nosy on you

preparing for birthday

Yan Yan tidied up the second bedroom, put on new sheets, and took a blanket from the closet. Although this room has been vacant, he insists on cleaning it every week.

My aunt stayed here overnight and left early the next morning.

Last night when Gu Xi said that he was going to take him out to play on his birthday, he still felt a little puzzled. The two of them hadn't discussed this matter before, and they didn't know what kind of medicine that guy was selling in the gourd.

But my aunt agreed very generously, after all, it is still unknown whether she will be able to ask for leave.

The atmosphere of the new year in the provincial capital city is much weaker than that of the county town. Maybe it’s because the migrant workers have returned home in large numbers, and it’s deserted everywhere. The speed of the car on the street reaches 120 yards and you can’t hit anyone. After the sixth day, it gradually becomes lively. .

Except for two meetings with friends, the two spent the rest of their time either eating or sleeping. When they were really bored, they watched a few movies on the sofa. They weighed themselves rigorously before going to work. Both thickened twice.

The pain point of starting work and meeting the morning shift is to do a big cleaning, and of course there are unexpected gains.

Liang Le sent a red envelope to each of the three employees in his class. Although it was only 200 yuan, he was much luckier than his colleagues on the evening shift who couldn't get any benefits.

"I made half a bottle of Dior Lieyan Blue Gold 999 for cleaning." Keiko put a plastic shower cap on her head, and scraped the glass back and forth against the window, "It's quite a deal when you think about it."

"You haven't bought enough yet..." Xiaoxin squatted by the railing on the second floor with a rag in her hand, "Didn't you just go to Yangshulin to buy a small gold bar 26 years ago, did you eat it?"

Didn't Dior sell clothes?

What is 999?

Are the gold bars still edible? !

Yan Jing was confused. After mopping the floor, he arranged the stools on the table, walked into the bar and turned on the coffee machine and computer. He was never able to talk about the topics discussed by these little girls.

"A woman's lipstick is like a bag, the more the better..." Keiko turned her head and looked over, "But when it comes to local tyrants, I'm far behind Xiao Yan. His coat costs tens of thousands."

"What are you talking about, tens of thousands?" Xiaoxin stood up abruptly, and exclaimed while grabbing the railing, "Xiao Yan, you are so willing to wear it, half a year's salary is all on your body."

Yan Jing is wearing that bright yellow hooded jacket today, the gift that Gu Xi can see is definitely not cheap, but he was still surprised when he heard the price, he would not have worn it to the store if he knew it, as if he was showing off on purpose like.

"No..." He quickly waved his hand, "The clothes are A-grade, I don't even know the brand, how could I buy luxury goods, besides, I don't have the financial strength."

"Product A, it doesn't look very similar..." Keiko didn't seem to believe his words, "Where did you buy it?"

"I have a friend who specializes in selling this kind of replica, but the workmanship is better..." Yan Jing said, "99 yuan free shipping, if you want to buy, I can tell you her store address, there are many styles."

He suddenly felt a little funny, Gu Xi had used the same set of rhetoric to perfuse him before, but he didn't expect that one day he would also need to learn from this kind of nonsense lie, and abruptly called the genuine product a fake.

However, the purpose of their lying should be very different, one is to pretend to be poor, the other is to prove that they are really poor, Keiko and Xiaoxin saw that what he said was serious, so they changed the topic.

If you have time, you have to arrest that prodigal son for re-education.

It's a pity that the prodigal son didn't give him this opportunity. For the next month, Gu Xi would go out early and return late every day. It was difficult to have a meal together, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

"You can just buy a ready-made birthday gift..." Shen Xu took a sip from his glass, "Why do you have to do it yourself?"

"You don't understand, it's meaningless to spend money on it..." Gu Xi cleared his throat, "I want to get something special, the one that's the only one. You have a lot of crazy ideas, so hurry up and help me think about it."

Xie Xiaochuan cleaned up the rice in the bowl, put down his chopsticks contentedly, and lit a cigarette: "As far as your hands-on ability, which is inferior to that of a primary school student, and what you can make, I advise you not to ask for trouble."

The last secret meeting didn't even discuss a fart. Gu Xi walked around the mall for two days and found a few DIY handmade shops. They basically made key chains, rag dolls, knitting yarn and other small gadgets , unremarkable.

The pottery studio was more compelling, but he gave up after staying for an afternoon.

This thing looks simple, but it is really not easy to learn. The clay has been pounded in his hands for several hours, and even the shape cannot be seen. The only difference is that it has changed from round to flat, and it is still a piece of mud.

In terms of artistic attainments, Xie Xiaochuan, a straight man with advanced cancer, is several grades better than him, at least he can build sandcastles.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense..." Gu Xi clicked his tongue, "I just want to ask if there is a quick and easy one?"

"I have a friend who opened a studio and usually does custom-made handicrafts..." Shen Xu said, "Why don't I take you there tomorrow for a consultation, maybe she can give you an idea."

"Okay, you can send me the location later." Gu Xi nodded excitedly.

"Dude, you don't seem to be in the right state..." Xie Xiaochuan lowered his voice, "What is the relationship between you and Yan Jing? I feel that you care more about him than your girlfriend. Do you two live and eat together? , have you been in love for a long time?"

"What a fart..." Gu Xi took a sip of his wine, and immediately coughed twice, "I just see that he's serving you pretty well, it's just reciprocity, don't talk nonsense."

"Serving, how do you serve?" Xie Xiaochuan narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "Let me teach you a more convenient way. On his birthday, you take off your clothes and get into the box, tie a bow on your body, and give yourself to him. .”

Shen Xu sighed helplessly: "Can you be serious, let's go, let's finalize the birthday present first."

On the drive back, Gu Xi seriously considered Xie Xiaochuan's very constructive proposal.

Although I felt a little absurd, my thoughts kept wandering uncontrollably, which seemed quite exciting.

He has been thinking about the matter of organizing a birthday for Rigorously since years ago. Eating and watching a movie seems a little too plain, there must be both surprises and meaning.

Rigorous likes the sea, so it's not difficult to sign up for a group trip to the Maldives, but he doesn't have such a long vacation, so if he is asked to resign in order to travel abroad, he probably won't agree to death.

If there are only two days, the seaside town that the logistics center organized employees to go to before should be very suitable.

The location is fixed, and other itineraries can be thought about slowly.

The location Shen Xu sent him was a newly built office building in the west of the city. There was a 200-meter-long commercial street next to it. It was just completed last year. It is not far from C University. The decoration of the shops is very distinctive, mainly catering and clothing stores.

Probably because the business district has not yet developed, and many stores are being rented out.

Gu Xi drove the car into the underground parking lot of the building, took the elevator up to the 16th floor, and when he stepped out of the car, he saw Shen Xu and a girl with short hair standing in front of the trash can in the corridor smoking.

The girl was wearing a black motorcycle leather jacket, pencil pants tucked into long Martin boots, and five studs on her right ear. She looked very handsome, like a tomboy.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time..." Shen Xu raised his arm and waved, "Let me introduce you, my friend, Ding Ding."

"Hello, Gu Xi." Gu Xi announced his family name, and then looked the girl from head to toe again.

Tintin?

How did you choose such a stage name...

It's really hard not to make people think about it.

"Come in." Ding Ding stubbed out his cigarette, turned and pushed open the glass door of the second room on the left.

There is no signboard in this studio. There is a small rhombus-shaped wooden signboard hanging on the door, with "Different Art" engraved in seal script on it, with white characters on a black background. It has the same personality as its owner, which is very different.

The house is covered with white marble floors, gray concrete walls, metal pipes wrapped in wires, and directly fixed to the walls with screws. At first glance, it looks like a blank room, a typical construction site style.

There is a square workbench in the hall, and some incomprehensible weird ornaments are placed on the surrounding display racks. A wrench is welded to a spring and dangles, and a humanoid clay sculpture with a head four times larger than its body.

Can this also be called a work of art? !

"Shen Xu told me the general situation..." Ding Ding opened the drawer in the middle of the big black lacquered wooden cabinet in the corner, "Do you have any specific requirements for birthday gifts?"

"Just, let's make it smaller..." Gu Xi frowned and hesitated for a while, "It's better not to be too complicated."

He didn't want to waste a lot of time and energy, only to return with a bunch of unknown things.

Maybe when the time comes, Yan Jing will think that he just scavenged garbage from the scrap yard, and it feels embarrassing to think about it.

"For a boyfriend..." Ding Ding turned and glanced at him, "How about making a bracelet?"

"No, no, it's not a boyfriend..." Gu Xi immediately shook his head and denied it, and was stared at by her, "It's just an ordinary male friend. Don't listen to Shen Xu's nonsense, he just likes to joke."

"I didn't say anything..." Shen Xu clicked his tongue, "You are so nice to an ordinary male friend, how come a close male friend like me has never accepted a gift made by you."

"You don't fucking make trouble there..." Gu Xi pointed at him, "I will definitely carve a dog's head for you on your birthday this year."

As soon as the words were finished, a petite girl with a ponytail and an oval face with big eyes came in from the door. She was very delicate and cute. She was carrying a double-layer bento box. It seemed that she was here to deliver meals.

"This is my girlfriend, Xiaoya..." Ding Ding walked over and kissed her on the cheek, and pulled her into his arms, "Although I haven't met your male friend, I can tell you just by looking at her." I know you are interested in people."

Gu Xi opened his mouth, but didn't say anything for a long time.

It was the first time he had seen a live lace edge in his age, and it was an eye-opener.

The range of Shen Xu's friends is simply beyond imagination. If they hadn't known each other for many years, Gu Xi would definitely mistake him for GAY.

But since he can be friends with Lala, at least it shows that Shen Xu has no prejudice against gay people.

"You are Gu Xi, right..." Xiaoya poured two glasses of fruit juice and put them on the tea table, her voice sounded very gentle, "I suggested giving you bracelets, and accessories that you can wear next to your body are more meaningful, if you want to do it For something more advanced, you can use red coral."

"It doesn't need to be too advanced..." Gu Xi smiled embarrassedly, and didn't continue to argue, "He doesn't like it."

It's not that I feel bad about money, I strictly said that it is not allowed to give too expensive gifts, I am afraid that I will listen to nagging after spending money, and Red Coral always feels a bit feminine, and it is strange for old men to wear red and green.

"Then use white coral, you can polish it..." Xiaoya said, "Pair it with a dzi bead, it's also very beautiful."

It’s a good idea. It’s a birthday party at the seaside. The raw materials of the gift are also things from the sea.

"Okay, then what can I do?" Gu Xi asked happily.
