LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 65.2 – Birthday , Conspiracy?
〚 No, it wasn’t… 〛
“Then how do you know her!?”
〚 Um… I… 〛
The mother on the other end of the call fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said: 〚 Dear Husband~ Come quickly, help me! 〛
Then Chen Ling’s most feared person, his father, Chen Xing’s voice resounded:
〚 What’s wrong? Is it Chen Ling? 〛
〚 Is the little brat bored with life? 〛
Chen Ling immediately felt intimidated. “Ahem, Dad, I wanted to ask…”
〚 No, you don’t want to. 〛
Chen Ling: =.=…
He knew it. Once this call reached his father, he wouldn’t be able to ask anything.
〚 Alright, happy birthday. But we’re not celebrating now, we’re playing in the Eternal Plane. 〛
Chen Ling in his mind: “Heh… Thank you for your birthday wishes! I’m happy and touched.”
〚 By the way, your sister also has her birthday today. Wish her a happy birthday for me. I heard you even blocked her. Seems like you’re getting itchy. 〛
Chen Ling: Sigh~ Damn it… Aren’t they supposed to favor boys over girls? Why is it the opposite with him?
“I’ll immediately restore her contact information.”
Chen Xing: 〚 Hmm, you can reach out to her yourself. 〛
〚 Hang up. 〛
Zero: 〚 Wait, wait, Husband! Let me say one more thing! 〛
〚 Chen Chen~ Mommy loves you~ 〛
Chen Ling was speechless: “Yeah, yeah, whatever, I love you too.”
〚 When you come back, we’ll definitely come to pick you up! 〛
Chen Ling in his mind: There’s really no need for that!
But he dared not say that. His old man was definitely listening in on the side!
“Alright~” The call ended, and Chen Ling narrowed his eyes as he looked at Sui Li’er. His mother Zero’s words, “Little Li’er’s plane,” definitely referred to Sui Li’er!
But why did his own parents know about Sui Li’er? Have they met? Are they monitoring him? Could it be that they were plotting all this? But why? Why did they make him come to this plane, and why did it have to be Sui Li’er? If it was a plot, then ten years ago, were they already planning it?
That’s impossible. Ten years ago, they had never even seen Sui Li’er. And his mother’s words made it sound like they had known Sui Li’er for a long time!
This was a puzzle whose solution he couldn’t even guess.
“Chen Ling?” Seeing him continuously staring at her, Sui Li’er couldn’t help but tilt her head curiously and ask, “What’s wrong?”
Chen Ling shook his head without saying a word and continued to ponder.
“By the way, I heard you say earlier that your mom seems to know me?” Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling with curiosity.
Chen Ling shook his head, “I don’t know either, but it seems like she really does know.”
“Hehe, can I go to your house to play then?”
“Not allowed.”
“Oh, okay…”
Chen Ling furrowed his brows and glanced at her, but he couldn’t focus on her right now. He just wanted to figure out what was going on. This was just too unbelievable.
His sister, Chen Ling suddenly remembered his sister. Perhaps she knew something.
He knew his sister better than anyone else, so a little favor should get her to talk. He decided to find her.
But Sui Li’er suddenly spoke up, “Is today your birthday? I heard you mention birthday wishes earlier.”
While operating the system, Chen Ling casually replied, “Yeah, I’m turned 18.”
“Hehe, happy birthday, Chen Ling!”
Chen Ling replied flatly, “I don’t like celebrating birthdays.”
“Oh, okay~ Hehe… I didn’t expect you to be younger than me~”
“Heh, I’m younger than you? That’s impossible.”
“Hehe~ I just remembered, the day I met you was actually my birthday!”
Chen Ling: “So how does an orphan like you have a birthday?”
Sui Li’er: ??? “You’re so rude!”
“Ahem… I’m sorry.”
“Hmph, forget it. I forgive you! The director said that when I appeared at the orphanage’s doorstep, there was a piece of paper with my birth date written on it.”
“But it’s been so long since I celebrated my birthday that I forgot about it. When I heard you mention it, it jogged my memory.”
“Wait a minute.” Sui Li’er suddenly showed a pleasantly surprised expression and looked at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling simply replied, “What’s wrong?”
Sui Li’er smiled sweetly, “Doesn’t that make you the gift that fell from the sky for my birthday!?”
“Wow! So you’re the first gift in my life! And it’s a birthday gift!”
〚 Ding~ Target feels happy, +100,000 points! 〛
“Hehe~ In that case, my birthday is a few days earlier than yours. Shouldn’t you call me ‘sister’? Hehehe…” As Sui Li’er spoke, she couldn’t suppress her laughter.
Chen Ling rolled his eyes, “You’re thinking too much. Our dimensional time is different. Who’s older and who’s younger is not the same.”
“Huh? What do you mean…” Sui Li’er couldn’t understand at all.
Chen Ling replied calmly, “Never mind if you don’t understand.”
What he said was indeed true.
But someday in the future, when Chen Ling goes back to trace the origins, he will discover to his astonishment that when his dimension and the dimension of the magic plane align in time, he and Sui Li’er were born on the same day, at the same hour, the same minute, and even the same second.
They were born simultaneously in two different dimensions.
After pondering for a while, Sui Li’er couldn’t figure it out and decided to stop thinking about it. “Never mind~ In any case, you’re my birthday gift! Hehe! I’m so happy!”
Hearing her words, Chen Ling suddenly remembered something. He couldn’t help but furrow his brow and thought, Could it be… my parents didn’t treat me as a birthday gift and give me away, did they? Those two… shouldn’t have gone to such extremes, right?
What he didn’t realize was that the situation was far more complicated than that. And his sister likely knew the truth!
So he took a deep breath, removed his sister from the block list, and dialed her number.
He said to Sui Li’er, “Wait for me a moment, I’ll contact my sister.”
“Okay!” Sui Li’er obediently nodded.
〚 Brother! Happy birthday~ Hehehe~ You finally decided to let me out of the little black room. How mean! 〛
Upon hearing her voice, Chen Ling couldn’t help but feel helpless and casually said, “Happy birthday.”
〚 Got it! You be happy too! By the way, have you seen your sister-in-law? 〛
Chen Ling narrowed his eyes.
