Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

A few mornings later.

The alarm clock rings.

When Jian Yan saw that it was the weekend, he stopped the alarm and slept a little longer.

I got up at 8:30, washed up, and when I opened the door I heard a noise on the door and found a jar of exquisite candy hanging on the door handle.

She picked up the glass candy jar tied with colorful braided rope, and was surprised when she suddenly saw a natural wood-colored card fall out.

I bent down to pick up the card that had fallen to the ground and found that it said, "Happy Birthday."

The font is very beautiful, the type that makes people like it at first sight, tends to be regular script, neat and bony. The pen is strong, the beginning is sharp and the end is subtle, gentle but sharp. The owner should be a person who knows how to restrain himself.

She then remembered that today was November 11th, the original owner's birthday. In fact, she and the original owner had the same birthday, but she had never celebrated it since she was a child, so she didn't deliberately remember it.

She felt a little uncomfortable when she suddenly received the words "Happy Birthday".

Indescribably weird in my heart.

The font on the card looked very familiar to her, and she guessed that it might have been written by Tong Huaimu or Xuexiang?

She couldn't think of anyone else who would give her a birthday present except the two of them.

Especially two days ago, Tong Huaimu asked her if she liked sweet things, and she replied that she liked candy.

But is Tong Huaimu's handwriting like this? She couldn't quite make out the handwriting when she saw him writing physics formulas, but she vaguely remembered that it wasn't like this...

As I was stroking the words above, I heard a puppy barking in the distance, "Woof! Woof woof!"

She looked up and saw a big Tuanzi running up the spiral staircase and rushing towards her excitedly and cutely.

She took it in her arms and said, "You've gained a lot of weight, Tuanzi?"

Then the boy's voice sounded, and he seemed a little helpless. "Tuanzi, wait a moment, I—"

Run into her.

He was obviously stunned, "Are you awake?"

Jian Yan put the dumpling down. It should weigh about 20 kilograms now. It was not very friendly to his arms to hold it for a long time. In short, it felt a little sore.

She lifted the braided rope in her hand, and the glass sugar jar inside was illuminated by the sun, reflecting colorful light. She smiled and said to Tong Huaimu: "I received the gift you gave me, and I like it very much."

Finally, he said solemnly, "Thank you."

Tong Huaimu frowned in surprise and quickly waved his hand to deny:

"This is not my gift to you. I haven't given you mine yet."

Then he thought that he was not the first person to give a gift, and he looked annoyed, his handsome face wrinkled, "Who gave this to me? It was before me!"

He thought that since he got up early enough, he would be the first one to give her a gift. Being the first would be more meaningful and more likely to be remembered.

It ended up being the second one.

Seeing that he was not convinced, Jian Yan smiled helplessly and took out the retro wooden card. "I think this word is very beautiful. I thought you have been practicing regular script recently."

When Tong Huaimu heard the word "kaishu", a suspicion flashed through his mind. But she should have only told him that she liked candy, how could others know?

He quickly ran upstairs to get close to her and take a look.

The moment he saw the words, his face fell and he twitched the corners of his mouth: "This is my father's handwriting."

Jian Yan was stunned.

"Your father?"

How could Tong Ruixiao give such a childish gift? It was really strange.

If it was Tong Huaimu who gave it to her, she would think it was natural because he was still a child and didn't think too much. But it was a bit childish for Tong Ruixiao, an adult, to give candy.

But I don't mind it.

Because she never thought about what she would get on this day, she didn't even remember that it was her birthday.

This jar of sugar is very sweet.

The moment she received it, she felt the sweetness, regardless of the taste of the sugar itself.

"How did he know you like candy?"

The boy walked into the house, he wanted to get her a gift. His father was first, so he should be second.

Jian Yan was called by him to follow him, and thought for a while, "Maybe I told him before, but I forgot."

In fact, it was very likely that he investigated her and found out about the original owner's past with Jian Yao, and took the candy along with him.

This jar of candy is more likely a warning than a gift.

Warn her that he already knew her past and ask her not to do such immoral things again.

Even if it is a marriage partner, I don’t like the other party to go too far.

It is true that marriages can be conducted in a way that allows both parties to have their own fun, but if one party's behavior is against ethical and moral standards, then it is not allowed.

After all, she is now Tong Ruixiao's nominal wife. If the scandal gets out, it will tarnish the reputation of the Tong family.

The boy snorted, "I thought I was the only one who knew that."

He took out a black crocodile leather box, the size of a palm, from the desk and handed it to her.

Jian Yan took the box, glanced at him, and heard him say proudly: "Here, this is my gift to you."

When she was about to open it, he insisted, "It's definitely much better than what he gave you!"

Jane Yan opened it with a smile, and an extremely thin maple leaf bracelet came into view.

There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, "So beautiful."

The main body of the bracelet is a very fine and thin golden branch that is spirally wound into a double layer, with a blood-red maple leaf extending from the end.

The rubies are full and shiny as the flesh of maple leaves, and the golden veins are ingeniously inlaid in them, like a golden thread swimming in them. The carving process is complex and delicate, which can be said to be a masterpiece of nature.

The bracelet perfectly combines the elegance of gold with the beauty of gems. It is extremely beautiful and elegant, showing unparalleled luxury and nobility.

Tong Huaimu looked at her expression and couldn't help but feel complacent, "How about it, doesn't it look good? I knew you would like it!"

"It's so beautiful," Jian Yan couldn't help but admire, "The maple leaves look alive."

"Or in other words, it preserves the life of a certain maple leaf."

It was the first time that she received such beautiful jewelry that was to her liking. It aroused infinite emotions in her heart, rippling like lush spring grass.

"I'll wear it for you."

Tong Ruixiao thought that the necklace on his neck was given to him by her, so he also wanted to give her this gift.

He took out the bracelet and put it on her.

Her hands were slender and the bracelet made her look even whiter, while the blood-red color of the maple leaves was enchanting and beautiful.

"So lovely."

The corners of his mouth were raised high, and he looked smug like an innocent child.

Her eyes seemed to be washed by water, clear and bright, and every word she said was sincere: "Happy birthday, Jian Yan!"

"I didn't expect to receive such a beautiful gift, I'm really happy..."

Jian Yan hugged him gently, "Thank you, Xiao Mu."

She felt the bracelet on her wrist emitting heat, which spread and warmed her entire body.

"Before coming here, I didn't really think much about my birthday. It was just an ordinary date in my mind. But today it suddenly became different, like a black and white painting suddenly turned into color."
