After silently sorting through his thoughts.
Ling Wuyuan looked at Yan Xiujin, who was still hanging from his neck like a large human accessory.
A faint, incomparably gentle smile appeared on the face that was usually almost expressionless.
"Although your Sixth Senior Sister already congratulated me through the [Gray Mist Imprint]..."
"If we're only talking about reality, then you really are the first person to wish me a happy birthday this time..."
After saying that.
Ling Wuyuan paused slightly before continuing:
"Thank you very much~"
Hearing this, Yan Xiujin, feeling deeply proud of having seized first place, grinned and waved her hands repeatedly.
"Hehe~"
"No need to thank me~"
"Just make a few more dishes I like later to reward me~"
Yes, even though it was Ling Wuyuan's birthday today.
The food-loving Yan Xiujin.
Still wanted Ling Wuyuan to offer her delicious food.
Ling Wuyuan did not refuse such a request.
"Alright."
"I'll make a hundred dishes later~"
Amid her delight, Yan Xiujin could not help but mutter:
"Why make so many dishes?"
"Are you raising a pig?"
In response to that question.
After giving her a slight once-over, Ling Wuyuan answered noncommittally, "Perhaps you could understand it that way."
The implication behind his words.
Made Yan Xiujin fly into a rage. Without another word, she opened her mouth and bit the back of his neck...
In the end.
After they had roughhoused for a while.
Faced with the gazes of passersby gradually drawn over within the Library Pavilion, Yan Xiujin coughed twice, her face slightly red as she said to Ling Wuyuan:
"Let's go!!"
"While Sixth Senior Sister and the others are still busy, let's go shopping first!!"
Ling Wuyuan answered indifferently, "Alright~"
With that said.
Having already risen from his chair, he immediately wanted to turn around and
