Before Ran showed up, I had this kind of happiness. Every birthday, Ethan would make me a cake, and Leo would excitedly fill the room with balloons. Even though my parents were not around, I never felt lonely with them around. But this year, it was different.

Looking at the empty and lifeless living room, I don't know where I lost to Ran . Qingmei, is it really no match for the one who came from heaven?

Just when I was a little confused, my cell phone rang. It was Leo 's call. As soon as he picked up the phone, he said in an imperative tone: "Today is Ran's birthday. She wants to invite you to come over and play! Come quickly, don't spoil Ran 's fun!" After that, he hung up the phone, as if he had given an order, and I would definitely go.

I was distracted and randomly pressed the remote control without paying attention. During the day, Ran held flowers and deliberately showed them off in front of me. I didn't believe she would really be kind enough to invite me to her birthday party.

However, half an hour later, the phone rang again. This time, Leo 's voice was obviously much more impatient. " Yoyo , why haven't you arrived yet? You're taking too long!" "Where are you? Send me your location! Can you be quicker?"

I calmly replied, "I'm at home. I'm not going out."

"What?!" Leo on the other end of the phone was furious. "Are you sick? We've been waiting for you for half an hour! You said you can't come?" "Besides, it's Ran who invited you personally this time!" "She remembered that you and she have the same birthday, and she was afraid that you would be lonely at home. But you are so shameless!"

I heard Ethan complaining on the phone as well.

"I said, I'm not going!" I hung up the phone without hesitation, not wanting to care about them anymore. This time, it was Ethan who called. Looking at the flickering screen, I simply threw my phone on the sofa and got up to do housework. After all, I have already made an appointment with the agent, and someone will come to see the house tomorrow.

However , just as I was mopping the floor, there was a violent knock on the door. I thought it was the agent, but when I opened the door, I found that it was Leo and Ethan . Behind them, Ran was standing with a smile on his face .

"Happy birthday, Yoyo! The cake Leo made for me this time is too big for us to finish, so I thought of bringing it here to celebrate your birthday with you." Ran picked up the half-eaten cake in her hand and smiled at me with narrowed eyes. Thank her so much! Bring the unfinished cake here to celebrate my birthday with me!

Ran coldly , pursed my lips, and said, "No, I'm not celebrating my birthday this year." Unexpectedly , as soon as I finished speaking, Ran patted Leo 's hand coquettishly and complained, " Leo , it's all your fault! I told you that Yoyo would definitely not like this half cake." "Or, I'll go downstairs now and buy another one for Yoyo ." As he said that, Ran turned around and pretended to go buy a cake, but his movements were very slow, and he retracted his hand three times when pressing the elevator button.

Until Ethan's voice rang out, "It's okay, it's just a birthday cake! Yoyo, when did you become so pretentious?" "Come on, come in, come in, Yoyo lives alone, it's just right that we can have some fun tonight!" As he said that, Ethan grabbed Ran's hand and dragged her into the house without my consent.
