Half a minute passed.
Tang Qing looked at Qin Shiqi, who was hugging the pink bear without letting go, and was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. At least let me come in through the door, he thought.
"Shiqi, that’s enough, let me in. The bear isn’t going anywhere."
Tang Qing suggested, pushing the pink bear in Qin Shiqi’s arms, but why did his words sound so familiar?
"No way, I want to hug it a little longer." Qin Shiqi clung to the bear with a blissful expression, her eyes squinted shut. The only thing missing was a happy tune playing in the background.
"..."
Tang Qing didn’t bother arguing, he let go of the two fingers clutching the bag with the pink bear in it and sidestepped into the room. He muttered, "Shiyu, here’s yours," handing over a white bear to Qin Shiyu, who had been waiting expectantly.
"Thank you, cousin."
After saying that, Qin Shiyu took the white bear from Tang Qing without haste, although her delight was visible on her face. What a worrisome sister he had, if she were bullied by her in-laws in the future, he wondered, what would he do?
"You’re welcome, Shiyu is a good girl, not like some people." Tang Qing said, smiling and sneakily glancing at Qin Shiqi, who was standing outside, ’glaring’ at him.
"Humph, what about me?" Qin Shiqi retorted, hugging the bear and glaring back at him.
"You’re just fine." Tang Qing replied with some irritation.
"That’s more like it. Since I am satisfied with the present you bought, I won’t bicker with you. Otherwise, I would have complained to Auntie about how you bullied me." Qin Shiqi said, walking through the door and closing it behind her.
"..."
Can we change the subject?
"By the way, what’s in those bags you brought, Brother?"
Qin Shiqi, who had just walked through the door, seemed to have found a new target as she went over and scrutinized the other bag in Tang Qing’s hand.
"Nothing much, just some presents for your parents." Tang Qing said casually. It was still a touch early to give Qin Shiqi her birthday gift.
"You’re lying, I can see everything. Just admit it, Brother." Qin Shiqi pointed to the bag in his left hand, her eyes filled with delight.
"What did you see?" Tang Qing asked, confused. All he had on top were high-end skin care products, belts, lighters and such like. The watches and jewelry were all at the bottom.
"Look..."
Qin Shiqi squatted down, pointing to the clearly visible watch bag inside the white raw material bag. The logo on the bag was obviously not meant for middle-aged women to wear.
"You... your eyesight. Fine, I was going to surprise you all later, but now I guess I’ll have to give them to you." Tang Qing gave a bitter smile. He hadn’t expected that bumping around all the way would give the game a way and expose the side of the bag which showcased the watch. The watch company was to blame. What was the point of putting such a beautiful picture on the box of a thing worth a few thousand dollars?
It was also his fault for not taking care when he had been packing the car and had just stuffed everything in without thinking.
Now that he couldn’t hide them any longer, Tang Qing unpacked the bags one by one. His two cousins were also there watching with wide-eyed anticipation. He handed over four boxes, saying, "Here you go. These are for both of you. Honestly, I wanted to give them to you on Shiyu’s birthday as a surprise, but now that the surprise is ruined, Shiqi, it’s all your fault."
Tang Qing adeptly passed the buck.
"Hey, no matter when you give them to us, we’re still surprised. Isn’t that right, dear sister?" Qin Shiqi said this with an eager expression on her face, rubbing her hands. On the other hand, Qin Shiyu’s face reflected confusion; she couldn’t decide whose side to take.
Qin Shiqi excitedly took the box, and hastily unwrapped it. Meanwhile, Qin Shiyu didn’t move; it seemed all the presents were identical, so she only needed to see Qin Shiqi’s. Tang Qing understood that Qin Shiyu was the sort who liked unopened packages and didn’t like to unwrap things, she felt it was imperfect once unwrapped.
When they saw the not-cheap-at-all bracelets and watches, an amazed Qin Shiqi exclaimed: "Wow, brother was really generous this time, buying us such expensive gifts."
"Well, it’s not often I shop, so it’s no big deal." Tang Qing said with a smile. In his opinion, it wasn’t a lot of money as it didn’t even amount to ten thousand. With billions spent in a day, how did ten thousand count as money? It wasn’t worth picking up even if dropped — it would take picking it up two hundred times in all to exchange for a robot, and he wasn’t interested in that.
"Hee hee, since you are so considerate, I won’t say anything more." An excited Qin Shiqi quickly put on her watch then clasped the bracelet on her other hand, still clutching the pink bear.
"Seems like I gave the right presents." Seeing Qin Shiqi’s excited face, and Qin Shiyu also seeming to like the presents, Tang Qing was satisfied. As long as his loved ones were happy, he was happy.
