Gu Mang said calmly, "It’s alright."
Since the beginning of school, Meng Jinyang had spent her weekends reading in the school library before fully understanding all the subjects she was studying.
She smiled and said softly, "It should be fine."
Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang drank some alcohol. Jiang Shenyuan had to drive later, so he drank tea. Meng Jinyang drank for the first time. After drinking a glass, she felt a little tipsy. Jiang Shenyuan stopped her when she wanted to continue.
The group chatted casually in the restaurant as they finished their meal.
It was around 9.30pm.
Jiang Shenyuan pointed his chin at the birthday cake on the coffee table to the side. "Cut the cake and then we’ll eat it."
"The cake is mine." Lu Chengzhou had no expression on his face when he said that. He leaned in his chair in his usual casual posture with his dark eyes half-closed. "Lawyer Jiang, it’s getting late."
In other words, he meant, "Don’t even think about it. Scoot off, quickly."
Gu Mang glanced at him when she heard him. The corners of her lips curled up.
Fine, if you say it’s personal, then it is.
It was his birthday today.
Meng Jinyang wanted to laugh too, but she didn’t know Lu Chengzhou too well, so she held back.
Seeing that Gu Mang did not say anything, Jiang Shenyuan tutted and turned to Meng Jinyang. "Let’s go, there should be a dessert shop still open nearby. Let’s not eat theirs. Brother Jiang will treat you."
The corner of Meng Jinyang’s lips twitched.
...
After sending the two of them off, Lu Chengzhou shut the door. He put his arms around Gu Mang’s shoulders and walked towards the sofa. Just after sitting down, Lu Chengzhou’s phone vibrated and he picked it up. It was a message from Gu Si accompanied by a red packet.
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows and turned to Gu Mang. "What is he doing?"
If Gu Si could send a message to Lu Chengzhou despite his busy schedule, Lu Chengzhou had to be cautious in case it said "Happy Death Anniversary".
Lu Chengzhou was quite afraid that the red packet Gu Si had sent him contained a virus to hack his phone.
Gu Mang leaned against him and tapped on the red envelope expressionlessly.
"0.26 yuan." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
He also added a sticker showing contempt. Old_man_is_getting_older.jpg.
Gu Si reminded Lu Chengzhou of how old he was in the cheapest way and even insulted him.
Gu Mang tilted her head against Lu Chengzhou’s shoulders and laughed, her shoulders shaking.
Lu Chengzhou suddenly felt that Gu Si might as well have just hacked his phone. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Looking at Gu Mang, who was still laughing in his arms, Lu Chengzhou asked with a serious look, "Am I really that old?"
Gu Mang’s eyes were very happy. "Yeah, a little."
