Birthday

Ren Xiaosu left after the banquet ended. As for Yang Xiaojin, she followed him back and did not stay around to catch up with Yang Anjing.

Yang Xiaojin did not say a word throughout the banquet. She neither refuted Yang Anjing nor Ren Xiaosu, and it was like she was just an emotionless eating machine.

After returning to their respective courtyard houses, Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked from across the wall, "I went a little overboard with my words earlier tonight. Are you unhappy that I contradicted your aunt like that?"

Ren Xiaosu heard Yang Xiaojin reply from across the wall, "No, because I often quarrel with her as well. Actually, our relationship has always been more like sisters as she's only six years older than me. You can say she's my grandpa's caboose baby since he had her at 61."

"Your grandpa is amazing," Ren Xiaosu said.
