A top student transmigrates into a book: Reborn in the 90s and rises to prominence.

Sister Zhao looked at the candles on the cake and the flickering candlelight.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "It looks so beautiful! So this is what a birthday cake is like. This is the first time I've ever seen one. Is it okay that all this wax has dripped onto the cake?"

"Sister Zhao, it's okay. It's made of a special material and is edible. But there's a tray underneath, so don't worry about it spilling onto the cake," Jiang Zheyuan explained patiently.

After explaining to Sister Zhao, he looked at Shao Wanwan and said, "Make a wish quickly! The wishes made by the God of Longevity are the most effective."

Shao Wanwan closed her eyes and made a wish.

Sister Zhao saw the deep affection in Jiang Zheyuan's eyes.

I thought to myself that the handsome men and beautiful women were even more pleasing to the eye than they appeared on TV dramas.

I hope they can have a smooth and successful relationship without any major setbacks in the future.

Because Sister Zhao liked Shao Wanwan so much, she also found Jiang Zheyuan very pleasing to the eye.

After making her wish, Shao Wanwan cut the cake, giving a large slice to Sister Zhao, and then cutting two more slices and placing them aside. "You're done for the day. Take these home for Shuai Shuai and Brother Li! Let them have a taste too."

Sister Zhao was stunned; she hadn't expected Shao Wanwan to be so thoughtful.

Knowing Shao Wanwan's personality, Sister Zhao didn't stand on ceremony with her.

The silky cream melts in your mouth, and the soft cake base has just the right amount of sweetness.

Sister Zhao had never eaten anything so delicious before. She kept praising it as she ate, and her mouth was covered in cream.

Shao Wanwan smiled and told her to eat slowly. Because she was so hungry, she didn't care about her image and ate with cream all over her mouth and even her face.

Jiang Zheyuan took out his camera and pressed the shutter.

The flash of the camera startled Shao Wanwan. She looked like a little deer caught stealing fruit, extremely cute.

"Eat slowly, there's still so much food left!" Jiang Zheyuan said, and very naturally reached out to wipe the cream off Shao Wanwan's lips.

Since he had nowhere to apply it, he simply put it in his mouth and sucked on it.

He didn't realize anything was wrong, which made Sister Zhao blush.

Covering her face, she said, "Oh dear, I can't stand you two young people. When you're like this, I'm starting to think that the man I married isn't human, but a pig."

Shao Wanwan came to her senses and was also extremely embarrassed.

He kept his head down and kept cooking.

Sister Zhao is a very good cook; her dishes are flavorful and delicious. Shao Wanwan ate two bowls of rice and was so full she was almost dizzy.

Sister Zhao looked at the table full of dishes.

She said a little embarrassedly, "There are so many dishes, I can eat them for several days. They are all good stuff. Xiao Jiang, don't be so stingy in the future. I have a younger sister at home, I can feed her well."

Sister Zhao felt she had taken too much advantage of Jiang Zheyuan and was uneasy about it.

"Didn't I come here to freeload a meal? Sister Zhao, if you don't welcome me, I won't come again." Jiang Zheyuan pretended to be angry.

Sister Zhao was overjoyed by the flattery and quickly said "Welcome!"

After eating and drinking her fill, Shao Wanwan felt even sleepier and yawned.

"Sister Zhao, I won't help you pack up today. I need to go back and catch up on my sleep. I'll come find you again when I'm ready. You should get some rest too."

On her way back, Shao Wanwan dozed off in the back seat of Jiang Zheyuan's car.

"Your relationship with Sister Zhao is very natural, even more so than your relationship with Shao Moli," Jiang Zheyuan said, trying to find a topic to talk about in case Shao Wanwan had actually fallen asleep.

Mentioning Shao Moli immediately made Shao Wanwan feel less sleepy.

"Well, Sister Zhao and I are friends who have been through thick and thin together. As for Shao Moli and me... at most, I'm the one who took over someone else's place. They were originally a family, and everything was fine, but after I came along, there was no place for them anymore. Actually, I've always felt that Shao Moli has had a tough time. Speaking of which, if I get all A's on this exam, Shao Moli's scholarship will be in jeopardy. I don't know how to get her to raise enough money to buy headphones for her grandmother without her noticing. Actually, she's my grandmother too, and it's no problem for me to help out. But Shao Moli definitely wants to do this with her own hands and doesn't want to accept anyone's charity."

Jiang Zheyuan nodded.

"We can help her through other means, but she definitely won't accept it if we just give it to her directly," Jiang Zheyuan casually agreed.

"You seem to know Shao Moli very well?" Shao Wanwan asked excitedly.

Jiang Zheyuan immediately went on high alert, and suddenly a little sweat broke out on his forehead.

“She seems very determined, but that was just my wild guess,” Jiang Zheyuan quickly said.

Shao Wanwan was a little disappointed.

Jiang Zheyuan probably didn't realize at all that Shao Moli had developed some inappropriate feelings for him.

The reason he shouldn't move is because he is currently engaged.

However, based on Shao Wanwan's understanding of Shao Moli, unless the two of them break off their engagement or, like in the original book, get married and then divorce, Shao Moli will definitely keep these feelings to herself.

Even though she felt like she was being stabbed a thousand times every time she saw Jiang Zheyuan being nice to others.

Shao Moli was used to enduring things.

But now that Jiang Zheyuan has shown his true feelings for her, it would be an insult to both of them if she were to try to matchmake Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Moli.

Shao Wanwan secretly hoped that Shao Moli could be braver and compete fairly with her, because Jiang Zheyuan was truly worth it.

"Thank you for remembering my birthday. To be honest, I don't really care about my birthday. My mother had a difficult childbirth and damaged her health, so she passed away not long after. My father also passed away early. Although my adoptive parents treated me well, I always felt that this day wasn't worth celebrating. But after eating the cake today, I realized that I should celebrate because there must be someone who wants me to live well and be healthy." Shao Wanwan thanked Jiang Zheyuan very sincerely.

This birthday was such a surprise, but it was definitely a wonderful memory.

Not just me, but also Uncle Shao, we all hope you live well. You must live well!

“I will celebrate your birthday every year from now on. Now that you have me, you will have many relatives, and your life will be lively and bustling. You will no longer be as lonely as before,” Jiang Zheyuan said softly.

Shao Wanwan felt a long-lost warmth.

It creates the illusion that Jiang Zheyuan can stay with me for a very long time.

But she really didn't dare to rely on someone who was destined to leave her too much.

She didn't respond to Jiang Zheyuan's words.

But after everything that had happened, she really couldn't push Jiang Zheyuan away. After all, they had agreed before that he wouldn't pressure her to get married and would obediently wait for her to graduate.

During this time, she wants to make money, and he will fully support her.

This is enough time. Enough time for both her and Shao Moli to become stronger and have more options. When she is fully able to prove to Jiang Zheyuan that she can take care of herself, that may be the time to set Jiang Zheyuan free.

Jiang Zheyuan escorted her to her dormitory building.

Because of the psychological trauma left by witnessing someone else's good time, Jiang Zheyuan wanted to escape as soon as he put Shao Wanwan down. He was genuinely afraid of hearing any more nonsense.
