Chapter 50: Two Gifts
Jiang Xiangyang and Wen Xun returned to City B together as scheduled.
The day after returning to City B, the first meal they had together was a birthday cake. The reason is that on Wen Xun's birthday on July 6 this year, she was still in the final exam and did not celebrate her birthday. After a while, Jiang Xiangyang's birthday on August 20 may be very busy, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to celebrate his birthday. So taking advantage of today, the two of them postponed one and the other advanced, and passed their birthdays together.
Even that seems a bit rushed. Jiang Xiangyang was only free in the morning today, so they had to eat cake in the morning. The light of the birthday candle is very faint and inconspicuous in the sunlight, just two white balls. Wen Xun closed the curtains, and the candlelight became clearer.
Blowing out the birthday candles, they opened their eyes together and smiled at each other.
"Do you think we'll have so much ritual in the future? Wen Xun asked Jiang Xiangyang while taking out the knife, fork and plate from the bag.
"Don't be like this, don't be like this, just talk about the present, the most taboo between couples is to say the future. β
"Who said that?
"It's because we talk too much that we will say when we quarrel - you didn't promise me that before! β
Wen Xun was amused. "Okay, okay, okay, I can't say you, don't ask if you don't ask. β
She took the knife and sliced it in the middle of the cake, and the cream quickly stained the blade. Wen Xun pulled out the knife and slashed a second time. After cutting down a little bit, she suddenly felt as if she had cut something hard, and for a while she thought that an unscrupulous merchant had mixed something unclean. Looking through it with a knife, she picked out a small ring, and then she understood.
"I'll send you. Jiang Xiangyang immediately said, "It's the size of your middle finger." β
"No wonder I wasn't allowed to go when I ordered the cake, it turned out that I was holding back this old-fashioned routine. Wen Xun took off the ring, took out another tissue and put it on the table, and put the ring on it. "What's the matter with you. Didn't you say that this year's expenses are a bit big, so you won't give each other birthday gifts, how can you prepare secretly, it seems that I am so stingy. β
Jiang Xiangyang smiled, "Who said this is a birthday gift, this is a daily gift." β
β...... It's so expensive to buy a daily gift? It's really a big star who makes a lot of money. β
"Hey, I said that you have to squeeze me a few words when you accept a gift. β
Wen Xun also smiled, "It's natural to get used to it, understand." After speaking, she walked to the bedroom and took out a bag and threw it to Jiang Xiangyang. βSurpriseοΌβ
Jiang Xiangyang looked down at the bag suspiciously, and then looked up at Wen Xun.
Wen Xun said, "Take it apart and take a look." β
Jiang Xiangyang dismantled it very obediently. He took out a men's shirt with a good price from the bag, a little embarrassed, "...... You are the one who said that you would not buy a gift and secretly prepare it. β
"I'm also a daily gift, so you are allowed to buy it, but I am not allowed to buy it. β
"Wen Xun. Jiang Xiangyang put down his clothes and said in a somewhat serious tone, "I'm already making money now, so I can spend a little more on you, you're different, you're still in school, just a little living expenses every month, I don't need you to always send me this and that in this case." Give me such a dress, you can't buy a new dress yourself. β
"Don't make me so pathetic, I still have a scholarship to spend. Besides, I don't lack clothes to wear. Wen Xun pursed his lips and said in Jiang Xiangyang's previous tone, "Moreover, there will be no good results if the couple's unequal payment is not only for feelings, but also for money." I'm investing in our relationships, not spending money. β
Although she said this half-jokingly, it was somewhat serious. After being with Jiang Xiangyang, he has always spent more money. In the past, they were good friends, and these things could be confused, but now that they are together, any more imbalance will sooner or later cause big problems.
Wen Xun originally wanted to use the excuse of saving expenses not to accept Jiang Xiangyang's things on this birthday, and then secretly give him a gift, so that the financial contribution of the two could be slightly balanced. Unexpectedly, she was not the only one who secretly bought gifts.
Jiang Xiangyang's gift to her was obviously more valuable, and the economic gap between them was widened.
"It's not too late to wait for you to come back to me when you make money later. Jiang Xiangyang said, "Maybe I'll be downcast in the future, and I'll have to wait for you to support me." β
Wen Xun scolded him for his crow's mouth.
But then again, although the two of them were very reluctant to receive the gifts, the two gifts were later treated as treasures. That shirt still became one of Jiang Xiangyang's most commonly worn clothes, and the ring did not appear on Wen Xun's hand because it was too high-profile, but it was still worn around his neck by Wen Xun with a small silver chain, and it was hidden in his coat in a low-key manner.
Wen Xun and Jiang Xiangyang, who have stepped into the adult world, are trying to play the role of adults, but while planning reality like adults, they still carefully protect each other's hearts with the remaining sincerity, romance and gentleness.
