Chapter 117 Birthday Gift
Chapter 117 Birthday Gift
Liu Dandan looked at Bai Nini in front of her, only to see her stuttering and incoherent. She couldn't help but find it very amusing, and asked with a smile: "Hey, Nini, isn't your reaction a bit exaggerated? It's just a confession, are you so scared that you can't even speak clearly? Besides, didn't you realize that Qian Yi was interested in you before?"
Bai Nini shook her head vigorously, her face full of disbelief, and said, "Really not! Senior is really nice to me and always takes care of me, but I never thought he would like me! No, I have to go find him and explain it to him face to face!"
Seeing this, Liu Dandan asked with concern: "Nini, do you want me to go with you? In case anything happens, it will be good to have someone to help you."
Bai Nini bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then replied, "No need, Dandan. If you go with me, the senior might feel embarrassed. Don't worry, I know how to handle this matter!"
After saying this, Bai Nini turned and walked towards the lake on campus. It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a beautiful light on the shimmering surface of the lake. Qian Yi, on the other hand, was standing quietly by the lake, lost in thought, seemingly lost in thought.
Bai Nini took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to walk up to Qian Yi, and then handed him the exquisite gift box in her hand, saying softly, "Senior, I'm sorry, actually... I already have a boyfriend, so I really can't accept such an expensive gift. Thank you for your kindness, but I hope you can understand."
Hearing this, Qian Yi's expression changed instantly, but he quickly regained his composure and returned to his usual gentle smile. He scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Oh, it seems I wasn't thoughtful enough. In that case, I'll take this gift back!"
However, only Qian Yi himself knew that his heart was filled with bitterness and loss. The bracelet originally represented his wish to be tied to Bai Nini for life, but now it was ruthlessly rejected.
But even so, he still couldn't take back his love for Bai Nini. He secretly made up his mind that even if they couldn't be lovers, he would still silently guard her side, as long as she was happy.
Two days later, sunlight filtered through the slits in the curtains onto Bai Nini's bed, gently waking her from her slumber. Today was a special day—her birthday. Bai Nini stretched, excitedly anticipating the surprises that day would hold.
At that moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. Bai Nini answered the phone, somewhat puzzled. She ran to open the door, where a courier stood, holding a large package. "Hello, are you Ms. Bai Nini? Here's a package from abroad that needs your signature."
Bai Nini nodded quickly. After taking the package, she immediately saw the address of the University of Sydney, Australia, printed on it. Her lips couldn't help but curl up, her heart filled with joy and emotion. Because she knew that this must be a birthday gift from Qin Nuo.
Back in her room, Bai Nini carefully unwrapped the package. As the wrapping paper peeled back layer by layer, an exquisite box gradually appeared before her. The surface of the box was inlaid with tiny crystals, emitting a charming glow.
Bai Nini excitedly opened the box, and inside was a set of exquisite jewelry neatly arranged: a dazzling necklace and a sparkling bracelet. However, when she looked at the compartment where the ring was placed, she found it was empty.
Just when Bai Nini was feeling a little lost, a card caught her eye. On it was written Qin Nuo's flamboyant handwriting: "My princess! Happy birthday! I'll personally put the ring on you when I return home! If you accept my jewelry, you can't accept other boys'! I love you!"
Seeing these warm words, Bai Nini's face suddenly turned red, as if it could drip blood. She gently picked up the necklace and bracelet and looked at them carefully. Each gem sparkled with a unique brilliance, as if telling of Qin Nuo's deep love for her.
After a long time, Bai Nini reluctantly put the necklace and bracelet back into the box, then carefully placed the box on the bedside, as if this would allow this sweet thought to accompany her at all times. At this moment, she couldn't wait for Qin Nuo to return home as soon as possible so that he could personally put the ring that symbolized eternal love on her finger.
Bai Nini thought for a moment, then carefully took out the exquisite jewelry boxes and looked at them. After a long while, she gently closed the lid and placed it deep in the desk drawer. At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang, and Qin Nuo's familiar name flashed on the screen.
Bai Nini happily answered the phone, but before she could say anything, Qin Nuo's cheerful and eager voice came from the other end: "Nini! Happy birthday! Today is a special day! You must video chat with me tonight! Oh, and don't forget to wear the necklace and bracelet I gave you!"
Hearing this, Bai Nini couldn't help but pout and act coquettishly: "Oh, I've already put them away. These things are really too valuable. If I wear them outside, it will be so conspicuous!"
Qin Nuo's clear and pleasant laughter came from the receiver: "Conspicuous? No, I specially picked out the most delicate and exquisite style for you. Put it on quickly, okay? Wear it for me tonight and see it!"
Bai Nini said coquettishly, a little embarrassedly: "Huh, what's so good about it!"
However, Qin Nuo was like coaxing a child, his mouth as sweet as honey, saying non-stop: "How can it not look good? My Nini is the most beautiful girl in the world! No matter what she wears, she will be as beautiful as a fairy! So, be good and be obedient, and make sure to wear it tonight so I can take a good look at it!"
Night fell quickly, shrouding the entire world in darkness in an instant. Just then, Qin Nuo's video chat request arrived. Bai Nini, like a frightened little rabbit, hurried to the dormitory balcony.
She was in such a hurry because she was afraid that her roommates, who were absorbed in watching idol dramas in the house and occasionally screaming and laughing, would hear their conversation.
When Bai Nini finally stood on the balcony, she took a deep breath and connected the video call. Qin Nuo's handsome face instantly appeared on the phone screen.
He raised his thick and slender eyebrows slightly, with a hint of a smile on his lips, and asked curiously: "Nini, why did you run to the balcony alone? Could it be... you already knew what I was going to say?"
