Matsuda Jinpei was thinking about Ogiwara Chisato and Kenji, and as soon as he arrived at the Ogiwara house, he couldn't wait to run up to them.

He was still small, so reaching the doorbell was a bit difficult for him. He simply stood on tiptoe, stretched out his arm, and pressed the doorbell down hard.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!" The crisp sound of the doorbell rang in the quiet courtyard.

A moment later, the door hinges turned, making a slight creaking sound, and the door was slowly pulled open from the inside.

Kenji Ogihara opened the door. The little boy was wearing a light blue cotton pajamas. The fabric was a bit faded from washing, but it was very clean.

His face was paler than usual, and his eyes were slightly red, as if he had just been crying. There was also a hint of sadness between his brows.

Upon seeing Matsuda Jinpei standing outside the door, along with Hayashi Shuichi and Furuya Rei behind him, Ogiwara Kenji was taken aback. His round eyes widened in surprise, clearly not expecting their sudden visit.

After a moment of stunned silence, a flicker of unexpected joy flashed in his dim eyes, and his voice was slightly hoarse from crying.
"Jinping? And Xiuyi-ge and Zero, what brings you here?"

"Idiot, it's my birthday today!"

Matsuda Jinpei rushed to the door and grabbed Ogihara Kenji's wrist.

"You haven't forgotten, have you? We already agreed that you'd spend my birthday with me!"

"How could I forget?"

Kenji Ogihara quickly shook his head vigorously, a sheepish smile on his face. "I've already prepared my birthday present."

"Great!"

Matsuda Jinpei excitedly shook his friend's arm, eagerly trying to pull him towards the door.
"Then come to my house quickly, let's prepare for the birthday party together! By the way, where's Sister Qiansu? I haven't seen her."

Kenji Ogihara stumbled as he was pulled, but quickly steadied himself, pointed to the direction behind the house, and whispered, "My sister is at the auto repair shop. She said she has something to do and told me to wait for her at home."

"I'm going to find her right now!"

Upon hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei immediately released Ogihara Kenji, left a message, and then ran towards the back of the house like a gust of wind.

"Wait! My sister is..."

Seeing this, Kenji Ogihara quickly reached out to stop him.

But Matsuda Jinpei ran too fast; before he could finish speaking, the other person had already disappeared around the corner.

Lin Xiuyi stood aside, taking in the entire scene.
He gently patted Kenji Ogihara on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone, "It's okay, let's go take a look too, so that Jinpei doesn't cause too much trouble for Chisato."

Kenji Ogiwara nodded and, with Shuichi Hayashi and Rei Furuya, walked along the path behind the house toward the repair shop.

The path was overgrown with weeds, and occasionally a few butterflies would fly by. A faint smell of engine oil filled the air.

As soon as I approached the repair shop, I heard Matsuda Jinpei's slightly coquettish voice shouting loudly inside.

"Sister Qiansu, Sister Qiansu! Please come home with me, it's my birthday today!"

"My dad has to go to work during the day, so there's no one to cook for us. I really want to eat your curry, it's even better than my dad's!"

Immediately afterwards, Ogiwara Chisato's voice rang out, a voice that was both helpless and somewhat indulgent.
"I told you, it's not possible now."

Through the crack in the factory door, you could see her squatting on the ground, fiddling with something while holding a wrench.
"I have very important things to do right now, I can't leave." "Are you assembling a bicycle?"

Matsuda Jinpei moved closer to her, curiously examined the parts on the ground, and immediately volunteered to raise his hand.
"Then let me help you! I'm very strong, I can help you hand over tools and tighten screws!"

"No, this is..."

Ogiwara Chisato looked up, her eyes flickering. She seemed about to say something, but hesitated, ultimately just shaking her head and lowering her head again to continue her work.
"You can't help, so don't make things worse."

At this moment, Lin Xiuyi and the others pushed open the door of the repair shop and went inside.

The empty factory building had no vehicles waiting for repair, making it seem rather deserted.

The walls were covered with various car repair tools, with wrenches, screwdrivers, and pliers neatly arranged, and some parts and tires were piled on the ground.

It's clear that business here is really bad; it's quite sluggish.

Matsuda Jinpei was clinging to Ogihara Chisato, begging her to help with chores. One moment he reached for a wrench, the next he was fiddling with the parts on the floor.

Lin Xiuyi looked at Ogihara Kenji's hesitant expression and then looked down at the half-assembled bicycle on the ground.

Although the parts on the car were somewhat old, they were wiped clean, and Lin Xiuyi immediately realized what was going on.

It seems that Chisato Ogiwara is assembling a bicycle by hand as a birthday gift for Jinpei Matsuda.

Seeing that Ogiwara Chizuru looked troubled, not wanting Matsuda Jinpei to discover the secret of the gift, yet unsure how to get rid of him,

Lin Xiuyi stepped forward at the right moment and helped her out of the predicament: "It's really too hot today, Ling. Why don't you take Zhenping and Yan'er to the nearby supermarket and buy some drinks and popsicles?"

As he spoke, he took out a ten-thousand-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to Furuya Rei.

Rei Furuya took the money and immediately grabbed Jinpei Matsuda and Kenji Ogiwara's hands excitedly: "Let's go, let's go and come back quickly!"

Matsuda Jinpei glanced at Hayashi Hideaki with suspicion, stopped in his tracks, and his small face was full of vigilance.
"Brother Xiuyi, you wouldn't be thinking of taking this opportunity to be alone with Sister Qiansu, would you?"

"I've said it before, Qiansu is mine, and I'm definitely going to marry her someday!"

Lin Xiuyi found these childish words quite amusing.

Ogiwara Chisato's face turned red, her hand gripping the wrench tightened, her eyes filled with shame and anger, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.

"You brat, who are you to say that?!" Ogiwara Chisato reached out to smack Matsuda Jinpei on the head. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"

"Sister Qiansu, it's my birthday today!"

Upon seeing this, Matsuda Jinpei quickly took a step back, covered his head with his hands, and said with a grin,
"You can't get beaten up on your birthday, or you'll have bad luck all year!"

Ogiwara Chisato's hand froze in mid-air. Looking at his adorable yet infuriating appearance, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to hit him.

Seeing this, Matsuda Jinpei quickly seized the opportunity to laugh and ran towards the exit of the repair shop, not forgetting to shout back loudly as he did so.
"Sister Qiansu, you're even prettier when you're not making a face! I'll eat your curry when I get back!"

Rei Furuya and Kenji Ogiwara quickly followed, and the footsteps and laughter of the three kids gradually faded into the distance, leaving the empty repair shop instantly quiet. (End of Chapter)
