After chatting with her parents, Xiang Hengxi helped Luo Xikui carry her suitcase into the room.
Luo Xikui opened her suitcase and started packing, while Xiang Hengxi leaned against her wardrobe with her long legs crossed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Xikui straightened her clothes and glanced at her brother sideways.
"She seems to have changed a lot." Xiang Hengxi felt that when she saw her in early October, she always seemed depressed and unhappy, as if she had no expectations for the future. Now she is bright and cheerful, and has returned to her former self.
"You've become prettier, haven't you?" Luo Xikui touched her cheek narcissistically.
Xiang Hengxi rolled her eyes at her. After making up with Xu Ziyu, look how smug she is, as if she has won the whole world.
But that's what his sister should be like; she should be living a vibrant and happy life.
"Brother, did you really throw away that whole box of gifts from last time?" Luo Xikui was filled with remorse when she thought about it. Those were all gifts she had begged and pleaded with Xu Ziyu to give her.
“Throw them all away.” Xiang Hengxi nodded without hesitation.
"Why are you so obedient! You know those are my treasures, and you still went and threw them away!" Luo Xikui slapped him a few times in annoyance.
"Didn't you cry and beg me to throw it away?"
"I..." Luo Xikui knew she was in the wrong, but still pouted, "Can't I regret it!"
"It's too late to regret it now." Xiang Hengxi suppressed a laugh.
Luo Xikui sat dejectedly on the bed, her head hanging in regret. It was all because she was stupid to throw those things away. Tuantuan would be angry when she found out.
Xiang Hengxi turned and went out, and a moment later came back in carrying a bear and a box.
"Consider this your wedding gift." He placed the item in front of Luo Xikui.
Luo Xikui looked up and saw all the familiar treasures around her. She was overjoyed and almost cried tears of happiness. She grabbed the bear, hugged it, kissed it, and then took out the rest of the items to look at them one by one.
After confirming that nothing was missing, he grinned from ear to ear and then scolded Xiang Hengxi, "Why did you lie to me just now!"
Xiang Hengxi smiled faintly, observing that her changes in joy and anger seemed to happen in an instant.
"These were originally mine, how can you give them back to me as wedding gifts?" Luo Xikui snorted and said, "You have to give me a much bigger gift."
"You're already a little rich woman, and you still want to ask other people for gifts? I have to save my meager salary to get married." Xiang Hengxi patted her head.
"Tch, he doesn't even have a boyfriend, what's the point of looking for a wife?" Luo Xikui scoffed, then continued to stroke her treasures.
Xiang Hengxi didn't refute, shook her head and smiled, walked out of her room, returned to her own room, and unbuttoned her military uniform.
The three nail marks on his collarbone were still vivid and hadn't faded. He looked in the mirror and touched them lightly, and the image of the little wildcat baring its teeth and claws jumped out of his mind again.
He chuckled, took off his clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
At this moment, Luo Xikui was still immersed in the joy of finding these treasures. That night, she slept with the bear in her arms, just like she would with Xu Ziyu.
Before going to sleep, she sent Xu Ziyu a selfie with a bear, adding a cheesy caption: "I wish I could hug you."
When Xu Ziyu came out of the shower, he swiped his phone and saw this message. He smiled faintly and replied: I'll pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow.
Luo Xikui replied with an "Mmm," and then pestered him to take a picture of her in her current state as well.
Xu Ziyu looked down at himself; he was only wearing a bath towel, and his hair was still a little wet. He casually raised his hand, pressed the shutter button, and sent the photo.
Luo Xikui was shocked when she received the message. She grabbed her phone and rolled around on the bed with joy, almost screaming.
