Chapter 36 Gifts
Chapter 36 Gifts
Ji Xu booked a large private room in Qilin Pavilion, with dishes for two tables. Tao Jia knew that the dishes were expensive when he saw the dishes, which made him doubtful about the birthday party for a while. "This posture doesn't look like Zheng Qin's birthday, but more like your birthday party."
Ji Xu smiled and said: "You don't know that kid is the most annoying about these things, but it's his birthday anyway, he doesn't care so he has to let me have some snacks, who made me his best buddy."
Although this is true, Tao Jiayue always feels uncomfortable when listening to it, the best buddies or something... He and Zheng Qin should also be qualified...
Zheng Qin went to the bathroom, Tao Jia sat directly on his seat, reached out and tugged at Ji Xu's sleeve, and asked him: "Doesn't Zheng Qin have many friends?"
Ji Xu circled the people with his finger: "Can't you tell, if I have more friends, I can invite the whole class? These are all here to support the scene."
"Zheng Qin has no other friends besides you?"
"You can say that." Ji Xu explained, "Invincible is always lonely, and besides, he looks like a dog. This guy has never broken the relationship with the opposite sex since he was a child. Boys don't treat him as an enemy and guard against him." Not bad, who would talk to each other. And that guy's temperament is not someone who would take the initiative to hook up, and no one would dare to approach him over time."
Tao Jia especially agrees with the last sentence.In the first two months when they went home together, the relationship between the two of them didn't make much progress, and they remained in a state of embarrassment in the cold and embarrassing speech.If it weren't for the tutoring later, their relationship would probably be more superficial than the classmates at this table.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ji Xu said complacently again: "It's also thanks to my excellence, I am not inferior to him in all aspects, and I took the initiative to extend a hand of friendship to him with a tolerant heart, otherwise he would not even talk to the person who spoke. None of them. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t be able to gather a table of people for his birthday party now.”
As soon as the voice fell, a voice neither happy nor sad sounded behind him. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to hold this extremely boring birthday party."
The two who were whispering head to head turned back, and saw Zheng Qin standing behind them with his hands in his hands, his expression not very good-looking.
Ji Xu sat up straight with a dry smile, knowing that his friend hated this kind of noisy place where demons danced wildly, and knew he was wrong.What's more, when he was cutting the cake just now, he tried to push his friend's head into the cake. Although there was only a small piece of cream on his cheek in the end, Zheng Qin, who was obsessed with cleanliness, still changed his face.Ji Xu is also a good boy who is sensible, he dare not do it again, and naturally he dare not say anything.
Zheng Qin's face was still wet, his bangs were still dripping, and anyone who looked at the tight corners of his mouth knew that this person was not in a very beautiful mood.Tao Jia didn't dare to hit the gun, pretending to be a transparent person, shrunk his head and slowly moved his buttocks to sit back in his seat, but Zheng Qin held his shoulders as soon as he lifted his buttocks.
"Just sit here," Zheng Qin pushed him back on the chair, and took his original seat by himself.
Tao Jia obediently switched the bowls and chopsticks between the two, took out a tissue and handed it over, and asked flatteringly, "Do you want me to wipe it for you?"
Zheng Qinwu took the tissue to wipe his face, glanced at him, and asked calmly, "Did you do something bad behind my back?"
Tao Jia categorically denied it: "No, why do you ask that?"
Zheng Qin glanced over his face and said, "You can describe your expression in one word, do you know what it is?"
Tao Jia feels good about herself: "Handsome? Handsome? Charming?"
Zheng Qin raised the corner of his mouth: "It's flattery."
"..." Tao Jia sat back on his seat with a wrinkled face, grabbed the cup on the table and took a big sip of Coke. Don't you have any good words?!"
Zheng Qin shook his head: "There are still good words, but I don't want to say them."
Tao Jia is persuasive and persuasive: "The teacher taught us from an early age that we should not be stingy with our compliments when we treat our friends. Appropriate compliments are conducive to enhancing the relationship between friends."
Zheng Qin didn't take it seriously: "I'm worried that if you praise you, you'll go straight to heaven."
Tao Jia asked angrily, "Am I such a superficial person?"
Zheng Qin didn't answer, but a chuckle was enough to replace any words.Tao Jia was so angry that he really wanted to throw another piece of cake in his face, but he didn't dare, so he went to encourage Ji Xu.
He turned to Ji Xu again, and whispered: "Do you want to throw another piece of cake?"
How could Ji Xu, who had witnessed everything, not know what he was thinking, and accused him with a sad face: "Tao'er, brother has never treated you badly, right? You just want to kill me like that?"
Tao Jia muttered to his fingers: "I don't dare."
"I dare?" Ji Xu's eyes widened, and he glanced back over Tao Jia's head with concern, and saw Zheng Qin staring at them, to be precise, at him, His eyes are worse than before.Before he realized the meaning, he subconsciously sat up straight and distanced himself from Tao Jia.
Tao Jia had no choice but to sit up straight, with a confused expression on his face.Why did you suddenly disconnect when you were talking well?
Facing that gaze, Ji Xu turned Tao Jia's head 180 degrees, and said calmly, "Zheng Qin called you."
Tao Jia had no doubts, and turned to face Zheng Qin: "You called me?"
Zheng Qin paused for two seconds before humming slowly.
"what's up?"
Zheng Qin paused for a while before pointing to the empty cup in front of him and said, "The Coke is gone."
"Pour the coke yourself when it's gone! I'm not your nanny!" Although he complained like this, his body still acted spontaneously.
Zheng Qin saw a smile in the eyes of the man who lowered his head and seriously poured Coke for him, and his tone became warmer."I'm used to it," he said.
Tao Jia hummed and said nothing.
Tao Jia used to help Zheng Qin make coffee when he was making up lessons at Zheng's house. At first, he was entrusted by Zheng Qin and he was reluctant to do it, but later he became a habit. As soon as Zheng Qin saw that Zheng Qin's cup was empty, he took the cup and went downstairs consciously without being reminded by the other party.
Whether it was Tao Jia pouring drinks or bickering, the two of them did it very naturally. After all, it was a very normal thing for them, and they didn't think there was anything wrong.But for others, this scene is a rare spectacle once in a hundred years, which broke the glasses of batch after batch of viewers.
Ji Xu also held his chin and watched with relish, but he didn't break his glasses, and he was watching the excitement from the beginning to the end, with a deep smile on his face.Facing Zheng Qin's gaze, he did not avoid it, and even winked at him playfully.
Zheng Qin said that the other party didn't want to talk to you and even threw a pair of blank eyes at you.
The birthday banquet lasted for two full hours. Ji Xu originally planned to have an after meal, but Zheng Qin vetoed it, and some students also said that they would go back to do their homework in the afternoon, so they disbanded on the spot after eating. up.
Because Zheng Qin said early in the morning that there was no need to give presents, the students in Class [-] didn't make any preparations, and just said "Happy Birthday" verbally.However, as a good brother in China, Ji Xu prepared it carefully, a boxy box, the size of a mobile phone box, wrapped with exquisite wrapping paper.After the others left, Ji Xu urged Zheng Qin to open it.
The moment she saw the gift, Tao Jia exclaimed: "PSP3000!"
Ji Xu glanced at him approvingly: "You're quite knowledgeable."
In fact, Tao Jia didn’t often play games when he was in school. Later, after work, he played more games to vent his emotions, and one of his hobbies is to collect all kinds of models that have been discontinued, so he recognized them at a glance, and couldn’t help feeling: “This But the latest model, the current market price is 2000."
Ji Xuman didn't care: "This money is trivial, trivial."
Tao Jia looked at the handsome game console, then thought about the gift she had prepared, and silently hugged her schoolbag tightly.Zheng Qin obviously liked the gift, he closed the box with care, and said thank you with a light smile.
After the birthday party, Ji Xuben wanted to suggest another half-day trip to the amusement park for the four of them, but Ming Nan had to visit his grandfather's house with his parents in the afternoon.Ji Xu decided to go with him, and Tao Jia and Zheng Qin also said they wanted to go home, so the half-day trip to the amusement park was cancelled.
The hotel was only half an hour away from the community, so Tao Jia and Zheng Qin didn't take a taxi and decided to walk home.
Walking beside Zheng Qin, Tao Jia was still thinking about the gift Ji Xu gave him, and thinking of what Ji Xu had said to him, he couldn't help saying: "You and Ji Xu have a really good relationship, and you are helping me again. I bought you such an expensive gift for a birthday party."
Zheng Qin played with the game console, hummed lightly, and said, "It's similar to you and Ming Nan."
Tao Jia felt a sense of depression in his heart, and muttered with his mouth curled up: "I'm not as good as you, I can't afford to give gifts that cost thousands of dollars, and I can't afford to treat guests in a private room in a hotel."
Zheng Qin didn't take it seriously: "Ji Xu doesn't suffer either."
"What's the meaning."
"I gave him a new pair of sneakers for his birthday last year." Zheng Qin shook the game console in his hand, "The price is not bad."
"..."
All right, he is narrow-minded, he shouldn't use the standard of the poor to judge the young master of the rich family.With this comparison, Tao Jia felt that the gift she had prepared seemed more perfunctory, so she decided to pretend to be stupid and resolutely not mention the gift.But Zheng Qin wanted to oppose him, if he didn't mention it, he would mention it himself.
"Where's your gift?" It was obvious that he was asking for a gift, but it was quite natural for him to say it.
Tao Jia flicked his eyes left and right, and said to him from left to right: "Didn't you say that you don't need to give gifts?"
Zheng Qin nodded: "Well, there is really no need to give it away if you have a normal relationship, but you are different."
Tao Jia suddenly became nervous, and began to stutter: "Where am I, is it different?"
Zheng Qin's expression was calm: "Didn't you say that we are good brothers, and you don't need to show that good brothers celebrate their birthdays?"
"Oh," Tao Jia's heart suddenly recovered, and he was still a little indescribably lost.Seeing that Zheng Qin didn't give up, he had no choice but to slowly open the schoolbag, handed him the small gift box tied with a bow, and did not forget to give him psychological training when he unwrapped it.
"My gift is not as expensive as Ji Xu's, and it's not very beautiful. If you don't like it, you can return it. I won't blame you." After finishing speaking, he was afraid that he would misunderstand that he didn't care about his birthday, and then Explain, "I only found out about your birthday today last night. The time is too tight, and I couldn't find a suitable one after shopping outside all night..."
While he was explaining, Zheng Qin had already taken out the gift. A clay figurine with the height of an adult's palm, although the workmanship was not very good, Zheng Qin still recognized it: "A figure? You made it yourself?"
"How do you know?" Tao Jia was surprised.
Zheng Qin turned the villain's face to him and said, "Do you think someone would buy a figure with a snub nose and big eyes?"
Tao Jia was so ashamed of being told that he rubbed his toes on the ground and explained guiltily: "I made this by myself when I was in the second year of junior high school. It was Naruto from Naruto, one of my favorite anime characters. At that time, I didn't have money to buy a finished product." , I found a tutorial on the Internet and learned how to make it. Although it is not good-looking, it is very meaningful, and I have always cherished it.”
"Then why give it to me?"
Tao Jia lowered his head and whispered: "Because you are my friend, the gift is too perfunctory to justify, so I have to take out what I cherish the most."
"Just give it to me, don't you feel bad?"
Tao Jia thought for a while, nodded, and said, "My heart aches, but you are more important." After finishing speaking, she was stunned.Why does this sound so wrong?
However, Zheng Qin seemed to like this expression quite a bit. He lightly stroked the clay figurine with his fingers, and smiled softly: "Thank you, I like it very much."
The author has something to say: Zheng Qin: Did my wife tease me again just now?
So, don't underestimate the flirting methods of straight men, my friends!Straight men pick up Han Lai, the power is comparable to nuclear/weapons/weapons, it doesn't matter whether you are a school grass or a cold male god, it's all in one pot (?˙▽˙?)!
