-Right! It’s my eighteenth birthday the day after tomorrow!-

If it wasn’t for his mother’s reminder, Zhang Che definitely wouldn’t have remembered it. After a short daze, he immediately followed up, “Of course not. I know mom would surely prepare a sumptuous dinner for me on my birthday. That’s why I rushed back home.”

“Don’t worry. Mommy will definitely fix you a table full of your favorite dishes! Come in quickly. It’s already mid-day; I’ll go cook a bowl of noodles for you.”

As expected, Sun Lan smiled even brighter after hearing Zhang Che’s words and quickly pulled him into the flat.

“Xiaoche, how has it been for you, living in the beast world for the past few days? Aren’t you sick of having compressed biscuits everyday? I’ll make some salted vegetables for your next trip. It’s terrible having to swallow compressed biscuits all the time…”

Sun Lan asked about Zhang Che’s time in the beast world as she busied herself in the kitchen. Then she reminded him to look out for his own safety, and not to go too far away from the safety zone, nagging him endlessly.

Zhang Che didn’t find it naggy, however. On the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of being nagged at by someone.

In Zhang Che’s previous life, his parents divorced while he was still young, and he almost never had the chance to experience what a mother’s love was like. Now that he was living his second life, he really enjoyed this kind of lifestyle.

A short while later, Sun Lan came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles. Her kindly smile was plastered on her face all the time, watching Zhang Che wolfing it down.

As Zhang Che ate the noodles, he started telling his mother about his experiences in the beast world. Of course, he only chose the parts that could be talked about. He told her that he was now a Tier Two beastmaster, and she no longer had to worry about the monthly treatment costs of two million dollars.

He didn’t dare to tell his mother that he was already a Tier Three beastmaster, afraid that this piece of news would shock her too badly.

“Our Xiaoche is already a Tier Two Beastmaster?” Sun Lan was surprised. In her heart, she was both worried and happy.

She was happy that Zhang Che’s talent as a beastmaster was pretty good, yet worried that he would venture deeper into the beast world in the future, encountering more dangers.

While they were chatting, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the door, asking, “Auntie, are you home? I’m here to visit you again.”

Zhang Che’s face froze. -Why is Huang Tielan here at my place?

-Not only that, it sounded like this isn’t her first visit here, either!-

On the other hand, Sun Lan sneaked a look at her son before responding and went to open the door.

Once the door was opened, Huang Tielan first greeted Sun Lan politely and asked about her well-being. After that, she saw Zhang Che looking at her curiously from her peripheral vision, the awkwardness immediately struck her.

“Zhang Xiao.. Zhang Che, you’re back!”

Zhang Che didn’t respond, looking at her silently.

Sun Lan noticed the strange atmosphere and hurriedly pulled Huang Tielan in, “Come in, Miss. Thank you for visiting me again.”

Following after, Sun Lan glared at Zhang Che, “You… your classmate is here and you’re not even welcoming her.”

It was only now that Zhang Che stood up and greeted her. He thought inwardly, -Huang Tielan is scary, she even knows to strike indirectly and open a path from my mother’s side!

-Moreover, they seem to be getting along well, with how familiar they are!-

At this moment, Sun Lan led Huang Tielan to the sofa and sat down. She turned her head towards Zhang Che, saying, “Xiaoche, aren’t you thanking Xiaohuang? In the days you weren’t around, Xiaohuang often came to visit and chat with me.”

After a few interactions, Sun Lan’s opinion of Huang Tielan was very different from before.

Putting the matter of her possibly dating her son aside, this miss’s character was really good. She was kind, generous, and well-educated. Other than being a little tall, and a little on the fat side, she was very near perfect.

Of course, now that she saw the reaction between the two, Sun Lan confirmed to herself that her son was not dating this miss at all. Their relationship was probably only that of classmates, perhaps slightly closer.

-This means that this miss has a crush on my son?-

After understanding this, Sun Lan’s view towards Huang Tielan was even better.

Although her external qualifications were a little less than ideal, she was true to her feelings. There weren’t any flaws in her character, either. No one could possibly find it in them to dislike her.

Not only that, Sun Lan even had the thought that if Xiaoche were to really get such a girl as his girlfriend, it didn’t seem bad at all!

After hearing what his mother said, Zhang Che had no choice but to take a serious look at Huang Tielan.

Seeing Zhang Che looking at her way, Huang Tielan immediately felt as if her thoughts were being seen through. She sat upright, mindful about her expression, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

Zhang Che couldn’t help but feel his heart softening when he saw her looking like this. He nodded and smiled at her, “Thank you, Huang Tielan.”

Zhang Che’s smile immediately let Huang Tielan relax. This straightforward miss immediately spoke about her true thoughts, “It’s fine. This is all what I should be doing.”

Zhang Che sighed inwardly, -This really isn’t expected of you, miss…-

Right as the words came out of her mouth, Huang Tielan immediately realized she had said something wrong. Her face flushed red. After that, she remembered about her purpose for coming here and changed the topic, asking, “Auntie, Zhang Che, my purpose for coming here is to invite you to my birthday party. I wonder if you’re free on the day after tomorrow?”

“Ah, right, I invited many of our classmates, too.”

Her last sentence was obviously a cover up. -Did you invite their parents, too?-

After she mustered her courage with much difficulty and stated her intentions, Huang Tielan saw that Sun Lan and Zhang Che’s expressions both became a little strange.

“Aiya, what a coincidence!” Sun Lan looked at Huang Tielan, surprised. She continued, “Our Xiaoche’s birthday is also falls on the day after tomorrow! Excuse me for asking, are you also celebrating your eighteenth birthday?”

Are you also celebrating your eighteenth birthday? Hearing this question, Huang Tielan felt her mind rumbling, feeling an unspeakable surprise overwhelming her. There was only a single thought left in her mind. -Zhang Xiaoche’s birthday is on the same day as me! He’s also turning eighteen! We were born on the exact same day, month, and year!-

The revelation of this shocking coincidence almost made Huang Tielan laugh out loud. She felt that Zhang Xiaoche and her were practically a match made in heaven, a pair designated by fate!

On the other hand, Zhang Che was stunned, too. There were actually such coincidences in the world; his birthday was actually on the exact same day as Huang Tielan?

Not only that, judging from her expression, he guessed that it was even the same year.

-Gods, can you please not be so ridiculous!?

-Miss Tienan (Ironman) will surely overthink things if you put things that way…-
