Right, isn’t this Liu Jingling in front of also a girl? Girls should generally know what other girls like, right?
Upon hearing Liu Jingling’s question, a spark suddenly flashed through Xiao Yi’s mind, and he slapped his thigh, his thoughts racing. Without further hesitation, he looked at Liu Jingling with eyes full of hope, earnestly saying, "Miss Liu, there’s sothing I want to ask for your help with."
"Mr. Xiao has saved my life, and I would go through fire and water for anything he needs, as long as it is within my capabilities," Liu Jingling responded.
Seeing the sincere look in Xiao Yi’s eyes, Liu Jingling felt a surge of ecstatic gratitude at the chance to repay Xiao Yi, to help him, to slightly return the favor. She knew that she had been staying here for a while, receiving diligent dical treatnt from Xiao Yi, not to ntion eating his food and living at his expense. This made Liu Jingling, who had always prided herself on her independence and rarely owed anyone anything, feel rather uncomfortable.
However, at the sa ti, her heart skipped a beat with anxiety. She wondered what kind of favor Xiao Yi was asking for, whether she would be capable of it. After all, having interacted with him for so ti now, she found her estimation of Xiao Yi to be unfathomable.
Especially since she had discovered that a security guard at the door, who was also in the Bone Tempering Period, treated Xiao Yi with utmost respect, practically revering him like a deity. How could soone who commanded such respect from a Bone Tempering Period expert, and possessed mysterious and powerful dical skills, not be unfathomable? If he was so unfathomable, and even she couldn’t read him, could she really be of help?
"The matter isn’t that serious, Miss Liu will definitely be able to help," Xiao Yi said, with a wave of his hand and a sincere look in his eyes, he went straight to the point. "Miss Liu, you are also a girl, you can certainly help ."
Hmm?
Just when Liu Jingling had relaxed upon hearing Xiao Yi speak so lightly and casually, as if the matter were simple, she tensed up again when she heard the latter half of his sentence.
What does he an?
Girls can definitely help?
"Miss Liu, don’t misunderstand. I just want to ask you, what kinds of gifts do girls generally like?"
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, seeing the strange expression on Liu Jingling’s face, he suddenly realized that his words might not have been clear and could easily cause misunderstanding. His face turned slightly red as he quickly explained.
"Ah? So the help you needed was just this?"
Hearing that the help Xiao Yi wanted was rely this, a peculiar expression crossed Liu Jingling’s face once more.
This unfathomable guy, was he frowning just now, all because of this? Wanting to buy a gift for a girl?
"Yes, I’ve never given a girl a present before, and really have no idea what kind of gifts girls generally prefer, haha."
Xiao Yi chuckled, sowhat embarrassedly.
"This gift, it’s for Mr. Xiao’s sweetheart, isn’t it?"
Seeing the shy expression on Xiao Yi’s face, Liu Jingling felt a twinge of sourness in her heart, while her mind couldn’t help but speculate about the kind of girl Xiao Yi intended to give the gift to.
"No, it’s for a friend’s daughter."
Xiao Yi hastily shook his head, explaining.
"Oh, I see. How old is your friend’s daughter? What kind of personality does she have?"
For so reason, when Liu Jingling heard that the gift wasn’t for a sweetheart but for a friend’s daughter, she felt a sudden lightness of heart as she looked at Xiao Yi.
"Around sixteen years old, currently in high school. As for her personality, well, she’s sowhat introverted, and sowhat extroverted I guess, haha. I’m not too sure myself."
Xiao Yi didn’t notice the change in Liu Jingling’s tone or expression and pondered her question. After thinking for a mont, he realized that he indeed didn’t know much about Chen Xue, neither her exact age nor her personality. He felt a tinge of guilt, believing he had paid too little attention to Chen Jianguo and his daughter.
"Well, she’s still in school. Hmm, I’m not quite sure myself, I don’t know what young girls these days like either."
Liu Jingling had assud that Xiao Yi’s friend’s daughter must be around ten or even younger but was surprised to learn she was already a high school student. She showed a hint of astonishnt but didn’t ask further and instead thought seriously. However, after thinking for a mont, she realized she was unsure and apologetically looked at Xiao Yi.
"Oh, I see," Xiao Yi said, his face revealing a hint of disappointnt when he heard that Liu Jingling also didn’t know.
"Mr. Xiao, I’m really sorry that I can’t even help you with such a simple request. The thing is... I never went to school myself, so I really... don’t dare to speak carelessly."
Seeing the look of disappointnt on Xiao Yi’s face, Liu Jingling suddenly felt guilty. He had taken great risks and put in so much effort to save and take care of her, not asking for anything in return. Yet, she couldn’t help him even with such a simple question.
"It’s okay, I’ll just think it through myself, haha."
Xiao Yi’s face showed a sense of relief as he waved his hand and continued to reflect.
"Mr. Xiao, although I don’t know what she might like, I think, generally speaking, all girls love to look beautiful. Maybe you could give her so nice costics, perfu, or sothing like that? Or perhaps bags, clothes?"
As Xiao Yi continued to frown in deep thought, Liu Jingling hesitated for a mont before offering these suggestions once again.
Costics?
Liu Jingling’s words, like a flash of lightning in the dark, montarily illuminated Xiao Yi’s heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welco to go to Qidian (qidian) to cast your votes for recomndation, and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
