Lin Ke Song: Received

Ah, Song Yi Ran’s birthday…he never had any shortages of gifts But the parties held by his friends, Lin Ke Song hardly participated in

The reason hen his group of hedonistic sons of rich parents gathered together, Lin Ke Song and their painting styles were very distant to each other Only Song Yi Ran see in New York This time he invited her to his birthday party, it was perhaps because Song Yi Ran’s friends are no longer the ones from before

At previous birthdays, Song Yi ran would always invite Lin Ke Song out to eat in advance Sometimes they would barbecue, and other times hot pot- it was almost as if the birthday was an excuse to ask her to eat her favourite things

This guy would also shamelessly ask her for a birthday present each time

She remembered that the first time her invited her to eat seafood, as soon as they sat down he stretched out a hand towards Lin Ke Song and asked, “Ah, it’s my birthday Where is my present?”

“Do not use the word ‘follow’, my uncle’s restaurant in New York”

“Oh, so you are here to help out with your uncle’s restaurant and Song Yi Ran is here to study Even if it is foreign lands and places, the two of you can still be together It lances at the cake in Lin Ke Song’s hands then took it with a s it over to a waiter by the side, “I didn’t think you would even bring a cake But there may be no way to blow the candles and cut the cake here, since there are too uests and your cake is too small”
