Birthday gift

  Gu Cheng's song will certainly not allow someone to continue being a turtle hiding in its shell.

  The next morning when Zhao Zimo went out, he received a text message.

  "Today is my birthday, I want to receive gifts before 7 o'clock tonight."

  Zhao Zimo stared at the message for a long time, and only when she confirmed that the sender's name below the content was "extreme goods" did she quickly press "reply".

  The first reply is six o'clock.

  “……”

  After thinking about it, I think he may not be able to understand that these six points indicate she is speechless, so she retreated and replied again.

  The second reply was very straightforward.

  "Extremely good stuff, is this how you ask for gifts?"

  Isn't what ordinary people do supposed to be hinting and hinting again? Where is there anyone like him, it's simply imperative.

  But after sending it out, Zhao Zimo felt that his reply was too improper.

  Ji Pin is already her "official" boyfriend, asking for birthday gifts should be a matter of course, and the implication is too hypocritical. What if she doesn't understand it, wouldn't that be a waste of implication?

  Then replied again.

  "Why didn't you tell me earlier that today is your birthday!"

  Still sending, message prompt already exists.

  Gu Cheng Song replied: "I had already prepared a birthday gift for myself and thought about what I wanted to ask from you, but unfortunately, you gave me everything in advance a few days ago. I accepted it with a good attitude, so now you want to give another birthday gift."

  Zhao Zimo stared blankly at this slightly long message.

  A few days ago she gave it to him?

  Then threw six more points away.

  “……”

  Got a reply from Gu Cheng Song with a hint of good intention.

  "On the seventh day of the first month, in the afternoon, at the office, inside the office."

  Zhao Zimo: "......"

  Okay, she blushed again.

  That day at that time in that place something else could have happened, a confession of love, a soul-stirring first kiss...

  Suddenly, a thread of understanding floated up in his mind: Could it be that the ultimate goal was originally intended...

  That day, Ji Pin said: If you don't come today, then it must be on the first day of school at the latest. I can't wait any longer.

  So, the extreme product originally planned to confess on his birthday day and take having a formal girlfriend as a birthday gift for himself? Needless to say, what he originally intended to ask her for as a birthday gift was probably her first kiss...

  That is to say, the extreme "premeditation" was disrupted by her sudden confession.

  Alright, Zhao Zimo admitted that being plotted against was very annoying, but being plotted against by someone of high quality, that sweetness couldn't be described!

  So Zhao Zimo spent almost the whole day running around outside buying birthday gifts, but this one was too tacky and that one was too cheap, until nightfall, she still couldn't find a gift that she thought was satisfactory and suitable for him.

  Whatever he picks up, it seems to desecrate his temperament!

  Zhao Zimo stood at the intersection of the dazzling neon lights, feeling extremely disheartened.

  Extremely particular about receiving gifts before 7 o'clock, even if it's just a text message, the tone is unmistakable, now...

  Zhao Zimo took out his mobile phone.

  Half past seven!

  Good heavens, it's been over half an hour, will he get angry?

  The phone in his hand suddenly vibrated.

  Extremely good news!

  He definitely came over to question angrily.

  Zhao Zimo's eyes sank, and he answered the phone with a calm tone.

  "Where?"

  The voice on the other side was very calm, without anger, questioning or indignation.

  "Qing Shui Bai He Pedestrian Street, opposite Zhong Tian Shopping Mall."

  "Wait for me there."

  Zhao Zimo crouched down on the spot, his hands clasped around his knees, and his head hung low.

  The pedestrian street was closed to vehicles and about twenty minutes later, Gu Cheng Ge walked in under the neon lights.

  In the crowd, he is always eye-catching, passersby can't help but look back and measure him. He seems to be unaware of it, as if no one else exists, his pace is slightly faster than usual, walking straight towards the poor child who is squatting by the side of the road, looking pitiful and self-pitying.

  A pair of shiny leather shoes came into view, and Zhao Zimo slowly raised his head.

  Western-style pants, windbreaker, and then a face that is even more handsome and delicate under the neon lights.

  Zhao Zimo made a pitiful expression and cooperated with a depressed tone to actively confess: "I couldn't buy a suitable birthday gift..."

  Gu Cheng didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand towards her.

  Zhao Zimo hesitated for a moment before reaching out and grabbing it.

  A force pulled her up and she fell instantly into a warm embrace.

  Gu Cheng gently stroked her hair: "Silly Mo, you actively appearing in front of me today is the best birthday gift for me."

  Zhao Zimo: "......"

  Uh, can this also be considered a birthday gift? But now she's in front of him, but it wasn't her initiative...

  So she still didn't give him a birthday gift!

  "Gu Cheng continued to whisper in her ear: 'How many days have you been hiding from me...'"

  Zhao Zimo suddenly pushed him away: "Where did I hide from you? I'm really very busy, okay?"

  But her eyes...

  She frankly revealed her nervousness: she glanced east and west, but didn't dare look at him.

  Okay, she was still a bit awkward and embarrassed, after all, that day she couldn't have imagined that confessing would lead to such intimate behavior with him.

  Although she was clearly guilty, she still managed to put on a confident and innocent face, which was quite amusing. However, for now, it's best not to push her further, or else she might retreat again, and that would be a big loss for him.

  "Alright, you didn't hide." Ignoring her protesting gaze, he took her hand and said, "Let's go, we're going to the nursing home."

  "Nursing home?"

  "Ah, going to grandma's place." Neon lights reflected on his delicate features, beautiful eyes filled with warmth, "For the first time in ten years, grandma is preparing a birthday dinner for me."

  Zhao Zimo roughly understood the importance of the extreme product to his grandmother, and he hadn't accompanied Fu Nainai for a while either. Moreover, if they were alone together, she couldn't help but...

  Daydreaming about all sorts of beautiful scenery.

  So it's best to go to the nursing home to celebrate his birthday with him.

  It's not good if I don't prepare a birthday gift after all.

  Zhao Zimo leaned against the car window, deep in thought.

  "Stop! Stop!" she exclaimed suddenly.

  Gu Cheng followed her words and stopped by the side of the road. She had already rushed to a classic and elegant men's clothing store.

  He got off and followed him in.

  Zhao Zimo stood in front of a model wearing a light gray windbreaker, and the salesgirl was smiling as she promoted: "Miss, you really have good taste, this windbreaker is a new spring item this year, limited edition, our store only sells one piece..."

  Gu Cheng Ge walked past, and the shop assistant immediately observed his appearance: "Your boyfriend will be one of a kind in the world if he wears it."

  "Hmm, he's one of a kind even without clothes." Zhao Zimo retorted casually, but then turned around with great enthusiasm and grabbed the sleeve of Gu Chengge, who was raising an eyebrow. "Top quality, try on this piece of clothing, it's truly worth searching for everywhere."

  Gu Cheng glanced at her carelessly, and his eyes were still quite good.

  But accidentally glanced at the price...

  Gu Cheng's voice was flat: "No."

  "Isn't it?" Zhao Zimo's face fell, "Why? It's not expensive, only 288.88 yuan."

  The shop assistant opened her mouth and Customer Song had already smiled slightly: "Are you sure, just 288 yuan 80 cents?"

  Zhao Zimo looked at the price tag.

  Uh...

  Not cheap.

  If I buy it... won't it seem like I'm... After all, when there's too much money involved in a relationship, it becomes too...

  But if I regret it, won't I look very unrefined?

  "That's also...not very expensive, I'll buy..."

  Gu Cheng interrupted her: "Uh, you can afford it, but I don't like it."

  "Why don't you like it?"

  "Crash color, I have a windbreaker of this color."

  Zhao Zimo: "......"

  It seems so, last time he wore a light gray windbreaker to "Tian Shang Ren Jian Entertainment City".

  Zhao Zimo was disappointed: "What a pity, today I finally found an item that matches your temperament."

  Gu Cheng's heart ached and he looked around the store, his eyes stopping at something: "Give me a shirt."

  He walked ahead to where his shirt was placed.

  Zhao Zimo's eyes lit up: "I'll choose, I'll choose."

  Slender fingers pressed one by one on the exquisite packaging box, stopped, and pulled out one.

  "This is it!"

  Zhao Zimo looked him up and down: "You should be a 42, right?" He glanced at the packaging box again, "This one is just right."

  Purple shirt?

  Gu Cheng touched his nose.

  It's not that I don't like it, but will he look too flashy wearing this color?

  But if it strikes her positivity again...

  Zhao Zimo quickly cut through the tangled mess and went to the checkout counter to settle the bill.

  She took out three 100-yuan bills, the shop assistant quickly checked and issued a receipt, put the clothes in a beautiful packaging bag and handed it to her.

  Zhao Zimo took it and remained standing in front of the cashier.

  The shop assistant saw she wasn't leaving, so she gave her a faint smile. She also returned a faint smile, but still didn't move her feet.

  The shop assistant politely asked: "Miss, do you need anything else?"

  Zhao Zimo said awkwardly: "You...haven't found change yet."

  "Change?"

  The shop assistant unconsciously widened her eyes, then thought to smile, pulled the corner of her mouth, and felt that she couldn't be rude to customers, so she tried hard to hold back.

  Gu Cheng took the bill and glanced at it, for the first time feeling a strong sense of speechlessness.

  Do you still want change?

  The shop assistant's weird expression and the speechless look of the person next to her finally made Zhao Zimo realize...

  She grabbed Gu Cheng Ge's hand and ran out of the store.

  How embarrassing!

  "How did I end up with such a silly and lovely girlfriend?" Gu Cheng Ge couldn't help but sigh as he got on the car.

  Zhao Zimo was still panting, and upon hearing this, he glared at him with a scowl, but after thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but laugh too.

  How stupid!

  Because of this joke, Zhao Zimo's last bit of embarrassment in his heart also disappeared silently.

  A small person achieves his ambition

  Arriving at the nursing home, Zhao Zimo felt a little nervous again.

  Before that, she was a volunteer to take care of Fu's grandma. Every time she came, she would be very loud and boisterous. But this time, because her identity had changed, her mood also became different.

  Although she didn't know why Ji Pin had a father but always relied on her maternal grandmother, she could be certain that Ji Pin highly valued Fu Nainai, so...

  This time she came, no matter how I thought about it, it felt like "meeting the parents".

  Gu Cheng took her hand, she shook it off, he took it again, and she shook it off again.

  Zhao Zimo: "Low-key, even more low-key."

  Gu Cheng's song is as smooth as a stream, with a casual tone and a flat tone: "No need to be embarrassed, grandma knows."

  Zhao Zimo: "......"

  Alright, he has already quickly and decisively announced the relationship between the two of them. She can no longer continue to pretend to be shy and nervous, but being held by him like this, with his arm around her shoulder almost embracing her...

  She still chose to hold hands anyway.

  Zhao Zimo took the initiative to pull down his hand and hold it.

  As expected, the two of them walked in hand in hand. Grandma Fu didn't show any surprise, but a hint of unusual joy was added to her elegant smile. Zhao Zimo was satisfied with this low-key approach that made her feel comfortable, however...

  When entering the door.

  Zhao Zimo was more reserved than usual: "Nanny Fu."

  Fu Nainai smiled warmly: "Now Ah Mo can call me Grandma along with Chengcheng."

  Zhao Zimo: "......"

  Yes, Grandma Fu is still very low-key.

  Then...

  A high-profile one.

  "How could you keep such a major thing as An Wutong's escape from Chen Cang a secret from me!"

  Zhao Zimo saw was Gu Chengxi making eyes at him.

  She was speechless with calmness.

  The confession has irreparably become a lifelong regret, and a soul-stirring kiss made her float on cloud nine for days. How could she still have the spare mind to run around like crazy to show off an ultra-high-quality boyfriend?

  Fortunately, Gu Chengxi was not completely unscrupulous and stopped after just one sentence of teasing.

  At the dinner table later, Zhao Zimo, who had calmed down, abandoned his reserve and returned to his usual talkative self. He started with "One time I went shopping for clothes" and shared a funny story about how he paid 300 yuan in cash for a 299.99-yuan shirt and didn't get any change back, which made even the normally stoic Mrs. Fu laugh uncontrollably. Gu Cheng Ge was quiet as usual, only occasionally serving dishes to someone who was too busy talking to eat, while Gu Cheng Xi...

  Miraculously, it was unusually quiet, as if it didn't exist, silently shutting up without a word.

  After finishing the meal, Gu Chengxi took the initiative to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Zhao Zimo followed her to the kitchen to wash the dishes, seeing that she had been silent throughout the entire meal and hadn't teased him at all.

  With the sound of bowls and dishes colliding in the water, Gu Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Alas..."

  "What's wrong, Xixi?"

  Gu Cheng glanced at her with a hint of resentment, and said in a pretentious tone: "Alas, Ah Mo is not what she used to be. Now that she's Lao Ge's person, I can no longer bully her, tease her, or make fun of her. How much joy will be missing from my life from now on!"

  Zhao Zimo silently thought: It turns out that this stunning beauty, who can charm the nation and the city, has always been treated as a living treasure for the masses to have fun with!

  Zhao Zimo: "You want to bully me, tease me and laugh at me, but I can't stop you."

  Gu Chengxi's eyes became even more resentful: "You don't stop me, I wouldn't dare either."

  Zhao Zimo: "What? What? What?"

  "Hasn't my brother spoiled you enough?"

  Zhao Zimo: "What? What? What? What? What?"

  Gu Chengxi: "When I entered, I joked with you for a sentence, and he threatened me!"

  Zhao Zimo: "What? What? What? What? What? What?"

  She didn't see it! Absolutely did not see any threatening behavior from that scumbag!

  Zhao Zimo: "I only saw him glance at you very calmly..."

  "Isn't it that calm and waveless gaze of his, devoid of any emotion? Don't you know that just using this kind of gaze to look at people already gives off a very oppressive feeling?"

  Zhao Zimo: "......"

  It seems so.

  Then she suddenly laughed: It turned out that Xixi remained silent throughout the meal just because her own brother gave her a very calm glance!

  Extremely good and powerful!

  Zhao Zimo: "Haha, now that's more like it! You can't take me lightly anymore. Having a powerful backer is just too great!"

  Gu Chengxi: "......"

  She didn't despise someone with her usual disdain, but instead smiled slowly as she watched the happy child.

  The originally cold and aloof older brother took a liking to this beautiful yet noisy little treasure, complementing each other perfectly, his eyesight is indeed extraordinary, high and venomous.

  Gu Cheng Xi started gossiping: "A Mo, who confessed to my older brother first?"

  Kicked the little tail!

  Zhao Zimo pretended to be calm: "He was the first to acknowledge that I am her girlfriend." That's right!

  Gu Chengxi was surprised: "Didn't you confess first!"

  Zhao Zimo jumped: How did she know!

  Gu Chengxi's face fell: "Oh no, I lost! I have to give up two breakfasts for a month."

  Zhao Zimo put down his heart and then looked bewildered.

  Lost?

  Gu Chengxi took the initiative to dispel doubts: "A Mo, I bet you would confess first, why didn't you confess first?"

  Zhaō zǐ mò hēi xiàn wàn zhàng.

  Translation: Zhao Zimo's dark line is boundless.

  "Why did you think I would confess first?"

  Gu Chengxi naturally said: "You must be impatient! This goes without saying!"

  Zhao Zimo: "......"

  It turns out that personality determines fate, she was destined to confess so sadly before he was about to confess, thus missing the perfect confession plot, a lifelong regret, a lifelong regret!

  But...

  Zhao Zimo said: "No matter who confesses, as long as he moves first, that's it."

  Gu Chengxi sneered: "A Mo, are you sure that the one who moved first was my older brother and not you?"

  Zhao Zimo blinked his eyes repeatedly.

  Why don't you go ask him when he actually fell in love? Even if it wasn't him who fell in love first, you have to make him admit that he was the one who fell in love first.

  Well, one confesses first, and the other falls in love first, this is fair.

  Then Zhao Zimo fled in disarray and slipped out of the kitchen. When he turned into the corridor and entered the living room, he stopped in his tracks.

  Gu Cheng and Grandma Fu were talking.

  Fu Nainai's tone was very serious: "Cheng Cheng, I know you haven't given up yet, but since the case of Qing Xiao has been reopened and Officer Su is in charge, you don't need to investigate personally. What you've done for Qing Xiao is already enough."

  "Grandma, don't worry, I won't put myself in danger again."

  Zhao Zimo quietly retreated.

  Fu Qianzhuo's wrongful case?
