The girlâs name was Zhang Nana. She had a cold expression and looked a little impatient.
Li Ningrui stood beside her and comforted her.
âDonât be anxious. My fatherâs colleague called me just now and said that heâll be here soon. Weâll go for dinner after we get our things.â
Li Ningrui was about the same height as Lin Yi, but he looked thinner than Lin Yi, making him seem a bit fragile.
âWhat did your family bring you?â Zhang Nana asked.
âThe seasons are about to change, right? My mom brought me some seasonal clothes and had my dadâs colleague deliver them.â
âOnly seasonal clothes?â
âYeah.â Li Ningrui was a little confused. He didnât know why his girlfriend would ask such a question.
âDonât they give you some living expenses?â
âTheyâve already given me my living expenses at the beginning of the month. Itâs only halfway through the month, so itâs not time to get my allowance again.â
âSo, you have only 300 yuan left for your living expenses this month. My birthday is next week. What are you going to use to buy me a gift?â
âHeheâ¦â Li Ningrui laughed. âDonât worry, Iâve prepared everything for you. 1 guarantee that youâll be satisfied.â
âHuh??â Zhang Nanaâs eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked,
âWhat gift did you prepare for me?â
âItâs a birthday present for you. Thereâs no point in saying it in advance. Iâll give it to you on your birthday.â
âDonât you know that Iâm very curious? I donât think 1 can wait until next week. Tell me quickly.â
âIâve prepared a photo album for you. Iâve taken screenshots of our photos and printed out our chats as well. Theyâre all in the photo album and Iâm prepared to give them to you as a birthday gift.â
âUm⦠your so-called birthday present is a photo album?â
âThatâs right. When we flip through the photo album in the future, weâll be able to recall the sweetness of the past. I think a gift like this is priceless.â
Zhang Nanaâs expression immediately changed.
âLi Ningrui, are you playing dumb with me?!â
Faced with his girlfriendâs question, Li Ningruiâs expression remained innocent.
âWhat did I do?â
âOn my roommateâs birthday, her boyfriend either gave her branded cosmetics or branded bags. The cheapest one cost more than 2,000 yuan, but you gave me a lousy photo album. If my roommate finds out, sheâll laugh at me. Do you want me to embarrass myself and be unable to raise my head in the dormitory?!â
âI, I donât!â Li Ningrui explained.
âI think giving those materialistic gifts is too cliche. Inside the photo album are pictures of the two of us, filled with our memories. Thatâs what really matters!â
âForget it. 1 think you just donât love me. You just bought a random photo album to fool me!â Zhang Nana said.
âLooks like I need to reconsider our relationship. 1 donât want to marry someone who doesnât love me.â
âBut, but I really donât have that much money to buy you gifts.â
âIf you donât have money, ask your family for it. Are you waiting for a pie to fall from the sky?â
âYo, Nana, why arenât you eating? What are you doing here?â
Just as the two of them were arguing, they suddenly saw three people walking out of the school gate.
One of them was a man and a woman holding hands. It was not difficult to tell that they were a couple.
The person who spoke was Zhang Nanaâs roommate, Liu Yayue.
âWeâre going out later.â
âYou donât look too good. Did you quarrel again?â Liu Yayue walked over and asked.
âLetâs not talk about it.â
âHeâs giving me a lousy photo album for my birthday next week. How can you blame me for being angry?!â
âNo way. Your birthday is such an important day, yet heâs only giving you a photo album?â Liu Yayue pouted.
It was understandable to give someone cheap gifts if they didnât have money, but they were all adults. It was too childish to give another person childrenâs toys.
âIn my opinion, the two of you are just not compatible. How many people in the county have good family backgrounds? 1 advise you not to waste time on him. Hurry up and break up with him and move on,â Liu Yayue whispered.
âItâs just that 1 havenât finished my graduation thesis yet. If that fool doesnât help me, Iâm afraid it will be difficult for me to graduate.â Zhang Nana whispered, âOtherwise, I would have broken up with him long ago.â
âThatâs easy, keep up appearances with him while secretly dating someone else. That way, you wonât miss out,â Liu Yayue said.
âYou think high-quality guys are just readily available? Itâs not that simple to find one.â
âHow about my boyfriendâs childhood friend? He graduated just last year, and now he earns over ten thousand a month. Plus, heâs not bad-looking either. Want to have dinner with us and get to know each other?â
âReally? Heâs so well-off and yet heâs still single?â
âOf course. Why would I lie to you?â
âAlright, Iâll wait for a while.â
After speaking to Liu Yayue in a low voice, Zhang Nana looked at Li Ningrui. âWait here by yourself. Weâre going to eat.â
âEat? Didnât we agree to eat together?â Li Ningrui said.
âBesides, there are people you donât know here. Itâs not appropriate for you to go-â
âWhat do you mean we donât know each other? Weâll get to know each other after eating once.â Zhang Nana said.
âDonât tell me you want to restrict my right to make friends? Weâre just a couple. You have no right to ask about my private matters!â
Hearing the argument at the school gate, the people who went out for lunch subconsciously looked over and couldnât help but point.
Both parties were angry at this moment.
âI just didnât buy you any expensive gifts. Is there a need to do this?!â
âIâm just having a meal with my roommate. Why are you meddling in everything?!â Zhang Nana said.
âAlright then. If you really want to go, letâs break up!â
Hearing this, Zhang Nana and Liu Yayue were both stunned.
Neither of them expected this nerd to say such a thing.
âLi Ningrui, what do you mean? Are you threatening me?!â Zhang Nana questioned.
âDid you think I wouldnât dare?â
âI just donât want you to eat with her!â
âI insist on going today!â Zhang Nana pointed at Li Ningrui and said.
âFrom now on, the two of us are finished. Iâll leave you, poor man. Any one guy out there is better than you!â
Li Ningrui clenched his fists and gritted his teeth!
âYouâll regret this!â
âHehe, Iâm about to graduate. You didnât even get a job offer and youâre saying that Iâll regret it?â Zhang Nana snorted coldly.
âAm 1 supposed to regret not going back home with you to farm?â
âAlright, Nana, since weâve already broken up, donât bother with him anymore. Letâs go out and have a good meal to celebrate your liberation.â
âLetâs go. Iâve had enough of being with him!â
Just as Zhang Nana and the others were leaving, they suddenly heard a cry of surprise.
âLook, itâs the Rolls-Royce Phantom!â
