"Happy birthday."
Qiao Nian was not good at saying these things. After she finished speaking, she pulled the brim of her hat unnaturally, not quite sure how to express herself.
Nie Mi took the box she handed over, and found that the box was a little broken. He raised his head and asked her curiously: "What's in it? It's quite heavy."
"Nothing, just a little thing."
Qiao Nian didn't tell him that the stone inside was a piece of raw stone she got from Continent F. It was pigeon blood, which was quite rare. There were only a few pigeon blood raw stones of this weight in the world. After she got it, she kept it with her for a while. She thought about using this raw stone to design a diamond necklace or something, but she was very busy later and didn't find the time.
This time when it was Nie Mi's birthday, she rummaged through her drawer, saw this rough stone and took it out.
The price of this raw stone is more expensive than the small pills she made herself. Besides, she was embarrassed to give her handmade items to others for their birthdays.
After much thought, this rough stone became the best birthday gift.
Nie Mi weighed the box in his hand and asked her curiously, "What kind of gadget is this? A paperweight?"
He likes study and Chinese painting, and occasionally shows off when he has nothing to do. Qiao Nian knows his little hobby. Nie Mi's first reaction is that the box contains a paperweight for pressing rice paper, but after looking at the size of the box, he rejected his guess and hissed, wishing to open it on the spot: "It doesn't look like a paperweight, a paperweight is not that small. Nian Nian, what's in it?"
The reason why he was so interested in the gift was because it was given by Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian had received many birthday gifts before he came, but he had never cared so much about them.
I accepted them all politely and had them placed in the guest room specially for gifts, without even having the interest to look at them.
Qiao Nian put the earphones away and put them in her pocket. She looked up and saw that he was interested in opening it. She reached out to stop him and said, "It's just a small gadget. It's not worth much. Let's take a look at it when we get back."
"..." Nie Mi had already opened half of the letter. After hearing what she said and looking at her reaction, he mistakenly thought that Qiao Nian had forgotten about his birthday and had temporarily bought him a handicraft as a gift. Now that there were so many people around, she was embarrassed to let him open it.
Nie Mi himself does not have much desire for money. He does not care about the value of the gift, but cares more about who gives the gift.
But Qiao Nian is still young after all, and it is normal for young people to be thin-skinned.
He no longer insisted on opening the box to see what was inside, and smiled helplessly: "Girl, are you afraid that I will dislike your gift? Am I that kind of person?"
"…That was not what I meant."
She frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "It's not a valuable thing, so take it back and have a look."
Nie Mi glanced at her, laughed dumbly, shook his head, and put the box away helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go back and take a look! You're so mean, no matter what you give me, even if you give me a piece of grass, I won't despise it. At my age, do I really have to be happy if you give me an expensive gift? You can come to celebrate my birthday, and hear you say happy birthday to me, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"
His misunderstanding is quite deep!
The corner of Qiao Nian's mouth twitched. She didn't explain that she was not afraid that Nie Mi would dislike the gift, but she was afraid that he would open the box in front of so many people.
Letting some people with ulterior motives see the pigeon blood in the box will cause unnecessary trouble.
