Lin Baici was terribly embarrassed. That remark was purely unintentional.
Lin Baici would only occasionally make jokes when he was with Ji Xinyan and Nangong Shu. Normally, he was a serious person, even when facing Xia Hongyao, to whom he could entrust his life, he was careful with his words and actions.
Tang Qing entered the bedroom, glanced around, placed the plate of mini soup dumplings on the table, and then plopped down on the bed, sitting on it.
"Little Ci, your bedroom is cleaner than mine!"
Tang Qing lifted the pillow and looked underneath but found nothing.
"I just returned yesterday and only stayed for a night. How could it not be clean?"
Lin Baici went to rummage through his backpack.
"The last ti I ca into your room was probably when you were in the first year of high school, right?"
Tang Qing sat down hard, feeling the springiness of the foam mattress.
"Yes, the first sester of the first year of high school, you asked to write a resu for you!"
Lin Baici laughed, rembering clearly: "What a ti that was!"
That resu was copied from an online template.
"You said you’d treat to spicy hot pot, but I waited two months for it!"
"Because I failed the job application, and I didn’t have much money?"
Tang Qing pouted: "The first mont I saved up money from two months of part-ti work, I treated you to spicy hot pot. Isn’t your sister good?"
"Of course, she’s good!"
Lin Baici saw a hint of darkness and regret flash across Tang Qing’s eyes and imdiately dared not bring up the topic again.
He heard from his mom that Tang Qing was quite disheartened for not getting that job, and since then, she ca to terms with her situation and joined a watch factory.
"When are you leaving?"
Tang Qing leaned back and lay on the bed: "When the school opens?"
The neighbor girl wore shorts, so Lin Baici saw her two bare white legs, and her slippers almost flew off as she swung her legs back and forth.
This action also made the hem of her T-shirt roll up, revealing her flat abdon and navel.
"About half a month later?"
Got to spend a few days with mom anyway!
"So soon?"
Tang Qing stopped her leg shaking. She wasn’t trying to seduce Lin Baici, it was just an unconscious behavior when she was relaxed.
Actually, speaking of it, Tang Qing and Lin Baici also grew up together, but Tang Qing was older. Although they went to the sa primary and middle school, they were never in the sa class.
In Tang Qing’s mind, she habitually still regarded Lin Baici as the outstanding little kid next door, not seeing him as a man.
"Hmm!"
Lin Baici took a gift out of his backpack and handed it to Tang Qing: "A present for you!"
Tang Qing imdiately used her waist strength to sit up.
"Hehe, then I won’t be polite!"
Tang Qing made a rubbing hands gesture like a fly, but even though she said so, she didn’t take it. Instead, she looked into Lin Baici’s eyes, wanting to confirm if he really intended to give her the gift.
If not, it would be best to refuse.
"Don’t be polite, otherwise I’ll feel embarrassed tagging along for als in the future!"
Lin Baici tossed the gift to Tang Qing.
"Co on, after you graduate, you’ll definitely stay in Haijing, right? Even if I prepared a big al wanting you to co, you wouldn’t co!"
Speaking of this, Tang Qing felt a bit sad.
There would probably be fewer and fewer chances to et with Lin Baici in the future.
Tang Qing felt this way, firstly because she was losing a little companion, and secondly because she saw others progressing while she remained in this rundown neighborhood for life.
Hmm!
If she married badly, it could be even worse.
Lin Baici smiled and didn’t respond.
Tang Qing looked at the beautifully wrapped gift and imdiately collected her sad emotions: "What’s inside?"
Tang Qing shook the box.
"Why don’t you open it to find out?"
"But opening it in front of you? Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"
Tang Qing was conflicted.
"It’s just a small gift!"
Lin Baici sat on the chair, resting his right elbow on the backrest, his right fist slightly clenched, supporting his cheek, looking at Tang Qing.
She wasn’t as pretty as Ji Xinyan, not as cute as Hua Yue Yu, and not as sexy as Kim Myungjin, just an ordinary person, but the identity of a neighborly big sister added extra charm.
The first ti Lin Baici saw girls’ underwear, entered a girl’s room, or even held hands with a girl, hugged by a girl, all involved Tang Qing.
"Opening it like this, isn’t it lacking a sense of ceremony?"
Though Tang Qing said this, she couldn’t wait any longer and began to unwrap the package.
Moreover, she thought, how expensive could a gift possibly be? Her earlier words were more flattery, expressing how much she valued the gift.
Tang Qing stripped off the bow, unwrapped the wrapping paper, and after seeing the exquisite box, couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Ah?"
"A Huawei phone?"
"And it’s the latest model?"
Tang Qing had been using her phone for three years, wanting to change it for a while but couldn’t afford it. Her parents wouldn’t buy one either, so she had been waiting until now, unexpectedly seeing a brand-new phone.
"Little Ci!"
Tang Qing jumped off the bed and rushed to Lin Baici’s side, hugged his neck, and gave a playful kiss.
"Uh..."
Lin Baici’s body stiffened slightly, thinking of what to say to avoid Tang Qing’s embarrassnt, but then saw she was completely unaware of what she just did.
Tang Qing let go of Lin Baici, happily hugging the phone box and spinning around.
"Do you like it?"
Lin Baici also started smiling.
After all, even though Tang Qing was 24, she wasn’t married or in a relationship, and she was still a young girl at heart. Receiving a valuable and much-coveted gift made her exceptionally happy.
"Like it! Like it! Love it!"
Tang Qing said repeatedly.
"Calm down!"
