Previously, the ‘gifts’ that he had received from Jian Yiling were either her tears, her snot, or her urine… She had soaked a pair of his pants!

The best gift he had received was probably the 5 red pockets of $8.80 that Jian Yiling had given him when she was sick.

“Oh my goodness, I’m so jealous!” Luo Xun cried out as he gathered around Jian Yumin. He curiously gazed at the paper bag in Jian Yumin’s hands.

“I’m also jealous! This isn’t fair! Why aren’t we getting any congratulatory gifts? Ahh, this isn’t fair at all!”

“Yeah! This hurts man! Today’s celebratory banquet suddenly doesn’t smell as delicious anymore!”

One by one, the members of the band expressed their envy and jealousy.

This wasn’t fair. They didn’t have a younger sister. Let alone a younger sister that was caring and considerate who prepared gifts for their brother!

Luo Xun kept nagging Jian Yumin. He had to see what gift Jian Yumin had gotten from Jian Yiling.

Finally, under Luo Xun’s persistence, Jian Yumin opened the gift in front of everyone.

There were two things inside of the paper bag.

One was a sweater. The turtleneck sweater was crimson red in color.

Typically, most men didn’t wear crimson red as the color didn’t look good on them. However, the color suited Jian Yumin incredibly well.

The second item was a black woolen hat.

Although the design of the items was not complicated, the gifts could withstand careful appreciation.

“Oh my, I really like the gifts Yiling! Thank you very much!” Jian Yumin cried out. The smile on his face was dazzling.

It was nice to have such a considerate sister!

“Jian Yiling knitted this,” Jian Yujie emphasized. He was worried that Jian Yumin would assume that the gifts were bought by Jian Yiling.

He added this because he had received a similar gift.

“Oh my!” Luo Xun exclaimed.

He was already jealous to see Jian Yumin receive a gift. However now, he was told that Jian Yiling had knitted the gift herself. Upon this realization, he became ultra jealous.

Jian Yumin stroked the sweater with both of his hands. The expression on his face was full of happiness. This made the other members want to smack the smile off his face.

Jian Yuncheng couldn’t refrain from becoming jealous as well.

He also had a sweater that was knitted by Jian Yiling. However, Jian Yumin had gotten a hat as well! No one else had gotten a hat! This gift was unique and unmatched!

After this, Jian Yiling took another paper bag out of her backpack. It was slightly smaller than the other paper bag.

There were more bags?

Jian Yiling handed the smaller paper bag to Luo Xun:

“Here you go.”

Luo Xun was so surprised that he pointed at his nose to confirm with Jian Yiling, “For me?”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling answered in a low voice.

Upon hearing Jian Yiling’s reply, Luo Xun immediately took the paper bag from her hands.

When he opened the paper bag, he saw a hand-knitted woolen hat. It was the same color and style as the one that Jian Yumin had received.

All of a sudden, Luo Xun felt overwhelmed with happiness.

“Oh my goodness! Yiling knitted me a hat as well!”

It was now Jian Yumin’s turn to be upset, “Hey, crybaby, why did you give a gift to this kid? Just give one to me. Forget about him. He’s not important.”

The remaining two members of Jupiter were even more unhappy, “Why does Luo Xun get a gift?”

Jian Yumin was Jian Yiling’s cousin. It was fair that he received a gift. The only thing they could do was envy and hate him for it.

However, Luo Xun was just like the two of them? So why did only Luo Xun get a gift?

Was it because Jian Yiling was a fan of his as well?

Yu Xi was also dumbfounded as he watched the scene in front of him. What was going on? Did Yiling really give a man who she hasn’t met many times a woolen hat that she had knitted by herself?

Why was this the case? He’s known God Ling for so long already! Even to this day, he hadn’t gotten a gift!

What was this situation?

Was it because Luo Xun was charming? Was it because he knows how to dance and sing?

Could God Ling not withstand Luo Xun’s charm?

Then, Yu Xi took a look at the other people at the table. He noticed that Jian Yuncheng, Jian Yumin, and Jian Yujie’s expressions were no longer friendly.
