“That’s right! Today is Kirk’s birthday as well! Going back to Xeno, when I told him about the celebration, Xeno told me that he wasn’t free to attend today!”
Kirk was another of their junior high classmates. Though he was a pretty honest and straightforward person, academic-wise, he was always at the bottom of the class.
His family owned a cement factory and since he realized he wasn’t cut out for studying, he immediately started working for his family after graduating from junior high school.
Everyone was now looking at Kirk.
“Well d*mn! Why didn’t you tell us it was your birthday today too, Kirk? Well this is embarrassing! Hahaha!” said Chase.
“So it’s your birthday today too! Everyone, let’s add Kirk on WeChat so that we can each give him a red envelope for his birthday!”
Hearing the suggestion from one of their classmates, the crowd cheered in agreement.
Mr. Weiss simply smiled before saying, “Why don’t you young people give gifts as birthday presents anymore? When I was your age, I had to prepare my own gifts to give to other people! Now that we have WeChat, things have become much more convenient!”
“They really have, Mr. Weiss! We can just send red envelopes to settle everything! From birthdays, to wedding celebrations!” replied the girls as they laughed.
“I’ve already added you on WeChat, Kirk! Remember to accept the red envelope!”
“Alright, alright! Thank you so much, everyone! I really hadn’t expected my birthday to be on the same day as Chase’s!”
Seeing how well he was being treated by all his classmates, Kirk was feeling extremely flattered. He kept thanking them over and over again.
“What a coincidence! While Kirk and Chase share the same birth date, someone else does as well! Have you all already forgotten who else used to celebrate his birthday on the same day as Chase back in junior high?” said Lolita hurriedly when she saw everyone sending money over to Kirk for his birthday.
“Who? Nobody really comes to mind!”
