As soon as she got back to the dorm, Qiu Xi grabbed a pair of scissors, ready to see what the package was.
Before she could start, Song Daiyao, who was sitting nearby drinking water and catching her breath, asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Let me open it and see."
With that, Qiu Xi took the package from Jinhai City and pulled open the outer packaging box.
As soon as it was opened, she saw several gift boxes neatly arranged. Qiu Xi's mouth dropped open; she was pleasantly surprised.
After taking everything out, Qiu Xi looked at the letter in her hand, her eyes moistening slightly.
It was her birthday gift from her parents. kan shu wu . xi
Setting the letter aside, Qiu Xi began to examine the gifts her parents had prepared.
A bright red evening gown, a pair of silver crystal high-heeled shoes, a small princess crown, and a custom-engraved fountain pen. kan ฮดใ
"Xiao Xi, can we take a look?" After watching Qiu Xi for a while, Song Daiyao and the other two were getting restless.
"Go ahead." It wouldn't hurt to let them look, so Qiu Xi moved aside.
"This dress is so beautiful! Xiao Xi will look stunning in it!" Shen Yan was immediately captivated by the red evening gown.
"This little crown is so exquisite too! You'll be like a little princess wearing it," Song Daiyao said, her eyes fixed on the small, delicate crown in her hand.
"Your aunt and uncle are so warm!" Liang Yunfei said after looking at the gifts, glancing at the letter beside them.
"...May our dearest daughter have love in her heart and light in her eyes, living the life she desires."
Qiu Xi felt a warmth spread through her after hearing that. "I never expected my parents would really give me what I've always wanted."
"Another package, want to see what's in it?" After seeing these, Song Daiyao became even more curious about the other one.
"Yes, let's open it."
Saying this, she picked up the scissors and started to unpack, though she already had a hunch in her heart.
"This is a gift too! But it looks like it's from your friends," Song Daiyao, the gossip queen, guessed as soon as she opened it.
"Yes, it's from friends."
Qiu Xi smiled. It was indeed the four of them.
"Necklace, bracelet, anklet, earrings... This is clearly from best friends, a whole set of jewelry."
"Mmm, and they're all engraved with names. Not only are the jewelry beautiful, but the prices are also quite something. You wouldn't give gifts like these unless you were truly good friends."
Shen Yan looked seriously, while Song Daiyao and Liang Yunfei chatted alongside her, exchanging comments.
"The blessings are wonderful too... You've reached eighteen, long live youth, and you're finally becoming an adult without even realizing it."
"Yes, truly great best friends!" Qiu Xi, listening to her roommates' conversation, didn't forget to praise her own good friends.
"Alright, Xiao Xi, hurry up and put them away properly. Take good care of your gifts."
"Yes, put them away quickly."
After admiring them, the girls busied themselves urging Qiu Xi to pack them up quickly to avoid any damage.
"Okay, okay, I'll pack them now."
Seeing her roommates' anxious expressions, Qiu Xi couldn't help but want to laugh. They were too cute.
After packing, Qiu Xi immediately called her parents.
"Did you receive the things?" As soon as she saw the delivery notification, Mom Qiu knew her daughter must have received them.
"I got them! Thank you, Mom and Dad."
"Alright, alright, you're just like your father. Let's not get so sentimental, mother and daughter. It gives me goosebumps."
"Pfft, okay!" Seeing her mother like this, Qiu Xi was used to it. Her mother was a strong-willed woman.
"Oh, right. Your father and I were discussing, you mentioned wanting to have a photoshoot before, right? We're ready to transfer some money to you to go do it."
"No need! I still have some. But you and Dad reminded me. I'll find some time later to do it and show you the pictures once they're done." Hearing her mother mention it, Qiu Xi's own dream of a photoshoot resurfaced.
"Okay, let us know if you need money." Hearing her daughter say that, Mom Qiu didn't say much more.
"Mhm, mhm."
...
Next, the mother and daughter chatted for a while. In the middle of their conversation, Dad Qiu also returned, and the three of them talked for over an hour.
"Alright, that's all for today."
"Okay, bye-bye~"
