Fu Shihan has always maintained the attitude of "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water" in his life, he is modest and polite, and rarely makes people feel uncomfortable.
But this time, he actually rejected Huo Sinuan's birthday gift in public, which basically made her lose face.
Although the reason given was that the gift was too expensive, which one of the gifts from the previous cousins was cheaper? He didn't accept it readily, but Huo Sinuan sent it, so he didn't accept it.
Everyone didn't understand the reason, but Huo Sinuan's eyes were already red, trying not to let the tears fall.
At this time, Fu Shihan's mother, Ms. Tang Wanzhi, came over: "Shihan, Si Nuan gave you a gift from her heart, accept it quickly."
Fu Shihan listened to his mother very much on weekdays, and everyone thought that if she spoke, Fu Shihan would accept this gift no matter what.
However, Fu Shihan shook his head, and the previous sentence was too precious to be accepted.
Tang Wanzhi understood his son's stubbornness, since he had already rejected it twice in public, it showed that he was determined and would not accept this gift no matter what.
She had no choice but to turn around and comfort Huo Sinuan: "Nuan Nuan, this gift is indeed too expensive, Shi Han can't accept it, auntie thank you for your kindness on his behalf."
Huo Sinuan's nails were smashed on the black gift box, and the nail caps turned white, which shows how hard she worked.
"It's okay." When Huo Sinuan spoke, his lips were trembling: "It's okay, it's not expensive at all, it's only 20,000 yuan, I just think such things are worthy of Brother Shihan, since he doesn't like it ,Never mind."
She carefully maintains her dignity, not wanting to be looked down upon by others, and she doesn't want to be looked down upon by the partners around her.
He could accept the same expensive gift from others, but he would not accept it from Huo Sinuan, even saying that he couldn't bear it.
He was obviously embarrassing her, obviously looking down on her family...
Huo Sinuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down his emotions. However, at this moment, the gift box in his hand was suddenly taken away, Huo Sinuan suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that the gift box was held in Huo Yan's hand.
"what are you doing!"
Huo Yan stared at Huo Sinuan, the hand holding the gift box trembled slightly: "Twenty thousand yuan, not expensive at all?"
Huo Sinuan was in a bad mood, and reprimanded: "Huo Yan, don't mess around, give me the things."
She stepped forward to take the box from Huo Yan's hand, but Huo Yan took a step back and avoided her.
"You asked your parents for money to buy this?" Huo Yan stared at her fiercely, and asked in a deep voice, "It cost 20,000 yuan?"
Huo Sinuan felt bad, and didn't understand why Huo Yan, who was always cowardly and harmless, suddenly looked at her with that look.
"Huo Sinuan, are you going too far? Your parents' salary is only a few thousand yuan a month, and you asked your parents to give you 20,000 yuan just to give you gifts." Huo Yan's voice was a little hoarse: "You know this Where did the money come from?"
Huo Sinuan's complexion suddenly changed. She carefully maintained her self-esteem in front of her friends. She never mentioned her parents' work, and she avoided talking about her family, because she didn't want to be looked down upon.
But Huo Yan exposed everything she tried so hard to cover up so easily...
She yelled at Huo Yan like crazy: "I won't let you talk anymore, just shut up! You are shameless, I want more!"
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Huo Yan's reaction, she snatched the box in her hand, turned around and ran out of the gate.
Tang Wanzhi worried about what would happen if Huo Sinuan ran out so emotionally, so she quickly said, "Shihan, go and see Sinuan."
However, Fu Shihan held Huo Yan's slender wrist tightly at this moment, his eyes were full of her, he comforted her in a low voice, trying to calm her down, he couldn't control others.
Seeing this, Tang Wanzhi understood a little bit, and hurriedly called a few cousins to chase Huo Sinuan.
As soon as she left, Tang Qianmo immediately became fussy again: "Hey hey hey, today is my cousin's birthday, don't make trouble because of someone else, come on, let's keep playing."
Tang Wanzhi said to Fu Shihan: "Son, come with me to the study."
Huo Yan looked at Fu Shihan worriedly.
He followed his mother to the study on the second floor, and when he got up, he patted the back of Huo Yan's head lightly, lowering his eyes to give her a reassuring look.
Twenty minutes later, Fu Shihan came out of the study, and his friends were playing game consoles in the living room, but Huo Yan was nowhere to be seen. Fu Shihan went around on the second floor and found her in his room.
She crossed her legs and sat alone by the bay window. The sun shone into the room through the beige curtains, coating her whole body by the window with a layer of soft light.
The slender and light brows are tightly furrowed, the eyelashes are thick and curled, and the plump lips are like pink cherry petals.
She was bent over, holding the old Rolex watch in her hand.
Fu Shihan walked over without a sound, and sat by the bay window beside her, his gaze swept across the watch in her hand like the light wind, and then fell on her frowning brows.
He reached out and rubbed her forehead until she flattened her forehead.
"You bought that gift with the money you earned from a part-time job?" He asked aloud.
Huo Yan knew that he couldn't hide it from Fu Shihan, he was so smart, he should know it without even thinking about it, what's more, now that Su Wan chatted with Xu Mingyi on WeChat every night, Su Wan would shake out any little secrets she had.
So Huo Yan nodded.
"The purpose of the part-time job is also for this?"
"Yes." She confessed the whole thing: "I think you are already an adult, and I shouldn't be like a child, giving you things that can't be put on the table."
Fu Shihan pursed his lips, walked to his desk, opened the second-to-last drawer of the cabinet, and murmured: "Come and see my treasure."
Huo Yan poked his head curiously.
On the bottom layer were several pages of stick figure paper, and a pop-up card that she folded by herself. On the drawing paper lay a simple scarecrow doll, and other odds and ends stuck to it.
A cabinet full of it was a birthday present she gave him every year on his birthday.
Fu Shihan looked at them with a certain kind of profound softness in his eyes.
"You keep them all?"
Huo Yan was very surprised, she thought that these little things were no longer there, after all, every time he received a gift, Fu Shihan always disliked it sarcastically, saying that she was the only one who would give these little things he made himself. Son.
Huo Yan always felt that he didn't seem to cherish and care about these small things, but she really didn't have the ability to give him game consoles, baseball caps or digital products that young people like like his friends.
This year's gift was already the best she could give him.
"The gift you gave doesn't need to be put on the stage, it's all here." Fu Shihan took her hand and slapped her left chest hard.
It's all in his heart.
Huo Yan blushed inexplicably.
Fu Shihan closed the cabinet door again, and said to Huo Yan, "You know now?"
Huo Yan stuck out her tongue: "Understood."
Fu Shihan smiled faintly, and raised the gift box in his hand: "However... this year's gift is very heavy, so I thought about it and thought that I should compensate you something."
"No need." Huo Yan waved his hand: "It's okay, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Shihan hugged her and bumped into his arms, choking the rest of her words in her throat.
"How about a hug?"
Fu Shihan pressed the back of her head with one hand, and pressed her into his hard chest. Huo Yan's face was pressed against his tight and burning skin through a thin layer of shirt fabric.
She could even hear his beating heart, so lively and warm.
Huo Yan's brain began to congest, and he tightly grasped the shirt at his waist, holding down some folds.
Fu Shihan's hug seemed to use all his strength, as if he wanted to wring her into his body.
Huo Yan coughed lightly, and muttered, "I'm... I can't breathe."
Only then did Fu Shihan let her go, and the two of them sat by the bay window for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange, so he stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, and taught him a lesson: "In the future, without my consent, don't spend money lightly. money."
"No more." Huo Yan covered his forehead: "It's just once a year, and I can make a lot of money in the future, so I can buy you better gifts."
A smile bloomed on the corner of Fu Shihan's mouth: "You like to give me presents?"
Huo Yan giggled, and patted him on the shoulder: "If you treat me well, I will treat you better, and I will never let you suffer."
Fu Shihan lowered his head, looked into her bright eyes, reached out and pulled her ponytail, and murmured: "Silly girl."
"What did Auntie tell you, did you blame you?" Huo Yan just remembered, and asked quickly.
"It's still the same thing, saying that I should treat your sister better, and shouldn't embarrass her in front of so many people."
Huo Yan asked again: "Then what do you say?"
"Guess what I'm going to say."
"I can't guess." Huo Yan replied honestly.
Fu Shihan seldom disobeys his family, but he also has his own principles to stick to in many things.
"I told her that there is nothing that should or shouldn't be done. Being nice to someone comes from the heart." Fu Shihan lowered his eyes, and his long and thick eyelashes covered his eyelids.
He looked at her seriously, his eyes sparkling: "In this world, I will only be nice to one woman, and that is my wife."
Huo Yan nodded approvingly, and said hastily: "Auntie will definitely say that if you marry my sister in the future, she will be your wife."
Fu Shihan raised his voice slightly, and said with a smile: "So I also told her that if she must marry the Huo family's daughter, that person should be..."
However, before he could say anything, Tang Qianmo knocked on the door suddenly: "Brother, hurry up and help me, that bastard Shen Yuran has won several rounds against me!"
Fu Shihan rolled his eyes, picked up his sandals, got up and walked to open the door.
Tang Qianmo got into the room with his small head, looked at Fu Shihan, then at Huo Yan, rolled his black eyes, and lowered his voice: "Did I... bother you?"
"What do you say?"
"I was wrong brother!" Tang Qianmo repeatedly apologized: "But since you have already been disturbed, then you are a good person to the end, help me play a game with Shen Yuran, we lost the slap, he slapped me several times , you want to help me avenge!"
Fu Shihan's face was full of disgust, probably only Tang Qianmo and Shen Yuran could think of this kind of play.
Tang Qianmo shouted at Huo Yan behind him again: "Sister Huo Yan, do you want to play together? It's very exciting! Hey!"
Fu Shihan grabbed Tang Qianmo by the collar, lifted her up, and raised his tone slightly: "Don't want to live anymore?"
