The all-round academic master's girlfriend

Chapter 157: Holding Your Soul

A week later, it was Xia Jinxi’s birthday.

"Xiao Xi, get up. If you don't get up now, the sun will burn your butt."

"...Brother, you are lying. Where is the sun at this hour?"

While Xia Jinxi was waking up her drowsy brain, she complained about Tang Yuze's words when he asked her to get up.

"Mmm!"

Unexpectedly, she was kissed on the cheek.

"Happy birthday, little sister."

Yes, today is her eighteenth birthday.

"How can anyone be woken up by a kiss early in the morning on their birthday..."

"Now there is."

"If my brother said this was my birthday present, I would be angry for a long time."

After all, Tang Yuze had been keeping her on suspense since a week ago, and she didn't know what good stuff he had come up with.

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied this time, but now, let's go to class."

After putting on their belongings, the two siblings went out.

It was still the same course as usual and the study time passed quickly.

"Xiao Xi, let's go out for lunch this afternoon."

"Okay, where to go?"

"Go get some tea at the neighbor's house first, and then I'll pack it for you."

"Would you like to take it over to eat?"

Sister Li will allow them to eat some food that does not have a strong odor in the store. Snacks and Chinese food can be packed directly into the store, but spicy hot pot and the like are absolutely not allowed.

"Yes, today is your birthday, so go report over there first. I'll go pack some food for you."

"Remember to order me a cup of red bean milk tea, warm."

After saying that, Tang Yuze disappeared in a flash.

Is it necessary to be so anxious? Xia Jinxi thought.

--------

"Boss, have you finished what we talked about last time?"

Tang Yuze presented his lunch menu to a Chinese restaurant, told the boss to finish it first and he would come back to get it later, then hid it and secretly teleported to a jewelry store far away.

"Have you finished what I want?"

After finding the boss, he started asking questions.

"finished."

“Can I see the finished product first?”

"no problem."

The boss took out an exquisite little box. Tang Yuze opened it and took out the things inside. He looked at it carefully and put it back after finding that there was no flaw.

"I am very satisfied."

"Please pay the remaining half, and then we will return your deposit to you."

"Swipe your card."

"Ok."

He had to pay half of the deposit first and also a security deposit. After completing a series of operations, Tang Yuze finally got what he wanted.

He put the box into his schoolbag, then hurried to the restaurant to pick up today's lunch, and then slowly walked back to his neighbor's house for tea to make himself look less suspicious.

When he returned to his neighbor's house to get tea, Xia Jinxi was already eating it.

"I heard that it's Xia Jinxi's birthday today, so I treated her to a cupcake. It's a small piece and won't affect your lunch."

Before Tang Yuze could speak, Li Fang took the lead in explaining to him.

"Okay, after all, she is a princess today..."

Tang Yuze didn't say much, he just hoped that the little princess could have a happier day.

"You should eat this while it's hot, too."

After Xia Jinxi finished a cupcake in two small bites, Tang Yuze opened the lunch box, which contained various special dishes he had packed.

"Brother...isn't this a bit too much?"

"No, I also ordered three sets of bowls and chopsticks. Sister Li, you haven't eaten yet, right? How about eating together today?"

"Well... I was originally planning to go across the street and cook a couple of dishes. Since you guys invited me, please allow me to have a meal."

While eating the delicious lunch, the three of them began to talk about Li Fang’s favorite topic of love.

"Speaking of which, there's only half a month left until the deadline. Has Tang Yuze confessed his feelings yet? Otherwise, why don't you take advantage of today to confess your feelings and give yourself to Xiaoxi as a gift."

Li Fang teased Tang Yuze.

"Well... Actually, I have thought about whether to confess today, but I have to go to class during the day, so I'll have to wait until the weekend to confess."

"Eh? So brother is going to confess this weekend?"

Xia Jinxi was ecstatic.

"There's still half a month left, maybe next weekend?"

"Tsk, procrastination."

Xia Jinxi uttered another dissatisfied sound.

"Are you and your husband doing well now, Sister Li?"

Every time I come here, I talk about their affairs. Today, Tang Yuze decided to gossip about Li Fang's situation.

Tang Yuze remembered that Li Fang had mentioned her husband before, and that they were said to have a happy family life.

"Not bad, at least we can stand the test of time."

It is really a happy thing for a woman over 40 to be able to smile when she mentions her husband.

Then, while eating, Li Fang told the brother and sister stories about her and her husband’s youth.

"Okay, lunch is over, lie down and rest for a while. I'll wake you up twenty minutes before class."

"Thank you, Sister Li~"

--------

"Sister Li's story is so touching."

Xia Jinxi said this as she walked home in the evening.

"Really? Then there will be something that will move you even more."

"Are you going to give me a birthday present?"

"Yes, close your eyes."

Xia Jinxi looked at what Tang Yuze said and gently closed her eyes.

Tang Yuze took out the things in the box, sorted them out and opened it, then hung the thin rope around Xia Jinxi's neck.

"necklace?"

Without opening her eyes, Xia Jinxi could already feel the rope around her neck.

"Yes, open your eyes and look."

Xia Jinxi held the pendant on the necklace in her hand and slowly opened her eyes.

In the palm of her hand, there is a ring-shaped pendant. The pendant is very delicately crafted and engraved with mysterious and beautiful patterns.

The most eye-catching thing is the white sheep's head painted on the ring.

"This is...?"

"Custom necklace. I have one too."

Tang Yuze grabbed the rope around his neck and picked up the thing to show his sister. The workmanship was exactly the same, the difference was that Xia Jinxi's ring had a black pattern with a white sheep's head, while Tang Yuze's had a white pattern with a black wolf's head.

"Brother, this pattern is so special."

“This is the icon of a game character I like, called the Eternal Hunter Twins Kindred, a twin character made up of a wolf and a sheep.”

"Oh, I saw that one too!"

Xia Jinxi has never played League of Legends, but she has seen a video about the background story of the Everhunters.

“So this necklace is custom made?”

"Yes, this is the necklace I ordered half a month in advance. Although it's a bit expensive, it's really well made."

"how much is it?"

"Including all expenses, the total is five thousand."

Tang Yuze said indifferently, "It's not too much to take out 5,000 yuan from my scholarship to buy a birthday present for my sister, right?"

“This… is so expensive!”

"The cheap ones either don't look good or they don't last long."

"Like it?"

Tang Yuze stared at Xia Jinxi's face, watching her reaction.

“I like it! I like it very much!”

Such a beautiful gift, given by her beloved brother, there is no reason for her not to like it, right?

"That's good. Believe me, this time it's just a ring-shaped necklace, a youth version. I will give you a ring made of pure diamonds later."

"really?"

Tang Yuze was bathed in the street light, and Xia Jinxi was just covered by his shadow, forming a beautiful picture.

"Really, happy birthday, our little cutie."

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

Xia Jinxi held the ring-shaped necklace.

"Holding the soul of the child."

With tears of emotion in her eyes, the little girl said that classic line to Tang Yuze.

"Live with the Son."

Tang Yuze responded to her with a smile. The brother and sister hugged each other under the street lamp until a passerby coughed. Then they reacted and went home with red faces.
