Chapter 795: Jian Yuncheng’s Birthday (1)

Jian Yuncheng coldly glared at Huo Yu before he said: “Go and hang it up in your office.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu was quite confused: “Why would I hang it in my office? This is your birthday gift from your cousin. It’s not for me.”

“Birthday,” Jian Yuncheng repeated.

“Oh my. Are you asking me for a birthday present?” Huo Yu teased.

However, there was no hint of amusement on Jian Yuncheng’s face.

When he realized that Jian Yuncheng’s expression was not right, Huo Yu hurriedly said: “Ahh, what do you want from me? We’ve been friends for so many years. I can get you anything that you want.”

“Three years ago, my sister gifted me a sweater and a scarf.”

“Oh, is it the black sweater that you always wear in winter? And the scarf that you treasure so much that you’re reluctant to wear?”

“Mhmm.”

“Then what did Yiling give you on your birthday last year and the year before?”

“She didn’t give me anything.”

In the past, Jian Yiling would give Jian Yuncheng’s birthday presents yearly. This started when she was very young.

Sometimes, she made small clay figures and other times it was an artwork that she herself had created. In fact, there was an occasion when she had given him candy that she saved up.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu was rather surprised: “Oh? She didn’t give you anything?”

Jian Yuncheng repeated: “Yeah, she didn’t.”

“Ahh, then she’s probably not going to give you anything this year either,” Huo Yu comforted Jian Yuncheng. “She’s growing up. Soon, she will only care for her boyfriend. Therefore, it’s normal for her to forget her brother’s birthday.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yu realized that Jian Yuncheng’s eyes appeared terrifyingly cold.

“Cough, cough, cough,” Huo Yu started again. He hurriedly said something else: “But I mean, Yiling’s quite different from everyone else. Maybe she’s just too busy with her studies.”

Then, Jian Yuncheng asked Huo Yu: “Then will she give me a gift this year?”

Huo Yu: “Er... About this...”

This question stumped Huo Yu. After all, how would he know whether Jian Yiling would prepare a gift for her brother?

He wasn’t part of the Jian family! He didn’t even manage to get Yiling to call him ‘Brother Yu’ yet!

“Then... Why don’t you... Why don’t you ask Yiling?” Huo Yu suggested cautiously.

If he said that Yiling was going to give him a gift and she didn’t end up giving one to Jian Yuncheng, where would he magic up a gift?

Jian Yuncheng coldly glanced at Huo Yu.

If he could ask her, why would he be here telling him about this?

“Then, then... Should I ask her?” Huo Yu asked tentatively.

“Okay.”

“Huh? Really?” Huo Yu blurted out.

“But don’t mention that I wanted to ask about it,” Jian Yuncheng added.

Huo Yu: “Ahh... I guess it’s okay... I will head over to her university later on then.”

Jian Yuncheng: “Remember to go to Lao Street to buy her the popular cake on the Internet.”

Huo Yu: “Lao Street? But that’s the complete opposite way! It will take me an hour to drive there!”

Jian Yuncheng: “You can have the afternoon off.”

Huo Yu was incredibly energized when he heard this: “Okay, okay! I will go there right away!”

Huo Yu was incredibly happy as soon as he heard that he did not have to work this afternoon. He turned around and went downstairs to pick up his car. Then, he drove towards Lao Street to buy the popular cake for Jian Yiling.

###

Jian Yiling saw Huo Yu as she was packing her things to leave university.

“Hey hey, sister Yiling~,” Huo Yu said as he had a cheeky smile on his face.

Jian Yiling looked at him suspiciously. It was as though she was asking him why he was here.

“Yiling~ This is a popular cake from Lao Street! Apparently, it’s very delicious. I drove an hour to pick it up for you! You should give it a try!”

Jian Yiling took a look at the cake box that Huo Yu was carrying in his hands. However, she was still confused.
