“Lolita?” said Gerald as he couldn’t help but smile. He treated the girl like a younger sister. Lolita grew up with both Gerald and Xeno. She was also somewhat related to Xeno’s family. Unlike Gerald and Xeno, Lolita had a pretty good family background. Her family owned a shop in town, specializing in making cakes and snacks. Because of that, she usually lived in town, rarely ever coming home. Since Gerald and Xeno were still paupers who couldn’t even afford any good clothes back then, Lolita rarely played with both of them. She didn’t talk to them much either, even though they were all classmates from the same elementary school. In short, there wasn’t much interaction between the two boys and her at all. One could say that it was similar to Gerald’s relationship with Queeny. Unlike Queeny, however, they started interacting and forming a friendship late in junior high school.In their first and second grade, Lolita coincidentally continued to share the same class with Gerald

“Oh? Are you busy or something? Oh! Don’t worry, it’ll be Chase’s treat today! Even if we have to settle our own bills, I’ll back you up, alright?” said Lolita as she assumed Gerald’s worries. Naturally, it wasn’t about monetary issues. It was just that Gerald still had to celebrate his own birthday today! Even if Gerald turned her invitation down, it wouldn’t matter much to Lolita. However, since he now knew that Mr. Weiss would be attending as well, he couldn’t help but feel like he would be letting his ex-teacher down if he didn’t join the gathering. “No, it’s not about the money… In all honesty, I was originally planning to invite you to celebrate my birthday with me today! But since you’ve mentioned Mr. Weiss, how about this? I’ll just go along with you to have a brief chat with him. After that, I’ll return and get back to my own celebration!” replied Gerald. “…Oh? It’s your birthday today? Well this is embarrassing! Alright, I think your plan sounds good. We’ll go there,

When Gerald was finally close enough, he started greeting the classmates who came over to say hello to him. He also saw Sherry, and Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly embarrassed as well. After all, both of them had dated before in the past. Though they technically hadn’t truly dated, the relationship they shared back then was similar enough to dating. In short, it had been quite an ambiguous relationship. Sherry had also been the reason why Yale, the school bully, set his eyes on Gerald in the first place. Everyone knew what happened next. In the end, Sherry got together with Yale. Gerald had earlier wondered whether she would be here at the gathering as well. It would be extremely awkward and embarrassing to meet her today. After all, he hated her. He hated her a lot. Though Xeno and Gerald had done everything because of her, she still decided to be with their rival instead. Xeno lost his opportunity to continue studying. And it was all because of her. How cou

Just as Gerald was about to say something, he was promptly cut off by another person talking loudly. It was Chase. “Wow! So many of our classmates are here today! All of you are really giving me a lot of face for attending! I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements today so why not enter first before continuing to chat?” As he scanned through the crowd, he saw Mr. Weiss and Kristen. With a smile on his face, he walked over to both of them before saying, “Mr. Weiss! Miss Yahn! Welcome, let’s go in and have a seat first! Eh? You’re here too Gerald? Well Alright then! Let’s go in together!” Chase was slightly surprised to see Gerald so he simply greeted him casually. “Hey Sherry, come over here. Can’t you see that our class teacher is already here?” called out Chase when he saw her. As soon as she stood beside him, Chase immediately interlocked his fingers with hers. Most of their classmates were taken aback when they saw this, and this included Gerald. Sherry was ap

“Oh? Another classmate is celebrating their birthday today too?” asked Chase as he smiled with a slightly raised brow. “That’s right! Today is Kirk’s birthday as well! Going back to Xeno, when I told him about the celebration, Xeno told me that he wasn’t free to attend today!” Kirk was another of their junior high classmates. Though he was a pretty honest and straightforward person, academic-wise, he was always at the bottom of the class. His family owned a cement factory and since he realized he wasn’t cut out for studying, he 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 him a red envelope for his birthday!” Hearing the suggestion from one of their classmates, the crowd cheered in agreem

After that, Gerald looked at Lolita and she nodded before bidding farewell to Mr. Weiss as well. “What? They’re actually leaving? Did they really just come here to visit Mr. Weiss? What a load of bullshit! What about us? Don’t we exist?” exclaimed a few of the girls, visibly upset. “Right? Are you holding a grudge against us just because we didn’t wish you a happy birthday?” “Gerald, I’ll be frank. It’s not that I don’t want to wish you a happy birthday through Line, but I really don’t want your number on my phone in the first place! Hahaha!” “D*mn! Roasted!” Immediately after that, everyone began laughing. Laughing at him seemed to be their favorite form of amusement after all. Gerald simply remained silent. He knew that it wouldn’t be difficult to make them eat their own words. However, he decided to be the bigger person and just left with Lolita. Having a major reaction to his classmates’ mockery would be pretty petty of him after all. Sherry on the other hand, shook h

After picking everyone up, there were four people in the car as they headed for Fuenti. It took roughly around twenty minutes for them to arrive at Sunny Springs. Gerald really hadn’t expected to see such a huge crowd. Luxury cars continued to enter, one after another, and several hawkers had congregated at Sunny Springs’s entrance. After all, this was their prime opportunity to make a profit off the ever-growing crowd. Rather than a birthday celebration, it looked like an entire festival. ‘How lively!’ Gerald thought to himself. A red carpet had been laid out from the entrance all the way to the hotel, and dozens of employees were rushing around, busy welcoming any honored guests they could see. If it weren’t for Zack, Gerald really wouldn’t have thought of hosting something on such a grand scale. It didn’t even feel like the event was to celebrate his birthday anymore. “Christ, there’s so many people here! How did you even manage to make a reservation, Gerald? It’s impossi

“Settle down now, today’s Gerald’s birthday and he said that he’d treat us to dinner. Since all of you don’t seem to have anything better to do, let’s just celebrate his birthday together! Show us to the restaurant, Gerald!” suggested Mr. Winters. “What? We’re busy dad. You know, we’re going to have dinner with some of Boss’s friends. Why don’t you come with us instead?” asked the first sister in law. She then turned to look at Francis before saying, “Fran, Jazz, both of you can run along now. You don’t have to waste any more time here, and remember to be on your best behavior when your leader arrives!” Francis and his colleagues nodded immediately. They knew how important the event was. After glaring at Gerald one final time, Francis left with his colleagues. As for Queeny, she had been quietly observing Gerald the entire time. Just a while ago, everyone was making fun of Gerald. Some were even openly insulting him. However, Queeny knew better since she was already aware tha
