Chapter 663: Belated Birthday Gift; Hug
Back at the Governor's Mansion, as they were about to return to their rooms, Wen Li, who had been thinking all the way, finally said, "I have something for you."
Lu Xixiao didn't ask or think too much and followed Wen Li into the room.
"For you." When Wen Li took out a high-end dark blue box from the drawer of the bedside table and handed it to him, Lu Xixiao was a little bit unbelievable. His eyes were full of surprise and his face was full of excitement.
He didn't reach out to take it, but instead looked at Wen Li eagerly and flatteredly, saying with some annoyance, "How could a girl like you prepare something like this? This should be prepared by me."
"???" Wen Li said word by word, "No! It's! A! Ring! Finger! What are you imagining?" She threw the small box to him, looking disgusted and wanting to chase him out: "Take it and leave quickly."
The exaggerated expression on Lu Xixiao's face faded, leaving only a faint smile. He knew it couldn't be a ring, so he just wanted to tease Wen Li.
Of course, it also hints at Wen Li’s little thoughts.
"what is it?"
But it can't be a gift if it's not a festival or a birthday, right? If it's really a festival or a birthday, Wen Li is unlikely to give him a gift. Lu Xixiao, who just received a cake on his birthday, thought very self-awarely.
Not having any idea what it might be, he opened it curiously.
Inside was a pair of cufflinks.
What a gift!
Is it really Chinese New Year?!
Surprise reappeared in his dark eyes: "Give it to me?"
Wen Li felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, but she was very pleased with Lu Xixiao's reaction and said, "Your birthday present."
Lu Xixiao: "Replenished for me?"
Wen Li thought about it and said, "It's not a supplement."
Wasn't it a make-up? Was it prepared on your birthday?
Lu Xixiao was about to ask why he gave it to him now, when he heard Wen Li explain in a proud and face-saving tone: "I forgot to give it to him."
Lu Xixiao's eyes were filled with smiles, and his tone was light: "Forgot to give it?"
Brought it all the way here from Mingcheng, and you said you forgot to give it to me?
It was that day when he kissed me that made me feel embarrassed and annoyed.
Are you too embarrassed to give it, or too annoyed to want to give it?
Thinking of how Wen Li was completely unable to resist his softness at that time and her eyes and swollen lips that were misty from his kiss, Lu Xixiao felt itchy in his heart as if it was scratched, and it was Wen Li who scratched it himself.
An old man, who had tasted the sweetness of it, savored it in his heart, while trying not to expose her. He confirmed with her, "Isn't this the package we picked up in town on the second day of the Chinese New Year?"
Wen Li reluctantly admitted, "Yeah."
Lu Xixiao carefully looked at the birthday gift that he almost kissed to death. The belated gift turned out to be an unexpected surprise.
The pattern on the cufflinks is very exquisite, coupled with top-notch craftsmanship, the overall look is very luxurious, the style is something he has never seen before, the design is very unique and niche, but it completely suits his temperament and taste.
"I have hundreds of pairs of cufflinks, but none of them have a similar design style to yours. Could it be that you designed them yourself and customized them specifically for me?" Lu Xixiao was excited at the thought of this possibility.
Wen Li didn't expect that he could actually see it.
Her lips moved twice, and then she curled her lips.
Although she didn't admit it, her reaction said it all.
The gift was so valuable that Lu Xixiao held the bottom of the box with his other hand.
He, who had always felt insecure, finally realized that Wen Li liked him more, valued him more, and cared about him more than he had imagined.
He looked at it again and again, as if he was receiving a gift for the first time.
In fact, he didn't have this reaction when he received the gift for the first time.
Seeing him like this, Wen Li couldn't interrupt him or send him away, so he had to wait until he had seen enough. Lu Xixiao then handed over the cufflinks and said expectantly, "Please help me try them on and see if they look good on me."
Wen Li: "Do you want to try it again to see if it looks good?"
It has to look good.
Even if it doesn't look good, let her hold it in.
She picked up one.
"It must look good. Let me see how good it looks." Lu Xixiao, who had said the wrong thing, quickly changed his words and raised his hand to let her wear it.
He had already taken off his doll costume. There was air conditioning in the car on the way back, so he didn't put his coat back on. Now he was wearing a black flannel shirt with his coat draped over his arm.
It was the first time for Wen Li to help someone put on cufflinks, but the French cufflinks were easy to put on. Although he had never done it in practice, he could learn it by watching.
Looking at Wen Li who was carefully putting cufflinks on him with her head down, Lu Xixiao felt indescribably satisfied, and happiness overflowed from his eyes.
Wen Li: "Okay."
Lu Xixiao shifted his gaze away from Wen Li's face. He looked at the two cufflinks on his cuffs one by one, his love for them evident in his expression. He touched them again and again, cherishing them and unable to let go.
He looked back at Wen Li and said, "It looks good."
The smile on his face never faded, and now it was even brighter.
It was so full that Wen Li's eyes were dazzled.
He couldn't help but pull Wen Li's hand: "Li Li..."
Wen Li knew what he was going to do at a glance, and took the initiative without thinking: "No, I'm not in the mood." and warned him with her eyes.
Lu Xixiao couldn't help laughing as he was rejected before he even started.
Lu Xixiao was very happy after being rejected, because Wen Li's preemptive strike reflected her understanding of him and the tacit understanding between them.
"Give me a hug then." He reached out and hugged Wen Li, resting his chin on Wen Li's shoulder and gently nuzzling it, saying softly, "Thank you. I really like this birthday gift. I will definitely take good care of it."
Wen Li must have been looking for an opportunity to give him a gift these days.
Lu Xixiao found it cute just thinking about it.
He also knew that the reason why Wen Li had the "courage" to take it out for him tonight was because the punishment she gave to Qi Yu was too light, and she felt sorry for him, so she did this to make up for it and comfort him.
Wen Li was taking this opportunity to give the gift to Lu Xixiao, but she also wanted to use this gift to make up for Lu Xixiao. She originally thought that she could kill two birds with one stone, but now she regretted doing so.
This was originally a birthday gift for Lu Xixiao.
If she does this, will this birthday gift be ruined?
Wen Li, who wanted to make up for some of the injustice, accidentally made things worse and caused Lu Xixiao to suffer more grievances, but he didn't feel it at all. She said she didn't want to kiss him, so he just hugged her. Feeling his happiness, Wen Li raised her hands driven by her conscience and wanted to hug him back.
Lu Xixiao: "Li Li, can you give me some response?"
Wen Li, who was about to hug him, froze and rolled his eyes: "What?"
Wen Li, who was very thin-skinned, felt as nervous as a thief. Lu Xixiao's sudden words startled her so much that she almost put her hands in her trouser pockets.
Lu Xixiao, who is always striving for it, said: "Hug me too."
Wen Li: ...
She gritted her teeth.
The two hands that wanted to hug Lu Xixiao turned into fists, and she held back and didn't hit his waist with her fists.
This guy! He ruined everything!
She dropped her hands in anger.
His mouth was full of emotions: "No! Hug!"
Lu Xixiao was disappointed: "Okay."
The next second he was revived with full health: "Can you help me?"
Wen Li was about to take that step but was interrupted and said angrily: "Speak."
Lu Xixiao loosened one hand and instead pulled Wen Li's hand to put it on his waist, saying in a nonchalant manner, "Please measure my waist. I feel like I've gained weight during the New Year."
There was no way. Wen Li was too thin-skinned and would instinctively go against others when he was shy. He could only use these methods.
Wen Li: “…”
Wen Li, who was already thinking about something, raised her lips slightly. She pretended not to understand Lu Xixiao's intentions and followed the trend. She raised her other hand to hug him as well. She pretended to measure his thin and strong waist with her arm and pinched it with disdain: "You are so fat."
She finished measuring but didn't let go of her hand.
"Really? Grandma's cooking smells so good, it's normal for you to gain weight. Let me see if you've gained weight." Lu Xixiao also measured her, and the palm of his hand against her waist became dishonest, but his arms became tighter and tighter.
