Xu Zhishan, who is very good at acting cute in front of elders, made the atmosphere even more lively with her appearance.

She feigned anger, but her words, though cute, made many people around her burst into laughter.

Ou Hongxin, in particular, looked at Xu Zhishan with even more affection and joy than at his own grandson Ou Jinghuan, and his smile never stopped.

"Sugar glider?"

Li Chuyue, who was standing nearby, heard Grandpa Ou Jinghuan call Xu Zhishan a sugar glider. She looked at Xu Zhishan with a curious expression and asked.

Seeing this, Xu Zhishan immediately felt embarrassed and explained helplessly:

"Hey! That's the nickname Grandpa Ou gave me..."

Because I was always clinging to my older cousin when I was little, Grandpa Ou saw this and laughed, saying I looked like a little sugar glider flying around...

Upon hearing this, Li Chuyue quickly imagined how clingy Xu Zhishan would be as soon as she saw Ou Jinghuan, running over to him like a shot.

She thought Xu Zhishan must have been very cute when she was little, otherwise Grandpa Ou Jinghuan wouldn't have shown such affection for her.

She knew about sugar gliders; they are very dependent on and clingy to their owners, which explains why Grandpa Ou gave them that name.

However, when Li Chuyue recalled the days she spent with Ou Jinghuan, apart from the very beginning, she rarely saw Xu Zhishan being particularly clingy to Ou Jinghuan.

In the days that followed, Xu Zhishan became particularly clingy to her, to the point that Ou Jinghuan became jealous, which made her unable to help but laugh.

Speaking of sugar gliders, she heard that if sugar gliders feel bored or neglected by their owners, they may engage in self-harm or suicide.

Thinking of Xu Zhishan, who had been in a low mood recently, Li Chuyue, who had originally intended to tease Xu Zhishan with a smile, suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.

It turns out that Xu Zhishan's current lack of clinginess to Ou Jinghuan isn't because she's grown up and become independent, but rather because she wants to choose a different "master" to cling to.

However, Ou Jinghuan, who is jealous, will not let Xu Zhishan cling to her too much, which makes the sugar glider, which is already prone to feeling lonely, get ignored.

Looking at the pitiful Shan Shan, who must have been feeling quite unwell lately, Li Chuyue gently stroked Xu Zhishan's head and whispered:

"I can imagine how cute you were when you were little, hahaha."

Sugar glider Shanshan, you can stick to me anytime, and I love it when you stick to me~

Even if another sugar glider appears in your life later, and you become dependent on each other.

I can also take your cousin Jinghuan's place and become your 'master' who will never neglect you and loves you~

Li Chuyue's stroking movements and expressions were exceptionally gentle, as if she were truly and carefully stroking her adorable but injured sugar glider.

When Xu Zhishan heard Li Chuyue mimicking Grandpa Ou's nickname "Honey Squirrel Shanshan," she thought Li Chuyue was also trying to tease her.

But just as she was about to continue pretending to be angry, she was stunned when she heard what Li Chuyue said next.

The more she listened, the more moved she became. She stopped pretending to be angry and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Xu Zhishan was surprised that Li Chuyue understood her so well and said such touching words.

She never expected that Li Chuyue would discover that it wasn't easy for her to stop clinging to Ou Jinghuan.

After all, she had always followed behind her cousin since she could remember.

Especially after Xu Zhishan had no friends and was isolated by her classmates, the only person she could truly rely on was her cousin whom she admired.

So when Li Chuyue came into Ou Jinghuan's life, although she was happy for her cousin and good friend, she was also surrounded by a feeling of unease.

To prove that she wasn't the clingy child she used to be, and also to give Chuyue and her cousin some space, she endured this sudden loneliness.

But last night, the other person she wanted to rely on, Su Chenyi, completely released the loneliness that had been building up in her heart, making her feel very helpless.

This is one of the reasons why Xu Zhishan broke down last night and is still somewhat listless.

At this moment, the vulnerable and painful parts of her heart seemed to be healed under Li Chuyue's comforting words.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, the glistening tears seeming to brighten her confused and dull eyes.

Li Chuyue opened the window to Xu Zhishan's soul, and the bitterness she had been suppressing for so long almost dissipated.

Finally, she forced herself not to shed tears at Grandpa Ou's birthday banquet, and forced a bright, happy smile, saying joyfully:

"Waaaaah... Chu Yue, you're the best!"

He's even better than my aloof, sarcastic, and annoying cousin!

When Xu Zhishan said the last sentence, she still had a look of disgust and grievance on her face, glancing sideways at Ou Jinghuan, genuinely complaining.

Although Li Chuyue had not personally experienced it, many people said that Ou Jinghuan gave off a cold feeling.

But she had seen how Ou Jinghuan treated people he didn't like; even those he knew well, he wasn't very close to them.

Therefore, she understood Xu Zhishan's grievances, and she also glared at Ou Jinghuan, who had upset her sister, and echoed:

"That's right! He's annoying! We'll ignore him from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Ou Jinghuan, who had been standing quietly to the side with a calm expression, immediately looked over.

"Huh?" He looked bewildered, frowned, and asked in confusion.

"..." Just like she had said to Xu Zhishan earlier, Li Chuyue pretended not to understand Ou Jinghuan's words.

Seeing Ou Jinghuan's even more bewildered expression, Xu Zhishan felt a sense of relief and even burst out laughing.

"..." Ou Jinghuan looked at Xu Zhishan, whose eyes were wet with tears, and mocked him. He gave her a deep look but said nothing.

Finally, he shook his head helplessly, then watched with fondness as Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan teamed up to target him.

At this moment, Ou Hongxin could tell from the interaction between Xu Zhishan and Li Chuyue that the two had a really good relationship.

He could also tell that Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend was sincere in her feelings and that she was at least a good person.

Then, with a smile, he looked at the completely subdued Ou Jinghuan and said in a deep voice:

"I heard that you prepared a birthday gift that will satisfy me this time, Jinghuan. My curiosity has been piqued."

"Sang Hai, bring up Jing Huan's gift."

After Ou Hongxin finished speaking, the butler who had been standing straight next to him immediately took out the gift and prepared to place it in front of Ou Hongxin.

Ou Jinghuan first glanced at Li Chuyue, then looked at the butler with a smile and reminded him:

"Uncle Sanghai, please be careful."

"My girlfriend spent tens of millions of yuan of her own money to buy this gift for my father."

Upon hearing this, the usually expressionless and impeccable butler was taken aback.

However, he quickly understood what Young Master Ou meant, swiftly put down the gift, returned to his original position, and smiled.

Ou Hongxin quickly understood Ou Jinghuan's intention: to help his girlfriend gain credit and show off to everyone.

Sure enough, as soon as Ou Jinghuan finished speaking, the people around him exclaimed in surprise, and even Xu Zhishan opened her mouth wide.
