Meanwhile, Fu Shiqin and Ling Jiao had returned to their shared apartment.
As soon as he entered the house, Fu Shiyi received a work call and talked for nearly half an hour before finishing.
He had just hung up the phone when he saw Ling Jiao sitting at the table, on which sat a beautifully wrapped gift box.
"This is a birthday present. Please sign for it," Ling Jiao said with a smile.
Fu Shiqin sat down opposite him, but did not rush to open it.
"When I got home, I only saw the gifts you brought for your family. You even brought gifts for Fu Shiyi, but you didn't bring any for me. I thought you had forgotten about me."
“How could I forget? I started preparing last month,” Ling Jiao said.
However, considering that I would have to take it back after taking it there, I decided to leave it at home and wait for him to come back before taking it apart.
Fu Shiqin stared at the gift box for a moment and guessed.
"Are they... shoes?"
This box is so big, it looks a lot like a shoebox.
Ling Jiao shook her head. "No."
Fu Shiqin guessed again, "Cake?"
Ling Jiao shook her head again, "Wrong."
Fu Shiqin stroked his chin. "Is it for food?"
"Why do you always think about food?" Ling Jiao chuckled.
"It's not food, and it's not shoes, so what is it?" Fu Shiqin pressed his ear against the box and tapped it.
Ling Jiao couldn't stand it any longer and urged, "Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Fu Shiqin thought for a moment and then said.
"I'll go wash my hands first."
Ling Jiao sighed, realizing that all he was asked to do was open a gift, and he still needed to wash his hands.
Why not just take a bath and burn incense?
Fu Shiqin washed his hands before carefully unpacking and opening the box.
Inside is a jigsaw puzzle, and the person in the puzzle is him.
After he looked at it, he reached out and took her hand, looked at her fingers and said...
"So many pieces, don't your hands hurt?"
"No, I pieced it together slowly in my spare time, it didn't hurt that much," Ling Jiao said with a light laugh.
I thought he would be very excited to receive it, but instead he asked such a stupid question first.
Fu Shiqin lowered his head and kissed her fingertips. "Actually, you don't need to go to so much trouble. As long as it's from you, even if it's just a greeting card with a few words written on it, I'll cherish it."
Ling Jiao laughed out loud, "I wonder who it was that just now, whose own brother gave them a birthday card and then complained about it for ages."
“The ones you gave him and the ones he gave him are different,” Fu Shiqin said.
It's one thing for his brother to give them cheap greeting cards, but the real issue is that they saw the receipt, which showed that he bought them on his way home from get off work.
That's even more heartbreaking; the gift was prepared so casually.
It was so cheap, and it didn't even have any packaging. I bought it so casually.
This time he sent a greeting card, right? They'll send him one every year from now on, so he knows how they feel.
Ling Jiao smiled gently, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
She now deeply regrets her initial hesitation in keeping him at arm's length.
Looking back now, it's funny. Before they got together, she worried that they would easily break up.
But after they got together, she regretted not being with him sooner.
Humans are truly complex creatures.
Fu Shiqin excitedly moved the jigsaw puzzle photos to his study and placed them on his desk.
Then, they also stuck a note on it.
[My girlfriend's first birthday present to me!]
Ling Jiao watched his childish behavior from the side, finding it both amusing and sweet.
"You really want to put it here?"
"Otherwise, should I put the company property in my office?" Fu Shiqin suddenly suggested.
Ling Jiao: "No need, just leave it here, it's fine."
