It’s now January in the solar calendar, Saturday is Uncle’s birthday…

As it turns out, Uncle is an Aquarius.

Baili Xia doesn’t study Zodiac signs much, but she has a particular fondness for Aquarius.

They say Aquarius men are indifferent and cold, even flirtatious.

Yet some say that’s just on the surface.

Aquarius men are cold because they have had their hearts broken deeply.

It’s not that they don’t love, but they love deeply, their one and only love.

If you meet an Aquarius man who has been hurt, you might never be able to truly enter his heart.

But if you are his true love, then congratulations, his love for you will last a lifetime.

This is the version she read, unsure if it’s true, but because of it, she especially loves Aquarius men.

Uncle is actually an Aquarius man, so what stage is he at now?

A lifetime of love, or a lifetime of indifference?

No, that’s just some sayings about Zodiac signs, they can’t be trusted.

What’s the point of applying Zodiac explanations to a living man?

“Oh.” He said he’s going to have a birthday, Baili Xia didn’t know how to respond, so she just let out a faint “Oh.”

“Oh?” Clearly, this response made Mu Xiaojiu extremely dissatisfied.

Baili Xia pursed her lips, genuinely unsure what he wants to do.

Thinking about it, she suddenly raised her head to meet his gaze: “I understand, I’ll tell Brother to prepare for your birthday.”

Now everyone is in Bei Miao, not in Jin City, he doesn’t have any friends here, it’s just the few of them.

Uncle told her about his upcoming birthday, doesn’t he want the younger ones to celebrate for him?

“Gift.” Mu Xiaojiu suddenly said in a deep voice.

“Gift?” Baili Xia was stunned, immediately staring at him.

She really wanted to call him childish, a twenty-something-year-old wanting a gift for his birthday, isn’t it embarrassing?

But facing his serious gaze, she didn’t dare to speak these words aloud.

Why so serious?

It made her feel inexplicably sour inside, a bit uncomfortable.

“Alright, I’ll prepare a gift, is that okay?”

“Why don’t you ask me what I want?” He wasn’t joking at all, his expression was very serious.

Inexplicably, she was frightened by this serious expression.

What…

does he want?

“Too… expensive, I can’t afford it.” Baili Xia replied somewhat woodenly to his gaze.

The heated gaze seemed to penetrate her soul, making her whole body tense, unable to relax.

“You can afford it.” Mu Xiaojiu stepped half a foot closer to her.

Baili Xia wanted to retreat, but her legs seemed entirely frozen, unable to move at all.

“I…” Not knowing what she’s thinking, when Mu Xiaojiu approached her, she blurted out, “I won’t give myself to you.”

“…” The man didn’t speak.

The girl bit her lip, looking at a loss.

That line seems…

like something from a romance novel.

Usually in such a situation, the man would tell the woman, giving yourself to me would be enough.

When he approached, she reflexively said that.

Now after saying it, she felt…

she might have been too clever by half.

“Give yourself to me?” Mu Xiaojiu raised an eyebrow, “How about an advance gift?”

“No…”

Her words had only just escaped when he completely blocked them…
