Although Lu Yibei really wanted to pull out a gadget similar to the "speed-adjusting clock" in Doraemon's pocket and immediately turn the time to tomorrow.
but…
Let's leave them alone for now.
The time he spent with Lady Ji was even more precious.
The two sang for a while longer in the mini karaoke room.
Lu Yibei could recite the opening and ending themes of old animated films like "The Glow of Dawn" and "All in a Laughter" off the top of his head.
The prestige of his title as "King of Children's Songs" continues to rise.
After their throats got a little dry from singing, they left the private room and casually ordered two hot drinks.
After waiting in line and getting a number, Lu Yibei felt that it was about time.
"Let's go back."
He whispered to his girlfriend, "Let's go back to the apartment. I have something I want to give you."
Ji Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled, and gave a light "hmm".
On this special holiday, which is mainly about gift-giving, she was not surprised to receive a gift from her boyfriend.
No surprises.
But just as happiness has deeply permeated her ordinary daily life, she is still happy.
Able to show a genuine smile.
“I also have something for you,” Ji Qingqian said.
Lu Yibei glanced at the canvas bag she was carrying.
Ji Qingqian said in a tone as if praising a child, "You have such sharp eyes~ But, I won't give them to you now~"
"Still keeping me in suspense?" Lu Yibei smiled and gently pinched the bridge of her nose.
"I prepared very carefully."
Ji Qingqian wrapped her arm around Lu Yibei's and raised her bare face at him: "Let my gift come on last, okay~"
Lu Yibei certainly couldn't refuse:
"Okay, the best is always saved for last."
Ji Qing pursed her lips slightly, then raised her eyebrows with a hint of smugness.
…
After returning to her studio apartment, Ji Qingqian went to the bathroom first—she said she was going to use the restroom, but Lu Yibei saw through her act immediately.
Judging from the fact that she even carries a canvas bag to the bathroom, she must be checking to make sure her gift is in order.
He didn't point it out.
Instead, he took a gift box from a cabinet next to him.
Inside was the pale yellow scarf he had knitted himself, a project that began at the end of November.
Although December was quite busy, with basketball games, exams, and his own writing commitments filling his spare time, fortunately, Sun'er is a good teacher, and he himself is quite good at managing his time. Despite the tight schedule, he still managed to finish the work not long ago, though without many revisions.
Compared to the "master craftsman" style of bamboo shoots, this seems a bit rough...
Fortunately, Jay's very existence can be encouraging.
Lu Yibei chuckled softly. Although his work was not yet mature, he had a strange sense of confidence that his girlfriend would like it very much.
Her faint smile even appeared before my eyes.
Perhaps that's why he could feel that he was deeply loved.
There was no anxiety or trepidation, nor any confusion.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, just as Lu Yibei had predicted.
She checked the gift she was about to give to her boyfriend.
In the past two weeks, she knitted three times... to be precise, three scarves.
She was not satisfied with the first two, but hard work pays off, and she finally made a breakthrough on the third one... Even Ma Jiaojiao praised her for knitting well.
Looking at this piece of work that had taken up almost half a month of her free time—and she even secretly wrapped a towel around her during class—Ji Qingqian's usually aloof and incomparable face suddenly showed a silly smile.
--Bang!
She was going to shoot Ah Bei in the heart again.
This isn't enough to make him swoon!
"…good."
Ji Qingqian put the scarf back into the gift box.
Then, holding it with his hands behind his back, he opened the bathroom door.
Outside the door, Ah Bei was adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner. He sat on the edge of the bed with his left calf crossed over his right thigh, and a small square box tied with colorful ribbons was placed beside him.
Ji Qingqian knew that it was a gift he had prepared for her.
“…Abei.”
Ji Qingqian lightly jumped to the boy's side, leaned forward slightly, and handed him the box she had been holding behind her back: "Hope you like it~"
Lu Yibei smiled, took the box, and then picked up the one beside his leg:
"Yes, same."
"Should I dismantle it first?" Ji Qingqian asked.
They did not choose to dismantle them simultaneously.
Ji Qingqian didn't want to miss any of her boyfriend's expressions later, since she was very confident in the gift she had carefully prepared.
“Okay,” Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian untied the ribbon and carefully lifted the small lid on the flat, square box.
The first thing you see is a pale yellow color.
For Ji Qingqian, the pale yellow color evoked a very soft feeling. Not only the color, but also the texture was soft, like a woolen product.
Ji Qingqian was somewhat surprised. She gently unfolded the folded "yarn square," and a beautiful scarf about one meter long, embroidered with needle and thread, was revealed before her eyes.
Ji Qingqian: ...
She seemed somewhat at a loss for words, her pale hands constantly stroking the surface of the scarf, feeling the roughness characteristic of wool—but without any knots, the surface of the scarf was quite smooth.
"...Before, I noticed you were always staring at other people's scarves, so I thought, regardless of whether you have a habit of wearing scarves or not, I'd try to knit one for you."
Lu Yibei said apologetically, "I originally wanted to send it earlier, but I was busy and the knitting was a bit slow... There's not much room or time to make changes now, so if you want to wear it, just wear it as is... Um, it's not very well knitted..."
