Xu Na looked at her incredulously and mumbled, then suddenly realized, "I actually think Xiao Meng isnât unwilling to go and have fun, but she probably canât dance at all, right? Besides, itâs a good choice not to go, otherwise I fear youâd be trampled to death..."
After saying that, she glanced teasingly at Xiao Mengâs head, clearly mocking her for being too short and petite.
Su Jiameng: "..."
In Future Interstellar, there is a custom for the birthday person to unwrap gifts on the spot. Even though such a custom seemed very rude to Su Jiameng, since it had been going on for many years, there was no way it would stop just because of her "feelings".
K3 smiled as he unwrapped several gifts from wealthy families, most of which could be summarised as "expensive, very expensive, extremely expensive", but were otherwise not very interesting. Finally, someone unknowingly pushed up the gift Su Jiameng had sent, and K3âs expression somewhat turned serious.
All the gifts from his true friends were collected secretly by assigned people, while those opened were from non-essential individuals. Clearly, Su Jiameng was among the "true friends" category, but somehow there was a mistake, and her gift was pushed forward too.
K3âs hesitation was noticeable to some with keen eyes, and they quickly speculated something, guessing that this plainly wrapped gift box didnât contain anything good. With the intention of wanting to see K3 embarrassed, a group of people openly and tacitly urged him to open the gift quickly.
Unaware of the mistake, Su Jiameng still thought it was the highlight, and urged in a low voice from below, "Hurry up and open it..."
K3 wasnât really concerned about what gift Su Jiameng had sent him; as long as the thought was there, it was more valuable than any expensive gift.
But others wouldnât think the same. Given the previously extravagant items as a backdrop, if her gift fell short, the laughter from the crowd below might hurt Xiao Mengâs good intentions. K3 didnât want to see such a scene.
However, when the gift box was opened, and K3 personally pulled down the red curtain covering the more than two-meter tall object, the dazzling ice blue instantly became the focal point of the scene. As a Mecha Master and an avid enthusiast of Mechas, K3âs eyes were glued to this Mecha model, unable to move away.
Unfortunately, it was just a model, lacking presence. If it were made into a real Mecha, how majestic would it be?
Because this Mecha model was not much taller than K3, he could easily see the design blueprint within the microcosmic Mecha cockpit; even with just a swift glance, he could determine it was a complete and precise blueprint of the Mecha.
To outsiders, the price of a Mecha model would naturally not compare with the previously terrifyingly expensive gifts, but it had a high, cold, and unyielding design, exuding an air of imposing nobility, like the coldest, sharpest ice and snow, and the intention behind the gift was very clever.
And those previous gifts, as long as someone had enough credit points, could be obtained, and they didnât show much sincerity. For a birthday person who is a Mecha enthusiast and isnât short on credit points, obviously, this Mecha model catered more to his liking and intentions, and no one dared to laugh at the moment.
After the party ended, Su Jiameng handed K3 the key to the lock in the cockpit, "Hereâs the key... Boss Qin, happy birthday."
Holding the key, K3 somewhat guiltily accepted the birthday blessing and apologized to Su Jiameng for the earlier incident.
Su Jiameng was like a monk scratching his head, not understanding why he was apologizing. K3 explained carefully, and only then did she understand.
"With so many people coming and going today, itâs inevitable there are things not fully taken care of, and itâs possible to make mistakes at times. Boss Qin, donât take this matter to heart. Everything else isnât important as long as you like the birthday gift I gave you."
Su Jiameng didnât mind this matter, but K3 couldnât just brush it off as an accident.
Clearly, it seemed someone tampered with this, otherwise, how would a robot servant, precise to the extreme, make such a mistake?
Qin Mo immediately went to seek the truth behind the incident, and the Xu siblings took on the task of escorting Su Jiameng home. In fact, the three of them were actually neighbors, so it was very convenient, like traveling together.
Because the night wind was a bit chilly, Xu Lei draped his suit jacket over Su Jiameng, disapprovingly saying, "Xiao Meng really doesnât know how to take care of herself, knowing the nights on Qiming Star are relatively cold, you shouldâve brought a warmer cloak."
Su Jiameng was about to say she didnât need his coat and suggested giving it to Xu Na, but saw Xu Na already wearing a school uniform jacket from who knows where, agreeing, "Brother is right, Xiao Meng should take better care of herself. If you pay more attention, you wonât be so careless."
Su Jiameng nodded to avoid Xu Na and Xu Leiâs nagging. However, just as she was about to enter Xu Leiâs Mecha, her smart brain beeped. She cast an apologetic glance at Xu Lei, then turned and checked her private messages, her pupils suddenly constricting.
"Nana, Ah Lei, something happened at the store, Changxi is on his way to get me to handle it, so I canât go back with you now." Su Jiameng gathered herself before turning around, her shocked expression gone, returning to normal.
Xu Lei frowned slightly, asking worriedly, "What really happened? Is the situation serious?"
Su Jiameng shook her head, saying, "Itâs urgent, Changxi didnât specify what happened, only that something happened requiring my personal attention. Heâs already close by, should be here in three to five minutes."
Though worried, Xu Lei trusted Su Jiamengâs capability, thinking she could handle it. If not, there were them, Qin Mo, and Lucy, surely Xiao Meng wouldnât suffer, "Since thatâs the case, Iâll wait here for Changxi, it wouldnât be safe letting you stay here alone at night, what if something happens?"
