Xu Siyan has been going to shopping malls in the city almost every day these days, just to choose gifts for Ruan Yi.
Xu Siyan has never prepared gifts for the women he likes, and he doesn't have many female friends. Since he was a child, he has only given gifts to a few girls with whom he has good relationships.
Fu Xiaozhi's hobbies are fresh and refined. Xu Siyan gave her a stair climber and a Smith frame. This is obviously not Ruan Yi's style;
Yan Xi has a typical little girl's temperament. She likes Disney and collects figurines. This... is not something Ruan Yi would like either.
What does Ruan Yi like?
With his meager memories, Xu Siyan racked his brains and thought carefully for a few days, and could only think of one thing: work.
Ruan Yi seems to be particularly passionate about his work. In order to evaluate his professional title, he spent every day in the laboratory.
Many people choose the job of university teachers because they have a high social status, considerable income, and have two vacations every year, so they can live a more relaxed life. At first, Xu Siyan thought that Ruan Yi also went for this job.
However, during previous contacts with the deans and professors of their department, Xu Siyan learned that Ruan Yi had received a project invitation from MIT during her Ph.D. study, but she declined due to family reasons.
Xu Siyan was thinking about these things and unknowingly walked into a jewelry counter. The teller's voice of greeting brought him back from his thoughts.
Xu Siyan's attention returned and his eyes fell on the counter.
Among them was a pair of earrings designed with the concept of fluttering butterflies, and Xu Siyan was attracted to them at a glance.
The teller followed up and introduced to him very discerningly: "This earring is a new style in our store. It is very popular. Are you buying it for your girlfriend? I believe she will like it."
Xu Siyan: "Wrap it up for me, thank you."
The teller didn't expect Xu Siyan to be so happy. After being stunned for a moment, he asked him again: "Sir, we also have necklaces, bracelets and rings in this series. Do you want to take a look together?"
Xu Siyan: "Okay."
The teller immediately took Xu Siyan to see it.
In the end, Xu Siyan bought earrings, necklaces and bracelets from the same series.
When he saw the ring, Xu Siyan fell into hesitation.
The teller asked: "Sir, don't you want to buy a ring for your girlfriend?"
Xu Siyan did not answer her question immediately. He focused on the ring for almost a minute, and finally said to the teller: "Let's wrap it up together."
The teller smiled and nodded: "Okay sir."
Xu Siyan went to swipe his card and sat in the rest area of the counter and waited for a few minutes. The teller handed him several wrapped things.
Xu Siyan said "thank you" after taking it.
Teller: "You're welcome sir, I wish you and your girlfriend a long life~"

When Xu Siyan returned to Huitong with the gifts he bought, he happened to run into Yuan Ye who came to find him.
A few minutes after Yuanye arrived, Xu Siyan's person was not found. When he was about to call him, the person came back.
Yuanye's attention was immediately attracted by several shopping bags in Xu Siyan's hands. The bags were the LOGO of a certain jewelry brand. He had found Yu Ning as an endorsement before, so he was familiar with them.
Yuan Ye raised his eyebrows, "Hey, did you go out to buy gifts?"
Xu Siyan: "What do you want from me?"
Yuanye walked up: "What did you buy? Let me take a look."
Xu Siyan did not refuse. He had no experience in giving gifts, and Yuanye Kankan was a good adviser to him.
Yuanye took a few shopping bags, opened them and placed them on the coffee table——
Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and... rings.
They are all butterflies, studded with diamonds, which make people’s eyes hurt.
Together, these four things are probably worth Ruan Yi's salary for a year.
Of course, if Xu Siyan wants to pursue Ruan Yi, paying money is the least worth mentioning.
But this ring...
Xu Siyan waited for Yuan Ye to look at it for a while before asking, "Do you think it's okay?"
Yuan Ye: "Okay, okay, but are you sure Ruan Yi will accept your ring?"
"Also, the total of these things is enough for Ruan Yi's salary for a year. You two have no relationship at all now. With her personality, I think it is impossible to accept things that she thinks are expensive."
A person who had to clean up and leave the house when he divorced Xu Siyan, a person who had to take out a loan in his own name to buy a house during his marriage... How could he accept gifts from his ex-husband after the divorce?
And she still had an unpleasant relationship with her ex-husband.
Now Ruan Yi is ignoring Xu Siyan, which is very difficult.
Yuanye hit Xu Siyan's sore spot sharply. Xu Siyan's eyes darkened a bit and he put away the ring box.
"I don't plan to give this away."
Everyone knew the meaning of the ring. Xu Siyan had already guessed that Ruan Yi would not accept it. He just thought the ring was beautiful, so he bought it together.
If there is a chance in the future...it might as well be given to her again.
But let alone the ring now, Ruan Yi may not accept the other three items.
Xu Siyan's face darkened: "You think of a way."
Yuanye: "Why don't you give these things away first? Give me something that reflects your feelings."
He touched his chin and tried hard to think of a way for Xu Siyan, "Didn't I suggest you give her butterflies last time? You have so many treasures at home, so just do something -"
"I gave it away." Xu Siyan interrupted Yuanye, "I gave it away to the one caught by Suriname."
Yuanye: "Damn it, was he the one who almost sent you away?"
Xu Siyan: "..."
Although the Yin-Yang butterfly is rare, it is highly poisonous, so even if it has a poor flying ability and a short lifespan, it is difficult to catch it.
It is precisely because it is difficult to catch that it has aroused the "desire to conquer" among countless people.
Xu Siyan is one of them.
Yuanye remembers that Xu Siyan went to Suriname during a winter vacation in college. It was summer at that time (yes, the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite), and the sunshine hours were long, making it the most convenient to capture.
When Xu Siyan was studying, he often traveled around the world to catch butterflies, and Yuan Ye had long been used to it. He was a person who planned things and went out with a group, so he would not encounter any danger.
But that time I almost lost my life in the tropical rain forest.
If the people acting with him hadn't discovered it early and sent him to the hospital in time, he might have died young.
That time shocked everyone.
Later, after Yuanye learned that Xu Siyan was accidentally poisoned while trying to catch a certain poisonous butterfly, he couldn't help but call him a "madman": "I almost died if I didn't catch the butterfly. You are really good at it."
Xu Siyan was still lying on the hospital bed at that time, his face was white and his mouth was blue, but what he said was not forgiving at all: "Who said he was not caught."
Yuanye: "Caught it? Okay, you are awesome, okay? You have to frame this butterfly properly, and I will sponsor a crystal coffin for you."
Of course, Xu Siyan didn't ask him to sponsor it. He found someone to customize the crystal coffin himself.
I have also seen that butterfly in the wilderness, a rare species that almost cost me my life. Xu Siyan has always cherished it.
Now I actually gave it to Ruan Yi.
Tsk.
Yuanye pulled away from the memories and patted Xu Siyan on the shoulder, "If you had given her away earlier, you two wouldn't have been able to divorce."
