Hua Xin's Little Schemes

On Xia Yan's birthday, Hua Xin took a full day off and didn't go to work, but she didn't tell Xia Yan about the leave. She still went out early in the morning as usual, pretending to go to work, and everything was the same as before without any special changes.

Ever since waking up in the morning, Hua Xin had been consciously or unconsciously avoiding mentioning any sensitive words. Although she had been so preoccupied with this matter that she woke up naturally without her alarm ringing, she still forced herself to lie in bed for another hour so that Xia Yan wake her up after completing his daily tasks.

It feels like they're doing something sneaky and shady.

Despite this, she didn't give anything away until she left after breakfast. Seeing that Xia Yan also seemed unaware of anything, Hua Xin finally felt relieved.

According to what Xia Fen said when she asked her, Xia Yan doesn't actually have the habit of celebrating birthdays, and has never posted anything on social media to show off the gifts she received or to celebrate her birthday.

Perhaps none of Xia Yan's friends know when his birthday is, and he himself has never told anyone.

It's like a primary school student who, after getting angry with someone, silently resolves to study hard and refuses to eat.

But Hua Xin understood that there was no one to share her joy with.

No one understands Xia Yan's feelings better than she does.

Since there's no work, there are naturally more things that need to be prepared.

A few days ago, Xia Fen and I agreed to buy Xia Yan a birthday gift, but we didn't keep it to give to him on Xia Yan birthday. Perhaps Xia Fen had already foreseen something, because she was very perceptive and gave a mouse she had bought to Hua Xin, asking her to give it to her older brother.

She was worried about what to do if Xia Fen suggested coming to celebrate Xia Yan's birthday together, which would delay the big surprise she had been preparing since before the trip.

Fortunately, that didn't happen, which really relieved Hua Xin.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to achieve that breakthrough from 0 to 1 with Xia Yan on this special day.

Sitting on a bench in the mall, the constant cool air from the air conditioner created a stark contrast with the heat outside. After finishing her cold drink, Hua Xin contentedly tossed the cup into the trash can.

A short rest was enough to dispel the fatigue from shopping for so long.

But rather than just feeling tired...

Actually, she seems to be more like she's shopping and having fun right now.

At the same time, there was a very exquisite-looking cake placed next to Hua Xin.

Although it wasn't one of those super-sized cakes that looked very expensive, Hua Xin still chose this delicious birthday cake from a bakery, considering whether she could finish it and avoid waste.

It also says "Happy Birthday Xia Yan" and has a cute smiley face design.

I ate at this restaurant before when I was shopping with Xia Yan. The food was pretty good. The only downside is that it's a little far from home.

Besides the cake, there were other gifts for Xia Yan.

Xia Yan didn't really have anything he particularly liked. His daily expenses were limited to everyday items, and he didn't have anything else he liked. After thinking about it for a long time, considering their economic situation, practicality, and after much deliberation, Hua Xin finally decided to give Xia Yan a helmet that looked very cool.

Because he usually rides a motorcycle to and from work or school, and he really likes that motorcycle, Hua Xin wanted Xia Yan to always be safe and sound, so she decided to buy this gift.

He wants to always be safe and sound.

Hua Xin put the packaged bag in her arms, looking at the black and red helmet inside, a gentle look appearing in her eyes.

Xia Yan has always been the one thinking about and caring for her.

Xia Yan could remember very clearly what she liked.

Whether it's the food she usually likes or dislikes, the coins she always carries in her pocket because she likes to play claw machines, or the figurines she buys for her without hesitation when traveling.

And that lipstick and that dress.

Hua Xin has never forgotten what Xia Yan has silently given her, and she has never thought that this kind of unconditional tenderness is a given simply because they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

No one will give up everything for no reason.

How should Hua Xin deal with Xia Yan's passionate yet silent love?

The answer is to respond to him with even more fervent love.

In the past, when reading various comics, there were often scenes where the male and female protagonists would have some misunderstandings and conflicts for no reason, and then both of them would become mystery makers.

Then progress came to a standstill.

It's clear that Xia Yan is actually a very passive person when it comes to relationships. She's not the type to speak up as soon as she notices something, otherwise she wouldn't have been so slow to take the initiative in their relationship for so long.

Hua Xin was no better.

A grown man was right next to her, and she still had to rely on herself from time to time. Anyone who didn't know better would think they weren't a couple but roommates.

Thinking of this, Hua Xin couldn't help but twitch her lips.

I don't know what they're all shy about.

She was already quite bold during the hot spring session at the foot of Mount Fuji. If Xia Yan had just rushed up and pinned her down on the bed, Hua Xin wouldn't have screamed her lungs out in refusal.

But the truth is, a virgin is a virgin, and expecting him to take the initiative might mean he'll never have a sex life.

After regaining her senses, Hua Xin picked up her phone and checked the time.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

This time is usually around the time she should be getting off work, while Xia Yan will be home in about an hour. The time difference between them when they get off work has always been this long.

Returning home at this time allows for a quick setup of the room and ordering some takeout. It's already her birthday, so why should Xia Yan cook anything? Today, Xi should clearly enjoy her birthday!

The girl then picked up the cake and helmet she had bought.

But next to these two items was a smaller bag, which Hua Xin quietly put into the larger bag containing the helmet.

The item visible through the transparent box was a pair of high-quality white stockings.

Although Hua Xin rarely wears stockings...

But Xia Yan is actually a fan of white stockings.

This is a comment I heard from Xia Yan during a casual chat while playing games before we met in person.

The plot is roughly as follows:

"White stockings definitely give you a lot more attack speed than black stockings..."

Hua Xin slowly took a step, her heart racing, her eyes flickering slightly.

I hope that's true.
