Chapter 632: Chapter 632 Dabai’s Birthday 1
"Just an insignificant person," Ji Yebai’s expression returned to normal as he casually replied before changing the subject, "My birthday is coming up, is your gift ready?"
Ning Xixi retorted, "A gift is about thoughtfulness and surprise, something the giver prepares voluntarily. Who directly asks for a gift like you do?"
Ji Yebai wrapped his arm around her neck and threatened, "If you dare not prepare one, you’re dead meat! Ning Piggy, whether braised in soy sauce, steamed, or in sweet and sour sauce, how do you want me to eat you?"
"Ugh... Bastard! Let go!"
Ji Yebai was not about to let her off that easily, and they ended up scuffling.
...
Back at the Ji Family home, Ning Xixi saw that there was still plenty of time and arranged to meet Cheng Youran to collect the gift she had ordered for Ji Yebai.
At the mall.
They got milk teas and browsed the stores while drinking.
"I can’t believe you, with your two left hands, actually made a gift for Ji Yebai!"
"That’s not true! I’m actually quite crafty!"
"Do you not feel a pinch in your conscience when you say that?"
Ning Xixi felt deeply aggrieved, "TuT Youran, don’t say it outright, show me a little tenderness."
Amidst their laughter, they arrived at the shop where Ning Xixi did her crafting.
The shop specialized in DIY ceramics and was filled with customers; it was evidently doing good business.
"Hi, I’m here to pick something up!" Ning Xixi handed the pickup slip to the attendant, who found a bag and handed it over to her.
"Miss, your crafted item is in this bag."
"What did you make? Open it and let’s see!" Cheng Youran jostled Ning Xixi’s arm.
Ning Xixi opened the bag and hummed proudly, "How’s that?"
Cheng Youran praised, "Xixi, these two bowls are quite nice!"
Ning Xixi: "...These are cups."
Cheng Youran: "..."
After coughing twice, Cheng Youran held her forehead, "Ah... now that you mention it, they do kind of look like cups!"
Ning Xixi felt suddenly deflated.
She had worked so hard on them for so long, and yet the final product was so disappointing.
"Maybe... I should just buy him a gift..."
"Don’t! A handcrafted gift is way more meaningful! If you give Ji Yebai a cup made by you, he’ll definitely be touched! And cups, you see, ’one cup’ - ’one lifetime’! Such a great meaning!"
Hearing Cheng Youran’s comforting words, a light revived in Ning Xixi’s dark eyes, "Alright, I’ll give him this then!"
She placed one cup into the bag, but before she could pack the other, her shoulder was suddenly bumped and the cup slipped from her hand, shattering with a bang as it hit the ground!
Ceramic cups are fragile, and they burst into pieces upon hitting the marble floor!
"Oh no, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose!" Lu Jinjin covered her mouth with feigned sincerity, pretending to be scared.
She had come to the shop today with friends to craft something and soon noticed Ning Xixi walking in, overhearing her conversation with Cheng Youran.
Since Ji Yebai had severely reprimanded her last time for posting a picture, she had harbored resentment for a long time.
However, she didn’t dare to trouble Ji Yebai, so she decided to take her anger out on Ning Xixi instead!
"I think you did do it on purpose!" Cheng Youran was livid.
Tears fell from Lu Jinjin’s eyes, "I really didn’t mean it... Why are you being so mean? If it’s that big a deal, I’ll just pay for a new one!"
The other customers in the shop, seeing her crying like a rain-drenched pear blossom, felt sympathy for her.
"Hey now, it’s just a cup, why make a big fuss!"
"The poor girl feels bad enough, let it go!"
"Forgive and forget where you can!"
