Chapter 1567: I Advise You Not to Be Unappreciative

She placed the test and pen together and pushed them in front of Xu Tingting.

“This is the easiest way to solve it. Later, let Brother Shu explain it to you again.”

“You explain it to me. I don’t want him to. He’s always so harsh when teaching me.”

Xu Tingting pulled Nan Jiaojiao with a bit too much force as she was just about to stand up, which nearly caused her to fall again, but Bo Yanching caught her around the waist and pulled her away.

Xu Shu instinctively protected Xu Tingting, but ended up pulling her instead.

She cursed under her breath, “You’re so ungrateful. I always make time to teach you, yet you complain.”

Xu Tingting raised her eyebrows high, “But you’re playing now!”

“If you weren’t here trying to have fun, would I be here?”

Yaen Chi happened to pass by and unfortunately heard the whole thing.

After all, he’s the birthday star. Why is everyone ignoring him, acting like they’re here more for sister-watching than celebrating his birthday?

What sins did he commit in his past life to have these troublemaking friends in this life!

“Alright, stop playing around and sing me a birthday song.”

Yaen Chi’s request attracted disdainful looks from all directions, as if daggers were being thrown at him.

Only Mo Tingshen, who had been busy at the dining table, showed him some respect and stuck a candle in.

He paused and turned to ask Loo Jinyang, “How old is he now? Three or four candles?”

Loo Jinyang: “I think he hasn’t reached thirty yet.”

“Twenty-nine?” Mo Tingshen clicked his tongue. “He really looks like he’s in a rush to age.”

“Not that bad; Brother Chi shaves clean, doesn’t look old.”

“Oh.”

Mo Tingshen put in two candles, one on each side, neither standing straight, just carelessly placed. He couldn’t find his lighter and didn’t bother searching.

“It’s your birthday, light them yourself.”

Yaen Chi: “…”

Could he just kick all these people out?

He lit the candles himself and asked, “Who’s going to sing me a birthday song?”

“…”

No one responded.

Yaen Chi gritted his teeth and sang it himself.

Who cares if it was awkward; he quickly tossed the candles aside after singing.

“Please make way.”

Bo Yanching squeezed over and cut a piece of cake, with Xu Shu standing by, politely extending his hand, “Thank you, Brother Yan.”

Bo Yanching gave him the first piece, “You’re welcome.”

Xu Shu took it and walked away, placing it in front of Xu Tingting.

Bo Yanching cut another piece for Nan Jiaojiao and took all the strawberries off the cream.

Yaen Chi waited for ages, but no one cut one for him.

He took off his hat, enraged, “It’s my damn birthday, and you guys don’t even pretend?”

Bo Yanching shot him a cool look, “I suggest you be grateful.”

Xu Shu: “Aren’t we here?”

Loo Jinyang: “Hurry up, Brother Chi, just for the ceremony. I have another appointment later.”

Mo Tingshen cut a small piece, scraped some cream off into the plate, and handed it to Yaen Chi, “Eat up, dad cut it for you.”

Bo Qingshan had been watching by the side and was happy with the remaining half of the cake, his eyes shining with excitement, “Uncle Mo, are we done cutting?”

Mo Tingshen gently replied, “No more cutting.”

“Then I’ll take it all. Please help me pack it back, Uncle Mo.”

Mo Tingshen chuckled, helped him pack it back, even retying the ribbon into a bow, and placed it on another table.

Yaen Chi was left dumbfounded. Without even asking him, how could they just mess around like that!

He put down the small plate of cake, poured himself half a glass of red wine, drank it all in one go, and swallowed back the curses ready to burst from his throat.
