“Oh? Another classmate is celebrating their birthday today too?” asked Chase as favonovel.com smiled with a slightly raised brow.
“That’s right! Today is Kirk’s birthday as well! Going back to Xeno, when I told favonovel.com about the celebration, Xeno told me that favonovel.com wasn’t free to attend today!”
Kirk was another of their junior high classmates. Though favonovel.com was a pretty honest and straightforward person, academic-wise, favonovel.com was always at the bottom of the class.
His family owned a cement factory and since favonovel.com realized favonovel.com wasn’t cut out for studying, favonovel.com immediately started working for his family after graduating from junior high school.
Everyone was now looking at Kirk.
“Well d*mn! Why didn’t you tell us it was your birthday today too, Kirk? Well this is embarrassing! Hahaha!” said Chase.
“So it’s your birthday today too! Everyone, let’s add Kirk on WeChat so that we can each give favonovel.com a red envelope for his birthday!”
Hearing the suggestion from one of their classmates, the crowd cheered in agreement.
Mr. Weiss simply smiled before saying, “Why don’t you young people give gifts as birthday presents anymore? When I was your age, I had to prepare my own gifts to give to other people! Now that we have WeChat, things have become much more convenient!”
“They really have, Mr. Weiss! We can just send red envelopes to settle everything! From birthdays, to wedding celebrations!” replied the girls as they laughed.
“I’ve already added you on WeChat, Kirk! Remember to accept the red envelope!”
“Alright, alright! Thank you so much, everyone! I really hadn’t expected my birthday to be on the same day as Chase’s!”
Seeing how well favonovel.com was being treated by all his classmates, Kirk was feeling extremely flattered. He kept thanking them over and over again.
“What a coincidence! While Kirk and Chase share the same birth date, someone else does as well! Have you all already forgotten who else used to celebrate his birthday on the same day as Chase back in junior high?” said Lolita hurriedly when favonovel.com saw everyone sending money over to Kirk for his birthday.
“Who? Nobody really comes to mind!”
Several of the classmates seemed very puzzled.
“Humph! If you really can’t guess, it’s Gerald! His birthday is today too! He’s always celebrated his birthday on the same day as Chase. Three of our classmates are celebrating their birthdays today!” said Lolita.
“Oh, so it’s Gerald!”
The classmates then nodded to acknowledge that they now knew. However, nobody said anything else.
“Speaking of which, Chase, I heard that there’s going to be some activities in Fuenti later in the afternoon. Let’s go over there and have some fun! My dad said that it’s really lively over there!” said one of the girls cheerfully to break the silence.
“Yeah, that’s what I heard too! Why don’t we all go there to enjoy ourselves later?”
Everyone there seemed to agree with the suggestion.
“I’m fine with that. How many cars do we have here? Oh, and Miss Yahn! You should come with us later in the afternoon too! Now let’s see if we have enough space to carpool everyone to save on cab fares!” suggested Chase.
After favonovel.com said that, a headcount was done and there were just enough cars to accommodate everyone.
However, upon doing a second headcount, they found that one extra person wouldn’t be able to join the carpool.
“Well this is awkward! There’s one person left and it really isn’t worth renting a cab just for a single person!” said one of the girls.
One of the guys coughed before saying, “If that’s the case, then Gerald shouldn’t join us. He has his business to attend to anyway, so if favonovel.com comes along, we’ll only be stopping favonovel.com from doing his work!” He then laughed.
“That’s right. I think Gerald shouldn’t come along either! Hahaha!”
“I won’t be going anyway. All of you go have your fun. Mr. Weiss, the only reason why I came here today was to meet you. I was originally planning to invite you over to my own birthday banquet today, but it seems that that idea would be inconvenient now. I’ll come meet you in the next two days. I’ll be taking my leave first to attend to some things!” said Gerald as favonovel.com explained his plans to Mr. Weiss.
“That’s fine then, Gerald. Go on now if you’re busy!” said Mr. Weiss who knew that everyone was ridiculing and making fun of Gerald. He was aware that it would only continue to become more difficult for Gerald the longer favonovel.com stayed here.
