Chapter 187: A Special Gift
Chapter 187: A Special Gift
Huang Xiaochuan ran to the balcony and looked down. It was the postman delivering a package. He quickly replied, "Yes, yes!"
"Take your personal seal with you when you come down," the postman reminded him.
Huang Xiaochuan went to the bedroom drawer to find Yu Xiang's personal seal, put on his shoes, and went downstairs.
He greeted the postman politely, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Didn't you even take a lunch break?"
The mailman didn't look very old, probably under thirty, and he was quite friendly.
"This is an express registered air parcel; it needs to be delivered promptly. Please confirm receipt."
While busy stamping the receipts, Huang Xiaochuan expressed his gratitude: "Thank you!"
After completing the formalities, the postman handed a large box to Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Xiaochuan exclaimed in disbelief, "Do a few outfits really need to be packaged like this?"
Although one person could bring it home, with Yu Wei around, there's no harm in not using this free labor.
He then looked up and shouted towards the third floor, "Yu Wei, come down and help me lift it."
After a while, Yu Wei reluctantly got down, complaining as he walked.
"How big is the package? Do I need to come down and help carry it?"
"Oh my god?" Yu Wei was startled by the wooden box that was almost as tall as a person.
Actually, this wooden box is only a little tall, about 40 centimeters thick, about 60 centimeters wide, but about 1.7 meters high.
"What's in here?"
"Help me carry it back; you'll see once it's taken apart."
The box looked big, but it wasn't heavy at all, and the two of them easily carried it home.
Yu Xiang and Tang Yuan both looked at the large wooden box in the living room with puzzled expressions.
"Xiaochuan, what's in here?"
"You'll know once you take it apart."
Huang Xiaochuan only realized why Huang Boyi had sent him clothes in such a large box after he opened the box.
The box is like a wardrobe, with clothes hanging inside, but they are all fixed in place so that no matter how they are moved around, their positions will not be disturbed.
Huang Xiaochuan took out the clothes one by one and handed them to Yu Xiang.
"Give it a try and see if you like it?"
Upon seeing the clothes, Yu Xiang asked with delight, "Did you buy these?"
Tang Yuan was extremely envious; these clothes looked so beautiful, and the material was so nice too.
Huang Xiaochuan laughed and said, "To be precise, I designed it for you myself, and then I found a clothing factory in Hong Kong to make it individually. Each piece is unique and you can't buy it anywhere else."
Yu Xiang, Yu Wei, and Tang Yuan were all dumbfounded. Who would send clothes like this?
The group quickly came to their senses. Tang Yuan clasped his hands in front of his chest, his eyes sparkling. "My brother-in-law is so romantic!"
Yu Wei thought to himself, "No wonder my sister is so devoted to this guy, he's too good at pleasing women!"
Yu Xiang was enveloped in an immense sense of happiness, and her eyes were practically melting with tears when she looked at Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Xiaochuan urged, "Hurry up and try it on! Show it to us!"
Tang Yuan pulled Yu Xiang into the room to try on clothes.
Yu Wei kept looking Huang Xiaochuan up and down, making "tsk tsk tsk" noises.
"Just say what you have to say, or shut up. Stop staring at me like that. I don't have words on my face."
"When did you learn to fawn over women like this? You weren't like this before!"
"That's all nonsense. Why would I try to please a woman I don't like? Your sister is my wife. It's only natural for me to be good to my wife!"
Yu Wei felt so jealous! Huang Xiaochuan was such a disgusting guy.
Just then, Yu Xiang came out after changing her clothes, and Huang Xiaochuan's eyes lit up.
Yu Xiang asked, "Is it pretty?"
Needless to say! Of course it looks great! The clothes fit perfectly, and most importantly, my wife has a great figure!
Huang Xiaochuan nodded in satisfaction.
Yu Wei was also stunned; these clothes were really nice!
Suddenly, something occurred to him: "We've been friends since we were kids, when did you start designing clothes? How come I didn't know?"
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Yu Wei.
"I'll tell you about this later, don't say anything now!"
Yu Xiang tried on all the clothes, and every single one fit her perfectly and looked great. Tang Yuan was extremely envious, but unfortunately, these clothes couldn't be bought outside.
After Yu Xiang changed back into her original clothes, she asked Huang Xiaochuan, "Did you really design these clothes?"
Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to explain, so he took out paper and pen and drew a simple sketch of clothing on the spot, using Yu Wei and Tang Yuan as models. It was like designing an outfit for the two of them.
Facts speak louder than words. Huang Xiaochuan's demonstration on the spot completely dispelled Yu Wei's doubts. This guy really can design clothes!
Tang Yuan held the simple drawing, his eyes shining.
"Brother-in-law, this dress is so beautiful, can I have this painting?"
"What's so great about the drawing? You and Yu Wei can find someone to take your exact measurements and mark them on this drawing. I'll find this clothing factory to make the clothes for you. Consider it a gift from your sister and me."
"Really?" Tang Yuan looked incredulous.
"It couldn't be more real!"
Tang Yuan was unaware that this was a trivial matter for Huang Xiaochuan.
There will be more times in the future that will surprise her.
Having benefited from the deal, Yu Wei remained silent. The facts were undeniable, and he had no choice but to accept them.
When Yu Wei and Tang Yuan left, they took the painting with them, saying they wanted to find a professional tailor to take their measurements.
On the way, Tang Yuan scolded Yu Wei, saying, "Look how good your brother-in-law is to your older sister. You've been playing with your brother-in-law since you were little, how come you didn't learn these things? You're not romantic at all."
Yu Wei sighed helplessly, "Sigh! I knew you'd say that. You know there's only one Huang Xiaochuan in this world, and only one Yu Wei. I can't possibly imitate Huang Xiaochuan in everything, can I? We each have our own strengths, otherwise why would you like me?"
Tang Yuan, blushing, spat at Yu Wei: "Pah! Shameless!"
After Yu Wei and the other man left, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang spent another afternoon together. Yu Xiang was gentle and tender, while Huang Xiaochuan was passionate and fiery. They really went crazy a few times!
Later, lying in bed, Huang Xiaochuan joked, "There's no such thing as land that's been overworked, only oxen that die from exhaustion!"
Embarrassed and annoyed, Yu Xiang smacked Huang Xiaochuan a few times: "Where did you learn all this nonsense? Don't say it again!"
Huang Xiaochuan immediately shifted the blame to his unlucky brother-in-law, Yu Wei: "He learned it from your brother. You have to teach him a lesson later. He's the one who corrupted me."
Yu Xiang glanced at Huang Xiaochuan with feigned displeasure, then got up and tied her hair up.
He asked, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook, you can get some sleep!"
"Noodles, please! Something simple will be fine for dinner."
"Okay, go take a nap! I'll wake you up when the noodles are ready!"
Yu Xiang frowned and cried out "Ouch!" as soon as her feet touched the ground.
Huang Xiaochuan quickly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Yu Xiang said angrily, "Go to sleep, I'm fine!"
Huang Xiaochuan immediately understood what was going on and chuckled!
Yu Xiang scolded, "You bully!" and then went to the kitchen to prepare noodles.
After dinner, Huang Xiaochuan rode his old Phoenix bicycle all the way back to school. When he passed through a less crowded area, he even showed off his cycling skills by riding with both hands off the handlebars. It's good to be young.
