"A small gift I bring from Europe." Guan Zhiyi said.
The moment she said that, Guan Yuanbai naturally thought that she had brought them some souvenir, he let out an 'Oh' and walked towards the living room with his hand in his pocket, "So what is it?"
"I'll show you later." With that, Guan Zhiyi dragged Qi Chengyan upstairs.
Guan Yuanbai looked back and snorted: "What kind of messy stuff did you buy this time."
He was sure it would be another stuff that he can't use.
When Guan Yuanbai was still worrying about the fact that he can't use the things she bought, Guan Zhiyi, who didn't buy any gift for Guan Yuanbai in the first place, was pulling out a gift box from her suitcase.
"I bought this in Croatia, It especially suits you."
The gift box was exquisite, Qi Chengyan stared at it, it's a lie to say that he is not happy.
He felt that this feeling was like the kind of ...... being remembered by children, the elders would eventually feel happy when it happened.
"Thanks."
"You can open and take a look."
"Okay."Qi Cheng yuan pulled the ribbon from the box and opened it.
After opening it, what caught his eye was a dark colored tie. The tie looked low-key and sophisticated at first glance, however after picking it up ...... there was a cute rabbit embroidered at the end of it??
Qi Chengyan looked at Guan Zhiyi not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Are you sure this suits me?"
Guan Zhiyi nodded rightfully: "Of course, I think you resemble a little rabbit, brother, gentle and cute!"
Like a rabbit? And gentle and ...... cute?
In his life, this is probably the most incredible description Qi Chengyan has ever heard about himself.
"Croatia is the birthplace of tie, all of my colleagues bought it. And I thought that this one was special when I saw it, so I want to give it to you."
Qi Chengyan gave a hum, staring at the rabbit for a moment without speaking. Just thought, can he wear this on a normal occasion? It should be okay…...The rabbit was embroidered at the end, so it doesn't affect much as long as you don't take it out.
Guan Zhiyi didn’t know what Qi Chengyan was thinking, she thought he didn't like it because he didn't say anything, so she was a little embarrassed and said,"That, it's really much cheaper than your usual tie, So it's okay if you don't wear it, you can just keep it as souvenir."
Qi Chengyan looked at her, and couldn't bear to make the little girl disappointed: "It's great, it will be a pity to only keep this rabbit as a souvenir."
"Then will you wear it?"
"I can try."
Guan Zhiyi's eyes lit up: "Then I'll put it on you to see!"
Before coming here, Qi Chengyan had taken off his tie at home to make himself comfortable, so now his collar was empty, which gave Guan Zhiyi a space to use.
"Brother, lower your head."
Qi Chengyan subconsciously wanted to comply with her, but once he bent down and saw her face suddenly approaching, he abruptly stopped.
"Come on, you're not her real brother, being overly intimate is still a problem, okay."
Xiao Ran nonsense words untimely sounded in his head, Qi Chengyan slightly stunned, and slowly stood up straight.
When Guan Zhiyi saw him suddenly stand straight, her hand had not reached up yet. She unhappily said: "You are too tall, lower your head."
Qi Chengyan smiled faintly and took over the tie: "Can you do it? let me do it myself."
Guan Zhiyi saw him tying it up by himself, snorted softly,"Why not, I used to tie other people's ties in a show."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I even specifically practiced it, I can do it well."
While she was talking, Qi Chengyan had already fastened his tie several times. However Guan Zhiyi didn't realize anything, she just took a few steps back, seriously staring at it for a moment, then said sincerely: "As expected of my eyes, it's extremely good looking!"
Qi Chengyan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at himself in the full body mirror next to him. All right, that rabbit ...... is pretty good after looking at it for a long time.
After tying the tie the two of them went downstairs, seeing Qi Chengyan wearing something that she gave to him, Guan Zhiyi was in a happy mood, her footsteps were a lot lighter when they walked downstairs," Can we eat now."
After reaching the living room, Guan Zhiyi sat down beside Guan Yuanbai.
"Isn't it waiting for you to come down?"Guan Yuanbai glanced at her, then asked casually, "You took a long time, where is the gift?"
Guan Zhiyi gleefully pointed towards Qi Chengyan: "There, how is it, doesn't it look good!"
Guan Yuanbai followed her direction and looked at Qi Chengyan--
Qi Chengyan leaned back, pulled up his tie and shook it.
Guan Yuanbai: "..."
"What's with your expression, isn't it good-looking?" Guan Zhiyi asked.
The corners of Guan Yuanbai's mouth twitched slightly: "What is that pile of white on the tie."
"Rabbit ah, brother, did you have bad eyesight?"
Guan Yuanbai glanced at Qi Chengyan, paused for two seconds, and said insincerely, "This thing is quite suitable for you."
Qi Chengyan smiled slightly: "Thank you."
"You wouldn't have bought me this kind of thing too, right?"After a while, Guan Yuanbai asked.
Guan Zhiyi shook her head confusedly, "No."
"That's good." Guan Yuanbai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So what did you buy for me, let me see."
Guan Zhiyi was even more confused, "Nothing."
Guan Yuanbai: "What?"
Guan Zhiyi shrugged, "I said I didn't buy anything for you."
"............"
The atmosphere was a little stiff.
Guan Zhiyi stayed still for a moment, then hurriedly reacted: "Ah...Brother, do you want me to buy a gift for you too?"
Guan Yuanbai's face changed slightly: "When did I say I wanted you to buy a gift for me, do you think the things you buy can suit me? Can I use them?"
"It's not suitable, it can't be used." Guan Zhiyi said seriously,"I know you wouldn't like my gift, so I planned ahead and simply didn't buy anything."
Guan Yuanbai: "...that's very clever of you."
"It's all right."
"Miss, the food is ready." At this moment, the auntie at home came over,"I also made your favorite black-bone chicken soup today. Come and try it."
"Okay!" Guan Zhiyi got up and walked towards the kitchen,"Where is it, give me a taste first."
Guan Zhiyi was bouncing and vivacious while leaving. Guan Yuanbai stared at Qi Chengyan before saying, "It seems that after all these years, you still win."
Qi Chengyan: "Hmm?"
Guan Yuanbai got up and lazily said, "I think that Guan Xiaowu is an immature white-eyed wolf**, when she was a child she always thinking about you everywhere she goes, and she still does it even now."
(**A person who will never learn to be thankful no matter how nicely you treat him/ a person who shows no gratitude.)
Qi Chengyan paused slightly, remembering the old days, when he would often joke with Guan Yuanbai, using the same thing to coax Guan Zhiyi to see who Guan Zhiyi would choose.
In the end, he always won every single time.
It's not that Qi Chengyan knows what she likes better, but Qi Chengyan's patience and temperament towards her was much better compared to Guan Yuanbai, so the little girl naturally sticks more to the person who spoiled her to no end.
Qi Chengyan laughed and shook his head: "Who told you to have heart and mouth at variance**."
"When did I have heart and mouth at variance?"
(**keeping one's real intentions to oneself; saying one thing but meaning something different)
"Just now." Qi Chengyan picked up the tie and waved it in front of him again, "Obviously you want it, but you have to say that it's ugly."
Guan Yuanbai stunned slightly: "Want it? Qi Chengyan, are you okay, who would really want this things"
"Oh."
"And it's really ugly."
"Is that so."
"Yes, who would embroidered a rabbit on a tie ...... moreover, do you dare to wear it out in public."
"It's not impossible."
Guan Yuanbai looked at him with a complicated look, "Then you're a bit crazy."

Guan Zhiyi was well protected when she was young. Everytime she encountered some difficulties, she either had Qi Chengyan to step up or her father and brothers to help her out. She used to be somewhat soft-tempered and would give people around her an impression of not being too rebellious.
So when she was in college and suddenly entered the entertainment circle regardless of her family's dissuasion, those who knew her were shocked. Everyone thought that this little girl had grown up and changed.
But only Guan Zhiyi herself knows that she has used up all the little courage and determination she has towards her acting career. At the bottom of her heart, she was actually not that brave.
Just like when facing Qi Chengyan at this time, expressing herself openly and covertly is one thing, but speaking directly is another thing.
She did not fall in love with him at first sight, they were too familiar and close with each other. She knew that once it broke out, the situation would get out of control. So she is currently using great courage to try to see whether she can change his mind about her ......
She must not waste these few days at home.
The next morning, Guan Zhiyi seized the time, when she saw Qi Chengyan in sportswear coming out of the house, she came out from the corner very naturally: "Eh? Brother, good morning."
Qi Chengyan's hand adjusting the headphones slightly paused, turned his head toward the sound. Then he saw that not far away, wearing pink and white sportswear, Guan Zhiyi was waving at him.
He took off his headphones, "Xiao Wu?"
Guan Zhiyi ran up to him: "What a coincidence! I even ran into you when I was jogging."
Qi Chengyan had always run in the morning, but he remembered that she never ran in the morning, didn't she?
"I can't believe you're up." Qi Chengyan was a little surprised.
Guan Zhiyi glanced at him: "What kind of words is that? I often get up early, okay?"
"Your brother said that you would never get up early when you are not filming."
"That, that is not absolute." Guan Zhiyi said sheepishly, "I have been getting fat recently. And since I will be joining a new group in a while, I have to lose them all."
With that, she ran in front of him, "Hurry up, let's go."
Got fat?
Qi Chengyan subconsciously looked at her, she and fat in one sentence?
In his sight, the girl was wearing short sweatpants, her two thin legs were straight and fair underneath her pink shorts...… she was running backwards at the moment, and as she ran, the jacket covering her waist would be pulled up a little from time to time, a small section of fairness was revealed, a sight of that place, a good appearance to hold.
"Why don't you run? Hurry up, don't wait until you can't outrun me." The person not far away turned her head.
Qi Chengyan was startled for a moment, and quickly turned his eyes away.
"Here I come." He buckled on his headphones and ran.
He was much faster than Guan Zhiyi thought he would be, so naturally he passed her at once. Guan Zhiyi saw the man overtake herself and hurriedly followed him.
"Boss, you're too competitive! I just said you 'can't outrun me' and you ran so fast!"
Guan Zhiyi grunted and followed by his side, Qi Chengyan glanced at her, "I'm just going at normal speed."
"Is, is it?"
"You have short legs, you don't need to keep up with me."
In fact, what Qi Chengyan wanted to express was that there was a difference in their height, a difference in leg length, and definitely a difference in pace.
But what Guan Zhiyi heard was just: her, legs, short!
"Who said that! Although I am not very tall, my legs are quite long!" Guan Zhiyi said unconvincingly, "Really, my agent said that my legs have golden proportions, it's very photogenic!"
Qi Chengyan gave her a sideways glance and found that the little girl's cheeks were puffed up. She was obviously angry.
Did she misunderstand him? The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl a little.
"What are you laughing at! I really have long legs, absolutely beautiful legs."
"Oh, good ......"
"What's with that tone of yours, I'll go back and measure it for you later!"
Qi Chengyan paused, reached out and knocked on her forehead, said in a deep voice, "How old are you, do you know that you can't say these things in front of other people, are you not shy."
Guan Zhiyi covered her forehead and whispered, "What it's got to do with you......"
Qi Chengyan stared ahead and looked up slightly, just when he wanted to say something else, he heard the little girl beside him say seriously,"Brother, you're not other people."
