Chapter 1232 New Year's Gift, Wang Ying Is Shocked
Winter vacation is relaxing and happy, but it is also fleeting.
Domestic colleges and universities have started to reopen one after another, and Zhou Chen has also embarked on the road back to his country.
This time, Zhou Guoxing and Tao Li were not as reluctant to say goodbye as they were the last time. After all, they had been together for more than a month during the holidays, so there was not much sadness in saying goodbye again.
During the vacation, they had already asked Zhou Chen about his future plans and learned about Zhou Chen's decision.
Although Zhou Chen would return to China to do business in the future, he would still stay in Chinatown most of the time, which made them completely relieved.
They have become accustomed to the existence of Zhou Chen, their grandson, and as they grow older day by day, they naturally hope that Zhou Chen can stay with them to fulfill their filial piety.
Zhou Chen was naturally very clear about their expectations, and this seemed to him a matter of course.
You raised me up, and I will accompany you until you grow old. That's what he thought in his heart anyway.
Beiqing University, dormitory 213, female dormitory building.
The four-person dormitory group gathered together again after a winter vacation.
Xu Lin, who was the most noisy, was even more excited. As soon as he saw the other three people, he excitedly rushed over to give them a hug.
When it was Wang Ying's turn, she was pushed away by Wang Ying in disgust as soon as she started to touch her. However, she was thick-skinned enough and still hugged Wang Ying forcefully. Wang Ying was so angry that she had no choice but to do anything.
"Xu Lin, you've lost me during the winter vacation, and your face has become even rounder."
Xu Lin chuckled and said: "During the Chinese New Year, you must eat something good. It's normal to be a little fatter. But the eldest lady, you are more beautiful than before the holiday. Qianxi and Qiaoqiao are also getting more and more beautiful." Beautiful.”
Xiao Qianxi smiled and said: "It has to be Xu Lin, his mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
Xie Qiao also smiled and said: "Xu Lin is the most talkative in our dormitory. Wang Ying, I heard that you went to Phuket with Yang Cheng during your vacation?"
"He told you everything. He went out for a walk during the Chinese New Year."
Wang Ying tidied the bedding. In the new semester, she naturally changed into new sheets, quilts and other daily necessities. She was not the kind of person who could save everything. Her own comfort was the first priority.
The four of them hadn't seen each other during the winter vacation, and they had a lot to talk about when they met again. Xiao Qianxi and Wang Ying talked less, but Xu Lin and Xie Qiao kept talking about interesting things about their New Year.
"Qiao Qiao, what do you mean, you spent most of the winter vacation with Qin Chuan?" Xu Lin scratched his head and asked.
Xie Qiao didn't think there was any problem and nodded with a smile.
Wang Ying, on the other hand, frowned slightly. She could naturally see that Qin Chuan's feelings for Xie Qiao were unusual, but now Xie Qiao was her girlfriend Yang Cheng, so when she saw Xie Qiao kept talking about Qin Chuan, she felt He didn't talk about Yang Cheng much, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't say anything because she wasn't optimistic that Yang Cheng and Xie Qiao could really get together.
If it were in the past, she would definitely fight against the injustice, because in the past, Yang Cheng's status in her mind was far higher than that of Xie Qiao and others.
But things are different now. Ever since she became friends with Zhou Chen, especially after experiencing the gift-giving on Valentine's Day, her heart has gradually changed.
The phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was Zhou Chen calling her. As soon as the call was connected, she heard Zhou Chen's voice.
"Come down, I'm downstairs, I have something for you."
After secretly glancing at her three roommates, she stood up calmly.
"I have something to go out for."
Xie Qiao and the three of them were not together and continued talking.
When Wang Ying just walked out of the girls' dormitory, she saw Zhou Chen standing in front of the iron gate of the dormitory building, and she walked over.
"You are so anxious to call me down. What do you have for me?"
While asking, she also saw a half-person-high gift box held in Zhou Chen's arms, and knew that this should be the gift Zhou Chen wanted to give her.
Zhou Chen handed her the big gift box in his hand: "This is it. I spent a winter vacation and made it with my own hands. I hope you like it. Be careful, it's quite heavy."
Wang Ying stretched out her hand to take it, her hands sank, it was quite heavy.
"It's so heavy. What's in it?"
Zhou Chen explained with a smile: "Go back to the dormitory and see. I won't treat you to dinner today. I just got off the plane and didn't even go back home. I came here in the car to give it to you. Now I have to go back and pack it up first."
When she heard that Zhou Chen had just gotten off the plane and didn't even return home, he sent her a gift first. Wang Ying felt touched again.
No matter what, the fact that Zhou Chen can think of her immediately shows that Zhou Chen really takes her to heart.
On Valentine’s Day, I flew someone to Phuket in advance to send her flowers and chocolates, and now I’m sending her gifts as soon as I get off the plane.
To be honest, this was the first time in her life that she felt such care and concern from a male friend.
"Zhou Chen, thank you."
Zhou Chen chuckled: "There is no need to thank you for following me. You can take the gift back and look at it. If you are not satisfied with anything, call me and I will make it again for you."
Watching Zhou Chen leave in the car, Wang Ying hugged the gift box and was full of curiosity. She wanted to know what was inside as soon as possible.
But it was really difficult to open it here, so she hugged the box and quickly went upstairs to the dormitory.
Xie Qiao and the other two people in the dormitory were talking when they saw Wang Ying walking in with a big gift box in her arms.
"Hey, Wang Ying, what are you holding? Is it your birthday? Who gave you a gift?"
Wang Ying put the gift box on the table, shook her hands and exhaled.
"I'm so tired."
Xu Lin came over curiously and was about to touch it, but was slapped away by Wang Ying.
"Don't move, it's mine."
Xu Lin muttered: "I know it's yours, and I'm not going to steal it from you. I just want to see what's inside. You haven't told me who gave it to you yet?"
"What's it got to do with you?"
Wang Ying glared at her unhappily, and then opened the gift box by herself. Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi also came over curiously.
When the gift in the box was revealed, Wang Ying and the other four were all dumbfounded.
"This, this, this......"
Xu Lin widened his eyes, with an incredible look on his face, pointing at the wood carving standing on the table, and then looked at Wang Ying, without saying a complete sentence.
Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi were also incredible, staring at the wood carving.
"Oh my god, Wang Ying, this is you."
"It's incredible, is this your statue? It's too similar, which master carved it?"
Wang Ying was also stunned at this time. She didn't expect that the gift Zhou Chen gave her was actually a statue of herself. Seeing this statue, she remembered the first time she went to the amusement park with Zhou Chen. This statue was herself on that day.
Xu Lin was sharp-eyed and suddenly saw a card next to it.
"Hey, there's a card here, let me see."
Wang Ying was about to stop him, but it was too late. Xu Lin had already read the words on the card.
"I said that I would launch a fierce offensive after the New Year, and this is the beginning; I spent a winter vacation carving this wood carving by myself, one stroke at a time, I hope you like it."
"Zhou, Zhou Chen?"
After reading to the end, Xu Lin's eyes were wide open and he screamed.
"Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen, Wang Ying, what's going on? When did you two get together?"
Wang Ying took the card back in a bad mood and snorted: "Do you know how to speak? What do you mean by getting together? That's too ugly."
When she turned around, she saw Xiao Qianxi and Xie Qiao staring at her, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Xie Qiao couldn't help but grab her arm.
"What's going on, Wang Ying, you and Zhou Chen, are you in love? How come I didn't notice it at all? When did you start?"
Xiao Qianxi was also as curious as a baby: "Yes, Wang Ying, we live in the same dormitory, but I didn't even notice that you and Zhou Chen were together. You did a good job of keeping it a secret, didn't you?"
Wang Ying, who was very impatient with their questions, could only explain: "You think too much, Zhou Chen and I haven't started dating yet."
Xiao Qianxi understood: "It seems that Zhou Chen has been pursuing you for quite a while. We haven't started dating yet, but it's probably not far from becoming boyfriend and girlfriend."
"If anyone can give me such a wood sculpture, let alone dating, I would be willing to give myself to him."
Xu Lin looked at Wang Ying's wood sculpture with obsession, and then reached out to touch it, which scared Wang Ying and pushed her aside.
"Xu Lin, don't touch me."
"When did I touch you, Miss? I want to touch the wood sculpture."
Wang Ying said righteously: "This wood sculpture is me. You are not allowed to touch it. Do you hear me?"
Xu Lin was helpless: "A Miss is a Miss. I won't let you touch the real person or the statue. Miss, can you tell Zhou Chen to make me a wood sculpture similar to yours? I will pay him."
Wang Ying was too lazy to pay attention to her. Although she didn't know how much the wood sculpture was worth, even as an outsider, she could see the preciousness of her wood sculpture. Didn't Zhou Chen say that it was carved during the winter vacation? The time and effort alone were worth a lot.
The more Xie Qiao looked at it, the more amazed he was: "I didn't even know that Zhou Chen still has this kind of craftsmanship. It's so beautiful. Wang Ying, Zhou Chen is so good to you."
Xiao Qianxi nodded in agreement: "Well, it's almost as good as my Xiaozhou."
Wang Ying glanced at Xiao Qianxi and was embarrassed to say, can your He Xiaozhou compare with Zhou Chen?
Although He Xiaozhou is a very good boy, in Wang Ying's eyes, he is only better than ordinary people. Compared with Zhou Chen, he is still far behind.
Nowadays, society is very realistic. It's not good to have no money and no status. No matter how good and hard He Xiaozhou works, their starting point may be the end point that He Xiaozhou can't reach.
This is not contempt or disdain, but reality.
Xie Qiao and the other two surrounded the wood carving and marveled for a long time. Finally, they were reluctant to look away and did their own things. Wang Ying sat at the table and looked at the wood carving carefully.
Zhou Chen sculpted her so well, and what amazed her most was that she didn't even act as a model for Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen relied on his own photos and imagination to sculpt her into such a three-dimensional and realistic figure. It was simply unimaginable.
She realized more deeply that Zhou Chen was more talented than she thought.
'Zhou Chen, how many secrets do you have that I don't know about? '
She already had a good impression of Zhou Chen, and now her favorability has increased greatly, and she even has infinite curiosity.
I don't know how long it has been, but Xu Lin really can't stand it anymore.
"Miss, I know you are beautiful and your wood carvings are beautiful, but you have been looking at it for almost two hours. Haven't you seen enough?"
Xie Qiao smiled slyly, "What do you know? Wang Ying is not only looking at the statue, but also the deep love."
Xiao Qianxi: "If it were me, I wouldn't feel satisfied even if I looked at it for a few days."
Wang Ying rolled her eyes and ignored them. She carefully put the wood carving away, but she was still worried. She didn't know how strong the wood carving was. She thought it would be better to take the time to transport it home. It would be safest to put it in her room.
She looked at the time and saw that it was already afternoon, so she took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Zhou Chen, asking Zhou Chen to have dinner together.
Zhou Chen, who had just returned home, smiled immediately after receiving Wang Ying's text message. It seemed that his efforts were not in vain. This was the first time Wang Ying took the initiative to ask him out for dinner. This was a very good start.
Then he immediately replied and asked Wang Ying to wait. He would drive to pick her up in a while.
The sports car had not been driven for a month and had accumulated a lot of dust. Zhou Chen drove it to the repair shop and washed it inside and out.
In the girls' dormitory 213, Wang Ying packed up and prepared to go out. Before leaving, she specifically told Xiao Qianxi a word.
"Qianxi, please help me keep an eye on my wood carvings, don't let them fall."
Xiao Qianxi gestured: "No problem, I'll help you keep an eye on them, but where are you going?"
"To eat."
After that, Wang Ying walked out of the dormitory.
When she left, the three gossipers in the dormitory immediately started to talk.
Xu Lin: "I bet she must have gone on a date with Zhou Chen."
Xie Qiao kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice: "I agree, it must be Zhou Chen, do you think I should call Zhou Chen to ask about the situation?"
Xiao Qianxi quickly stopped her: "Qiao Qiao, don't."
"Come on, come and see."
Xu Lin, who was standing on the balcony, suddenly shouted: "Look, I guessed right, isn't that Zhou Chen? Wang Ying is indeed on a date with Zhou Chen."
Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi also ran over. Although they were far away, they still recognized Wang Ying and Zhou Chen who was waiting at the door at a glance, and then saw Wang Ying get into Zhou Chen's car and leave far away.
Xiao Qianxi said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that Wang Ying actually started a relationship with Zhou Chen. This is really unlike Wang Ying's style."
Xie Qiao thought it was nothing: "I think it's okay. Wang Ying's conditions are very good, but Zhou Chen's conditions are not bad either. He is handsome, rich, mature, kind and good-hearted. He is on par with Xiao Xiaoge."
Xu Lin held his chin: "What I'm more curious about is that you said Wang Ying's family background is not ordinary. Can she and Zhou Chen really succeed?"
Xiao Qianxi said: "Love has nothing to do with family conditions. As long as two people truly love each other, they will definitely overcome all difficulties."
"I think so too. What's more, Zhou Chen's conditions are not bad. As far as I know, Zhou Chen is rich and may not be unworthy of Wang Ying."
Although Xie Qiao and Wang Ying are roommates, if it comes to the depth of feelings, she definitely feels closer to Zhou Chen.
Xu Lin chuckled and said, "Wang Ying is gone. Now I can finally appreciate her statue properly."
Xiao Qianxi warned hurriedly, "Xu Lin, be careful. If you bump into something, Wang Ying will definitely scratch you with her concerned look."
"I'm just taking a look. I'm not going to do anything. This is a wood sculpture, not porcelain. How can it be so delicate?"
Xie Qiao also followed Xu Lin and sat in front of the wood sculpture, admiring it seriously. The more he looked at it, the more he was amazed.
