An intelligent early education machine for a 2-year-old.
A milk cup lamp for a 3-year-old, evoking warm memories, with a soft, romantic glow in the late night.
...
The gift for the 20-year-old is a necklace, a crescent-shaped pendant, with a pentagonal bulge at the sharp corner. It’s made of gold with diamond insets, twinkling under the light.
Right next to the box is a handwritten note from Lu Nanchen. Perhaps it’s psychological, but Yu Ting feels his sharp handwriting is brimming with warmth tonight. The message reads: In my eyes, you are the brightest star. The night sky with stars and the moon is the most beautiful, only life with you is complete.
The gift for a 21-year-old is a crystal music box, carved with scenes of snow and small houses, its picture warmth manifested.
It implies ’forever happiness’
Yu Ting opens each of the gift boxes, one by one. Continually opening 21 gift boxes has left her a little fatigued.
Miscellaneous gifts fill the moderately-sized living room. The ground next to it is laden with roses, accentuating the environment. The feeling of happiness inside her is overflowing.
Looking at Yu Ting, whose lips are peeling into a broad smile, Lu Nanchen can’t help but smile as well.
"How did you know when my birthday is?" Overwhelmed by emotion, Yu Ting suddenly remembers to ask this.
Lu Nanchen confesses honestly, "I saw your detailed information when I helped you check your exam results."
"I saw it again when you had to take a makeup exam."
He might not have remembered if he had only seen it once, but after seeing it twice, Lu Nanchen definitely remembered.
Yu Ting: ...
The romantic feeling in her heart fades a bit. She feels like she shouldn’t have brought this up.
Swiftly changing the subject, Yu Ting asks, "When is your birthday then?"
To her shame, Lu Nanchen had never told her, and she had always forgotten to ask.
Right now, she feels it’s better to ask, to have an idea in her heart.
Having said this, she’s met with Lu Nanchen’s somewhat reproachful gaze.
A bit embarrassed, Yu Ting coughs, "I’ll remember it from now on."
Lu Nanchen replies, "It’s in July this year, precisely on July 1."
After some idle chatter, Yu Ting puts away everything. Now it’s time for the most important cake eating session.
Although Yu Ting feels that as an adult, there’s no need for her to blow out a candle and make a wish.
Lu Nanchen doesn’t consider himself superstitious, but tonight, he insistently instigates Yu Ting.
"Try blowing out a candle and making a wish."
"Huh?"
Lu Nanchen: "Wish to not be harassed by other men."
Yu Ting: ...
Night arrives soon. The foreplay this time is quite elaborate, quite satisfying.
Yu Ting doesn’t know where Lu Nanchen learned about all these weird and wonderful things. The cake he made wasn’t wasted. Most of it ended up on Yu Ting.
Moved by the moment, Lu Nanchen reaches out to the bedside table, grabs a small thing, and tempts the woman.
...
...
...
"It’s not enough."
...
Outside, a late wind starts in Jiang Qi city. The wind lightly lifts the coat of a night wanderer, playing with the withered leaves on the road. The wilderness resonates with a slight rustling sound.
