11 11. Birthday gifts
Seasickness stickers have no effect, Zong Ji has been taught.
Departing from the southernmost coast of the Earth's continent, the cruise ship reached the South Pole, needed to cross the treacherous Drake Passage, nearly fifty hours of bumpy seasickness, and no relief means would work for him.
He walked such a route once, lost five pounds, and then landed in the South Pole twice on his Gulfstream plane.
At this moment, on Ji Youlan's yacht, Zong Ji tore off the seasickness sticker irritably.
What kind of shit, it's not as useful as her being around him.
He summoned Ji Youlan, who was unpacking the gift with Qu Feifei on the sofa opposite, "You stay close to me." โ
She didn't move, only asked, "What's the matter, why did you tear up the seasickness sticker?" โ
"You have perfume on you...... Or the smell of shampoo, more effective than seasickness. โ
Ji Youlan didn't use perfume today, she lifted her hair and sniffed, "Yes, what type of smell still has this effect?" โ
Zong Ji's face was pale, and he had no answer to what he said.
He said again, "Sit down and stay close to me." โ
Ji Youlan put down the things in her hand, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "You wait for me." โ
She remembered that in the shower in the bilge bedroom, she had the same shampoo she was using.
She ran down, and after a while, she found an unopened bottle of shampoo and brought it over, and quickly unscrewed the bottle and handed it to Zong Ji.
"If you smell this, it must be more effective than the star in my hair."
Zong Ji: "......"
He looked at the shampoo and then at the man in front of him.
It seems that he is no longer dizzy, and the unbelievable shock and unspeakable anger occupy the brain, and there is no time to regenerate other feelings.
If there is no shame in crying and grabbing the ground, he is afraid that he will have to shout for help.
What kind of woman he likes, what kind of woman is it? With such a roundabout way of playing, will he still be visible every day?
She was still asking eagerly, "How is it, is it better?" โ
Zong Ji switched to the state of full blood resurrection in a second, and his voice was calm and powerful: "Screw it on, I'm fine." โ
"So it works?" Ji Youlan was shocked, "What's in this?" Let's go back and get an anti-seasickness patent. โ
Zong Ji was really angry with her, and his mind returned to order, turning around in an orderly manner, and he was relieved.
He stood up and moved, "It's better for you." โ
"A little bit of my hair is useful? You go to my brother to do this project, and how many people who are seasick and seasick will benefit. โ
She took it seriously.
Qu Feifei's hand kept coming, just in time to open the gift brought by Zong Ji, the black gift box was opened, "Jiu'er-"
She gasped, clearly startled.
Ji Youlan turned around when she heard this.
At the innermost level of the box, eight golden spheres are arranged in order of size, the largest is the size of a golf ball, and each surface is engraved with different lines - the atmosphere or surface features belonging to the eight planets.
Qu Feifei took out the smallest one and shook it, "Solid...... Real gold? โ
Ji Youlan's eyes widened, what is the difference between this and sending her money directly?
Not to mention the gold price, the design fee plus the money for modeling and opening the mold is also a lot of money for customizing such a fine thing.
He doesn't want to be so proud.
But it really looks good at spending a lot of money, and she was impressed at a glance.
I like it, I really want it, I can't be polite with him.
It's a big deal that she returns a more expensive gift.
Ji Youlan picked up the Saturn with the most obvious characteristics, and the thin gold wire led the rings of Saturn in the outer ring, and the value of the craftsmanship is difficult to estimate.
Her eyes lit up: "You can't regret sending it to me." โ
Zong Ji was satisfied with her love for this gift, and smiled for the first time since the boat sailed: "Who didn't want it before? โ
"Who is blind?" She was so happy, happier than all the gifts she had opened before, "Oh, it's me who was blinded." โ
Everyone on the yacht was attracted by this chic and expensive gift, and several planetary spheres were admired in turn.
"If I have this thing at home, I won't be able to memorize the eight planets in the exam."
"No, put it at home to attract thieves, put it in the safe, and wronged these rare objects."
"I have to go around Mars in this life, nine, can the technology be realized before I die?"
Fang Yi on the side quietly asked Fang Jue: "Brother, who is he?" How could you give such an expensive gift to Sister Jiu'er. โ
Fang Jue took Ji Youlan's joy into his eyes, "He and Xiao Jiu are one day's birthday, so naturally there is more affection." โ
"Was it his sixteenth birthday with his sister? They ......"
Fang Yi swallowed his words back.
I just heard a lot of past events in the nineteenth middle school.,It turns out that this is another protagonist.ใ
It is not difficult to remember that when her mother died, she and her brother had reached the point of desperation, and they were later taken back by the Zhou family's father to be able to breathe.
The trajectory of life is very different, but fate will always let people with fate meet.
Fang Yi was very sensible, and his tone unconsciously brought comfort: "Brother, when you are twenty-six or thirty-six years old in the future, you will be by her side." โ
Fang Jue nodded, but he couldn't convince himself.
Judging from the outside world, the relationship between Zong Ji and Ji Youlan - ordinary friends, superimposed on the fate of the same birthday - there is no need to exchange such a valuable gift, let alone its central meaning.
Fang Jue and Zong Ji have been classmates for a semester, but they have little to no intersection.
He took the initiative to distance himself from this circle, and he had heard a lot about the second son of the Zong family, and how outstanding the young generation was in Bac Ninh.
For a character like him, no matter who he gives as a gift, no matter what aspect he chooses, it must be first-class and good.
And what Ji Youlan likes is this gift, and it has nothing to do with the person who gave the gift.
Fang Jue could only think like this, and only then did he slightly press down a little suspicion and a little frustration for no reason.
Yan Hui bumped Zong Ji's shoulder in the back, the more he looked at it today, the more wrong it became.
Zong Ji changed his mind to come here temporarily, but these balls had to be decided two months in advance.
Two months ago, Ji Youlanren was still in Antarctica.
"You will also send it, and compare this boatload to all the people." Yan Hui approached him and said, "Whose flower did you borrow to offer this Buddha?" โ
"What's the matter, I deliberately asked someone to do it for her, can't I?"
The sincerity of real gold is easily interpreted as a joke by his emotionless expression and tone.
"Okay, okay, it's my birthday in the month, waiting for your purpose."
"How do you compare yourself to her?"
"Don't dare to compare, don't dare to compare," he said loudly, shouting slogan-like jokes, "Miss Nine is incomparable!" โ
Ji Youlan's excitement fell, and she also thought of a key question: "Zong Ji, how long will it take to do this?" You're not going to be of any other use, are you? โ
"It's yours in your hands." Zong Ji made the final decision and spread out a set of mature rhetoric, "My brother-in-law found someone to design it and made it for my nephew, and I asked for a set by the way." โ
By the way, dispel all doubts and erase all intentions.
But look at her, how happy.
Nothing could be more important than this.
Yan replied: "What price, give me a set." โ
"Make your own decision."
No, that's the only thing in the world.
The gifts were all opened, and it was getting late.
The large number of birthday cakes in the refrigerator were taken out one by one, and Ji Youlan inserted the candle on Fang Yi's ordinary cream mousse.
She opened another candle with the word 25 and asked Zong Ji which cake she liked.
"Don't waste it, just order one."
"Will there be no spirit and no spirit in making a wish like this?"
"That's more sincere than anyone."
Ji Youlan has obvious advantages, "This is a cake specially made for me, and it will definitely give priority to bless the realization of my wishes." โ
Zong Ji could hardly guess that their wishes would be contrary.
That's not something to compromise on, he is tough: "We'll see, we'll see one day." โ
In front of the sofa in the living room, everyone gathered in a circle, and the happy birthday to you of various timbres was sung, and the two birthday stars made a wish together.
This scene coincides with the age of sixteen, and many photos have been taken.
Qu Feifei couldn't hold back and went to lobby Zong Ji again: "Handsome guy, can I borrow the portrait right to use it?" โ
"Miss Qu, I still cherish such a little friendship with you, and I turned my head into a defendant, how ugly."
"You don't understand, you don't understand!" She was heartbroken, "Look, I've cut out all the transition points, can this not be popular?" โ
The video was slammed in front of Zong Ji's eyes.
It's very non-technical to pull the transparency transition,Add a different style of filter before and after,Inject soul into the background music,Although it's simple,The effect is really a mustใ
Regardless of anything else, just looking at the appearance of Zong Ji and Ji Youlan, there is enough room for brain supplementation.
"Don't take too big a step," Zong Ji still refused, "The traffic is exploding, and public opinion has a bad reaction, can you bear it?" โ
Qu Feifei was still in the middle of the head: "What bad reaction?" Whoever sees it can't boast of a perfect match. โ
Zong Ji likes to listen to this, but he can carry it clearly, "Have a vision, and how you like to spread it with our group of people, on the Internet, don't talk about it." โ
"Really don't think about it anymore! Why don't you make do with Jiu'er, I'm optimistic about you! โ
"What do you mean by improvisation?" Zong Ji no longer bothered her.
The cakes of various flavors were cut, everyone sat down to eat them, and someone pulled up the topic: "Tell me, have the wishes of the year been fulfilled until now?" โ
"I made too many wishes, I don't remember, oh yes," Ji Youlan turned her head to look at Zong Ji next to her, "There is indeed one that has not been fulfilled, I want you to call me sister." โ
Zong Ji: "...... Then you die, it will not be achieved in this life. โ
Ji Youlan didn't care, "What about yours?" Has it already been implemented? โ
Zong Ji paused with the fork in his hand, "I thought there was no chance to achieve it before, but today, it has just been achieved a little bit." โ
"What wishes?" Ji Youlan was curious and then guessed blindly, "It won't be a challenge not to get seasick." โ
Zong Ji once again saw the twists and turns of her brain circuit, what kind of wish is this.
"If people don't say it, it won't work if they say it."
"How many years have passed?"
"It works for as many years as it takes."
Ji Youlan was surprised that the seriousness in his tone should really be something he longed for.
But is there anything else for a person like him to ask for?
Ah, it's the sweetheart he refused to go on a blind date for.
She showed an expression of "I understand you", Zong Ji didn't know where she thought of it again, eighty percent was not a good thing.
"Your tendon is not suitable for guessing other people's minds, stop."
After dinner, the yacht returns to the marina.
Yun Steaming Island arranged for the driver to send the drunk people back. Fang Jue wanted to send Fang Yi back to school and said goodbye to Ji Youlan.
The cars in the parking lot drove away one after another, Ji Youlan sat in her car, and the driver was helping her sort out the gifts in the trunk.
All kinds of message groups on the mobile phone are still lively, and photos and videos can't be swiped.
On the public social platform, there are also friends who post articles, but they all respect the wishes of Zong Ji and Ji Youlan and do not show their faces.
On the hot search platform, there is an entertainment entry #่ตตๅฎๅฒฉๅคงๆปก่ดฏ#, which is predicting the winner of an important film award next week, and this one has the highest voice.
Click into the topic person's account, the last update was last September, and only a birthday cake emoji was posted.
Who is celebrating the birthday, guess and guess, the media does not know, the public does not know.
Ji Youlan withdrew, and clicked on a note "ยท" in WeChat. of contacts.
There is no correspondence.
The message do not disturb switch was slid around by her.
What is there to look forward to, can you fool yourself by setting up messages without notification?
The other side doesn't even know who she is.
The door on the right side was suddenly opened, Ji Youlan thought that there was something wrong with the driver, and when she looked up, she didn't expect it to be Zong Ji.
"You're not gone yet?"
He propped up the car door, "Give me a ride, my head is still a little dizzy." โ
Zong Ji didn't drink today, so he didn't need a driver to send it, Ji Youlan said: "I'll find you another driver, otherwise what will you do with your car?" โ
"You...... The smell of hair works. โ
Ji Youlan still believed: "Okay, I live in Cardamom Bay, not far from you?" โ
"Not far."
Zong Ji got into the car, Ji Youlan finally glanced at the phone screen, and "ยท" dialog box, the Do Not Disturb sign is set on the right.
So be it.
The screen was locked, and the little silenced bell was still flashing in my head, getting bigger and ringing for a while.
She turned her head to look at Zong Ji beside her, trying to divert her attention, when Zong Ji's face and the bell in her head overlapped......
She straightened up suddenly, and said with full anger: "Zong Ji, I remembered, obviously you blocked me first." Pay me back a hundred! โ
Zong Ji: ?
