Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

Chapter 55 Birthday Gift, "Straight Man" Xu Heng

When Zhang Dahuzi saw those news reports, Liu Yifei was already in school.

Today is Liu Yifei's 16th birthday. As soon as she arrived in class, many classmates congratulated her, and some even prepared birthday gifts for her.

Zhu Yawen also prepared a gift, but she didn't give it to Liu Yifei in front of the other classmates. Instead, she planned to give it to her during their private rehearsal in the afternoon.

Liu Yifei is only 16 years old, and he was too embarrassed to make it too obvious, nor did he want his classmates to notice.

He has only taken on a small role so far, and there is a big gap between him and Liu Yifei, not to mention that Liu Yifei also has Xu Heng as her "good friend".

He believed there was nothing between Liu Yifei and Xu Heng, and he also believed that he would definitely not be worse than Xu Heng in the future, but right now he really couldn't compare to Xu Heng...

After finishing her classes in the morning, Liu Yifei went back to her dormitory to put down her textbooks and gifts, and then went to the cafeteria with her three roommates.

After a while, Xu Heng and his three roommates arrived at the cafeteria.

After glancing around and spotting Liu Yifei, Xu Heng walked straight over to her.

"Senior Brother Xu Heng is here!"

Wang Jia was the first to spot Xu Heng, but Liu Yifei, who was beside her, had already noticed him long before.

Today, Liu Yifei deliberately chose a seat facing the cafeteria entrance. Zhou Yang and Liu Jing, who were sitting opposite her, immediately turned to look at her, and then looked at Liu Yifei together with Wang Jia.

They clearly all knew why this senior brother Xu Heng had come!

"Senior Brother Xu Heng!"

Upon seeing Xu Heng approaching, Wang Jia and Liu Jing immediately greeted him with smiles.

Zhou Yang stood up and whispered, "Director."

The movie hasn't been released yet, so as the second female lead, she certainly can't act so casually in front of director Xu Heng.

Moreover, as the second female lead, she spent much more time filming on set than the two minor supporting actresses, Wang Jia and Liu Jing, and had more contact with Xu Heng, which made her feel even more respect for him!

Wang Jia and Liu Jing glanced at Zhou Yang, their hearts skipping a beat.

They seemed to realize then that Xu Heng, their senior, was not only their senior, but also a popular celebrity and a director who had made a theatrical film!

If they weren't at school, they probably wouldn't even have had the chance to speak to this senior, Xu Heng!

Xu Heng nodded to Zhou Yang, then smiled at Wang Jia and Liu Jing.

He gave Zhou Yang the role of the second female lead in the movie, which can definitely be considered a great favor to Zhou Yang.

This film, "Our Times," is Zhou Yang's first film, which is definitely not a low starting point.

It's normal and expected that Zhou Yang would act this way at this moment.

Wang Jia and Liu Jing are different; they're just background figures and don't really receive any support.

Happy birthday, Effie!

Xu Heng then looked at Liu Yifei.

"Thanks!"

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded.

Xu Heng will be coming to the cafeteria; I had already told her before.

She and Xu Heng couldn't meet often at school, and there wasn't much that required them to meet frequently, but they would still communicate often if something came up.

Happy birthday, Junior Sister Yifei!

This time, it was Xu Heng's three roommates.

Liu Yifei expressed her gratitude once again.

"This is for you, I hope you like it!"

Xu Heng then handed a small box to Liu Yifei, who had naturally already seen the gift in his hand.

Xu Heng's three roommates did not prepare any gifts.

They had asked Xu Heng before, and Xu Heng said it wasn't necessary, so naturally they didn't dare to make a decision on their own.

Liu Yifei thanked him again and happily accepted Xu Heng's gift.

Wang Jia and Liu Jing leaned closer, somewhat curious.

Zhou Yang was also curious about what kind of birthday gift Xu Heng would give him.

Then they discovered that Xu Heng had given them a digital product. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the third-generation iPod that Apple had just released this year, specifically the 30GB version with the largest capacity. The official overseas price is 499 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 4000 yuan in China. The key point is that it is currently impossible to buy in mainland China!

"Senior Brother Xu Heng is so generous!"

Liu Jing couldn't help but sigh.

The gifts she and Wang Jia gave were both around 100 yuan each, while most of the other classmates' gifts were only a few dozen yuan each. Only Zhou Yang gave a gift worth more than 300 yuan.

Compared to Xu Heng's iPod 3, which costs over 4000 yuan and is currently unavailable in mainland China, it is far inferior.

However, she also knew that this amount of money was nothing to Xu Heng and Liu Yifei.

Xu Heng smiled again and said, "Yifei, I went to great lengths to buy this gift!"

And he absolutely did not lie to Liu Yifei.

There are currently no official Apple stores in mainland China. The nearest place to buy Apple products is in Hong Kong or through a personal shopper.

He couldn't possibly make a special trip to Hong Kong just to buy a birthday present, so he had this iPod 3 purchased through a proxy.

To ensure he bought genuine products, he even went to Zhongguancun and found a chain store called "JD.com" and had their owner place the order with him.

The owner of this shop sold CDs in Zhongguancun for three years and never sold a single counterfeit product, so his reputation is quite good.

I also bought my iPod 2 from the same store owner last year.

Liu Yifei finally couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Last year, on her 15th birthday, Xu Heng gave her an iPod 2.

For her 16th birthday this year, Xu Heng gave her an iPod 3.

So, if Apple releases the iPod 4 next year, will Hsu Heng give it to her as a birthday present again?

Fortunately, there is no such thing as "straight man" in China now, otherwise Liu Yifei would definitely have labeled him as a "straight man" in her mind!

Xu Heng smiled again, then walked away with his three roommates without explaining anything.

In no time, they had become the focus of the entire cafeteria.

Liu Yifei and her roommates continued eating, and after finishing their meal, they went back to their dormitory together.

Then she sorted through the gifts her classmates had given her that day, before taking out the iPod 3 that Xu Heng had given her from the box and examining it.

She had already discovered that the iPod 3 that Xu Heng gave her had been opened.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed found that there was something inside.

Upon seeing that label, she couldn't help but blush.

However, she knew it was just the title of a song, a title that had also appeared in a movie.

In addition to this song, there is another song on this iPod 3, namely "A Little Happiness".

So she put on the included headphones and started listening.

"Coffee on the Left Bank of the Seine"

"I hold a cup in my hand, savoring your beauty."

"Lipsticks that left lip prints"

"The florist's roses, whose name is misspelled?"

"A love balloon, blown by the wind across the street."

"Smiles fly in the sky"

"..."

"..."

That's right, the song that Xu Heng wrote in the movie for himself, the future superstar, is actually Jay Chou's "Confession Balloon" from his previous life.

He also felt that giving Liu Yifei an iPod was a bit too typical of a "straight man," so he downloaded the song and Liu Yifei's own rendition of "A Little Happiness" beforehand, without any other intention...
