Seeing Yu Shu’s face practically glowing with anticipation, Yan Jin suddenly felt a little bit of reluctance.
Sigh, Round Round was smiling so happily. If he knew what kind of gift she was giving, his face might droop.
But… seeing Round Round’s slightly puffed-up cheeks and his resentful gaze, Yan Jin suppressed that little bit of reluctance.
When Round Round was unhappy, he looked vibrant and beautiful, making people itch with an urge to do bad things to him.
In the past, she didn’t have the chance. Now that she was together with Round Round, when he got angry, she could finally openly kiss him into submission.
Having figured it out, Yan Jin threw that last bit of reluctance to Java.
Yan Jin tried hard to hold back her laughter and handed the box to Yu Shu.
Yu Shu’s hands were trembling a little as he joyfully took the box.
But this joy instantly vanished when Yu Shu opened the box and saw a thick, shiny gold bar lying inside.
[It’s actually a gold bar! Yan Smiles is really generous!] [Oh my, although giving gold is very practical, judging from Yu Shu’s expression, he doesn’t seem to like this kind of gift at all!] [Romantic and sensitive, with the heart of a young boy, how could Yu Shu possibly like a plain and simple gold bar? Let me take it. I’ll bear this pain!]Yu Shu pursed his lips. Even though the gold bar was engraved with four big characters: “Love is stronger than gold,” the moment he saw the gold bar, Yu Shu still felt his vision go black and wanted to faint on the spot.
After the huge surprise, discovering that what lay in the box was not the romantic and exquisite gift Yu Shu had imagined, but an ordinary gold bar, Yu Shu couldn’t help but feel a tremendous sense of disappointment.
Actually, a gold bar was not bad. If it were someone else, Smiles might not even be willing to give away a gold bar. Smiles gave him a gold bar and even had someone engrave “Love is stronger than gold” on it. Didn’t this prove that Smiles liked him very, very, very much?
Yu Shu kept comforting himself in his heart, but the more he comforted himself, the more depressed he felt.
If it were when they had just met, it would be completely normal for Smiles to give this gift without knowing his preferences.
But now that they had known each other for so long and were even together, it was impossible for Smiles to not understand his preferences at all.
Since Smiles knew his preferences and still gave such a gift, there could only be one reason: Smiles was preparing to tease him again.
But even though Yu Shu knew, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
Anyone would feel very down after having a bucket of cold water poured on them when they were filled with joy.
Yu Shu even began to wildly imagine: did Smiles not like him at all? Was that why she deliberately gave him such a gift, to indirectly make him understand her true feelings?
But when Yu Shu saw those four characters on the gold bar, he retracted his wild guesses.
If Smiles had no feelings for him at all, she wouldn’t have engraved “Love is stronger than gold” on the gold bar.
After much thought, Yu Shu finally arrived at a cruel truth: Smiles, she didn’t have low emotional intelligence, she had no emotional intelligence at all!
To think he had previously thought that after being with him, Smiles would have picked up at least a little bit of a romantic factor.
After all, Smiles’ previous operation of filling the wardrobe with carnations was truly outstanding. It had made Yu Shu, who never had any expectations for Yan Jin’s emotional intelligence, inappropriately raise his expectations.
But now it seemed that his Smiles had never passed the emotional intelligence test.
Yan Jin just watched as Yu Shu frowned one moment and sighed the next, not knowing what he was thinking, and for once felt a little guilty.
This time, Round Round seemed very unhappy with the gift.
Yu Shu comforted himself in his heart for a long time before finally accepting this plain and simple gift.
He understood love the most. To see if someone loved you, you had to see if they were willing to spend money on you.
So what if Smiles had no emotional intelligence? No matter how lacking she was in that department, she still gave him a valuable gold bar!
Smiles loved him! More than anyone else!
Having completely convinced himself, Yu Shu looked at Yan Jin, the corners of his lips curling into a smile. “Smiles, thank you. I really like your gift.”
Yan Jin thought Round Round was being sarcastic, but after looking again and again, Round Round was actually sincerely thanking her?!
Had Round Round been angered to the point of insanity by her?
But why?
Round Round actually accepted it well this time? What on earth had he imagined on his own just now?
The confusion on Yan Jin’s face was almost materialized, making the live stream viewers nearly laugh themselves to death.
[I’m about to laugh myself into convulsions. Yan Smiles is online and confused: why would Yu Round Round be happy? Shouldn’t he be so angry that he bites her lips to vent?] [Not easy. Yu Shu actually didn’t get angry from being teased by Yan Jin this time.] [What’s so strange about that? After all, Yu Shu is a mature and steady adult. Even if he’s been teased by Yan Jin so many times, he’s already developed a “calm in the face of favor or humiliation” state of mind.]…
[The one above, for a moment, I can’t tell if you’re praising Yu Shu or satirizing him.] [The childish Yu Shu has grown up. My source of joy is gone, boo hoo.]The confusion on Yan Jin’s face, even the live stream viewers had noticed it, let alone Yu Shu who spent day and night with her and knew her better than anyone else.
Even though Yu Shu had been mentally prepared, knowing that Yan Jin had deliberately played this trick to tease him, seeing Yan Jin’s obvious puzzlement, Yu Shu still felt a little like rolling his eyes.
Smiles was perfect in every way, except for her love of teasing him.
Yu Shu: “Are you very disappointed that you didn’t see me get angry from your teasing?”
Just as Yu Shu understood Yan Jin, Yan Jin also understood Yu Shu very well. Seeing that his tone seemed a bit off, she immediately explained, “It’s not that serious. I’m just a little bit disappointed. After all, Round Round, you look especially beautiful when you’re angry. Every time I see it, I want to give you a fierce kiss.”
Originally, Yu Shu was still a bit sulky, but hearing Yan Jin’s undisguised and straightforward words, his ear tips still uncontrollably flushed red.
“You always do this.” Yu Shu rubbed his burning ears and mumbled, “Every time I’m unhappy, you say these sweet nothings to coax me.”
“How can these be considered sweet nothings?” Yan Jin spoke with righteous indignation, “These are all my heartfelt truths.”
“And you say they’re not sweet nothings.” Yu Shu glanced at her. “I’m almost dizzy from you feeding me too much.”
What Smiles really gave wasn’t a gold bar, it was something else.
Ah, a gold bar. Sigh, I also really want to bear this pain.
The handsome young man I sent to my bestie arrived. She’s socially dead.
