Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 24.2

Chapter 24.2
January
It was Yu Zhiyi’s 15th birthday, and Shi Yi said to her in the school, “Yiyi, come home with me after school.”
As it was her birthday, she agreed happily.
As usual, Qiao Lezhi gave her a small gift. Jiang Mier and the other roommate, Wen Yang, asked her to go buy something to celebrate her birthday.
“Sorry, I’m going home today.”
The roommates expressed their understanding and decided to move the celebration to tomorrow.
At noon, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and after the second class in the afternoon, it began to rain.
By the time school was over, it was still raining.
Some students in the class were upset that they didn’t bring an umbrella.
Luckily, Yu Zhiyi had a habit of carrying a small, colourful umbrella.
Li Shaozhou dangled in the classroom for a while but was unable to go home because he didn’t have an umbrella. One of his friends who lived in the school dormitory told him to wait for a while because he would send an extra umbrella for him.
Li Shaozhou then went to the toilet, and when he came out, he saw a boy holding a colourful umbrella from a few feet away.
That boy gave him a familiar feeling, so he stepped towards the boy and saw that it was Shi Yi.
When Li Shaozhou saw that the umbrella Shi Yi was holding was a colourful girlish type, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Brother Yi, I didn’t see it before; you are so girlish, haha.”
But when he saw Yu Zhiyi run out and get under the colourful umbrella, Li Shaozhou’s smile froze on his face, feeling that the cold rain outside was directly patting his face.
Yu Zhiyi just went to the toilet, so Shi Yi just stood here waiting for her.
When she came back to see one more person was there, she casually asked, “Hey, Li Shaozhou, don’t you have an umbrella?”
Li Shaozhou was about to answer but was preempted by Shi Yi.
“He likes rainy days; don’t worry about him.” As soon as the voice fell, he held the little girl’s shoulders, and the two shared an umbrella and left.
“Brother, will I have a cake this year?”
“Do you need to worry about this kind of thing? In which year didn’t you have a birthday cake?”
Yu Zhiyi puffed her mouth and then smiled sweetly.
She was very happy, and she remembered what her grandmother usually did on her birthday. “My grandmother would boil eggs for me on my birthday.”
That was the simplest and most sincere blessing she had ever received.
But this year’s birthday was different from previous years. As her birthday was on a Wednesday, she couldn’t go back to see her grandmother. Therefore, she decided to give a phone call to her grandmother.
“Don’t worry. You’ll have all the things you had in previous years.”
Yu Zhiyi couldn’t understand the meaning of Shi Yi’s words until they went home.
When she entered the house, she was surprised by an unexpected person.
“Grandma!” Yu Zhiyi ran happily towards her grandmother, who was sitting in the living room talking with Ning Suya.
When she learned about the real reason for her grandmother’s departure, Yu Zhiyi felt very sad because she couldn’t take care of her sick grandmother.
The important thing was that this birthday represented a new turning point in her life. She was thinking that God let her meet Shi Yi and his family to make up for her missing parents.
Yu Zhiyi received several small gifts today.
‘I received gifts from my friends; grandma’s eggs were eaten, and the cake from Shi’s family was also eaten, but what about Shi Yi’s gift?’
Yu Zhiyi didn’t need to ask for gifts from Shi Yi. They had spent 15 birthdays together, and Shi Yi had never disappointed Yu Zhiyi, and she was looking forward to that gift.
Grandma came to the city alone, and it was too late to leave. So Ning Suya let the old woman stay with them that day.
The grandmother went to bed early, and when she fell asleep, Shi Yi came to Yu Zhiyi’s room and gestured for her to come out.
After entering Shi Yi’s room, Yu Zhiyi gazed carefully over the room but didn’t find anything that was taken as a gift.
‘On the table? Bed? Or something else?’
She is familiar with the layout of Shi Yi’s room, and it seems that there is no such thing as “a gift”.
“What are you looking for?”
