She glanced towards the dining room. Fortunately, the dining room and living room were not far apart, and everyone was eating normally and hadn't noticed her.
"Why would I need a little dress? You might as well just send me two more boxes of duck necks. Goodbye!"
Seeing that she was about to hang up, Ye Qian quickly called out, "Wait, there's another surprise!"
A person appeared behind him; it was He Yuan, a popular idol who recently starred in a hit fantasy drama.
Ye Zhizhou would watch TV series in his spare time while studying, and occasionally post photos of characters from the series on his WeChat Moments. He never expected that Ye Qian would remember him.
"Hi, Zhouzhou, I'm He Yuan."
In the video, He Yuan is dressed in ancient costume. He was making a cameo appearance when Ye Qian caught him.
Ye Zhizhou sighed, "A young heartthrob is indeed a young heartthrob."
She was a million times more handsome in person than on TV. She really wanted to greet He Yuan loudly, but she didn't dare.
"Hello, He Yuan."
After a brief greeting, Ye Qian's staff began urging him to start filming, and Ye Qian reluctantly hung up the phone.
Ye Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief; the level 10 alert had been lifted. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to say more words to the young man.
"Xiao Zhou, when are you planning to go to your uncle's place? Your birthday is in ten days. How about we wait until after your birthday to go?"
Ye Zhizhou returned to the dining room, and Ye Huaibin asked with concern.
She then remembered that her birthday was coming up soon.
When she was still the scheming female supporting character, no one celebrated her birthday with her. She had to take the initiative to invite others to attend.
Finally, someone cared about her birthday when she got here.
"Okay, Dad."
Ye Huaibin nodded with satisfaction, "This is your eighteenth birthday. We'll celebrate at the hotel. I'll take this opportunity to announce your identity."
A few days ago, because Ye Zhizhou was going to take the college entrance examination, Ye Huaibin did not want to affect Ye Zhizhou, so he made plans in advance.
Ye Zhizhou didn't care much about status, but she knew Ye Huaibin must really want to do this.
"I'll do whatever you say."
After dinner, Ye Zhizhou and Qin Xuan played with the cat for a while.
"Your graduation gift."
Qin Xuan suddenly took out a delicate little box from his schoolbag.
Ye Zhizhou paused. Why did they all prepare graduation gifts for her? Was she living too carelessly?
"This is... a ring???"
Ye Zhizhou opened the small box and saw a diamond ring, and was immediately shocked.
Although she'll be eighteen in a few days, she's still very young!
"Qin Xuan, didn't we agree to try dating after graduation? Isn't marriage a bit too early...?"
The phrase "married young" seems to have been etched onto her head.
Seeing her strong reaction, Qin Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not a wedding ring. My mother gave it to you. She said it's a gift from a mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law."
Ye Zhizhou: ...
Why did she have this feeling that she was the Qin family's adopted daughter-in-law?
"Isn't Aunt Huo being too hasty?"
Qin Xuan knew she was under pressure, so he added, "You can treat the things she gives you as collectibles. Don't worry about why she gave them to you, since she's not even in the country anyway."
Ye Zhizhou relaxed a little. Seeing that Qin Xuan seemed to be in a good mood, he tentatively asked, "Qin Xuan, why have I never heard you mention your father?"
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Qin Xuan remained silent for a long time without answering.
Ye Zhizhou suddenly regretted it; why had she asked so impulsively?
"I still have a plate of clams to eat, I'm going downstairs to eat them first!"
Just as she was about to get up and leave, Qin Xuan spoke up.
"He's an insignificant person who has been missing for a long time, and I don't even know where he is now."
The topic turned serious, and Ye Zhizhou sat back down, stuffing the cream into Qin Xuan's lap.
"I'm sorry, I won't ask again."
It turns out that the "accident" Ruan Jingrong mentioned was actually a disappearance.
But isn't Qin Xuan very good at computers? How come he can't find his father?
"I'm going back."
The smile on Qin Xuan's face vanished, leaving only coldness.
Ye Zhizhou wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know where to begin, so he could only see Qin Xuan off.
Lying on the soft bed in the room, she carefully examined the ring that Huo Qingyan had given her, and felt the indentation on the inside of the ring.
She turned the ring around, and under the light, she could see the two letters clearly.
QX.
Isn't this just an abbreviation of Qin Xuan?
She opened her phone, sent a photo of the ring, and thanked Huo Qingyan.
Twenty minutes later, Huo Qingyan replied: This isn't a gift from me. I remember it was a first birthday present for Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan, if you're going to give it to me, just give it to me openly.
Ye Zhizhou suddenly felt the ring on his hand getting hot. For Qin Xuan, this ring had extraordinary significance, but he gave it to him.
This awkward person won't even use their own name when giving gifts.
She silently opened her chat window with Qin Xuan and found that their conversation was rather brief.
[Ye Zhizhou: Qin Xuan, are you home yet? Have you had a late-night snack? Want some barbecue?]
Half an hour passed, and she waited while watching a show on her iPad, feeling a little desperate.
Are all big shots this hard to appease? She vowed never to say anything carelessly again.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone vibrated; Qin Xuan had sent her a message.
She was so moved she almost cried while holding her phone.
[Qin Xuan: Eating barbecue at night can easily lead to weight gain, and barbecue is carcinogenic, so try to eat less of it. Let Zhang Ma make you a cup of milk.]
