One gift was a fountain pen and a notebook, and the other was a box of face cream.
It's obvious that these are the two of them's stockpiled items that they're reluctant to use themselves.
"He Shenghua is quite generous; this pen must cost several dollars."
Wen Moxue remained noncommittal.
"Ahem, do you think he gave this pen and notebook to you or to me?" Lu Yuan asked pointedly.
Wen Moxue pushed the things to him, "Of course they're for you. I have a pen and a notebook."
Lu Yuan accepted it without hesitation, saying, "I also feel that it was a gift for me."

In those days, no one celebrated their birthdays because there was no food to allow for extravagance.
