Chapter 107 Uninvited Guest

The winter rain is like fine threads, falling on the ground, adding a touch of coolness to the quiet campus.

As the bell rang, students rushed out of the classroom. Huai Xi stood up and packed her textbooks. When she was about to leave, she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Huai Xi, wait for me for a moment."

Pan Jiahui walked up to her shyly with a gift box in her hand and said in a weak voice, "Happy birthday to you! This is a gift I bought for you with my pocket money. It's not a very expensive thing, but I hope you like it."

Huai Xi was stunned for a moment. She had forgotten about her birthday. She came to her senses and quickly reached out to take the gift. She smiled warmly and said, "Thank you. I'm very happy to receive the gift."

When Pan Jiahui's mother came back from work, she was very sad to know that her daughter was sick. When she heard that Ruogu had treated her daughter for free without paying any medical expenses, she was very grateful and immediately prepared a lot of gifts to express her gratitude.

Pan Jiahui's mother wanted to pay the medical expenses, but Ruogu said that she had forgotten how much money, and the matter ended up in nothing.

After this incident, Pan Jiahui's mother said that Huai Xi was a loyal and righteous person and was a true friend worth associating with. Therefore, Pan Jiahui silently memorized Huai Xi's birthday, which led to what happened today.

The students who had not yet left the classroom saw Pan Jiahui giving gifts and shouted loudly: "Yu Huaixi, happy birthday~"

Huaixi's mood, which was originally depressed because of the weather, became brighter because of them. She tilted her head and smiled slightly, and said in a light voice: "Thank you everyone, I will treat everyone to snacks tomorrow~"

When the classmates heard this, they immediately cheered, but Fang Mingxu looked a little uncomfortable. He didn't even know when Huaixi's birthday was and didn't prepare a gift in advance. He felt very upset.

After making some noise in the class, they locked the door and left. Only Fang Mingxu and Huai Xi went together. Huai Xi held an umbrella in one hand and books and a gift box in the other, while Fang Mingxu walked in the rain with his hands in his pockets.

He looked at Huai Xi's back several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Huai Xi couldn't stand his hesitation, so he turned around and said with a smile: "Just say what you want to say, don't be so hesitant."

Fang Mingxu wiped the rain off his face and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your birthday today, so I didn't prepare a gift for you..."

The two of them had been together for a long time, and Huai Xi had developed some friendship with him as a classmate. She didn't care much and said, "You don't know, it's normal not to prepare a gift. I don't mind."

Fang Mingxu pursed his lips and said unhappily, "Anyway, it was my fault for not thinking it through. I'll go back and pick out a gift for you and give it to you later."

Huai Xi glanced at him sideways, and seeing that he looked serious, she could only chuckle and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your gift then."

Her words made Fang Mingxu smile again. When he arrived at the gate of Jishidiang and watched Huaixi's leaving back, Fang Mingxu also walked home briskly.

When Huaixi got home, she found that all the lights were off. Her mother and Sister Yang, who usually sat on the rattan chairs waiting for her, were not there. She turned on the lights in confusion, but the house was still quiet.

She put down the things in her hands, turned around and locked the door first. The lights in the backyard were on. She called inside in confusion, "Mom..."

Ruogu's voice rang out from the backyard. She said gently, "Huaixi, we are all here. Come over here quickly..." Huaixi felt relieved when she heard her mother's voice. As soon as she stepped into the backyard, she looked up and saw the carefully arranged festive decorations. Chi Zhengzheng shouted, "Huaixi, happy birthday!"

As soon as she shouted, someone immediately turned off the lights. Yu Yuan came out holding a cake. He sang the birthday song in a very charming voice. Huai Xi, who was always reserved, had slightly red eyes. She said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, why are you back?"

Yu Yuan gently rubbed her head lovingly and said in a steady voice: "My little princess is having a birthday, how can I not come back? You go make a wish and blow out the candles first. Hengheng can't wait to eat the cake."

Huai Xi burst into laughter. She hurried to the table, clasped her hands together, made a wish, and then blew out the candles.

Her birthday was not celebrated in a grand manner, but it was her first birthday here. She felt the strong love and care of her family and slept very soundly that night.

When she got up early, it was still drizzling. Huaixi didn't have to go to class on the weekend, so she stayed in bed a little longer. When she came out of the shower, she saw the fresh meat buns made by Sister Yang on the table, paired with century egg and lean meat porridge. It was simply delicious.

Yu Yuan was wearing home clothes and looked relaxed and comfortable. Ruogu looked up and saw that his daughter's face was rosy. He smiled and said, "Do you have any other plans today?"

Huai Xi took a bite of the big meat bun and said vaguely, "I'm fine. Do you have any plans with dad?"

Ruogu raised her lips, and said in a brisk voice, "Your father and I are going to take you to the amusement park. Don't you want to try out those exciting rides? It just so happens that your father can accompany you."

Huaixi widened her eyes in surprise and said in disbelief, "Dad can go play too?"

Yu Yuan nodded slightly, "I'm not a criminal suspect, so of course I can go anywhere. From now on, weekends will be family days, and I will try to arrange as many outings as possible for everyone. What do you think?"

Huai Xi was of course extremely happy, as she had never enjoyed the happiness that an ordinary girl could have.

The family of three had breakfast, packed their belongings and were about to leave when an uninvited guest came to the clinic.

Mayor Fang's father-in-law, Mr. Zhao, was pushed over again. This time, in addition to Fang Mingxu, he was accompanied by a lady of similar age to Ruogu.

The nurse saw Ruogu looking a little embarrassed and said, "Doctor Chen, our old man has to go back to do something and won't be in Wanling for a while. Could you please give him an acupuncture treatment in advance?"

Yu Yuan did not show up. Only Ruogu and Huaixi were in the front hall. Fang Mingxu was pushing Mr. Zhao's wheelchair. Seeing Huaixi was about to go out, he quickly said:
"Aunt Chen, it's fine if you guys are going out. It's already a bit rude to disturb you on your day off, and it would be inappropriate if it delays your schedule. You can wait until my grandfather comes back to give me acupuncture."

The woman, who had been silent at first, immediately interrupted and said, "How can we do this? Your grandpa's condition has finally improved, and we have no choice but to go back. Since we are here, we have to get the injection before we leave."

Fang Mingxu was very unhappy when he heard this. He said with a straight face: "Aunt, we can't waste other people's time when we have something to do. Grandpa can't get an injection for several days anyway. What's the big deal if he misses this time?"

Zhao Rong became even more unhappy when she heard him say that. She was about to open her mouth to refute him when she heard Ruogu whisper, "The old man is here, it's not good to go back empty-handed. Let me give him acupuncture. It won't take long."

Instead of wasting time arguing, it would be better to take action directly. Mayor Fang already owes her a favor, so why should she be unhappy over such a small matter?
