Zuo You hugged the box and cried bitterly, tears streaming down her face. "Uncle Li, Aunt Wang, you guys understand me the best!"
Old Mrs. Yang knitted a sweater and scarf for Zuo You. Both were sewn stitch by stitch by the old lady in her eighties. The stitches were fine and neat, and the embroidery was simple and clean. It was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into it.
Zuo You couldn't let go of the two soft clothes and said sweetly, "Grandma, I'll only wear these two clothes this winter!"
The gift Mu Chuan gave to Zuo You was quite standard, a set of carefully selected skin care products.
Xu Zisheng stuttered and spoke for Mu Chuan: "Brother Chuan Chuan chose them all. He studied medicine and knows how to read the ingredients. Just use them with confidence."
Then came Wen Shouren, who also came out with a box half a person's height.
Zuo You's eyes lit up, thinking it was another snack, and she was deeply touched: "Grandpa Wen, you are so understanding... Uh, this is..."
Zuo You opened the box with great anticipation, but her smile froze on her face.
The box was filled with rows and rows of blue books, green books, and yellow books, all as thick as bricks and neatly arranged in a row.
Zuo You took one out and took a look: Past exam questions from the Olympic Mathematical Competition.
Zuo You: ...
Wen Shouren always felt that the gift he gave was the most successful of all the gifts. The old man very unceremoniously took over Zuo You's praise and said, "Girl Zuo, I think grandpa understands you."
Although Wen Shouren looked reserved, his words clearly showed that he was seeking praise and commendation.
Zuo You laughed dryly twice and changed the subject awkwardly: "Hahaha, Tongtong, what did you give me?"
Wen Tong handed over an oil painting, which showed an inky blue starry sky, a school rooftop, and two girls leaning against each other in the cool breeze.
Zuo You exclaimed in surprise, "What a beautiful painting! Tongtong, I will definitely keep it well. When you become a great painter in the future, I will take it out and show it off every day."
Zuo You put her arm around Wen Tong's shoulders and said, "No, no, no, not just the painting, but also you. I want to tell the world that the great painter Wen Tong is my good friend!"
Li Xuanxuan also shouted loudly: "I want it too, I want it too. I will shout with a loud speaker all day long, Wen Tong is my sister!"
Wen Tong smiled shyly again and said softly, "Okay... I'll try my best."
After receiving all the gifts, Zuo You was most looking forward to the gift given to her by Mr. Fu.
What would her uncle give her? Roses? That's too tacky. Clothes and jewelry? That's even tacky.
It should be a ring. Zuo You's heart beat three times faster. This must be it. Boss Fu said he would give her a formal ring.
That Coke pull ring was really a joke back then.
Zuo You glanced at Fu Shenzhi secretly. The man noticed her gaze, his eyes bent down, and his smile was as beautiful as spring water.
Fu Shenzhi's lips moved, and Zuo You recognized it. It was two words: Guess.
Zuo You abruptly retracted her gaze. Fu Shenzhi was truly too charming! He seemed to be able to see what she was thinking at a glance.
At this moment, Xu Zisheng raised his hand weakly: "I, I, I haven't given my gift yet."
Zuo You took a look and saw that the little curly-haired boy had nothing in his hands. He asked curiously, "Hey, what are you giving me?"
Xu Zisheng pointed to the street: "Outside, outside."
Curious, everyone present followed Xu Zisheng's instructions and went outside the restaurant. Outside was the central business district, with people coming and going on the streets, but there was no gift as Xu Zisheng had mentioned.
Mu Chuan suddenly had a bad feeling. He asked seriously, "Little Stutterer, what exactly is your gift?"
Xu Zisheng said confidently, "Don't worry, Miss Zuo Zuo Zuo will definitely like it."
Looking at Xu Zisheng's confident look, Mu Chuan felt an even stronger sense of foreboding.
At exactly twelve noon, the central streets are busiest in the day.
People were hurrying back and forth on the street, when suddenly a burst of music rang out that shook the heavens and earth and moved the ghosts to tears.
"Fold a thousand paper cranes and tie a red ribbon on them~"
The pedestrians were startled and began to look for the source of the music. They slowly looked up and saw a huge LED screen above their heads slowly opening a red curtain.
Behind the red prologue is a moonlit lotus pond painting that reflects the aesthetics of the 1960s and 1970s, with pink lotus flowers, green lotus leaves, dragonflies circling above, and chirping birds on the branches.
This picture is so earthy, so rustic!
The pedestrians were all shocked. "Holy crap! Are they blind? What's going on today?" The LED screen that usually plays celebrity ads was showing something else.
However, the music did not stop and the picture on the screen did not stop.
"Good luck to you, I wish you good luck, good luck brings joy and love~"
As the cheerful and lively melody played, the pink lotus on the screen slowly bloomed, and a person slowly jumped out from it.
That’s right, a person popped out.
Zuo You watched helplessly as her close-up photo popped out from the blooming lotus, then kept spinning and zooming in and out until her entire face filled the entire screen.
Her close-up photo filled the entire LED screen.
That’s not all. At this moment, two-cent special-effect firecrackers exploded simultaneously, and a huge, colorful artistic form floated on the big screen.
"Happy birthday, Miss Zuoyou!"
The roll call included names and photos, and the voices were still going on cheerfully.
Pedestrians on the street: ...
Zuo You: ...
Fu Shenzhi: ...
Mu Chuan covered half of his face, his face ashen.
There was silence at first, and then the crowd erupted in laughter.
Many people took out their mobile phones from their bags and took pictures of this earth-shattering and heartbreaking scene.
Xu Zisheng felt that his gift was really unique and ingenious, and he was grinning foolishly.
Mu Chuan glanced at Xu Zisheng's silly look, and calmly took a step back, and then another step back.
This idiot will be killed by his stupidity sooner or later.
