Her mother had just called her today to say that there was a birthday party this weekend. Now, Li Zixia was saying that it was her birthday that weekend. It was too much of a coincidence.
Xie Yingying was also sighing. “Li Zixia, if it’s your birthday, will your family organize a large-scale birthday party for you? Then the people who go will be either wealthy or influential, right? Isn’t it inappropriate for me to go?”
She was just from a well-off family!
Li Zixia said, “It’s fine. I’ll also invite a few high school classmates. My parents are using my birthday as a treat. We will play and they’ll socialize among themselves. Don’t worry!”
Just as Xie Yingying heaved a sigh of relief, she asked nervously, “Then what should I do if the gift I prepared is not too expensive?”
Li Zixia waved her hand. “It’s fine. It’s up to them to decide! Although my things are expensive, they only emit golden light from head to toe. They don’t have any humanity.”
Xie Yingying: “…You also seem to be emitting a golden light.”
Li Zixia turned to look at Xue Xi. “Sister Xi, are you coming?”
Xue Xi thought for a moment and said, “Wait a moment. I’ll discuss it with my mother.”
Li Zixia: “?”
Was there a need to discuss such matters?
Stunned, she saw Xue Xi pick up her phone and walk to the balcony before closing the door.
Xue Xi called Ye Li and briefly explained Li Zixia’s request. Ye Li then said, “Of course, your classmates are more important. They sent me an invitation to such a banquet, but actually, it doesn’t matter if you go or not. I can go alone. I know a few people there.”
Xue Xi nodded.
After hanging up, Xue Xi returned to the dormitory and told Li Zixia, “I can go.”
Li Zixia heaved a sigh of relief.
Xue Xi thought about it. Li Zixia’s skin seemed to frequently have problems. Hence, she sent Xiang Huai a message and asked him to prepare another set of skincare products for her, intending to give them to Li Zixia as a birthday present.
…
Liu Zhao moved to another dormitory very quickly. After staying in their dormitory for another day, she moved to another dormitory for good.
Hence, the room that originally had four people now had three.
The military training also ended very quickly. The person in charge of their class was undoubtedly Xue Xi.
It was unknown if the instructors had specifically instructed them or not, but the fact that Xue Xi’s boyfriend was Xiang Huai only spread to a small circle and did not spread to a large area.
After the military training exercise went smoothly, everyone bade farewell to the instructors.
When she was sending him off, Xue Xi saw Lu Chao, who had come to fetch Xiang Huai.
It had been a few months since they last met in Bin City. Xue Xi was a little surprised to see him, so she asked, “Are you in the capital too?”
Canine Teeth smiled and revealed his two canine teeth. He still looked cute. “Yes, Sister Xi. If you’re free, you can come and play with us.”
Xue Xi nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xiang Huai standing between her and Canine Teeth with a dark expression. He looked at her aggrievedly. “Little kid, aren’t you reluctant for me to leave too?”
Reluctant?
Actually, thinking about it, she was a little reluctant.
She had suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar environment, but with a familiar person like Xiang Huai accompanying her, she had been exceptionally free during this half a month.
After this person had left, after dinner, she could only go do questions and read books. There was no place for her to go to, right?
Although she thought this, Xue Xi would not admit it. She said, “Remember to prepare my skincare products. I want to give them to Li Zixia as a gift.”
Lu Chao: “?”
Sister Xi, do you know how expensive that set of skincare products is?! That was a prescription that the imperial physicians used to concoct Chinese medicine. Many of the herbs inside are priceless!
Xiang Huai nodded. “Sure.”
To him, this was a small matter.
…
After the instructors left, everyone rested for a day and it was the weekend.
On Friday night, Ye Li and Xue Sheng came to fetch Xue Xi home and promised Li Zixia that they would send Xue Xi over during the weekend.
Li Zixia also returned home on Saturday. She had to prepare many things for the banquet. For example… after being tanned for the past few days, she had to at least do a beautiful spa. Even if it was useless, she had to lie to herself.
Soon, it was the weekend.
Li Zixia was pulled up early in the morning to dress up. The makeup artist was called home as though she was going to do something big.
Li Zixia yawned and looked at herself in the mirror as she spoke to Gu Peng.
The Li family and the Gu family were old friends. Although the two families did not say anything to the children, they actually agreed to their marriage.
Li Zixia liked Gu Peng and Gu Peng liked Li Zixia. Both parents could see that, so Gu Peng came early in the morning to attend Li Zixia’s birthday.
Gu Peng was smiling. “You can’t use this color foundation anymore, right? It’s at least two degrees darker.”
Li Zixia: “…Brother Gu Peng, shut up if you can’t speak nicely!”
Gu Peng covered his mouth and smiled. Then, he looked at Li Zixia in the mirror. “The people who came today are all used to it and don’t need you to socialize with them. I know that you called your two roommates over, so let me remind you. I think they’re about the same size as you. Prepare two sets of gowns for them to wear. Don’t make it too ugly when the time comes. As for the others, I’ll try my best to remind them and be more friendly to your friends…”
As Gu Peng said this, he thought to himself, If I let those two people see Li Zixia’s family, they’ll feel the difference. That Xue Xi won’t act high and mighty in front of Li Zixia.
Sigh, since Zixia likes her so much, I’ll help Xiao Xia conquer her.
However—
Gu Peng said, “Ms. Night Li’s daughter will be coming too. You must give her face when the time comes, understand?”
Li Zixia nodded. “Got it, got it!”
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Xie Yingying and Xue Xi: “Come early tonight.”
Five in the afternoon.
The Li family’s banquet started at 6:30 PM. Hence, Xue Xi went to her classmate’s house earlier so that Uncle Li could send Ye Li after.
When Xue Xi left, Ye Li even reminded her, “Don’t come back too late. Also, tell Uncle Li to fetch you first. Your father and I are not in a hurry.”
Xue Xi nodded. “Okay.”
After getting in the car, Xue Xi reported the Li family’s address. Uncle Li drove following the navigation and sent her over. After Xue Xi alighted, Uncle Li returned home.
At six o’clock, Ye Li and Xue Sheng got in the car and set off. Ye Li reported the address. “Jadeite Court, villa 108.”
Uncle Li was stunned.
Ye Li asked, “Why?”
Uncle Li said, “I just sent Missy over.”
Ye Li: “?”
So Xue Xi’s classmate was from the Li family that had invited her???
After all this, they were going to the same house! It was her fault! When she heard that it was a classmate’s house, she did not ask for the address. Now, Uncle Li even made two trips! She really did not know whether to laugh or cry!
“…”
