Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 698 Young Man Admires 44

They gradually saw the warmth, friendliness and beauty of the world beneath the steel forest; Beiyun City was not as far away and out of reach as they had worried.

Zhang Dingrui made a lot of new friends, and occasionally, after getting Lingyao's consent, he would go out and play with his friends. During the holidays, he also participated in the summer camp organized by the school. When he came back, he brought a lot of souvenirs for Lingyao and Zhang Dingyu, which were his own pocket money.

The two brothers have one thing in common, which is that they don't like to spend money and have a strong sense of saving money.

The gifts he brought to Lingyao and Zhang Dingyu were two rabbit pendants of similar style, with only different ears, one was pink and the other was white.

It looks like...a couple's pair.

When Zhang Dingyu received this gift, she was filled with secret joy, and waves were rolling in her heart that no one knew about.

Lingyao had no objection, so one of the rabbits was hung on the car, while Zhang Dingyu hung the rabbit on his schoolbag.

Zhang Dingrui was very happy to see that his brother actually hung the rabbit on his schoolbag. He thought that his brother would definitely like the gift he gave him. He didn't expect that his brother liked such a plush pendant.

When Zhang Dingyu returned to the dormitory with the rabbit hanging on her neck, her roommates immediately cast gossipy glances at her.

"Wow, there's a rabbit hanging on the bag. Which girl picked this thorny rose in Room 302?" Chen Xin joked.

Zhao Xuan was not to be outdone: "Tomorrow, the girls will be heartbroken again when they see this very iconic rabbit."

Zhang Dingyu continued to be teased by them, and just like before, he always kept silent and pretended to be mute when talking about this topic.

Because during a chat in the dormitory one time, he couldn't help but say a few more words, and they found out that he already had someone he liked.

After that, Zhang Dingyu never dared to say a single word again.

The fact that he liked her was his own secret, and no one else could know it.

At least he couldn't let anyone know until he grew up enough to be recognized by others.

Zhang Dingyu and Zhang Dingrui’s birthdays are in March and July respectively.

Zhang Dingyu's birthday was coming up, and Lingyao asked him what he thought. In the end, she listened to his advice and decided to celebrate it at home.

The decorated cake was delicate and beautiful. As far as Zhang Dingyu could remember, the last time he had a birthday cake was when he was five or six years old. He could not remember the specific scene or what the cake looked like.

He only knew that the cream tasted very sweet, so sweet that he would miss it on every birthday after his parents passed away. As he missed it, even the taste of the cream was diluted by the repeated washing of memories and gradually disappeared.

However, this year, in Beiyun City, beside her, he recalled the taste of the cream again.

The cream is soft and smooth. When you take a bite, it melts spontaneously on the tip of your tongue. The sweet taste crawls from the tip of your tongue to the tip of your heart. Zhang Dingyu's eyes couldn't help but heat up, and he blinked quickly.

I took another bite of the cake, using the sweetness of the cake to dilute the bitterness in my throat.

After he finished eating the cake, he looked at Lingyao who was eating cake slowly across the candlelight. Suddenly, he turned around and took out two things from the schoolbag behind him.

An envelope bag and a bag with a gift box.

Zhang Dingyu placed the thing in front of Lingyao, his Adam's apple rolling, and he spoke out the speech he had recited countless times, word for word.

"This is my scholarship from last semester. This gift was bought with the money I earned from participating in two extracurricular competitions. Although I know you don't need anything, I still hope you can accept it... Just consider it as my birthday wish."

Lingyao picked up the envelope and gift box. She had heard about this scholarship from his class teacher before. The total amount of money, big and small, was nearly ten thousand yuan, and it felt heavy in her hands.

As for the gift box, Lingyao took it in her hand and asked Zhang Dingyu, "Can we open it now?"

Zhang Dingyu nodded rapidly, with a rare look of excitement on his face that was befitting of his age.

It was the first time he bought her a gift, or rather, the first time he bought her a gift with his own money. His heart felt like a little bird that had just learned to fly. Facing the open sky, it was looking forward to flapping its wings, yet also nervous.

Lingyao opened the gift box under the expectant gaze of Zhang Dingyu and curious gaze of Zhang Dingrui.

There was a bracelet in the box. It was not a fancy one. There was only a crystal clear bead hanging in the middle of the bracelet. The label and price of the bracelet had been cut off, but it didn't matter much because Lingyao knew the brand.

It’s a light luxury brand, a bracelet like this would cost around one or two thousand yuan.

It's rare. She would hesitate between 7 and 5 yuan when buying vegetables. It's not like Zhang Dingyu, who lives at all like a person of her age, would spend such a large sum of money to buy a bracelet.

In his value system, this is actually not worth it, but since he bought it for Lingyao, he not only thinks it is worth it, but also thinks that this bracelet is not suitable for her. Any of her clothes usually cost more than this price.

But this was indeed all the money Zhang Dingyu could come up with.

He pursed his lips. His palms were sweating due to nervousness. He sat in his seat and his fingertips unconsciously pinched his knuckles.

He didn't even dare to look up at Lingyao's face, for fear that she would find the gift undignified. Although Zhang Dingyu knew that she was not such a person, he still couldn't help feeling nervous.

His eyes only dared to fall on her snow-white fingers holding the gift.

Then he saw her open the gift and, without hesitation, take out the bracelet from the box and test it on her wrist. Under the light, her wrist was as white and slender as mutton-fat jade.

Her hands are more like a work of art than a bracelet.

Then, when Zhang Dingyu was still staring at the white spot in a daze, Lingyao placed her hand and the bracelet in front of her.

"Bring it to me."

Zhang Dingyu let out a confused "ah", then quickly responded after she came to her senses, took the bracelet and put it around her wrist.

His fingertips inevitably rubbed her skin, again and again. Zhang Dingyu's face felt like it was baked in an oven. He didn't even dare to breathe too heavily, for fear of being noticed by her.

The temperature on my face kept rising uncontrollably, and every touch of my fingers triggered an electric current that ran through my body and reached my scalp.

The more my heart beat, the more flustered my hands became. I tried several times to fasten the simple bracelet but failed.

Zhang Dingrui, who was watching nearby, couldn't help but lean over to take a look.

Finally, before Zhang Dingyu could no longer breathe and was about to suffocate and die, he managed to fasten the bracelet.

After making sure the bracelet was fastened, he immediately stepped back an arm's length like a catapult, with fresh oxygen flowing into his nostrils again.

Lingyao raised her eyes and looked at him: "Do I smell bad?"

Zhang Dingyu stuttered: "No, no."

"Then you look like you can't breathe because of the stench?" Lingyao couldn't help asking as she looked at Zhang Dingyu whose face was flushed red.

What is this God of Wealth doing?

She doesn't smell.

Zhang Dingyu had nothing to say.

He also wanted to say that she didn't stink, but was particularly fragrant, with that kind of faint, cold fragrance that penetrated into his pores like an addictive fragrance.

It made his mouth dry and made him afraid to get too close to her.
