Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Xia Ningxing Comes of Age_1

A year later, the eldest brother had become a student at the Sports University, while Tuanzi’s first birthday had also arrived.

At one year old, Tuanzi had fully grown.

The small, plump white face, with skin delicate and soft, was like that of a cat, making it irresistible to keep stroking.

The dark, grape-like eyes were clear-cut, filled with innocence and purity.

Today, he wore a little blue Mandarin jacket, which made his fair skin seem even whiter than snow, and the scent of baby milk wafted from him, incredibly delightful to the senses.

Don’t think he was just a one-year-old; he was much smarter than other babies and could say many coherent sentences, though he still couldn’t walk very well and needed to be supported.

At this moment, it was time to give gifts.

The five brothers presented their gifts in age order.

The eldest brother’s gift was a trophy he had won at last year’s city swimming competition.

The second brother gave Tuanzi a small castle model he had made by hand; he loved crafting these and was even preparing to apply to an architectural university this year to study architecture formally.

The third brother gave a pair of boxing gloves, as he loved boxing and dreamed of becoming a professional boxer one day, hoping his younger brother would follow in his footsteps.

The fourth brother presented a photo album; he was passionate about photography and had taken countless pictures of Tuanzi throughout the year to compile this album as a birthday present for this very day.

The fifth brother loved calligraphy and gave Tuanzi a pair of couplets he had written himself.

Finally, it was Xia Ningxing’s turn to present her gift.

She gifted a pair of pure gold bracelets made by hand, with a blessing she had engraved herself — "May Tuanzi have today every year and forever have the present moment."

When Tuanzi received them, his eyebrows and eyes immediately curved into a beautiful crescent moon, his large eyes clearly reflecting her figure as he lisped with a milky voice, "Like, Tuanzi likes the gift Sister gave!"

Although everyone had given gifts, this was the first time Tuanzi openly expressed liking one in particular.

"As long as it’s from your sister, what’s there not to like!" Mrs. Xia glanced at Tuanzi pointedly.

It was strange, but Tuanzi always treasured and took great care of the toys and clothes Xia Ningxing bought for him.

Things bought by others he could destroy in two or three days, whether it was clothes or toys, talking about his destructiveness was something else.

Mrs. Xia sometimes felt so frustrated with him, it was simply a waste of money!

Indeed, ’expensive to maintain’ was an understatement!

Time passed bit by bit, and when Tuanzi was able to walk, jump, run, and dress and feed himself, he was already a four-year-old preschooler.

By this time, Xia Ningxing was eighteen.

She was a high school senior.

Normally, at her age, she should have been a freshman in college, but last year a severe influenza outbreak occurred, causing all schools to close for half a year, which meant everybody effectively had to repeat a grade.

So, because school had only just restarted a while ago, Xia Ningxing had to continue with her senior year.

At this moment, Xia Ningxing was sitting in the classroom, listening to the lecture.

As for the big shot, he had been admitted to his much-desired Science and Research University and was currently engaged in a new project at the research institute.

Counting the days, it would still be five days until he could return.

After school, the students swarmed towards the stairway, whereas Xia Ningxing walked unhurriedly with her backpack on.

It wasn’t until she saw a certain man standing by the school gate from the balcony that her eyes suddenly lit up. Pushing through the crowd, she dashed toward him like a rabbit.

"Lu!"

"Lu!"

She called out twice, full of excitement and surprise, happiness and joy, as her ponytail traced an arc across the azure sky.
