It was nine o'clock in the morning when Ji Manli woke up, and the sunlight shone through the glass windows and undrawn curtains into her room.She stretched first, rubbed her sore eyes, and then barely propped her body up with her hands, and walked to the bathroom.

Last night, I worked until three o'clock in the morning. I made a total of [-] pictures. At the end of some of the pictures, she finally lost her patience. She directly took the electronic drawing board and opened the calligraphy nib, and wrote the title of the book with her own ghost drawing symbols on the software. .

The author can provoke her to make such a bad plan, but she has no choice.

After taking care of herself, she returned to the room.Seeing that there were still some biscuits that Bo Sheng gave her left, the spread oiled paper was placed beside the computer desk, and the granules of sugar were randomly scattered on the desk and keyboard.Seeing this scene, Ji Manli lost all sleepiness, hurriedly went to the kitchen that didn't fire much, got a rag and a discarded toothbrush, and patiently cleaned up the mess for herself last night.

The mobile phone that was also placed on the computer desk, the message indicator light was blinking green at this time, Ji Manli blinked, opened it, there was a text message and countless message reminders from chat application software.

[Bo Sheng: Bai Hua and the others are coming to my dinner party again today, at six o'clock in the evening, come? 】

Through just a few words, she began to imagine the table full of abundance again, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.I wanted to reply and agree directly, but I was afraid that there would be work matters, so I turned on the computer and opened the e-mail after cleaning the computer desk.

The computer version of the chat software was not to be outdone, and after Ji Manli connected to the Internet, several conversation messages popped up in a flash.She deleted the irrelevant advertisements, and first clicked on Wen Mo's message.

[I am the deputy editor of the soft article: Congratulations to Manman, the author said that he likes the cover with a very majestic running script font, and it has been finalized.There should be no other orders today haha, you finally don’t have to draw pictures until the early morning (I saw your sending time), well, the fee will be charged to your account, after the accountants have finished the trial, as for the specific time Anyway, that's it~ Thank you very much, let's go to the coffee shop to drink tea together next time!If I'm on vacation...with a sad sticker]

Ji Manli burst out laughing, the running script cover that Wen Mo mentioned happened to be the pen and ink that she casually wrote down with the electronic drawing board in a fit of anger.If she had known that the author was like this, she wouldn't have to fight so hard with PS.

After learning that she could take a nap, Ji Manli immediately took out her mobile phone and replied to Bai Sheng's text message, telling her that she would go to the appointment tonight.Afterwards, he turned off the computer, changed out of his pajamas, and made a phone call to Yu Xun, his best friend from college.

"Hey, Ji Manli, what's the matter?" After the call was connected, Ji Manli unconsciously raised the corners of her lips when she heard her friend's lazy voice.

"It's been a long time since we had lunch together, why don't we get together today? Don't you like dessert very much? My high school classmate who stayed in France came back and opened a shop on Heping Road. I just went there yesterday. It's very good."

"Really?" Yu Xun asked excitedly: "The one who read Falan? Of course I'm going. It's said in the book that only food and beauties can't be let down."

"Puchi, which book said that?" Ji Manli smiled and said, "Do you have enough time for lunch break? Then we will make an appointment at the south exit of the MRT station over there. See you at 11:30, I will call my friend first explain."

"Use your relationship to save your position, right? I really wish I had this kind of friend."

"Okay, isn't there enough work for the publishing house? Hurry up."

After finishing the call, Ji Manli immediately sent a text message to Bo Sheng about her dessert appointment.

Almost a minute or two after sending it, Bo Sheng immediately replied and agreed.

Ji Manli smiled unconsciously as she looked at the two short words on the text message.

Bo Sheng has always been so gentle to her.

At about eleven o'clock, Ji Manli carried her shoulder bag and stepped on her dry short boots to go out.Thick clouds covered the sun, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in the cool weather.Fortunately, before going out, she wore a pure gray cashmere wool scarf, which was given by Bai Sheng in high school.

I remember that when I got this gift, Bai Hua couldn't help admiring it a few times.

"It's actually a pure wool scarf," she picked up Ji Manli's gift and casually played with it in her hands: "It's too much, I'm so partial, why didn't I have it on my birthday!"

"Your birthday hasn't come yet!" Qi Xuan rolled his eyes.

"It's really good, this scarf is so easy to touch." Shao Lu also expressed her thoughts while using the scarf as a toilet paper.

At that time, Ji Manli was holding the scarf, and she was so moved that she even put away the wrapping paper.

Later, during physical education class, she pulled Bai Sheng aside and asked, "Is this scarf expensive?"

"No." Bai Sheng blinked his eyes, his tone was indifferent, and he looked normal.

She was holding a badminton racket in her hand, turning it casually, and the indifferent expression on her face seemed to want to end the topic.

The people around were fighting, shouting, and screaming on the field, which was in sharp contrast to the tranquility between the two of them.

"Really?" Ji Manli couldn't believe it: "During the geography class last time, the teacher said that cashmere wool is so expensive."

"Really," Bai Sheng sighed, "otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it."

When Ji Manli heard this explanation, she reluctantly believed it.After returning home, she happily showed the scarf to her mother. Unexpectedly, when her mother heard that it was cashmere wool, she immediately turned on the computer and searched for scarves of this brand online.When Ji Manli saw the prices on the shopping website, she was stunned and didn't know how to react.

It wasn't until she regained her senses that she screamed: "4000...!? Bai Sheng clearly told me that it wouldn't be very expensive!"

"Do you want to give it back?" Mother suggested: "After all, receiving such an expensive thing from others, it will be very troublesome to return gifts in the future."

"But I walked around today, and my sweat is all over it... It's not good for others."

Mother's prediction was correct, Ji Manli started saving money five months before Bai Sheng's birthday.

She frugally saved her little pocket money, and forced herself to write manuscripts and submit them to youth weekly magazines, newspaper literary boards, etc., all for the purpose of Bai Sheng's birthday present.

However, she couldn't decide what to give Bai Sheng, so she went to discuss with Bai Hua, Qi Xuan, and Shao Lu in private.

Several people opened a chat room on the Internet, and heated discussions started.

Ji Manli: "What should I do, Bai Sheng's birthday is coming up, I don't know what to give her."

Bai Hua: "Let's think about what she likes... What's your budget?"

Ji Manli: "Four thousand, the scarf she gave me last time was about the same price..."

Qi Xuan: "4000!!!??? She can still give it away at this price qaq!? It's so rich, I didn't even know that this guy is such a rich man. I'm going to hook her up and ask for support."

Shao Lu: "=-= four thousand... High school students give gifts so much. But Xiao Man is even willing to return the gift. If qaq is replaced by me, this price may only sell her body."

Bai Hua: "Don't push yourself up there, what can you buy with a bond? A chocolate bar?"

Shao Lu: "Send a sticker that has been read and does not want to reply."

Qi Xuan: "Ah, it's so troublesome, it means that I don't know what to give Bai Sheng."

Bai Hua: "Look at you, my sister bought it a long time ago, and her birthday is coming up next week, it's outrageous that you are still struggling here. Send a victory sticker."

Ji Manli: "Otherwise, give Bai Sheng a new pen?"

Bai Hua: "That's a good idea, but do you know pens? It's a waste of money to give away such expensive things, right?"

Shao Lu: "How about this, Xiao Man, I think you'd better... make a promise with your body qaq, maybe Bai Sheng will be very happy."

Ji Manli: "Why are you happy... I have no use value to be honest..."

Bai Hua: "Shao Lu, don't talk nonsense =-=."

Qi Xuan: "I know a little bit about fountain pens. Baisheng's fountain pens can be regarded as entry-level stainless steel nibs. If you want to send a fountain pen, you can send a gold nib. Ah... It's too rich to write with gold qaq. Send one Kneeling stickers."

Ji Manli: "Okay, I'll go to the Internet to check the information and prices."

Bai Hua: "Yeah, come on~ By the way, should we stop playing with her on her birthday?"

Qi Xuan: "What are you going to do? Push it into the swimming pool? Send a picture of your goodness and badness"

Bai Hua: "Hehehe, this is old. She is my sister's good friend. How could my sister treat her like this?"

Shao Lu: "qaq, I feel that the best choice I made in my life is never to anger Bai Hua, Qi Xuan."

Qi Xuan: "...I'm going to pick out presents, break."

So Ji Manli began to compare fountain pens in various forums, and also began to know everything about fountain pens.Finally, before Bai Sheng’s birthday, she bought the Japanese Baile Black Samurai 18k fountain pen online. She personally thinks that the pen’s calm appearance is quite similar to Bai Sheng’s.

There is a box outside the expensive pen, and Ji Manli doesn't need too much packaging to show his sincerity.In fact, she always knew in her heart that with Bo Sheng's temperament, she would not ask others to give her an equivalent gift, but no matter what, she felt sorry for herself.

On Bai Sheng's birthday, Ji Manli brought the pen to school in a kraft paper bag.That morning, Bo Sheng arrived unusually late, and some gifts and cards were scattered on her desk.

When Shao Lu saw that Bai Sheng hadn't appeared, he curled his lips in disappointment: "Why don't you come, I'm going to give her this shameful gift directly, yet she hasn't shown up yet."

It was rare that he was not late. Qi Xuan, who appeared miraculously early in the morning, stuffed her gift into Bai Sheng's drawer, and said, "You bought something weird again, don't you know that giving gifts indiscriminately will cause trouble to others?" ? Also, is it really okay to directly reveal that your gift is shameful!?"

Shao Lu put on a serious face: "The things I gave are very practical, it's fine if you don't call me a thoughtful little padded jacket, and you still slander me like this."

Qi Xuan rolled his eyes: "I don't know who gave me a set of sex dice on my birthday haha."

"I don't know who it is, why don't you tell me who I want to play with after accepting it?" Shao Lu took out his breakfast and took a sip of soy milk: "So where did Bai Sheng go? Arrived early!?"

"Why?" An indifferent voice came from behind Shao Lu, scaring her so much that she almost choked to death on the soy milk.

"Bo Sheng, is it okay to be so scary!?" She patted her chest in relief.

"I accidentally went to bed late." Bai Sheng pulled out his chair, then took out a handbag from his schoolbag, and began to put all the gifts and cards on the table into the bag.

"Oh, I even brought a bag for presents!" Qi Xuan looked at Bai Sheng's spoils, but Bai Sheng just glanced at her and didn't respond.

Ji Manli, who stood aside and waited for a long time, went up to meet him, and handed the paper bag to Bai Sheng.

"Bo Sheng, happy birthday." The hand that handed out the paper bag trembled unconsciously, and Ji Manli didn't understand why there was a little fear in her heart at this moment.

When Bai Sheng saw Ji Manli's gift, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his gentle smile never restrained, like the warm sun on a winter afternoon.She took Ji Manli's paper bag and asked, "Can I open it now?"

Ji Manli nodded: "Yes!"

Bo Sheng took out the box containing the pen, saw that it was written on it, his eyes showed a trace of surprise, and he subconsciously glanced at Ji Manli.Pulling out the paper box outside, there was a black plastic box inside. Bai Sheng opened the box and saw the pen inside.

"This is... Baile's black warrior?" Her voice trembled, and Ji Manli rarely saw her emotions fluctuate like this.

"That's right..." Ji Manli thought she was dissatisfied with Bai Sheng's tone, and felt a little sad in her heart: "You don't like it?"

"No..." Seeing her hurt face, Bo Sheng shook his head gently: "I'm just surprised how to send such an expensive thing..."

"I... you gave me a scarf worth 4000 yuan on my birthday." Ji Manli looked at her with a bit of sadness in her eyes: "Such an expensive gift, of course I have to return it properly."

Bo Sheng blinked.
