"An An, I think you could try a different gift for Qi Ye's birthday this year," Jian Yi suggested. "Qi Ye doesn't have as big an appetite as I do. If you send her truckloads of food, she won't be able to finish it."
Niu Anan looked thoughtful: "But besides a big gift bag of snacks, I don't know what to give. I always feel that nothing I give would be good."
"It's not like I haven't thought about giving other gifts before, but I saw others gave them and Qi Ye rejected them. She probably doesn't like them."
Jian Yi: "How about you give her perfume? Girls are very suitable for perfume. Choose a nice smell."
"Someone gave Qi Ye perfume, but she refused it," Niu Anan continued. "The person who gave her the perfume said she had no other intentions, but Qi Ye still refused it and said she didn't like wearing perfume."
Jian Yi: "Give me jewelry. You are a wealthy woman, so you should be able to afford some jewelry."
"Someone gave it to her, but Qi Ye said she doesn't like wearing jewelry and thinks it's tacky." Niu Anan continued, "She doesn't like it at all, so I don't dare give it to her. Qi Ye is a cultured person, elegant and noble, and doesn't like these tacky things."
Jian Yi held her chin: "Where's the lipstick?"
"Someone gave it to me, but Qi Ye refused. She said she was busy with research and experiments and didn't have time to apply these things."
Jian Yi frowned. Is Qi Ye so picky?
She actually seldom saw Qi Ye, but she still had an impression of her in her mind. In her impression, Qi Ye's clothes were indeed simple and plain, and she basically wore a skirt suit on formal occasions.
But in my impression, Qi Ye used perfume, lipstick, and earrings?
Jane suddenly realized that the reasons for rejecting those gifts were mostly excuses.
"An An, I don't think Qi Ye hates those things. It's probably because she doesn't have any good feelings towards those people, so she said that."
Facing Niu An'an's puzzled gaze, Jian Yi continued, "Those are humans. Qi Ye is not human. They are of different races. Qi Ye doesn't plan to develop anything, so she definitely won't accept their gifts. But you are different. We are all inhuman, so it's normal to have some human interactions. You send snacks every year, and Qi Ye accepts them. Maybe it's because we are all inhuman. Do you think Qi Ye would accept a cart of snacks if other humans gave her a cart?"
Niu Anan was a little shaken by what she said: "Sister Yi Yi, what you said seems to make some sense, but what if she doesn't accept it..."
"I think we should do this. You pick one main thing to give, and also pick a few delicious snacks and give them together. This way it's just an extra gift. It doesn't matter if Qi Ye doesn't like it when the time comes. It's just a side gift."
Jian Yi felt that Qi Ye's acceptance of Niu Anan's annual gift pack of snacks was definitely not simply a matter of social grace; there must be other reasons. Perhaps Qi Ye also had some feelings for Niu Anan, otherwise, how could he be so indulgent?
If it's as she guessed, that would be interesting.
Niu Anan's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that she wanted to adopt Jian Yi's method.
"What should I give you?"
"Pick one of the lipsticks, perfume, or jewelry. They're all great."
Niu Anan was in a dilemma again: "Then what should I say?"
"Just say you overheard someone say this thing is great, and it happened to be her birthday, so you bought one for her to celebrate. She probably won't refuse." Jian Yi leaned closer to Niu Anan. "In fact, have you noticed that Qi Ye uses perfume, lipstick, and jewelry?"
Niu Anan recalled carefully, his face full of enlightenment, it seemed to be like this.
Every time she went to see Qi Ye, she was indeed wearing makeup and earrings, and seemed to have some fragrance on her body, although the fragrance was very faint.
"Qi Ye doesn't accept gifts from those people. In fact, he just doesn't want to have more contact with them?" Niu Anan asked uncertainly.
Jane breathed a sigh of relief. This stubborn guy was finally convinced.
"That's right, that's right."
Niu Anan quickly took out her phone and pulled Jian Yi: "Sister Yi Yi, I want to buy the same perfume, lipstick and jewelry. More will look better, and less will be embarrassing."
Jane: Drooling with envy.
One is fine, no need to buy all of them, this cow.
Is this the happy life of a rich woman?
She is the most miserable!
Jian Yi helped choose a light and elegant perfume with a hint of gardenia, which Niu Anan thought was very suitable for Qi Ye.
Niu Anan fell in love with a brand of lipstick in all colors, and decided to buy it without hesitation. In Niu Anan's opinion, giving more gifts is more presentable, while giving less is not presentable.
What can Jane say?
The rich girl was willing to spend money on the one she liked, so could she stop her? Definitely not.
At most, you can continue to drool with envy.
Anyway, she felt that Qi Ye would accept it, and maybe with her help, the two of them could get married soon. When they got married, there would definitely be a banquet.
At that time, Niu An'an's family and Qi Ye's family would have to spend all kinds of precious things to prepare a banquet? Facing such a famous person like her, wouldn't they have to treat her to an extra portion?
Having a wedding banquet in the animal world is more nourishing than anything else.
Jane Yi thought happily in her heart and was looking forward to the time when the two of them could get married.
"An An, you can choose the jewelry yourself. I still have to deal with the 279 night bus incident."
Niu Anan did not stop Jian Yi: "Okay, Sister Yi Yi."
"By the way, if you want jewelry, it's best to buy it in a physical store. There are a lot of scammers online."
"knew."
When Jian Yi left, Niu Anan was still sitting there, constantly swiping his phone.
If Jian Yi knew what kind of jewelry Niu Anan had chosen for Qi Ye in the store, she would have definitely helped her choose. Although the item was very nice, it was not worthy of Qi Ye's elegance, no matter the style or color.
After saying goodbye to Niu Anan, Jian Yi got on the bus to Songyun Road.
It’s actually quite far from here, and you have to change buses several times.
Jane left home early, not worried about being late. On the bus, she took out her phone, opened the business group, and quickly joined the group chat.
Jian Yi: Is anyone going to Songyun Road today?
Ji Xuan: Are you going today, fellow Taoist?
Ji Ling: My brother and I are going.
Jane: I’m on my way there. I want to go over and take a look. Are there many people going there today?
Sheng Zhengfei: Hello, Fellow Daoist Jian, I just came from out of town and plan to visit Songyun Road tonight.
More than a dozen people showed up one after another, all saying they wanted to go there tonight.
Jane Yi casually asked which bus stop they were waiting at and didn't say much else.
The people in the group didn't care, and they were all exchanging the latest news. Along the way, Jane Yi changed buses several times before finally getting on bus 279. It was still daytime, and this bus 279 was the bus company's 279, not the fake one.
Jane stopped at a relatively remote bus stop. After learning more about the situation, she discovered that the fake 279 bus liked to pick up people in such remote places.
However, what she didn't expect was that after getting off the bus, there was already someone standing at the bus stop. It was a woman wearing a cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella.
This outfit isn't weird, but being alone in this place does feel a little strange.
"Fellow Daoist, are you here for 279 as well?"
Jane Yi originally planned to stand far away and wait for Dark 279 to appear, but she didn't expect that this woman in cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella would actually take the initiative to ask questions.
Jane had sensed before that this woman was no ordinary person, possessing spiritual power. It wasn't that she was afraid of her, but she looked so aloof and aloof, clearly unwilling to get close to anyone, that she couldn't quite reach out and greet her.
"Yeah, fellow Daoist too?"
Ding Shuang nodded gently: "Yeah."
Jane Yi looked up at the sky. There was almost no sun at this moment. In fact, she didn't understand why the woman was holding an oil-paper umbrella.
She didn't ask, guessing that the other party might want to match it with the cheongsam and think it looks good.
"Fellow Daoist, what are your thoughts on the 279 incident?" Ding Shuang suddenly remembered that she hadn't introduced herself yet and added, "My name is Ding Shuang, and I'm a ghost hunter."
"Jian Yi." Jian Yi took out the Heavenly Master certificate and showed it to Ding Shuang. "A Heavenly Master can catch anything."
Ding Shuang nodded, unconcerned. "Fellow Daoist, are you sure you can resolve the 279 incident?"
"I don't know about that. This is my first time here. I won't know until I go up there." Jane Yi considers herself to be a relatively low-key person. Don't be too full of yourself. Not only will it make people dislike you, but it will also easily lead to failure. This is the experience she summed up after watching "Life of Predecessors in the Human World".
Ding Shuang didn't ask again this time. She always maintained the same standing posture, holding an oil-paper umbrella, as if she didn't know her hands were sore.
She felt Jian Yi looking at her oil-paper umbrella and said, "This is my life-saving magic weapon, specially used to capture ghosts. It's not what you think."
She could see it, and Jane's face was full of an expression that showed she thought her umbrella was very beautiful.
However, Jian Yi noticed that Ding Shuang's face was full of memories when she talked about the umbrella, and she knew there was a story behind it.
She didn't ask any more questions and just nodded with a smile.
Jane Yi also discovered that there was a beautiful knot hanging on the handle of the oil-paper umbrella. It was very old and probably quite old.
Ding Shuang touched the knot swaying in the wind, without saying a word, immersed in memories.
The two stood under the bus stop without communicating. Jian Yi was concentrating on playing with her phone, while Ding Shuang was distracted by the beautiful knot.
The sky gradually darkened.
The number of passing vehicles decreased. At seven o'clock, two people appeared at the bus stop. They were a young couple.
The two looked unhappy and complained to each other that they shouldn't have stayed out so late. If they couldn't wait for the last bus, they would have to take a taxi.
It was getting dark, and at this remote bus stop, it wasn't really safe to take a taxi.
"Okay, it's my fault for not planning ahead. This won't happen again next time," said the boy.
"It's my fault too. I shouldn't have been so playful. I can't blame you for everything. There are other people here, so it should be okay." The girl said, "Next time we can't play so late."
Ding Shuang's somewhat cold face suddenly melted when she saw how the two of them interacted, and she smiled faintly.
Jian Yi seemed to understand something. This ghost hunter named Ding Shuang must have someone he loves very much in his heart.
And that old, aged knot is probably related to the person the other person likes.
Just as Jane Yi was thinking, she heard a message alert. She looked down and saw that it was the landlady who sent her a message.
Qin Xin: Is the matter settled?
Jane: It hasn’t started yet. I’m waiting for bus 279.
Three minutes passed.
Qin Xin: I’ll message you back when I’ve dealt with it.
Jane: Okay.
Another three minutes passed.
Qin Xin: Come back tomorrow morning to eat?
Jane: Come back.
One minute later.
Qin Xin: Good night.
Jane: Good night.
Qin Xin, who had turned into a cat at this time, was sitting outside Jian Yi's window. As for why she was stepping on a mobile phone, it was because she had placed it there in advance.
She moved the cat's paws and found that typing with them was indeed inconvenient. It would probably take a few days to get a custom-made keyboard.
"Here it comes." Ding Shuang reminded softly.
Jane looked quickly and saw a bus running towards her from afar.
