Chapter 513 – Birthday Invite

In a blink of eye, there were only two more weeks until summer break.

In other words, there was the same amount of time left before the finals.

Other than the politics exam on July 5 which was an open-book exam, I have to make sure to not get careless on the other exams. My dad didn’t really have any requirements for my grades, but I always felt I should at least reach the minimum standards.

The only exception was English where my scores were usually in the single digits. I wouldn’t be able to create a miracle no matter how hard I tried hard.

The students also communicated less as we entered the cramming period for the finals, but since 28 Middle was chosen as the examination site for the high school entry exams, we were able to get a rare break during that time.

Although the high school entry exams meant the basketball team’s captain Guo SongTao will graduate, but on the bright side, we were given three days of vacation from June 25 to June 27.

But although we can be rest for three days from June 25 ~ June 27, we have two attend two days of classes on the weekend on the 29th and 30th. It’s still not that bad since some schools will have classes on two consecutive weekends, which meant that you actually had to attend an extra day even after given a three day break.

By the way, I just learned that Gong CaiCai’s birthday is on June 26th.

That day is also the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, International Charter Day, and the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. I always felt that God let Gong CaiCai be born on this day because there’s some kind of hidden meaning of protecting the weak.

On Monday, June 24, Gong CaiCai sheepishly invited the class leader to attend her small-scale birthday party the day after tomorrow.

“Because, because my parents left for Hainan for business matters, I was given permission to invite some of my classmates to come and spend my birthday with me, but I can only invite a maximum of five people... class leader, can you come?”

“Of course I’ll go.” Although it was close to the finals, the class leader still agreed, and she looked very excited, “I still haven’t felt the white rabbit enough the the last time I went to your house.”

“The rabbit...” Gong CaiCai apologized and lowered her head at the class president, “My parents didn’t let me keep it, so I’ve already passed it on to my aunt to take care of it, I’m sorry to disappoint you...”

Are they talking about the rabbit they got on the pedestrian bridge? If it was touched by the class leader, it must have been shivering with fear. It might still have nightmares of the class leader’s hunter aura while living at Gong CaiCai’s aunt’s place.

Since Gong CaiCai’s parent set a limit of five people and Gong Cai Cai was very obedient, choosing five became a very difficult task. After careful considerations, she invited the class leader, Loud Mouth, Little Smart, Xiong YaoYue, and another unknown person.

Originally, Gong CaiCai only planned to invite the class leader, Loud Mouth, and Little Smart, because those three were the ones who bullied her the least in class 2-3. The other girls either cause trouble for her because of jealousy (like Xiao Qin) or take advantage of her because she’s a weakling. As for inviting a boy, she never even considered it.

Even though Gong CaiCai instructed them to keep it a secret, Xiong YaoYue still heard about it from Loud Mouth. She immediately went to Gong CaiCai and questioned why she wasn’t invited to the birthday party.

“Is it because I eat too much? Loud Mouth eats way more than me. Invite me, I’ll bring a cake.”

Loud Mouth came up from behind, “You always bully Cai Cai, so it’s normal for her to not invite you.”

Xiong YaoYue got anxious, “I... it’s because Cai Cai is too cute, I can’t help but bully her. I still consider Cai Cai as a good friend, if she doesn’t invite me, my heart will break. From then on I’ll become an emotionless zombie running continuously around the track.

A zombie who really likes exercise?

Gong CaiCai loosened up a bit after Xiong YaoYue begged her.

“If you stop bullying me until the final exam, I... I’ll let you attend my party...”

“Hip hip hooray.” Xiong YaoYue jumped three feet in the air to celebrate, she landed then suddenly asked mysteriously.

“Cai Cai, I heard that you can invite a total of 5 people, did you pick someone for the last spot?”

“No... I can’t think of anyone else, it will just be the four... “

The class leader glanced at Xiao Qin’s empty seat like she wanted to invite Xiao Qin, but it was Gong CaiCai’s birthday, so she shouldn’t overstep her bounds. They can’t just invite another person to participate simply to fill the quota of 5 people. Plus, Xiao Qin took off early in the morning because of menstrual cramps, so she might not even get better before the day after tomorrow.

Xiong YaoYue, however, didn’t have as many inhibitions as the class leader and she cheerfully suggested.

“I have a new good friend I made, can I bring them along to Cai Cai’s birthday? I really hope you guys get to know each other ah, because you’re both cute..”

Gong CaiCai asked awkwardly, “Is... she also a girl?”

“Yeah.” Xiong YaoYue two eyes flashed with anticipation, “I won’t bring any boys to Cai Cai’s to cause trouble, I’m bringing a cute girl.”

“Then, in that case, you can bring her...” Gong CaiCai feebly agreed.

“Thank you, you won’t be disappointed..” Xiong YaoYue once again made a celebratory “hooray” gesture.

“Wait.” The class leader stopped them, “Cai Cai is the host, so what if you brought someone who doesn’t match her personality. Your birthday only comes once a year, but if it becomes unpleasant...”

Before the class leader finished speak, Xiong YaoYue whispered something into her ear. The class leader blushed a little then quickly changed her stance:

“Another person is fine, the more the merrier. Maybe we can even become good friends hahaha...”

What a suspicious laugh, who’s the person Xiong YaoYue wants to bring that made the class leader instantly change her opinion? She blushed in the same manner as when she sees a cute animal.

I don’t care, it has nothing to do with me anyway. Gong CaiCai definitely doesn’t have the guts to invite boys to her house and now the quota of 5 people is already full. I’ll just leisurely enjoy my three day vacation.

On the afternoon of the 26th, I received a message from Ai Mi saying she was going to attend a ‘civilian event’ and asked me to accompany her. Peng TouSi was the one who drove her outside my home.

I sat in the back with her full of doubts.

“Manservant, when we get there you can’t speak out of place, look at me before acting, understand?”

Ai Mi crossed her legs, her rainbow socks looked like it came out of a fairy tale world. The bowknot used to her double ponytails was also extremely cute.

“What exactly is the civilian event?” I questioned, “Some sort of community warmth event?”

“It’s not a big deal.” Ai Mi squinted one eye, yawned, and pretended to be disinterested and said, “I was invited by Winnie to go to a commoner’s birthday party people. I was bored today anyway...”

historical

Huh, isn’t that Gong CaiCai’s birthday party? So the “good friend” Xiong YaoYue was going to bring is you! The class leader treated you like a cute animal the last time she saw you at Henderson Mall and kept on trying to pet you. So that’s why the class leader changed her mind, it’s because she really wants to pat your golden hair.

Then wouldn’t I be the sixth person? I’m also a boy, so Gong CaiCai will be worried about being scolded by her parents, even though one more person isn’t a big deal...

“Why should I accompany you?” I suddenly felt it would be a bit awkward if I was the only boy with six other girls.

“It’s because I need to have a bodyguard.” Ai Mi said in a serious tone, “Winnie can’t even beat a kangaroo, so her fighting ability still needs to be improved before she could be considered a competent bodyguard. If I don’t take you with me, then I have to take Peng TouSi.”

Then you would rather take me. Peng TouSi, who looks like King Kong, would look even more out of place among middle school girls.

In addition, if the qualification test to become Ai Mi’s bodyguard was to beat a kangaroo with bare hands, then I’m afraid not many people would be able to pass. If you’re that focused on a kangaroo, why not just hire a kangaroo as a bodyguard?

I suddenly remembered I still don’t know my sister’s birthday.

“By the way, Ai Mi, when’s your birthday? Winnie and I will come to celebrate when the time comes.”

Ai Mi shivered for some reason, then spoke while looking out the window, “I don’t like celebrating birthdays, it’s noisy. Only commoners celebrate their birthdays like a holiday.”

No way. If you’re dressed so beautifully, it means you definitely value the birthday party. Or are you extremely excited and curious because you’ve never been invited to a commoner’s birthday party?

Peng TouSi, who was driving silently, said with a laugh, “The Miss isn’t too fond of her birthday because it’s the anniversary of Leslie Cheung’s death, it’s a bit unlucky....”

I’m not surprised a gay person like Peng TouSi knows Leslie Cheung, but I don’t think Ai Mi would know Leslie Cheung. But the day Leslie Cheung jumped off a building was April 1 or April Fool’s Day. That means Ai Mi’s birthday happens to be the same day as April Fool’s Day, what a tragedy. Even if she sincerely invited others to attend her birthday party, they will probably take it as a lie.

“Peng TouSi, shut up, do you want to die.”

Ai Mi viciously stopped all conversation about her birthday.

After driving in the fast lane for a while, the car stopped in front of a ten-story apartment building. When you looked up, the dark blue glass walls reflected the sun’s rays, so people couldn’t look straight at it. Gong CaiCai really does live in a very luxurious place.

Before I could open the car door, Xiong YaoYue ran out to welcome us, but she was obviously stunned when she saw me.

“Eh, you’re here too?” Xiong YaoYue scratched her head and frowned, “I told Cai Cai that I would only bring one friend over and didn’t count you, so wouldn’t that be one more person?”

Ai Mi said with some dissatisfaction, “The manservant is my bodyguard, so he doesn’t count as a person.”

“Oh, that’s right.” Xiong YaoYue easily accepted it, “Then let’s hurry up, the class leader has already started to prepare dinner. As the two ‘food gods’ we can’t miss the opportunity to show off our skills.”

Hey, you should at least hesitate a little bit, why do I not count as a person? This is discrimination against bodyguards!

And please, you two should have some self-awareness. If we let you prepare dinner, then everyone will get poisoned and bleed to death.
