Chapter 563: Qin Tian's Twentieth Birthday

The topic of who the culprit was gradually died down as the days went by.

At first, many classmates in the class couldn't suppress their curiosity and asked Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan about it.

However, both of them made excuses to brush it off, and gradually, no one asked anymore.

Another month passed in a flash.

By the end of November, the price of Bitcoin broke through one thousand dollars, not far from the highest price in Qin Tian's memory.

Therefore, Qin Tian had been paying close attention to this matter for the past few days, ready to sell off the Bitcoin he held at any moment.

Under these circumstances, he completely failed to notice that his twentieth birthday had arrived.

It wasn't that he didn't remember the date of his birthday; he had simply lost track of the days.

This day was a Saturday.

At two in the afternoon, Qin Tian sat in front of the computer in the dormitory, watching the Bitcoin price, which had broken through 1,100 dollars and was fluctuating slightly, hesitating whether to start selling.

"Strange, where did Siqi and the others go today? Do you know, Brother Tian?"

Chen Zhuang's voice rang out.

Qin Tian turned his head to look at him and said, "Didn't they go shopping with Nuan Nuan? Didn't she tell you?"

"No, she didn't say she was going shopping. I even wanted to ask her to go eat dinner together!"

Chen Zhuang shook his head and said.

"She didn't say?"

Qin Tian was slightly stunned.

That shouldn't be right; when they were eating at the cafeteria at noon, Nuan Nuan had told her that she was going shopping with the girls from her dormitory in the afternoon.

"I sent her a message and she didn't reply. I don't know what she's doing."

"She probably hasn't checked her phone!"

"I don't know, I'm bored, and I'm a bit tired of playing games too."

Chen Zhuang stretched lazily, feeling bored.

Only the two of them were in the dormitory now; Zhuang Zhe must have gone out with Tian Jing.

As for that guy Cao Mingliang, who knows which girl he's messing around with!

At this moment, Chen Zhuang's phone suddenly rang.

He hurriedly picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the phone with a grin.

"Hey, Siqi, where are you?"

Not knowing what Shen Siqi said, a bright smile appeared on Chen Zhuang's face.

"Got it, I'm coming right over... Yeah, yeah, hanging up now!"

"Where are they?"

Qin Tian asked.

"Buxingjie, they said they bought a bunch of stuff and want me to come over and help carry the bags!"

Chen Zhuang replied with a face full of smiles.

Qin Tian didn't think much of it, nodded, and said, "Then go ahead!"

"I'm off then!"

Chen Zhuang turned off the computer and stood up to say.

Qin Tian stared back at the computer screen and gave a grunt of acknowledgment.

Chen Zhuang grinned, turned around, and hurried away.

……

……

Outside the school, inside a luxury private room of a restaurant.

Xia Nuannuan was busy with the girls, using various decorations left over from her own birthday last time to decorate this private room.

Zhuang Zhe and Tian Jing were also there.

"Siqi, did your Chen Zhuang give anything away?"

Cheng Meng asked with a smile when she saw Shen Siqi put her phone away.

"Who knows? It's precisely because I was worried he'd let it slip that I didn't tell him. I reminded him to act natural, but it's hard to say if Qin Tian noticed anything."

Shen Siqi pouted and said.

"Nuan Nuan, did Qin Tian really forget his own birthday? Could he have guessed we were planning this and is playing along?"

Su Yan looked at Xia Nuannuan and asked.

"He should have forgotten. He's been busy sitting in front of the computer these past few days and hasn't paid attention to the date."

Xia Nuannuan smiled and said.

"That's good, I don't want all our effort to be for nothing, and then get laughed at by him."

"That won't happen!"

"By the way, Nuan Nuan, what birthday gift did you prepare for Qin Tian?"

Shen Siqi asked out of the blue.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's curious gazes turned toward Xia Nuannuan.

Everyone was very curious about what gift Xia Nuannuan would give back to Qin Tian after receiving the luxurious birthday gift he had meticulously prepared for her.

"Why should I tell you now? You'll know in a while."

A faint smile appeared on Xia Nuannuan's pretty face as she refused to answer.

"Smiling so mysteriously? You must have been planning this for a long time!"

Cheng Meng teased with a smile.

Xia Nuannuan smiled gently and nodded, saying, "I have been preparing for a long time."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"No way, I just said it off the cuff and guessed right? Nuan Nuan, give us another hint."

Cheng Meng looked at her with burning eyes.

"I won't say anymore."

Xia Nuannuan shook her head.

This appearance made everyone feel even more itchy with curiosity.

"Lei Jie, for Qin Tian's 19th birthday last year, what was it that she prepared?"

Shen Siqi looked at Lu Lei and asked.

"Lego, she assembled it herself, a super large one."

Lu Lei answered with a gentle smile.

"Oh, right, I remember now, she spent a month or two assembling it in the dormitory back then!"

Shen Siqi nodded in sudden realization.

Last year for Qin Tian's birthday, everyone was also at this restaurant, and it was in this same private room that they celebrated together.

When it came time to give gifts, Xia Nuannuan called for a waiter, and the latter walked in carrying a large gift box.

After Qin Tian opened it in front of everyone, inside was a house model that had already been assembled.

Although it couldn't compare to the eighteen birthday gifts Qin Tian had given her, it had also taken a great deal of effort.

Moreover, at that time, the two of them had just started renovating their house, so giving this Lego model also had a very good meaning.

Xia Nuannuan had never played with Lego before, and she wouldn't let Siqi and the others help, so she finished assembling it alone over many days, spending quite a lot of energy and time.

"This year is Qin Tian's twentieth birthday, the gift must be even better, and she said herself that she's been preparing for a long time, ah ah ah... no, the more I talk, the more curious I get."

Shen Siqi shook her head vigorously and glared at Xia Nuannuan with a resentful look.

Xia Nuannuan gave her a sweet smile.

After a while, Chen Zhuang strode into the private room.

"Zhuang Zhe, you quiet person are actually here too? Brother Tian's birthday is today, why didn't you give me and Cao Zei a heads-up?"

Seeing Zhuang Zhe, Chen Zhuang immediately began to complain.

"Cao Zei knew, you just didn't."

Zhuang Zhe said with a calm expression.

"Damn!"

Chen Zhuang couldn't help but curse.

"It was us who discussed not telling you; if everyone had come over and you weren't in the dormitory, Qin Tian would have been suspicious!"

Shen Siqi said with annoyance.

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

Chen Zhuang scratched his head with a simple, honest smile and added, "Well, you could have still told me, I can act, my acting skills are pretty good."

"Don't even start!"

Shen Siqi rolled her eyes.

"Then what about Cao Zei, why don't I see him?"

Chen Zhuang asked in confusion.

"He went to order the cake with Senior Wang Zijun!"

Xia Nuannuan answered with a smile.

"Senior Wang Zijun is coming too?"

"Yeah, I invited her; I forgot to last time on my birthday."

"Alright, is there anything I can help with?"

Chen Zhuang asked with a chuckle.

"Go to the supermarket across the street and buy some alcohol and drinks to bring over; they sell them too expensively in this restaurant."

Shen Siqi directed.

"You got it!"

Chen Zhuang agreed readily and walked over to put his arm around Zhuang Zhe's shoulder.

"Old Zhuang, you're just standing here doing nothing, come with me for a trip!"
