Chapter 18: Gifts and Celebrations

"Where to celebrate?" Lin Hai drove the car and did not forget to ask Gao Jingen, the co-pilot.

"I'm not familiar with City A, where do you think it's more suitable for four people to gather and celebrate?" Gao Jingen said bluntly.

"Everyone's tastes are different, so why don't you go to the buffet?" Lin Hai suggested.

"Okay, where is the address, I'll send it to Liu Xia." Gao Jingen opens WeChat's dialog box.

Lin Hai smiled and said, "What address to send, it's better to go directly to the bookstore to pick her up." ”

"It's fine." Gao Jingen agreed: "Let's go to the mall first, Liu Xia is promoted, I want to buy a gift for Liu Xia." ”

"No problem." Taking advantage of the green light, Lin Hai added a foot of gas, and the black car roared past.

In the bookstore, Liu Xia took off his apron and prepared to leave work after a short meeting and arranged the work precautions for employees.

"Hey, Xia Xia, I'm not too late." The glass door of the bookstore was pushed open, and Li Xue, who was wearing a white dress, broke in.

"It's not late, I just got off work, let's go to the mall first, yesterday I went to the mall with Jing En, and I saw a lipstick, the color is especially suitable for you." Liu Xia picked up his backpack and walked towards Li Xue.

"Hahahaha, huh? Walking. The two walked out of the bookstore one after the other, talking and laughing.

In the huge shopping mall, there are not many shoppers.

Gao Jingen was in the brand's makeup counter, choosing lipstick for Liu Xia, Lin Hai on the side put one hand in his trouser pocket, looked at the shopping guide curiously, and recommended the lipstick number to Gao Jingen: "Now this color has the highest sales, and it is the most suitable for giving girlfriends, especially suitable for dating." ”

Gao Jingen couldn't tell the difference between the color differences between lipsticks. Gao Jingen thought to herself: If the sales are high, the girls should like it. The thought of being suitable for his girlfriend made him blush a little. Then he replied: "Then it, please help me wrap it." ”

Lin Hai looked at Gao Jing's blushing appearance, and felt a little funny: "Are you being molested by a beautiful shopping guide?" Why is your face so red? ”

"Ahem~ I'll pay." Lin Hai's words, embarrassed Gao Jingen was at a loss, and hurriedly fled from Lin Hai's jokes.

Lin Hai still stuck one hand in his trouser pocket, standing in the lipstick area, holding the lipstick in one hand and sniffing it under his nose.

"Here, here." Liu Xia pulled Li Xue into the makeup counter.

Lin Hai listened to the voice and looked back, he knew Liu Xia, but Liu Xia didn't know him.

Over the years, it has been Lin Hai's emotional path for Gao Jingen, silently clearing many obstacles.

"Hello ladies, what do you need?" I can introduce you to it. With an official smile, the shopping guide came to greet customers.

"No, no, the two of us will see for ourselves, thank you." Liu Xia declined the kindness of the shopping guide, then took Li Xue's arm and walked towards Lin Hai.

Lin Hai was attracted by Li Xuexian's quiet and elegant temperament, and couldn't take his eyes off it for a while.

"Hey?! Hi?! Mr? Liu Xia stepped forward and raised his eyebrows, opened his five fingers, and shook it in front of Lin Hai: "Can I let it be?" ”

Liu Xia tried Lin Hai to give up some positions so that he could choose lipstick with Li Xue.

"Uh, I'm sorry." Lin Hai reacted slowly, and let go to the side: "You are Liu Xia, right?" ”

Liu Xia was puzzled and responded, "Huh? ”

I thought to myself: What's going on today? I've just been promoted, so I won't have another peach blossom luck, right? The man in front of me is quite handsome, and he took the initiative to talk to me, hehehehe~

"Ugh! Hello, I am Gao Jingen's comrade-in-arms, and I have seen your photos. Lin Hai explained, and gentlemanly stretched out his hand to Liu Xia.

"Huh? Oh...... Forest... Mr? I've heard Jing En talk about you. Liu Xia also smiled politely and shook hands with Lin Hai.

"Just call me Lin Hai. Who is this? Lin Hai responded to Liu Xia, but his eyes unconsciously looked at Li Xue.

"Oh, this is my best friend, Li Xue." Liu Xia introduced Li Xue with Lin Hai.

Li Xue smiled slightly. This smile made Lin Hai's heart feel refreshed.

"It's a shade that's supernatural, and it's the perfect fit for your elegant personality." Liu Xia picked up a lipstick and said in surprise, the cheerful voice pulled Lin Hai back from fantasy to reality.

Li Xue took it and tried it and said, "It's really good-looking, then I'll pay for it, and you can talk first." ”

Looking at Li Xue's appearance of trying lipstick, Lin Hai's heartbeat was chaotic.

"No, no, no, in order to thank you for helping me find a suitable house, this lipstick, I will give it to you, I will pay for it, you wait for me here." Liu Xia was afraid that Li Xue would refuse, so he rushed to the shopping guide with lipstick and asked for a receipt.

"What is the relationship between the two of us, there is no need to be like this, you just moved the family and there are still a lot of places to make money......" Li Xue followed Liu Xiasheng and said refusal.

"Don't be polite to me, I'll go to your house to eat a few more meals when I go back, and I'll eat back." Liu Xia laughed and teased Li Xue.

"Haha~ Okay then~ Thank you, I'm waiting for you here." Li Xue watched Liu Xia walk out of the counter, and after nodding to Lin Hai, she said

I sat on the sofa in the counter and read a beauty magazine.

Lin Hai also took the opportunity to sit next to Li Xue: "You and Liu Xia have a really good relationship." ”

The skill of accosting people like this is really not smart enough, but Lin Hai can't think of anything else for a while.

"Hmm... She's nice and worth associating. Li Xue smiled, and her tone was full of alienation from Lin Hai.

Just when the two of them didn't know what to say, Gao Jingen walked in with a bouquet of flowers.

"Hey, Jingen, why have you been around for so long?" Lin Hai got up, Li Xue looked at Gao Jingen, and also got up politely.

"I just saw a shop selling flowers, so I bought a bouquet and wanted to give it to Liu Xia later." Gao Jingen replied to Lin Hai's words and looked at Li Xue: "Teacher Li? ”

"You know?" Lin Hai was a little surprised.

"Huh? Do you know me? Li Xue was surprised.

"Oh, no, I saw a photo of the two of you in Liu Xia's circle of friends." Gao Jingen explained.

At this time, Liu Xia also walked in with the slip.

"Jing Eun? Why are you here too? Liu Xia's surprised eyes were full of smiles.

The moment Gao Jingen saw Liu Xia, his eyes lit up.

Lin Hai smiled and said, "I'll discuss with Jing En, and I'll pick you up at the bookstore later." I didn't expect a few of us to be so clever that we met here. ”

"Haha, yes, but Jing'en, what are you doing here? Is it to accompany Mr. Lin to buy lipstick for his girlfriend? Liu Xia asked curiously.

"No, I'm single, I accompanied Jing En to buy lipstick, and he said he was going to give you a promotion gift." Lin Hai was afraid that Li Xue would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.

"You're promoted? You didn't tell me? I didn't even prepare a gift for you......" Li Xue listened to Lin Hai's words, turned her head and asked Liu Xia.

"Ahaha~ I forgot, I just cared about moving to a new house." Yes, Liu Xia only shared the joy of promotion with Gao Jingen, which is a bit of a forgetfulness of friends.

After receiving the settlement documents, the shopping guide gave the lipsticks to Gao Jingen and Liu Xia respectively.

"For you, the shopping guide said that this color number has the highest sales, and I think you should like it too. Belch... And flowers, I wish you a bright future. ”

Gao Jingen finished the whole paragraph nervously.

Lin Hai looked at Gao Jingen's embarrassed appearance, and seemed to be smiling.

"The manager of the bookstore, what future can there be?" Liu Xia has always been direct, and said with a smile: "The lipstick and flowers are good, thank you." ”

Gao Jingen looked at Liu Xia and smiled, and he laughed too.

"Teacher Li, yours." Liu Xia handed the lipstick to Li Xue, and Li Xue smiled and said thank you.

"Sensei is polite to me, wait for my sister to be rich, here, here, you can choose whatever you want, no ambiguity." Liu Xia waved his hand and pointed to the cosmetics in the counter with a posture.

Gao Jingen, Li Xue and Lin Hai, the three of them were amused by Liu Xia and laughed together.

Autumn nights always come earlier than summer, and the four of them went out of the mall, just in time for the lights to come on.

Lin Haixuan's high-end buffet restaurant is located in the commercial street in the center of the city, and there are naturally many diners in the bustling area, but the environment is relatively quiet, and the waiter's attitude is also very humble.

In the elegant restaurant, the four of them raised a glass to celebrate Liu Xia's promotion.

"What else do you want to eat? I'm going to get it? Gao Jingen asked Lin Hai and Li Xue again, but the main question was Liu Xia.

"Seafood." Lin Hai and Li Xue replied almost at the same time, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Woo~ I'll go with you." Liu Xia swallowed the food in his mouth and followed behind Gao Jingen as he spoke.

"Can't you just pay attention to what you eat?" Gao Jingen looked disgusted.

"We're all friends, what's there to pay attention to. Patronizing and paying attention to the image, I can't eat enough. Liu Xia pouted.

Li Xue cut the steak and asked softly, "Does Mr. Gao like Xia Xia?" ”

"Huh? Do you see that? Lin Hai's words made Li Xue a little sure.

"I'm afraid, only Xia Xia can't see it, if she likes someone, she can't hide her eyes." Li Xue took a sip of juice and smiled slightly.

"The authorities are confused, then look at my eyes." Lin Hai said and leaned in front of Li Xue.

Li Xue's face suddenly turned red, and she said in a panic: "Uh...... I'm sorry, but I have a boyfriend. ”

"Hahahaha, I'll tease you." Lin Hai smiled and felt sad for a while. still pretended to be nothing, but in his heart he was so annoyed that he peeled the last shrimp on the plate, originally wanted to peel it for Li Xue, but finally stuffed it into his mouth.

The dinner party was about to end, Li Xue excused herself to go to the bathroom, and wanted to buy the bill, and the moment she saw the bill, she was startled, eight hundred yuan per person, yes, this is a meal of three thousand two hundred yuan.

"I'll do it." Lin Hai's voice appeared behind Li Xue.

"Uh, no... No need, Xia Xia was promoted, I didn't prepare a gift for Xia Xia, so I'll invite this meal. Li Xue refused Lin Hai and took out her wallet from her bag.

"You don't know about her promotion, and I haven't prepared a gift, I'll come to this meal, with the relationship between the two of you, you can just give her a gift later." As Lin Hai spoke, he had already handed the card to the waiter. and took Li Xue's hand holding the card and slowly blocked it.

"These two people like to eat the same food, and they go to the toilet at the same time, which is quite appropriate." Gao Jingen sent a sushi to his mouth.

"Cher has a boyfriend, but...... Hmm......" When the words came to his lips, Liu Xia saw Li Xue and Lin Hai coming over, so he swallowed the words back, took a sip of the juice, and Gao Jingen didn't ask much.

"Have you two eaten yet?" Li Xue asked with a gentle smile.

"I'll pay for it." Liu Xia stood up from his seat.

"I'd better go, come out with my brother, and you won't be able to spend money." Gao Jingen pressed Liu Xia's shoulder and asked her to sit down.

Lin Hai rolled his eyes and gave Gao Jingen: "You two are enough, the order has already been bought." ”

"Then I'll turn back to you." Gao Jingen and Liu Xia said this almost at the same time.

"No, let Gao Jingen pay for it." Lin Hai hooked the corners of his lips at Gao Jingen.

"Thanks to Your Excellency, I will live up to expectations." Gao Jingen responded jokingly.
