Chapter 239 You should just accept it.
Ma Junjie was curious and followed Liu Jialing's hand to look.
As Carina Lau's fingers emerged from her pocket, a set of silver keys dangled out with the movement.
For a moment, it shimmered with tiny sparkles under the light.
Ma Junjie's pupils contracted instantly, his cheeks, which had been burning hot, suddenly cooled down, and even his breathing slowed down.
"This is...?" Ma Junjie's throat tightened as he stared at the key, his mind blank.
Carina Lau picked up the keys in her hand and dangled them in the air.
Her ambiguous smile softened into a gentle one, and she suddenly said,
"Ah Jie, catch!"
With a "whoosh," a key flew over.
Ma Junjie caught the keys with both hands, clutching them to his chest in a flustered manner, as if he were holding something scalding hot.
He glanced at it and saw a capital "A" printed on the key.
"What is this?" he murmured to himself, unable to help but ask.
Carina Lau smiled slightly, then turned her body slightly to the side.
"Car keys!"
"A newly bought car."
"Bingbing has been pestering me for three days, saying that it's inconvenient for you to commute to work at Blue Moon, and taking a motorcycle every day is expensive and dangerous. She asked me to lend her money so I could buy you a car."
As she spoke, Carina Lau paused, then pointed to Liu Bingbing, who was sticking out her tongue and chuckling to herself.
"Bingbing, that girl, either takes a taxi to work or hitches a ride with me every day. She has never thought about buying a car to drive herself, but she cares about your affairs."
"By the way, Bingbing, what's the name of this car? It's made in China, right? It's a bit small, but it's quite cute!"
Carina Lau continued talking to herself, completely unaware that Ma Junjie had frozen in place.
He was still holding the car keys in his hand, staring intently, like an ice sculpture, completely still.
Although his body didn't move, his mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts.
He couldn't believe that Liu Bingbing and Carina Lau had actually given him a car.
And this is precisely what I need most right now.
Ma Junjie was so moved that he was speechless.
It felt like a dream.
"Brother Jie, Brother Jie?"
"Hehe, Auntie, look, Brother Jie is stunned!"
Upon hearing Liu Bingbing's voice, Ma Junjie mechanically looked towards her.
Liu Bingbing noticed Ma Junjie looking at her, and smiled happily, her face full of smug satisfaction.
Especially her eyes, which shone as if they held stars.
Turning his head again, Ma Junjie saw Carina Lau. Although Carina Lau's expression didn't change much, it was clear that she was smiling.
Ma Junjie, who never experienced the warmth of family affection growing up,
At that moment, without warning, an uncontrollable surge of heat welled up from his chest and rushed to his eyes, causing them to redden.
In his memory, the most expensive gift he had ever received was...
It was during Chinese New Year when I was a child.
My older brother, Ma Dazhu, bought him a pair of liberation shoes from the town when he went to the market.
The shoes were two or three sizes too big, and Ma Junjie treasured them, crying all night.
And now, Carina Lau and Liu Bingbing have actually given me a new car as a gift.
He couldn't hold it in any longer; he felt a slight itch in the corner of his eye.
He knew tears were about to fall, so he quickly turned his head and pretended to touch them.
"Hehehe!" Liu Bingbing burst into laughter.
"Auntie, Brother Jie... Brother Jie seems to be crying?"
Carina Lau looked at Ma Junjie and paused slightly.
She interrupted Liu Bingbing and considerately helped Ma Junjie out of the awkward situation.
"Bingbing, stop laughing."
"I asked you a question, and you haven't answered it yet!"
"Could you tell us quickly, what's the name of this car?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing walked up to Ma Junjie and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother Jie, listen up! This car is a Chery Automobile, and its name is Chery QQ!"
"The car isn't big, but I heard it's very fuel-efficient. For someone as frugal as you, it's an absolute godsend. It'll definitely be enough for commuting to work and providing shelter from the wind and rain!"
"Hehe!" Carina Lau laughed, teasingly.
"Bingbing, when did you become so thoughtful and considerate?"
"I work very hard every day, why don't you ever think about my situation?"
Liu Bingbing was stunned and speechless, then gave Liu Jialing a wry smile.
At this moment, Ma Junjie had already turned around and taken out his car keys.
Said,
"Sister Liu, Bingbing..." Ma Junjie's voice was still a little choked up, "This...this is too precious, I can't accept it."
As he spoke, Ma Junjie prepared to put the key into Liu Bingbing's hand.
To everyone's surprise, Liu Bingbing simply grabbed Ma Junjie's hand and shoved it back into his hand.
Mischievous,
"Brother Jie, I've already paid, and now I can't get a refund."
"There's no other way, you'll just have to accept it reluctantly."
"Besides, this car isn't expensive; it's a gift from my aunt and me. Just focus on your work, and when you've made a lot of money, you can repay us!"
Upon hearing this, Carina Lau echoed Liu Bingbing's words and offered her advice.
"Yes, A-Jie, you do need a means of transportation."
"Besides, this is Bingbing's kind gesture, so you should accept it. Otherwise, Bingbing will definitely keep bothering me to death! You should at least do me a favor!"
"Aunt, you...!" Liu Bingbing exclaimed excitedly, glaring at Liu Jialing.
However, upon realizing that Carina Lau seemed to be helping him, he suddenly found himself speechless.
Having said that, Ma Junjie could no longer refuse.
He took a deep breath and gripped the car keys in his hand.
He said with utmost sincerity,
"Sister Liu, Bingbing, thank you!"
"I, Ma Junjie, will remember this kindness forever. If you ever want anything from me, I will repay your kindness without hesitation!"
"Hey, Brother Jie, stop doing that!" Liu Bingbing teased.
"Brother Jie, you've suddenly become so serious, it's making my aunt and me feel quite uncomfortable."
"Alright, enough talk. Come on, I'll take you downstairs to look at cars! I specially picked out this color yesterday, I'm sure you'll like it!"
Liu Bingbing didn't wait for Ma Junjie's response; she grabbed his hand and rushed outside.
Ma Junjie quickly greeted Carina Lau.
"Sister Liu, I'm going down... I'm going down to take a look..."
Carina Lau waved her hand.
"Go ahead, try driving it first!"
Liu Bingbing grinned and dragged Ma Junjie into the stairwell.
The two went downstairs, turned a corner, and in an open space, they saw a white Chery QQ parked quietly.
The car body was clean and shiny, with the luster of a new car.
"Brother Jie, go check it out!"
Ma Junjie nodded, walked over quickly, and circled the car twice, gently stroking the car door with his fingers. The touch was smooth and delicate, so real it didn't feel like a dream.
"How's it, Brother Jie? Pretty good, right?" Liu Bingbing proudly raised her chin.
"White is dirt-resistant and looks clean, making it perfect for young people."
Ma Junjie nodded, unable to contain his excitement.
He took out his key, his hand trembling as he inserted it into the lock, and with a gentle turn, the car door opened with a "click."
Once inside the car, Ma Junjie looked at it from left to right, touching it repeatedly. He couldn't believe that this car would be his own.
Liu Bingbing chuckled and urged,
"Brother Jie, let's take it for a spin and see how it goes!"
Ma Junjie raised his head, nodded slightly, took a deep breath, fastened his seatbelt, and inserted the key to start the engine.
Instantly, the engine emitted a light, rumbling sound, not loud, but full of power.
He pressed the clutch, shifted gears, released the handbrake, and the car slowly drove off.
Even after driving for some distance, Ma Junjie still couldn't hide his excitement.
He turned his head and said to Liu Bingbing,
"Bingbing, the car is great, thank you so much, I don't know how to thank you enough!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing smiled gently.
The next second, his eyes suddenly darted around.
"Brother Jie, how about this?"
Seeing Liu Bingbing hesitate, Ma Junjie smiled and said...
"Bingbing, tell me what you want to say, and I'll fulfill any request you make!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing suddenly felt a little shy. She turned her head slightly and said seriously,
"Brother Jie, I heard you rented a new place...why don't you take me to see it?"
