In a few days, it will be Cheng Chu's birthday, and as her elder brother, Cheng Chu has been pondering for several days without deciding on a good gift for his sister. So, early this morning, he came to find Yan Qing, dragging Yan Qing out to the streets with him for advice on choosing a gift.
Yan Qing had never given a gift to a girl before and had no clue what to present. Along the way, he listened to Cheng Chu rejecting every idea: this wouldn't do, that wouldn't do, the sister had this, the sister had that, he had given this a few years ago, and that just the year before last. In any case, he had never missed a birthday gift each year, and it couldn't be a repeat.
Yan Qing felt quite a headache listening and regretted coming out with him. Wasn't it better to stay in bed and sleep in early in the morning? When he got up, Ling Hua was still sound asleep, dreaming of meeting Duke Zhou.
After Cheng Chu finished mumbling, he said to Yan Qing, "Come on, Yan Qing, give me an idea!"
