Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 598 Gift

  Before the dinner starts, it is the gift opening.

  Jasmine quickly took Lao Luo’s princess dress back into the gift box, for fear that others would look carefully, and then piled up large and small gift boxes.

   "Then I will tear this down first."

   Jasmine shook the smallest box above. This was the only box without an outer packaging, and it looked a bit crude.

  Molly grabbed the lid of the box and opened it neatly.

  In the box, there are two ocean balls, one blue and one white.

  Jasmine shivered all over.

   "It's me..." Wen Ling quietly raised his hand from the side.

   "I'm sorry, Jasmine," Xiaolan said instead of Wenling, "Suddenly, Wenling has no other gifts for you...Perhaps you want to see her do magic?"

   "No...no," Jasmine refused very simply. She raised her head and smiled at Wen Ling, "Thank Wen Ling, I will be very happy to see you."

   Jasmine put the ocean ball box next to the pink skirt and sighed quietly.

  What a commemorative eighteenth birthday gift.

  "The next one is..."

  She picked up another gift box, which was a small and delicate box wrapped in golden yellow wrapping paper.

  "This is mine!" Qin Yin exclaimed, "Open it and take a look!"

   Jasmine smiled and opened the box.

   Inside the box, lies a snow-white music box.

   "Wow..." Jasmine was exclaimed, and carefully took the music box out of the box, "It's so beautiful..."

  Not only Jasmine, others also sighed sincerely.

  Where did Qin Yin get this beautiful thing?

The music box is made of some kind of unique white rock, and the surface still has a flowing cloud-like texture. When the box is opened, a faint breath emerges from it. The smell is very similar to the salty sea breeze in memory, but also like Salt grains dried on the rocks by the sea.

   "Where did you do it?" the fool couldn't help asking.

   "Hmph, envy..." Qin Yin pointed to the music box triumphantly, "Jasmine, you can open the lid of the music box again."

  Jasmine nodded and did. She supported the bottom of the music box with her right hand. The moment the tip of her left finger touched the lid of the box, she only heard a "da" and the lid opened automatically.

  The melodious music began to flow in the air.

  This is music that Xiaolan has never heard before.

  Looking at the expressions of other people, it should be the same. The melody and timbre of this tune are all so unfamiliar as to come from another world.

  The notes floating out of the music box seem to have entities, and everyone follows the melody, breathing, and silence...

  "I have never heard this kind of music," Lao Luo looked at Qin Yin in amazement, "It's so graceful...what kind of instrument is this music?"

  Qin Yin shrugged his shoulders nervously, "I don't know... I didn't do this either."

  "It's really nice..." Jasmine's eyes widened, as if she had lost her language ability, she could only exaggerate "good".

   "This is not the point," Qin Yin leaned closer with a grin, "Jasmine, look at the villain in the music box."

  Everyone heard the words and leaned over to take a look.

In the music box, a little porcelain man with a pinky finger is jumping on the stage in accordance with the rhythm of the music. Although the little porcelain man’s facial features are unrecognizable, his iconic baseball uniform has his hands crossed. The two short rods both show the identity of this image.

   "It's Jasmine!" Luo Jiutian called out.

  It is hard to imagine that Qin Yin could give such a delicate and wonderful gift.

   "God...Sister Xiaoyin..." Jasmine gaped, "I don't know what to..."

   "Hey, I don't need to thank me, I don't need to thank me," Qin Yin waved his hand, "If you like it, let's open the next one, or the dishes will be cold later."

   Jasmine nodded fiercely, put the music box back into the packing box, turned her head, and put the gift she liked on the other side away from the skirt and the ocean ball.

Baomu’s gift is a bottle of perfume. Baomu is worthy of being an advanced nasal user. As soon as the smell of the perfume diffused, everyone immediately confirmed it—this was Jasmine’s destined perfume. Everyone, including Jasmine, was shocked. Due to the matching of the smell with Jasmine, Jasmine sprayed happily and continued to open the next gift.

  Gifts from fools, among other things, look very expensive at first.

  That is a full-length ceramic statue of a poodle.

  It took Jasmine for a long time to unpack the box, looked at the statue, and was silent for a few seconds.

   "What's wrong?" The fool touched the head of the statue with satisfaction, "Don't you like it?"

   "No, no... Of course I like it," Jasmine patted the sculptured dog's neck with a strong smile, "How beautiful...Is this a dog? Oh, brother idiot, how do you think of giving me this..."

  "This is the most expensive sculpture in that shop. The owner said that girls will definitely like it," said the fool. "I think so too, don't girls like furry animals?"

  Girls will like furry animals because they are furry.

  Not only is it furry, it is also warm and soft, but this thing seems...

  Even the rich and honorable Jasmine, had the money that the stupid squandered, but she quickly adjusted her state and picked up Luo Jiutian’s gift anxiously.

  When Jasmine carried the thick brown box to her lap, the box actually moved by itself.

   "What," Qin Yin said, "How did it move? Did nine days give a living thing?"

  Looking at Jasmine’s questioning eyes, Luo Jiutian smiled mysteriously, "Open it."

  The lid is opened.

Inside   , is a gray and white pigeon.

   "Dove?" Jasmine watched the dove cleverly rubbed her finger, and asked in surprise, "Did you buy me a dove?"

  "I didn't buy it, it was raised by me," Luo Jiutian said proudly, "It is a homing pigeon. Although I usually raise it as a pet, its business ability is actually very strong."

  "Carrier pigeon..."

  Jasmine lowered her head thoughtfully, the homing pigeon had jumped out of the box, standing on Jasmine’s legs and trimming its feathers.

   "When you return to Jiutan, if there is an emergency, you can use it to notify us." Luo Jiutian explained.

   "But... don't you have a phone?" The fool asked inexplicably, "When the pigeon arrives, things will probably be resolved."

   "Homing pigeon... can homing pigeons be used as a backup method, what if all the signal base stations explode someday?"

   Jasmine smiled softly, she understood what Luo Jiutian meant.

  The carrier pigeon is a symbol.

   is a beautiful symbol.

   "Alright, alright, all my gifts are left." Xiaolan nervously pushed her gift box in front of Jasmine, "open it and take a look."
