Chapter 875: Chapter 875: Tenth Birthday, Cloud Pine Academy_1
“Jiangnan is a great place, the land of abundance.”
Lin Jinlong’s eyes sparkled as he heard this: “A favored gathering place for cultured scholars.”
Lin Jinpeng chid in with a smile: “Filled with poetry, song, and elegant refinent.”
“And the singing girls are beautiful, with their soft Wu dialect, delicate and beautiful…”
Not wanting to be left behind, Shitou mimicked and made a show of holding up his orchid finger.
As expected, he was t with a chorus of disdainful gazes from his brothers.
“This guy, at it again.”
Wang ng rolled his eyes at Shitou with contempt.
“Before we set off, let’s celebrate our little birthday boy’s birthday.”
Lin Qingluo smiled warmly and fondly ruffled Lin Yixuan’s hair.
“Happy birthday, you ten-year-old little youth.”
As if they had all agreed beforehand, the brothers wished him well in unison.
“Here cos the noodles, delicious chicken soup noodles.”
Mo Canglan had left the dining table at so point and returned with a bowl of fragrant, flavorful chicken soup noodles, placing it in front of Lin Yixuan.
“Thank you, Sister, and thank you, brothers.”
Lin Yixuan’s eyes filled with gratitude, his eyelashes turning slightly red.
“Hurry up and eat. It won’t taste good if it gets cold.”
Every person seated looked on with a smile and indulgence.
On behalf of the older brothers, Lin Jinlong took out a jade token engraved with a dragon and phoenix and gave it to Yixuan as a birthday present.
“Thank you, Brother Long.”
Lin Yixuan took the jade token, lightly touching the patterns on it, and tears involuntarily fell down his cheeks.
This ti, no one teased him.
The brothers took turns getting up from their chairs, walking over to him and either patting him on the head or hugging the weeping child.
Each person, in their own way, gave their heartfelt blessings.
“Yixuan, Brother ng and the others are grateful to you.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes shimred with tenderness as she spoke gently, “It’s because of you that everyone’s lives were saved. They will never forget your kindness.”
“Sister is so nice, always rembering my birthday.”
Lin Qingluo leaned forward and affectionately rubbed her forehead against her sister’s shoulder.
“You’re a good child, deserving of your sister’s love.”
Lin Qingluo fondly ruffled his hair, a warm current washing over her heart.
