Chapter 441 Who would give themselves as a gift?

Su Qian found a pair of scissors and carefully cut open the seal.

"This is……"

The moment the tape was torn, Su Qian's heart beat faster and he vaguely guessed something.

Gilded gift boxes are neatly arranged, with "1 year old" to "22 years old" marked on the lids in gold-plated fonts.

She took a deep breath and slowly opened the small box marked "1".

There is a letter inside.

The beautiful handwriting read, "Happy birthday to one-year-old Qianqian." followed by a series of words.

Su Qian was stunned.

It seems that today is indeed her birthday.

She herself was almost forgetting it.

Lu Yao actually remembered?

And give her a gift in this way.

In the gift box, a gold milk bottle inlaid with diamonds lay quietly on the velvet pad, with crooked small words engraved on the bottle: "Grow up safely."

"puff--"

Su Qian laughed out loud, her fingertips stroking the worn edges of the bottle. It was not difficult to imagine Lu Yao squatting in a jewelry store arguing with the craftsman over details.

The two-year-old gift box contains a warm mutton-fat jade longevity lock.

The three-year-old got a gold-embossed fairy tale book.

Four years old, five years old...

There are different gifts for every age group.

The first mobile phone in her life at the age of seventeen made her no longer have to envy others.

The first dress for my 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony...

In each gift box, there is a letter written to her, every word is written with great care.

As she took the package apart, Su Qian's eyes gradually became moist.

In the past twenty-two years, no one has ever celebrated her birthday. In the past, she was lucky enough to have food to eat with her adoptive mother. A birthday was too much of a luxury.

It has been less than a year since I was found by the Su family, and it hasn't even been my birthday.

As a result, she almost forgot her birthday.

And Lu Yao made up for all the birthday gifts she had missed in the past.

It feels so good to be remembered by others.

She sorted out her thoughts and looked at the last gift.

At the bottom of the 22nd birthday gift box was a bank card with a password on the back. The password was the day the two first met.

"Why are you giving me a bank card?"

Su Qian sniffed and muttered softly, but her fingertips gently stroked the edge of the bank card.

There was also a gold-stamped card underneath the card. Lu Yao's handwriting was so strong that it could be seen through the back of the paper. At the end of the card, there was a crooked rose drawn: "The password is the day we first met. If you want to buy anything in the future, just swipe my card. If it's not enough--"

She suddenly laughed out loud because written on the back of the card in even smaller letters was, "Pack me up and take me with you anytime."

"Where did you learn this trick?"

Su Qian smiled softly with red eyes.

"No, after the New Year, I'm twenty-three."

Only then did she react.

The twenty-two gift boxes in front of me were neatly arranged, with no extra ones.

Su Qian shook her head and smiled bitterly. This guy, if you say he is not careful, he has prepared birthday gifts for every age group in the past. If you say he is careful, he even remembered her age wrong.

But despite this, Su Qian was still very satisfied.

"Here's the gift for turning twenty-three."

Lu Yao's voice came from behind.

When Su Qian turned around, she saw him with his arms open, and the tenderness between his eyebrows was almost overflowing.

She was stunned, her ears burning: "Who would give themselves as a gift?"

"Whatever is given to you is fine."

Lu Yao chuckled and moved his open arms. "Will you accept this gift?"

Su Qian looked at the expectation that could not be hidden in his eyes and chuckled silently.

Bai Ze squatted in the corner and let out a soft "Awooo". Xiao Liu had already quietly hidden behind the curtains, with only half of his gossipy face showing.

"It's just enough." She curled her lips deliberately.

But when Lu Yao reached out to retract his arm, she suddenly threw herself into his arms.

Then she tiptoed, put her arms around his neck, pecked the corner of his lips lightly, and quickly withdrew like a butterfly touching water. "Stamp it, mark it - it's mine from now on."

Lu Yao chuckled softly, and a muffled sound came from his chest vibrating.

The arms tightened and held the person tightly.

"Miss Su, this gift has a lifetime warranty, so you cannot return it." He lowered his eyes and looked at her.

"That's hard to say." Su Qian raised her head. "If I'm not satisfied in the future, I can always apply for a refund."

Lu Yao's face darkened.

This little girl actually wants to return the goods?

"Once sold, no returns or exchanges." Lu Yao said in a deep voice.

Su Qian chuckled and slowly pulled herself out of his arms. Her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the edge of the gift box and she asked nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, how did you know my birthday?"

Lu Yao raised his lips into a mysterious smile: "Secret."

"Forget it."

Su Qian curled her lips and turned around to sort out the unwrapped gifts.

Lu Yao helped her sort it out.

"Qianqian, I had no part in your past, but I will celebrate every birthday with you in the future—whether it's a hundred or a thousand."

His tone was serious and pious.

"I'm not an old monster, how can I live this long?"

Su Qian rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

"When we return to the world of immortal cultivation, I will protect you while you cultivate. Not to mention a thousand years, even if it lasts longer..."

His eyes were serious, "I'll be with you as long as you want."

"There's something wrong with you."

Su Qian stopped what she was doing and squinted her eyes as she looked him up and down. "I've never seen you so good at coaxing people with your little mouth before."

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe Lu Yao before as a blockhead.

But now he can speak sweet words to girls at will.

Are you attending cram school outside?

"cough--"

Lu Yao coughed lightly, feeling guilty. "No, I was just expressing my thoughts from the bottom of my heart."

He couldn't possibly admit that he had asked Zheng Cheng for the link to the 'smart butler who can speak sweet words' when they were in StarCraft before, right?

You know what, this thing is quite interesting.

"So you've been acting so mysterious these past few days, all the time talking to Zhou Ran on the phone?"

Su Qian's face was full of disbelief, but she didn't delve into it.

Lu Yao's ears turned red and he coughed lightly: "I've never been in contact with girls before, I really don't know what to give..."

Zhou Ran is a experienced guy who knows girls quite well.

After knowing that Lu Yao was planning to secretly give a gift to Su Qian, he actively used all his tricks.

"So it was just copying homework."

Su Qian was amused by him, then noticed the bank card next to it and picked it up, "Did he ask you to give him this bank card?"

"No, this is my sincerity."

Lu Yao chuckled, "This bank card is my salary card. I bought all these things with my first income on Earth."

He gently held Su Qian's hand holding the bank card, stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips, a gentle light in his eyes, "From now on, all your income on Earth will be deposited into this card. It's said on the Internet that salary cards should be handed over to your wife for safekeeping..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Su Qian's face suddenly flushed, and the tips of her ears were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

"Who, who is your wife!"

Su Qian pulled back her hand, "Who wants your little tricks?"

Although I said this, I still felt sweet in my heart.

"don't want?"

Lu Yao pretended to be distressed, "Then should I take it back?"

As he said this, he pretended to take the card.
