Chapter 9 Gifts
Xia Zhi suddenly remembered something, got up and entered the inner bedroom. When he came out, he held a blue-purple delicate locket in his hand and handed it to Miyang: "This is what I bought when I went to Europe on a business trip to Europe a few years ago and passed through Switzerland, and I am worried that I don't know how to give it to you." ”
Mi Yang hesitantly stretched out his hand and took the box: "Did you give it to me?" ”
Xia Zhi nodded: "Open it and see if you like it?" ”
Miyang was a little overwhelmed. Xia Zhi took the box, opened the lid, took out a watch from it, unbuttoned the hidden button, put it on Mi Yang's wrist, and said with appreciation: "Not bad!" My vision is okay, right? ”
"Bought in Switzerland... It must be precious, right? ”
"Because I bought it in Switzerland, it is the price of an ordinary watch in China."
Mi Yang raised his wrist, and his affection was overflowing. After all, she is a girl who doesn't like jewelry, but has a soft spot for watches.
"This is the first gift I've received when I've grown up, thank you, Cousin Zhi!"
Xia Zhi choked a little, turned around, and picked up a key from the wine cabinet behind him: "You put away this key, and when you come to Beijing in the future, you can live here." This time, I have a classmate as my companion, so I won't force you to move in. ”
Mi Yang hesitated and didn't take the key: "Brother, this... Not suitable, right? ”
"We are brother and sister, what's wrong? Although this house is only 80 square meters, it is enough for two people. ”
Mi Yang looked at the watch and key in his hand, suddenly remembered something, got up and walked to the hanger by the sofa, and took out a string of vermilion rope bracelets from his backpack: "Cousin Zhi, this... I made it up myself, and I heard my classmates say that wearing it on your wrist can bring good luck, if you don't dislike it... To you. ”
Xia Zhi took the bracelet, took a closer look, and stretched out his hand to Miyang. Mi Yang took the bracelet, loosened the looper, and put it on Xia Zhi's wrist. Xia Zhi raised his hand and praised: "It's not bad!" I guess... This isn't your first achievement, right? ”
Mi Yang smiled: "I studied with my classmates for almost a semester to have such results. ”
"It's not very exquisite, but it's not inferior to the one bought outside, thank you!"
Mi Yang shook his head and smiled: "It's just a few dollars." ”
"Expensive or cheap is not about how much material is worth, but the most precious mind, and this is the result of more than half a year, not a measure of how much money."
Unconsciously, the night was dark, Xia Zhi took out his pajamas and let Mi Yang take a comfortable hot bath. Then I took out the futon from the closet and went to the study opposite.
Fresh lily fragrance, soft skin-like bedding; A starry night sky and a brightly lit city. Leaning in front of the window, Mi Yang stroked the pajamas that were a few sizes older on his body, and had a sense of unreality in a dream, as if he had only really arrived in Beijing today.
"Ding...", the next morning, a doorbell woke the two of them from their sleep. The moment he opened the door, Xia Zhi was almost startled.
A young girl with heavy makeup and bright makeup, wearing a cool skirt and carrying two food bags in her hand in the early morning with a slight chill. A pair of huge sunglasses covered most of his face, and his waist-length brown and yellow curly hair was wantonly messy in the morning breeze.
"Brother Xia Zhi, it's morning!"
Xia Zhi hurriedly opened the door and let the girl into the house: "You... Early in the morning, why are you here? ”
"I heard Jiajia say that you are going to leave in the next few days, I will come over to give you a meal, oh no, I am going abroad with you."
"What do you mean? Are you going abroad too? Where to? ”
The girl put the food bag on the table, looked at the candle wax and flowers left from the previous night, and turned her head to look at Xia Zhi: "This is... Who's coming? Who are you having a candlelight dinner with? ”
"Cousin Chi......"
Miyang was standing in the hallway leading to the bedroom, looking at the girl in a daze.
The girl immediately walked up to Mi Yang, showed a vigilant look, and looked Mi Yang up and down: "You... Who are you? Why are you here? Your clothes ......"
Xia Zhi walked to Mi Yang's side and subconsciously protected Mi Yang: "Zhou Yu, what is the matter with you coming over early in the morning?" ”
The girl named Zhou Yu was still staring at Miyang: "Who is she?" Why live in your home? Still wearing your pajamas? ”
"This is my cousin Mi Yang," Xia Zhi turned to Mi Yang, "Mi Yang, this is Jiajia's eldest sister Zhou Yu." ”
Zhou Yu pulled Xia Zhi away: "What eldest sister, I am only two or three years older than Jiajia, and I am not the eldest sister." Are you Xia Zhige's cousin? What are you doing in Beijing? Go to school? How come I haven't heard of ......"
Zhou Yu interrogated, and Mi Yang had no chance to speak.
"You haven't told me where you're going abroad? Are you going to study or work? ”
"I don't study abroad or work, I'll go to Canada to accompany you, okay?"
"What did you say?" Xia Zhi was stunned for a few seconds, picked up the food bag on the table, and pulled up Zhou Yu, "Where are you going back and forth, don't make trouble." ”
"I didn't make trouble, let me tell you the truth, since I heard that you were going to Canada, I asked my dad to buy me a place to study abroad, and my luggage was in the hotel." Zhou Yu shook off Xia Zhi and looked at Mi Yang, "I knew she was living here, so I came over last night." ”
Mi Yang looked at Xia Zhi, embarrassed as if he had done something wrong. Xia Zhiyi pulled Zhou Yu to the gate: "You should study abroad, I am going to work, and I am not in the same city as you." ”
"I'll go wherever you're in, and... Soon, Jiajia may also go, don't you want to be in the same city as Jiajia? ”
Xia Zhi stopped and no longer pushed Zhou Yu out. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to run to the dining table, took out the breakfast in the food bag, and beckoned Xia Zhi and Mi Yang to eat together: "Breakfast!" It's a good thing I bought more, otherwise this cousin wouldn't have had anything to eat. ”
After breakfast, Xia Zhi first sent Zhou Yu to a high-end hotel less than a kilometer away from home, and then sent Miyang to Yang Ke.
Yang Ke saw the watch at a glance, Mi Yang touched the watch and said: "This is given to me by Cousin Zhi, Yang Ke, this is the first time I have received a gift when I am so old!" ”
"Happy, aren't you?"
Mi Yang nodded: "Cousin Zhi said that he bought it in Switzerland when he was on a business trip, and he said that if you buy it in Switzerland, as long as you have the money for the most ordinary watch in China, you must know the goods, can you help me see if this watch is very expensive?" ”
"Although I don't like to wear watches, looking at the material, the craftsmanship... It shouldn't be an ordinary watch! And... It should have reached the collectible value. ”
"I'll just say it's not cheap... Otherwise, I'd better return it to Cousin Chi. ”
Mi Yang was about to take it off, but Yang Ke hurriedly stopped: "Why do you want to go back?" So, let me break it down for you. First of all, this watch is the heart of Cousin Zhi, he gave you something for the first time, and it just so happened that you received a gift for the first time when you were so old, how could you return it; Secondly, you think this gift is too valuable, you look at the car that Cousin Zhi drove, he said that it was a reward for their team, a project to reward millions of luxury cars, you think about it, how magnificent it is... Or more money-making projects. Therefore, Cousin Zhi is not short of money at all, so you can accept this gift with peace of mind. Also, Miyang, don't be so inferior in the future, so submissive! I know it's related to your family, and your parents' education from childhood to adulthood, they have made you so humble, I sometimes think... It's very uncomfortable! ”
Miyang lowered his head and didn't speak. Yang Ke stepped forward to hug her and patted her on the back silently.
"This morning... A person came to Cousin Zhi's house. ”
Mi Yang still couldn't help but tell Yang Ke what happened in the morning.
"Someone? Who is it? Male or female? ”
"Her name is Zhou Yu, and she is the eldest sister of Zhi's cousin's sister, she said... She wants to go abroad with Cousin Zhi. ”
Yang Ke looked puzzled.
"Cousin Zhi has a half-sister, and Zhou Yu should be the stepfather's child. Actually, I don't know very well, but I met Cousin Zhi's sister Jiajia once. ”
"So... There are some more complicated relationships behind Cousin Zhi. That Zhou Yu... Is she going abroad for further study? ”
"She is further studying, she heard that Cousin Zhi was sent by the company to study abroad, so she asked her father to buy her a place to study abroad, and she wanted to go with Cousin Zhi."
Yang Ke's frowning brows slowly stretched: "So... Did she go abroad specifically to be with Xia Zhi? And her family must be rich, right? Is... Halfway through, she was obviously coming for Cousin Zhi. It's not surprising that a boy as good as Cousin Zhi must have a lot of warblers and Yanyan around him! But Cousin Zhi is not a casual person, otherwise how could he still be single, right? ”
Mi Yang did not answer directly: "Jiajia's father caught the wave of wealth creation in our country, and with his family background, connections and brains, he can be said to be the first successful businessman to make a fortune. I heard from my uncle about these things, and they would occasionally talk about them when they sat together during the Chinese New Year. ”
"That's... Is Cousin Chi's mother still alive? ”
"Well, I saw it once when I was a kid, and Cousin Chi's mother is beautiful! After remarrying, she gave birth to Jiajia. Cousin Zhi's father is a people's policeman, but unfortunately... During an arrest operation, he was unfortunate to ...... But under his leadership, he eliminated a deep-rooted gangster gang that had plagued the people and disrupted social order for more than ten years, and he was also awarded a first-class meritorious service! ”
"I see! Cousin Zhi came to your aunt's house at that time, and the country's economic conditions were generally not very good at that time, and your uncle's uncle had a job and no children, so he took Cousin Zhi with him to raise him, is that so? ”
"It should be, Cousin Zhi's mother also came later and wanted to take him back, at that time Cousin Zhi was already in junior high school and had good grades, I don't know why, he didn't go with his mother."
