Huo Beiting originally thought that through the phone call last night, he had a deep understanding of what kind of birthday gift Yan Qing would like, but when he was actually preparing to implement it the next day, he fell into deep confusion again.
Huo Beiting looked at the piles of documents he had sorted out all night long, and always felt that something was missing. However, if he asked to say specifically, he couldn't tell what it was.
After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to call him at the risk of being laughed at by Cheng Zijue.
"Brother Huo, do you feel a little unskilled when preparing gifts?"
As soon as the call was connected, Cheng Zijue blurted out a long paragraph, making Huo Beiting's face darken.
Cheng Zijue waited for a long time but there was no sound from the other side. He coughed twice, licked the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly began to make amends.
"Well, I don't mean anything else. I just... I've been in situations like yours a lot, so I understand exactly how you're feeling. There's nothing to be shy about. Every man who falls in love for the first time goes through this!"
When Huo Beiting heard the first three words, his face, which was originally just a little blue, now became so black that it seemed as if ink was dripping out.
"It's better not to say this, it will only make it more obvious."
Huo Beiting gritted his teeth and spat out from his slightly pursed mouth, which made Cheng Zijue shiver unconsciously.
"Um, Brother Huo, I have some things to deal with at the company. If it's nothing serious, I'll hang up first!"
Cheng Zijue laughed and was about to hang up the phone, but Huo Beiting stopped him in time.
"What kind of gift do you think a girl like your sister-in-law would like? And what kind of place would be best for a birthday party? Don't give me a long lecture like you did last night, with not a single useful sentence."
Huo Beiting said a warning at the end, successfully stopping Cheng Zijue from saying the long speech that was like chicken soup for the soul that had already emerged from his throat.
"Ahem! I've never met my sister-in-law before, so let me tell you the details. I really can't explain it to you!"
Cheng Zijue paused, swallowed, and continued.
"Brother Huo, after spending this evening and this morning, didn't you come up with anything? Why don't you send me the things you've sorted out and let me take a look. I'll see if I can help you choose something similar?"
Cheng Zijue asked tentatively, without much expectation, but he didn't expect that not long after, he heard a ding-dong sound from his computer mailbox.
"It has been sent to your mailbox, please take a look."
Cheng Zijue nodded and immediately opened his email.
The moment he opened the mailbox, Cheng Zijue's eyes widened immediately. He never expected that his brother Huo would be so fast.
In his eyes, these were just some alternative gift ideas. There was no need to prepare such a large document package! He felt as if Huo Beiting had gathered together everything he could.
"Brother...you have a lot of stuff. Otherwise, give me an afternoon and I'll take a look!"
Cheng Zijue couldn't help rubbing his eyes when he said this. Just opening the first file package and seeing the densely packed small words reminded him of the scene when he was studying in college. It was too much like the scene when he was studying hard for the final exam.
"Hurry up, I need it urgently."
Cheng Zijue agreed with tears in his eyes, and started looking at the documents without stopping after hanging up the phone.
It took him nearly four hours to finally finish reading all the documents, but he felt like his eyes were about to be ruined.
After putting some eye drops in and resting his eyes on the bed for a while, he called Huo Beiting back.
"Brother, I've read the documents you sent me before, and I think... when you were sorting them out last night, you definitely didn't take what I said to heart. It's not that the documents you sorted out aren't bad, but they're a bit too comprehensive! I don't think some of them are suitable for my sister-in-law!"
Cheng Zijue said as he compiled the results of the past half afternoon into a compressed package and sent it to Huo Beiting's email.
"Brother, I just sent a file to your email. Take a look. I compiled this this afternoon. It's the best of the best!"
Huo Beiting hummed, hung up the phone like a donkey that has done its job, and went to check his email.
I have to say that Cheng Zijue is quite reliable in terms of feelings. After Huo Beiting read the document he sent him, he already had a plan in mind.
So during dinner in the evening, Huo Beiting began to implement his plan step by step.
"Do you have time these two days? We haven't gone shopping together since I came back from my last business trip. It's been a long time since I went out shopping together. It's not good for your health to be so tense every day..."
Huo Beiting was interrupted by Yan Qing halfway through his words.
"Why are you talking so incoherently today? Do you want me to accompany you? If you want me to accompany you, why don't you just say it directly?"
Yan Qing put down her chopsticks, pulled over a stool and sat next to Huo Beiting, resting her head on his shoulder, holding the chopsticks in one hand and kneading his hand on his knee with the other.
"Um."
Huo Beiting lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. After all, it was the first time he did such a thing, so it was inevitable that he was not quite used to it.
"I'm always available. My company doesn't need me for anything. I didn't hire those people for free. It's boring just to watch them there every day! In that case, let's go shopping together tomorrow. I can buy you a couple of clothes."
As she spoke, Yan Qing stretched and leaned back, unconsciously revealing her beautiful figure. Huo Beiting couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
He didn't dare to look into Yan Qing's eyes, for fear that she would discover something wrong, so he quickly grabbed the bowl and chopsticks and desperately stuffed rice into his mouth.
"By the way, let's go for a walk tonight, Wang Yuan. We've been wandering around the neighborhood these past few days, but it's getting boring. When I came back tonight, they told me there's a small park nearby that's pretty nice."
Huo Beiting didn't take anything Yan Qing said to heart, he just responded with "yes" and "ah".
After dinner, Huo Beiting quickly walked into the kitchen, as if he was avoiding Yan Qing, which made her feel confused.
After dinner, Yan Qing simply tidied up and was about to ask Huo Beiting to go out for a walk together, but when she turned around, she only saw Huo Beiting's back.
Yan Qing blinked in confusion and tilted her head. She felt that he looked a little strange tonight.
Without anyone to walk and chat with, Yan Qing felt bored alone, so she changed her clothes and went back to the bedroom.
