Fifty-two:
However, despite thinking so, Ji Qingzhou and Chu Cheng finally went to eat Western food. They asked for a private room and sat by the window, looking at the night view outside. Ji Qingzhou looked at the crowds of people on the street. There were vendors on both sides of the road selling balloons and peace apples, and young girls selling roses because there were many people. Ji Qingzhou felt it was very lively. He liked this kind of liveliness because this simple and ordinary atmosphere looked very pleasant.
The waiter in the restaurant placed a peace apple in front of each of them while they were waiting for their meal. Chu Cheng didn't like apples, so he pushed his to Ji Qingzhou.
"You don't want to eat?"
“I don’t like apples.”
"You're not going to eat anything at all?" Ji Qingzhou was curious.
"That's not the case. I just don't want to eat so much."
Ji Qingzhou understood that, like his mother, he could eat a little, but he couldn't finish the whole thing. He put the peace apple away and planned to go back and carve a flower for Chu Cheng so that he could eat a little, which was also a good hope for Christmas Eve.
After eating, the two planned to go home. Chu Cheng looked at the crowd outside the car and teased him, "Don't you want to go down and walk around? Feel the festive atmosphere."
Ji Qingzhou shook his head, "Let's go down and walk at this time. Even if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. We are all a family that can't move."
Chu Cheng chuckled, "Okay, let's go home then."
"Yeah." Ji Qingzhou nodded, "Let's go home."
The road was a bit crowded on Christmas Eve, and it took the two of them some time to finally get home. Chu Cheng said, "I'm going to take a shower," and went into the bathroom. Ji Qingzhou took advantage of this time to go to the kitchen to wash the apples and carved a peony flower for him and placed it on a delicate plate.
When Chu Cheng came out of the shower, Ji Qingzhou handed him the plate. Chu Cheng looked at the flowers in the plate in surprise, "Did you carve them?"
Ji Qingzhou nodded, "Eat it. It's Christmas Eve, so eat a little for your own good."
Chu Cheng looked at the delicately carved flowers on the plate and was reluctant to eat them. However, apples cannot be kept for a long time. If they are kept for a long time, they will oxidize and change color. Ji Qingzhou was afraid of oxidation and kept urging him to eat them. Chu Cheng had no choice but to eat them and sighed, "It's a pity."
"It's nothing to regret. If you like it, I'll do it for you next time."
"You are quite skillful in this area." Chu Cheng praised.
Ji Qingzhou smiled and said, "Not only am I clever in this aspect, I am also clever in other aspects."
"oh?"
Ji Qingzhou pressed him on the sofa and said, "Wait for me."
After that, he ran into his and Chu Cheng's bedroom.
Chu Cheng guessed that he was going to get a gift for himself, so he sat quietly on the sofa waiting for his gift. But he couldn't help wondering, with Ji Qingzhou's personality, what kind of Christmas gift would he prepare for himself?
He thought of many possibilities, but he never expected that after opening the gift box, he would see a transparent glass bottle filled with half a can of folded paper stars and an ultraviolet pen inserted diagonally in the middle.
Chu Cheng looked at Ji Qingzhou in confusion, "Do you think I'm a girl?"
These are girls who are still in school. Junior high school girls don’t like this kind of stars, okay!
Ji Qingzhou sat down next to him and explained to him, "I folded this star. I competed with Luo Yuxin, answering questions while folding stars, and I won. I found this UV pen in the first level of our escape room game. It's my trophy." He looked at Chu Cheng and said to himself, I came here. "When I entered this circle and filmed my first drama, you accompanied me. So I didn't want you to miss the first variety show, so I gave these to you. In this way, the entire beginning of my career in the entertainment industry is related to you."
Ji Qingzhou's voice was very light. "Don't think they are worthless, but they are all evidence that I have defeated others. I defeated Luo Yuxin twice. I am very happy and proud, and I also feel that I am very lucky. So I hope that in the future, when you meet people you hate or opponents who don't take you seriously, you can also be lucky enough to defeat them."
He turned to look at Chu Cheng, and said sincerely and frankly: "Chu Cheng, I give these to you because I hope you can always be smooth sailing without any worries or setbacks. Even if you encounter something unpleasant, you can quickly find a way to solve it. You are very good, so I hope you are also well. Merry Christmas. I am very happy this Christmas."
Chu Cheng looked at him, speechless for a moment.
He thought Ji Qingzhou just watched too many idol dramas and chose to give him something that only girls would like, but he didn't expect that the bottle contained not only the stars he folded, but also his best wishes.
He gave him the spoils from his first variety show recording.
