Chapter 24: Merry Christmas!

Lin Zhi also reported the newly chosen band name to He Lichuan, the president of the music club, and He Lichuan nodded and praised, "You are really good enough for the second second." ”

"I love the name, though!"

After receiving the president's affirmation, Lin Zhiyi excitedly made a name tag for the band by himself, and hung this name tag outside the door during rehearsals.

When a passing student heard the music, they knew it was the Hot Wheels rehearsal.

Such happy times always fly by, and without a few songs, Christmas is coming, and after that, the new year is coming.

As a festival imported from abroad, Christmas has even beaten many traditional festivals. Huge Christmas trees have been erected in the large shopping malls of Pearl City, covered with stars, bells and red socks.

December 23rd, the day before Christmas Eve, happens to be Sunday. After practicing the piano at home for 5 hours, Lin Zhiyi sneaked to a new shopping mall in Zhucheng. This mall is an upgraded version of the former large department stores, and you can buy brands in big cities, except for the top international brands.

Lin Zhi also wanted to buy a gift for each member of the band, and in order to thank them, he was willing to join Hot Wheels. Of course, there are also his selfish intentions, if he gives Qian Wenwen a gift alone on this holiday, wouldn't it be a declaration to the world that he likes Qian Wenwen.

At Lin Zhiyi's age, it is normal to have a girl you like. When he was in junior high school, Hu Haoran took him to watch some films that could only be shown to adults, and at that time he only felt that he was hot all over, and a certain part of his body was about to get out of control. It's instinct.

However, for Qian Wenwen, he only occasionally has this urge. But he wanted more to see her happy. This simple happiness can satisfy him.

Lin Zhiyi is also very clear about his future plans, if the band can continue to go, he will confess to Qian Wenwen when he can afford a family. If his parents still wanted him to take a judge's daughter, he would split up with them.

So whether you want to realize your dreams or be with someone you like, making yourself strong and having enough financial strength is the foundation of all this.

Of course, these are all later words for Lin Zhiyi now.

He was dazzled by the gifts in the mall, and after picking out some ordinary gifts for the other members of the band, Lin Zhiyi also came to the jewelry store to give Qian Wenwen a necklace.

Because of the recent formation of the band, Mr. Lin canceled Lin Zhiyi's credit card. Now Lin Zhiyi is shopping, using all the money he has saved for the New Year. The budget for buying a necklace for Qian Wenwen has also been compressed to less than 5K.

Lin Zhiyi, who was wearing casual clothes, looked more mature than his actual age, and when the clerk saw him walking into the store, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Handsome guy, are you buying a gift for your girlfriend?"

was suddenly seen through by others, and Lin Zhiyi suddenly blushed. He replied with a forced composure, "Yes." ”

"Then look at this, it is the latest Christmas-themed necklace on the market this year, the chain is 18K colored gold, and the pendant is made of broken diamonds."

The clerk took out the necklace from the glass counter and put it on his white hand, under the light of the special lights in the store, the necklace as a whole emitted dazzling brilliance, especially the small diamonds on the pendant, shooting dazzling light from different angles, Lin Zhi could only squint his eyes, and the more he looked, the more fascinated he became.

"How much does this cost?" It took a long time for him to react and ask for the price.

"The original price was fifteen thousand, and now it is discounted for Christmas at twelve thousand." The clerk said lightly that she had already seen from Lin Zhiyi's dress that this was a rich kid, and naturally the price was quoted according to the upper limit within her authority.

"Wow." The price is far beyond the budget, and Lin Zhiyi said bluntly, "Is there a cheaper one?" My budget is probably around 5,000. ”

The clerk put away the joy on his face and led Lin Zhiyi to the other side of the glass counter, where there were no diamonds on the necklace, and the shape looked ordinary and more cute than the previous one.

"If you were a girl, which one would you like?" Lin Zhi also asked sincerely. But the clerk lost the enthusiasm just now, and said lukewarmly, "Wouldn't you know if you asked your girlfriend?" If you don't like it, we won't return it. ”

Lin Zhiyi felt that although her attitude was a little stronger, what she said still made some sense.

He opened the address book on his mobile phone and found that there were only four female contacts in it: Mom, Aunt Deng, Qian Wenwen, and Yuan Shanshan.

The first two people don't have to think about it anymore, if they ask Qian Wenwen directly, they will lose the surprise when giving gifts. Only Yuan Shanshan remains, but with Yuan Shanshan's taste......

After struggling for a long time, Lin Zhiyi still dialed the FACE TIME of Yuan Shanshan's mobile phone number. This is the video calling feature that comes with the Apple phone.

Yuan Shanshan was preparing for the night market of the food stalls, and hurriedly pressed the answer, and flipped the fuselage back and forth several times before he saw Lin Zhiyi in the upper right corner of the screen.

"Squad leader, why did you suddenly video with me!"

"Yuan Shanshan, I'm buying a gift for Qian Wenwen, you can help me see which necklace is good-looking."

Lin Zhi also pointed his mobile phone camera at the glass counter.

Yuan Shanshan was speechless when he saw so many lovely necklaces at once. There are no girls who can not be impressed by gold and silver jewelry.

"It's all good-looking, squad leader!"

"Do you like this?" Lin Zhi also pointed to the items in the glass cabinet and asked one by one.

Yuan Shanshan liked almost every necklace, but when Lin Zhi also pointed out a necklace with an apple made of rubies, Yuan Shanshan frowned.

"Squad leader, this is too simple."

"You don't like it?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

"I don't like it."

"Okay, thanks." After speaking, Lin Zhiyi turned off Facetime, turned to the clerk and said, "Hello, please wrap this apple necklace for me!" ”

After rehearsals on Monday, Lin Zhiyi gave the members of the band a set of Lego toys for Zeppelin, a new pair of drumsticks for Chubby, and a new pair of headphones for Yuan Shanshan.

When Yuan Shanshan opened the gift package, he was slightly disappointed. Even if Lin Zhiyi said that it was a gift to Qian Wenwen when he asked her for her opinion at that time, what if it was just an excuse for duplicity. But when she saw that Qian Wenwen's gift was the apple necklace, she was puzzled? Why send the ugliest one.

"Squad leader, you're too partial. Why is Qian Wenwen's gift so valuable. Zeppelin was the first to express his displeasure.

"No, it's about the same price." Lin Zhi also lied.

"So I'm a fake?" Qian Wenwen joked that when she was a child, she saw a lot of her mother's jewelry, and she naturally knew what was real and fake. It's just Lin Zhiyi's taste, a little strange? Is this what straight men like?

Lin Zhi didn't answer, just looked at Qian Wenwen with sincere eyes.

At that moment, Qian Wenwen seemed to understand Lin Zhiyi's mind. Coquettishly turned her head.

Zeppelin watched the silent interaction between the two of them, and felt a sour feeling in his heart. But soon he cheered up again, and as long as they hadn't formalized their relationship for a day, there was hope for themselves. He hated himself for not thinking about how he thought of buying a gift for Qian Wenwen earlier.

Yuan Shanshan held his new earphones, and the sound quality was really stronger than the original one. At least I can hear the sounds of the various bass instruments clearly. She finally understood that the project would not belong to her, and she didn't even have one in ten thousand hopes, but Lin Zhi could also think about herself, and she still felt very satisfied.

Chubby took out a lot of apples from his bag and divided one for each person, "Christmas Eve should be safe." ”

"Wow, you fat guy has such a heart." Although it is only a small apple, the meaning is still very far-reaching. After Lin Zhiyi received the return gift, he was also very grateful.

"I'm prepared, too." Qian Wenwen said, and took out a few colorful glass bottles from her bag, which were filled with colorful five-pointed stars. It took her a weekend to stack it. "Each star has a blessing written by me, you can't take it apart to see it, it won't work if you take it apart."

She distributed the palm-sized glass bottle to everyone, and when she gave it to Lin Zhiyi, she deliberately stayed in his hand for a while. There was a special big star hidden in his glass bottle, which was not found in other glass bottles, and it was full of what Qian Wenwen wanted to say to Lin Zhiyi, but she didn't want him to see it so early.

"Thank you." At this moment, Lin Zhiyi was holding a glass bottle, and the stars in it were more precious than gold.

"Now, isn't it just me and Yuan Shanshan who haven't prepared gifts for everyone?" Zeppelin said in surprise. Everyone understands Yuan Shanshan's situation, and they won't blame her even if there is no gift. But, looking at the eyes of Xiaopang, the squad leader, and the goddess, his face had been pressed to the ground and rubbed.

"Ahh I'm going to buy it! Zeppelin rushed out of the schoolyard.

"I, in fact, have prepared gifts for everyone!" Yuan Shanshan lowered her head and said, but her gifts were really much more ordinary than other people's.

"This is my own handwritten greeting card." She used her sister's colored pencil to write Merry Christmas on a red card, plus a variety of fun Christmas themed cartoon looks.

Yuan Shanshan handed the greeting cards to everyone one by one, "Zeppelin's will be given tomorrow." ”

She is ready to be complained about by everyone, what age is it, and she is still an old-fashioned thing like a greeting card. That's something that only elementary school students like. Maybe elementary school students won't be able to send greeting cards.

"Wow, that's pretty!" Chubby said happily, "Yuan Shanshan, I didn't expect you to draw well!" ”

"Unexpectedly, I discovered another hidden skill of yours." Lin Zhi also agreed.

"Thank you. I love it. Qian Wenwen solemnly folded the greeting card and put it in her schoolbag along with the necklace and apples.

Yuan Shanshan didn't feel it herself, her eyes were already wet, and she didn't know what to say, "Thank you, Merry Christmas!" She felt that there was warmth in this group that she had never had.

"Merry Christmas!" Everyone happily blessed together. Whether it is a traditional festival or an imported festival, the mood and heart of the festival, and the happiness that arises from it, is the most important thing.
