Chapter 880: Chapter 0880: Wei’er’s Gift

"Now let’s put up the Spring Festival couplets together. Brother Tang Ming is so talented, he must cover the villa with joyful ’Fu’ characters and couplets!"

Li Xiaoli picked up a pile of couplets from the table and ran outside.

"Sure."

Tang Ming, now enthusiastic, grabbed the glue and followed energetically.

After half a day of busy activity, the three of them, accompanied by Uncle Quan and a group of servants, decorated the entire villa, filling it with a festive and warm atmosphere.

After lunch, Tang Ming drove Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli to go shopping for New Year’s goods, but Li Xiaoli insisted on bringing Chen Cang and Xia Wei’er along.

"We’re just going shopping for New Year’s goods, there’s no need to bring Wei’er and Chen Cang, right? They’re probably busy getting ready for New Year’s too, you know."

Tang Ming complained while driving.

"Isn’t it still not New Year’s yet? It’s the eve of the New Year, everyone should get together more often!"

Li Xiaoli confidently said, "Besides, as Wei’er’s boyfriend, doesn’t Tang Ming need to show some consideration during the New Year? Even if he’s not spending the holiday with her family, he should at least bring some gifts for her parents. Am I right, Meng Meng?"

"Haha!"

Liu Mengting laughed but didn’t reply, feeling a bit uneasy for some reason.

"You do make some sense!"

Tang Ming thought about it. Given Xia Wei’er’s family’s situation, decorating the new house must have cost a lot, so they might not have prepared a lot for the New Year. Since he had the money, he might as well help out.

When Tang Ming drove to the snack street to pick up Xia Wei’er, Chen Cang had already been waiting for a while in his car.

"Hey! Long time no see, I missed you guys so much."

Chen Cang got out of the car and rushed toward the trio, looking at Tang Ming with excitement, ready to give him a big hug.

"Get lost!" Tang Ming glared at him and cursed disdainfully.

"You’re so annoying, not giving me any face at all."

Chen Cang, feeling dejected, rolled his eyes at Tang Ming before turning to greet Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.

Soon after, Xia Wei’er, wearing a white trench coat and carrying a white shopping bag, walked over with her long hair flowing.

"Wei’er, you look so beautiful today. Did you dress up especially for Brother Tang Ming?"

Chen Cang exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"No, I didn’t."

Xia Wei’er blushed immediately, glancing shyly at Tang Ming before quickly turning to greet Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.

"Indeed, you look beautiful."

Tang Ming felt a bit dazed. Since returning from the Southwest province, this was their first gathering. He’d spent so much time with Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli that he was visually fatigued, but seeing Xia Wei’er again, he felt she had become even more beautiful.

"Hmph! Your eyes are about to fall out."

Liu Mengting snorted coldly, reminding him annoyingly.

"What?"

Tang Ming quickly retracted his gaze and looked straight ahead.

"Tang Ming, this is for you."

After greeting everyone, Xia Wei’er walked up to Tang Ming last and handed him the shopping bag.

"What’s this?"

Tang Ming was slightly surprised, confused about why Xia Wei’er was giving him something.

"A New Year’s gift."

Xia Wei’er explained shyly, her face flushed.

"Oh, oh, oh."

Tang Ming finally understood, but the bag was quickly snatched away.

"Wow, Wei’er actually remembered to prepare a New Year’s gift. What is it?"

Li Xiaoli grabbed the bag and pulled out a white knitted scarf.

"It’s just an ordinary scarf."

Xia Wei’er raised her hand awkwardly and said, "I knit it myself over the past few days. I don’t know if he likes it."

"I like it, I must like it, as long as it’s from you, I like it."

Tang Ming snatched the scarf back from Li Xiaoli and happily wrapped it around his neck.

"That looks so out of place!"

Liu Mengting rolled her eyes. Tang Ming’s denim outfit paired with the scarf looked odd no matter how you saw it.

"An outfit change would make it look even better!"

Li Xiaoli nodded, then looked pitifully at Xia Wei’er. "If Brother Tang Ming gets a New Year’s gift, do I get one too?"

"Yes, yes, Meng Meng and Chen Cang will also get theirs, but they aren’t ready yet. You’ll get them after the New Year."

Xia Wei’er nodded repeatedly, prioritizing Tang Ming for his gift, while others would have to wait.

"Oh dear, Wei’er is so thoughtful. I completely forgot about New Year’s gifts."

Chen Cang slapped his forehead and said curiously, "Don’t worry, sisters, I’ll get you something too."

Liu Mengting και Li Xiaoli exchanged awkward glances, realizing they had also forgotten to prepare gifts.

"Let’s go buy New Year’s goods first, gifts can wait. There’s still a week left anyway."

Tang Ming said, adjusting his scarf while chuckling to change the topic.

Then they left the snack street and headed to Tianhong Mall for shopping.

Once they arrived at the mall, they were a bit at a loss.

Liu Mengting and Chen Cang came from wealthy families whose servants had already purchased most of the necessities, while Xia Wei’er’s family seemed to lack many things.

"Oh dear, it looks like we only need to buy fireworks, everything else we have. But the mall doesn’t have fireworks."

Li Xiaoli said, standing at the mall entrance, looking frustrated at the fireworks shops outside the mall.

"We have fireworks at home already, but we still need to buy other things."

Xia Wei’er frowned, then said considerately, "It’s okay, I’ll go buy fireworks with you. I can buy other things tomorrow."

"No need for the trouble."

Tang Ming said with a smile, then looked at Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli. "I’ll go with Wei’er to buy New Year’s goods. Chen Cang can go with you to buy fireworks. I can also take Wei’er home afterward, and you go back to the villa with Chen Cang."

"Great, remember to buy sunflower seeds and candies."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, let’s keep in touch."

Knowing Tang Ming was going to Xia Wei’er’s house, Liu Mengting felt a bit uneasy but said nothing.

Then, Tang Ming and Xia Wei’er entered the mall while Chen Cang accompanied Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli to the fireworks shops.

Since New Year’s was approaching, fireworks were a hot commodity, so the shops were crowded.

Li Xiaoli excitedly wandered among the shops, checking things out and feeling overwhelmed.

"This is weird. Isn’t setting off fireworks something boys usually like? Why is Xiaoli so interested?"

Chen Cang looked helplessly at the excited Li Xiaoli ahead.

"Xiaoli just loves excitement. Anything related to it, she enjoys."

Liu Mengting smiled, feeling a bit helpless about her friend’s enthusiasm.

"Cang Cang, Meng Meng, come over and check out the types of fireworks here!"

After a while, Li Xiaoli stood at the entrance of a fireworks shop, calling them over excitedly.
