When Shen Jun heard this, he froze and chuckled. His lips curled into a wicked smile as he leaned closer to Wen Nian and said, “Then if you don’t have to go to school tomorrow, is that okay?”

Wen Nian’s face grew even redder, and she shyly pushed Shen Jun lightly, saying, “Don’t find loopholes in my words.”

Shen Jun lightly pressed his hand into a fist against his lips, concealing the growing smile, “Do you want to see what my gift is first, and then decide whether I’m serious or not?”

Wen Nian hesitated, sensing something off, and reached out to unwrap the packaging paper and open the gift box.

Inside was a set of exercise books meticulously arranged by a popular publisher favored by high school students and teachers in China. Each book was about two or three centimeters thick, totaling six books, covering all the knowledge points from the three years of high school for various subjects. Wen Nian’s expression stiffened instantly.

Shen Jun couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw Wen Nian shooting him a death glare. He quickly suppressed his laughter, adjusted his attitude, and said, “You can work on these at my place tonight. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. But for now, blow out the candles quickly, or they’ll burn out.”

Only then did Wen Nian redirect her gaze, blowing out the candles in one breath. Shen Jun attentively handed her the cake-cutting knife.

Wen Nian had thought she wouldn’t be able to eat much after dinner, but the cake turned out to be both visually appealing and delicious!

They managed to eat only half of it before stopping. Wen Nian put the rest in the refrigerator, planning to share it with her dormmates the next day.

After putting away the cake, Wen Nian turned to Shen Jun, who was trailing behind her like a shadow, and said, “I think I’ll head back to school later. I didn’t bring any spare clothes.”

Shen Jun was prepared and calmly replied, “I’ve got everything ready for you.”

With that, Shen Jun led Wen Nian into the bedroom, where he had built an entire wardrobe along one wall. They walked to the innermost side near the head of the bed.

Following Shen Jun’s signal, Wen Nian hesitated and opened the wardrobe. A row of summer dresses came into view, even the undergarments were prepared neatly.

Shen Jun’s face was filled with approval, “I picked them all out, and I’ve washed them once. You can just put them on.”

Wen Nian touched the fabric with her hand, knowing that these clothes were definitely not cheap. She asked curiously, “Where did you get so much money from?”

Leaning against the wardrobe door, Shen Jun shared joyfully, “The program I developed is finished and already in use. I’ve started to recoup some of the money 1 invested earlier.”

Wen Nian jumped with joy, hugging Shen Jun’s neck and unable to contain her excitement. She praised him, “My little Shen is amazing!”

Only elders or superiors would add the word “little” in front of the other party’s surname or name when they were greeting someone. Shen Jun clicked his tongue, frowned slightly, and pretended to be angry. “How rude of you to call me Little Shen.”

Looking up mischievously, Wen Nian taunted, “Why not? I’m a few months older than you. If we’re really calculating, you should be calling me ‘big sister.’ Go ahead, call me big sister.”

Shen Jun hadn’t realized that he was younger than Wen Nian before. He chuckled, affectionately rubbing Wen Nian’s head, “Big sister, Nian Jie.”

Wen Nian shook her head proudly a few times, “Good. So, last weekend, when you didn’t help me with the tutoring, were you meeting a client?”

Shen Jun wrapped his arm around Wen Nian’s waist, patiently explaining, “Yes, I went on a trip abroad to sign a contract last weekend. I planned to tell you after your birthday, so I held back.”

Although Wen Nian wasn’t directly involved, she had witnessed it. She knew how much effort Shen Jun had put into this project. For him, the success of the project wasn’t just a validation of his abilities, but also the realization of his dreams.

Understanding him well, she could empathize with his joy even more. Listening to Shen Jun express his feelings so sincerely, she said, “I think this news is the best birthday gift for me this year.”

Shen Jun lowered his head to rest against Wen Nian’s forehead and gently kissed her slightly upturned lips.

At this moment, words seemed unnecessary. They simply embraced each other, sharing their happiness in silence.

Wen Nian’s peripheral vision caught sight of the row of clothes, and the underwear in the small basket beneath. Suppressing her shy curiosity, she asked, “I didn’t even try them on, and you bought so many clothes. What if they don’t fit? The tags are all torn off, so if they don’t fit, I can only give them away..”
