"Sister-in-law, please take mine apart, quickly."
While everyone else was choosing photos to post on their Moments, Lu Zhi lowered his voice and urged Shen Yinan to open the gifts.
He looked like this and Shen Yinan couldn't help but laugh.
Just as his knuckles touched the ribbon wrapping the box, someone suddenly grabbed his neck and pulled him back from behind.
"No! Mine first!" Chi Xingyao tightened her grip fiercely, "Every year, mine is taken down first. No one else is allowed to cut in line!"
After being yelled at by her, Shen Yinan suddenly had the illusion that he had really become a traitor, and raised his hands helplessly to express his attitude: “Okay, okay…let go first.”
My neck is almost broken.
Only after getting the assurance did Chi Xingyao put her gift into his hand.
By the way, he threw Lu Zhi's back into his arms.
Lu Zhi was unhappy: "What are you doing? I asked my sister-in-law to open the gift, why are you arguing?"
"Fight? Do I need to fight with you? I just can't bear to see you become a clown." Chi Xingyao glanced at him proudly.
Lu Zhi was furious. Not only had he lost to Xue Ning in giving gifts to the Xue family before, but now he finally got the chance and couldn't give the gift to Chi Xingyao!
When will he be able to stand up!
Seeing that the Elementary School Chickens were about to fight again, the person being robbed felt a little guilty and hurried to appease both sides.
After opening Chi Xingyao's gift, he quickly opened Lu Zhi's.
After opening the gift, Shen Yinan racked his brains to think of words to praise him. Lu Zhi's mood instantly turned from cloudy to sunny. He was so easy to coax.
Others also prepared gifts and handed them over one by one.
Because it was the first time to celebrate Ana Shen’s birthday, most people didn’t know what he liked, so they were all quite conventional, but the meaning and thoughtfulness were very precious.
Han Xu gave a shopping card. He was always perfunctory in giving gifts, and was mercilessly criticized by others.
This person didn't feel guilty at all, instead he was justified: "Giving money is not good? Who doesn't like money? I won't give it next year."
There's nothing wrong with that...
Chi Xingyao poked Lin Zhiyi's arm and asked in a low voice, "How can you bear this? He used to give you money too."
Lin Zhiyi thought of something, and his lips curled up slightly, then pressed down again: "...It's worse than this."
Could it be more perfunctory than this?
But before he could ask, Han Xu pulled the person away, physically blocking the two's communication.
Xue Ning's gift was a big box.
"I thought you guys might have run out of them last time. This is new stuff from my friend's company."
Judging from his appearance, Ana Shen felt a little bad, and even the action of opening the gift was a little slow.
The ribbon was half torn, and Xue Ning suddenly said, "Why don't you go back and untie it."
"What's so mysterious? We can't even see it yet?" someone joked. "Could it be some deer penis or deer antler?"
"Get lost! I'm not sleeping under their bed, so how would I know if Xue Du needs this?" Xue Ning rolled her eyes and glanced at her brother. "Of course, if you need it, I won't be stingy."
As a supporter of Xue Du, Lu Zhi certainly wouldn't allow anyone to tease his brother. He retorted loudly, "Sister! Don't doubt me!"
But when he turned around and looked at Xue Du, his expression was filled with some worry.
Xue Du said with a forced smile: "...I don't need these for the time being."
Next to them, Shen Yinan’s cheeks were slightly hot.
The box was not opened, but from Xue Ning's words and actions, he vaguely guessed what Xue Ning's gift was.
Shen Yinan’s scalp tingled, and after whispering his thanks, he put the gift at the bottom and pressed it tightly with other gifts.
Guan Gaojun was the last one among his friends to give a gift.
The thing was handed to Ana Shen, and his expression was a little unnatural: “I’m sorry, Yinan, he made so many troubles before, and I misunderstood you and didn’t formally apologize to you…I really feel ashamed to see you.”
His eyes were dark blue, and Shen Yinan accepted the gift and smiled soothingly: “It’s okay, you don’t want to.”
Although it was just a few words, Guan Gaojun seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden and finally smiled for the first time since coming here.
He said with some relief, "Thank you."
After opening all the presents, it was almost two in the morning.
Shen Yinan was surrounded by everyone and returned to the room.
The gift was opened and then carefully packed and put back by him.
Xue Du was beside him, helping him tidy up, his eyes full of tenderness.
Finally finished sorting, Ana Shen stood up and stretched.
Maintaining the same posture for a long time caused him to suffer from back pain.
Xue Du raised his hand to give him a massage.
Looking through the glass window, I saw light white snowflakes falling from the sky, covering the treetops in the courtyard.
Shen Yinan sat by the window, looked up, and suddenly spoke softly: “Xue Du.”
"Um?"
"Where's my gift?" The boy tilted his head and looked at him, his eyes filled with anticipation and urging, "Everyone else has given me one, but you haven't."
As he spoke, his brows furrowed in anxiety.
He had been waiting for Xue Du's gift.
There were so many people there just now, but he didn't ask. Now that Xue Du seemed to have no intention of giving it, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Xue Du thought it was cute and raised his hand to pinch the tip of his nose: "How could I not give it to you."
But with Shen Yinan, he doesn't want to be the first, he just wants to be the only one.
Giving gifts with others can make it difficult to avoid being ignored.
When you are alone together, it is the best time to give gifts.
Xue Du spread out his hand, and a key lay quietly in his palm.
"What's this?"
"Baby said before that he likes the sea, so I bought an island. We can go there anytime we want for vacation." Xue Du said, pointing to the key, "This is the key to the only house on the island."
