Chapter 10: Gifts

Before meeting Qiao Mingjue for dinner in the evening, Yin Xinyan deliberately went to the gift shop on the shopping street.

Qiao Mingjue personally sent her home last night and helped her out in front of her family, he did so much, Yin Xinyan felt that it was absolutely not enough to simply invite him to a meal.

I thought about finding time to ask him out for a trip or a movie, but these ideas were quickly denied by Yin Xinyan herself.

Yin Xinyan has also fantasized countless times that she and Qiao Mingjue went out to eat, go shopping, and even watch movies together, and she was able to do all these things again in the name of gratitude, Yin Xinyan's heart was simply happy.

But calm down and think about it, now is not the right time.

Everything that happened last night is still vivid, Yin Xinyan inadvertently confided in Qiao Mingjue the truest emotions in her heart, which has made Qiao Mingjue have some estrangement and distance from her, and finally regained her calm, if she proposes to watch a movie or something again, won't she dig a pit and jump in?

Thinking of what happened last night, Yin Xinyan also regretted it, but who made her have to drink so much wine in anger!

While thinking about how to make Qiao Mingjue let go of last night's events in his heart, while pacing in front of the rows of gift shelves, Yin Xinyan frowned slightly, and carefully glanced at the exquisite gifts placed on the shelves one by one.

The ceramic jar is small and cute, the music box is delicate and dreamy, Qiao Mingjue likes to play basketball and watch basketball games, and the bag printed with many basketball stars on the shelf next to it seems to be good.

Yin Xinyan was dazzled by the variety of gifts, and if she could, she really wanted to buy one for each of them to give to him.

Qiao Mingjue's position in Yin Xinyan's heart is unique, so many things, no matter which one they are, in Yin Xinyan's opinion, they seem to set off Qiao Mingjue's temperament, and they are also very in line with Qiao Mingjue's interests.

"Miss, do you need any help?"

Seeing that Yin Xinyan had been wandering around the store for half an hour, the clerk couldn't help but come forward to inquire about the situation.

Yin Xinyan smiled awkwardly: "I want to choose a gift for my friend, but I don't know what to choose......"

"Who would you like to give a gift to?boyfriend?" the clerk asked politely, smiling.

"The other party is a guy, but it's not a gift for your boyfriend. ”

"Is that someone you like? If so, I suggest you choose this dolphin pendant to show your heart. ”

The clerk carefully observed Yin Xinyan's demeanor and expression when she spoke, and cleverly recommended the pendant placed in front of the store for her.

Yin Xinyan smiled: "You've been working in this shop for a long time, right? I won't tell you, I like him, but he doesn't like me, I don't want to give a necklace as a gift that is easy to cause misunderstanding, let's look at something else!"

"I have been working here for three years, and I have been in contact with different customers every day, trying to understand and observe the needs and preferences of each customer as much as possible. I don't like the necklace, why don't you come here and see the potted plants?"

The clerk smiled and nodded, leading Yin Xinyan towards the shelves full of small potted plants on the other side near the door of the store.

Yin Xinyan sometimes really admires these clerks, repeating the same work day after day and year after year, from the initial curiosity to the final numbness, they have long learned to observe words and feelings, adapt to changes, and become no longer like themselves.

She had already thought about these long before Yin Xinyan entered the workplace.

She has never been afraid to grow up, and she has never been afraid to face the adult world, but she doesn't want to become like them, with a false smile mask on her face, she wants to be the most authentic version of herself!

But this is difficult to do, and now she is probably not the same she was many years ago......

Her eyes fell on the pots of vibrant potted plants, Yin Xinyan still felt that it was inappropriate, she always felt that none of these things recommended by the clerk could match Qiao Mingjue's mind.

Seeing that Yin Xinyan still couldn't make a decision, the clerk really couldn't think of any suitable gifts, and was about to persuade Yin Xinyan to change to a gift shop to see something different, when he heard Yin Xinyan's excited shouting.

"This! I'm going to want this!"

As soon as Yin Xinyan turned around, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she reached out and took a keychain from the shelf.

The keychain is small and in the shape of a round basketball, and the metal edge glows softly under the lights of the store.

The clerk immediately took it and said, "Okay, please come with me to the cashier to settle the bill." ”

The clerk behind the cashier almost fainted when he saw this keychain, this customer has been almost an hour since he entered the store, and after such a long time of screening, he actually took such a keychain?!

But the customer is God, and even if she lends her ten dares, she doesn't dare to say it now.

Yin Xinyan watched the clerk put the keychain into a small paper bag, pointed to the flowers placed on the right side of the counter, and said softly: "Please help me wrap a bouquet of flowers, no roses, no too big bouquet, the simpler the better." ”

"Your total of fifty-two yuan, please take your belongings, thank you for coming, welcome to visit next time!"

The change was handed over, Yin Xinyan took the bag and left the gift shop satisfied.

The rain gradually became lighter, and the sky was oppressive gray, but this did not affect Yin Xinyan's good mood.

After knowing Qiao Mingjue for so many years, Yin Xinyan can be sure that he must like this keychain very much!

As long as she thought that Qiao Mingjue would take this keychain with her every day in the future, Yin Xinyan's heart was sweeter than eating honey.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Yin Xinyan decided to go directly to the western restaurant where the two agreed to meet for dinner.

At the same time, inside a cake shop on the side of the street.

"It's your cake and welcome to your next visit!"

Taking the cake box handed over by the clerk, Qin Jiaxi smiled and nodded, turned around and walked outside the store.

Before Lin Wenxuan got up this morning, he had already called the store and ordered a big chocolate cake.

The chocolate cake in this store is Lin Wenxuan's favorite, and Qin Jiaxi has always kept this matter in mind.

In fact, he really didn't want to take the cake as a condition for her to stay this morning, even if she didn't agree to stay, he would send the ordered cake to her home, and would never let her leave aggrieved.

But since the topic was provoked by Lin Wenxuan, he simply followed her train of thought.

Anyway, at least he's managed to keep her with a cake, hasn't he?

Thinking of this, Qin Jiaxi's lips were dyed with a gentle smile, he lowered his head, and took the car keys from his pocket as he walked forward.

Yin Xinyan happened to turn from the path next to her, and she was caught off guard, and the two collided together.

The paper bag in Yin Xinyan's hand fell to the ground, and the keychain rolled out along the opening, until it reached Qin Jiaxi's feet, where the keychain made a circle and stopped steadily.

"Hey, why don't you look at the road when you walk?"

Yin Xinyan hurriedly squatted down to pick up the paper bag on the ground, and carefully checked the bouquet of flowers, for fear that those delicate petals would not be able to withstand the impact and fall off.

"Xinyan, I'm sorry! This keychain should be yours too, right?"

Qin Jiaxi bent down to pick up the keychain at his feet, gently wiped off the rainwater on the keychain, and handed it to Yin Xinyan with a smile.

Hearing the other party call out her name, Yin Xinyan was a little surprised, and hurriedly stood up and raised her head, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're ...... Qin Jiaxi?Xuanxuan's friend?"

Yin Xinyan took the keychain like a baby, carefully put it away, and tentatively called out the other party's name.

"That's right, we meet again. Qin Jiaxi nodded.

Yin Xinyan and Qin Jiaxi are not familiar, the two have only met once at Lin Wenxuan's birthday party before, at that time it was Qin Jiaxi's first year to work in Bihu City, he was not familiar with the place, and his first impression on Yin Xinyan was that he didn't talk much, and he was very indifferent to people and things.

When Lin Wenxuan had another birthday the next year, she followed Qin Jiaxi back to Jinhai City, and since that year, Lin Wenxuan has never had a birthday party, and Yin Xinyan and Qin Jiaxi have never met again.

There was basically no communication between the two of them when they met for the first time, and in the future, Lin Wenxuan rarely mentioned anything about Qin Jiaxi in front of Yin Xinyan and Qiao Mingjue, if it wasn't for the chance bumping into each other today, Yin Xinyan would almost not be able to remember the existence of this person.

Qin Jiaxi's memory is really good, but people didn't hesitate to call out Yin Xinyan's name!

Yin Xinyan sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but start looking at Qin Jiaxi, who had taken root in Bihu City, compared to the first time they met, he was much more mature, a little less childish, and a little more calm and calm temperament.

"You bought the cake for Xuanxuan?" Yin Xinyan's eyes fell on the cake box.

She couldn't be more familiar with this shop!

Lin Wenxuan loves sweets, it is almost a well-known thing, Qin Jiaxi, as Lin Wenxuan's friend, knows which store Lin Wenxuan likes to eat cakes, Yin Xinyan will not be surprised at all.

Qin Jiaxi smiled: "Yes, Xuanxuan likes this chocolate cake, so I'll buy one and give it to her, just to celebrate her successful sitting in the position of deputy director." What about you? Are you going home? I have a car here, do I need to drop you off?"

"Don't bother, I'm going to have dinner with a friend, I'll just go over by myself. ”

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Xu is afraid that Qin Jiaxi will have some misunderstanding, Yin Xinyan did not say the fact that she went out to see Qiao Mingjue.

Qin Jiaxi was not polite anymore, and said goodbye with a smile: "Okay, you pay attention to safety on the road, I'll go back first!"

"Yes, okay, goodbye. Yin Xinyan watched Qin Jiaxi leave, and then turned around and set off in the direction of the Western restaurant.

In the car, Qin Jiaxi looked at Yin Xinyan's back, recalling the keychain he had just held in his hand, and the look in his eyes was a little complicated.

This keychain seems to fit someone's hobbies......
