Chapter 385: 385 Birthday Present

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Tan Ron went for her morning run according to her usual routine. As soon as she went out, she met Zhuang Liu standing at her door. His face was slightly red from the cold and she did not know how long he had been standing there. “Third Brother! You don’t need a crutch anymore?” Tan Rou saw Zhuang Liu standing upright with his hands behind his back. He was not holding a walking stick.

“I’m much better.” Zhuang Liu forced himself to hold on. He took out a palm-sized box from behind him. “Happy birthday, Rourou!”

Tan Rou said, “It’s not my birthday yet.”

“I know.” Zhuang Liu stood there motionlessly, holding the gift box with both hands.

“Your parents will definitely have plans on Friday. 1 probably won’t be able to talk to you then, so I want to celebrate your birthday in advance.”

Tan Rou smiled. She walked up to Zhuang Liu and accepted his gift. “Thank you, Third Brother. I like it very much.”

This was the first time she had received a birthday present in her life. In the past, the Tan family never celebrated her birthday. Later on, she did not have the habit of celebrating her birthday either, so this was the first time she had received a birthday present officially.

“As long as you like it.” Zhuang Liu moved slightly, but he still insisted,” “I ordered some food from Mr. Fang’s place this afternoon. Would you be able to join me? I would like to share a meal with you.”

“Sure.” Tan Rou felt that it was very reasonable. “I’ll head back and inform my parents about it. My brother wouldn’t have to pick me up from school in the afternoon then.”

Zhuang Liu heard her answer and relaxed. “See you at noon then.” He couldn’t stand for too long without his crutch. In order to leave a good impression on Tan Rou on her birthday, he had deliberately left his crutch at home. Now that he had been standing for so long, his leg was starting to hurt. He probably couldn’t go for rehabilitation training this morning.

How could Tan Rou not see through his little trick? She put the gift box into the pocket of her sportswear and reached out to help Zhuang Liu. “Third Brother, you shouldn’t force yourself.”

Zhuang Liu took the opportunity to fall on her body without any embarrassment. “You saw through me.”

“I’m your attending doctor. How can I not see your condition?” Tan Rou helped him to his house. “You shouldn’t do any rehabilitation training this morning or else it would take a longer time for your legs to recover.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Zhuang Liu approached Tan Rou with a smile.

Tan Rou helped Zhuang Liu onto the sofa in his house. Shen Jing was just about to go downstairs. When she saw the two of them come in, she immediately turned around and quietly went back upstairs.

The two of them had a good relationship. They were together early in the morning. Shen Jing snickered as she looked at the both of them. She felt that her son was quite capable.

After Zhuang Liu sat down, he said to Tan Rou, “Rourou, you should still go for your morning jog.”

Tan Rou wouldn’t easily delay her running. “Okay but you shouldn’t walk anymore for now.”

Zhuang Liu nodded slightly. “I will be an obedient patient.”

Seeing that Tan Rou was about to leave, Shen Jing hurriedly came down to ask her to stay. “Rourou, aren’t you going to stay a little longer?”

Tan Rou called out, “Auntie Shen. I still have to go for my morning run. I’ll see you later!”

Shen Jing waved at her. “Slow down.”

Tan Rou jogged out of the door. As she ran, she felt that the things in her pocket were falling, so she took them. When the box shook in his hand, it made a faint sound that sounded like metal.

What was it? Tan Rou was curious. After running two laps, she finally stopped to rest. She opened the box immediately and found a silver necklace inside.

The necklace was inlaid with a sapphire and two pink gems, as well as many small diamonds surrounding it. The main material of the necklace was platinum, so it looked especially beautiful under the morning sun.

Under normal circumstances, there would be a logo of the brand printed on the box. However, Tan Rou did not find any logo on this necklace. Instead, she found many tiny flaws.

The gemstones were gorgeous, but the workmanship was not. Tan Rou even saw a crooked inlaid nail at the joint. It could be seen how unskilled the person who made this necklace was.

Zhuang Liu would never buy such a flawed necklace. The only possibility was that Zhuang Liu had made it himself.

Tan Rou stood by the lake, holding the necklace in her hand. She liked this necklace very much. She really liked the first birthday present that Zhuang Liu had given her..
