The next morning, the big gift package promised by the agent started arriving one after another.

There were indeed a lot of things, and the delivery workers came more than a dozen times.

It wasn't until noon that everything was finally done.

"Some things, like the television, Xu Lin, I'll keep them here first. When you buy a house in Jiangdu, you can move them there."

"No problem."

Xu Lin thought the same way.

The 888,800 gift package also included a very nice set of sofas. Xu Lin moved the long sofa into the room directly. This was a flat unit with ample space, so the three-meter-long sofa fit in just right.

After moving everything, it was about one o'clock in the afternoon. Ms. Ren and Rong Xiyan went out, saying they needed to buy ingredients for cake-making.

Since Xu Lin and Rong Xiyan were returning to Jiangdu the next afternoon, Ms. Ren planned to make some cakes for them.

Today was the second of the month, the day after New Year's holiday, but Xu Lin didn't have classes for a while, so he decided not to rush back.

There was a roll call tonight, Xu Lin sent a message to the counselor, Shang Wanjun, asking for leave along with Rong Xiyan.

Xu Lin was left alone in the house, enjoying the quiet.

He lay on the new sofa in the room and unknowingly fell asleep.

Xu Lin had no idea how long he'd slept.

As he woke up and opened his eyes, he saw Rong Xiyan holding a piece of rice cake near his mouth.

"What are you doing?"

"Rice cake, mom made it. It's really delicious!"

Rong Xiyan said, "Xu Lin, open your mouth!"

It was a rice cake, so Xu Lin opened his mouth and bit into it.

Chewing on Ms. Ren's delicious rice cake, Xu Lin asked, "How long did I sleep?"

"Almost four hours, lazy pig!"

He didn't expect to have slept this long.

Xu Lin sat up from the sofa.

"Xu Lin, come out and eat rice cakes, mom made a lot, and there are several kinds of rice cakes!"

There are many kinds of rice cakes, just like dumplings or zongzi, with different varieties across the country. Ms. Ren could make over a dozen different styles, and her skills were exceptional, making the rice cakes taste delicious.

Since childhood, if Ms. Ren was around, Xu Lin rarely ordered takeout or ate out, because Ms. Ren could make a lot of delicious food.

"Xu Lin, come taste it!"

Ms. Ren called him over to eat rice cakes when she saw her son getting up.

Xu Lin sat down and started eating.

He spent the afternoon eating rice cakes, and Xu Lin's appetite was quite large with a healthy appetite.

Gulp...

Xu Lin also drank two bottles of red wine.

In this flat unit, they also received over a dozen bottles of red wine, and Xu Lin drank two bottles.

[Energy: 100+/100: Energy Explosion!]

Feeling good.

Xu Lin felt very energetic.

Since getting the system, Xu Lin felt like he could eat without getting full. The human body has an absorption capability; for example, someone who absorbs well might become tall and strong, whereas someone who doesn't might become skinny or obese, going to two extremes.

Xu Lin didn't worry about absorption issues now.

As night fell, after bathing, Ms. Ren suggested going for a walk.

After all, Xu Lin and the others would be leaving the next day, so they decided to have a good family outing tonight.

Rong Xiyan linked arms with her mom, with Xu Lin following behind.

But tonight, they weren't shopping at the mall across the community, but rather on the nearby streets.

This was the most developed district in the provincial capital, quite bustling overall. The city was beautifully built, with great landscaping, making shopping very atmospheric, and at night, many people were out shopping, which made it lively.

Around eight o'clock, Xu Lin passed by a stall selling flowers. There were quite a few people, but most buying flowers were couples, especially young men and women.

Xu Lin also stopped.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing?"

Rong Xiyan turned back and saw Xu Lin looking at the flowers.

But Xu Lin didn't pay attention to her, instead starting to talk to the stall owner.

Eventually, Xu Lin bought a beautiful bouquet of roses.

Seeing this, Rong Xiyan thought Xu Lin was going to give her the roses, and her heart was filled with expectation.

Then Xu Lin walked over and handed the flowers to Ms. Ren.

"Ms. Ren, wishing you happiness as vast as the sea, and a long life like the mountains!"

Xu Lin grinned.

Ms. Ren raised an eyebrow: "Seriously, change it!"

"Then I wish you eternal youth!"

"That's more like it!"

Ms. Ren held the bouquet of roses in one hand.

Normally, children would give their mothers carnations, as it represents motherhood and motherly love, a concept deeply rooted in people's minds.

But Xu Lin gave roses instead.

Ms. Ren felt very happy, actually, Xu Lin's father had never given her roses before.

"Xu Lin, what about me?"

"What do you want?"

"I want flowers too!"

"Then I'll give you carnations later!"

"Xu Lin!"

Rong Xiyan stomped her foot angrily, mimicking Ms. Ren's usual actions, and pinched Xu Lin's cheek, making Ms. Ren laugh on the side.

Rong Xiyan didn't receive any flowers tonight.

They walked around for two hours, and then had a big meal.

This meal was paid for by Ms. Ren, who said that since Xu Lin and the others were heading back to Jiangdu the next day, she, as the mom, would pay for it.

By a little past ten in the evening, the three returned home.

Ms. Ren placed the roses Xu Lin gave her in a vase, placing it in a conspicuous spot.
