Sheng Tang spent Christmas with Jiang Baocu, who bought noise-canceling headphones for Sheng Tang as her birthday gift.
"These are very practical," Sheng Tang thanked.
On New Year’s Day of that year, a light snow fell.
The flurrying snow lted as soon as it hit the ground, not enough to form a scenery. Only the treetops retained a touch of white, adorning the desolate winter.
As usual, Gu Shiting spent New Year’s Day at the Sheng Family.
On Sheng Tang’s birthday, he was also at the Sheng Family, bringing a large cake and cooking a table full of dishes.
The cake was still ordered from that very famous bakery.
"Tangtang is a year older again," the grandmother and parents were quite sentintal.
Compared to this ti last year, Sheng Tang was thinner. Now, she was even more beautiful than Cheng Ruojun in her youth.
The tis were different. In Cheng Ruojun’s era, there was sotis not enough food, and nutrition was lacking. The overall environnt wasn’t as good as it is now. The spirit and energy in Sheng Tang were sothing Cheng Ruojun didn’t have.
Her eyes were clear and bright, adding more vivacity.
"Can I propose next year at this ti?" Gu Shiting suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at him.
Sheng Tang laughed, "Does your school allow students to get married?"
"They do!" Gu Shiting imdiately said, "I checked. As long as you apply, you can get married anyti once you reach the age."
"But you won’t be old enough next year," Sheng Tang said.
Gu Shiting was only a year older than her.
She had just turned twenty, and Gu Shiting was only twenty-one, under the legal marriage age.
Gu Shiting: "..."
Sheng Tang was almost dying of laughter, "You keep an eye on all the ti but never look at yourself?"
Gu Shiting indeed hadn’t looked at himself.
Because he was willing to marry Sheng Tang no matter what obstacles. He was just worried about any changes on Sheng Tang’s side and was eager to marry her.
Professor Sheng also laughed, "Young man, work a bit harder and co back the year after next."
Everyone burst into laughter.
In this warm atmosphere, everyone had smiles on their faces.
Sotis Sheng Tang would think, how could life be so sweet? Is there so difficulty waiting ahead?
Otherwise, how could everything be so smooth now? Life usually has its bumps and twists, that’s normal.
She was cautious even in comfort, feeling a bit uneasy.
Maybe others had the sa thought, just not expressing it.
The only ones carefree were Gu Shiting and Sheng Zong.
Grandmother finished cleaning up the dinner table and took out the cake to cut, then soone knocked on the door.
Sheng Tang said, "I’ll get it."
She was completely unprepared, thinking it was a neighbor visiting, and opened the door directly.
Then, she was stunned.
She saw Xu Bingzhi standing at the door with a small box in his hand, presumably prepared as a birthday gift for Sheng Tang.
It was very cold outside, his cheeks and ears were red from the cold, and when he spoke, you could see his breath. He smiled at Sheng Tang, "Happy birthday, Tangtang."
He didn’t go inside.
Sheng Tang didn’t take his gift, just stared at him wide-eyed, not knowing what to do.
Everyone in the house heard the commotion.
Grandmother and parents ca over and saw the scene, feeling a bit uneasy.
Professor Sheng looked at his mother-in-law’s expression.
Grandmother lowered her eyelids slightly, reluctant to make Sheng Tang feel awkward, and said to Xu Bingzhi, "Since you’re here, co in and have a seat, and have so cake."
Xu Bingzhi thanked her.
Fang ngying took a pair of slippers for him and received the gift from him, passing it to Sheng Tang, "Tangtang, thank your Uncle Xu."
Sheng Tang: "Thank you, Uncle Xu."
Xu Bingzhi gave a bitter smile.
After he ca in, he saw Gu Shiting, nodded at him, and showed no surprise.
He had always been very attentive to Sheng Tang, knowing she beca Young Master Gu’s girlfriend. He had even hired soone to secretly take photos of Sheng Tang and Young Master Gu holding hands and dating on campus.
