Birthday Battle 02

Led by Xie Yuling, they walked toward Lin Mo's house.

However, little did they know that the moment they approached, Lin Mo had already noticed them.

Moreover, with a quick sweep of his divine sense, Lin Mo knew exactly what the three of them were here for.

"So, having divine sense isn't always a good thing. It completely ruins the surprise."

He stood up and knocked on Ning Qingcheng's door.

"Hey, we have guests coming today, so get dressed. And when outsiders are around, don't call me senior brother."

"Okay, cousin! I got it, cousin!"

Ning Qingcheng immediately changed into a set of casual clothes.

A few days ago, Ning Qingcheng and Xie Yuling had gone shopping alone and bought some clothes.

Thus, Ning Qingcheng also knew that Xie Yuling was coming over today to celebrate Lin Mo's birthday, and she had prepared for it in advance.

Just as she walked out of her room, someone knocked on the front door of Lin Mo's house.

"Go get the door."

Lin Mo had already started brewing tea.

"Okay!"

Ning Qingcheng skipped to the entrance and pulled open the heavy wooden door, revealing a slender and graceful figure standing quietly outside the iron gate.

It was a very beautiful older sister.

Outside the iron gate, Jiang Yunlu was also stunned.

After knocking for so long, why was it a little girl who came out?

"Hello, is this Lin Mo's house?" she asked tentatively, a trace of uncertainty in her voice.

Ning Qingcheng's gaze didn't linger on her, but instead bypassed her and landed accurately on the familiar figure behind her.

She instantly understood and nodded.

"Yes, this is Lin Mo's house."

Saying that, Ning Qingcheng swiftly pulled the iron gate open. With the door fully wide, the three young women—each with a different style but all equally beautiful—came into her unobstructed view.

She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Lin Mo, who was unhurriedly brewing tea in the living room.

Heh.

It turned out that her seemingly decent senior brother was actually an absolute scumbag behind the scenes!

He already had such a good girl like Sister Yuling, yet he was still fooling around! Three-timing, was he not afraid the boats would capsize and drown him?

Despite her internal grumbling, Ning Qingcheng still wore a polite smile on her face. She stepped aside to make room: "Please come in, you three."

Jiang Yunlu harbored ten thousand questions in her heart, but right now, she just wanted to see what Lin Mo's house looked like.

The moment she stepped into the house, she heard the little girl call out crisply.

"Hello, Sister Yuling."

Jiang Yunlu's footsteps paused imperceptibly.

Xie Yuling!

Well played, Xie Yuling. You really were hiding things and didn't tell us the whole truth!

Acting as if she hadn't seen Jiang Yunlu's instantly changing expression, Xie Yuling smiled and stepped forward, familiarly rubbing Ning Qingcheng's hair. Her actions were intimate and natural.

"Qingcheng, let me introduce you."

Her voice was gentle. "These two are your cousin's classmates. This is Chu Miaomiao, and this is Jiang Yunlu."

Chu Miaomiao, who had been holding a cake box and carrying a cat backpack, greeted Ning Qingcheng softly with some restraint.

"H-hello, I'm Chu Miaomiao."

Jiang Yunlu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and pulled the corners of her mouth into a slightly stiff arc: "Hello, I'm Lin Mo's desk mate, Jiang Yunlu."

Ning Qingcheng straightened her small back gracefully and introduced herself: "Hello to you both, I am Lin Mo's cousin, my name is Ning Qingcheng."

Whether it was an illusion or not, Jiang Yunlu felt that this little girl had an indescribable air of nobility about her, and her every movement revealed an excellent upbringing.

Moreover, the surname Ning was quite rare.

Xie Yuling acted as if she didn't see the undercurrents surging between the two of them, and added with a smile. Her voice was not loud, but every word fell clearly into everyone's ears:

"Qingcheng will be transferring to a middle school near our school next semester, and from then on, just like Lin Mo, she will be living at my house."

Living... at her house?

This was no longer a hint; this was naked flaunting!

Jiang Yunlu instantly understood Xie Yuling's meaning. She was telling her that even Lin Mo's family was on her side!

Even the future sister-in-law had become her person!

Jiang Yunlu's thoughts spun rapidly. Then, as if she had thought of something, she raised her wrist, took off an exquisite platinum bracelet, and handed it to Ning Qingcheng without a word of explanation.

"Meeting for the first time, your big sister didn't prepare any gifts. Just take this as a meeting present."

Ning Qingcheng just glanced at it and blurted out: "Isn't this the classic twelve-year model from Tifufu?"

She was from the Ning family, after all. Before awakening her abilities, she had been cultivated as a future business elite. She still had this bit of discernment.

After all, having a good eye was also one of the areas of her cultivation.

Jiang Yunlu was a bit surprised, not expecting a half-grown child to actually recognize this brand.

However, she didn't think much of it, assuming the little girl just liked reading fashion magazines and happened to recognize it.

She directly pulled Ning Qingcheng's hand over and, brooking no refusal, clasped the bracelet onto her fair wrist. The size was adjustable, so it fit perfectly.

"It's just a small bracelet. Wear it for fun, little sister. You're not allowed to dislike it."

Ning Qingcheng looked down at the gleaming chain on her wrist, then looked up at Jiang Yunlu's determined eyes, and understood perfectly in her heart.

This sister's feelings for her senior brother were practically written all over her face.

Ning Qingcheng could tell at a glance that this woman really liked her senior brother.

Sigh.

Senior brother, oh senior brother, you really are a deeply sinful man.

Just as the atmosphere in the living room became delicate, Lin Mo walked out unhurriedly carrying a tea set. Seeing the few of them blocking the doorway, he found it somewhat amusing: "Why are you all standing around? Come in and sit down."

Chu Miaomiao finally found an opportunity. She quickly bent down and unzipped the cat backpack.

Hajimi nimbly squeezed out. It first rubbed affectionately around Chu Miaomiao's ankles a few times, emitting a purring sound from its throat.

The next second, as if it sensed something, it jerked its head up. Those orange cat eyes instantly locked onto Lin Mo, who was holding the tea tray.

"Meow!"

Hajimi kicked off with its hind legs, turning into a bolt of white lightning, and lunged straight toward Lin Mo!

Using the height of the sofa, it leaped up and jumped directly onto Lin Mo's shoulder.

It just hugged Lin Mo's arm like that, rubbing against him non-stop.

Xie Yuling carefully observed this clever orange cat, confirming that it was not a cat from a cat cafe.

If it were, Xie Yuling would be very sad.

And Jiang Yunlu also really wanted to pet the little kitty.

Only Lin Mo and Chu Miaomiao knew one thing: Hajimi and Chu Miaomiao were connected in mind and heart. Therefore, the cat's hug was actually Chu Miaomiao's hug.

Lin Mo set down the cups, scooped up the cat, and rubbed it in his arms.

"Sit down and have some tea."

Hearing this, the three girls all sat down obediently and drank tea together.

This well-behaved appearance was quite baffling.

However, Xie Yuling had confidence; after all, she had already explored Lin Mo's room.

As for Chu Miaomiao, her attention was entirely on Hajimi.

And Jiang Yunlu was simply cowardly.
