Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the hallway.
Xia Lan and Xia Fei walked in together, holding small envelopes. When they saw Gu Jin standing with her backpack and the debit card in hand, they smiled brightly.
"You're really leaving?" Xia Lan asked.
"Just for a while," Gu Jin replied.
"Well, in that case," Xia Fei said, holding out an envelope, "here's something from us too."
Xia Lan handed hers over as well. "Each card has 1 billion mutes. We hope you'll accept it."
Gu Jin's eyes widened. "No, I… I can't accept this."
"Yes, you can," Xia Lan said quickly. "It's a gift. For being our sister."
"Just think of it as a late birthday gift," Xia Fei added with a wink.
Gu Jin hesitated, but they both placed the cards into her hands. She had no choice but to smile and hold them close.
"Thank you… thank you so much," she said, her heart warmed by their kindness.
