"How would I know? I'm not a parasite in Boss's stomach."
"I'm really envious of that grandson, Song Chaoxi. He should have married off earlier and moved out. I should hurry up and catch up to your grandma so that I can escape from Boss's demonic clutches."
"Scram! You're my grandson!"
"Grandson, how can you speak to your grandfather like that …"
"…"
The two of them bickered for a while before realizing that they had gone off topic, so they hurriedly returned to the main topic.
"If Boss continues to be so subdued, we're going to be in deep trouble tonight. Hurry up and think of a way to ease the atmosphere!"
"You should think about it too. Don't just rush me …"
The two of them continued arguing for a long time before Xia Shangzhou cleared his throat and said, "Boss, it's Little Junior's birthday today. Aren't you going to prepare a present for her?"
Lin Jiage paid no heed to Lu Benlai's words. He didn't stop typing on the keyboard, but his profile had clearly turned colder as he looked at the screen.
Lu Benlai coughed twice before mustering his courage to play along with Xia Shangzhou, "Of course, of course I'll give her a present. However, Boss, have you thought of a present for Little Junior?"
Lin Jiage seemed to be completely immersed in his project. Other than the occasional frown on his forehead when he was deep in thought, he didn't react at all.
"Isn't that obvious? Girls are bound to like bags, clothes, and cosmetics …" As Xia Shangzhou spoke, he stole a glance at Lin Jiage, and he noticed that the latter's typing on the keyboard was showing signs of slowing down. It was only then that he turned to Lu Benlai and raised his voice, "… In any case, it's only a matter of time before you buy the most expensive one!"
Receiving Xia Shangzhou's signal, Lu Benlai hurriedly chimed in, "How vulgar! The value of a present isn't determined by its price but sincerity. If the other party doesn't like it, no matter how expensive it is, it's useless. If the other party likes it, even if it's only worth a yuan, it's still priceless … "
Lin Jiage, who was in the midst of working on his project, suddenly stood up, kicked the chair behind him, and walked to the balcony.
Lu Benlai fell silent. He and Xia Shangzhou stared at one another for a moment before shaking their heads, indicating that they were even more confused than before.
…
Compared to the time when Han Jing had confessed, the dormitory was now extremely quiet.
Lin Jiage enjoyed the night breeze for a while longer, but he still felt a stifling sensation in his chest.
He knew very well that this discomfort was not caused by Han Jing, but by himself.
Today was Soft Bun's birthday … But before Han Jing's public confession, he knew nothing about it, let alone a birthday present.
Lu Ben was right. Gifts didn't matter how expensive or cheap they were. What mattered was sincerity and whether the other party liked them or not … But other than remembering "passion fruit, loquat, watermelon, pineapple, pomegranate" and "potato chips, roast duck, milk tea, ice cream (vanilla)" in his notebook, he didn't know what she liked. So even if he wanted to prepare a birthday present now, he didn't know where to start.
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage heaved a long sigh of frustration. He took out his phone, typed in a few words, and searched: [What should I give a girl on her birthday?]
The answers were varied.
Were netizens so unreliable nowadays?
While Lin Jiage harrumphed in disdain, he sought out the one and only young woman in his life to seek advice from.
