Chapter 327: Eighteen-Year-Old Birthday Wish

The following few days of the holiday were relatively calm, except for going to the hospital to see Zhang Peng, it was just resting at home.

Zhang Peng was recuperating comfortably in the hospital with good food and drink, and with Tian Jiajia taking care of him the whole time, it could be considered quite peaceful.

Although the two still often bickered, Tian Jiajia intentionally yielded to him because he was a wounded patient.

When Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan went last time, this guy was leaning against the head of the bed eating an apple Tian Jiajia had peeled for him, secretly winking at them, clearly a bit smug and floating.

The seven-day National Day holiday was about to end just like that.

On the 7th, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan called their counselor together to ask for a day off, preparing to celebrate Xia Nuannuan's birthday tomorrow before driving back to school together.

The birthday banquet was arranged for 2:00 PM on the 8th, held right at Xia Nuannuan's house.

There were no other people, not even relatives were invited, just Xia Nuannuan's family, plus Qin Tian, this special family member.

His future mother-in-law specifically instructed him to go over earlier, so the house would be livelier.

At 10:00 AM, Qin Tian loaded the gifts prepared by him and his mother into the car and set off directly.

After knowing when Xia Nuannuan's birthday was, Qin Tian had already started pondering her eighteenth birthday gift.

After military training ended, he started preparing formally.

Of course, it didn't count as the big project his mother mentioned, but it did indeed take some effort.

After parking the car at Xia Nuannuan's residential area, Qin Tian didn't take his gift, but first took the gift prepared by his mother out of the trunk.

After taking the elevator upstairs, he found that the door to Nuannuan's house was already open.

"Nuannuan, Auntie, I'm here."

Qin Tian walked straight to the door and shouted into the house.

"You're here, just come in!"

From the kitchen direction in the house, his mother-in-law's shout came.

Immediately after, Xia Nuannuan, wearing a cartoon apron, walked to the entrance with a sweet smile.

"Yo? Is the birthday girl in charge of cooking today?"

Qin Tian joked with a face full of surprise.

"No, I'm helping out."

Xia Nuannuan answered with a smile, looking at the gift in his hand with anticipation.

"Mine is still in the car, this is the gift my mother prepared for you."

Qin Tian handed over an exquisitely packaged gift box and smiled: "I'll say it for her, Happy Birthday!"

Last night they had been on the phone until the early hours, and just as the clock struck midnight, Qin Tian had already sent his blessings, and they had wished each other goodnight before sleeping.

"Heehee... thank you!"

Xia Nuannuan reached out to take it, thanked him happily, and asked curiously: "Why didn't you bring your gift up too?"

She was naturally looking forward to the birthday gift Qin Tian prepared for her even more. The Youth Preserving Ointment Qin Tian gave her and her mother a few days ago had already surprised her and her mother.

After using it only twice, she clearly felt that her skin, which was already well-maintained, was even fairer and smoother.

"What's the rush? We'll talk about it when it's time for the gift-giving session, and the gift I prepared is a bit big, I'll go downstairs to move it later."

Qin Tian said with a smile.

"A bit big?"

Xia Nuannuan froze.

"Literally!"

Qin Tian smiled mysteriously.

"What exactly is it?"

Xia Nuannuan felt as if her heart was being scratched by a cat.

"Secret for now!"

"Ah ah ah... I really want to punch you!"

"Cough cough... don't mess around, are Grandpa and Grandma here? My mother also prepared gifts for them."

"They are still across the way, haven't come over yet. Should I go call them?"

"No, no, we'll talk about it later."

Qin Tian stopped her busily, and then greeted Old Xia, who was sitting in the living room watching TV.

"You're here, come sit!"

Old Xia beckoned.

Qin Tian responded and walked over to sit on the sofa as told.

"Come, have a cup of tea!"

Old Xia picked up the good tea he had just brewed and poured him a cup.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Qin Tian received the teacup with both hands, feeling flattered, and took a sip of the golden, translucent tea soup, feeling only fragrance in his mouth.

Even though he didn't know much about tea, he could tell this was definitely brewed with expensive, high-quality tea leaves.

"It was thoughtful of your mother."

Old Xia looked at the shopping bag containing the gifts for the two old people and said with a smile.

Qin Tian shook his head busily and said: "It's nothing expensive, just a token of appreciation."

"That's enough."

Old Xia nodded with a smile.

Before long, the two old people came over together.

After Qin Tian greeted them, he presented the gifts prepared by his mother.

Knowing the old man liked playing chess and fishing, he gave the old man a set of high-quality chess pieces, and for the grandmother, a set of warm winter clothing.

After the two old people received the gifts, they complained that today was Nuannuan's birthday, why prepare gifts for them, but their faces were blooming with smiles, clearly very happy.

……

……

His future mother-in-law clearly showed her highest level of cooking skills today. As plate after plate of delicious dishes were served on the table, the whole house was filled with the tempting aroma of food.

After the dishes were mostly served, everyone prepared to celebrate Xia Nuannuan's birthday first.

The birthday cake was naturally prepared long ago.

The cake wasn't big, only one layer, but it was custom-made at a high price from the best cake shop in Yucheng.

Qin Tian helped Old Xia arrange it, and after they finished, Xia Nuannuan and Su Xia came out of the kitchen.

The family sat around the coffee table in the living room, and eighteen small candles had already been lit on the cake.

Su Xia clapped her hands to start the tune and sang the birthday song with a gentle smile.

Qin Tian and the others immediately followed, and Xia Nuannuan had a happy and sweet smile on her pretty face, holding her hands together and making her eighteenth birthday wish.

"Hoo..."

Xia Nuannuan opened her eyes and blew out the candles in one breath.

"Alright, we can eat the cake now."

"Nuannuan, what wish did you make?"

Su Xia asked with a smile.

Xia Nuannuan's pretty face flushed slightly, pretending to be calm: "Secret, it won't come true if I say it."

"Looks like it's related to Xiao Qin."

Su Xia looked at Qin Tian with deep meaning.

"No, it's related to everyone, I made several wishes."

Xia Nuannuan's face turned even redder, and she refuted with a panicked expression.

"Can you make several birthday wishes? Nuannuan, you're too greedy!"

The old man teased with a smile.

"Why not? Others say you can make three birthday wishes, and it's my eighteenth birthday, not my first, so logically, I can make eighteen wishes."

Xia Nuannuan said righteously.

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"There is indeed such a saying, you can make three birthday wishes, the first two can be said out loud, and the last one cannot be said, and it is also the most important."

Qin Tian agreed with a smile.

"Really? There's such a saying?"

Old Xia showed surprise on his face and said to his daughter with a smile: "Nuannuan, then tell us the first two wishes!"

"Alright!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded her small head, and said slowly with a smile: "My first wish is that I hope Grandpa and Grandma, and everyone around me, can be healthy and safe."

"Good!"

The old man nodded with a face full of smiles.

Xia Nuannuan looked at her mother and continued: "Today I am eighteen and an adult, my second wish is that I hope I can become more mature and excellent, like Mom and Aunt Tang, and become an independent and strong woman." ===== CHAPTER 328 =====
