Chapter 44



Although they both got the same score and neither of them gave the other any reward, the next day, they still went on their first date after officially being together.

Xia Chenxi never thought about telling her parents about her relationship because she didn't know how her parents felt about it.

She felt it was too sunny to go out during the day, so she made an appointment to go out for dinner together.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, she washed her hair and spent a long time choosing in front of the closet before picking out a dress.

Considering that Qin Yifeng, a straight man, always has to worry about whether she will expose herself, Xia Chenxi chose a longer skirt this time, which covers her knees. The upper body has a retro buttoned design and is more slim-fitting.

This dress is extremely challenging for body shape. If a girl with more flesh on the upper body wears it, she will look fatter.

After Xia Chenxi buttoned up her dress, she looked in the mirror and thought it looked pretty good. The dress had medium to long sleeves and overall had a lot of fabric, which covered everything that needed to be covered, yet still showed off her body curves.

It's suitable for wearing when going out with a straight man like Qin Yifeng. It can highlight her good figure, but he can't show it off.

So that day, after seeing Xia Chenxi, Qin Yifeng was silent again. He felt that his girlfriend looked completely different after taking off her school uniform than after putting it on.

In the past, when he saw Xia Chenxi wearing a school uniform, he only knew that Xia Chenxi had long legs, but he felt that she was very thin, too thin, as if she was malnourished.

But after taking off the school uniform and changing into casual clothes... he doesn't seem to be malnourished.

She just didn't gain much fat in places where she shouldn't have gained fat.

Xia Chenxi parted her hair to the side, tucked the hair behind her ears, and clipped two flat clips on each side. She only asked the driver to take her to the shopping mall, and then she walked directly towards this side. When she saw Qin Yifeng, her heart beat faster.

Although the previous few days could be called studying or dating, this was our first date together and I was very nervous.

When I walked in and saw him, I saw that he had a smile on his face and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Not bad." After Xia Chenxi walked to his side, he naturally took her hand and they both entered the mall.

Because both of them got good scores in the college entrance examination, they planned to have a big meal to celebrate.

Xia Chenxi’s way of celebrating is to eat meat! Crazy meat eating!

The air conditioning in the mall was quite sufficient, so the two of them went to a hot pot restaurant, ordered a shuangyuan hot pot, and prepared the seasoning.

Xia Chenxi ate a few mouthfuls of ice jelly first, then asked: "What major do you want to sign up for?"

"I haven't decided yet, but it should be management." Qin Yifeng replied, "What about you?"

"We should be in the same department. It depends on the specific major. I haven't decided yet. But there is no rush. Let's check the information online first." Xia Chenxi thought for a while and said, "This summer vacation is very long. There are still two months left. What are your plans?"

Qin Yifeng: "Date."

Xia Chenxi: "...? Two months spent on dating?"

"Otherwise, I'll be bored at home." Qin Yifeng frowned and said, "During the two summer vacations after graduating from elementary school and junior high school, I was preparing for new content. Now that I'm graduating from high school, do I have to learn college content in advance?"

Xia Chenxi rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go out and play. Let's call Xiaoxiao and Zhao Fangcheng and go traveling together."

"Where do you want to travel?" Qin Yifeng couldn't help asking, "Do you want to visit tourist attractions or just have fun?"

"Of course I'm going to have fun. I don't think there's anything interesting about those tourist attractions. I'm exhausted from walking around. It's just so-so. I want to go on vacation to the beach, go swimming, or go to a water park or something. Let's go together?"

"Okay, then let's decide on our college entrance examination choices first, and then we'll discuss where to go for fun." Qin Yifeng had no objection to going out for fun. Now that he knew that Zhao Fangcheng liked Lu Xiaoxiao, he felt that it didn't matter if Zhao Fangcheng was there.

After the two had dinner, they walked around in the mall. In a few days it would be Xia Chenxi's eighteenth birthday. Qin Yifeng secretly wondered what birthday gift he should give her.

Xia Chenxi actually doesn’t celebrate her birthday. She hasn’t celebrated her birthday since she was kicked out of the house when she turned 18 in her previous life. After being reborn, the Xia family never had a good time.

The Xia family does not attach importance to birthdays, except for the eighteenth birthday when one becomes an adult, or the first birthday or a birthday that is a multiple of five.

So neither Xia Chenxi nor Xia Yanran celebrated their birthdays last year.

But I am eighteen years old this year, so I have definitely had it.

Qin Yifeng felt that for his girlfriend's birthday, he should either give her cosmetics or jewelry. As for cosmetics, Xia Chenxi didn't seem to wear makeup, and the only time he saw her wearing makeup was at the art festival, so it would be better to give her jewelry.

It’s her first birthday, so I can’t be too shabby. But I don’t know what kind of jewelry she likes.

Qin Yifeng simply took her to the jewelry store on the first floor and carefully observed her expression to see if there was anything she liked.

However, Xia Chenxi just looked at it casually, without showing any joy about the jewelry, and just looked past it.

After looking at several brands in a row, she didn't like any of them. Qin Yifeng was a little hesitant. Didn't she like these bracelets and necklaces?

But it's too early to buy a ring.

After struggling for a long time, Qin Yifeng asked, "Don't you have anyone you like?"

"No, I think these things are quite cumbersome to wear." Xia Chenxi looked innocent.

"Your birthday is in a few days. I want to give you a gift, but I don't know what you need?" Qin Yifeng asked tentatively.

"As for gifts...buy me some cosmetics." Xia Chenxi said.

"Don't you wear makeup?" Qin Yifeng wondered.

Xia Chenxi looked at him with disdain, "You can't wear makeup in high school. I'm going to college soon, so can't I wear makeup?"

Qin Yifeng thought about it and agreed.

Xia Chenxi's birthday is in a few days, so the gift will not be bought today.

But after sending Xia Chenxi home that day, Qin Yifeng returned to the mall, thinking about what cosmetics would be suitable for him to buy.

He searched for several cosmetic brands, picked out one that seemed good, and went in to consult the salesgirl about what would be a suitable gift for his girlfriend. The salesgirl asked him enthusiastically, "Excuse me, sir, does your girlfriend like light makeup or heavy makeup?"

Qin Yifeng thought about the makeup Xia Chenxi wore at the last Art Festival. "Light makeup."

In fact, the last time Xia Chenxi wore makeup at the Art Festival, she wore full makeup, including eye shadow, eyeliner, contouring and highlighter. It’s just that in the eyes of straight men, light-colored lipstick = no makeup or light makeup.

The salesgirl recommended: "For light makeup, low-key eyeshadow and lipstick are more suitable. Eyeshadow requires skills, but lipstick can be applied by anyone. Which one do you want to buy?"

"I want both. I want a full set." Qin Yifeng thought for a moment. They had just finished the college entrance examination, and Xia Chenxi probably didn't have any cosmetics yet, so he had to buy the full set.

The salesgirl immediately started to sell her product, "Girls need to apply sunscreen and primer before putting on makeup, and then apply base makeup. If you want a full set, you also need eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, eyebrow pencil, contouring, highlighter, blush, and lipstick."

Qin Yifeng: “……???” So many?

Straight guy Qin Yifeng was shocked. Is it so troublesome for girls to put on makeup?

"Then...please help me choose each one."

"Okay, is your girlfriend fair-skinned? This is based on skin color."

"Very white." Qin Yifeng said.

The salesgirl handed him a color card and asked what his skin color was. After Qin Yifeng pointed it out, the salesgirl recommended the whitest foundation to him.

Eyeshadows come in different shades, and the salesgirl even introduced them: "What shade do you want?"

"I want all the colors." Qin Yifeng doesn't care about the money. Since he is going to buy them, he will definitely buy the best.

"What about lipstick? Do you want different colors too?" The salesgirl's smile became brighter. This is a big customer!

"Yeah." Qin Yifeng nodded.

The salesgirl agreed that he also needed blush in different shades, so she packed up the entire set of cosmetics for him. Holding several packaging bags in his hands, Qin Yifeng was very satisfied after swiping his card. He planned to give Chenxi a surprise on her birthday in a few days.

It was Xia Chenxi's eighteenth birthday, which was also Xia Yanran's eighteenth birthday. Because it was an adult birthday, the Xia family held a small party and asked them to invite their friends.

Xia Chenxi naturally invited Qin Yifeng, Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Fangcheng, while Xia Yanran invited a few of her younger sisters.

In the past few days, they have filled out their applications, Qin Yifeng has also booked a house, all the formalities have been completed, and they are ready to start decorating. Xia Chenxi's grandmother is currently in good condition in the hospital. Xia Chenxi has hired a nurse for her and is looking for a matching kidney.

The birthday was celebrated at noon, and classmates came to Xia's house one after another. Qin Yifeng arrived early, carrying a few bags. Xia Chenxi didn't look at what was in the bags at first, so she put them in the bedroom.

Because it was not only Xia Chenxi who had a birthday, but Xia Yanran too. Qin Yifeng also bought Xia Yanran a birthday present and put it in a box. Xia Chenxi didn't know what it was, but when she saw that he also bought a gift for Xia Yanran and the box was beautifully packaged, she immediately became unhappy. Especially when he saw Xia Yanran's smug expression, he was very angry.

But in front of other people, she felt embarrassed to be jealous and was ready to give Qin Yifeng a good scolding in the evening.

Everyone ate and drank until the afternoon. Xia Chenxi prepared to go to the hospital to visit her grandmother, and went out with Qin Yifeng. After everyone separated, he asked, "Why did you give Xia Yanran a gift?"

"Your birthday is on the same day. Since I'm here now, it would be wrong not to see you off." Qin Yifeng said with some difficulty.

"What did you give her?" Xia Chenxi frowned, "It wasn't a necklace or something like that, was it? This is too ambiguous! I'll be angry and deduct points from you!"

Qin Yifeng: "No, I gave a box of wolfberries."

Xia Chenxi: “……???” What the hell?

Qin Yifeng: "I think this gift is more appropriate. If I give you jewelry, cosmetics, etc., you will definitely be angry. Besides, she is just an ordinary classmate, so I won't give her those. It's not good not to give her a gift, stationery, etc., you don't really need those when you are in college. This is the most suitable one, it is good for your health and it is very cheap."

Xia Chenxi: “…”

At this moment, after the birthday party, Xia Yanran, who had been happily opening her gifts, excitedly opened the gift Qin Yifeng gave her.

Haha, Xia Chenxi is a country bumpkin. So what if Qin Yifeng likes her? Isn’t it a gift for yourself as well? She still has a chance! They will definitely break up!

Xia Yanran was wondering what was inside this box, which was packaged so well and beautifully.

Could it be a set of jewelry? Or cosmetics or something like that?

When I opened it, I saw a box of... wolfberries?

Xia Yanran: “……???” Is he serious?
