CHAPTER XXXIII
Jiang Qu came home and fiddled with the globe on the table, it gurgled and turned, and the smiling faces on it were not only silly but also a little miserable.
Li Mingyue was really obsessed with him at that time, buying breakfast, giving drinks, sending aromatherapy and birthday gifts, it can be said that it was all-round, but he, Jiang Qu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, yes, 'gift'. Just as she always gave unexpected and meaningful gifts at that time, he should also launch this gift-giving offensive.
"What should I give?" Jiang Qu wanted Wu Chen to give him some advice, because it was about to be Li Mingyue's birthday, and he wanted to take the opportunity to perform well.
"Then it's best to have something that is not conventional, but also relatively high-grade and particularly commemorative."
After he reminded him of this, Jiang Qu Mao suddenly opened and thought of something.
Li Mingyue's birthday was a very cold day in mid-November, Jiang Qu held a very delicately packaged huge box, and Wu Chen went to her house, his eyes inadvertently swept to the sycamore cypress willows that had lost their leaves, they stood on both sides of the street bare, silently and enviously looking down at the people in a hurry. Not far at his feet, two birds were parked and drove out from under the wheels by the cold, and jumped over the wall and onto the wires, chirping for a while and then flying to an unknown place outside the wall.
Just walked for ten minutes on the solemn and somewhat blandly street to arrive at the community of Li Mingyue's house.
went upstairs and entered the door, and saw that Li Mingyue had already brought the birthday crown, she was sitting around the table with Song Zhiyi and others chatting with melon seeds, and was a little surprised to see him come in with Wu Chen, "Jiangqu?" How did you get here".
Although her reaction was a bit rude to be abrupt, after all, she said something very decisive to him that day, and she thought he would give up, but now it seems that this guy is unexpectedly persistent.
"I, I'm here to ......" Jiang Qu was a little at a loss, he was indeed uninvited, and he was inevitably restrained.
Wu Chen grabbed his shoulders and winked at him, but his words were said to Li Mingyue, "Hey, senior sister, celebrate your birthday, it's lively when there are more people." ”
Li Mingyue didn't say anything more and let them into the house.
She was dressed up very delicately today, wearing a cashmere dress with red fungus, with rabbit-shaped pompoms hanging from the sleeves and collar, lining her whole person slender and smart and playful.
Everyone presented her with the gifts they had prepared.
Song Zhiyi gave her an omelette pillow.
"Hey, the pillow has so many kawaii patterns, what kind of cartoon of small animals, why did you give me an omelette?"
"Don't you love omelettes? You can eat five or six in one meal," she gestured with her hand.
Jiang Qu glanced at Li Mingyue and remembered her previous failed cooking experience, but fortunately she didn't know that the fried egg she ate was not very clean. But when I think about it, she's usually quite informal, so I guess she won't care even if she knows, right?
"Now, I sent you a string of wind chimes in the shape of a little angel, which should awaken the girl's heart under your fierce appearance, right?" Gu Nanfeng shook the wind chime slightly, and it jingled the bell with a crisp sound, and the little angel swung in a circle, cute and pleasing, and the bright moon was really rare.
He Hua is the most straightforward, she raised her neck at her, "I directly sent you a red envelope of 100 yuan, you can buy whatever you want"
Li Mingyue squinted her eyes, "Simple and direct, I like it"
As for Wu Chen, it's a bit difficult to explain.
He took out a stack of books from his school bag, laughed and said, "I am definitely the most valuable and worthwhile gift", he patted the gray stack of books, "Look, sprint the college entrance examination three-in-one teacher to guide the devil's workbook, make sure you can shed tears, forget to sleep and eat."
Song Zhiyi took a look and wondered, "How do you look at this, it's still an old book."
"Ah, yes, this is what I got from my cousin, who worked hard to make ends meet."
"Then may I ask, your cousin, who is working hard to strengthen the glory of the ancestors, relying on it, which university have you been admitted to?"
"Uh, Shandong Lanxiang Electric Welding Class, hehe. That guy, as soon as he started work, sparks were flying, was it glorious? ”
Everyone laughed, Song Zhiyi gave him a thumbs up, "Awesome", and reminded Li Mingyue, "You have to make good use of it"
Gu Nanfeng looked at the big box in Jiang Qu's hand and asked him, "Senior Brother Jiang, what are you?" ”
As soon as he asked, everyone's attention was focused on the big box.
Jiang Qu smiled gently, put the box on the table, but did not open it, and did not clearly explain what it was, he told Li Mingyue mysteriously, "This is a very special thing, it is specially ordered by me, something that makes you surprised and amazed as soon as you see it." ”
As soon as he said this, Li Mingyue became even more curious, but he specially told her to wait until there was no one before dismantling it, so she had to suppress her curiosity.
Everyone chatted casually for a while, Li Mingyue's parents brought the cake up, everyone helped her put the candles, she put her hands together and made a wish, and then beckoned everyone to blow out the candles together.
Everyone exhaled together, and instantly blew out a circle of candles, except for the one in the middle, which burned tenaciously.
The rest of the people had already raised their heads at this time, only the birthday star Li Mingyue and the river canal on the opposite side were still competing with this candle, they were definitely not negotiable, but the rhythm was unusual. They took a big breath and blew hard at the same time.
Then, under the action of these two strong winds, the candle was finally extinguished. And Li Mingyue was blinded by Jiang Qu's breath.
She squinted one eye tightly, and glanced at Jiang Qu like a one-eyed dragon, her expression was very helpless.
Jiang Qu covered his mouth apologetically and looked at Li Mingyue in apologetic and surprised to rub and blink hard, and it took a long time to return to normal and open that eye.
Song Zhiyi, who saw this scene in her eyes, muttered silently in her heart, this Jiangqu usually looks quite stable, why is he always so frizzy when facing Li Mingyue recently, she suspects that he is deliberate.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Wu Chen opened his mouth and asked Li Mingyue, "Senior sister, what wish did you make just now?" ”
"I hope to succeed in my studies and get into a good university"
"No, that's it?"
"Well, that's my birthday wish"
Song Zhiyi shouted very blindly, "No, what about love, you don't want sweet love?" He looked at Jiang Qu, who looked lonely, and added, "There is no Senior Brother Jiang in your wish?" ”
Li Mingyue and Jiang Qu turned their heads to look at her, and then glanced at each other, but no one spoke, the atmosphere became a little awkward, Gu Nanfeng bumped into Song Zhiyi, Song Zhiyi finally noticed this subtle weirdness, and then said haha, "Oh, what, I mean, we will take the college entrance examination in half a year, and then go to college, and when you meet the excellent boy you like, you still have to talk about a sweet love?" ”
It's okay for her not to say this, but when she talks about Jiang Qu and Li Mingyue's expressions, they are even more subtle.
Although Wu Chen hurriedly played a round game, urging to cut the cake and eat the cake.
But this awkward and embarrassing atmosphere did not completely subside, especially Jiang Qu, until he came out of her house after Li Mingyue's birthday, his melancholy and boredom were still haunting in his heart.
