The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 955: JIAO JIAO'S BIRTHDAY (I)

YU JIAO parked her bike on the parking lot dedicated for bicycles. Although she's no longer staying at the dormitory, she was still travelling to and from school via her bike. It's because their apartment was just a few blocks away from the school. Besides, it's a good exercise.          

    

As she walked towards their year's teaching building, there was an obvious lightness in her gait. The corner of her lips was even turned slightly higher compared to normal, showing her happy mood.     

There were many reasons to be happy today. But the main reason was because it was her birthday. The happiness she's feeling all came from that.      

She had a bowl of longevity noodles for breakfast, all prepared by her mother. She also received a lot of greetings from friends and classmates. Compared to last year, it was like heaven and earth.      

Aside from those things, there was also that message she received at midnight, just a second after the date changed. She subconsciously picked up her phone and read that message once again.     

[Jiao Jiao, happy birthday! I wish you nothing but happiness for the incredible journey that was ahead of you. I'm very lucky to be one of the people who met you on this journey. There would be a lot more people who would accompany you in this journey. Hopefully, I could remain as one of them. Wishing you the very best. Not just today but for all days to come. Enjoy your day! And once again, happy, happy birthday! – Brother Ren.]

This long message was even followed by a sticker of a little boy holding a birthday cake.     

Yu Jiao honestly couldn't describe what she felt after reading it. There was just a lot of emotions going through her at that time. Happiness, appreciation, gratitude. It was only now that she read it again that she understood what it was. She was moved by the words that he sent. Probably because she could feel sincerity in each of his words. And that made her happy.      

After getting off the elevator, he quickly walked towards her classroom. The moment she opened the door and walked inside, four girls suddenly surrounded her.     

"Happy birthday, our Prince Yu!" almost all of them said at the same time while handing out different gift bags to her.     

"Th-thank you," Yu Jiao said, stammering because of how startled she was.     

She wanted to say that there's no need to give her a gift, but she also couldn't just refused their presents. Refusing them was like trampling on the sincerity they had when they bought these gifts. So, at the end, she could only helplessly accept them.     

The four girls were not the only ones who gave her gifts, by the time she reached her seat, her arms were full of gifts. And all of them came from her female classmates.      

She wasn't sure why, but after she cut off her bangs and wore contacts instead of glasses, the girls in the class seemed to become more interested in her. Even to the point of calling her 'Prince Yu'. She didn't mind since none of them were doing it out of malice. Although the attention was a bit jarring, she was simply glad that she was finally getting along with her classmates.      

Yu Jiao looked down at her arms filled with gifts and suddenly fell into trouble. It's because she didn't know where to put the gifts. She didn't want to just put them down beside her table for fear that they might accidentally be stepped on by one of her classmates. That would be disrespectful to the person who gave her the gift.     

As she was thinking of what to do, Luo Yan suddenly appeared in front of her.      

"Put them here," he said while holding a large paper bag open. It was as if he knew something like this would happen and quickly came to her rescue.     

Which was not completely wrong. Luo Yan knew that Yu Jiao would receive a lot of gifts from their female classmates, especially considering her popularity among them. Well, he could hardly blame them. Yu Jiao was so handsome that it was only natural for her to attract a lot of the girls in the class. Her shy demeanor only added to her charm.      

He knew that the other wouldn't prepare a bag for all the gifts she would receive. She probably wouldn't even expect that she would receive one. As her friend, it's his job to help her at times like this.      

"Thank you, Yan Yan," Yu Jiao said gratefully as she carefully put the gifts she received on the paper bag.

Once everything was inside, Luo Yan put it down beside Yu Jiao's table.      

"Happy birthday again, Jiao Jiao," he greeted the other. He had already greeted the other earlier through WeChat. But a personal greeting like this was still the best. "I will give your gift later," he added in a whisper.     

Then, he walked back to his seat.      

Yu Jiao also sat down. It hadn't been a minute yet and some of her female classmates walked to her table and gave her gifts for her birthday. Feeling helpless, and at the same time, thankful, she could only thank them.     

This moment, where Yu Jiao's table was surrounded by girls giving her gifts, was captured by Luo Yan. Along with the other picture he took when the other walked into the classroom and was immediately surrounded by girls, he sent the two pictures to his older brother. Of course, he did not forget to write a caption.     

[Brother, look how popular our Jiao Jiao is! With this many rivals, you should really up your game.]         

    

He laughed inwardly after he sent that. It would definitely be a good stimulus for his older brother.

Luo Ren was inside his office and checking some data  regarding the land that he successfully bought on the auction last Monday. His phone suddenly rang. When he saw one that's from Luo Yan, he opened it first. But the moment he saw the content, his brows immediately furrowed.
