Chapter 1090: Then what's wrong with you?

Ripples stirred in Bai Lianghe's heart, feeling both surprised and moved.

She was a person with very stable emotions; rarely did anything stir waves in her heart.

But at this moment, looking at Shen Xing's bright eyes, she felt full of joy.

It was just a casual remark she had made during that gathering, yet Shen Xing had actually kept it in his heart, and he had said "he remembered it all."

Even she didn't quite remember what she had said that day, but Shen Xing said he remembered everything.

"Can I open it and see?"

"Of course." Shen Xing nodded, walked to the table, picked up a utility knife, and handed it to her: "You open it. If you don't like it, we can exchange it for other styles and colors, but I think you'll like it."

Hearing this, Bai Lianghe subconsciously curled her lips into a smile. She understood Shen Xing's words immediately and had already guessed the color of this ski gear.

Opening the packaging, deep blue came into view.

"Your favorite blue." Shen Xing looked at Bai Lianghe and said softly: "It's also my favorite color."

When the two of them had customized their team uniforms, they had both said the same color at the same time; Shen Xing had kept that in his heart as well.

"This brand is very expensive, and their full sets of equipment are very hard to buy." Bai Lianghe touched the ski suit gently, looking at Shen Xing with emotion.

Shen Xing grinned and said truthfully: "My sister said that a gift should have heart, but also value. It was indeed hard to buy; I had to find some ways to get it."

"Do you… like it?"

Bai Lianghe's lips moved, and then she nodded gently: "I like it. I will wear this equipment to learn how to ski. Thank you."

Bai Lianghe's response was very serious and sincere, because she was truly moved by Shen Xing's thoughtfulness.

Hearing this, Shen Xing felt a weight lift from his heart, and the smile on his face no longer carried pressure.

"As long as you like it. Happy birthday."

Bai Lianghe stood up and then quietly exhaled to calm her somewhat chaotic heartbeat, her eyes falling once again on the beautifully wrapped gift box on the table.

"So that one wasn't bought by you?" she asked curiously.

Seeing this, Shen Xing quickly explained: "I did buy it. That one is for Sang Hui. Isn't her birthday coming up too!"

Bai Lianghe's expression froze, and for a moment, she was stunned.

She had thought that one was a birthday gift bought by someone else for her.

She hadn't expected Shen Xing to have bought it for someone else.

Shen Xing noticed Bai Lianghe's expression and, realizing what happened, quickly explained: "That… I hadn't originally remembered her birthday. She invited me suddenly that day, and you were there too. I thought, since I knew, and I had already declined her invitation, it would be better to buy a gift."

Bai Lianghe regained her senses and nodded gently.

Shen Xing was right; she had been right there when Sang Hui invited him to her birthday party.

For a good friend, giving a gift was only reasonable.

But even though she thought this way in her heart, there was always a strange emotion that was hard to dissipate. She couldn't grasp it and couldn't understand it, because she also felt that Shen Xing hadn't done anything wrong.

Outside the door, a group of people were pressed against the door listening to the movement inside. Seeing that it had gone quiet, they quickly dispersed.

The next second, the door was pulled open, and Shen Xing and Bai Lianghe walked out.

The others pretended not to know, and Yu Qian asked feignedly: "Bai Bai, what did Shen Xing give you? We guessed for a long time and couldn't figure it out."

"A set of very expensive and hard-to-buy ski equipment." Bai Lianghe said truthfully, and added proudly: "I guessed it!"

"Ski equipment?" Yu Qian frowned, looking at the others and asking: "Does anyone remember Bai Bai saying anything related to skiing during that gathering?"

The others cooperated very well, shaking their heads repeatedly to indicate they didn't remember.

This served to highlight Shen Xing's thoughtfulness toward Bai Lianghe even more.

"It has to be Xingxing. He pays so much attention to Bai Bai, remembering every word she says." Xu Qinmei looked at Shen Xing on purpose and asked: "Does Xingxing remember what I said that day?"

Shen Xing felt a bit embarrassed: "Stop teasing me. Aren't we supposed to be cooking? It's almost noon."

Xu Qinmei curled her lips: "I shouldn't have asked. He probably doesn't even remember what I said yesterday."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but Shen Xing's face couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing this, Yu Qian knew it was time to stop, so she stood up: "Alright, Xiao Min isn't here today, so I'll cook. Jin Dao, come help me."

"No problem!"

Seeing this, Bai Lianghe broke precedent and actively wanted to go into the kitchen: "Then I'll come help too."

The result was that she only made things more chaotic.

Bai Lianghe had never done anything in the kitchen before.

"Oh my, my young lady, you really don't need to. Go out and rest; I'll just help Sister Qian." Jin Dao couldn't take it anymore and snatched the green beans from her hand: "Look, the tough strings are still hanging on these; I have to pick them all over again."

"Then I'll peel the garlic." Bai Lianghe went to peel the garlic.

This time, it was Yu Qian who pressed her down: "Alright Bai Bai, you don't usually eat garlic; you hate the smell of garlic the most. You're peeling garlic? We aren't even putting garlic in today's dishes."

"What's wrong with you? Don't you like the gift Xingxing gave you?"

"No, I like it very much." Bai Lianghe denied it; she knew it was that uncomfortable emotion in her heart acting up.

Seeing this, Yu Qian first sent Jin Dao out: "Jin Dao, you go out first."

"Ah?" Jin Dao had been listening with his ears pricked up; hearing that he was being told to leave, he looked very reluctant: "I'm picking beans."

"Go out and pick them." Yu Qian said in a commanding tone.

"Oh."

After Jin Dao left the kitchen reluctantly, Yu Qian looked at Bai Lianghe again: "We heard everything outside the door just now. Others might be slow to realize, but I actually saw Xingxing's attitude toward you a long time ago."

"You should have felt it yourself, right?"

Bai Lianghe hesitated: "I, I'm not too sure…"

"You're still not sure?" Yu Qian exclaimed with wide eyes: "Wasn't his 'I remember it all' just now obvious enough? He can remember every word you've said; why do you think that is?"

Bai Lianghe lowered her head slightly, listening to Yu Qian's words, but her heart was being disturbed by that lingering emotion.

"You don't think it's because he has a good memory, do you?"

Bai Lianghe looked up, hesitated for a moment, and then said it: "Sister Qian, I know what you mean, and I also felt Shen Xing's thoughtfulness toward me."

"I'm very happy, really, especially happy."

"Then what's wrong with you now? You look absent-minded." Yu Qian frowned: "You don't like Xingxing?"

Before Bai Lianghe could respond, Yu Qian straightened her body, looking serious and certain as she said: "Impossible. You can't fool me. Although you don't show it clearly, I can see it too. You two like each other!" ===== CHAPTER 1091 =====
