Chapter 135: The Same Gift

Everyone couldn’t help but look at Lin Yi. They didn’t know if he would accept this gift or not.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment before looking at Jian Yiyi. “You’ve already helped me a lot today. I’ll forget about the gift. Thank you.”

He rejected her.

It wasn’t that Lin Yi was biased against Jian Yiyi, but he felt that Jian Yiyi had just transferred here and the two of them had only known each other for a few days. She was very attentive and considerate in the arrangements for today, and he was very grateful for that. However, Lin Yi still couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable, as if Jian Yiyi’s passion for him exceeded what it should have been.

Jian Yiyi froze on the spot with her gift in hand. Everyone focused their gaze on her. However, Lin Yi rejected her gift so directly that Jian Yiyi, who had strong self-esteem, was suddenly at a loss. Her face turned red.

It was not embarrassment, but shamelessness.

“But… I already bought it…” Jian Yiyi felt wronged and sounded like she was crying.

Li Yunmei watched everything from the side. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, “Lin Yi, Yiyi specially bought you a gift. If you don’t accept it, you’re not giving her face.”

“Xiao Mei, don’t say that.” Jian Yiyi pursed her lips and looked up at Lin Yi. Then, she said sadly, “Maybe I’m overthinking things. No one treats me as a friend.”

With things having come to this, if Lin Yi did not give in now, there was no way to end the situation. Yan Tian, who was at the side, also felt that it was just a gift that represented her intentions. Today was Lin Yi’s birthday, so it was reasonable for him to accept it.

He bumped Lin Yi with his arm and whispered, “Brother, take it. Jian Yiyi is almost crying.”

Lin Yi sighed in his heart. At this moment, his instinctive reaction was to look up at Jian Ai. He saw Jian Ai standing in the corner with a calm expression, as if she did not react. Only then did Lin Yi reach out to take it. “Thank you.”

Seeing that Lin Yi had taken it, Jian Yiyi instantly became agitated again. She quickly said, “Open it and take a look.”

Lin Yi didn’t want to create any more awkwardness. He could only follow Jian Yiyi’s words and open the packaging box under everyone’s gaze.

When everyone saw the gift in the box, they were all stunned.

“This…” Yan Tian blinked awkwardly.

In the exquisite packaging box, a vermillion fountain pen lay silently. There was a dark-yellow gem embedded in the pen.

Lin Yi recognized the brand at a glance. It was his usual fountain pen brand. A fountain pen was sold for about ten thousand yuan, and this fountain pen had a gem embedded in it. It could only be more expensive.

“Damn. What’s going on!” Xia Qinghuan immediately rolled her eyes.

Everyone regained their senses and instinctively looked up at Jian Ai.

Jian Yiyi and Jian Ai bought the same gifts, fountain pens!

“Is it very popular to give fountain pens recently?” Yan Tian muttered in wonder.

Guan Tao could not help but cough awkwardly.

Jian Yiyi acted as if she didn’t notice everyone’s abnormality. She looked at the stunned Lin Yi and said, “The pens in your bag are all of this brand. I think you might like this brand’s fountain pen. This is a newly released global, limited edition. There are only twelve pens in twelve colors. I initially wanted to buy you a sapphire or black pen, but unfortunately, they had been pre-ordered.”

Jian Yiyi looked regretful.
