I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

“Li Xiaoling?” Chen Hao couldn’t help but smile when he saw the girl.

Li Xiaoling grew up with Chen Hao, Li Xiao, and the rest of them. Come to think about it, she was probably from the same Li clan as Li Xiao, so she was practically his sister. However, Li Xiaoling came from a family that was reasonably well off; her family owned shops in the town, selling cakes and pastry, which was why she often stayed in town and rarely went back home.

On top of that, at that time, Chen Hao and Li Xiao were both poor, so they didn’t dress well. Therefore, Li Xiao rarely hung out with Chen Hao and Li Xiao. Although they were classmates in elementary school, they rarely talked with each other. As a result, she was not that close with the both of them, unlike Wu Qian.

It was during their junior high school years when they got close with each other. Coincidentally, Li Xiaoling ended up in the same class as Li Xiao and Chen Hao.

During the first and second year of junior high school, she didn’t talk much to Chen Hao and Li Xiao, but in their third year, something happened.

Li Xiaoling quarelled with another girl, and the quarrel was very heated. Then, that girl asked a few hooligans from their year to cause Li Xiaoling trouble; after school, they blocked Li Xiaoling on her way back home and wanted to teach her a lesson.

When Li Xiao and Chen Hao saw this, they pulled Li Xiaoling away. Chen Hao wasn’t really well-known at that time, but Li Xiao was known for fighting in school, which was why that group of people didn’t dare to do anything to Li Xiaoling. So, that was how they rescued Li Xiaoling.

Since then, Li Xiaoling treated Chen Hao and Li Xiao very well and they became friends; she even secretly bought Li Xiao cigarettes and brought steamed sponge cakes for Chen Hao to eat.

For her high school years, she entered No. 3 High School, which was the school that was ranked the lowest in the entire county. Besides, during their high school days, they didn’t own cell phones. As a result, they couldn’t contact each other very often; all they could do was to gather during Chinese New Year for chit-chats.

“When did you get back? And why didn’t you send me a QQ message?” Li Xiaoling said grudgingly.

“I’ve been back for a few days, but I’ve been wandering around in town. I was about to ask Li Xiao for your phone number,” Chen Hao replied with a smile. This was the truth; these were the people who were going to spend his birthday with him.

Oh right, haven’t you been reading the group chat messages for our junior high school gang? Uh, I forgot, you aren’t in the group, are you? Today is our classmate Chen Chao’s birthday. He realized that our class had not gathered in a long time.
