A Snow Biscuit
Chapter 550 The Five Metals for Xia Xinyu
"Five golds?"
Hearing this word, the clerk was stunned, not quite believing her ears.
If it's five golds... shouldn't you go to a hardware store? This is a jewelry store!
"This, this, and this, pack them all up for me," Chen Yuan said, seeing that today's gold price was acceptable, so he decided decisively.
"..." The clerk's eyes lit up, after all, this was a big order. But as she prepared to take them out, she suddenly became alert, looked at Chen Yuan, and asked, "Are you sure you want them?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chen Yuan asked, puzzled.
"These might be a bit expensive altogether. How will you be paying?" the clerk asked.
Which high school student has this much money?
Although some young masters get extravagant lucky money during the New Year, that's a minority.
If he's using his parents' credit card without their knowledge, that's trouble.
So, she had to ask clearly.
"Got it."
Chen Yuan nodded, looking calm.
"Huh? What is it?" the clerk asked, confused.
Then, she saw Chen Yuan walk to another, older clerk and proactively say, "I want to buy five golds, these items."
"..." The first clerk was dumbfounded. Had she been NTR'd? (netorare - a term referring to the situation where one's romantic partner is cheating with someone else)
He really wants to buy them?
"Okay, what ring size do you need? For the finger and the bracelet," the older clerk asked.
"Wait." At that moment, Chen Yuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her.
These were the measurements he had secretly taken of Xia Xinyu one night at home.
"Okay, that size should be fine."
"Okay, pack them all up nicely, and put the invoice inside."
Chen Yuan was still decisive, without any hesitation.
Because he still had evening self-study to attend.
"Let me calculate the total first."
After the clerk calculated it, she handed the total price to Chen Yuan.
"Round it down to the nearest hundred."
"That's too much..."
"Not even a few dozen yuan?"
"Okay."
Just like that, the two agreed. Then, Chen Yuan directly took out his phone and showed her the payment code.
With a "ding," the payment was successful.
Then, he placed the order extremely decisively.
Such a huge expenditure, taking less than ten minutes from start to finish. The older clerk couldn't stop smiling...
The other clerk was filled with astonishment.
Seriously, what does a high school student need five golds for?
Are you sure you won't return them?
This guy will definitely return them!
………
Today was a huge expense.
But this was the most grand coming-of-age gift that Chen Yuan could think of.
And Yu-zi (term of endearment) should be able to accept this.
Although he could already foresee that the silly girl would definitely say no, no, you should return it, it's too expensive, but she had no say in it.
Southeastern men are like this, full of authority at home.
They do whatever they say they're going to do.
If they say they're going to spoil their wives, they must spoil their wives.
Xinyu, your strongman has arrived.
Just like that, Chen Yuan carried these things and returned to school.
Because it was too conspicuous, he chose to return to school just before class started, and entered the classroom through the back door, sneaking to his seat.
Now it was the last evening self-study session on Saturday.
Tomorrow was the 23rd, and they happened to have a day off.
And the dawn of tomorrow would officially be October 24th.
Fortunately, the weather cooperated, giving Chen Yuan time to celebrate Xinyu's birthday a little early.
But what was a bit exaggerated was that Si Zhong (Fourth High School) didn't even have a day off anymore, only half a day on Sunday.
This was the intensity of a top-tier sect.
No wonder there are even ghosts in the corridors of Si Zhong.
Of course, Shi Yi Zhong (Eleventh High School) had also changed.
Originally, Saturday dismissal was quite early, but now it was no different from Monday to Friday, with evening self-study ending at 9:30 PM.
"Haa—" Because she was too tired, Zhou Fu next to him couldn't hold on anymore and yawned.
And this yawn spread to the students behind, like He Sijiao and the others, who couldn't help but follow suit...
Just like that, yawns rose and fell in the classroom.
"Are you that sleepy?" Lao Mo (old Mo - teacher) on the podium complained, "Each and every one of you."
After he said that, everyone dared not yawn anymore.
The culprit, Zhou Fu, felt a little aggrieved. While writing problems with her head down, she couldn't help but say, "If I had known, I would have lived at school. School ends so late and starts so early, and I still have to struggle with an hour of commuting..."
"You don't mention the two hours of manga every day at all?"
"Where is it?" Zhou Fu retorted seriously, "At most an hour, okay?"
"You really don't treat yourself unfairly at all."
Only Zhou Da-fu (Zhou the Great Fu) could resist being infected by her own diligent study attitude.
But on the other hand, she was also the earliest person to prepare for the 211 (top-tier university project).
"By the way, what are you planning to give Xinyu for her birthday?" Zhou Fu asked curiously.
"How do you know it's her birthday?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Just kidding, we remember each other's birthdays, and I even bought her something," Zhou Fu said.
"Thank you for your concern for my wife."
"It's nothing, it's just that your wife is really great."
"... Damn."
"Show me quickly, what did you buy?" Zhou Fu couldn't wait.
Seeing that she was so curious, Chen Yuan didn't play coy. He took out the things in the small boxes, and with a big hand, placed them all in front of Zhou Fu.
"?!" Zhou Fu covered her mouth in surprise, but still made some noises that disturbed the class.
"Zhou Fu, if you want to talk, go talk outside," Lao Mo reminded sternly.
"..." Zhou Fu quickly lowered her head, not daring to say much.
But looking at these gold jewelry, she felt that Chen Yuan was really outrageous...
Giving gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold rings, gold earrings, and gold pendants for her birthday... are you trying to marry Xia Xinyu ahead of time?
"You didn't discuss such a big thing with me?" Keeping her voice as low as possible, Zhou Fu whispered.
Then, Chen Yuan slowly typed: "Who are you?"
Just a mere Fu-zi (term of endearment) and she's already acting like this.
I haven't even told my real mom!
No, what do you mean "real mom"...
"Where did you get the money..." Zhou Fu was very puzzled.
"The compensation from Zheng Qi when he beat me up..."
"Wait, who beat who?"
"It's hard to say, but he did drop the gold coins..."
"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"
Zhou Fu was a little puzzled when she saw Chen Yuan freeze up. But the next moment, she froze.
Then, she slowly raised her head.
In front of her was a majestic Buddha.
Seeing this, she subconsciously used her arm to shield herself...
"Take it out," Lao Mo said.
All the students in the class looked over nervously, wanting to know what had happened.
Originally, Lao Mo wouldn't criticize Zhou Fu.
Unless she chatted with Chen Yuan too much...
But today, this girl had been talking and talking below.
And it seemed like she was playing with something?
Was it that fun?
I'm just going to confiscate it!
"Hurry up." Seeing that Zhou Fu still didn't want to hand it over, Lao Mo tapped his hand and reminded her impatiently.
This child was usually fine, what was she doing today?
"..." Zhou Fu had no choice but to look at Chen Yuan apologetically. Then, she slowly let go of her hand.
Next, several glittering gold jewelry were exposed...
"?!" Seeing this, Lao Mo was dumbfounded.
Playing with this stuff in class?
Also, is this real?
So, he looked up in surprise and saw Chen Yuan holding his forehead and Zhou Fu looking embarrassed...
Could it be that this was Chen Yuan's stuff?
"It seems to be a gold bracelet, holy crap..."
"Why bring this thing to school?"
"Whose is it?"
Seeing that everyone was starting to discuss, Lao Mo directly took the things away. Then, he said to everyone, "Quiet, read your books."
Just like that, Lao Mo returned to the podium.
Zhou Fu was also full of guilt, looking at Chen Yuan apologetically, as if to say: I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'll do whatever you want me to do now...
Fine, then go and snatch the things back.
Sigh—
There was no way, Chen Yuan had to wait for evening self-study to end.
When everyone left the classroom one after another, he prepared to go to the podium. Zhou Fu wanted to go with him.
"You go back first," Chen Yuan said.
"Should I explain to the teacher..." Zhou Fu said.
"It's okay, you go, I'll explain."
Just like that, Chen Yuan went there.
At this time, there were still a few people in the class walking outside the classroom, and they pricked up their ears, eavesdropping on the conversation inside the classroom...
Finally, after only Chen Yuan and Lao Mo remained, the two looked at each other.
Placing these things on the podium, Lao Mo asked, full of puzzlement, "Really?"
"Yeah, really."
"Whose are they?"
"Mine..."
"If I'm not mistaken." Lao Mo looked at these gold jewelry that he had also given to Teacher Che Shujun, and asked, full of 'seeking solution', "This setup is usually only used during weddings, right?"
"That's the logic," Chen Yuan said.
"Then what is this?" Lao Mo still couldn't understand.
"Tomorrow is Xinyu's birthday... to be precise, it's a coming-of-age ceremony, her 18th birthday," Chen Yuan said.
"You, you're giving her these for her birthday?!"
Lao Mo was completely dumbfounded.
Giving so much stuff just for her birthday.
Then when they get married, wouldn't he have to move an entire store for her?
"I really couldn't think of what else to give..."
"You're still innocent." Lao Mo was still surprised, but he returned all these things to Chen Yuan and said, "Put the things away, stuff them in your bag, be careful to keep them safe, don't lose them."
"Thank you, teacher," Chen Yuan said.
"So, Zhou Fu was surprised by this?" Lao Mo asked.
"Yeah, she asked me if I had thought of a gift and insisted on seeing it, so I showed it to her..."
"That's good, they're some very valuable gifts."
Lao Mo didn't expect Chen Yuan's family to be so rich, so he didn't say much. Then, he reminded, "But don't let the classmates in the class know about this kind of thing. It might not have a good impact, understand?"
"Yeah, I know."
Originally, he wouldn't let many people know, but because of what you did...
Perhaps it's hard to say.
At this moment, a certain male dormitory in Class 18.
"I saw it, it was a gold bracelet, a gold ring, and a bunch of jewelry..."
"Could it be that someone gave it to Zhou Fu? Ah! My goddess..."
"No, it seems to be Chen Yuan's. I saw Chen Yuan go to Lao Mo to ask for it after class."
"Then Chen Yuan is giving it to Zhou Fu?"
"Nonsense, of course not! All you know how to do is talk nonsense!"
"Then Chen Yuan is giving it to Xia Xinyu... damn, giving such a valuable gift? Moreover, this is the standard for weddings!"
"What? Chen Yuan is going to marry Xia Xinyu?"
………
Class 18, a certain female dormitory.
"I heard a boy in the class say that Chen Yuan is going to marry Xia Xinyu."
"Holy crap, that's so exciting!"
"Yeah, he prepared five golds. I saw it with my own eyes during evening self-study today."
"That's so happy, marrying a high school classmate (even though it's next door)..."
"It's telling you to marry a high school classmate, not telling you to marry a classmate while you're in high school!"
"Chen Yuan is really generous. Many men don't want to buy five golds even when they get married, and they're stingy even buying three golds."
"But why get married so early... could it be that it's a shotgun wedding?"
"What? Chen Yuan and Xia Xinyu have a child!"
………
On Saturday night, Chen Yuan, who had slipped home alone, lay on the bed, quietly enjoying the peace and thinking about Yu-zi's (term of endearment) "coming-of-age ceremony" tomorrow.
He was in a pretty good mood.
He wondered what Xinyu would think of such a gift.
After declining it, she would definitely accept it with great emotion, then kiss him fiercely, and even couldn't help but eat him up...
Already wanting to be eaten, expecting.jpg.
………
After the morning self-study class ended, Xia Xinyu hurriedly carried her schoolbag and left the school.
Today was the 23rd, but because it was the weekend, she was going to celebrate her birthday with Chen Yuan early.
After today, both of them would be eighteen years old...
Thinking of this, her face turned red.
But Chen Yuan had said that they would practice kung fu after the college entrance examination, so she didn't have any more expectations about that.
Just like that, she took the bus back to their little home with a very happy mood.
As quickly as possible, she arrived at the door.
After knocking on the door, Chen Yuan opened it after a short while.
What hit her face was the aroma of food.
Looking over, she found a large table of very "hard" dishes (meaning elaborately prepared dishes).
At the same time, there were many takeout boxes in the trash can.
"Some of them I made, some are takeout." To this, Chen Yuan said with great confidence, "My cooking skills have become so exquisite that they're on par with takeout. You definitely won't be able to tell the difference."
"... You're so great, baby."
Honestly, Xia Xinyu could tell the difference at a glance.
But the child had worked so hard to prepare for so long, it was out of good intentions, so she would definitely go along with what he said.
Just like that, she put down her schoolbag. Just as she was about to go to the table, Chen Yuan suddenly called out to her and stretched out his arm: "Xinyu, help me pull this thread."
Looking at a black thread on his cuff, Xia Xinyu couldn't help but smile.
Which short sleeve can pull out a thread...
And aren't your short sleeves white?
Is this another little trick you learned from the internet?
You little clever ghost, you have so many tricks.
Just like that, she smiled and reached out, grabbed the thread, and didn't expose Chen Yuan. Just like that, she slowly pulled it out...
Then, slowly, a pure gold chain was pulled out.
The more she pulled, the more things appeared.
Bracelets, rings, earrings, and pendants tied to the chain...
After taking all of these out, her smile suddenly froze.
"Happy birthday, Xinyu," Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"..."
Looking at these things, she couldn't hold back. Then, tears welled up in her eyes, and she shook her head, saying, "No, I don't want them."
Then, she hugged herself.
At this time, Chen Yuan smiled and stroked her back, teasingly saying, "Why don't you want them? Isn't this a good birthday gift?"
"It's very good, but I..." Xia Xinyu continued to shake her head, saying with some sobs, "It's too expensive, I don't want them..."
"This is very value-preserving. Just think of it as saving money. If you want to exchange them later, then sell them," Chen Yuan consoled.
"I won't exchange anything you give me."
"Then you should be even happier to accept them..."
"I don't want them."
Interrupting Chen Yuan's words, Xia Xinyu slowly raised her head.
Chen Yuan looked at the teary-eyed girl, looking at him with tears in her eyes, shaking her head, and choking out, "Keep it... to buy our little home..."
