CH 12.2

Name:Yan Yan Author:
Su Yan could not help but smile from ear to ear after receiving the unexpected gift.

"Do you like it?" Bai Xingfan's voice carried a doting smile.

"Yes, I like it so much!" She put the hidden money in the palm of her right hand, and said excitedly, "Did you know? This is hidden money! The production probability is 145:1! That is to say, there are 146 blind boxes. There is only one hidden item! I never thought that I would be able to win it."

After admiring enough of the hidden items, she couldn’t wait to open the second gift box, and the result surprised her even more. It turned out to be "art time."

What kind of luck was it today?

After another burst of excitement, she opened the third gift box full of fighting spirit. In fact, she didn't really care if she could get the "bubble bath" in the third blind box because the first two had already been brought. She has had enough surprises, and she was not a greedy person, so it didn't matter what the third one was.

However, after opening the third box, she was stunned—it turned out to be a "bubble bath."

"You, bought it?" she asked, her lips pursed, looking up at Bai Xingfan.

Her tone was full of embarrassment, surprise, and confusion—why did he do this?

Bai Xingfan's expression was as usual, and his tone was flat: "Went to show Xinglan the building block bear, and buy a few blind boxes, by the way." 

By the way? Is there such a coincidence in the world? By the way, he bought three, and all three are the models I wanted.

She remembered that she talked about collecting blind box toys when they were in the ancient town. But she didn’t think that he would remember such a trivial thing.

[TL Notes: The term "blind box" describes a particular style of packaging that conceals the collectible toy until it is opened. Typically, blind boxes come in series that display a collection.]

Suddenly, Su Yan felt uncomfortable when she thought of this. When an outstanding man treats a woman in a different way than he treats others, what does that reveal? Normally, the woman would feel that she was very attractive. But who was Bai Xingfan, and who was Su Yan? Both were like the sky and the earth. So she didn’t dare to overestimate her own charm, and she was more self-aware that a man like Bai Xingfan was not something she could afford, nor control, or he was just interested in her on a whim, or all of this was her fault. She thought too much, but she couldn't ignore this matter, let alone pretend to be confused.

What's more, she never thought that she and Bai Xingfan would develop further. The word "friend" was her final definition of the relationship between the two of them, and it was also the most basic bottom line. First, because she dared not climb high, and second because she felt that Bai Xingfan was not a partner who could bring people a sense of security. There were too many temptations around him—there were countless women who liked him, and there were many excellent ones among them. How could he not be moved by any of them?

Therefore, she could not accept this gift from him. At the same time, she also clearly realised that she must leave his home as soon as possible.

After making a decision, she said decisively: "Thank you very much, but I can't accept this gift." She was rejecting his kindness and his intention.

Of course, Bai Xingfan understood the true meaning of this sentence, but he asked knowingly: "Why didn't you accept it?"     

Su Yan looked at him and said seriously: "It's too precious."

Bai Xingfan's face was calm, and he said firmly: "I don't think so."

Su Yan shook her head again and apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."

She was  suddenly interrupted by the vibration of Bai Xingfan’s mobile phone.

Bai Xingfan's cell phone was placed on the coffee table, buzzing, and the caller ID was: Xiao Zhan.

However, Bai Xingfan didn’t pick up the phone, and said to Su Yan: "Answer it."

Su Yan hadn't contacted the outside world for a long time, but this time she chose to answer the phone because she had already decided to go home after knowing Bai Xingfan’s thoughts.

"Hello, Xiao Zhan, it’s me," she said.

"Sister?!" Su Zhan's voice was full of surprise, "Why did you answer the call?"

Su Yan is helpless: "Didn't you call me?"

Su Zhan: "It's really not for you this time, you hurry up and give the call to Brother Bai!"

Su Yan: "..." What?

Su Yan was surprised by her brother's request and didn’t want to give the phone to Bai Xingfan. "Say what you want to say!"

But her brother seemed not to listen to her: "Sister, please give the phone to brother Bai. It’s urgent."

Su Yan really had nothing to do with this silly Baitian. With a long sigh, she handed the phone to Bai Xingfan: "My brother has something to ask you." After speaking, she added in a low voice, "Turn on the speakerphone."

After Bai Xingfan took the phone, he turned on the speakerphone according to her request: "Xiao Zhan, it's me."

Su Zhan let out an exclamation as if seeing a great saviour: "Brother Bai!"
