[Qingyi: Actually, I don't really celebrate foreign holidays, but it's nice to join in the fun.]
[Yuechuan: How do you plan to spend your birthday?]
He was about to have enough points to exchange for a space-ti teleportation array, and he wanted to set a date with her.
[Qingyi: I'll probably have dinner with friends, go shopping, and sing at a karaoke place.]
[Yuechuan: Can I have your ti in the evening?]
[Qingyi: For the evening, have you prepared a surprise for ?]
[Yuechuan: You could say that.]
[Qingyi: Alright, I'll co ho early in the evening.]
[Yuechuan: I'll be waiting for you.]
Qingyi was quite looking forward to the surprise Qin Yuechuan had prepared.
Christmas happened to fall on a Saturday.
Early in the morning, Qingyi received a call from her best friend, Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn't good at academics, but she had an exceptional talent for music.
Her parents were very supportive of her desire to study music and had been nurturing her talent since she was young.
In high school, she took the art exam and got into the country's top-ranked music academy. Now, she had beco a singer with a small but growing fan base.
Especially after her recent appearance on a variety show, where she gained a large number of fans with her singing.
If it weren't for her poor dancing skills, she might have already debuted as part of a group.
"Qingyi, I'm already at your school gate. Co find quickly!" Jiang Xiaoxiao's crisp voice ca through the phone.
"You busy bee, how co you have ti to visit today?" Although they hadn't seen each other for a long ti, their friendship remained unaffected.
"I'm swamped with work now, so it's not easy for to co see you. Hurry up and co out, let's have breakfast together!"
Qingyi put on her coat, "Alright, wait for a bit. I'll be there soon."
When Qingyi found Jiang Xiaoxiao, she was wearing a snow-white wool coat and a fluffy khaki hat on her head.
A mask covered half of her face, and her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, slightly tousled by the wind.
"Finally, you're here. It's freezing out here, let's go!" Jiang Xiaoxiao slipped one hand into Qingyi's down jacket pocket.
The two walked side by side, just like old tis.
"Qingyi, I saw your brother's social dia post. He's got a girlfriend now?"
Qingyi nodded, "Mm-hmm."
"There are so many excellent young n at your university. Don't you have any thoughts about that?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.
Qingyi replied, "What thoughts could I have? By the way, you've had a taste of the entertainnt industry now. Any insights?"
Bringing up this topic, Jiang Xiaoxiao beca animated.
"My insight is that from now on, I'll stick to performing in musicals and won't participate in any more variety shows. Actually, those variety shows are all rigged."
"I used to think they were real when I watched them, but after actually participating, I realized it's all just a ga between capital interests."
"People like are clearly there just to be cannon fodder. I'm lucky I had so real talent and managed to gain so fans."
Qingyi suddenly rembered how Jiang Xiaoxiao used to talk about wanting to be a big star. It seed things had changed now.
"You're already very impressive. Keep working hard, and I'll definitely support your musicals!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'm going to beco the best musical theatre actress. Qingyi, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
"With my major, most graduates consider jobs in finance, maybe investnt banking." Qingyi was still a bit uncertain about her future career path.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Soone as excellent as you can go anywhere. If you can't find a job, you can always go back and inherit the family business."
"Our family doesn't need to inherit anything. Co on, let's go eat!" Qingyi led Jiang Xiaoxiao to a noodle shop just outside the school.
As soon as Qingyi walked in, she saw Song Jingyuan eating. He was wearing a black coat and had a cool, aloof air about him.
Qingyi and Jiang Xiaoxiao sat down not far from him.
Jiang Xiaoxiao excitedly poked Qingyi, "Qingyi, he's so handso! I'm going to ask for his WeChat."
Qingyi was about to say she knew him, but Jiang Xiaoxiao had already rushed to Song Jingyuan's side.
"Hello! Can we exchange WeChat contacts?"
Song Jingyuan looked up at Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Sorry, no."
Rejected by the handso guy, Jiang Xiaoxiao dejectedly sat down across from Qingyi, muttering softly.
"Sigh, he's very handso, but too cold. I'm quite a beauty myself, yet he rejected so heartlessly."
Qingyi pushed the noodles the waiter had just brought over to Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Alright, eat up."
"He's really an exceptionally handso guy. Do you think he already has a girlfriend?" Jiang Xiaoxiao mused.
Qingyi: "Probably not."
"Do you know him?" Jiang Xiaoxiao stared at Qingyi eagerly.
Qingyi nodded, "He's a senior at our school. I've t him a few tis."
"Xiaoxiao, if I rember correctly, don't you have a boyfriend?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao smacked her forehead, "If you hadn't ntioned it, I would have almost forgotten."
"In the future, don't end up in a long-distance relationship like . Having a boyfriend becos the sa as not having one."
"I don't even know what he's been up to lately. He doesn't contact , and I've almost forgotten he exists."
After finishing their al, the two went shopping together.
It being Christmas, the mall was beautifully decorated.
Qingyi and Jiang Xiaoxiao each held a cup of hot milk tea, sipping as they browsed. Before long, they were carrying several shopping bags.
"Qingyi, this watch is so beautiful!"
Qingyi looked at the watch Jiang Xiaoxiao was pointing at. The face was inlaid with pink diamonds, and it was indeed very beautiful. She felt a bit tempted.
Next to the pink diamond watch was a n's watch, very simple and elegant.
"Would you ladies like to take a look at these watches? They're a couple set, not sold separately."
Qingyi checked the price, which was within an acceptable range, but she didn't have a boyfriend, so why buy a couple set?
Jiang Xiaoxiao waved her hand decisively, "I'll take it."
Qingyi thought to herself, it's exhausting that even buying a watch these days ans getting a couple set.
Seeing Qingyi staring at the watch for a long ti, Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "Qingyi, if you like it, you can buy it too!"
Qingyi shook her head, "No, I won't."
"Your birthday is coming up soon, but I have rehearsals for the musical I'm performing in, so I might not have ti to celebrate with you."
"Since you like it, I bought one for you too. Consider it your birthday gift."
"It may seem a bit hasty, but given how close we are, we don't need to worry about such formalities."
Jiang Xiaoxiao gave Qingyi no chance to refuse. She had already handed her the watch packaged by the store clerk, then asked the clerk to prepare an identical one.
