Chapter 7: Return Gift
Life here is particularly boring in Gradual, especially for children under the age of 12.
The children of the wealthy here receive expensive private tutoring services and then go to elite colleges to study.
"I'm coming! I heard your home is here, so I wanted to bring you a return gift. Xu Yue stood at the door of Yang Ziming's house, showing a bright smile.
Yang Ziming's mansion is built on the edge of a mountain cliff and is made of white-painted stone bricks, giving you a panoramic view of the bustling city below.
Xu Yue was dressed plainly, a short T-shirt with a yellow smiling face printed on it, a pair of black shorts, long black hair tied into a ponytail, a pair of sandals, and a delicate gift box in his hand.
Yang Ziming was wearing a French nightdress, and her long brown hair hung down to her back. She smiled politely and said, "Come in, I've been home alone these days." ”
"Huh? Are your parents not at home? Xu Yue asked.
Yang Ziming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, they are engaged in diplomatic work, they are rarely at home, and their families are not important to them." ”
"Then how did your parents get together back then?" Xu Yue asked.
"We got the right match, and then we got together, because my parents were both in the diplomatic service, and they got married when they thought it was appropriate." Yang Ziming replied.
Xu Yue recalled the plot of the novel, the reason why Yang Ziming fell madly in love with Su Zixun was because she lacked the company of her parents in her childhood, and Su Zixun made up for her emotional lack.
And from this moment on, Xu Yue will reverse Yang Ziming's fate.
"Come, you see, last time you gave such an expensive gift, I'm going to send you something simple." Xu Yue said and opened the gift box in his hand.
The gift box contained a smiley T-shirt of the same style as Xu Yue, and she flattened the folded T-shirt and placed it on the leather sofa.
"I grew up here and am used to wearing skirts, but in fact, in daily life, no matter how expensive clothes are, no matter how beautiful the skirts, they are just to meet the needs of dressing up, so this is for you." Xu Yue said.
Yang Ziming's hand rubbed the smiling face pattern on the T-shirt, raised her eyes to look at Xu Yue, and looked excited: "This is the first time I have received such a special gift. ”
Xu Yue smiled awkwardly: "I always thought that you all cared about the price, but I didn't know how to return the gift, so I chose a more useful T-shirt." ”
Yang Ziming looked at the group photo in the center of the living room, her eyes were a little confused: "These words, I generally don't say to outsiders, but I can rarely make true friends, since I was a child, my parents have asked me to be a decent person, to be the heir to their family business, I can't go out casually, I have to go out on a trip, I have to dress up carefully, I have learned a lot of subjects, but I always feel that my life is fake." ”
"Fake?" Xu Yue expressed his incomprehension: "However, the money in your hand is real. ”
"I don't know what this feeling is, I just feel like it's lonely....." Yang Ziming lowered his head.
Xu Yue had a flash of inspiration and stood up excitedly: "I have a way!" We've been on top of the gradient hill all the time, why don't we go down the hill? ”
"To the bottom of the mountain?" Yang Ziming tilted his head suspiciously.
Xu Yue nodded vigorously, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his smile hid an invincible conspiracy.
