Chapter 1561: Today the House is Really Lively

Sister Zhang was very gratified, muttering, "That book I gave little Jiang back then, I really gave the right one."

"Hm, what book did you give?"

"A martial arts secret manual!"

Sister Zhang's smile was ambiguous.

From such a smile, one could deduce that the book she gave was definitely not simple.

Moreover, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something: Sister Zhang had said before that Jiang Chenghao liked her.

But at that time, Xu Xiaoxiao had just laughed it off, thinking Sister Zhang was just gossiping.

Looking at it now...

Ginger really is spicier when it's old!

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was feeling emotional, she suddenly heard a knock at the door.

Sister Zhang went to open the door, and when she walked back, she handed a square box to Xu Xiaoxiao.

"For me?"

"Yeah, it might be a gift from little Jiang, hurry up and open it to see."

Upon hearing it was from Jiang Chenghao, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly tore open the outer packaging.

Opening the box, Xu Xiaoxiao discovered inside was a cowhide notebook and a fountain pen.

At a casual glance, this notebook looked ordinary.

But after examining it, she knew the cover of this notebook was handmade, durable, and waterproof.

The fountain pen was the style Xu Xiaoxiao usually used, simple, and could be hung on the notebook's string, making it hard to lose.

When Xu Xiaoxiao was in school, her notebooks would always be falling apart by the time she finished using them.

As for pens... she didn't even know how many she had lost.

And the person who prepared such a practical gift so carefully...

Must be Jiang Chenghao.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes crinkled with a smile, and she picked up her phone to send a message to Jiang Chenghao: Thank you for the gift.

Soon, Jiang Chenghao replied: As long as you like it.

Sigh, such a thoughtful gift, of course Xu Xiaoxiao liked it.

She simply couldn't put it down!

And at this moment, a knock sounded at the door again.

Sister Zhang muttered as she walked: "Another gift delivery? This little Jiang, he's really opened up his Ren and Du Meridians."

Unfortunately, Sister Zhang guessed wrong this time.

Outside the door was not someone delivering a gift, but Wang Sinian.

Wang Sinian had cut his hair short, making him look very energetic and sharp.

He nodded at Sister Zhang and walked into the room.

Then, he happened to see Xu Xiaoxiao happily touching the notebook.

This scene made Wang Sinian's gaze soften, and he even asked, "Do you like it?"

Suddenly hearing Wang Sinian's voice, Xu Xiaoxiao turned her head.

Seeing his gaze land on the notebook in her hands, Xu Xiaoxiao raised a smile: "Of course."

"As long as you like it, this cowhide cover was quite a lot of effort to make."

Wait a minute!

Xu Xiaoxiao reined in her smile a bit, then tentatively asked: "You gave this?"

"Otherwise?"

Hm...

A misunderstanding!

Xu Xiaoxiao placed the notebook she was holding in her arms onto the table, then stared at it.

The more she looked, the more she felt Wang Sinian had some ulterior motive.

Xu Xiaoxiao let out a long breath, then with an attitude of being open and honest, asked: "Tell me, what do you want to ask of me?"

"Me, ask of you?"

"Yeah, otherwise you wouldn't have given me a gift."

Xu Xiaoxiao's deduction made Wang Sinian sneer, and he countered: "What, can't I give you a proper gift?"

"No, you only ever give me grief."

Xu Xiaoxiao's words were clearly even more infuriating.

Wang Sinian habitually wanted to argue with Xu Xiaoxiao for a bit.

But he held back.

He even tried to use a calm tone to evaluate: "Your view of people is too one-sided."

"What do you mean?"

"You could change your perspective to look at our relationship."

Wang Sinian looked at Xu Xiaoxiao expectantly, hoping Xu Xiaoxiao would catch on.

Unfortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't have any extra thoughts, just curled her lip and evaluated: "Sorry, no matter how I look at it, I feel like you and I are enemies."

"You... superficial!"

"Then tell me, what does a non-superficial explanation look like?"

Wang Sinian finally saw it; Xu Xiaoxiao was just a blockhead.

It is too difficult to point out that she has seen through his thoughts.

So...

Wang Sinian gave a light cough, preparing to say something.

But his words were interrupted by a knock at the door.

Sister Zhang couldn't help but mutter: "What is going on today? It's unusually lively."

When Sister Zhang returned, she was holding a bouquet of pink roses.

There was a card on it, written by Jiang Chenghao.

After Xu Xiaoxiao looked at it, she realized this was the gift Jiang Chenghao had mentioned.

This man said he would often send her roses, and he kept his word!

A shy smile appeared on Xu Xiaoxiao's face.

But Wang Sinian's expression was very unpleasant.

He glanced at them and said with disdain: "How can these flowers be so tacky!"

Upon hearing someone disparage the gift her boyfriend sent, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately glared at him: "You're just envious that I have someone to send me flowers!"

"I'm envious of you?" Wang Sinian rolled his eyes to the heavens, then asked in a huff, "Who sent these?"

"Cheng Hao, of course."

The intimate form of address... made Wang Sinian's voice turn cold: "How could he just send flowers randomly? Doesn't he know the meaning of sending roses?!"

"Of course he knows, that's why he wants to send them to his girlfriend!"

"So... you two have confirmed your relationship?"

"That's right!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's simple two words made Wang Sinian's heart sink.

Afterward, his anger began to swell rapidly!

Wang Sinian even questioned her in frustration: "Xu Xiaoxiao, do you have to lower your standards like this!?"

His questioning was inexplicable.

And it also angered Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao sank her face and countered: "How did I lower my standards?"

"You like him so much that you don't even mind that he has someone else in his heart?"

"That's all in the past; Cheng Hao only likes me now!"

"Then what about his lingering attachment from before? It seems to me that his feelings aren't worth much!"

"Past relationships are over; are we supposed to be lonely for the rest of our lives? Besides, we are in a free-choice relationship, so irrelevant people should stop commenting!"

Irrelevant people...

This sentence from Xu Xiaoxiao made Wang Sinian's expression turn very ugly.

He didn't want to stay for another moment and stood up abruptly.

Xu Xiaoxiao was startled by his sudden movement.

She looked up and saw Wang Sinian staring gloomily at the notebook on the table.

Finally, he said coldly: "That notebook was just for practice; I only gave it to you because I didn't want to waste it. If you don't like it, just throw it away!"

Wang Sinian left as soon as he finished speaking.

Xu Xiaoxiao felt it was such bad luck!

You tell me, what kind of situation is this? Her own boyfriend sent flowers, yet she got lectured by Wang Sinian!

What right does he have!

The more Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the angrier she became, even wanting to throw the things Wang Sinian gave her into the trash can!

But thinking about it, that would be too wasteful.

Besides, it wasn't the notebook and pen that angered her, so there was no need to take it out on the items.

Having figured this out, Xu Xiaoxiao went to put the roses into a vase.

While arranging the beautiful flower stems, Xu Xiaoxiao's mood slowly improved.

Meanwhile, Sister Zhang, who was watching the excitement from the side, sighed silently.

What a pity, there is no room for a third person in a relationship.

Otherwise, a trio would be quite nice.

Outside the door, Wang Sinian sat back in his car with a gloomy expression.
