But thinking about it again, even if she came from a small family, hers was still a hundred times better than Gu Lingyin’s. Gu Lingyin slowly clenched her fists on her lap. In this life, she hated her background the most. If she had come from an elite family, like Shangguan Yu, she would have been born with nothing to worry about. She would definitely not be like this.
Fu Siye returned after a while.
“What did you do? Why did you take so long to come back?” Gu Lingyin asked after he had sat down.
“I smoked,” Fu Siye said lightly.
Gu Lingyin wanted to say something else.
“Old Fu, you don’t even have a birthday cake on your birthday?” Gong Zeye looked at Fu Siye.
“I don’t like cake,” Fu Siye said.
Jin Chen said, “In the past, whenever it was your birthday, you would always monopolize the cake made by Xiao Yu and not even give me a bite. Was I blind? Was I dreaming? Or do you have a twin brother that I don’t know?”
Fu Siye: “…”
“I’m very sure that he doesn’t have a twin brother. He probably just has a split personality,” Meng Lichuan said.
Gong Zeye: “Woah, Old Fu, you’re so fashionable even when you’re sick, and you even have a split personality disorder! I’m so envious of you!”
Fu Siye: “…”
Haven’t they heard that the birthday boy is the star of the show?!
Mu Huan looked over. “No matter what illness it is, it has to be treated. I have medicine here. Do you want it?”
Fu Siye: “…”
Why did he invite them to celebrate his birthday?
Brother Bo was the best. He would never kick someone when they were down.
Then, he realized that his Brother Bo was not in the mood to look at him at all. He was looking at his sister-in-law the entire time and would pay attention to her needs from time to time. Just as she was about to drink the fruit juice, the fruit juice was delivered to her mouth. Just as she was about to eat something, something was delivered to her mouth. He was simply more thoughtful than if he was serving an emperor.
His lips twitched.
Brother Bo probably didn’t hear what they were saying, right?
Why was he here to attend his birthday? His heart wasn’t even in it! He might as well not have come!
Just as he was thinking this…
Bo Junyan stood up and said, “It’s about time. We’ll go back first. Have fun.”
With that, he picked Mu Huan up and was about to leave.
Fu Siye: “…”
Before the dishes were even served, he’d had enough…
“Brother Bo, you’re really impatient!” Gong Zeye said.
“Yes.”
Mu Huan: “…”
He would agree to whatever they said.
Friday at the West Mountain Forest Reserve…
Yun University’s pharmaceutical faculty taught both Chinese and Western medicine. Today was an extracurricular lesson. The professor asked the students to search all over the West Mountain for Chinese medicine with the best effects in the early winter. He wanted to see who could dig up the most medicine.
To put it simply, this was how herb-picking was done in the past.
The West Mountain was a treasure. In the past, people from Yun Cheng would not only hunt here, but they would also pick herbs and use the hot springs.
The teacher had stated that there would be three people in a team.
Before anyone else could choose to be in the same group as Mu Huan, Li Meng and Long Feiting stood beside her.
Everyone: “…”
Alright, in terms of history, no one could compete with Li Meng. In terms of power, no one could compete with Long Feiting, so the rest could forget about it.
“You’ll be in charge of searching, and I’ll be in charge of digging. It won’t be tiring for us to work as a couple.” Long Feiting reached out for Mu Huan’s small basket and shovel.
Li Meng: “…”
Did he forget about her existence?
She was still alive!
Mu Huan rolled her eyes at Long Feiting silently.
As most of the students were digging nearby, they would not be able to find anything even if they stayed here. Hence, Mu Huan led the two of them deeper into the forest.
