Chapter 22: Gifts and Gifts
"I can't accept such a valuable gift."
"Chu Ning, this is what Yuhan specially brought back from Shanghai to give you, and it's not precious, you might as well accept it!" Lin Yuhao also spoke.
"Brother Yuhao—" Chu Ning turned his head to look at Lin Yuhao, and said authentically.
"You see my brother has spoken, this bracelet was selected by me after running many stores in Shanghai, if you don't accept it, won't my hard work of delaying my return for two days be in vain? Otherwise I'd be very sad! Lin Yuhan immediately pretended to be pitiful.
"Then --, keep it with me first!" Chu Ning wanted to refuse politely, but when she heard Lin Yuhan say this, her heart softened, and she was embarrassed to refuse again.
According to the habits of previous years, Chu Ning should go to Lin's house with the brothers to congratulate Lin Jinwen on the New Year, but because of the gift, her mood was a little low, so she only said that she would go to visit Lin Jinwen later. After they left, Chu Ning took Lin Yuhan's gift box back to the room.
Wrapped her whole body in the quilt, she looked at the photo in her hand for a long time, in the photo she stood alone in the front row, and the Lin brothers stood behind her, only she and Lin Yuhan smiled brightly, but Lin Yuhao looked unhappy.
She remembered that this was a group photo of Lin Yuhao when he was just admitted to a prestigious university in the north and returned to Y City during the summer vacation. At that time, a small crew came to the Han River to shoot the scene, and when the photographers saw the three of us appear on the Han River one day, they asked to take a group photo of us.
She remembered that the three of them were a little stunned at that time, Lin Yuhao had already refused, but she couldn't resist the curiosity of me and Lin Yuhan, so she pulled him together. A day later, the photo was washed out, one for the three of us, looking at the photo Lin Yuhan and I laughed heartlessly and brightly, Lin Yuhao was a little awkward because of some emotional resistance, so he looked at the camera a little awkwardly, but the effect of the shot was particularly unruly, but Lin Yuhao looked more handsome.
At that time, she and Yuhan both graduated from junior high school, and their height was not as tall as Lin Yuhao's style of standing out from the crowd, originally her height was already tall among her peers, but as soon as she stood in front of the two brothers, she was ashamed of herself, Lin Yuhan's body was still in the early stage of development, although she was half a head shorter than Lin Yuhao, but she was a head taller than her, so there was a little incongruity in the perspective of the photo, but I still have to thank the photographers, they rarely let me see Lin Yuhao's other expression.
That once-in-a-century icicle, she really wanted to see if his heart was also cold.
When Ye Mei came to her daughter's room, what she saw was the scene of her daughter covering herself tightly.
"What's wrong with Chu Ning--,? Is it uncomfortable? Ye Mei stepped forward and stroked Chu Ning's forehead, and wiped her forehead, but she didn't find anything abnormal about her daughter.
"Mom--, why don't you come in and knock on the door?" When Chu Ning saw her mother, she quickly put the photo under the pillow and got out of the quilt again.
"Mom knocked, didn't you hear me?" Ye Mei was stunned.
"Oh--, I guess I didn't hear it, Mom, are you done?" Chu Ning said in a bit of a panic.
"I'm just done, Chu Ning, why don't you go over with the Yuhan brothers to give you Aunt Lin's New Year's greetings? Isn't this etiquette learned a long time ago? Ye Mei sat down on the edge of the bed, stroked her daughter's hair and asked.
"Mom, I'm sorry! I thought that my father had already been there, and I would go later, Aunt Lin shouldn't mind, right? ”
"Your Aunt Lin naturally doesn't care, but good daughter, today is the New Year, didn't you look forward to the New Year the most when you were a child? Why are you so listless today? ”
"Mom, when Brother Yuhan gave me the bracelet just now, you heard it too."
"Hmmm! Mom hears it, what's wrong with that? ”
"When Brother Yu Han usually gives me some food and play, I will gladly accept it, but this time he gave me such an expensive gift, which made me feel a little pressure."
"Chu Ning, you two are now big children, you don't have to be as conservative as your parents were back then, the important thing is not how valuable the gift he gave you, what is rare is his heart for you."
"Mom, where did you go? Although our two families have never separated from each other, I can't accept such a valuable gift from him for no reason. ”
"Child, can't you still see Yu Han's thoughts about you?" Ye Mei sighed and said seriously.
"It is precisely because he has such thoughts about me that I can't accept his gifts casually, which will lead to his misunderstanding. I'm only keeping this bracelet for him temporarily, and I'll return it to him when the time is right. ”
Ye Mei looked at her daughter in surprise, she had always thought that her daughter and Yu Han, this child, was it really just wishful thinking as Tianxing said?
"Yu Han, this kid is smart and filial, and the most important thing is to be single-minded with you, isn't there anything you are dissatisfied with him?" Ye Mei asked tentatively again.
"Mom, why do you think so? Wouldn't it be nice for me and him to get along with him as we were when we were children? Besides, I don't have the same feelings for him as men and women, and I only have that kind of intuitive family-like care for him. For example, when he is sick, I hope that he will get better soon. For example, if he fights with the children in the village, I hope he will not be punished by Aunt Lin; For example, when he went to Shanghai to study, I hope he will return safely. Just like you and Daddy cared for him, there were no impurities. ”
"Maybe it's my mother's too anxious, but no matter what, you can have your own thoughts, and my mother is also very pleased, so let's talk about this later!" Ye Mei sighed.
"Mom, I don't know what will happen in the future, but at least I think I'm still young now, so what about personal feelings! I want to put it aside for a while and just finish my studies, but do you think I'm right to do that? Chu Ning hugged Ye Mei's neck and said coquettishly.
"Of course, our daughter has indeed grown up and knows how to analyze things and sort things out, and my mother is really happy for you."
"Mom, thank you! But in the face of such Brother Yu Han, I don't know what to do? ”
"If Yuhan mentions emotional matters with you, you can explain your thoughts to him tactfully, he is a cheerful child, I don't think he will mind."
"Hmm!" Chu Ning responded to Ye Mei casually, she was not worried about how sad Lin Yuhan would be, such a sunny boy, there would be many girls who would like him in the future. But the man who would wrap his heart around her every move, if he knew about today's incident, what would he think?
"That's right! When Yu Hao was leaving, he said, "Tell me this is for you." Ye Mei took out a box and handed it to Chu Ning.
"Mom, what is this?" Chu Ning took the box.
"I don't know very well, it was Yu Hao who insisted on giving it to me when he left, he said that you need this now, why don't you take it apart and see it yourself! I still have to go to the kitchen, so I'll go down first. Ye Mei said.
Chu Ning opened the box with curiosity, and a light gray all-cashmere scarf with a diamond-shaped lattice came into view.
"Wow! It's beautiful! So soft! Chu Ning picked up the scarf and rubbed it on his face, and couldn't put it down.
She picked up the scarf from the box and put it around her neck casually, looked back and forth in the mirror, quite satisfied, and was about to put it back in the box, when she found that there was a small note left by Lin Yuhao at the bottom of the box.
'After taking a look, I still think this is the most suitable for you, although the color is a little mature, but the emphasis is on versatility, I hope this winter, after you wear it, you will no longer feel cold......
'Brother Yuhao, you don't usually like to give me gifts, but now it's good, you can give such a valuable one as soon as you give it, and I can't put it down. ’
Chu Ning felt that he should thank the owner who gave the gift, but he hesitated in his heart for a long time, and finally made up his mind to pull out the number that he had read countless times in his heart.
"I'm Yu Hao." The phone was quickly connected, and Lin Yuhao's cold voice came from inside.
"Brother Yuhao, it's me." Chu Ning said softly.
"I know."
"I --, I received the scarf you gave me."
"Hmmm! Do you still like the style? Lin Yuhao's chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
"I like it, but I think it's a little precious, and--" Chu Ning hesitated, trying to express his worries. After all, the two brothers gave New Year's gifts, but they were treated very differently.
"It's not too expensive, it's a new style launched by our company, and it's much cheaper to buy internally, as for Yuhan, you don't have to worry, I'll explain it to him." Lin Yuhao took Chu Ning's words in time and said thoughtfully.
"I'm --, but Brother Yuhao, why did you suddenly remember to give me a scarf?"
"Hmm! Who made you, a native of the north, have such a 'difficult' winter every year? Lin Yuhao teased on the phone.
"Aren't I just colder than normal people? Is Brother Yu Hao making fun of me like this? Chu Ning couldn't cry or laugh a little, it wasn't a big deal that she was particularly afraid of the cold, but the two brothers always used this to write her, but at this moment, her heart was as bright as a blooming flower, and she really didn't care.
"Fool, of course I'm not making fun of you, when I went to Wuyang to pick you up earlier, I saw that your lips were purple from freezing at the school gate, so I was thinking about what to send that was practical and would not be returned by you. expected that Lin Yuhao on the other end of the phone was in a rare good mood, and he said so many words at one time.
"Thank you--, Brother Yuhao."
"If you really want to thank you, then you can also choose a gift to give back to me!" For Chu Ning's thanks, Lin Yuhao is quite useful.
