Chapter 220: Chapter 50 Gift_2 Chapter 220: Chapter 50 Gift_2 Zhou Duanyun, Ji Lin, Ji Xinshui…
none of you can escape!
“Let’s adjourn.”
Ji Lin stood up and ended the eting.
…
Evening.
On the outskirts of Donghai City, by the university town, Linhu Villa district.
Ji Lin’s driver drove Lin Xian and Ji Lin in a black business car to the front door of Chu Anqing’s villa.
...
“What a coincidence, I really didn’t expect it to be here.”
Ji Lin looked at the familiar route ho:
“I live here too.”
“You live here too?”
Lin Xian rolled down the car window, looking at the scenic villa area; living here must be extrely comfortable, it’s just a little far from the urban area.
Chu Anqing had told Lin Xian through WeChat ssages that this villa was a coming-of-age gift from Chu Shanhe.
However, for safety reasons, she was not allowed to live here alone but was permitted to use it to host birthday parties for classmates or to hang out and have tea with classmates during normal tis.
But she must return ho or to the dormitory on ti at night!
In terms of curfew, Chu Shanhe’s rules were quite strict.
“I live in that one.”
Ji Lin pointed to a villa through the window for Lin Xian to see.
“6.”
Confronted by two peers who were a few years younger than himself, each owning a villa by Linhu, Lin Xian could only single out a “6”.
Although Lin Xian also had the capability to pay in full for a villa now, once that full paynt was made…
his pockets would be emptied.
He still had to invite Liu Feng over to set up his laboratory; it was better to save money where he could.
Or…
Once he resolves the imminent crisis, perhaps he could plagiarize so useful technological products from his dreams.
Maybe he could even collaborate with official authorities, getting a laboratory for Liu Feng for free without spending a penny.
But that’s a story for another day.
The current ga of cat and mouse was not over yet; he couldn’t afford to be careless, especially since…
Lin Xian had a feeling that the real battle might be about to begin.
Pushing open the mahogany double doors of Chu Anqing’s villa—
“Welco, welco!
Welco, Senior!”
“Wow!
It’s really Ji Lin!
Teacher Ji Lin is really here!”
The arrival of Lin Xian and Ji Lin set off a wave of cheers among the East Sea University junior girls who had been waiting in the villa.
When Chu Anqing initially inford them that Lin Xian would attend her birthday party, they were all excited at the prospect of eting this legendary senior.
But!
When they heard that the popular mystery author, the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Original Screenplay, and the young, brooding, and handso Ji Lin was also coming!
Their screams nearly pierced through the classroom floors!
To them, eting Ji Lin was far more thrilling than eting Lin Xian; he was a god-like figure who rarely ventured into the public eye!
So, they sward around, asking for autographs with books in hand and selfies with their phones.
“Hehe, Senior Lin Xian, I cooked the als myself today!”
Chu Anqing, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, walked out from the kitchen, looking quite capable:
“I’ve learned lots of signature dishes from my mother, and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!”
The house was not too crowded, with only Chu Anqing’s friends from school and so from high school, all girls, totaling seven or eight.
Adding Lin Xian and Ji Lin, the small birthday gathering amounted to just 10 people.
It was not a large gathering, but the smaller size had its advantages as it allowed for more intimate conversations.
Soon, the food was served, and the large birthday cake, with lit candles, was brought out.
Lights off.
The birthday party officially began.
Amid the birthday song and well-wishes from everyone, Chu Anqing made her 19th birthday wish in the flickering candlelight and blew out all the candles in one breath.
“I hope everyone’s life gets better and better!
Long live our friendship!”
Chu Anqing happily cut the cake and handed the first piece to Ji Lin across the table:
“Ji Lin, I’m so glad to know you!
You have to invite to your birthday party!”
“Of course,” Ji Lin said with a smile, taking the cake and placing it in front of him:
“I’m honored to join you.”
“I want to go too!” “Can we co to eat?” “Teacher Ji Lin!
Let us co too!”
The girls of this age probably couldn’t get over Ji Lin’s looks and charisma.
To them, Ji Lin was like playing at a different level.
“Of course, everyone is welco.”
Ji Lin didn’t seem too adept at dealing with girls, mostly nodding desperately in agreent to their requests.
Then, it was ti for gift-giving.
Everyone had different presents to give, and Chu Anqing opened each one in front of everyone, expressing delight for each one.
Lin Xian gave an LV collaboration handbag.
He didn’t know what to buy and truly didn’t know what kind of gift to give a 19-year-old girl, so he simply went with the salesperson’s recomndation.
Sigh.
Giving gifts to girls is truly a conundrum, a profound art.
Recalling the night before the Chinese New Year, the night a Bentley flew over the overpass and Zhao Yingjun crossed into her 24th birthday…
he offered Zhao Yingjun the bruised bouquet from a crashed car door as her birthday gift.
Thinking back, it was quite awkward.
But at that mont, it felt like he needed to give a birthday gift, and given the circumstances…
he could only resort to offering the bouquet.
“This is my gift.”
Ji Lin took out a rectangular fra, wrapped in colored paper, from behind him.
It was not clear what was mounted inside, but it looked like a painting.
“Hmm?”
Lin Xian was sowhat surprised and whispered to Ji Lin:
“Didn’t you buy a hat…”
The gifts they had chosen were both recomnded by the salesperson, neither was cheap, and both were from prominent brands.
