Rebirth in the 90s: Pack up and prepare for demolition

Chapter 124 I Don’t Understand But I Listen

Zhou Zhizhi widened her eyes and asked in confusion, "You winked at us just now. What did you want to do?"

Zhou Zhizhi didn't understand.

Just now when Lin Shuwan invited them to go wash up together, Ye Ke stood behind Lin Shuwan and shook his head frantically, blinking constantly to signal. Only then did everyone find an excuse to refuse Lin Shuwan.

But she still didn't understand why.

Lin Mo understood what he meant at this moment, "You want us to stay and discuss what housewarming gift to give Wanwan?"

After all, Lin Mo is an entrepreneur, so she can understand the ways of the world when it comes to interpersonal relationships.

Zhou Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly realized: "That's right!"

Even though she is already in college, she still plays the role of a child at home. Her parents are the ones who socialize with relatives and friends, and of course they are also responsible for delivering gifts.

As the invited guest, he was completely taken aback for a moment. Fortunately, Ye Ke reminded him, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing to show up empty-handed.

Zhou Zhizhi made a bitter face: "Then what should I give?"

For a moment, she was completely confused. She held her chin with both hands, feeling a little worried.

Ye Ke quickly glanced at Wang Xi, who looked troubled, and said to Zhou Zhizhi, "I was thinking, why don't we raise some money together and buy her a shawl? The one she's been thinking about buying for the holidays these past few days."

Lin Shuwan loves dressing up and pursuing fashion. A few days ago, she was looking at a magazine and she had her eye on a reasonably priced shawl. Busy with classes and renovations, she hadn't had time to go shopping, so the shawl is still on her shopping list.

but......

"That shopping mall is in Dongcheng District, a bit far from the school. Is there anyone who is free tomorrow who can help run errands? Those who contribute more effort will be paid less." Ye Ke added.

Wang Xi's nervous mood instantly relaxed, and he raised his hand and said, "I'll go! I only have one class tomorrow afternoon."

When Ye Kegang started to discuss giving Lin Shuwan a gift, she felt a little embarrassed and...awkward.

It's not that she doesn't want to send it to Lin Shuwan, but the living expenses her family gives her every month are only enough to maintain her three meals a day. If she adds this expense, she will have to use the money she has saved with great difficulty.

And since it was a gift, it couldn't be just a two or three dollar gift, right? She couldn't afford something more expensive.

After mentioning Ye Ke's proposal, Wang Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone was sending a gift together, and she happened to have time, so she could contribute more.

Ye Ke nodded and said, "Okay, is there anyone else who wants to contribute? If not, then let Wang Xi take over."

Everyone understood and expressed their agreement.

The shawl was priced at 112 yuan. After getting everyone's consent, the remaining four people each contributed 26 yuan. Wang Xi was responsible for running errands to purchase it, so he only had to contribute 8 yuan.

On the day of the barbecue party, Lin Shuwan started reminding everyone from the moment she got up early in the morning, fearing that someone would forget.

After lunch, Ye Ke urged Lin Shuwan to go to the villa to prepare first, and they would go there after class.

Lin Shuwan didn't understand but obeyed.

After class, Ye Ke and the other two hurried back to the dormitory to reunite with Lin Mo and Wang Xi.

Ye Ke was stunned for a moment when he saw the gift box Wang Xi handed over. "What is this?"

The gift box now was completely different from the one she bought yesterday. It was wrapped in a layer of light pink wrapping paper and had a big bow on the upper right corner.

Because the color is not gaudy and the packaging is exquisite, the packaging looks quite high-end and cute.

Wang Xi blushed and said embarrassedly, "I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I packed it."

He glanced at everyone's faces again and whispered, "If you think it doesn't look good, you can still tear it down."

Zhou Zhizhi immediately stood up to express her support: "How could it be! It's so beautiful! I love it! Wanwan will like it too!"

Ye Ke realized that she might feel embarrassed because she had paid too little, so she wanted to do more.

She handed the gift box back to Wang Xi. "It's very thoughtful. We hadn't thought of it before. You can give it to Wanwan in person later."

Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, as if Ye Ke's words were unexpected, and she looked at the others.

The others also agreed. They saw the uneasiness in Wang Xi's heart. Although this gift was bought by everyone together, someone had to give it to Lin Shuwan, and it didn't matter who did it.

When Wang Xi handed the gift box to Lin Shuwan, he blushed and said excitedly, "Wanwan, this is a gift we all bought for you."

Lin Shuwan covered her mouth in surprise, then reached out to take it with a look of joy on her face: "Oh my God! Thank you!"

She comes from a wealthy family and is used to receiving gifts on her birthday and holidays, but she was still excited about this unexpected surprise.

Lin Shuwan held the gift box carefully and led everyone to the garden in the backyard.

There was a middle-aged woman in the yard busy sorting out the ingredients. Lin Shuwan brought everyone to her and introduced them: "This is my aunt Zhang, and these are my roommates..."

After Lin Shuwan introduced everyone one by one, she asked everyone to take a seat. Aunt Zhang said something to her and went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.

After Zhou Zhizhi sat down, she looked around and excitedly praised Lin Shuwan, "Wanwan! Your garden is so beautiful! It's like a fairyland!"

They came as soon as the get out of class was over. It was not yet dark. The setting sun turned the sky red, covering the garden with a golden gauze like a cicada's wing, making the already colorful garden even more dazzling.

Ye Ke had been here many times during the renovation and was used to it. The others were immersed in the beautiful scenery and didn't even hear Lin Shuwan's questions.

"Can I open my presents now?"

Lin Shuwan's eyes sparkled, and she was obviously impatient!

Ye Ke leaned back, relaxed in the chair, and waved his hand to signal Lin Shuwan to do as she pleased.

This is just a small gathering among friends. There is no need to pay attention to etiquette. Just have fun the way you want.

Lin Shuwan cheered and began to open the gift box. Looking at the exquisite wrapping paper outside, she was reluctant to tear it up. She carefully found the joint and gently separated it.

When Lin Shuwan opened the packaging and saw the logo on the box, she had some vague guesses in her mind. When she opened the box, it was true!

Lin Shuwan exclaimed, "It's the shawl I've always wanted to buy! Ah! I love it so much!"

Lin Shuwan took out the shawl with surprise and put it on her shoulders. She turned around in front of everyone confidently and proudly, with a bright smile on her face, showing her joy at receiving this gift.

Lin Shuwan's straightforward love warmed the hearts of those who gave her gifts.

It is a different kind of satisfaction to have your thoughts loved and cherished by others.
