The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Chapter 2139: Chapter 2139: The Eighteenth Coming-of-Age Ceremony (21)

Although she had many friends, since mobile phones were not yet widely used, she quickly finished all her messages.

She glanced at her mailbox again to make sure she hadn’t missed anything, then stretched lazily and got out of bed, feeling cheerful as she went to freshen up.

It was already early autumn, the weather was getting a bit chilly, so she looked out to gauge the sky and figured it would not warm up until the afternoon even if the sun came out. She slipped into a pair of fitted jeans and put on a light blue long-sleeved chiffon shirt.

Her skin was naturally fair, and the light blue chiffon shirt made her face look even more rosy. Coupled with her good complexion, she truly looked vibrant and healthy.

Jiaojiao preened in front of the mirror for a while, feeling she looked perfectly pretty from every angle, only then was she satisfied and went to open the door.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she came face to face with Duan Xi standing there.

"Brother Xi?" she called out in confusion.

"Happy birthday." Duan Xi’s gaze fell on her face. He pursed his lips, looking like he had something to say but hesitated. Jiaojiao was about to ask what was wrong when Duan Xi brought his hand, which he had been hiding behind his back, around: "This is for you."

Jiaojiao’s eyes widened in surprise as she was presented with a large heart-shaped bouquet of vibrant roses.

She stared in disbelief at the roses brought up to her nose, then looked at Duan Xi standing in front of her. His ears and neck were flushed red, but his eyes and expression were full of tenderness, making her heart race suddenly.

"Brother Xi..." she stammered, never expecting Duan Xi to give her roses. After all, he usually didn’t seem like the type of person who’d do such things. It was easier to expect a zoo from him than roses!

"For you, 101 roses. The shopkeeper said 101 means ’the only love.’" Duan Xi looked at Jiaojiao with intensity: "But you’re more than my only, you’re my whole world."

She was his sole motivation and reason for existing in this world.

"..." Jiaojiao.

The overwhelming shyness and sweetness nearly engulfed her, causing her to stare blankly at the roses held before her for quite a while without responding.

"You don’t like them?" Seeing that Jiaojiao hadn’t responded, Duan Xi got anxious and asked nervously, about to mentally curse Duan Qianyang who suggested this idea from start to finish, when Jiaojiao finally reacted.

She shook her head vigorously, clutched the bouquet to her chest, unable to hide the smile on her face that seemed to reach all the way to her ears.

"I love them, I really love them, thank you, Brother Xi!"

After all, how many girls dislike flowers? Even if they do, if it’s from someone they like, they’ll grow to love them.

Not to mention that Jiaojiao inherently liked them, coupled with the fact that they were from Duan Xi, made the sweetness almost overwhelming.

She instinctively buried her head in the bouquet, happily saying, "They smell so nice."

Duan Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing how much she liked them, he couldn’t help but smile along with her.

A tall and a short figure, a man and a woman, stood at the doorway smiling at each other. Normally, it would be an extremely beautiful scene, but the nine men standing at the stairway couldn’t bring themselves to smile.
