Chapter 168 A Mysterious Gift
Chapter 168 A Mysterious Gift
Inside the milk tea shop, Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu each ordered a cup of milk tea.
The two hadn't seen each other for several days, and were very happy to see each other again, sharing many interesting things that had happened recently.
Of course, Wang Qingyu has more interesting stories.
For example, when her relatives heard that she had been admitted to a four-year university, they all came to congratulate her. Although it was only a second-tier university, she was already the most highly educated person in their family so far, which was truly something to celebrate.
In a few days, her college acceptance letter will arrive, and her family will throw her a grand celebration. They'll definitely invite her best friend Ye Yixian and her benefactor Lu Yuan.
If Lu Yuan hadn't predicted the exam questions so accurately, she might not have been able to get such a high score no matter how hard she tried.
After sharing the funny stories, Ye Yixian couldn't help but ask, "Qingyu, what kind of gift do you think I should give Lu Yuan to make him happy?"
Ye Yixian really wanted to know, mainly because she wanted Lu Yuan to be happy.
After asking this question, she emphasized, "You know I don't have much money and can't afford any expensive gifts. Your advice needs to be reliable."
"Hey, this is easy."
Wang Qingyu, with an air of complete confidence, smiled and looked Ye Yixian up and down.
Ye Yixian felt uncomfortable being stared at like that and said reproachfully, "Are you reliable or not? Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Hehe, didn't I tell you already?" Wang Qingyu leaned over and poked Ye Yixian's bulging chest, saying with a wicked smile, "Lu Yuan is a boy, and a boy with boundless energy in his adolescence. As his girlfriend, if you were to hand yourself over to him directly, there's no way he wouldn't be happy."
"I?"
Ye Yixian immediately understood what Wang Qingyu meant, and his face turned bright red.
She subconsciously stopped Wang Qingyu from continuing, and then looked around. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the milk tea shop tonight, and the two of them were sitting in a relatively secluded corner, so no one else would hear them talking about such embarrassing topics.
"Qingyu, if you keep joking with me, I'm not going to talk to you anymore," Ye Yixian said, embarrassed and annoyed.
It wasn't that she was unwilling to take things further with Lu Yuan, but in her opinion, this was something that the couple would experience sooner or later, and giving it as a gift would seem too mercenary.
It might even tarnish the true nature of love.
But Wang Qingyu smiled and said, "Yixian, I don't know how you view this kind of thing, but since you've chosen to date Lu Yuan, you should consider his feelings. He definitely wants things like that with you."
"I did consider his feelings."
Ye Yixian was very considerate of Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan seemed to have never made such a request to her, so she was not sure whether Lu Yuan wanted to take things further.
"That's settled then, isn't it? As a teenage boy, he's bound to want that. If you, his girlfriend, take the initiative, he'll definitely be even happier."
As she spoke, Wang Qingyu began rummaging through her teddy bear backpack. When she finally found something, she grabbed it and secretly slipped it to Ye Yixian from under the table, all the while acting mysteriously.
Ye Yixian took it and found it to be a small, soft plastic package.
Looking down, I saw a small pink gadget that resembled a seasoning packet for instant noodles.
"This is..." She thought of something, but wasn't quite sure. Because she had never actually seen it, nor had she studied it in depth; she had only heard about it superficially.
"It's something that will prevent you from getting pregnant after you and him have sex."
Wang Qingyu, still grinning mischievously, gestured for Ye Yixian to put it away carefully so as not to lose it. "As long as you take this out when you get to the hotel, you won't even need to say anything. Lu Yuan will understand what you mean. He'll definitely be very happy."
"Jade!"
Ye Yixian blushed to her neck, and her first reaction was to refuse and return the item to Wang Qingyu.
Wang Qingyu pursed her lips and said, "Yixian, this isn't very interesting. I genuinely believe in you and Lu Yuan, and I hope you two will be together forever. You can't just keep talking about love and doing nothing else, can you?"
"I..." Ye Yixian stammered, unsure how to respond.
"Alright, alright, take it." Wang Qingyu helped Ye Yixian put the things into his pocket. Ye Yixian hesitated for a moment, but eventually accepted them.
Wang Qingyu said with some regret, "If you had told me in advance, I could have helped you pick out a few lingerie pieces that would accentuate your figure, and the effect would have been even better. Unfortunately, you're going to the provincial capital tomorrow, so there's no time to pick them out for you now."
"Alright. Alright. That's enough. You've done enough." Ye Yixian felt terrible, as if two female bandits were plotting to harm an ignorant young man.
Wang Qingyu smiled, propped her chin on her hand, and looked at Ye Yixian with envy. "I really envy you two. You're about to take things a step further, while Gao Zhe and I don't even know if it will work out."
"Hey, if you like him, just tell him! You're so cute, he'll definitely like you too," Ye Yixian encouraged.
Wang Qingyu shook her head. "He hasn't shown any interest in me. If I confess my feelings rashly, I'm afraid I'll scare him away."
"Sigh!" Ye Yixian sighed, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she looked at Wang Qingyu warily, asking, "How do you have something like this?"
Ye Yixian was asking about the safety measures Wang Qingyu had given her earlier.
Logically speaking, Wang Qingyu is also single. How could a young girl who has no experience in that area have such a thing?
Ye Yixian suspected that Wang Qingyu was hiding something.
"What are you thinking?" Wang Qingyu knew what Ye Yixian was thinking and explained, "I took this from my parents' room. I took one secretly, and they won't know."
"Oh, I see."
Ye Yixian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two chatted about some trivial topics for a while before parting ways.
……
The next day, Ye Yixian packed two sets of clothes and came to find Lu Yuan.
After having lunch, they boarded a bus to the provincial capital after much urging from Lu's mother.
Prior to this, Ye Yixian had already spoken with Ye Yizhu and obtained Ye Yizhu's work address.
Lu Yuan also checked and found that Ye Yizhu's workplace was not far from the clothing wholesale market, which saved him the trouble of traveling a long distance.
This was Ye Yixian's first time riding a bus, and the experience was so new to her that she was quite excited. She was determined to sit by the window and enjoy the scenery along the way.
She was like a child going out to play for the first time, full of energy, with a bright smile, and very cute.
Lu Yuan was very pleased that she had such a pleasant experience. Seeing her so happy, he felt that the trip was definitely worthwhile.
But this joyful mood didn't last long before Ye Yixian started to feel carsick. Fortunately, it wasn't too serious; she just felt dizzy and leaned against Lu Yuan, dozing off.
Lu Yuan was used to the feeling of riding in a car and did not get carsick, so he held Ye Yixian like that until the bus arrived at the station.
The scenery in the second half of the journey was different from that in Jiangcheng, but unfortunately Ye Yixian didn't see any of it. Naturally, she lacked a transition period, so when she got off the train and saw the many tall buildings in the provincial capital, she was completely stunned.
She had never seen such tall buildings and such wide roads before, and her instinctive fear of the huge and unfamiliar environment made her grab Lu Yuan's hand.
Lu Yuan smiled and said gently to her, "Hold on to me with a relaxed attitude. If you see anything delicious or fun along the way, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."
"I...I don't need to buy anything. Just show me around."
After breathing in fresh air, her motion sickness was mostly gone.
Ultimately, she was afraid of wasting money and causing trouble for Lu Yuan, knowing that prices in the provincial capital were higher than in Jiangcheng.
Lu Yuan didn't argue too much. He took Ye Yixian for a walk around the neighborhood and carefully observed her changes. He could then guess what she was interested in. Lu Yuan could then use the excuse that he also wanted to experience it to buy something with Ye Yixian.
Ye Yixian was very happy. It was her first time visiting the provincial capital, and she was extremely excited. Her curiosity and joy never stopped.
