Chapter 68

Shen Mingyou found a vase and put the old single flower Jiang Chen had given her into it.

Nian Nian had been following her mother closely. Shen Mingyou saw her daughter put a small wreath on her head, touch it gently, then take it off to play with it. It was clear Nian Nian liked the small wreath very much.

Moreover, Nian Nian would glance at her mother from time to time. When she saw her mother looking, she would try to guide her mother’s gaze toward the little wreath.

Shen Mingyou looked at the flowers in the vase, then at the small wreath on Nian Nian’s head. After a moment, she realized, “Was this little wreath from Dad too?”

Nian Nian was relieved that her mother finally asked about the wreath. She puffed out her round belly, nodded, and said, “Yes, Dad made it himself.”

Shen Mingyou had noticed the wreath earlier but didn’t think much of it because she was in a rush to get to the show. She assumed Butler He had made it for Nian Nian.

Butler He had a knack for crafts and loved tending to the garden. He often made small wreaths, flower crowns, or little animal shapes out of the flowers and plants for Nian Nian. So naturally, when Shen Mingyou first saw this small wreath, she thought it was another gift from Butler He.

Who would have thought that Jiang Chen made it for Nian Nian himself?

Shen Mingyou touched Nian Nian’s wreath and said, “Oh, Dad made it beautifully. It looks like Nian Nian really likes it.”

Nian Nian smiled but said, “I like it just so-so.”

“And what about Mom?” Nian Nian looked up and asked, “Does Mom like Dad’s gift?”

Shen Mingyou copied her daughter’s earlier expression and said, “Just like Nian Nian, I think Mom likes it the same amount.”

Nian Nian giggled, hugging her mother’s legs and rubbing her head against them.

Shen Mingyou smiled and gently patted her daughter’s head.

[Haha, Nian Nian is so happy. Just a small wreath can make her so cheerful. Kids are easy to please.]

[Tsundere Nian Nian! Even though she really likes it, she pretends to only like it a little. So cute!]

[Although Sister Youzi’s husband didn’t appear, a bouquet and a wreath from Mr. Jiang were enough to win the hearts of his wife and daughter. President Jiang, don’t forget to send more flowers in the future to keep Sister Youzi and Nian Nian happy!]

…

As Shen Mingyou was packing her luggage, most of the other guests had arrived.

When Nian Nian saw that her friends had arrived, she ran out with a small backpack and quickly reunited with them.

“Sister Nian Nian, I missed you so much,” Zhou Zi Ai was the first to greet her.

Zhao Yiyang was also thrilled to see his friends. He took out the gifts he had prepared and said, “Nian Nian, this is for you. Zi Ai, this is yours.”

“I brought a gift too.”

“Me too.”

The children started handing out the gifts they had brought. After a while, Nian Nian had four small gifts in her hands. She opened her small backpack and took out the gifts she had prepared.

“Wow, a rose!” Zhou Zi Ai was excited when she saw Nian Nian pull out a rose. She loved flowers.

Nian Nian gave the first rose to Zi Ai, then gave the rest to the three boys.

Nian Nian knew that after this show, she wouldn’t have to follow her mom to record shows anymore. Except for Jiang Xu, who went to the same kindergarten, it would probably be hard for her to see the other friends again in the future.

She had been thinking about what gifts to give to her friends but hadn’t come up with any ideas.

This morning, when her dad took her to the flower shop, Nian Nian suddenly had an idea. While her dad was making a small wreath, she picked four of the brightest and prettiest roses in the shop. The clerk helped her remove the thorns and wrapped each rose beautifully. She planned to give one to each of her four little friends as gifts when they met.

Nian Nian loves flowers, so she wanted to give her favorite flowers to her friends as a souvenir.

Jiang Xu held his rose and said, “Nian Nian, my dad says roses are for boys to give to girls. You’re a girl, how can you give me a flower?”

“Really?” Nian Nian didn’t know there was such a rule.

“Yes.” Jiang Xu, who knew a lot, continued, “Giving a rose means you’re someone’s only one. You gave roses to several of us. So, who is your only one?”

“It must be me,” Zi Ai said sweetly, holding her rose. “I’m Nian Nian’s only sister, so I should be the only one!”

Zi Yu added, “No, I’m her only brother here, so it should be me.”

“You’re both wrong,” Jiang Xu argued. “Nian Nian and I go to school together every day. We have the best relationship, so I must be her only one!”

Zhao Yi Yang also looked at Nian Nian, holding his rose.

Zi Ai snorted and took Nian Nian’s hand. “Sister Nian Nian, who is your only one among us?”

Jiang Xu said, “Yes, Nian Nian, you decide.”

“…” Nian Nian hadn’t expected that giving flowers would lead to this. She just wanted to give them as a gift and didn’t know the meaning of giving roses.

Nian Nian said, “You’re all unique.”

“No way!”

“Yeah, there can only be one!”

Nian Nian: “…”

[Hahaha, poor Nian Nian, too hard to choose!]

[Nian Nian: Who’s my only one? This is such a tough decision!]

[Maybe Nian Nian can have multiple relationships? Every friend is her only one. Today she cares for one, tomorrow for another. Wouldn’t that be nice?]
