Chapter 158 Parents’ Suspicion
Chapter 158 Parents’ Suspicion
After receiving the birthday present from Tang Yuze, Xia Jinxi sat on the sofa and held the ring in her hand, looking at it left and right.
"Xiao Xi, let's eat this cake tonight."
In addition to the ring necklace of the Eternal Hunter Twins, Tang Yuze also ordered a big cake and just got it back.
"Good~"
Xia Jinxi first took a photo of the big cake her brother bought and sent it to Lin Hui, then ran to the kitchen to wash her hands.
While she was washing her hands, Lin Hui called her on WeChat video and Tang Yuze answered the call for her.
"Why is it you, kid? Where's Xiaoxi?"
When Lin Hui saw that it was Tang Yuze instead of Xia Jinxi who answered the phone, her face was full of disgust.
"Washing my hands."
The corners of Tang Yuze's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, you are really my biological mother.
"The injuries you sustained some time ago should have healed, right? Are there any sequelae?"
"No, I'm completely healed."
"That's all, hurry up and give the phone to Xiao Xi. I want to see my good daughter!"
After briefly expressing concern about Tang Yuze's injury, Lin Hui yelled at Tang Yuze to hand the phone to Xia Jinxi.
"Here I come, long time no see, mom."
Without waiting for Tang Yuze to return the phone to Xia Jinxi, Xia Jinxi squeezed over and appeared in the same frame with Tang Yuze.
"Hey! My dear daughter, how have you been recently? Is studying hard?"
As soon as Xia Jinxi arrived, Lin Hui asked her a few routine questions for phone calls.
"Of course, studying is hard, but with my brother around, it's not too tiring."
Xia Jinxi turned her head and looked at Tang Yuze. Where the camera couldn't see her, her little hand very dishonestly grabbed Tang Yuze's big hand.
Then, interlock your fingers.
Give him another playful wink~
This girl, dare to play like this under my mother's nose...
It seems like he really needs to be dealt with!
"I'm sorry, Mom is still very busy at work and really doesn't have time to go home and celebrate Xiaoxi's birthday."
Because of what Xia Wenxuan did some time ago, Tang Liu and Lin Hui both came back and stayed for two weeks.
Once I take these two weeks off, I will have to work overtime endlessly.
The recent intense overtime work made Lin Hui feel like she was going to get crow's feet.
"It's okay. My brother is at home. The big cake Xiaoxi just sent was also ordered by my brother."
"Humph, this kid has a conscience."
Lin Hui snorted coldly, and then Tang Liu also appeared on the screen.
"Xiao Xi, what's that hanging around your neck?"
The sharp-eyed Tang Liu noticed the thin rope around Xia Jinxi's neck as soon as he arrived and asked her.
"This, this is a birthday gift my brother gave me. It's a custom-made necklace!"
Xia Jinxi happily took off the necklace from her neck and held it close to her phone, then took off the one Tang Yuze was wearing.
"The two of them are still a pair, hehe!"
"this..."
Tang Liu and Lin Hui looked at the two well-made necklaces, looked at each other, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is it really okay for two high school students to wear these pairs of necklaces?
"The theme of this pair of necklaces is a character in League of Legends, a twin character composed of a wolf and a sheep, so the patterns on the necklaces are one wolf spirit and one sheep spirit."
Seeing that something seemed wrong, Tang Yuze quickly explained the background story of the necklace to his parents again.
Upon hearing that their matching necklaces were at most something related to a game character, Tang Liu and Lin Hui's frowns relaxed a little.
"A custom-made necklace should be very expensive, how much did it cost?"
"It wasn't that expensive. I just used some of my scholarship money."
Tang Yuze did not mention the specific amount. He knew that if his father knew that he spent five thousand, he would definitely say that he also wanted to contribute, and then give him at least three thousand in return.
He could just use the money from his own piggy bank to buy his sister's birthday present.
It just so happened that Tang Yuze hadn't bought any action figures or anything like that for a long time, so he might as well use that money to buy a birthday present for his sister.
"Okay, then you guys eat the cake, we'll hang up here first."
"Bye-Bye."
Lin Hui hung up the phone and turned to look at her husband.
"What do you think?"
"What do I think?"
"Yu Ze and Xiao Xi, I always feel like there's something wrong with these two kids recently..."
Although Tang Yuze said that the background story of the ring-shaped necklace was just a game character he liked, Lin Hui always felt something was wrong.
For example, when they were video chatting, the look in her Xiaoxi's eyes when she looked at Yuze always made her feel a little ambiguous.
"You're overthinking it. You and I both know what Yuze's situation is like. He's very honest and he wouldn't eat Xiaoxi."
If Tang Yuze heard what Tang Liu said, he would definitely say that it was his sister who started it first.
No matter how honest he is, it will be useless if Xia Jinxi is not honest.
While her parents were discussing this ambiguous necklace, Xia Jinxi was still blowing out the candles.
"I hope I can eat my brother clean this year..."
"Hey, you can make a wish, but don't read it out loud."
Tang Yuze has started sweating.
"Now that it's been read out, don't even think about realizing it this year."
"It doesn't matter. All the wishes I made before were to be with my brother. Isn't my brother going to confess his love to me in half a month?"
"How long have you been lusting after your brother's body?"
Tang Yuze thought about it and the last time he asked Xia Jinxi to make a wish seemed to be during the Chinese New Year.
It didn't seem like it had been long?
"Brother, from today on I am eighteen years old. What can I do at this age?"
Xia Jinxi happily snuggled into Tang Yuze's arms, then picked up a plastic knife to cut a piece of cake. While eating the cake, she deliberately put some cream on the corner of her mouth.
"Eighteen is a good age. In our country, men and women are considered adults at eighteen."
"Yeah, my question is what can I do when I turn 18?"
Xia Jinxi stuck out her little tongue and licked the cream off.
"When you turn 18, you have the right to vote and you have to bear civil and criminal responsibilities independently..."
"You know that's not what I meant."
"When you are 18 years old, you don't need to apply for a temporary card to go to an Internet cafe, and if you open a membership card, you can save one dollar per hour..."
"Hehe, I'll see how long brother can keep being stubborn."
There is a saying that Xia Jinxi likes very much, which is that no matter how hard the mouth is, it will become soft when kissed.
The brother and sister finished eating the big cake happily. When Tang Yuze was about to get some paper to wipe his mouth, he was stopped by Xia Jinxi.
She said she would help him wipe it and there was no need to waste paper.
Tang Yuze certainly knew that her method was not very decent, but considering that today was Xia Jinxi's birthday, he let her be willful this time.
When Tang Yuze was washing his face at night and looking in the mirror, he always felt that he could not wash away the feeling around his mouth.
