Chapter 214 What exactly is the gift?
Chen Xiaoxiao is a goddess in the eyes of many people.
But she's different from those goddesses; she's also a female academic achiever.
Despite her approachable demeanor towards Lin Chen, Chen Xiaoxiao, with her dual identity, still harbors a certain arrogance deep down.
This arrogance meant that, apart from flirting in text messages, Chen Xiaoxiao never asked Lin Chen in person what her gift was after they actually met.
It started with a group of people having dinner, and then they moved to a karaoke bar.
Chen Xiaoxiao kept quiet about the gift.
What she didn't expect was that Lin Chen seemed to have forgotten about the gift.
Once at the karaoke bar, he became the karaoke hog, singing for everyone.
Chen Xiaoxiao was already aware of Lin Chen's singing ability.
It is indeed very powerful.
Unfortunately, despite her beautiful singing voice, Chen Xiaoxiao had no interest in it.
What exactly is my gift?
That wretched Lin Chen, I've been waiting for your gift all day!
I forced myself to stay calm for over an hour, and it was already past nine o'clock.
Everyone will be heading back in about half an hour.
The dormitories at Long University of Science and Technology close at 10 p.m.
Chen Xiaoxiao finally couldn't hold back anymore.
As Lin Chen finished singing a song and sat down to drink and rest, she reached out her hand to him and said:
"where is my present?"
"What's the rush? Today isn't over yet."
Lin Chen smiled and answered, then picked up the watermelon from the fruit plate and started eating it by himself.
Chen Xiaoxiao snorted: "We're going back soon, aren't you going back today?"
"That works too!"
Lin Chen grinned, a lecherous look on his face.
"Think beautifully!"
Liu Qin raised an eyebrow, suddenly thinking, "Could your gift... be yourself?"
"bingo!"
Lin Chen burst into laughter.
"Do you want it?"
"Ugly! I won't accept it!"
Chen Xiaoxiao crossed her arms in anger and rolled her eyes fiercely!
But just then, the song "First Love" suddenly started playing in the private room.
Chen Xiaoxiao came to her senses and realized that the others had left the private room at some point.
"Lin Chen, Minmin and the others..."
Chen Xiaoxiao turned her head, just about to ask where the others had gone, when she saw Lin Chen take out a wooden box from somewhere.
Happy birthday, Xiaoxiao! This is your gift!
"What's this?"
Looking at the box in Lin Chen's hand, Chen Xiaoxiao felt like she had guessed something.
Although she had never mentioned it to Lin Chen, Chen Xiaoxiao actually knew long ago that Lin Chen had been secretly practicing art and even participated in the National Youth Art Competition and won the championship!
And all that Lin Chen did was for this gift?
Chen Xiaoxiao carefully examined the box in Lin Chen's hand.
Although the box is made of wood, it is beautifully designed.
Most importantly, it's quite large and doesn't look like it's holding jewelry or anything like that.
Even someone as clever as Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't guess what was inside.
Is it a painting?
Calligraphy and painting?
jewelry?
A little nervous, but also a little expectant.
I'm even a little worried.
"Open it and take a look?"
Lin Chen reached out and handed the box to Chen Xiaoxiao.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiaoxiao lifted the lid.
"This is……!"
Although she had thought of many things beforehand, Chen Xiaoxiao never expected that Lin Chen would give her a jade carving!
Moreover, it is a jade carving of Tiangong-1, the first space station in China!
This jade carving perfectly replicates the classic appearance of Tiangong-1.
The main cabin features smooth, natural lines and precise, well-proportioned dimensions.
The connected solar panels are thin and textured, with the surface meticulously polished by Lin Chen to create subtle textures that simulate the changes in luster of a real solar panel as it receives sunlight.
Lin Chen also cleverly carved various details of the hatches and portholes on the hull.
The most ingenious part is that on one of the portholes, there is an astronaut who looks like Chen Xiaoxiao looking out.
"This...this is unbelievable! You made this yourself?"
Chen Xiaoxiao's voice trembled with excitement, and her eyes were slightly red.
Lin Chen smiled broadly: "Yes, I know your journey is to the stars and the sea, so I wanted to make you a special gift. I hope you like it."
like……
I really love this gift!
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Immersed in this deep love, the two drew closer...
"Are you done yet? What gift did you give me?"
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Wang Heming rushed in, looking impatient.
Behind him were Lu Han and the others with helpless smiles.
Damn it! Wang Heming, you idiot!
Can't you see the current atmosphere?
"Boss, I tried my best, but she just couldn't wait any longer!"
Lu Han offered an awkward explanation.
Chen Xiaoxiao blushed, but quickly smiled and took out the sculpture of Tiangong-1.
"Minmin, look, this was made by Lin Chen!"
"Oh my God!"
"Is this a jade carving?"
"This skill is amazing!"
The three girls in Chen Xiaoxiao's dormitory looked on in astonishment, and even Lu Han and the others were speechless.
However, all three girls were amazed by Lin Chen's cooking skills.
What Lu Han and the others cared about was the actual value of the jade carving.
……
On the way back, Chen Xiaoxiao held the wooden box in her hands the whole time, refusing to let go for even a moment.
It's clear she really likes the gift.
Behind Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao, the other three couples in the two dormitories were discussing the value of the gift.
Zhu Yi asked, "How much is the gift Lin Chen gave Chen Xiaoxiao worth?"
Lu Qiong counted on her fingers: "This is jade! I think it must be worth at least tens of thousands, right?"
Chen Hao shrugged: "Tsk tsk tsk, a gift costs tens of thousands, it's lucky that Lin Chen can afford it."
Wang Heming's eyes sparkled: "Tens of thousands? My God! If a man gave me a gift worth tens of thousands, I would marry him immediately!"
Lu Han looked disgusted: "Forget it, Wang Heming, who's blind enough to give you a gift worth tens of thousands?"
"Fatty Lu, do you want to die?"
……
Lin Chen, who was walking in front, chuckled after hearing this...
A few tens of thousands?
The material alone for this jade carving is worth tens of millions, okay?
Not to mention the effort Lin Chen put into completing this carving.
But then he suddenly heard Chen Hao shout from behind him: "Third brother, what are you doing? If you don't go back to the dorm soon, they'll lock the doors!"
Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao stopped and turned around.
Shi Jun was standing on the road with his phone in his hand, seemingly looking at something.
Hearing Chen Hao shout, he looked up, grabbed his phone, and ran over.
"Look at today's trending topics! The Americans have declared war on us!"
Wang Defa?
declare war?
Everyone was startled and quickly took out their phones.
"Damn! Third brother, don't jump to conclusions! I almost thought there was a world war!"
"Yeah! That scared me to death!"
Everyone grumbled, all of them terrified by what Shi Jun had just said.
Because what he called a declaration of war didn't actually mean that war was going to break out.
Instead, the United States is going to hold a competition with China!
