She died tragically from late-stage cancer, but was reborn and pampered by a military officer!

Luo Yusheng raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance: "Are you referring to the fact that you two are close?"

"No, it's about what happened yesterday. Don't assume I've done something wrong to you just because of a few words from a stranger."

Ji Tingxiao looked very sad: "I will be sad because of this."

He explained again, trying to distract Luo Yusheng so she wouldn't overthink things about Manager Liu.

“Song Qianqian and I broke off contact a long time ago, so please don’t misunderstand me because of this.”

This explanation amused Luo Yusheng, and she looked at Song Qianqian: "Did you see that? He said you have nothing to do with him."

Tears welled up in Song Qianqian's eyes and fell. Her face flushed with anger, and she ran away quickly.

Luo Yusheng found it pointless and turned to leave.

Ji Tingxiao pulled her back: "I'm trying my best to meet your requirements, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

She shook off his hand and said dismissively, "I'm very satisfied."

Hearing this tone, Ji Tingxiao's anger rose three points, but he didn't dare to get angry at her in the end. He just said, "But I feel like you're not the same as before."

"You used to..."

"Before?" Luo Yusheng thought for a moment. "You mean, I have to chase after you like before, acting like a lapdog to please you before you'll be satisfied?"

Ji Tingxiao was taken aback, thinking about his current situation.

Now, I'm the one who's acting like a simp!

Seeing the resentment on his face, Luo Yusheng smiled faintly: "What? You can't stand the switch of identities? I could do things for you before, but you can't now?"

Faced with such a question, Ji Tingxiao was speechless.

Luo Yusheng wanted to say something sarcastic, but when she caught sight of Jiang Moche, she abandoned him and walked towards Jiang Moche with a smile.

"I've finished the practice questions you recommended. After school, please check my accuracy."

Jiang Moche agreed: "Should we go to your place or mine today?"

"Anything is fine. My dad recently ordered some sweet honeydew melons. Would you like to try some? He also said he wants to thank you and invite you to dinner. When are you free?"

As the two walked past him chatting and laughing, Ji Tingxiao's face darkened, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

It's Jiang Moche again! Why is he still clinging to Luo Yusheng like a ghost?!

If it weren't for his appearance, I could have won Luo Yusheng back long ago!

Before they knew it, it was Jiang Moche's birthday.

Luo Yusheng had just finished breakfast when the butler came to say, "The Jiang family's driver has arrived. He says he's here to pick up Mr. and Miss to attend the birthday banquet."

Luo Zhengdong also received an invitation to the birthday party, but unfortunately, he was too busy at work to find the time.

"Explain it to Xiao Jiang and then give him the gift. I'm going to the company now."

Luo Yusheng agreed and, after watching Luo Zhengdong leave, got into the Jiang family's car.

When she arrived at the Jiang family's house, she discovered that there were no other classmates at the banquet.

She gave the gift to Jiang Moche, conveyed her father's message, and asked, "Didn't you invite any other classmates?"

"It's just a birthday party, there's no need to make a big fuss."

Jiang Moche then introduced her to his cousin and other family members.

Upon their first meeting, Luo Yusheng greeted him politely.

My cousin looks three or four parts like him. She has a gentle temperament, but the way she looks at him is a bit strange, and her tone of voice is a bit stiff.

After all, this is their home, and it's understandable that the family finds it strange that a stranger like her is here.

Uncle Jiang welcomed her warmly: "It's not a big banquet, just relax and enjoy yourself."

After chatting for a while, the group got up and headed to the restaurant.

As soon as she sat down, Luo Yusheng noticed her cousin's scrutinizing gaze.

She turned to the side and asked, "What's wrong?"

Her cousin ignored her words, looked away, and gestured for the maid to pour the wine.

Luo Yusheng found it strange that her cousin was distant and cold towards her.

She tried to strike up a conversation, but received no response several times.

She originally wanted to ignore it, after all, they were Jiang Moche's family, but her cousin's aggressive gaze was really piercing.

The meal was eaten in a very cramped manner.

Fortunately, Jiang Moche was sitting between the two of them and would occasionally chime in, which prevented the atmosphere from becoming awkward.

During the conversation about gifts, the uncle gestured for Jiang Moche to bring over the gift he had given him.

After Jiang Moche got up and left, his cousin suddenly leaned close to Luo Yusheng and said, "You'd better be nicer to my brother."

What do you mean?

Did she do something bad to Jiang Moche?

In just a moment, my cousin returned to her seat.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Just as Luo Yusheng was about to ask, Jiang Moche returned.

He seemed to hear his cousin's words, separated the two of them, and said to his cousin, "Don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that he spoke up to defend her, her cousin's face grew even colder, and her tone became even colder than before: "I don't know what's so good about her that she's made you so infatuated with her, from the past until now."

Her cousin's resentful gaze swept across Luo Yusheng's face.

Jiang Moche, who had been mild-mannered, turned cold upon hearing this: "How much more do you want to say!"

Seeing her younger brother's displeasure, the older cousin pursed her lips and said no more.

But there was impatience hidden in his glance at Luo Yusheng.

By this time, the dinner was nearing its end, and some elders had already left the table.

Jiang Moche pulled Luo Yusheng up, said goodbye to his family, and then left the restaurant with her.

Luo Yusheng was still reeling from the shock of her cousin's words and didn't resist when he took her away.

It seems like he... noticed her a long time ago?

We left the restaurant and stopped in the living room.

Jiang Moche spoke first: "Don't mind her, that's just how my cousin is, she's quite direct."

He lowered his eyes, seemingly somewhat agitated.

Seeing his reaction, Luo Yusheng suppressed the urge to press for more information; now was not the right time.

She took out a gift and handed it to Jiang Moche: "Don't be unhappy. Today is your birthday after all. Happy birthday."

This birthday gift box is different from the one she just gave me. Jiang Moche looked at the long table where the gifts were placed, and on it was the gift she gave me when I came in: "Double?"

Luo Yusheng chuckled: "That one was a gift from my father. He couldn't come, so he asked me to pass it on. This one I picked out myself."

Jiang Moche accepted the gift and tugged at the ribbon.

Luo Yusheng nodded, indicating that he could open it: "I don't know what to give you. The last few times I came here for tutoring, I saw a Go set in your room. It was an old-fashioned set but it wasn't dusty. The Go stones were warm to the touch, so you must have used it often."

“I guessed you would like it, so I ordered a set of chess pieces for you.”

"Although it's not a particularly expensive brand."

There was nothing inside the Go box, but Jiang Moche took it out and realized that the Go stones were made of jade.

White jadeite and black jadeite, a total of 361 pieces.

Putting aside the price, the craftsmanship involved in polishing the chess pieces and the search for the jade material alone are very time-consuming.

He stroked the warm, smooth chess pieces, and could feel the care she had put into choosing the gift.

Luo Yusheng could tell from his obvious fondness that he really liked it.

The boy's restrained and suppressed affection was reflected in his dark, deep eyes, leaving Luo Yusheng momentarily stunned.

He really likes it.
