Chapter 045: Whose gift is better, mine or theirs?
Early the next morning.
He Xile forced himself out of bed to eat breakfast. Yawning, he headed to the bathroom to wash up.
He Xile slept too late last night and had a dream about being chased by a giant octopus and a shark all night. As a result, his sleep quality dropped sharply and he felt very uncomfortable.
After brushing his teeth like a sleepwalker, He Xile turned around and saw a dirty mark on the window that was originally clean and bright.
Um?
How did this trace come about?
Wasn't there one last night?
Although He Xile was confused, he didn't care.
After brushing his teeth and preparing to change his clothes, He Xile saw similar marks on two or three windows along the way.
With a head full of questions, He Xile turned around casually.
Look at it this way.
Good job.
There were more or less marks on all the windows in the house, and the most marks were on the floor-to-ceiling window closest to He Xile's mattress.
These marks appear to be random, like the marks left after someone wiped it repeatedly with a dirty wet towel and the marks appeared after it dried.
He Xile stared at the mark for a while, then remembered.
——The last time the giant octopus’ tentacles slowly crawled across this piece of glass, this was the mark it left behind.
Wow.
Did the other party come last night?
And knocked on his glass???
...But He Xile had no impression at all.
He raised his hand and looked at the terminal, only to see several messages coming from the giant octopus.
"Open the window."
"Where are they???"
"Didn't you say that if you knock on the window, it will open?"
"?"
"fraud."
"I'll remember you."
He Xile: “…”
Depend on.
He Xile was depressed.
He finally understood why he had the dream of being chased by a giant octopus and a shark last night.
——The giant octopus was right outside his window at the time.
And looking at the situation, isn't this what is about to happen to He Xile?
This dream actually has predictive power!
To prevent his dream from becoming reality, He Xile quickly replied, "Sorry, I didn't hear you last night. Can you come play tonight?"
The other party did not reply.
——I don’t know if he didn’t see the message or was angry and didn’t want to reply.
He Xile walked towards the restaurant, looking at the terminal from time to time.
After a while, He Xile couldn't help but explain again, "Yesterday I opened all the gifts and made a bunch of those Chinese knots you took last time, intending to return the favor. I worked until eleven o'clock, so I was very tired and went straight to sleep. I really didn't hear it, it wasn't intentional."
"Don't be mad at me."
The other party still did not respond.
It seems that words alone are not enough to get the giant octopus's forgiveness. After all, the other party persisted and knocked on all the windows in his room.
Come with excitement, leave with disappointment...
It’s miserable just thinking about it!
He Xile felt guilty and pushed open the door of the restaurant.
I heard that Your Majesty has arrived.
When He Xile walked in, he saw the other person with his head down, his long silver-white hair hanging down, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Next second.
Wen Jiyu raised his eyes, and he leaned back, revealing the terminal on his wrist.
Oh, you were reading the news.
Upon further observation, His Majesty's complexion looked very bad.
I don’t know who offended him again.
But it’s impossible not to say hello.
He Xile walked over and said, "Good morning, Your Majesty."
"No other way to greet someone?" Wen Jiyu looked worried, looking He Xile up and down. "You said the same thing yesterday. And the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday."
...Here it comes.
He Xile blinked and ignored Wen Jiyu's words. He asked with concern, "Did anyone make you angry? I see you don't seem to be in a good mood."
Wen Jiyu: “…Humph.”
He said coldly, "Who else could it be?" After a pause, he said unhappily, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't know me."
He Xile advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
After saying this, he was stuck for a moment.
hateful.
Not comforting at all!
Silence stretched between the two.
Wen Ji raised his eyebrows.
He looked at He Xile leisurely, as if waiting for He Xile to say something.
He Xile stared at His Majesty for a long moment before mumbling, "I won't get angry if others get angry at me, but if I get angry enough to become ill, no one can help me."
Wen sent: "..."
He Xile: “…”
He Xile added: "This was a popular saying in China for a while. If it sounds strange to you, it must be because the terminal translation is not good."
Um!
It's all the terminal's fault.
Wen Jiyu: "...Yeah."
He didn't know if he was truly comforted, but his face was no longer as droopy as before. Instead, he said lazily, "Have you finished unpacking the package?"
He Xile said obediently: "It's finished."
"Then let's talk." Wen Jiyu bent his slender and beautiful fingers and tapped them lightly on the table. "Whose gift is better, mine or theirs?"
He Xile: “???”
ah?
I think you were referring to this when you asked about express delivery last time???
…What kind of strange desire to win is this?
Wen Jiyu: "Or rather, whose gift do you prefer?"
He Xile: That’s not necessary.
You are the ruler of a country!!!
"how."
Only two seconds had passed when Wen Jiyu asked coldly, "Is this question so difficult to answer? Do you need to think about it for so long?"
! ! ?
A fatal question!!!
"No." He Xile immediately retorted.
He whispered, "But the types of gifts you give are different. There's no comparison at all. Your Majesty, the variety of gifts you give is eye-opening and I really like it. And the gifts given by those who watch my live broadcast are basically confessions of love to me..."
Before crossing over to this world, He Xile was just an ordinary person, and had never experienced being confessed to by multiple people through letters. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He couldn't help scratching his head, and his voice became lower and lower. "Of course I like it too."
Damn it.
It's even harder than writing an essay.
He Xile is willing to go back to high school and do ten sets of papers in exchange for a solution to the current situation.
Wen Ji said "Oh".
He looked at He Xile casually without saying a word. His fiery eyes grew deeper and deeper, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He Xile looked at him and gradually felt nervous.
——Your Majesty is a very handsome man.
Every detail of his eyebrows and eyes is exquisite.
Or perhaps it was because the other person's appearance was too perfect, and in order to balance his handsomeness, these black lines that looked extremely enchanting and terrifying appeared on His Majesty's face.
but……
He Xile thought, even so, His Majesty's appearance is one in a million.
Those black lines are not all deductions.
At least that's what He Xile thought.
"Okay."
Wen Jiyu said calmly, "Go eat. Standing here all the time seems like I'm deliberately making things difficult for you."
He Xile: “…”
Your positioning of your current behavior is really accurate.
"Your Majesty. I have a gift for you."
He Xile took out a very delicate bright red bracelet from his pocket.
He gestured to Wen Jiyu to hold his hand, and the latter cooperated very well. He Xile carefully put it on him while introducing it, "This is a specialty of our China. It's woven into a small Ruyi knot. I hope everything goes well for you in the future."
He Xile carefully adjusted the size of the bracelet: "Okay."
Wen Ji raised his hand.
He looked at the small knot on his hand with curiosity.
Ruyi knot?
It looks very different from the tentacle I got last time. Although it's also very beautiful, I always feel that the last one seems more difficult and more carefully made.
Is this just a trick to fool him?
He Xile was also watching. He said sincerely, "It really suits Your Majesty. It looks very nice."
He was very satisfied with the result.
Sure enough, it was correct not to send His Majesty the auspicious knots in bulk.
——Your Majesty’s skin is also very white, but unlike He Xile, his skin color is a bit similar to that of Europeans and Americans. In addition, he probably did not get enough rest and was in a bad mood, so his skin looked even paler and sickly.
This bracelet is bright red and very eye-catching, adding a touch of color to His Majesty.
It also makes the other person come alive all of a sudden.
Wen Jiyu asked back, "Does it look good?"
"It looks great." He Xile said, "I originally wanted to give you another auspicious knot, but then I thought this one was more suitable, so I made it especially for you."
specially.
Wen Jiyu finally retracted his prejudice. He examined the bracelet again and gave his assessment: "Hmm. Not bad."
Although His Majesty looked disgusted, he did not take off the Ruyi knot.
He was ready to eat very naturally.
Then he frowned and pushed the plate in front of him forward with his jade-like fingers: "It's cold."
The chef immediately redid it.
Seeing this, He Xile realized that he had stayed with Wen Jiyu long enough.
"Your Majesty, I am going to eat too."
"Um."
Ten minutes later.
The giant octopus finally replied to He Xile: "I understand. I'll play with you tonight."
Very good!
He Xile breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the big octopus didn't reply before not because he was angry, but because he hadn't woken up yet.
Come to think of it.
He Xile was asleep at that time, but the big octopus was still knocking on the window diligently outside.
Even if the other party came just as He Xile fell asleep, it would be impossible for him to sleep for eight hours.
He Xile forced himself to get up for the delicious food. The giant octopus didn't have such worldly desires, so it was normal for him not to get up.
He was overthinking it before!
He Xile ate happily.
However, at night, the giant octopus did not come.
He Xile: “.”
One o'clock in the morning.
He Xile was so sleepy waiting that he almost fell asleep several times. Finally, around 1:30, He Xile couldn't help but send a question to the big octopus: "Are you still angry?"
On the other side, the bedroom.
In darkness.
Wen Jiyu's terminal suddenly lit up for a moment.
Wen Jiyu lay steadily on the mattress, motionless, and opened his eyes sharply.
After reading the contents clearly, Wen Jiyu let out an impatient "tsk." A bony hand stretched out from under the quilt, pulling out a bright red bracelet, and randomly grabbed a tentacle in mid-air.
The slender fingers exerted a little force and almost sank into the tentacles.
Wen Jiyu said coldly, "You have an appointment with someone, why haven't you come over yet?"
"Get out of here!"
