Shen Qingyi carefully took out the things inside.
It is a wooden handicraft with houses, windmills, trees, flowers and plants. On the lawn is a pair of cute human-shaped puppets, holding hands. The man is wearing a suit and the woman is wearing a long skirt and holding a bouquet of flowers.
Opposite the two puppets stood another puppet, with short, neat shoulder-length hair, a serious uniform, his hands on his hips, and he seemed to be holding a teaching stick in his hand. His eyes were full of anger, and he looked like he was in a state of violence.
There is no doubt that this runaway puppet is Shen Qingyi.
Shen Qingyi couldn't help laughing when he saw his own image, "Is this how I look in your two minds?"
Tang Jiahui said embarrassedly, "It's all Xiaochi's fault. I suggested making it a smiley face, but Xiaochi insisted, saying that the most memorable times for you were when you were angry, weren't they? He also said that every time you saw this, you'd smile, and all your worries would disappear."
Shen Qingyi nodded. "That makes sense. It's really funny. But... you guys made yourselves look so good, handsome men and beautiful women, but you portrayed me, your teacher, like this. Do you have any objections to me?" She pretended and asked deliberately.
Tang Jiahui was frightened, "No, teacher, we just think you are cuter in this image."
Shen Qingyi suddenly laughed, "Jiahui, you are still as cautious as before, and you don't even understand my jokes."
As she spoke, she looked at Chi Zhouxu and said, "Xiao Chi, Jiahui is a sensible and good girl with a pure mind. You must not let her down."
Chi Zhouxu assured, "Of course. Teacher, don't worry."
Shen Qingyi nodded, "Thank you for your gift, I like it too."
She looked at it reluctantly for a few more times and saw an English signature engraved on the base - "DingDingHouse".
The Chinese translation is "Dingding Hut". It is a famous woodworking shop in China. A small gadget like this must cost at least thousands of dollars.
Shen Qingyi frowned.
But she didn't say anything, just put the things away carefully.
"Hey, Zhou Mo, it's your turn. What gift have you prepared for your teacher?" Yu Yizhou looked like he was enjoying a good show.
Of course he had to watch the show, because so far, the gifts given to Shen Qingyi were not as expensive as his.
Zhou Mo ignored Yu Yizhou and pulled Zhao Xiaoshuang over. The two of them brought over the gifts they had prepared.
A very ordinary lavender gift box and a large bouquet of flowers.
Zhou Mo handed the bouquet to Shen Qingyi, "Teacher, happy birthday."
"Thank you," Shen Qingyi said with a smile.
Zhao Xiaoshuang handed over the box, "This is the gift we prepared."
Shen Qingyi turned around, put down the flowers, and took the box. "Can I take a look?"
Zhao Xiaoshuang: "Of course."
The onlookers all looked expectant.
Lian Yu Yizhou also stood behind Shen Qingyi, stretching his neck to see what gift Zhou Mo would give him.
Shen Qingyi carefully opened the lid of the box. Inside was a very ordinary B5-sized notebook with a hardcover cowhide cover and the words "Dongjiang University School of Health Management" printed on it.
"What? Isn't it just the notebooks distributed by our college?" Zhang Lanlan said.
Yu Yizhou also gloated, "Zhou Mo, if you can't afford a gift, you don't have to fool people like this, right? Teacher Shen is your teacher, and you're doing this?"
Tang Jiahui also whispered in Zhao Xiaoshuang's ear, "Why are you giving this to your senior sister together?"
Zhou Mo didn't care what they said.
Shen Qingyi didn't think Zhou Mo was just being perfunctory; there must be something hidden behind it.
She asked Zhou Mo: "Xiao Zhou, why did you give me a notebook? What's the reason?"
"Please open the title page and take a look," Zhou Mo reminded.
Shen Qingyi opened the title page.
A single-page greeting card was sandwiched between the title page, with greetings written by Zhou Mo and Zhao Xiaoshuang on it, and their signatures were in the lower right corner.
Shen Qingyi picked up the card and suddenly smiled. "I haven't received a card in a long time. When I was in school, teachers and classmates would send cards when there was something worth celebrating."
After reading the greeting card, her eyes were suddenly drawn to the cover page of the notebook.
The name "Han Shi" was signed in a flamboyant style.
"What is this?" Shen Qingyi was surprised.
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Professor Han's autograph."
"Ah!" Shen Qingyi quickly put down the box and picked up the notebook. Surprised, he couldn't let it go. "How did you come up with the idea of asking for his autograph?"
"Professor Han is a star scholar in our scientific research community, and I am also his fan now. Who doesn't want the autograph of their idol?" Zhou Mo said.
Shen Qingyi was excited and went forward to hug Zhou Mo, "You are so thoughtful."
Zhao Xiaoshuang was very jealous. She said, "Teacher, I picked the card. The scenery on it is your favorite lavender."
Shen Qingyi also hugged Zhao Xiaoshuang and said, "You are thoughtful too. Thank you, teacher."
After giving the gift, Shen Qingyi opened the cover of the notebook and looked at it silently, unable to let it go.
It’s obvious to everyone who gave the best gift.
As the banquet was about to end, someone who had made everyone wait for a long time finally arrived.
When he arrived, he sent a message to Zhou Mo, and Zhou Mo went to the door to pick him up.
When he walked in with Zhou Mo, everyone was shocked.
Even Shen Qingyi didn't expect that the person who came was Han Chen.
She immediately stood up, “Doctor Han, why are you here?”
Han Chen handed the bouquet and a handbag to Shen Qingyi. "First, on behalf of Director Gu, I wish you a happy birthday. The bag contains the data that our department agreed to give you. It's all stored on the hard drive. Secondly..."
He looked at Zhou Mo and suddenly took her hand. "I want to tell you that Momo and I are together. Isn't there a rule in your group that if students fall in love, they have to treat everyone to a meal? Today's meal is on me."
"Wow!" Zhao Xiaoshuang applauded enthusiastically.
Chi Zhouxu, Tang Jiahui and Ding Ning also applauded.
Ding Ning was very happy and said, "Congratulations, Senior Sister."
Zhang Lanlan and Yu Yizhou looked at each other. Ever since Han Chen came in, their expressions had been off.
Shen Qingyi warmly invited Han Chen to sit down. Zhao Xiaoshuang was very conscientious and moved a seat to the side, leaving the seat next to Zhou Mo for Han Chen.
A new round of lively atmosphere gradually arose with the arrival of Han Chen. Zhou Mo asked the waiter to add a few more hot dishes, thinking that Han Chen had just got off work and had not eaten yet.
During the meal, Shen Qingyi and Han Chen talked while eating, and most of the discussions were about professional issues. Everyone was able to join in the conversation, except Yu Yizhou, who didn't understand and couldn't say a word.
He sipped his wine in frustration and whispered to Zhang Lanlan, "Why didn't you tell me he was coming? I would have paid for this meal if I had known."
Zhang Lanlan felt wronged: "I didn't tell them you were coming."
Yu Yizhou cursed, "You can't accomplish anything at all, bastard."
Zhang Lanlan felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.
