"Hey."
However, upon seeing Lin Tian, Gan Yanyu seed quite pleased.
"Not bad, Lin Tian."
Gan Yanyu jogged up to him, grabbed Lin Tian’s arm, and pulled him in front of the full-length mirror.
Once Lin Tian saw his reflection, he was stunned.
I have to say, really have to say.
While the clothes looked just average on their own.
But standing next to the little Chinese girl, Gan Yanyu, because the colors were similar, and their faces already had a bit of that couple vibe... they unexpectedly matched very well.
This matching had no other implications.
It was purely from an aesthetic standpoint, it just felt appropriate.
Though when he wore it alone, Lin Tian felt pretty silly.
It’s like Lin Tian always thought when appreciating small films, it had to be a slimr person; it looked more appealing, giving a sense of purity.
People are just like that; they like watching pure types in small films and prefer voluptuous types in serious movies.
But when it cos to actual action scenes in small films, the skinny ones are completely unappealing, while the one you always thought had too much at looks more compatible with the movie’s leading man, looking more satisfying in every way.
"Isn’t it, isn’t it?"
Gan Yanyu’s eyes curved into crescents.
"Yeah, yeah."
Lin Tian smiled helplessly, not knowing why Gan Yanyu insisted on being so particular about clothing.
At so point,
Lin Tian began to feel like so of his mories were frozen.
He vaguely rembered that Gan Yanyu actually didn’t have that many clothes, and the frequency of her wearing dresses was quite low.
In the early days, there was even a long period when the school uniform was her basic skin.
"...."
Since the clothes weren’t an issue, it was ti to take action.
The two of them set off.
They carried a sack of stuff and planned to start delivering from the fifth floor.
This thod of gifting had its reasoning.
Both Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s hos were on the 6th floor, which was also the top floor.
Theoretically, those who would be affected by them on a regular day were the neighbors in the two adjacent rooms on each side, and the tenants directly below them.
The more scientific way was to gift these five households, making it ten in total when combining Lin Tian’s and Gan Yanyu’s families.
Beyond that, the impact was actually quite limited, as they rarely practiced at odd hours.
But Gan Yanyu felt.
Since they were giving gifts, it wasn’t good to be picky or selective about it.
If they were going to give gifts, they should give to every neighbor on the floor.
So they decided to visit all the neighbors on both the fifth and sixth floors!
Aiming for fairness and wide-spread kindness!
Those neighbors who were significantly affected, they would give a little more!
With this belief, they started.
Lin Tian initially thought this would be an infernal social scenario, given the age gap, not to ntion how bizarre things were.
But, to Lin Tian’s surprise.
They knocked on doors one by one, and those who opened the door were mostly the elderly, but also so young couples, university students likely renting short-term because of the cheap rent.
When the doors opened.
What greeted them was a composed-looking young man and a girl with an angelic smile.
Smiling and greeting them.
Seeing such a scene, almost everyone imdiately dropped their guard.
Then, from everyone’s perspective.
The two of them, like Santa Claus, took out all sorts of things from their red sack, chatting warmly with everyone.
"Hi! We live in 603!"
"Sorry for all the disturbances before!"
"Hope our music hasn’t caused you too much trouble!"
"Happy New Year!!"
.....
The lively and bright girl infected everyone who opened their doors with her smile.
Those who received gifts were either suddenly enlightened, "Oh, so you’re the ones with the piano and cello!" "No disturbance, it sounds wonderful!" "Wow, didn’t expect it to be such adorable kids....."
Or, they were both happy and puzzled, "Ah, you haven’t disturbed us." "We’ve heard the music, but it’s rare." "We can’t accept this!"
Then, under Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s persistent urging, they reluctantly accepted the gifts.
During this process, what surprised Lin Tian most was the neighbors’ reactions after accepting the gifts.
Almost everyone, when the two of them were packing up their stuff, would stop them at the door, saying: "You wait!"
Then, they went back inside.
When they ca out again, so brought milk, so brought fruit.....
And one kind old lady even stuffed a red envelope into Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s hands:
"Thank you, kids, happy new year!"
"....."
No matter how much Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu refused to accept it, ultimately, they couldn’t resist people’s enthusiasm.
They accepted these various things.
Just like their New Year’s goods, they wouldn’t allow others to refuse them either.
"It’s the New Year, gifts should be reciprocated."
An auntie said with a smile.
.....
By the ti Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu finally delivered all the gifts, their sack was no less full than before they started.
It was filled with New Year blessings from the neighbors.
"..."
Standing in the corridor, looking at the red envelope given by the old lady, Lin Tian was still in a daze.
Since he was a child, he knew that during the New Year, children could receive New Year money from elders.
But after so many years, apart from Sir Gan, this was the only ti Lin Tian had received a New Year’s red envelope.....
"Actually, people are friendlier than we imagine, aren’t they?"
Gan Yanyu leaned on the railing, smiling lightly.
