Chapter 28 Shopping Mall Comparable to Male Model
Although this was a knowledge summary class, Yan Ning focused his attention and did not get distracted, and finished it with full concentration.
But as soon as the class was over, Yan Ning was distressed.
In other words—
the day after tomorrow.
It should be Lu Chen’s birthday.
But she only recalled it now.
And I have no idea what to give...
Previously, Yan Ning usually prepared birthday gifts for friends one or two months in advance, taking into account the other party's preferences, actual needs, etc.
For example, Xin Jing’s birthday was last November.
Because Yan Ning noticed that the doll pendant on Xin Jing's school ID card was a bit old, he gave her a cartoon pendant of her favorite idol, Lin Lu.
Xin Jing was very happy after getting it.
But now——
Where is Lu Chen?
What does he particularly like?
What are you missing lately?
Yan Ning really had no idea at all.
One night, after finishing his homework for the training class, Yan Ning sat at his desk, dazed and thinking for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with any good ideas.
Because I have classes the next morning.
It was almost break time, so Yan Ning had no choice but to turn off the desk light and go take a shower.
After showering and drying her hair, she lay down on the bed. She decided to think differently, just like when you hit a dead end while solving a problem: overturn everything, start from scratch, and think differently.
Don't try to guess his preferences directly.
If you love someone, you will love his dog too...
In the darkness, Yan Ning's eyes suddenly lit up.
The next day.
In the morning, after cram school, Yan Ning put on her backpack and went out, her steps much faster than usual, to the nearby shopping mall.
According to the memory of shopping with Xin Jing before.
Yan Ning successfully found the store he wanted to go to, bought what he wanted, and then went to the gift shop to buy wrapping paper and asked the clerk to help him wrap it.
Because I want to take it home.
Yan Ning was a little worried, so she wrapped it in the bag from the tutoring class and carefully put it at the bottom of the schoolbag. Then, she took off her blue scarf and put it on top to cover it.
But.
The gifts have been bought.
How should I give it to Lu Chen?
This is another big problem.
Today, Yan Ning has a full day of classes.
But tomorrow is Lu Chen’s birthday, and tomorrow Yan Xiangrong will drive over to pick up Yan Ning and Lin Xinci to stay at their grandmother’s house to welcome the New Year.
Tomorrow, Yan Ning would most likely not find an opportunity to contact Lu Chen and deliver the gift.
So, it can only be delivered in advance today.
However, Lu Chen has been leading the children in the dance class to participate in street dance competitions recently. I don’t know whether he is in Wancheng today and whether he can meet her.
After thinking all this over, Yan Ning decided to make preparations for both scenarios.
After returning home for lunch at noon.
In the afternoon, Yan Ning, carrying a non-exposing backpack filled with gifts, was on her way to the training class. She first tried to send a message to Lu Chen's phone number ending in 2316:
Are you still in Wancheng? Are you free this evening between 5 and 6? I have something for you.
There have been frequent notifications in the cram school group recently. For convenience, Lin Xinci also allowed Yan Ning to bring his mobile phone with him when he went out recently.
It has been a long time since the message was sent, but Lu Chen has not replied.
To the classroom.
Before the class bell rang, Yan Ning checked his phone again.
Still no new news.
Yan Ning had already put the phone back.
But she suddenly remembered that they had not agreed on a meeting place yet. At this moment, the teacher had already entered the classroom. She hurriedly wrote down the name of the shopping mall where the tutoring class was located, asked Lu Chen to choose a place close to both of them, and sent it out.
After class.
It was almost five in the afternoon.
Yan Ning checked her cell phone again immediately, but faced with an empty mailbox, she no longer had any hope.
Therefore, Yan Ning decided to choose Plan B——
Go to the children's dance training class and try. If someone is still there, she will leave the gift and send a message for Lu Chen to pick it up.
Thinking so.
Yan Ning quickly packed his schoolbag, stood up, and wanted to go out quickly.
But the cram school class was over, and many students were leaving at the same time. Plus, this was the top floor of an old shopping mall, in a remote corner, with narrow corridors, so with so many people, it was inevitably a bit crowded.
Moreover, as the New Year approaches, many stores in the mall have been holding celebrations recently.
I don’t know which store around the corner is holding some lively event. Passersby are turning their heads to look in the same direction, and after seeing it, they are discussing it with suppressed excitement.
The person in front slowed down.
There was a traffic jam at the back.
Yan Ning was blocked in the door.
She stood on tiptoe, looked at the situation outside from a distance, and decided not to rush out.
She stopped at the door, put her backpack on her back, took out her cell phone, opened the message interface, and thought about how to edit the message.
Of course it’s easy to ask Lu Chen to go to the dance class to get his things.
But, birthday wishes——
Do you want to say it directly?
Or should I just treat it as a surprise first and then explain it to him after he gets the gift?
How to write blessings?
Yan Ning had no experience in celebrating birthdays for male friends, so her mind was in a mess for a moment, she was thinking about all sorts of things and was a little undecided.
After a while, everyone in the classroom slowly left.
Yan Ning simply zipped up his backpack, put it on his shoulder, held his cell phone in his hand, thought while walking, and quickly walked out the door.
To the corner.
Suddenly.
A tall figure came towards him, blocking Yan Ning's way.
Yan Ning was still thinking about how to send the text message, so he moved aside without looking up.
In no mood.
Yu Guangli.
The man also took a step in the same direction.
Yan Ning paused, then moved in the opposite direction.
That person followed again.
Yan Ning was still busy on his way and was a little anxious. He frowned, raised his eyes, and looked at the man:
"Could you please...?"
The second half of the sentence disappeared the moment she saw the person's face clearly.
because.
Then I saw——
Lu Chen took off the sunglasses with one hand, which greatly enhanced his aura of being difficult to mess with. He smiled and said in a playful manner, "No."
Yan Ning was extremely surprised:
"Why...are you here?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to see me?"
Lu Chen casually hung his sunglasses on the chest pocket of his shirt and smiled again, "So, I came."
God knows!
The content of her second text message clearly said that if Lu Chen was free, they should find a place close to both of them as the meeting place.
I didn't order him to come to her directly!
Also, does he have Doraemon's Anywhere Door?
Don't just do what you say.
Is it that easy and simple?
Yan Ning endured it and didn't say a word of complaint.
Moreover, she finally understood what had caused everyone to slow down their pace, excitedly discuss, and attract so much attention just now—
A Lu Chen who is comparable to a male model.
The man was wearing a retro black leather motorcycle suit, probably a performance outfit, with lots of zippers for decoration, making it look a bit exaggerated.
But the person who wears it has broad shoulders, long legs, an upright posture and a superior figure. He not only perfectly controls and digests it, but also wears it in his own style.
Yan Ning could even imagine him dressed like this, standing at the corner, arms folded as usual, leisurely waiting for someone.
that is.
Even if he was mistaken for an idol from an idol group, it would not be unreasonable.
"How did you..."
There was no one else in the corridor.
After a moment of silence.
Yan Ning spoke again, originally wanting to ask why he didn't send a text message.
But as soon as she said this, perhaps because she realized that the distance was a little too close, she looked up at him with a little effort.
Lu Chen leaned over.
He propped up his legs and looked at her with a smile, their eyes almost level.
The visual distance was shortened again, and Yan Ning's attention was distracted a little, and then he realized——
Lu Chen also had some stage makeup on his face.
He is naturally good-looking, and this eyeliner, foundation, etc., not only do not make him look feminine, but instead highlight the advantages of his facial features.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he is too casual, uninhibited, and completely self-centered in his eyes.
When her gaze paused, her words also paused.
"Ah, this. I just came back from the competition and forgot to wash my face."
As Lu Chen spoke, he raised his hand, as if he was about to rub his face:
“Is it ugly?”
Yan Ning hurriedly stopped him, "Don't move yet, it seems that you need to use makeup remover, it won't be clean like this."
Then, after a moment's pause.
She honestly followed her inner thoughts and said, "Actually, it's quite pretty."
The corners of Lu Chen's lips curled up noticeably.
He was obedient:
"Okay, I'll go buy a bottle later."
This interruption changed the topic.
But Yan Ning still focused his mind and pulled himself back.
"Why didn't you send me a text message before you came? What if I wasn't here and you were left empty handed?"
“I’m worried that you’re in class and won’t see the message.
Besides, it doesn't matter if I run away. No matter where you are, I will find you again."
He downplayed it and said it as a matter of course.
Yan Ning paused again, unable to describe his feelings at the moment.
"By the way, speaking of which."
Lu Chen smiled, stood up, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and waved it gently in front of her.
"Can you give me your QQ or WeChat ID? That way, I'll get a special reminder of the message and won't miss it next time."
However.
Before Yan Ning could answer.
The way this person holds the phone is like a signal.
Not far away, several girls who had stopped to chat seemed to turn their gazes over immediately, and some even seemed to be heading over here.
Yan Ning adjusted his sight slightly and glanced around hurriedly.
She was not wrong.
There were even more than just these few people. There were also many vague gazes that looked over here from time to time.
There is a high probability that she is not the only student from No. 1 Middle School in the training class.
Moreover, judging from the popularity of this road god, there must be many people from other schools who know him.
Just now, he was wearing sunglasses, which could somewhat cover his face.
And now…
Yan Ning glanced at Lu Chen, whose face was completely uncovered and still smiling brightly at her.
In order to avoid more trouble.
Yan Ning pursed her lips and immediately said to Lu Chen:
"Come with me!"
After Yan Ning finished speaking, without wasting any time, he turned around and led the way, walking quickly in the opposite direction.
She had taken classes in this building a long time ago, so she was very familiar with the road conditions here. After making many turns, she led the people behind her to the safe passage.
Lu Chen followed obediently all the way.
Even when he arrived at the place, he closed the fire door himself, crossed his arms, and looked very interested.
"So special,"
Lu Chen laughed and said, "We have to hand it over here. I am getting more and more curious about what you gave me. What is it?"
But Yan Ning knew——
This guy is acting again.
When he turned the first corner just now, he turned his head and noticed the people behind him who were about to follow him, and even put on his sunglasses again.
Now, it was just her and him.
As soon as he took off his sunglasses, he pretended to be oblivious again...
Yan Ning was also very suspicious——
He must have guessed that she was going to give him a birthday present.
Yan Ning paused as he turned his hands over the bag on his back.
Although she didn't show it on her face, she began to get nervous inside.
He expected a big...
Wouldn’t it be even greater if there was disappointment?
Actually, the bag containing the gift is very easy to take.
"Nothing special, I just bought it casually."
Yan Ning emphasized it first, then carefully took it out and casually handed it forward with both hands:
"for you!"
After Lu Chen took the bag.
Yan Ning's heart was pounding as he hurriedly added, "Happy birthday to you in advance!"
She was hesitant to say a thousand words, but in the end, it all boiled down to the simplest sentence:
Happy birthday.
A moment of surprise seemed to flash across Lu Chen's face.
"Ah, thank you," he said.
Immediately, the emotion on his face turned into a smile that permeated his eyes:
"Can I see it now?"
Lu Chen asked seriously.
Yan Ning also nodded.
The fire escape was relatively quiet.
During the short time that Yan Ning zipped up her schoolbag and put it on her back, the rustling sound of the plastic bag was particularly obvious to her ears.
Yan Ning glanced over at this moment and was shocked to find that -
Forgot to take out the gift?!
She actually handed the tutoring bag she was wearing to Lu Chen!
Fortunately, it was not convenient to unpack the gift here, so Lu Chen put the paper wrapping the gift back into the bag.
The bag came in handy again.
Yan Ning comforted himself.
This little mistake is harmless.
After a while, Lu Chen finally took them apart: two neatly stacked plush cubes, one big and one small.
He unfolded it and took a look—
It's two hats.
The styles are exactly the same, both are brown, and both have a pair of round, fluffy bear ears.
"One for Qi Jin and one for you. You can wear them together."
Yan Ning explained on the side, hiding the slight uneasiness in his heart.
After all, because it was a last-minute gift, Yan Ning thought about it for a long time last night before he realized that if he loved someone, he would love everyone in it. Lu Chen might be happy to receive the same gift as Qi Jin.
It just so happened that Yan Ning and Xin Jing had gone to a pet supplies store while shopping together before and bought toys for Xin Jing's puppy.
Yan Ning remembered seeing a store selling parent-child hats for pets and their owners.
So this morning, Yan Ning rushed to the store again.
There was only this kind of bear hat that was the right size and style for Lu Chen and Qi Jin, and there was only one pair left. Yan Ning felt very lucky when he bought it.
But at this moment.
Yan Ning witnessed it.
Lu Chen looked at the big hat given to him from front to back, left to right, but he never commented.
The cute little bear ears and his cool aura now look great.
Really, they don't match very well.
Yan Ning couldn't help but feel more nervous.
She thought for a moment and spoke first:
"I don't know if you guys will like it. If you think it's childish, next time..."
"Won't."
She didn't even finish her words.
Lu Chen seemed to have finally figured out the correct way to wear the hat. He raised his hand and little bear ears appeared on his head. He must have carefully done his hairstyle for the performance, so he didn't care that it was messed up. He adjusted the position of the hat towards the glass window on the fire door, and then turned back to look at her:
"It's just the right amount of childish. I like it very much."
He smiled.
The words are sincere and don't sound fake.
And, you know what.
Yan Ning secretly glanced at Lu Chen's outfit and thought to himself -
Although the styles are a bit mixed.
But it really suits him.
Yan Ning finally felt relieved and his mood improved.
On the opposite side, Lu Chen tilted his head again, reached out, and pinched the little bear ears on his head that felt very nice.
He lowered his eyes and looked at me, his eyes seemed pure and innocent, and then he spoke again:
"Little Bear, whose birthday is tomorrow, actually has one more wish. I don't know if it will come true."
Hearing this, Yan Ning was of course willing to help: "You tell me."
Then he took out his cell phone from his pocket and shook it with a smile.
Probably from that time on, Yan Ning discovered——
The person in front of me.
Although it's not often requested.
But once he decides on something and says something, he always finds a way to make it really hard for people to refuse.
