Lunch

Yu Chen took out another small box and slid it across the table.

Xi Hua and Huo Zenghai were puzzled.

"Just how many things you bought for us?" Xi Hua said as she looked at the box.

Yu Chen waved her hands, "Not even one per each year. Anyway, open up."

Xi Hua. opened the box, looked at the contents, and asked, "This is.....?"

Yu Chen took the box, took out a necklace and gave it to Zenghai. She then took out a ring and gave it to Hua.

Yu Chen: "It's a couple's jwellery. Nice, don't you think." Xi Hua looked at the ring in her hand and the necklace in Huo Zenghai's. It could clearly be seen that it was for a couple.

"Now come on, put them on each other." Yu Chen urged as Xi Hua placed the ring on Huo Zenghai's finger and Zenghai put the necklace around Hua's neck.

Yu Chen gave a satisfied smile as she leaned back in her chair. But suddenly she shivered as she felt a cold gust of wind from her right side.

Yu Chen looked to see Si Xia's face looking like it was frozen in ice. She was dumbfounded, "What is he so angry about? Just now he was all emotional." She thought as Si Xia turned to look at Chen with a dark expression.

Yu Chen: "What?"

Si Xia said nothing as he put out out his hand.

Yu Chen looked at his outstretched hand and then at his face. She blinked in a confused way.

Si Xia's heart melted upon seeing Chen's cute face. But he still maintained the icy exterior as he said, "You gave Hua three. Zenghai two. Where's my other gift."

Yu Chen: "....."

"Did this dude forget to grow up while I was away?" Yu Chen thought.

She said, "You don't lack anything. What could I possibly get you?"

Si Xia leaned closer as he said, "I'll tell you afterwards. But you're going to have to promise me to give it."

Yu Chen: "If it's within my capabilities, I most definitely will."

Si Xia gave a devilish smiled as the food arrived.

They were all hungry, so they dug in.

Yu Chen had only had a light breakfast, and her eyes shone as she saw a plate of pork dumplings. She forgot all table manners as she dug in, stuffing a whole dumpling in her mouth.

She turned her head and saw Si Xia looking at her, his eyes tender. Yu Chen picked up a dumpling and took it to his mouth, managing to speak a few words with her mouth full, "They're sooooo good. Try them."

Si Xia chuckled and took a napkin to wipe off the sauce on the corners of her mouth, before taking a bite of the dumpling.

Yu Chen pouted, "You couldn't even take the whole in. Hmf. You've got no courage." She said as she placed the rest of the dumpling in Xia's bowl.

Across the table, Xi Hua nudged Huo Zenghai in the chest, "Look, he's so caring. Xia even wiped her mouth. Be more like him."

Huo Zenghai chuckled, "Chen fed him. And you, look at you. Hogging all the food."

Yu Chen laughed as she enjoyed their bickering.
