The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Birthday, cutting the cake...

Gu Qingqing's face suddenly turned pale.

42. A Birthday of Extraordinary Significance

The sealed memories seemed about to be unlocked, but the door to those memories was nailed shut with wooden planks.

Gu Qingqing was in a daze for a moment.

That sense of familiarity vanished in an instant, and the memories that were about to surface were locked back inside the gates of memory.

"What just happened to me?"

Gu Qingqing was taken aback, and an unusual sense of loss rose in her heart.

"No, no, what was I thinking just now?"

As she gets closer to the truth, Gu Qingqing feels more and more of her memories being unlocked, but there's always a force suppressing them.

Gu Qingqing increasingly felt this power.

"Teacher...why did you do this?"

Gu Qingqing's expression was complicated.

Aside from her closest teacher, she couldn't think of anyone else who could tamper with her body without her teacher noticing.

If the teacher really wanted to harm her, there would have been countless opportunities during those twenty-odd years of raising her, but until the teacher passed away, she did nothing bad to her.

"No, no, how could I doubt the teacher? Or maybe something happened before I met the teacher, and the teacher couldn't solve it. She might have been helpless too."

Gu Qingqing comforted herself.

......

In the light screen.

Gu Ran asked with some surprise, "Birthday? Too?"

Gu Ran then realized what was happening.

Having lost his parents at a young age, Gu Ran couldn't remember his own birthday. Coupled with his previous precarious existence, he had never celebrated his own birthday.

After finding his younger sister, he never thought about this incident and just continued living like that.

However, my younger sister recently started attending school, and it's the best school for superpowered individuals in St. Joel City. The children there are either exceptionally gifted from a young age, or come from wealthy and powerful families, or both.

It's very likely that he put on a lavish birthday celebration, which made his younger sister want to join in.

But when is my sister's birthday...?

Seeing Gu Ran's silence, the younger sister said somewhat dejectedly, "If brother doesn't agree, I'll just skip my birthday celebration..."

"No, how could that be?" Gu Ran patted his sister's head. "Brother was just thinking about which day would be better."

Both of them were orphans who lost their parents at a young age, and neither of them knew their own birthday.

Thinking of this, Gu Ran felt no sadness, but instead smiled.

“We siblings are really destined to be together,” Gu Ran said after thinking for a moment. “Then let’s celebrate tomorrow.”

My little sister blinked her big eyes and said happily, "Yay!"

But then, she asked curiously, "When is my brother's birthday? I want to celebrate his birthday too!"

Gu Ran was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's tomorrow too. We'll celebrate our birthdays together tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the day we meet.

This day is also the day we were both reborn.

From now on, it will be our shared birthday.

Although his younger sister couldn't understand it yet, Gu Ran knew that this day had special significance for the two siblings; it wasn't a real birthday, but it felt just like one.

"Is anyone bullying you at school?" Gu Ran felt she should pay more attention to her younger sister.

"No."

"No? Your brother doesn't like children who lie."

"Really, no... it's just that other people and teachers were giving me weird looks... it's like they don't like me," the younger sister muttered.

"Maybe it's because I'm too stupid. All those fancy moves they know, I... don't know."

Gu Ran frowned slightly, then he understood.

He sent his sister to the best superpower school in St. Joel City. Those who could get into this school were either geniuses who had awakened rare superpowers from a young age or had very powerful family backgrounds.

Most of these children's elders know each other and have played together since they were little, forming their own little group. The younger sister was a transfer student, and because she is not familiar with outsiders and is a bit introverted, she was isolated.

The teachers at the school knew each student's background and talent like the back of their hand. Although he got in through connections with the Todwell family, it was only a nominal connection.

The younger sister had neither extraordinary talent nor a distinguished family background in the eyes of those teachers, so she was definitely not taken seriously.

All these factors combined led to the younger sister experiencing isolation and emotional abuse.

No wonder my sister doesn't like going to school and feels abandoned; it turns out she's lost her sense of security.

Thinking about this, Gu Ran couldn't help but reflect.

Although he sent his sister to the best school in St. Joel, was it really the best for her?

......

the next day.

Gu Ran stopped borrowing books from the St. John's University library and instead helped her sister transfer schools.

This time, Gu Ran chose a school that didn't have as many "future social elites." The students there had much more ordinary backgrounds, weren't as fond of forming cliques, and had a much higher turnover rate.

So my sister's transfer here was just a very ordinary little thing, and she quickly settled in.

Seeing the smile on her younger sister's face as she made friends, Gu Ran couldn't help but feel much happier.

Then it was my birthday that night.

Gu Ran went to a cake shop to order a birthday cake for the evening, and then went to a gift shop to prepare a birthday gift for her younger sister.

After browsing around, Gu Ran was not very satisfied. Finally, after thinking for a moment, he went into a weapon shop.

night.

"Ta-da! Come and see the birthday cake your brother prepared for you."

Gu Ran lowered his hand from his sister's eyes and smiled as he showed off the birthday party he had meticulously arranged.

The entire living room was decorated in a girly pink by Gu Ran, and was filled with colorful balloons.

In the middle of the living room, a very delicate cream cake was placed on the table, with a few small burning candles stuck on it.

The cake has a cute cartoon pink cat design in the middle.

Sure enough, the little sister fell in love with it at first sight: "It's so cute! I love it! Thank you, brother!"

mua——

The younger sister couldn't help but hug her brother's cheek and kiss him.

Gu Ran touched her cheek and said with a smile, "Come on, blow out the candles. Make a wish before you blow them out."

The younger sister immediately closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, saying, "My brother and I will never be separated! We'll be together forever and ever!"

"If you say your wish out loud, it won't come true."

"Oh no?" The younger sister panicked immediately. "Then, what should we do? Does that mean my brother will leave me?"

Tears instantly filled my eyes.

"Just close your eyes again and make a wish in your heart." Gu Ran wiped away the tears from the corners of her sister's eyes with her fingers. "You really are a crybaby."

The younger sister immediately closed her eyes again and made the same wish in her heart once more.

"Alright, blow out the candles." Gu Ran said with a smile when he saw his sister open her eyes after making a wish.

"Brother, you haven't made a wish yet. Isn't today our birthday celebration together?"

Gu Ran was taken aback, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll agree."

After a while, seeing Gu Ran open his eyes, his younger sister asked curiously, "What did you wish for, brother? Was it the same as mine?"

"No." Gu Ran gently pinched his sister's nose. "Wishes won't come true if you say them out loud. Alright, hurry up and blow out the candles."

"Oh," the younger sister said somewhat reluctantly.

Gu Ran watched with a smile as her sister blew out the candles.

His wish was indeed different from his sister's, because his wish was that "his sister could always be healthy and happy."

"Alright, let's start cutting the cake now."

Gu Ran took out a box, opened it, and inside was a specially made knife.

"This is also a birthday gift for you."

The younger sister took out the small knife and looked at it curiously. There was a line of small writing on it that read "For my younger sister Gu Qingqing," but she didn't recognize it yet.
