Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 20 Lu Mingfei (VII)
"Why are you giving me this?" Lu Mingfei held the box carefully as if she were holding an imperial edict. She had not received any decent gifts since she moved in with her aunt. Her uncle and aunt would never make a big fuss for her on her birthday by making a mousse cake full of candles. At most, her uncle would secretly hand her a shopping card worth one hundred yuan.
It was impossible to say that she was not excited, but she was not to the point of kneeling down and kowtow to Master Chu out of gratitude. She just didn't expect that she had any virtue to receive a gift from Chu Zihang. Coupled with Chu Zihang's indifferent expression as if giving a gift to his death, Lu Mingfei always felt that this gift might contain her last dinner.
"If you hadn't stopped me at that time, I wouldn't be standing here now," said Chu Zihang.
"So this is really a thank you gift?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
“I guess so.” Chu Zihang nodded, a dim light flashing in the depths of his pupils. “In fact, I wish I had turned back at that time, but I can’t implicate people who have nothing to do with me. I have no way of judging whether the final choice was right or wrong. The only thing I can do is to remember that moment... and look to the future.”
Lu Mingfei clapped silently in her heart, he was worthy of being my senior brother, he was able to cheer up so quickly, it was just that the declaration was too serious so it sounded like a young pioneer giving a speech on stage, with a look on his face that said I just paid my party dues and was planning to die heroically.
"Brother, are you going to Kassel?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Yes, but the problem is that I can't find any records about this Cassell College on the Internet. It sounds like a school. The only similarity is a website called Cassell, but that website requires a username and password to enter."
Complaining at this time may be disrespectful to the deceased, but Lu Mingfei still feels that Chu Tianjiao is not a fighting saint in essence, but a big man with a lot of dirty talk in his heart. He is not reliable at all. He keeps talking about Kassel Kassel, but never says what kind of place it is or how to find it.
"But I will keep looking, I hope you like it." Chu Zihang said again, and left with the scoreboard.
His personality has always been like this. Students who are familiar with our school's Onii-chan know that this person never says any extra nonsense. If he takes the initiative to look for you, it means he has something, and he will leave after he finishes talking without wasting a second.
It looks a bit impolite...but when paired with that cool and handsome face, it will only make girls fall in love with him.
At this time, there was also a girl named Lu Mingfei on the playground who was feeling excited, but she was not feeling love, but was thinking about the things in the box that she had not yet returned.
Chu Zihang said that this was a gift of thanks, but Lu Mingfei felt that she did not deserve it. Anyone in that situation would subconsciously stop Chu Zihang from going out to die. This is human nature.
If she refused in person, it would be somewhat hurtful. Lu Mingfei had no choice but to check the price first and then return something of equal value to Chu Zihang in the future.
"Don't you want to open it and take a look?" Chu Zihang walked away, and Chen Wenwen turned her gaze to the box.
"...You should do it. I'm afraid of blinding my 24K krypton gold dog eyes." Lu Mingfei turned her head to the side and handed the box out forcefully.
"Are you thinking about checking the price in the future and giving Chu Zihang a gift in return?"
"How did you know?" Lu Mingfei was surprised.
"You can tell from your expression. You are the first person I have ever seen who accepts a gift from someone else with a bitter and unhappy face. If I were Chu Zihang, I would think you are disdaining me."
A bolt of lightning struck Lu Mingfei's forehead. She felt like a flock of crows flew over her head, leaving a string of exclamation marks...
"I didn't mean that! I was just flattered by Chu Zihang's gift!"
"That depends on what Chu Zihang thinks. In any case, I advise you to give up the idea of giving something in return. Chu Zihang won't accept it. He has given gifts to people who helped him before, but that girl only gave him a handwritten thank-you letter in return, and he didn't even accept it."
Chen Wenwen opened the gift box. In fact, she was also very curious about what Chu Zihang would give to Lu Mingfei. From the conversation just now, it seemed that Chu Zihang owed Lu Mingfei a favor, so this gift might be valuable.
A rose-red hairband lay quietly on the white velvet cloth, with a black border around the edge. If you look closely, you will find that it is a dark gold thread. From Lu Mingfei's point of view, this is an extremely simple hairband, something that can be found in any girl's drawer. You can probably buy three for ten yuan on the street, and the box used to package it is probably more expensive than it.
Lu Mingfei was amused when she saw it, thinking that Chu Zihang was really understanding. He knew she was a poor dog, so he gave her something that a poor dog could use. It would be too easy to repay this favor. Just treat her to a spicy hot pot on the street! I just don't know if Master Chu would be willing to condescend to stand with her under the smoky fan of the food stall and share a six-dollar spicy hot pot.
"This headband is really simple." Lu Mingfei picked up the headband, took off the rubber band she used to tie her hair, and tied a horizontal bow with the headband.
Make the best use of things. She didn't think the things Chu Zihang gave her had any important meaning. She couldn't just use an incense burner to worship it. Aren't headbands used to tie hair?
"Maybe it just looks plain..." Chen Wenwen's face was heavy, which made Lu Mingfei feel a little uneasy.
Chen Wenwen turned the box over and saw the words LOUIS VUITTON clearly written on the gold-plated pattern.
Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat. Even a poor person like her could understand this string of English words: Louis Vuitton, the LV that every Chinese person has heard of.
"How much does this cost..." Lu Mingfei asked weakly.
"2,400 yuan." Chen Wenwen held Lu Mingfei tightly, "Are you okay?"
"My feet... my feet are numb." Lu Mingfei had a sad face and began to calculate how many times she would have to play StarCraft 2 to earn back the money. The most expensive clothes she had ever worn in her life were probably the British school uniform of Shilan Middle School. A headband of 2,400 yuan was more expensive than the initial price of PS2!
Master Chu, you are just a domineering CEO who is here to play with innocent girls, right? You are really thoughtful! ... So thoughtful that you bought a gift with a logo hidden under the box for fear of being rejected!
What Lu Mingfei didn't know was that Chu Zihang didn't know how much the headband cost. He wanted to give Lu Mingfei a gift as a thank you, but he didn't know what a girl would like, so he simply asked his mother. When his mother heard that her son was going to give a girl a gift, her eyes lit up on the spot, and she patted her chest and said, "Son, don't worry, I'll take care of it. I guarantee that the girl will find it useful and like it very much. It's easy for you to get it!"
So when she left early this morning, Mother Chu stuffed the box into Chu Zihang's backpack, and before leaving, she didn't forget to give him a thumbs up and a hot kiss. Aunt Tong, the maid at home, saw Mother Chu's beaming with joy and couldn't help asking what happy news she was so happy about. Mother Chu twisted her hips and said, "My son is going to bring me a daughter-in-law soon! I'll tell his father about this!"
