Mu Xue and Mu Xue

The next day came. Today was Monday and Lin Mo didn't have to go to class. Today was also Mu Xue's birthday. Lin Mo thought that he should take Mu Xue out for a big meal today. The two of them didn't have any close friends here, so they didn't plan to hold a birthday party or invite many people.

Mu Xue got up very early today. Last night, she heard Lin Mo say that today was her birthday. It was her first birthday since she was a child. Today was her fifth birthday! It was the first time in five years, the first time in her life!

Mu Xue was extremely excited and couldn't wait to start this special day. She gently pushed open the door and tiptoed to Lin Mo's bed. Looking at her sleeping brother, her face was filled with a happy smile.

"Brother, brother! Wake up, wake up. We agreed last night! Listen to me today! So wake up, let's go out and play." Mu Xue shook the still sleeping Lin Mo, her voice full of anticipation and excitement. However, Lin Mo didn't seem to have any intention of waking up. He muttered, turned over, and continued to sleep.

"Oh, even if it's your birthday, you don't have to get up so early. Let me sleep a little longer." Lin Mo replied drowsily. Mu Xue, unable to wake her brother, jumped onto the bed and began to bounce. As she did so, she patted Lin Mo's shoulders with her little hands, trying to wake him up.

Lin Mo was finally unable to bear it anymore and hugged Mu Xue, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble. Can't I get up?" He sighed helplessly, opened his eyes, and saw his sister's bright smile. A warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Happy birthday, little one!" Lin Mo said to Mu Xue with a smile. Mu Xue nodded happily, her eyes sparkling with joy. They dressed together, washed up, and prepared to go out to celebrate this special day.

Lin Mo brought Mu Xue and Ling Long to the market, which was bustling with people. Mu Xue looked around excitedly, her eyes barely able to take it all in.

"Wow, this looks like a cloud!" Mu Xue said, pointing to a small stall selling them. Lin Mo bought one for her, and Mu Xue ate it contentedly.

As they walked, they came to a mask stall. "Brother, look at this mask, it's so beautiful!" Mu Xue picked up a mask and put it on her face, making a face at Lin Mo. Lin Mo was amused by her and also picked up a mask and put it on, "Haha, now we have all become monsters."

Mu Xue saw a wolf-head mask and wanted to buy it. After buying it, the two continued shopping and soon arrived at the door of the barbecue restaurant. So Mu Xue had a bad idea. She put on the wolf-head mask and ran into the store. Lu Renjia was in there and was startled by her. Mu Xue took off the mask and laughed.

Lin Mo also laughed and tapped Mu Xue's head gently, "You, always act naughty." At this time, the boss came over and said with a smile, "It's you, you come to eat meat again?" Mu Xue nodded, "Yes, boss." "Okay, I'll be right there." "What do you mean again? Didn't I tell you not to eat outside food? It's high in calories and will make you fat!" "Oh, I didn't get to eat it last time. The reason was..." Mu Xue told him what happened that time before Lin Mo let her go. After a while, the fragrant barbecue was served. Mu Xue couldn't wait to take a bite, mumbling, "Delicious, delicious." Lin Mo looked at his sister's satisfied expression and felt extremely happy.

After eating the barbecue, Lin Mo and Mu Xue wandered around the market for a while. Mu Xue found a lot of interesting things she had never seen before, like kites and rattles. Finally, she got to touch the puppy she had been dreaming of. When Ling Long saw her doing so, she went up and scared the puppy away, as if she was jealous. Before, when she was at the Lin family's, she'd looked at other people's puppies and wanted to touch them, but no one would let her. Now, she finally had hers! She found that since she and Lin Mo had been together, every day had been a happy one, and every day was better than when she was at the Lin family's.

The two of them and the fox played outside all day, not returning home until nightfall. After dinner, Lin Mo took out the birthday present he had prepared long ago and gave it to Mu Xue. It was an exquisite necklace, sparkling with a charming light.

"Do you like it?" Lin Mo asked softly.

Mu Xue looked at the necklace with great joy, her eyes filled with happiness, and nodded repeatedly: "I like it! It's so beautiful!" After that, she couldn't wait to throw herself into Lin Mo's arms and hug him tightly.

"Thank you, brother! I really like it!" Mu Xue said happily.

Lin Mo smiled, gently stroking Mu Xue's hair, and explained, "This necklace is not only beautiful, but also has a special function. It can store items, so you don't have to carry all kinds of things when you go out. Moreover, this is the most beautiful gift Feng Batian gave me when I joined the Assassin Alliance!"

Mu Xue's mouth dropped open in surprise, a flicker of delight in her eyes. This necklace, she wondered, was truly so precious and practical. She couldn't help but recall the time when Lin Mo joined the Assassin's Alliance. Feng Batian had presented Lin Mo with several gifts and asked him to choose one as a reward for joining. Lin Mo ultimately chose this necklace, believing it to be the most beautiful of all.

The brother and sister hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth.

At this moment, Linglong jumped onto the table, looked at the warm scene, and a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

Mu Xue noticed Linglong's eyes. He smiled, reached out his hand and gently stroked Linglong's head.

"Linglong, you are also a member of our family, and we love you too."

Linglong blinked as if she understood something, then leaned against Lin Mo, enjoying the tranquility and happiness.

"Linglong, it would be great if you could talk. That way, you wouldn't have to keep whimpering, and we wouldn't understand you. If you could talk and transform into a human form, that would be even better!" Muxue said, patting Linglong's head. "But it doesn't matter. Even if you can't transform into a human form or speak, we will always be a family!"

Tonight, Mu Xue slept the most comfortably she had ever had. Here, she had fewer scars on her body and fewer people bullying her, but she still had a brother who loved her the most!
