Reborn: The Godfather Has Fallen For Me

Chapter 107: Birthday Present

The first day of the Lunar New Year

Climbing the mountain.

Early in the morning, Third Uncle placed the two red eggs in front of her. A big red packet signified that Shen Xiaoxiao was happy on her 18th birthday.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the two red eggs. These things had only appeared in her memories, but those memories were already blurred.

Third Uncle was busy in the kitchen. Shen Xiaoxiao held the big red packet and looked at the two red eggs on the table. It was very natural, so natural that before she could react, she put one of the red eggs into her pocket.

She only reacted after she was done. In fact, even if she was unwilling to admit it, Yan Kuan had already occupied an important place in her heart.

“In a while, you can wander around by yourself. Go far away and don’t come back until noon, understand?”

Third Uncle started to chase her away again. Shen Xiaoxiao knew that this was the custom here. The higher you go, the further you go, the better.

Third Uncle had already prepared to go and pay his New Year’s greetings to his old friends. Naturally, he could not bring Shen Xiaoxiao with him so brazenly.

Shen Xiaoxiao could only carry out her own activities.

Shen Xiaoxiao did not know if Yan Kuan would come back today.

The first day of the New Year was not only Shen Xiaoxiao’s birthday, but also Yan Kuan’s birthday.

“19, did your boss say that he would come back today?”

“Well, Boss did not say. Miss, why don’t you call and ask Boss?”

“Oh, no need. I’m just asking.”

At night.

The cold wind was bleak, and the sky was still bright from tonight’s fireworks. Even though it was almost 12 o’clock, the sound of bamboo firecrackers could still be heard not far away.

He wouldn’t be coming back tonight, right?

The cold red egg in her hand made Shen Xiaoxiao smile self-mockingly. She was indeed a weak person in terms of feelings, so stupid that it made people laugh.

Wasn’t it clear from the beginning? Between the two of them, they were just bedmates, using and being used. And now, at most, there was the relationship of a partner in it. That was all. Why did she have to insist on so much?

Other than causing trouble for herself, how could she have the right to think about this now?

It was not snowing tonight, but the bone-piercing cold wind still made people shudder, as if at this moment, even their bones were cold to the point of panic.

Looking at the curtains fluttering in the wind, he smiled and adjusted his collar. In the pitch-black bedroom, he could only see a thin figure standing in front of the window. She looked so lonely and ethereal, as if she was about to be blown away by the winter wind… It made the entire room feel bone-chilling and cold.

“Come here. The wind is so strong. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

The voice beside her ear was like a warm current, and it made her heart pound. Was it him?

She turned her head and looked at the light that had suddenly turned on. The travel-worn man stood in the room with a chill all over his body.

Before she could wipe away the smile on her lips, she subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall. It was only ten minutes until midnight, and he was back.

This realization made Shen Xiaoxiao inexplicably excited. For the first time, she took the initiative to rush over and hug him. Suddenly, she realized that her heart was filled at this moment because of his existence… Because at this moment, he came back from the outside without caring about the cold wind.

“Why didn’t you go back to that old man’s place? Isn’t it the New Year?”

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. Seeing him pull her away and maintain a certain distance from her, she was a little surprised. Seeing him take off the slightly cold coat on his body and then pull her into his arms again, her heart actually softened a little.

“Have you been there before?”

Yan Kuan raised his eyebrows and put the shawl by the bed on her body. Then, he slowly pulled her to sit on the sofa and said, “It’s your 18th birthday. Of course, I have to come back. The little one is an adult now. This is a day worth celebrating.”

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and took out the already cold red egg from her pocket as if she was trying to please him. Two round red eggs lay steadily on her fair palm. Yan Kuan’s heart was also slightly shocked. It had been many years since someone gave him this.

“Was it made for you by that old man? Yes, you have to eat red eggs on your birthday.”

“No, I left it for you. Let’s have a happy birthday together.”

Yan Kuan was stunned for a long time because of these words, ‘Happy Birthday.’ Looking at the little girl in front of him who looked like she was presenting a treasure, her hands were red from the cold and her little face was a little rosy. Her big round eyes were staring at him. It made his heart melt in an instant.

Yan Kuan hugged her tightly in his arms. He felt a little lonely, and some of the feelings that only this little girl in front of him would understand. His heart was strangely warm, and it was no longer as cold and painful as before.

“Silly girl, you are the best gift.”

Yan Kuan slowly took out a purple gift box from his pocket and handed it to Shen Xiaoxiao. Shen Xiaoxiao was first stunned, then she opened it happily.

It was a red, furry, sock. Yes, it was a sock. A pair of red, furry socks were lying in the gift box.

Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a long time. Then, she looked at Yan Kuan and said, “Are these socks?”

“Why are you so stupid that you can’t even recognize the socks?”

“But, but why are you giving me socks?”

“No reason. I feel that you are very similar to it. The furry ones are very cute, so I prepared them.”

After Yan Kuan finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the bathroom, leaving Shen Xiaoxiao staring blankly at the pair of red socks in front of her, deep in thought.

For her 18th birthday, the elders would bestow the red socks to the younger generation. It would ensure her success and peace when she grew up.

This custom had been passed down for many years in her early years. She did not expect Yan Kuan to know about it?

Moreover, he would give her a pair like this? Even Third Uncle did not prepare this for her, but this man had actually prepared this gift that carried some ‘superstition’.

Soft and warm!

Recalling the red socks that her father had treasured for many years back then, and looking at the strange gift that this man had prepared today, the corners of her lips slowly curled up…

The white fog, the sound of dripping water, and the blurry figure in the transparent glass, Shen Xiaoxiao nervously swallowed her saliva.

She tiptoed and sneaked in. She placed the same red item on the clothes rack and was about to turn around and leave.

Bang…

She only had time to let out a cry of surprise before she fell into a pool of warm water.

“Little fellow, you actually peeked at me when I was bathing. If you want to see, you can say so. There’s no need for you to peek.”

“Cough cough cough! Who peeked? Who peeked at you when you were bathing? I just changed my clothes, and it got wet again.”

“Did it get wet? Come, come, I’ll help you take it off so you don’t catch a cold.”

After Yan Kuan said that, he started to pull on her nightdress. This nightdress was personally chosen by Yan Kuan. With a tug of the cute pink nightdress, it was thrown far away with a whoosh.

The little * * was even lightly pulled by him and thrown away.

“Did you miss me? Huh?”

“Bastard!”

“Hahaha, this little mouth is so stubborn, but your reaction is very truthful. Little guy, I missed you.”
