Chapter 392 - arm and a leg (1/2)

After Lu Han's one of a kind gift presentation, a few families took their turn giving Grandfather Ji gifts. Standing in line with 3 families ahead, Ji Jingxu nervously held his gift close to his body.

He sneakily glances at Yue Ling's gift, but seeing it, he purse his lip and couldn't help but steal a glance at everyone else's gifts.

However, seeing their gifts, his lip purse more.

Unlike everyone's gifts, his and Yue Ling's were the smallest. To make things even worse for him, his gift is smaller than hers! So in other words, his gift is the smallest!!

Feeling like a heavy weight was suddenly dropped onto his heart, his head hung low and he stares at the gift with complex feelings. In a very quiet voice, he murmur to himself.

”Will he like my gift…? What if he doesn't...”

Yue Ling stood next to the boy on his left. Hearing his very faint voice that will never escape her ears, she turns to look at him.

Seeing his head down as he stares at the tiny box in his hands, she faintly smiles.

As his older sister who has been in life for so long, how could she not know what he is thinking?

Her gift is the size of a small necklace box, but Ji Jingxu's gift is the size of a ring box.

However, hearing his words continue, she slowly lift her right hand and gently pat the boy on his head.

”Yeye will love your gift.”

Hearing her sudden words, Ji Jingxu felt the heavy feeling in his heart disperse into thin air. His sister's voice is the voice that always gives him the touch of being love.

He raise his head and turn to look at her.

”Jie…”

His lips press tightly together, and he sighs a faint smile that did not reach his eyes. Glancing down at the small box in his hand, he sighs again.

”Do you think he will like something like this? I mean, everyone's gifts looks like it must have costed an arm and a leg.”

Seeing him fidget nervously like a little boy planning to give a gift to his crush, she smiles a chuckle. Her hand that is still on his head messes up his hair a little.

”No matter what gift it is, expensive or inexpensive, it is the thought that always counts.”

She lowers her hand and turn to look ahead at the old man opening his gifts.

As her eyes slowly flutter, her line of sight leaves Grandfather Ji's face and down to his neck. The old man didn't wear any jewelries, but she picture a necklace wrap nicely around his neck. She faintly smiles and her words continue.

”Once you give him your gift, he will have the final piece.”

”…”

Ji Jingxu was listening to her words like an understanding student. After seeing all the flashy gifts everyone had presented and yet to give, he started having second thoughts about his. However, having Yue Ling here to assure him, he is glad that she is back.

Only she can take away this insecurity feeling inside him.

Just as he was finally able to relax his shoulders, he suddenly heard her last sentence and was stupefied.

His eyes widen as if he saw something horrifying in front of him and slowly turn his head like a robot to her.

”J-J-J-Jie…”

He opened and closed his mouth, but was only able to stutter one word as he struggles a very difficult gulp. Lifting one hand, he wipes the imaginary sweat away from his forehead.
