The sun blazed down on the earth like a fiery furnace as Wen Sheng looked up for a moment.
The current ghosts couldn’t stand the brightness; the sun was a bit too glaring. It would be better to turn around and take a look at Wang Lijuan and the others, perhaps they could provide some eye candy. Wen Sheng thought to himself, unable to resist glancing back at the upright figure of Wang Lijuan.
“She looks a bit like a Chinese female soldier! Such an enticing figure!” Wen Sheng chuckled to himself.
“What? What Chinese female soldier?” Gao Ming asked, puzzled. Seeing Wen Sheng turn around, he followed suit.
“Exactly like one! Haha! Standing tall and waiting for inspection! Haha!” Gao Ming laughed heartily as he turned back, “Stop standing there like an idiot, are you waiting for a Chinese leader to inspect you? Just to show off your figure, right? There won’t be any more selection of consorts now, even in beauty contests you’re overdressed, haha!”
“You son of a gun, Gao Ming! You jerk! Can’t I just express my feelings?” Wang Lijuan shouted back defiantly.
“Yeah! Gao Ming! You invited us out and then ran off, making us pay! You still have the nerve! There’s some water in that pit ahead; why don’t you just drown yourself in it?” Wen Ling chimed in with laughter.
“Sure! It’s not like I’ve spent money this time, right? I don’t even have a brother left; it’s just you, Gao Ming. If I play her once more without spending money, will you just call me ‘bro’ directly and kill off the ‘Ming’ part too? That’s just how you girls are! If there’s money to spend, then it’s ‘bro’!” Gao Ming lamented with a grin.
“Hehe! Exactly! Who would call you ‘bro’ without some benefits? It’s all about what you can offer.” Wen Ling said proudly.
“Speechless!” Gao Ming lowered his head and asked Wen Sheng, “What do you think is more beneficial for them to call you ‘bro’ or having money?”
“You’re just throwing out useless chatter! Money is definitely more beneficial. As for ‘bro’, well, it depends on how they want to call it; there are many variations! Haha!” Wen Sheng grinned mischievously.
“Right, you always manage to find some logic in things! After hearing you say that, I really do understand a bit more.” Gao Ming pretended to be enlightened.
“Oh! If you understand, then you won’t lose!” Wen Sheng secretly glanced back at the three girls walking slowly behind them.
Gao Ming felt somewhat confused because he always sensed that Wen Sheng's words had deeper meanings. It seemed like there was something hidden behind them.
“Alright, I’ll find some time tonight to deliver the gift for Wen Xin. This way, I won’t cause you any trouble! What do you think we should buy?” Gao Ming asked with concern for Wen Xin.
“A simple stuffed doll will do, just spend around ten bucks. Girls love those things! Just return the leftover money to Uncle Heng; it’s tough for anyone to scrape together cash these days!” Wen Sheng sighed deeply.
“Actually, Uncle Heng is quite proud. Giving him back the leftover money would be like slapping him in the face! You don’t understand this yet; just wait a while before giving it to him!” Gao Ming spoke with the wisdom of someone experienced in the ways of the world.
“I’ll always owe you guys a favor! I don’t even know how I’ll repay it in the future! With Xiang Shu gone, I might never be able to repay this debt!” Wen Sheng sighed heavily again.
“Now isn’t the time for that; we’re all brothers here!” Gao Ming said with a touch of emotion.
“Yeah! Honestly, you’re even better than my own brother!” Wen Sheng replied, feeling a bit sentimental.
“Of course! That’s what brothers are for!” Gao Ming said as he put his arm around Wen Sheng’s shoulder sincerely.
“No, I’ll remember this. When I have the chance in the future, I will repay you,” Wen Sheng said firmly, though he was uncertain about what his future held. He knew that promises came with responsibilities.
“I will definitely repay you in the future!” Wen Sheng insisted with determination.
“I’m not looking for any repayment from you; just acknowledge that I’m your older brother,” Gao Ming replied generously.
Indeed, even though they had no blood relation, their bond was as strong as that of real brothers. They tried their best not to cause each other unnecessary trouble and cherished their friendship. Wen Sheng thought about this.
At that moment, three girls came running up from behind.
“I’ll chip in for Wen Xin’s gift too!” Wang Lijuan said generously.
“I still have five bucks!” Qin added shyly.
“I only have one dollar!” Wen Ling said, her face slightly flushed with embarrassment.
“No need for that, girl. It’s just a birthday. You don’t have to take it so seriously. I just think she has been through a lot and I want to find a chance to make her happy,” Wen Sheng replied calmly.
“She’s our sister; it’s only right to buy her something. I like her a lot!” Wang Lijuan insisted earnestly. “As for you two, don’t worry about spending money. Just come along and join the fun!”
“Really?” Wen Ling and Qin exchanged glances, feeling a bit shy. “We wouldn’t want to impose!”
“What’s there to feel shy about? You two don’t have much money anyway! If I spend a little, consider it as if you both contributed too! It’s settled,” Wang Lijuan said with a commanding tone.
“Well, since that’s the case, I have no objections!” Wen Ling said smoothly, going along with it.
“Exactly!” Qin chimed in with a bright smile.
“Hey! You two?” Wang Lijuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Even Wen Sheng chuckled at this; he thought Wen Ling was quite clever!
Time passed quickly, and by the time school was over in the afternoon, Wen Sheng and Gao Ming had just stepped out of the school gate when Changqing caught up from behind. “Where are you off to in such a hurry?”
“We’re going to buy some gifts for Wen Xin’s birthday!” Gao Ming replied, his enthusiasm infectious.
“Count me in!” Changqing said, mirroring Gao Ming's excitement.
“Alright, Wen Sheng doesn’t need to come along; we’ll manage just fine without him! He might just get in the way,” Gao Ming said, pulling Changqing aside while addressing Wen Sheng. “Changqing and I will go shopping; you don’t mind, do you?”
“I do!” Wen Sheng laughed.
"Having it or not, it doesn't matter!" Gao Ming replied cheerfully.
"No way! You can't just leave me behind!" Wen Sheng pretended to be unhappy.
"I'll take care of it, my opinion is reserved!" Gao Ming said, pulling Changqing along and ignoring Wen Sheng.
"You should go home first! After we finish shopping, we'll bring it to you! Aren't you worried?" Changqing chimed in.
Gao Ming and Changqing, along with Wang Lijuan and Wen Ling, as well as Qian and Lan Lan, all insisted that Wen Sheng couldn't come along.
It was Wen Xin's birthday. That morning, her mother had boiled a few eggs for her. Originally, her mother had planned to buy her some new clothes, but ended up getting scolded by her father. Embracing the aggrieved Wen Xin, her mother's face showed a helpless expression.
They were waiting for a moment of warmth, a birthday surprise.
As the evening breeze gently blew, Wen Xin leaned against Wen Sheng, watching the red sun gradually set in the west. A faint smile appeared on Wen Xin's youthful face as she tilted her head back to gaze at the lonely sky.
