Chapter 38: Choosing a Gift



The college entrance examination is getting closer and closer. Jian Yunxi watched the countdown in front of and behind the class change from 100 to 67. He was nervous and expectant, and Jian Yunxi couldn't explain his feelings.

The third mock exam is coming up in a few days, and the class is filled with the atmosphere of memorizing.

Chen Shasha covered her ears and opened and closed her mouth, showing rare seriousness. She closed her eyes and recited it again, opened her eyes to check again, and found that she had finally memorized it. She excitedly hugged Jian Yunxi and shook him back and forth.

Jian Yunxi was shaken by her and lost his temper, so he had to shake her back.

"Hmph! You didn't even call me when you went shopping last time. I was angry!" Chen Shasha was furious. Her friend actually went shopping with someone she just met. Is this really Jian Yunxi?

Jian Yunxi looked down at the cream-colored sweater jacket on her body with some helplessness.

I bought this when I was shopping with Lina last time. Lina fell in love with it at first sight and said that the color was like the sunshine in early spring, warm but not dazzling, and it especially suited her skin tone.

The sweater is soft and delicate, feels like a warm cloud, and is light and comfortable to wear.

The most special thing about it is its design - the collar is an irregular wavy shape, with thin pearls on the edge, and the cuffs are slightly tightened and trumpet-shaped, making the wrists look slender and long.

The body of the dress is embellished with several hollow patterns, which are neither ostentatious nor reveal a touch of delicate thought.

Today was the first time she wore this sweater to school, and she unexpectedly became the focus as soon as she entered the classroom.

Several girls gathered around her, staring at her coat with sparkling eyes, and asked in unison: "Yunxi, your sweater is so beautiful! Whose brand is it from?"

"Yes, yes, this color is so gentle, and the design is also very unique!" "Tell us quickly, we want to buy one too!"

Jian Yunxi was a little caught off guard by the question, so she could only smile and answer: "I bought it at a store on the back street. I don't remember the name of the store, but its decoration is very conspicuous. You can see it when you get there."

As she spoke, she secretly regretted in her heart that if she had known it would attract so much attention, she would not have worn this dress today.

In the intense study time of senior high school students, even a small change can arouse discussion among everyone.

When Chen Shasha heard that Jian Yunxi went shopping for clothes without inviting her, she was so angry that her nose was almost crooked.

When she heard that he was shopping with the beauty from Class 12, she felt like she was about to burst into flames.

She gave up only after Jian Yunxi promised to accompany her shopping next time.

Unexpectedly, Lina asked her to go to the street together to pick out a gift for Yu Guanghui after school in the afternoon. Apart from her own younger brother, Jian Yunxi had no experience in giving gifts to other boys.

Lina and Jian Yunxi come from similar families. Apart from big expenses like buying clothes, she usually has a maximum of 20 yuan in pocket money. She has been frugal for a long time and is preparing to buy Yu Guanghui something better.

In the past, she would give Yu Guanghui a key chain, and one year she even knitted a scarf for him, but she couldn’t wear a scarf on Yu Guanghui’s birthday.

Yu Guanghui gave her an MP3 player. Lina didn't want to accept it, but after Yu Guanghui's constant persuasion, she accepted it. So she always felt bad about it.

"Yunxi, what do you think we should give to a boy?" Lina said worriedly.

"How much money have you prepared for the gift?" Jian Yunxi asked Lina secretly.

Lina pointed with a finger, and Jian Yunxi understood.

"Let me tell you, I've only bought birthday presents for my brother. It has no reference value."

"It's okay, I trust your judgment."

"Doesn't he love playing basketball? Why not give him a basketball, along with a wristband and a headband."

After hearing this, Lina's eyes lit up, and the image of Yu Guanghui playing basketball on the court immediately appeared in her mind.

It was a summer evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the court, giving everything a golden glow.

Yu Guanghui was wearing a white vest, black sports shorts, a dark blue headband on his head, and wrist guards of the same color around his wrists. His movements were crisp and clear, and when he dribbled the basketball, it bounced flexibly under his hands, as if it had become one with him.

Every breakthrough he made was accompanied by a fierce momentum, and the defensive players could hardly keep up with his pace.

When he jumped to shoot, the lines of his arms looked particularly slender and powerful in the setting sun. With a slight shake of his wrist, the basketball drew a graceful arc and fell steadily into the basket with a slight "swish" sound.

At that moment, the sweat on his forehead gleamed faintly in the sunlight, and the whole person seemed to be surrounded by a dazzling halo, making him look particularly dazzling.

Lina remembered that she was standing on the sidelines at the time, her eyes unconsciously following his figure.

Every move he made and every jump he made was full of strength and beauty, as if the entire stadium was his stage, which deeply attracted her.

And when he scored a goal and showed his iconic smile, Lina's heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Yes! Basketball!" Lina clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling. "He loves playing basketball so much, giving him a basketball is perfect! And he can use the wristband and headband in his daily life, so he can think of me every time he plays basketball!"

Jian Yunxi looked at Lina who was immersed in the happiness in her imagination. No, all women in love reveal a sense of silliness.

"Not only playing basketball, I guess he has to think of you no matter what he does." Jian Yunxi teased Lina.

Lina was not the type to be shy. "Yunxi, don't laugh. I guess it will be the same when you fall in love. No one can escape it."

Jian Yunxi didn't believe it. Every time she saw Yu Guanghui and Li Na together, they always smiled with a worthless look. She didn't dare to think about what she would do if Lu Yang showed that kind of expression...

She couldn't help but shudder. It was too scary and too horrifying.

But everyone should be different. For example, although Song Mian is cold, he takes care of Zhao Yiran meticulously, like an old nanny.

As for Chen Haochi, he had a very affectionate look on his face. Once, because his girlfriend said she didn't want to drink cold milk in the winter, he kept her milk warm for three months. It was so heartless that it was as if I didn't even know him before the exam.

After choosing the gift, Lina said she would treat Jian Yunxi to a meal and said she wanted to thank Jian Yunxi.

The two of them went to drink rice noodles with meat sauce. Jian Yunxi added a lot of oil and chili peppers. It was so spicy that she was sweating from the tip of her nose, but it was so delicious.

"Yunxi, how come you don't get acne when you eat chili peppers? I don't even dare to eat them."

Jian Yunxi observed Lina carefully and found that her skin was also very good, without any pores, and there were one or two pimples on her forehead which were not obvious.

"Oh my god, Lina, you are naturally beautiful. If you didn't have acne, how would ordinary girls like us survive?"

Lina burst out laughing, "You are still ordinary, you are too modest!"

Jian Yunxi suddenly felt embarrassed, "Well, well, I'm definitely not comparable to you, the class beauty."

Lina finally understood what Yu Guanghui said. Jian Yunxi is beautiful but unaware of it, and she is also studious. Lu Yang, this stubborn donkey, will have a hard time.

But she doesn't want to break this window paper. The most exciting thing about the ambiguous period is to let the two college bullies be ambiguous.
