Xueyue stared at the boxes on the table in assorted colors, sizes, and decorations.
The largest and most extravagant box stood right in front of her—untouched and ready to be claimed by her.
Everyone held their breath when she reached for another box. Suddenly, her hand changed direction and picked up a modest box. It was simple and the royal purple reminded her of the Li family tent.
The people snickered at her. How dumb was she to choose the ugliest and smallest box? Was she purposefully showing how humble she was? How foolish! When it came to these extravagant gifts, why not be greedy for once and choose the largest box?
When Xueyue opened the box, she was surprised to see a slip of paper inside. Taking it out, a few whispered amongst themselves. She must've chosen a dud. She had lost her chance of receiving a priceless hairpin, a glamorous pair of earrings, or an eye-widening necklace.
Xueyue unfolded the slip of paper. She was surprised to see a writing: A wish.
