After opening the greeting card, Lan Ningâs expression changed. She quickly closed the card and said, âYou better wrap this gift back up quickly!â
Li Li asked, âWhat happened? Could it be that there really is a trap inside this gift?â Holding the glass flower above her head and looking at it against the light, she wondered, âIs there a bomb inside this?â
Lan Ning said nervously, âThe thing inside is even more terrifying than a bomb.â
More terrifying than a bomb? It couldnât be a bacterial bomb, could it?
Li Li, in a panic, put the glass flower down, âNo good, I have to wash my hands with disinfectant to avoid being poisoned.â
Lan Ning was taken aback, then said, âThereâs no poison in it, itâs just that the person sending the gift isnât very nice.â
Li Li stopped in her tracks, âWho sent the gift?â
Lan Ning hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still handed the card to Li Li, âAfter you read the card, you mustnât get angry.â
Li Li scanned the card briefly, then said with disdain, âDoes he think he can win you over by sending some lousy flowers?â
Lan Ning said, âIâm not going to be with him, so you can rest easy.â
Li Li said, âThatâs not what I mean. What I want to say is Wu Haoâs taste is really bad. Despite being so good-looking, he has such poor taste. Itâs such a waste of his good looks.â
Lan Ning couldnât understand why âgood looks and tasteâ were linked, but now was not the time to argue with Li Li. The priority was to deal with the gift.
âLi Li, letâs go return the gift to Wu Hao,â Lan Ning said, picking up the wrapping paper and rewrapping it as it was before, âAlthough we opened it to take a look, we didnât damage it, so I hope Wu Hao can take it back. If he thinks we tampered with his gift, then Iâll just buy him a new one.â
Li Li said with disdain, âWhy would you buy another one of those ugly things? Donât waste the money. If he refuses to accept it, just throw it on the ground. After all, youâve already returned it to him, whether he wants to take it back is his own problem.â
True to Li Liâs style, she always had a simple and brutal way to deal with problems, but Li Liâs methods were effective. If Lan Ning and Wu Hao kept going back and forth over the gift, thereâs no telling how long it would drag on.
Lan Ning sealed the box again with tape and then placed it back in the brown paper bag, âHe should be in his dorm right now, letâs just go and wait for him downstairs.â
Li Li said, âI have his roommateâs WeChat, if he doesnât come down, then weâll get his roommate to come down to collect it.â
Previously, Lan Ning had also returned gifts this way, mentioning it to Wu Hao afterward, and no matter what Wu Hao said, Lan Ning would simply ignore him.
Carrying the very heavy bag, Li Li and Lan Ning arrived at the entrance of the boysâ dormitory, where there were many people, mostly couples reluctant to part.
Lan Ning sent a message to Wu Hao, saying she had something to give him and asked him to come down to collect it. This was Li Liâs suggestion; if Lan Ning directly mentioned returning the gift to Wu Hao, he definitely wouldnât come down. But if she mentioned giving a gift to Wu Hao, he might come down to take a look.
As expected, Wu Hao came down. His legs seemed to have wheels on them as he ran quickly; just now he was at the gate, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of them, not looking like someone with an injured leg at all.
Seeing Li Li, Wu Haoâs expression became unnatural for a moment, but he greeted her anyway, âWhat a coincidence, Junior Li Li, to bump into you here.â
Li Li rolled her eyes, saying irritably, âWhat coincidence? I came here specifically to find you.â
Wu Hao took a step back and said, âJunior Li Li, we really arenât suitable for each other, please donât come to harass me anymore.â
Li Li crossed her arms, impatiently retorting, âDonât flatter yourself. Although I liked you before, youâve already rejected me, so why would I continue liking you? There are so many attractive people in the world, Iâll just go find someone else.â
Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Lan Ning and asked, âJunior Lan Ning, did you see the gift I sent you?â
Lan Ning chuckled awkwardly, âI saw it, thank you for the gift. But I feel itâs not quite suitable for me, so itâs better to return it to you.â
Finishing her words, she handed over the tote bag she was holding, âHere, itâs for you.â
