Chapter 24: Apology Gift
Chu Mian came back from outside in a dusty state. When he saw the bare threshold at the gate, he was not surprised.
He looked around calmly and finally set his sights on Zhou Zipei, who was completely covered in shadows. He was still in the same posture as before he left. His
long eyelashes were slightly drooping, and he was staring at something in the void in a trance.
Chu Mian walked over: "What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Zipei said "hmm", and came back to his senses, with a little smile in his eyes. Chu Mian could see that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Chu Mian was surprised and shook his head, laughing: "What can make you so happy?"
Zhou Zipei stood up, stretched slowly, and said lazily: "Nothing."
Chu Mian raised his eyebrows, not bothering with this detail, and walked to the back, saying: "Do you remember where I put the dye I brought back some time ago?"
Zhou Zipei's body stiffened, and then lied without changing his face: "I don't remember."
His hands kept moving, turning off the notebook, closing it, and putting it in the bag.
Chu Mian had already come to the room at the back, which was full of miscellaneous things, but overall it was neat, so it was clear at a glance where there were extra things or where a piece had been turned over and left empty.
He took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and casually picked up the QR code that should have been placed at the cash register with his bony fingers.
This thing was specially prepared by Lin San in order to blend in with other shops around it. It had been outside for so long without any harm, and no one touched it even though it was covered with dust.
Apart from his occasionally frivolous junior brother, Chu Mian really couldn't think of anyone else who would have a problem with a QR code and throw it into the small dark room.
He raised his eyes and scanned around, sneered, and walked out slowly.
Zhou Zipei carried the computer bag and took the car key from the table. Just as he walked to the door, he heard movement from behind.
Chu Mian leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and said calmly: "Where are you going?"
Zhou Zipei paused, pointed at his phone and said: "There is an urgent matter over there that needs my immediate attention."
Chu Mian said "Oh", and without beating around the bush, he said: "Where is the dye?"
Zhou Zipei played dumb: "I haven't seen it."
Chu Mian didn't believe it: "Really?"
Zhou Zipei coughed, as if it was true: "Senior brother, when have I ever lied to you?"
Chu Mian was helpless and sneered: "All the time . "
Zhou Zipei saw that he couldn't fool her, so he turned around decisively, but he paused and asked again: "You need that thing urgently."
Chu Mian didn't look at him, but sat on the sofa beside the table, looking through the information sent by Lin San. After listening to what he said, he pondered for a moment and said: "It's not urgent, it's just an ordinary dye, Lin Si bought it for his sister."
Zhou Zipei didn't leave either, and lay down on the sofa opposite him, saying: "Lin Si is back from the mission"
"Yeah."
He looked at the clean white ceiling, with his left hand behind his head, and his right hand stretched out in front of his eyes, carefully examining the simple ruby on his index finger, and said in a nonchalant manner: "His sister is Lin Sichong. Senior brother, why don't you give way to me, your junior brother?"
Chu Mian glanced at him with a fake smile, his eyes carrying obvious disdain, and his voice was flat: "If you talk nonsense again, I will take the things back."
Zhou Zipei: "..."
...
Lu Siyin walked into the campus the next day with a black plastic bag, which was very conspicuous, and attracted many curious looks along the way.
She walked into Class E in a hurry, and saw the last row of teenagers lying on the table to catch up on sleepiness. Without saying a word, she threw all the things in her hands on the ground with a "bang".
Pei Chenxuan was woken up, looked up irritably, grabbed a handful of his red hair, and said in a bad tone with anger: "Who the hell is he?"
Then he saw Lu Siyin's nightmare-like face, looking at him and his hair with extreme excitement.
Pei Chenxuan felt that something bad was going on, frowned, and said impatiently: "What are you doing?"
Lu Siyin smiled friendly and said: "Didn't I take your seat yesterday? I feel very embarrassed. Today I came to give you a gift and apologize."
Pei Chenxuan was surprised and looked at her strangely and said: "You are so kind."
Lu Siyin laughed: "What are you talking about? I have always been so kind."
Others: "..."
As she spoke, she shyly pretended to punch him, but Pei Chenxuan dodged it at a very fast speed.
The latter patted his chest in fear: "Fortunately, fortunately, I almost lost my life."
Lu Siyin frowned: "..."
She clenched her hair and gritted her teeth in her heart. Very good, you "Red Boy", my lady image has been trampled by you again.
Thinking of this, when I turned around again, Lu Siyin had already put on a perfect smile, with no flaws, and said sincerely: "I am really sorry, and I have prepared a gift for you."
She pointed to the black plastic bag on the ground.
There were quite a few things in it.
Pei Chenxuan realized that Lu Siyin seemed to be sincere, and his face improved a lot in an instant. He touched his nose and said arrogantly: "It's good that you know you are wrong. Why give me a gift?"
Lu Siyin urged him: "Open it and take a look. You must like it very much."
He suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise wildly, squatted down, and said: "Since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly forgive you."
He used his hands to pull the plastic bag, and the things inside gradually revealed their true appearance. At this time, Pei Chenxuan did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
"I am not picky, I don't care whether it is expensive or not, as long as I have the heart..." Pei Chenxuan said, his hands kept moving, and then took out a bottle of canned objects from it.
"Additive-free and pollution-free dye, let your hair color shine and become the focus"
He took out a bottle of green dye with a conspicuous advertising slogan in front of the whole class, and some students even read it out unconsciously.
Then everyone turned their eyes to his head.
Pei Chenxuan's face was dark: "..."
He thought, people can't always be dogs.
So, Pei Chenxuan, like a skeptic, poured out all the things in one go, and with a ping-pong sound, all kinds of dyes piled up on the ground.
Pei Chenxuan's temples throbbed uncontrollably, and he almost fainted.
Sure enough, as long as it was Lu Siyin, you couldn't expect her to do anything.
Lu Siyin was quite proud of herself, and introduced it to him enthusiastically: "How is it? Did I put in a lot of effort? Don't look at it because it's not expensive, it's only twenty yuan."
Twenty yuan, you bought so much, at least twenty bottles, and each bottle is less than one yuan. I have never seen such a cheap thing since I was a child!
"But it is very useful, cheap and affordable, it's really a good value for money."
You dare to give it to me, I don't dare to use it! If I don't know how to use it, I will go bald the next day...
"Let me tell you, I didn't choose it randomly. I thought about it carefully and found it to be the most suitable for you."
Pei Chenxuan:...
What the hell is that? Is that something a human can say?
"There are so many small details here, I thought of them all." Lu Siyin looked like he was begging for praise, "I bought you orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and red, but you didn't buy it,"
then you're really nice...
"This way you can change your color every day, red today, green tomorrow, and orange the day after tomorrow. You can also decide your hair color based on your mood. If you're in a bad mood, use red, if you're in a good mood, use green, and if you're neither in a good mood nor in a bad mood, use yellow."
Everyone:...
Stay here and cosplay as a traffic light...
