One week before the college entrance examination happened to be Chen Xiaonian's birthday. Her eighteenth birthday was also a coming-of-age ceremony, so the Lin and Chen families held a grand birthday party for Chen Xiaonian. They also wished her in advance that she would get what she wanted in the college entrance examination and get a title on the gold list.
Chen Xiaonian looked at the pile of gifts and always felt that something was missing. What was missing? He didn't receive a gift from Brother Lin Qi. Not only was there no gift, he didn't even get a phone call. He would never forget his birthday every year before.
Throwing the half-opened gift aside, he turned his back and threw himself hard on the soft bed. Feeling that he still wasn't calming down, he started to roll with a groan.
"It's really annoying! Brother Lin Qi is a nuisance!"
When Chen's mother opened the door, she saw her daughter rolling around and muttering. She secretly recorded it with her mobile phone and sent it to the WeChat group.
"Ahem!"
Chen's mother cleared her throat, and Chen Xiaonian immediately sat up, looking like a good girl.
"Mom, why didn't you knock on the door?"
The appearance just now must have been recorded by her. Zhimu Mo Ruonu, Chen Xiaonian’s guess was right. Not only did she record it, but she also posted it to the group. In this group, there are only Lin Qi’s parents and Chen Xiaonian’s parents. They often post some in the group
Secretly take photos of Lin Qi and Chen Xiaonian making fools of themselves when they were young, or tell some interesting stories.
"I knocked, you didn't hear it."
Mother Chen walked to her daughter and sat down, stroking her head. Her eyes were full of joy. Her daughter had grown up and was taller than her. Yesterday, she was still acting coquettishly and having a bad temper in front of her.
Where is the child?
"Here, this is your adult gift from mom."
Mother Chen took out a long gift box, and it took her a long time to find one that satisfied her. Chen Xiaonian thanked her and opened the box. Inside was a bracelet. The shape was not unique, with a square cornflower sapphire in the middle and broken pieces around it.
Wrapped with diamonds, the chain is made of thin platinum and is low-key yet elegant when worn on the hand.
"Thank you mom!"
Chen Xiaonian hugged Chen's mother and was really grateful to her mother for always loving her.
"Thank you, you are my daughter!"
Tears accumulated in Chen Ma's eyes. She raised her head but still couldn't hold back the tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
"As long as you don't have a husband and forget about mom, it'll be fine."
Mother Chen couldn't help but joked that Chen Xiaonian was the only one who didn't know that the highlight was today's dinner.
"You two didn't take one set apart and give it to me, right?"
In the living room, Chen Xiaonian looked at the necklace her godmother gave her. The pendant was a square sapphire, but she didn't know the type of gemstone very well, so she didn't know if it was the same kind.
"We are in harmony with each other, right?"
Mother Chen rolled her eyes disdainfully, this was a complete coincidence.
Pouring her lips, Chen Xiaonian left two middle-aged women who were having a heated discussion about a recently very famous boy band called Heart and went back to the room. Her gift had not been opened yet. It took her an afternoon to finally open it. Chen Xiaonian
He rubbed his sore fingers and said, "Why are those outsiders joining in on my birthday?"
In the evening at Lin House, a seven-layer cake was placed in the middle of the living room. The elders of the two families and the servants of the family gathered together. Instead of turning on the lights, many candles were lit in the living room. The flickering candlelight added to the birthday atmosphere. The surrounding walls
Balloon ribbons were stuck to the ceiling and pillars, and various bouquets of flowers extended upwards from the stairwell and disappeared on the second floor.
The birthday song sounded, and Chen Xiaonian, who was wearing a white square-neck dress, slowly walked down the stairs. The dark blue belt echoed the gem necklace around her neck. The white kitten heels made Chen Xiaonian, who had never worn high heels, walk very well.
Stable and somewhat elegant.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!"
After everyone sang the birthday song in unison, it was time to make a wish and blow out the candles. Chen Xiaonian clasped his hands in front of his face and silently made a wish: I hope my parents and godfather and godmother are healthy, I hope I can get into the university of my choice, I hope
Brother Lin Qi can appear in front of me immediately.
Chen Xiaonian thought about her last wish, and her cheeks slowly turned rouge. Fortunately, the lights were dim and she was not noticed by others. Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she always felt that something was about to happen.
Raising his head suddenly, Chen Xiaonian saw Lin Qi looking at him with a slight smile through the candlelight. Is this an illusion?
"Nian Nian, happy birthday!"
When Lin Qi came forward, Chen Xiaonian was sure that brother Lin Qi was really back. She covered her mouth and screamed, then rushed forward and hugged Lin Qi tightly, fearing that he would disappear in the next second.
"Brother Lin Qi, you are really back!"
Chen Xiaonian's voice was trembling with disbelief. It was only in the afternoon that she confirmed on the phone that she was abroad.
"It's me, I'm back."
Lin Qi took out his hand and patted Chen Xiaonian's back gently to comfort her, joking, it's her eighteenth birthday. Niannian is an adult, how could he not come back.
After a while, Chen Xiaonian withdrew from Lin Qi's arms, and then she remembered that there were others around her. Her eyes rolled around, and sure enough, they were all snickering. Her face became hotter and hotter, and she quickly took two steps back. Lin Qi took out his pocket.
He took out the ring he had prepared for a long time, opened it, and knelt down on one knee.
"Miss Chen Xiaonian, I have been in love with you for a long time and want to take care of you for the rest of my life and never let you down. I wonder if you are willing to spend the rest of your life with me and never leave me!"
Chen Xiaonian, who was still immersed in the joy of brother Lin Qi's return, raised his head and looked at him in disbelief when he heard these words. Is this a gift he gave to himself? His eyes gradually blurred, and Chen Xiaonian laughed and cried.
"Mr. Lin Qi, I have also liked you for a long time. I hope I can see you every day when I open my eyes in the future..."
Chen Xiaonian was choked up and speechless at this time. Lin Qi took out the ring and put it on the middle finger of Chen Xiaonian's left hand. The plain ring was inlaid with a small diamond.
"It's your turn."
Looking at the ring box handed to him, Chen Xiaonian took out the men's ring and put it on Lin Qi's right middle finger without any hesitation.
"Nian Nian, thank you."
With excited hearts and trembling hands, the two people embraced each other forgetting everything.
"belch!"
Chen Xiaonian's untimely hiccups caused everyone around to laugh, and the two of them quickly separated, with only the hands holding the ring still held together.
"Eat...burp...eat the cake."
Chen Xiaonian wanted to free his hand, but Lin Qi held it tighter. He wanted to truly feel the authenticity of this exciting moment.
The servants cut the cake and distributed it to everyone, while they were eating and teasing Lin Qi and Chen Xiaonian. Then it was time for a dinner party, and they did not forget to set a table for the servants at home. The fun lasted until the early morning.
Lin Qi carried Chen Xiaonian, who was drunk after drinking a little red wine, to her room and gently placed her on the bed. Lin Qi couldn't help but kiss her because of her rosy face.
What to do, this seems not enough. Lin Qi raised his head and shifted his gaze to Chen Xiaonian's slightly pouted lips. They were pink and tender, and they must taste good.
Doing what you think is Lin Qi's usual style of doing things, soft and delicate that makes him unable to extricate himself. For a long time, Lin Qi panted and looked at the sleeping Chen Xiaonian, smiled bitterly on his face, covered her with a quilt and went out.
The cold water on his body gradually took away the anger in his body, and Lin Qi didn't go to bed until three in the morning.
