Chapter 157 Opening Gifts
"Do you know what's in here?" Li Qi Han saw the little girl running away and turned to ask Gu Moci.
"I know but I won't tell you. Didn't Nuannuan tell you to go back and take a look?" Gu Moci said, then opened the drawer in front of him.
"Here, this is for you." Gu Moci took out a rectangular box from the drawer and handed it to Li Qihan.
"Thanks!" Li Qi Han took it and prepared to open it. He had to obey his girlfriend's orders, but he could do whatever he wanted with his good brother.
When I opened it, I saw a Swiss Army knife inlaid with a red gem.
Li Qihan knew that this was a top collection from a recent foreign auction. It was engraved with a number and was the first one produced by this mechanical military factory.
He also found out about it from Fang Lin and the others, but he didn't expect that Gu Moci would take a photo of it as a birthday present for him.
Gu Moci and Li Qihan are like brothers.
When they were young, Gu Mocheng often played with Lu Ming, Ji Jinze and others, while Gu Moci, Li Qihan and Ji Jinzhou, who were still unable to walk steadily, could not keep up with them.
So the three little ones started playing by themselves in the fence.
The girls were held in their father's arms.
Whenever a few parents get together, the children get together to play.
Later, after Gu Mocheng and the others grew up, the Ji family moved out of S City for a while, and the Lu family also became busy. The only ones who often got together were Gu's mother Xia Nuo and Li's mother Luo Xinran.
Gu Moci is a calm person, unlike Gu Muwan and Gu Muxi at that time, who were unwilling to listen to music, play chess, or drink tea with their grandparents.
Just stay with your mother.
So Li Qihan and Gu Moci grew up almost at the same time. They went to the same school since kindergarten until Li Qihan was admitted to a military academy. Later, they went to study abroad in different countries.
As for Han Xu and the others, they are good friends who grew up together. Han Xu, who works in the catering industry, and Zhou Xuan, the owner of a film and television company, are Gu Moci's college classmates, while Qin An, the captain of the criminal police force, was Li Qihan's roommate in the military academy.
Later, through Gu Moci and Li Qihan, they got to know each other and became good brothers.
The parents of the Han, Qin, and Zhou families had previously had business dealings with the Gu family, and through the relationships among them, they became familiar with each other.
Gu Moci and Li Qihan always prepare birthday gifts for each other every year. The gifts have evolved from a piece of building blocks when they were young to these precious and rare toys now.
So, even though it was a top-notch collection and cost Gu Moci a lot of money, Li Qihan still accepted it with peace of mind.
Li Qihan and his family left the Gu family with two boxes of mooncakes given by Gu Muruan.
As soon as he got home, Li Qihan went to his room.
Sitting at the table, Li Qihan opened the small gift box that Gu Muruan gave him.
When I opened it, I found it was a piece of gold, and next to it were some small handicrafts made by Gu Muran.
I have to say that Gu Muran has very skillful hands and made a set of cartoon dolls.
Li Qihan played with it for a while, looked at his collection cabinet, stood up, took down one of the transparent shells of the Lego he built when he was a child, put the small handicraft made by Gu Murnuan into the box, and placed it next to the simulation model that Gu Murnuan gave him last time.
He returned to the table and sat down, then picked up the gold bar in the middle of the gift box. He opened the transparent shell and saw that it was a gold amulet!
Li Qihan instantly became cautious. There was a rope under the amulet. It was not difficult to guess that Nuannuan wanted him to carry it with him.
Li Qihan was very happy holding the amulet given by his girlfriend.
After all, he never thought that Gu Muruan would give him such a special thing.
Gu Muran gave him a peace amulet, which showed that she was not just perfunctory, but was sincere to him and understood his actual situation.
In addition, for those who are always on the edge of a knife when they go on a mission, carrying a amulet with them will give them more motivation and caution.
My family also gave me gifts, which showed their concern and care for me. My girlfriend also gave me gifts, which definitely showed her care and concern for me.
Li Qihan looked at the amulet carefully and suddenly found some symbols engraved on it, which looked like pinyin but were not pinyin.
I observed it for a long time, but couldn't make out what was engraved on it.
Picking up the phone, he sent a message to Gu Muruan: "Nuan Nuan, I like the gifts very much. I like the cartoon dolls and the amulet too."
Gu Muran was sitting on the sofa at this time. When she saw the message, she instantly replied to Li Qihan with a "satisfied" emoticon.
"What is engraved on this amulet?" Li Qihan asked.
"Didn't you see?" Gu Muruan replied.
"Not yet... yet." Li Qihan answered truthfully.
“Hahaha.” Gu Munuan replied with another emoticon and then sent it to: “Guess it yourself. If you really can’t guess it, I’ll tell you tomorrow morning!”
"Okay, I'll study it further." Li Qihan began to stare at the thing in his hand again.
"Are you free tomorrow? Shengsheng and Wanwan want to have dinner together." This is what Mu Sheng repeatedly emphasized to Gu Muruan, saying that when Li Qihan comes back, she must let Li Qihan treat her and Wanwan to a meal.
"I have time." Li Qihan glanced at his phone and understood.
He knew very well that Wanwan, Mu Sheng and Gu Muruan had a close relationship, and the reason why they cared so much about his attitude towards Nuannuan was simply because they truly cared about Nuannuan.
Therefore, faced with such concern, Li Qihan not only did not feel the slightest bit of disgust, nor did he mind at all, but instead felt a little more touched.
"Then I'll talk to them and send the address to your phone?" Gu Muran asked Li Qihan for his opinion.
"Okay." Li Qihan also replied with an emoticon of a dog nodding.
"Don't mind what they ask you, or if they say a lot." Gu Muran reminded Li Qi Han.
"No, I'm very happy that you are willing to tell them about us." How could Li Qihan mind? He thought Nuannuan was too considerate of others.
If Nuannuan had always been in the Li family, or had grown up in a family, she would have used an imperative tone when telling him this now.
She should also be gloating when asked by a good sister or close friend, instead of considering his feelings.
After chatting for a while, the two did not forget to use their mobile phones to share the delicious food while eating.
It was not until they returned to the room and Gu Muran was about to go to bed that Li Qihan put down his phone and continued to study the amulet.
He wanted to figure out his girlfriend's little thoughts by himself, so even if he had to stay up late, he had to decipher it.
Finally, with the help of a mobile phone and a computer, at the moment of twelve o'clock, Li Qihan finally understood the words engraved on the amulet.
Those are the strokes of his name, each character is broken down and arranged according to the corresponding ancient fonts.
Li Qihan instantly understood why Gu Muruan did this.
I want him to carry it with him at all times, but because of the nature of his work, I'm afraid it will affect him, so I put a lot of thought into it.
Thinking of the scene where Gu Muran carved these words for him with her own hands, Li Qihan held the amulet against his heart, feeling very thoughtful and liking it very much.
Before going to bed, Li Qihan threaded the red string onto the amulet, placed it under his pillow, and lay down.
The next morning, Li Qihan took out the amulet that he had been using as a pillow all night, sat up, and put it around his neck.
Then he picked up his phone and sent a message to Gu Munuan: "Nuannuan, thank you for your hard work. I now understand what is engraved on it.
Gu Muran had just woken up and was lying on the bed looking at her phone. She quickly replied with an emoticon of a little rabbit giving a thumbs up.
Li Qihan was amused by the little girl and didn't know where she found so many cute expressions.
Li Qihan dialed Gu Muruan's number and the call was connected.
"Are you awake so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Li Qihan, who had just gotten up, said in a low voice.
"My biological clock has gotten used to it, and I can't fall asleep again after waking up. What about you? You finally have a vacation, why don't you take a rest?" Gu Muruan asked him back.
"Me too. I can't fall asleep once I wake up. Every time I come back from vacation, I feel uncomfortable when I wake up in the morning and have nothing to do." Li Qihan said with a smile.
"Do you really know what is engraved on that amulet?" Gu Muruan asked Li Qihan with some disbelief.
"Yes, my name." Li Qihan really admired the little girl's idea. It took him half a day to recognize his own name after looking up information.
"How did you recognize him?" Gu Muruan asked curiously.
"I feel like it looks like three words, so I must have thought of our two names first." Li Qihan began to tell his girlfriend about his decryption process.
"Then I looked up all the ancient and modern spellings of our names. But none of them matched.
Later, I changed directions many times and had no idea what to do. So I went back to the name, separated the strokes and wrote them on paper. Finally, I tried to put them together and found that it was our name that was engraved. "
"That's amazing! I thought I was going to tell you the answer this morning!" Gu Muruan really felt that it was not easy for Li Qihan to see that, because it took her a lot of effort to come up with this method.
"You are amazing. You have such a unique idea." When Li Qihan heard the little girl praising him, the smile on his face deepened a little.
"In that case, can you carry it with you?" Gu Muruan asked Li Qihan tentatively.
"You must carry it with you. I'm wearing it around my neck now." Li Qihan promised.
"As long as you can take it." Gu Muran finally felt relieved. She had been worried that the gift she gave would be inappropriate.
"What are you going to do this morning?" Li Qihan asked her.
"Well... Mom said yesterday that she wanted to go shopping, and Wanwan, Xiaoyan and I wanted to go together." Gu Muran accepted her mother's invitation yesterday.
"Okay, then have fun in the morning. What about the afternoon?" Li Qihan finally had a vacation, and he would definitely set aside a day or two to spend time with his girlfriend.
"I don't have any plans for the afternoon. Oh, by the way, Wanwan told me last night that we should go to DK for Western food tonight." Gu Muran told Li Qihan the address of the meal.
"Okay, then, can you give me the afternoon time?" Li Qihan finally said what he wanted to say.
The morning was short, so he just stayed at home for a while, then went to Gu Moci's "appointment", had lunch with Ji Jinzhou, Qin An and others at noon, and spent the afternoon with his girlfriend.
"That should be possible. Then what are we going to do?" Gu Murun asked what he planned to do.
"Go to the movies, go shopping, play games, try them all." Li Qi Han didn't have any fixed plans. He was prepared to change at any time according to Gu Muran's temporary interests.
"Okay! Then we can watch a movie first. Shengsheng told me that there's a really good comedy coming out recently!" Gu Muruan thought watching a movie was a good choice.
There are suitable movies, and I can experience other people's essential love affairs with Li Qihan.
"Well, where should I pick you up this afternoon?" Li Qihan asked.
"Let's go to the dessert shop! We'll eat outside at noon, and then I'll go to the dessert shop after we finish eating." Gu Muran thought about it.
"Okay." Li Qihan was looking forward to the afternoon.
"Well, get up quickly and have breakfast! I'm going to wash up." Gu Munuan saw that the two had been talking for almost half an hour.
"Okay, bye, see you in the afternoon." Li Qihan also prepared to get up and wash up.
"See you in the afternoon." Gu Muran hung up the phone, got out of bed, opened the curtains, and a ray of sunlight shone into the room.
Gu Muruan stretched and felt that the weather was really nice today, and she was in a good mood too!
After going downstairs to have breakfast, Gu Mochen acted as a driver and took his mother and sisters to the mall.
Gu Muruan started shopping with her family again.
As for Li Qihan, after washing up and going downstairs, he found his grandparents and parents sitting at the dining table waiting for him to eat.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, good morning! Why don't you eat first?" Li Qihan was puzzled. In the past, when he came back, it was sometimes in the early morning and sometimes during the day. Even if he rested at home for a few days, no one was waiting for him to have breakfast.
The reason was that Grandpa Li and Father Li used to dislike him, saying that he looked so polite when eating, and that he didn't eat like that in the army. But when he got home, he was like this, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. What was going on in his stomach every day?
Grandma Li and Mother Li thought that Li Qihan had developed civilized dining habits since childhood. He should eat like this even in the army, chewing slowly and thoroughly, which was good for his health.
The two men then retorted, "How can we eat like this in the team? How can we adapt to the ironclad discipline? If we don't eat enough at mealtimes, we won't have anything to eat all day."
Li Qihan always ate elegantly and always had his fill when he ate in the team. In order to avoid disputes surrounding him, he reminded his mother to just keep his breakfast warm, otherwise no one in the family would have peace in the morning.
But today, it's an exception.
"We're waiting for you, son. Sit down quickly. Mom has something to ask you." Luo Xinran asked her son to take a seat quickly.
"Mom, what do you want to ask?" Li Qihan asked in confusion.
"Your Uncle Gu and Aunt Xia, don't they know about your relationship with Nuannuan?" When the family went to Gu's house yesterday, they found that the Gu family members were still able to greet their son with a smile, just like before.
I guessed that the Gu family didn't know about their relationship and didn't mention it.
"Well, only Aci and Wanwan know, Nuannuan only told them." Li Qihan knew that there was a reason for waiting for him to eat.
"Well, do you want Mom to talk to Aunt Gu for you? I know my best friend, and she will definitely support you. However, your Uncle Gu..."
