Chapter 26: Birthday

Just as Xu Zhengyang was about to lecture Xu Jiaojiao, he heard an exaggerated voice. "Wow, Xu Zhengyang, did you rob a bank?"

Xu Zhengyang glanced at Su Luo and rolled his eyes. "You\'re the one robbing a bank. Shut your mouth if you don\'t have anything nice to say."

Su Luo snorted, and her gaze fell on Xu Jiaojiao. "Jiaojiao, are you alright?"

Xu Jiaojiao nodded. "I\'m fine now."

Xu Zhengyang put on his sunglasses and waved at Su Luo. "Alright, I\'ll leave my sister to you. Goodbye!"

"Bye, don\'t come back." Su Luo rolled her eyes and turned her head away, too lazy to look at Xu Zhengyang.

Xu Zhengyang rubbed Xu Jiaojiao\'s head before getting into the car and leaving. When Su Luo saw him turning the steering wheel with one hand, she could not help but taunt him. "Your brother can\'t sit still if he doesn\'t show off for a day."

Xu Jiaojiao curved her lips. "Then, do you still like him?"

Su Lu instantly exploded. "Xu Jiaojiao! I told you not to mention that anymore!" When she first met Xu Zhengyang, she did not know about his personality. Su Lu was bewitched by his appearance. As a result, the longer she interacted with him, the more disillusioned she became. The fact that she liked Xu Zhengyang had also become part of her dark history.

Xu Jiaojiao chuckled. "Alright, let\'s not talk about it."

Su Luo took out a tube of ointment from her bag. "This is scar removal ointment. My relative works in a beauty salon, and I specially asked her for it. Remember to apply it every day."

"Okay." Xu Jiaojiao did not stand on ceremony with her and directly put the scar removal ointment into her pocket. As Su Luo followed her into the campus, she asked, "By the way, how do you plan to celebrate your birthday this year?"

"Huh?" Xu Jiaojiao was confused for a moment. Su Luo sighed and rubbed her head.

"I knew you\'d forget. The Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. Isn\'t it your birthday after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"It\'s still early." Xu Jiaojiao\'s birthday was in September, and it was only August.

"What do you mean, early? This is your 20th birthday. Is your family going to hold a banquet for you to celebrate?" Su Luo asked. In Luo City, a 20th birthday had to be celebrated grandly. It was similar to a coming-of-age ceremony.

"Grandma isn\'t feeling very well, so I don\'t want to make it too troublesome. When the day comes, we can just have a meal together as a family." Xu Jiaojiao was not interested in celebrating her birthday. When she was younger, she was more than happy when her grandmother cooked a few extra dishes for her birthdays.

"Alright." Su Luo thought for a moment. "Then I\'ll hold a big party for you to liven things up, so you won\'t have any regrets on your 20th birthday."

Xu Jiaojiao did not reply. Compared to her birthday, she remembered something more important.

That evening, Xu Jiaojiao was worried that Xu Zhengyang would show off that flashy car again, so she did not stay in the classroom for long. As soon as class ended, she packed her things and left to have hotpot with Su Luo.

By the time Xu Zhengyang called, Xu Jiaojiao was already sitting in the hotpot restaurant. As she ate, she said, "Brother, you work hard at the office, so you really don\'t pick me up anymore. Mr. Qi has arranged a driver for me."

Although Xu Zhengyang had made a wasted trip, he was not angry. He said leisurely, "Sure, then. Qi Shenbai has money anyway. It would be a waste not to spend it."

"…"

It was almost nine o\'clock by the time Xu Jiaojiao and Su Luo finished eating their hotpot. When Cang Xing brought her back to Qingshui Villa, Qi Shenbai was still not back. She could not help but ask the butler about him. The smart butler quickly replied, "Is something the matter, Miss Xu? If it\'s urgent, I can call and ask the master."

"No, no." Xu Jiaojiao did not want to disturb Qi Shenbai, so she waved her hand and went upstairs. Anyway, there were still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. She would find an opportunity to mention it later.

When Qi Shenbai returned to Qingshui Villa, it was almost eleven o\'clock. The butler took his coat and told Qi Shenbai about Xu Jiaojiao\'s behavior that night. Afraid that Qi Shenbai would not understand, he deliberately explained, "Judging from Miss Xu\'s expression, it seems like she has something to say."

Qi Shenbai nodded and walked upstairs. He originally wanted to go back to his room to rest, but when he passed by Xu Jiaojiao\'s room, he realized that the bottom of her door was still lit. It was already so late, so why wasn\'t she sleeping yet? Just as Qi Shenbai was wondering if he should ask tomorrow, his hand knocked on the door.

"Come in." Xu Jiaojiao\'s voice came from inside.

Qi Shenbai pushed the door open and saw Xu Jiaojiao sitting on the sofa with an iPad and a capacitor pen in her hand. "Why aren\'t you asleep yet?"

Xu Jiaojiao placed the iPad on the coffee table and replied, "I\'m not sleepy yet. I just wanted to draw for a while."
