Chapter 127 Determining the Relationship

Huo Xunye stepped forward and took the bowls and chopsticks from her hand, pushed her down on the seat to rest, and said, "I'll clean it up, you go and have a rest. You must be exhausted from cooking so many dishes."

Wen Xin felt quite warm when she saw him turn around to clean up.

After everything was packed up, Wen Xin and Huo Xunye were the only two people in the room.

Huo Xunye took the bag he had brought before and said, "Xinxin, here are other birthday gifts."

Wen Xin was a little surprised, "Ah, are there more?"

Huo Xunye smiled and said, "Of course. I missed so many of your previous birthdays, so of course I have to make up for it."

Wen Xin was a little touched by his words and said incoherently, "It doesn't matter actually. The watch you gave me is very valuable. I..."

"Xinxin," Huo Xunye interrupted her and said firmly, "You are the best in my heart, and of course you deserve the best gift."

Next, he took them out of the bag one by one and introduced them.

"This is an old newspaper and stamps, issued the year you were born. That year, our hearts were still little babies, so they must have been particularly cute."

"This is a safe lock. Our hearts have turned one year old."

"This is a rattle, and our hearts should be able to walk."

"This is a small bowl, a small rice bowl dedicated to my heart."

"This is a bow-knot headband, used to tie Xinxin's hair."

"This is a tiger-head shoe. We can walk fast and walk well."

"This is a set of stationery, including pencils, erasers and notebooks. Our Xinxin is six years old and can learn to write."

"This is a rag doll that can accompany seven-year-old Xinxin to sleep."

"This is a box of candies. Xinxin can eat candies."

"This is a schoolbag. Xinxin is going to school."

"This is a book that a ten-year-old mind can understand a lot."

"This is a pair of sneakers. I hope that the eleven-year-old Xinxin will exercise more, eat well, and be in good health."

"This is a skirt. Xinxin is twelve years old, so she must be very beautiful."

"This is a bicycle ticket and money to buy a bicycle. We are thinking about junior high school."

"This is a lunch box, and there are these meat stamps and food stamps. I hope we can eat a lot of delicious food in school."

"This is a pen. I hope Xinxin can write many words with it."

"This is a Nizi coat. I'll wear it when the weather gets cold."

"This is a hat, scarf, gloves, and cotton shoes. We Xinxin graduated from high school and will go to the countryside soon."

"And this is a set of gold jewelry, a coming-of-age gift for Xinxin. This jade bracelet is a birthday gift from my grandparents to Xinxin. Xinxin keeps them."

Wen Xin watched Huo Xunye take them out one by one and talked about what kind of gifts they were. Her eyes were red and her nose was sour.

She looked at Huo Xunye and said in a choked voice, "Huo Xunye."

He replied, "Yeah, I'm here."

Seeing her red eyes and tears falling, he carefully wiped them away for her and said, "Xinxin, don't cry."

Wen Xin said, "Why are you so nice?"

Huo Xunye smiled and said, "Because you have a good heart and you deserve my kindness to you."

Wen Xin looked at the pile of things in front of her and said, "You must have spent a lot of money on this."

Huo Xunye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Don't worry, I have money."

"Oh." Wen Xin looked at each one carefully.

After a while, Wen Xin said, "Huo Xunye, I promise you."

Huo Xunye was stunned, raised his head and asked, "What did you say?"

Wen Xin lowered her head and said, "Forget it if you didn't hear me."

Huo Xunye quickly grabbed her hand and said domineeringly, "No, you just said you agreed to be my partner. You can't go back on it."

Wen Xin twitched but didn't pull out.

"I know." Wen Xin said with a smile.

Huo Xunye hugged Wen Xin happily, his tone full of joy and excitement.

"Xinxin, it's great, it's great."

Wen Xin patted his back and said softly, "Boyfriend, please give me more advice in the future."

Huo Xunye gritted his teeth and said, "Girlfriend, I will definitely treat you well in the future."

After saying this, Wen Xin looked at the jade bracelet given by Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo, and felt a little confused, "What should I do with this?"

Huo Xunye said, "It doesn't matter, just keep it safely."

Wen Xin said, "This is too expensive."

Huo Xunye comforted him and said, "It's okay. I will give it to you in the future anyway."

"Huh?" Wen Xin was a little confused.

"This is a bracelet specially passed down to my daughter-in-law from my family." Huo Xunye said proudly.

After hearing this, Wen Xin hit him and said, "Did you plan it already?"

Huo Xunye quickly said, "No, no. My grandparents must like you very much, so they will give it to you."

Wen Xin said, "Okay. I'll get something after that, and you can deliver it to Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo."

Huo Xunye asked, "Xinxin, let's go see our grandparents together when we have time later."

Wen Xin nodded, "Okay."

Huo Xunye saw her nodding and immediately laughed, looking very silly.

"Xinxin, I'll do whatever you want for dinner." Huo Xunye, who had fulfilled his wish, was like a peacock with its wings spread.

"You can do whatever you want. I even made a cake." Wen Xin said.

"Cake? Xinxin, you are so good. You can also make cakes." Huo Xunye praised.

Wen Xin was a little embarrassed. All she got were ready-made cake embryos and cream.

"You go ahead and I'll cut the cake and give a portion to the others."

Huo Xunye nodded, "Okay, then I'll make pickled fish and stew cabbage and tofu."

"Okay, Huo Xunye, you're great." Wen Xin gave a thumbs up.

However, Huo Xunye was a little unhappy, "Xinxin, why don't you call me by another name."

Wen Xin was a little stunned, "What do you want, Ah Xun? Ah Ye?"

Huo Xunye immediately said, "Then let's call her Aye."

Seeing his excitement, Wen Xin smiled and said, "Okay, Aye."

Huo Xunye went to cook immediately.

Wen Xin took the cake out from where it was covered. It won't work if you leave it indoors. It's too warm and the cream will melt.

Eight portions were divided into bowls, one for Wanqing, one for Yingying, one for Sister Yumei, one for Sister Qian, and four portions for the male educated youths.

Zhao Wanqing was particularly surprised when she saw the cake, "Xinxin, what is this?"

Wen Xin said, "For the birthday cake, I used the fruit you gave me and put a little more on it myself. It feels okay."

Zhang Yingying next to her said exaggeratedly, "That's not okay, that's really good. Xinxin, you are so awesome."

Wen Xin scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "Eat quickly."

After going back, Huo Xunye was still busy working.

She looked at Huo Xunye's back and felt that happiness was materialized in front of her eyes.

From coming here, to going to the countryside, making friends, becoming a teacher, and now having a boyfriend, she feels like her life has been reborn, more exciting and more vibrant.

"Xinxin, can you bring me the bowl?" Huo Xunye said softly when he heard the sound of opening the door.

"Okay, here we come."
