The Stingiest Boyfriend: The Entire Internet Begged For Me To Break Up Chapter 62

62 The Lights of Myriad Houses, Never Leaving Each Other

“Lin Xi, happy birthday. I wish you peace and health and to be eternally 18!”

After Chen Che finished speaking with a smile, he reached out and gently hugged Lin Xi before handing her the gift in his hand.

As soon as they saw the gift, everyone surrounded him like flies. They wanted to see what Chen Che had given immediately.

The audience in the live-stream was also very curious. The VJ carried cameras and stood at different angles, preparing to film the most beautiful scene.

Lin Xi took the gift and placed it on the table. She opened the box bit by bit.

The gift unveiled the mysterious veil, and everyone's gazes gathered.

“What the hell is that!”

With a puzzled voice, everyone's expressions froze.

Inside the box was a rectangular object made of yellow paper. There was also a support frame made of wood below. There were some patterns carved on the support frame. It was quite exquisite.

But… this really couldn't be considered a gift!

Han Jiarui frowned unhappily. “Chen Che, Lin Xi's birthday is only once a year. You're not so poor anymore. Why can't you give her a decent gift?”

She was not mocking Chen Che for being poor. It was just that even if he was poor, he could have gotten her a thoughtful gift instead of something that looked like it was picked up from the trash.

“Jiarui, don't say that. I'm very happy with whatever Chen Che gives me.” Lin Xi smiled at Chen Che without any displeasure.

At this moment, Luo Yuelin sneered. “Only you are willing to accept this lousy thing. If my boyfriend gave me this, I would definitely throw it away immediately!”

The short-haired girl hurriedly echoed and said sarcastically, “Doesn't Chen Che already have more than $200,000 in savings? Why did he give such a shabby gift? Looks like you don't like Lin Xi much!”

Everyone present discussed animatedly.

“What's the point of being with such a man? He eats buns and buys discounted food. He gives gifts that don't cost more than $10. How embarrassing for a man!”

Zheng Hui crossed her arms and mocked, “Aiya! A good birthday party is ruined just like that. If I were Lin Xi, I would definitely break up with you immediately!”

Fang Weixun hurriedly said, “Darling, no matter how poor I am, I won't give you such a trashy gift. If I really want to give it to you, I'll borrow money to buy it.”

Zheng Hui smiled smugly and looked at Lin Xi provocatively.

Everyone's mockery entered Lin Xi and Chen Che's ears. Lin Xi looked at Chen Che worriedly.

She did not care about their words, but Chen Che was a man. He would definitely feel embarrassed to be mocked in public.

However, when Lin Xi looked over, she realized that Chen Che's expression did not change, as if he was not the one being scolded.

At this moment, the lights at the scene suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Everyone thought that there was a blackout. Just as they were about to look for the waiter in the banquet hall, a yellow light appeared in front of them.

The gifts on the table lit up, looking extremely dazzling in the darkness.

When the lights lit up, everyone realized that there were only words on the paper. Chen Che had specially designed this. Only when the lights lit up could they see the words on the layer of paper inside. When the lights went out, the words were hidden behind the paper.

Lin Xi bent down and looked at the words on it seriously. She read them out softly.

“With a beauty, I won't forget her even if I see her. I won't see her for a day, and I'll miss her like crazy…”

Chen Che looked at Lin Xi and said gently, “Lin Xi, the gift I gave you was a table lamp. Although the materials are very ordinary and cheap, I made it myself.”

“I wrote the poem 'Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix' on a piece of paper and made it into a lamp. From then on, even as others come and go, we will never leave each other.”

With that, Chen Che pressed the button on the table lamp. The table lamp on the wooden stand slowly turned. In a daze, it seemed like a phoenix was dancing in it.

Everyone had never seen such a gift. While they found it novel, they could not help but sigh that Chen Che was really attentive.

At this moment, the big screen in the banquet hall suddenly lit up and played a video.

Everyone looked at the big screen at the same time and saw that the person on the screen was Chen Che.

“What are you doing?” VJ asked.

“A table lamp,” Chen Che replied without looking up as he focused on cutting the yellow paper.

VJ felt a little helpless. “Just use these materials to make it? Isn't it too simple?”

“It's not simple. It will take me about three days to make it.”

On the first day, Chen Che made a lamp frame and carved exquisite patterns on it.

As it was his first time making it and he was not very familiar with it, Chen Che accidentally cut his hand a few times.

The next day, Chen Che wrote “Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix” on the yellow paper and even drew a phoenix inside.

Although the painting he wrote was not very good, the way he held the pen seriously and carefully was enough to move everyone.

On the third day, Chen Che assembled these things and installed a light bulb to see the effect.

“Wow! So a table lamp made of yellow paper can be so beautiful?” The VJ exclaimed.

During this period of time with Chen Che, he admired him more and more.

Although Chen Che was very poor, it seemed that he would succeed no matter what he did.

When he was a courier, his performance was the best. He was also tipped the most when he worked part-time at night. He is the most popular in the show.

Every time he participated in an event, he treated it seriously. Even if he did not get first place, he had never been ranked below the top three.

Following that, VJ broadcast the video on the big screen live. At this moment, the live-stream was already in an uproar.

[Why did those people who scolded Chen Che just now stop talking? You're not even as good as Chen Che's heels!]

[I announce that from now on, Old Scrooge Chen is my idol. I'm even willing to serve Lin Xi during her confinement period!]

[I really like this couple. I have to protect them at all costs!]

The video on the big screen ended and the lights in the banquet hall lit up.

Lin Xi looked at Chen Che with tears in her eyes. Without a word, she threw herself into his arms.

“Thank you, Chen Che. I like this gift very much.”

Lin Xi held Chen Che's hand and carefully touched the small wound on her fingertip.

“Does it still hurt?”

Chen Che frowned and pretended to be in pain. “It hurts! You have to kiss me so I can recover quickly!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi kissed him on the lips without hesitation. She stopped after a light kiss.

The soft touch and the fragrance on his lips stunned Chen Che for a moment before he chuckled.

The camera captured the sweet scene between the two of them. At this moment, the netizens in the live-stream were already crazy.

The guests present also applauded and apologized for their inappropriate comments just now, but only Zheng Hui and Luo Yuelin remained silent.

Luo Yuelin's face darkened. She gritted her teeth and asked, “You said that they'll lose all their face this time, but they're actually even more in the limelight than before!”

The short-haired girl's expression was not good either. She lowered her head and muttered, “I didn't know that Chen Che could make a table lamp with a few pieces of tattered yellow paper and wood.”

Luo Yuelin snorted coldly and turned to leave in her high heels. The short-haired girl hurriedly followed.
