Chapter 930: Chapter 930: Birthday Gift
On Leng Yan’s birthday, it happened to be a Saturday. Early in the morning, Xia Nuo took a box out of the drawer and headed to knock on Leng Yan’s door.
She handed him the box, smiling broadly, “Here’s a birthday gift for you.”
Leng Yan’s eyes lit up. In the past, on his birthdays, Xia Nuo would always buy him a birthday cake as a gift. This year, the gift was not a cake but something that could be kept for a long, long time. Naturally, he was both surprised and delighted.
Upon opening the box, there was a silver-grey watch inside. The watch was small yet still looked grand. He could wear it at his current age and still wear it at eighteen.
One had to admit, Xia Nuo had a good eye for choosing gifts.
Happily taking out the watch, Leng Yan carefully examined its face, then turned it over to study the back.
On the back was the brand name, and the brand’s headquarters was in City S. It was one of the best nationally renowned brands from City S.
Leng Yan’s eyes subtly moved. He handed the watch to her, “Help me put it on.”
Xia Nuo didn’t make a fuss and took the watch to put it on his wrist.
“Xia Nuo, did you buy this for me on your last trip to City S?” he suddenly asked her.
Xia Nuo immediately retorted, “Of course not, I bought it yesterday!”
“Really? But you were at school all day yesterday, and after school, we came back together. When did you have the time to buy it?”
“I asked someone to buy it for me. Do you have a problem with that?!” Xia Nuo raised her eyebrows in irritation, a bit embarrassed and angry.
Leng Yan smiled brightly, his white, neat teeth sparkling like diamonds.
“I have no problem with it.”
This might have been the first time he smiled so joyfully. Xia Nuo’s eyes were briefly overwhelmed by his smile, unable to stand his grin, she quickly looked away, not daring to face it.
“Since today is your birthday, let’s go pick a cake. My parents said they want to celebrate for you at our house today.”
The smile on Leng Yan’s lips slowly faded. He lowered his head slightly and softly said, “Uncle and Auntie are so kind to me. I’m really grateful to them.”
Xia Nuo sighed in her heart. It’s his birthday, and even his own mother didn’t remember, yet their neighbors did. He must be feeling really sad inside.
She nudged his arm, interrupting his thoughts, “Come on, hurry up, or we won’t make it in time for dinner.”
Not long after Leng Yan’s birthday, it was Xia Nuo’s birthday. This year she officially turned sixteen.
Her birthday happened to fall on Christmas Eve. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
In the evening, when Leng Yan took her out to wander around the night market, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky. On both sides of the street, the shop windows were decorated with cartoon images of Santa Claus, and Christmas songs jingled through the night air.
Everything was so beautiful and moving. Xia Nuo felt that her birthday was the most beautiful day of the year.
Leng Yan helped her with her scarf and then took out a jewelry box from his down jacket.
“This is your birthday gift.”
“What is it?” Xia Nuo asked excitedly. Leng Yan smiled and opened the lid. Inside was a beautiful platinum necklace with a swan pendant.
The swan’s eyes were a black diamond, and the feathers were pink diamonds.
A snowflake landed lightly on the pendant, gently melting, making the pendant even more radiant and shining.
Xia Nuo grinned from ear to ear. Girls loved beautiful things, and she was no exception.
“I’ll put it on for you,” Leng Yan said, picking up the pendant.
“Alright.” Xia Nuo quickly took off her scarf, revealing her long, fair neck.
