Everyone was drunk, but Xi Xi was the only one sober.
After Ding Xiang blew out the candles, the group of people laughed and cheered. Only Xixi stared at the big cake. She raised her little head, looked at her father, and whispered, "Can I eat the cake now?"
Guo Ziyi answered her question.
He took out a box wrapped in ribbons from behind him and said, "Don't eat the cake yet. Let's give you the presents first!"
Presents?
Ding Xiang was already satisfied. She waved her hand and said, "No need for presents. I'm already very happy that everyone can celebrate my birthday with me. Really, I don't want anyone to spend more money."
Yang Yi and Murphy also took out their presents. Murphy took Ding Xiang's hand and said, "It's okay. We've already prepared presents. Just accept them. Take Xiao Guo for example. He can't take back the presents he bought for you, right?"
Yang Huan said with a smile, "Sister Ding Xiang, don't worry. We didn't spend too much money. I know your personality, so I asked everyone to prepare presents for you. They won't be too expensive, and they'll try their best to make them by hand to express our feelings for you!"
Ding Xiang took the presents with hesitation.
"Time to open the presents!"
With Yang Huan's shout, everyone gathered around. Xixi, who was looking forward to eating the cake, curiously went to Sister Ding Xiang's side.
The first to open was Yang Huan's present. Yang Huan gave Ding Xiang a glass jar full of colorful paper cranes.
"My present is mainly for its beauty! It'll look good on the bookshelf! "Yang Huan introduced." Of course, I also wish sister Ding Xiang all the best! "
Then it was Lin Mu's and Ran Jin's presents. Although their presents were wrapped together, they were given separately. Lin Mu's present was a small teapot, which was a specialty of their hometown, while Ran Jin gave Ding Xiang a knitted hat that she had knitted herself.
"Mu's clumsy. He really doesn't know how to make any handicrafts." Ran Jin smiled and explained, "So I asked him to buy you a small teapot. Although we are in a coffee shop, I think it's good for your health to drink tea occasionally!"
"Thank you, Senior Apprentice Sister Ran Jin and Big Brother Lin!" Ding Xiang was touched as she received the gift.
Yang Yi and Murphy only gave one gift, but it was made by their family of three.
Ding Xiang opened the package and saw that it was a hand-carved photo frame. Instead of flowers, it was a picture drawn by Xi Xi.
"I drew this!" When Xi Xi saw the gift, she remembered that she had participated in the making of it. The little girl leaned against her father and pointed at the gift sheepishly. "But, but these were made by Mom."
Xi Xi's drawing was rough, but one could still vaguely see that it was outside a coffee shop. The background was a two-story building, and a group of people were standing in a row.
Murphy's drawing was the flowerbed. She made it with colorful petals. In order not to fade easily, Murphy made the petals into specimens.
"Who are these?" Ding Xiang asked, pointing at the stickmen on the picture.
"This is Papa, this is Mom, this is me, and this is Little Auntie, this is Uncle Xiao Guo, this is Sister Ding Xiang …" Xi Xi started to count them one by one.
Everyone's gifts were not expensive, but they were all full of sincerity. Ding Xiang liked all of them very much!
Finally, it was Guo Ziyi's turn to present his gift!
When Comrade Guo saw Ding Xiang pick up the box he gave, he became inexplicably nervous. He coughed dryly and said, "Ahem, well, it's not early anymore. Sister Ding Xiang, why don't we eat the cake first? You can open my gift when you go back later!"
However, his words were unanimously rejected by everyone.
"How can we? There's only one left. We have to open it, "Yang Yi said with a smile.
Even Xixi, who had been gluttonous to the point that she couldn't move her eyes away, shouted excitedly at this moment, "I want to open the present."
She could not wait and wanted to pull the ribbon on the gift, but Yang Yi held her hand and shook his head at her with a reproachful look.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ding Xiang opened the gift box and took out a smaller gift box from it …
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
Guo Ziyi pointed at it awkwardly. "You have to open it again."
Ding Xiang opened it and took out an even smaller box.
Yang Huan finally could not hold it in anymore. She laughed and said, "Xiao Guo, is this the Melrose Matryoshka doll you gave her? (Not a typo) "
Guo Ziyi waved his hand with a red face and said, "No, this is the last one. I'm not lying."
Ding Xiang still tore it open. Then, she was stunned.
"What is it?" Yang Yi could not hold back his curiosity and asked.
"Don't tell me it's another Matryoshka doll?" Yang Huan was more impatient. She could not help but take a closer look. "Hey, it's a hair clip. It's quite pretty."
Ding Xiang took out the gift and everyone saw its true appearance. It was a crystal hair clip!
"Didn't you say we can't give expensive gifts?" Yang Huan asked in confusion. "Why did you buy such an expensive crystal hair clip?"
Guo Ziyi quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not crystal. It's an imitation of crystal. It's actually transparent plastic and not expensive. I bought it from a boutique."
He scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "Sister Huan, you said it's best if it's handmade, so I got a few more boxes. It's probably a handmade gift …"
Guo Ziyi's words amused everyone until they started laughing.
However, Ding Xiang did not laugh. She recognized the crystal hair clip. It was the one she had been reluctant to buy when she and Guo Ziyi went to buy Murphy's birthday gift last year.
"You still remember it?" Ding Xiang blushed as she picked up the crystal hair clip and said shyly.
Guo Ziyi chuckled and said, "Didn't I tell you? My memory is very good! "
"You remember it? Sister Ding Xiang, did you tell Xiao Guo that you like this hair clip? "Yang Huan caught the main point of their conversation and looked at them with a gossipy expression.
Ding Xiang shyly waved her hand and said, "No, I didn't say that I like this hair clip."
"You don't like it?" Guo Ziyi asked with disappointment.
"It's not that I don't like it …" Ding Xiang had to deal with Guo Ziyi again.
"Then you like it!" Yang Huan said with a smile. "It's okay, sister Ding Xiang. You don't have to explain. I understand!"
Yang Huan took the crystal hair clip from Ding Xiang's hand and turned Ding Xiang's face to put it on. She then said with a smile, "I think it's very compatible!"
Murphy also gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile, "It's very beautiful!"
She turned her head and said to Yang Yi, "Hey, Yang Yi, did you notice that Ding Xiang's skin is much fairer than when we first met last year? She used to be tanned and thin. Now, not only does her skin look better, but her figure is also much better. With this hair clip, she will become a great beauty!"
Although Mo Fei's words were somewhat exaggerated, what she said was not wrong. Ding Xiang's skin was not white, but it was still a healthy wheat color, and her round face also had a unique wild beauty.
Ding Xiang was so shy that she did not dare to raise her head. She picked up the plastic knife and said, "Hey, let's eat the cake quickly! Xi Xi is hungry! "
After opening the gifts, Xi Xi's attention was attracted by the cake again. When she heard sister Ding Xiang's words, she waved her hand happily and quickly sat down with a small fork. She said clearly, "Eat the cake, I want it, I want it, sister Ding Xiang, hurry, hurry!"
"Okay, I'll cut the biggest piece for you!" Ding Xiang finally changed the topic. She smiled and cut a big piece of cake for the little girl.
"I like sister Ding Xiang the most!" Xi Xi looked at the cake in front of her and said happily.
"Don't forget …" Murphy reminded her.
"I know. Thank you, sister Ding Xiang!" The little girl was very sweet.
After the fun, Yang Yi took Murphy and Xi Xi back to the villa. Lin Mu 'an and Ran Jin helped to clean up the mess and left. Guo Ziyi was also ready to leave.
Ding Xiang walked him out. Yang Huan was nowhere to be found.
"Little Guo, thank you!" Ding Xiang suddenly said when Guo Ziyi was leaving.
Guo Ziyi turned around and saw Ding Xiang wearing a crystal hairpin. Her eyes looked even clearer under the street light.
"What are you thanking me for?" Guo Ziyi smiled. "sister Ding Xiang, you helped me a lot when you were my manager. I don't know how to thank you."
"Work hard in the future. I made a wish. I hope that your dreams will come true. I also hope that you can become the best actor!" Ding Xiang said.
"Of course, I'm very confident!" Guo Ziyi said energetically, clenching his fist.
