In fact, she didn't know what was inside, and she was just as curious.
"What are you doing here?" Helan Ruizhe came out of the kitchen. Jin Suting had just asked him to cut the carrots into shreds. As soon as he finished cutting, he saw several people gathered around a small object.
"Brother!" Shi Qingmiao called out in surprise, and Si Shuo nodded as a greeting.
