"It has nothing to do with whether you pay attention or not."
Xiao Xiao finally put down the quill in his hand, interrupted the young public student, and looked up at him: "The Moonlight Dance is a very private dance. You can understand that this dance is protected by some powerful magic.
People without an invitation cannot even find the entrance to the ball... let alone be publicly reported. The wizarding families attending the ball will not want this kind of social event to become the talk of the general public after dinner."
"So, am I okay?" Zheng Qing murmured, suddenly feeling a sense of relief as he crawled out of the quagmire and his whole body was washed clean.
"maybe."
The fortune teller of the Exoneration Hunting Team shrugged his shoulders and returned his attention to the homework book in front of him: "As long as the wizards attending the Moonlight Ball don't cause trouble for you..."
Zheng Qing was so happy that he didn't care about these words at all.
For him, the reduction of the number of people who might cause trouble for him from one school to a small group was a cause for great celebration, and he couldn't ask for more.
Then he suddenly remembered the 'smart people' mentioned by Su Shijun, and couldn't help but murmured: "...So, there really are smart people...these smart people are really powerful!"
"What smart guy?"
Fatty Xin had just been thinking about Linda going to the Yuexia Dance Party and didn't hear the conversation between the two companions. When he came back to his senses, it was for another thing: "By the way, Brother Zha, this Christmas
, what gifts did you give to your girlfriends? And Doctor, what did you give? Last night I gave senior Linda a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures of the Silent Forest", hoping it would be of some help to her graduation practice...
…”
A slightly depressed and frightened scream interrupted the fat wizard's ramblings.
Including the three companions, many students around him looked sideways at the student Zheng Qing who screamed, their eyes full of curiosity.
It was Fatty Xin who reacted first.
He looked at the pale young public-sponsored student, his mind moved slightly, and a subtle answer came to mind: "Scum...ahem, Brother Qing, did you forget to give a gift?"
With that said, he turned to the front row of the classroom, glanced at Jiang Yu who was sitting in the first row, and lowered his voice slightly: "This is your fault. If I remember correctly, classmate Jiang Yu's Christmas gift was given to her a week ago.
is you……"
The fat wizard was talking about the copperplate book that Jiang Yu gave to Zheng Qing during the winter hunt. At that time, the witch mentioned in front of everyone that this copperplate book was Zheng Qing's Christmas gift.
The young public-sponsored student looked at the copper-plate book spread out in front of him, his face becoming more and more gloomy.
The heavy snow outside the window was slowly stopping, and Zheng Qing felt as if the silver-covered world outside had been completely occupied by chill and blankness.
Of course he didn't forget about the Christmas present.
In fact, he has been quite scratching his head about this matter recently - in short, this Christmas gift, he can't give clothes, can't give Dharma books, can't give Pandora's box or Pandora's box, can't give
You can't just give away cosmetics or a few gems for errands.
The reason why he couldn't send clothes was because before the Yuexia Dance, the beautiful Su had just given him several high-end wardrobe items, and the wizard had no financial ability to give them back; and Jiang Yu had given them to Elena because she had accompanied Zheng Qing.
Having bought clothes before, Zheng Qing would never make a stupid choice.
Other gifts are denied for similar reasons.
After a long and difficult choice, Zheng Qing finally customized two 'moonlight treasure boxes' from the Hu Ke brothers.
The Hook brothers are famous alchemists in Beta Town. They opened a shop specializing in making magic clocks, but they also took on some private custom work.
The Moonlight Box is named after Zheng Qing. They are two boxes similar to snow globes. The transparent glass covers are filled with moonlight that can circulate. There are pavilions and pavilions, and there are also moonlight on the lotus pond, but the details in the boxes are slightly different.
.
He chose this kind of gift because Zheng Qing really didn't know what gift would surprise the two witches. He could only rack his brains and try to find new ideas.
At present, both boxes are still lying in the watch shop of Hooke Brothers.
"It's still Christmas Day, right." The young public-funded student seemed to be cheering himself up, and seemed to be talking to himself: "It's not too late, it's not too late... It should still be in time, it's still in time."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but take out his pocket watch, glanced at the ticking hands, and then looked up at Jiang Yu, who seemed to be explaining the exercises to Li Meng.
Dr. Xiao's cold voice came to my ears: "According to the tradition of the wizarding world, under normal circumstances, Christmas gifts should be given out on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning..."
"You don't have to follow those rules." The fat wizard rarely explained to Zheng Qing: "After all, we are nine people, not those white robes. We don't have the habit of receiving and giving gifts on Christmas. Even if we do, most of them just join in the fun...
…Did you get your Christmas present?”
He turned to look at Zhang Jixin, who was eating melon with gusto.
The red-faced wizard was stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself: "Me? It should be there, but I didn't pay attention. My brother grabbed me to help me early this morning. There was no snowman or pumpkin car blocking my way in the morning...
…”
"Didn't your brother give you a gift?"
"He? He probably thinks that a boxing match with me is the best gift."
Normally, Zheng Qing would have laughed a few words when hearing this kind of gift, but at this moment he was not in a leisurely mood. The initial fear of forgetting to give the gift had gradually calmed down over time, and he kept repeating "it's too late" in his heart.
, the young public-sponsored student also secretly rejoiced that he was not the only one who forgot to give a gift.
At the very least, Su Shijun didn't give herself a Christmas gift.
Maybe she thinks that dancing with her yesterday is a Christmas gift? Or maybe the outfits she bought for the dance under the moon? Zheng Qing thought about it silently, comforting himself - as long as he didn't officially receive the Christmas gift from Beauty Su, it was his 'mistake'
It has been reduced by half, and the room for remediation has suddenly become much looser.
Just then.
Fatty Xin, who had finished chatting, suddenly turned around and looked at the young public-funded student who was gradually calming down, with a malicious smile on his face.
"Ah, I almost forgot."
The fat wizard's expression did not show the guilt of 'almost forgetting', but instead looked like he was gloating: "...After you and the doctor went out to do morning classes in the morning, a few paper cranes brought a beautifully wrapped small box.
, there is the badge of Qingqiu Mansion on the outer package, I guess it is a Christmas gift from Senator Su to you... Well, I will stuff it under the pillow for you, you're welcome!"
Zheng Qing's thin neck could no longer support his heavy head.
Snap.
The young public-funded student smashed his head on the desk. He wanted to kill himself in this quick way.
