Chapter 424: We’ll Celebrate for You

In the cafeteria at noon.

“Xiao Ai, you have to treat us!”

Jian Ai had a plate in her hand as she sat down, when Xia Qinghuan spoke impatiently.

Guan Tao also looked at Jian Ai with a smile.

Seeing this, Jian Ai looked at Xia Qinghuan in amusement and said, “There’s no problem with treating, but you’re so busy filming. Do you have time to eat?”

“Yes, yes!” Xia Qinghuan quickly said, “I’m the third female lead. I don’t have many scenes in the first place, and I’m not as busy as before. Director Yiming also knows that I’m about to take my final examination, so he told me he plans to hold back my scenes. I’ll film again after the examination and during the summer break. It’s fine.”

Hearing Qinghuan’s words, Jian Ai nodded. “Alright, it’s my birthday soon. Let’s have a meal together. My treat.”

“Birthday?” Xia Qinghuan was stunned. She blurted, “Your birthday is in June?”

Guan Tao nodded. “Xiao Ai’s birthday is on the twentieth of June.”

Xia Qinghuan: “Isn’t that the day after tomorrow?”

Jian Ai waved her hand indifferently. “I didn’t plan anything. There’s no need to be so surprised.”

In the past, during her birthdays, her mother would buy a cake for her and cook a table of dishes to celebrate together with her aunt’s family.

Jian Ai had never celebrated her birthday with her classmates.

If Xia Qinghuan had not mentioned about the treat, she would have forgotten that it was her birthday.

“How can we do that?” Xia Qinghuan had a serious expression on her face. “We have to celebrate your birthday. Let’s celebrate it together.”

Jian Ai quickly said, “Don’t tell Lin Yi and the rest that it’s my birthday. Just say that I won the competition so I’m treating everyone to a meal.”

Jian Ai didn’t want everyone to spend money. It was mainly because she lacked nothing now. She was already very happy if they could have a meal together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jian Ai finished speaking, Lin Yi’s voice sounded from behind her. “It’s your birthday soon?”

Jian Ai: “…”

She turned around and saw Lin Yi, Yan Tian, and Gao Yang standing behind her. The plates in their hands were empty. It was obvious that they had finished their meal.

Without waiting for Jian Ai to speak, Xia Qinghuan quickly said, “Yes, it’s Xiao Ai’s birthday the day after tomorrow. She wants to treat us to a meal.”

When Yan Tian heard that, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “Great! The gold award for the Olympiad and a birthday. It’s a double celebration. We’ll help you celebrate it.”

The others also looked at her with a smile. Jian Ai was helpless and could only nod. She smiled and said, “Let’s do it this weekend. My family will probably celebrate for me the day after tomorrow. Let’s go out during the weekend and have fun.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Lin Yi was already thinking about what to give Jian Ai.

After all, on his birthday, Jian Ai gave him a Guoyou fountain pen with his name engraved on it. He still couldn’t bear to use it. He kept it in his pencil case, and his mood would improve whenever he saw it.

Now that it was Jian Ai’s birthday, he had to give her a more meticulous gift.

The commotion made Jian Yiyi and the rest at another table nearby jealous.

Li Yunmei looked at Lin Yi’s radiant smile at Jian Ai and felt that it stung her eyes. She immediately lost her appetite and slammed her chopsticks on the table. “Hah, what is she so smug for? Isn’t it just an award?”

When Xi Jie saw this, she chimed in, “That’s right. Yiyi won an award too. She’s not like her. How arrogant.”

Jian Yiyi’s expression was gentle, and she revealed an embarrassed and ladylike smile. However, she thought to herself, ‘I want to be arrogant too, but I’m not qualified because I only have the bronze award.’
