Chapter 21 Gifts

"You're almost the same?" Lu Junyuan asked.

Zhou Jiayi replied as a matter of course, "Yes, at the beginning of December, didn't you also take the exam last year?" What's so weird. ”

Realizing that he might have misunderstood the reason why Zhou Jiayi suddenly stopped coming to his house, Lu Junyuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but ask, "So you've been reviewing at home for the past two days?" ”

"Not exactly." Zhou Jiayi explained, "It is estimated that the weather is cold, my grandparents are not in good health, and now they are hospitalized, my father has no time, my mother has to go to the hospital to take care of me, I have to stay at home for the past two days, and then I have to cook and go to the hospital to deliver food." Actually, your brother and his mother came over, and my mother originally planned to ask you to come over with your family for dinner, but now she doesn't have time. ”

Zhou Jiayi suddenly remembered as she spoke, "By the way, isn't this weekend your birthday?" , I don't think I can come to the exam, so I'll give you a gift in advance, you wait. ”

It is impossible for Zhou Jiayi not to be angry if Lu Junyuan directly asked her to go home that day, but after calming down and thinking about it, she probably understood the reason.

Judging from Lu Junyuan's attitude towards his younger brother, he is not disgusted, but if he likes it, it is not all, he should have both a love for his younger brother who has the same blood as him, and a kind of nostalgia for robbing other people of his care.

Zhou Jiayi understands this feeling, just as she is touched by her parents' care and love for her, but also feels at a loss for many of their ideas.

So the gift she prepared for Lu Junyuan was a semi-DIY music box.

Wrapped in wrapping paper, and even carefully tied a bow, which is not the same as Zhou Jiayi's usual "rough" energy towards her own things, she handed the things to Lu Junyuan, thought about it, and reminded: "I made it myself, it's about the same as your silk apple, and the expectation value should not be too high." ”

She doesn't seem to care much about whether Lu Junyuan will like it, after all, in her opinion, her heart is enough to express her blessings, everyone's hobbies are different, if Lu Junyuan doesn't like such a girly thing, it is understandable to collect it as a gift. After all, birthday gifts between friends are not like asking someone to do something, but you have to figure out the recipient's thoughts.

Chinese tradition, gifts will never be opened in person, even if Lu Junyuan is very curious about what kind of thing is wrapped under the wrapping paper, he still held back, held the gift in one hand, led Lu Mingyuan in the other, and said: "Then you review well at home, I will go back first." ”

"Let's go, let's go, it's cold outside, I won't send it." Zhou Jiayi waved her hand, and didn't forget to call him, "When you go out, bring me the door by the way." ”

Lu Junyuan had already walked out of the door, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back to her and said, "Review well, I believe in you." ”

Who needs you to believe. Zhou Jiayi secretly sneered in her heart, she has now changed from a scumbag to a good student, and the top five in the class for three consecutive exams is not blown, although she can't be called a scholar, but it's not far from these two words. However, the encouragement from the top student in the high school entrance examination still made her very happy.

Lu Mingyuan glanced at the wrapped gift in Lu Junyuan's hand, then looked at the smile on the corner of his brother's mouth, and said dissatisfiedly: "The birthday gift I prepared for my brother must be better than hers, but it must be kept secret now, otherwise it will not be a surprise." ”

Lu Junyuan was in a good mood, rubbed his head with a smile, and said hello.

In fact, the little guy's gift needless to say he can guess, it is a painting every year, from the crooked brother's happy birthday and the portrait of the smeared so much that he can't see the human form, to the current sketches and paintings, I have to say that Lu Mingyuan is still quite talented at this point.

Wei Shan saw that the two brothers came back, but Zhou Jiayi didn't follow, so she couldn't help but be curious: "What, classmate Zhou doesn't want to come?" Did Mingyuan say something wrong again, Junyuan, don't be angry with your brother, he ......"

"No, she has exams and is studying at home, and I don't want to bother her." Lu Junyuan had a rare explanation, and said: "Xiao Er is very well-behaved and obedient these days, Auntie doesn't always have to worry about me being angry with him." ”

"That's good." Wei Shan smiled wryly, "What do you want to eat at noon, I'll make it for you." ”

Lu Junyuan is not a picky eater, he can say a word and flash into his room, the door is closed, leaving Lu Mingyuan alone outside scratching the door, he also wants to know what the neighbor's sister gave to his brother, will he compare his gift!

Lu Junyuan did not tear the wrapping paper directly, but first untied the top ribbon, and then carefully opened it along the folded traces, it was a wooden box that looked a little strange.

Zhou Jiayi said that this thing was made by herself, and it was not fake at all, and the paint sprayed on the outermost layer of the box was a little thick, which looked a little shoddy.

But after Lu Junyuan opened the wooden box, he was really shocked, there was a lifelike cartoon character placed inside, and it was not difficult to recognize that this was himself from the way he was dressed.

This is porridge porridge she made herself?

Zhou Jiayi didn't have many hobbies in her last life, novels counted as one, games counted as one, in order to present those novels and characters in games, she learned to pinch villains with clay without a teacher, and even earned a lot of extra money with this skill.

As the box was fully opened, a burst of simple and warm music came out, Zhou Jiayi did not have the ability to make her own music film, and the movement inside was removed from other music boxes.

Although Lu Junyuan doesn't usually pay attention to anime and doesn't have much interest in music, he can easily hear that this song is "Castle in the Sky".

Whether this song is intentional or unintentional, reminding him of some kind of Cheng dù, Lu Junyuan pursed his lips and smiled, closed the music box, and put it on his desk.

Lu Junyuan almost didn't celebrate his birthday on his birthday in previous years, but this year he has received a gift from Zhou Jiayi in advance, and he didn't take these things to heart, and whenever he had time, he either read a book or studied the code on the computer.

When he learned that Wei Shan had booked a private room for him at the Haoting Hotel, prepared a birthday celebration, and invited a few classmates from their class, Lu Junyuan didn't say anything although he felt a little troublesome and hindered the other party's good intentions.

On Saturday, Lu Junyuan put on the suit and dress that Wei Shan prepared for him, put on a down jacket outside, and helped Lu Mingyuan tidy it up, and the family went out.

Maybe it was the last time I happened in the hotel that was impressive, Lu Junyuan got out of the car, and was recognized by Xiao Hanlin's cousin, and the other party greeted him with a smile, "I didn't expect today's birthday star to be classmate Lu, I wish you a happy birthday, the box is ready, please inside." ”

"Thank you." Lu Junyuan nodded, and then looked back at Wei Shan, "Auntie, let's go." ”

Lu Mingyuan held his brother in one hand and his mother in the other, struggling, that little proud appearance, don't mention it!

Wei Shan is a careful and chic person, perhaps because she has studied abroad for a few years, and she also maintains the habit of entering this kind of party with invitations, and she even designed invitations specifically for this birthday party, no matter from any point of view, her stepmother has done a good job.

There are not many classmates invited to the birthday banquet, most of them are people who usually intersect with Lu Junyuan, such as the class cadres in the class, or the boys who live in the same dormitory with Lu Junyuan during military training.

"I thought that the famous brands on his body were pretending, but I didn't expect Lu Junyuan's family to be really rich, and to celebrate his birthday in a place like Haoting, tsk!"

"This invitation alone knows that it's unusual, don't you know, those girls in our class know that Lu Jun invited me for his birthday, and they can't wait to rush up and tear me up!"

"Actually, it's okay, Haoting's meals are not very expensive, we have a relative in our family, and just opening a bottle of wine for a meal will cost thousands."

It was a girl who spoke, wearing a slim-fitting woolen skirt that is not common in small towns, a cape jacket, a pair of calfskin boots, and even her hair was carefully groomed and dyed a brown that is inconspicuous in the schoolyard.

Among the plain face of the students, this girl was the only one who wore light makeup, and it could be seen that she attached great importance to this invitation.

"Look at this floor, it's very ordinary, the last time I went to the beach to play in the hotel, the floors of people are all waxed, and the cleaning aunts are all kneeling on the ground to wipe it, and the clean ones can show shadows." Looking at the envious eyes of the people around her, the girl couldn't help but raise her eyebrows proudly.

"Sun Yuemiao, what is the birthday gift you prepared for Lu Junyuan?" Another girl was worried: "I just bought a birthday card, wouldn't it be good?" ”

"Greeting cards are too shabby." Sun Yuemiao showed a disdainful expression, and lifted the paper bag in her hand, "I gave it Levi's belt!" ”

The brand stores in Jiangping County are pitiful, and most people have not even heard of Levi, but they can probably guess that it should be a brand of goods, so they all sighed at Sun Yuemiao's generosity.

Some classmates teased her, "Yo, the belts are all sent, the relationship is not ordinary!" ”

"Oh, don't talk nonsense." Sun Yuemiao blushed and laughed, and was surrounded by everyone and walked into the box.

On the other side, Xiao Jingjing sent Lu Junyuan and his party to the private room, returned to his office, and saw Xiao Hanlin nesting in the sofa playing with his mobile phone, and said helplessly: "On a good weekend, if you don't go to play with your classmates, what are you doing here?" ”

"The old man said I'd go to those fox friends again, and he would break my legs." Xiao Han didn't raise his head and said, "Didn't I come to you because I didn't have a place to go, otherwise I would have to listen to my mother's chatter at home." ”

"Auntie is also for your good." Xiao Jingjing said, "You, you have to pick up some good friends to make friends, you look at your classmate surnamed Lu last time, this time the birthday invitation is all the class cadres of their class, these people are good learners, they are all seedlings of a book, and they may be able to use it when they make friends, you classmate, you are quite shrewd." ”
