Proud of her brother

By the time Jinjing reached home, it was already time to head to college. The moment she entered her house, her parents were ready to leave for work.

Mama Lee saw Jinjing and emotionally hugged and wished her "my little girl has grown up so fast. Aww… baby, happy birthday my darling. Wish you all the love and success." Kissing Jinjing's forehead she picked her bag and coat up and headed to the hospital "hun we will celebrate at dinner, okay?"

Jinjing smiled and nodded in agreement.

Papa Lee brought a fancy gift bag and handed it to Jinjing. "happy birthday my baby girl. However old you grow, you will always be papa's little princess." Kissing her forehead, he promised to meet at dinner and left for work.

Jinjing made her way up to her room and opened Papa Lee's gift. She saw a beautiful baby pink colored knee length dress. She decided to wear it to college today.

The elegant dress, with a boat neck adorned with pearls and shoulder length sleeves, fitted her well up to her waist and spread into an A cut style up to her knee. A belt tied in a bow clinched her tiny waist.

As it was autumn and the breeze was cooler, Jinjing paired her dress with a white faux fur jacket. Tying her hair up into a ponytail and a hint of lip tint, voila! Jinjing was read to rock.

Stuffing her things in a matching bag, Jinjing's eyes fell on the ring on her finger.

Shocked, Jinjing thought to herself 'gosh!!! I completely forgot about this… Good lord! I suppose ma and pa did not see it.'

Taking the ring and threading it in the chain, Jinjing wore it around her neck and securely hid it in her dress. Heaving a sigh of relief, she went out to the waiting Meili.

Yes, first time in so many years Meili was waiting for Jinjing. Well she did not turn a new leaf over, she was the same old happy go luck Meili but, she needed first-hand information of the previous night.

She even skipped her breakfast because firstly, she would be late and secondly, she wouldn't be able to digest anything with getting all the news.

Even before Jinjing could step into the car, just by looking at Meili's face, she could guess what was up with her bestie.

"good morning!!! So how was it? What gift did my bro give you? What did you do? Are you tired by any chance…????"

Meili just shot her questions one after the other in a single breath. Jinjing had just sat in the car and had not even put her seat belt on.

"hold your horses girl!!!! Slowly. You will choke on your saliva."

Saying so, Jinjing fastened her seatbelt, adjusted her dress and gestured Meili to drive.

Almost 5 minutes into the drive and Jinjing had still not divulged any information. Impatient Meili, nudged her "hey!!! Come on. Quickly, spill the beans."

Jinjing pretended to think, feel shy… basically she was buying time to avoid having to reveal all the information. But she was aware, Meili would not let her off so easily.

"well your brother decorated the house, we had all my favorite dishes for dinner. After cutting the cake, we spoke and watched the stars." Jinjing halted and a blush started creeping up her neck to her face, recollecting the events of last night.

Meili noticed her coy look and did not hold back from teasing her. To deviate Meili from the topic, Jinjing showed her the ring Liang gifted her.

"wow that's beautiful." Meili was proud of her brother.
